Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

France won’t take back Islamic State jihadis and their families after furious public outcry

Apr 7, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

“He denied Liberation’s claim that France’s policy with regards to fighters in Syria was being dictated by public opinion.”

Better public opinion than the suicidal dictates of the globalist elites.

“France will not take back ISIS jihadis and their families following furious backlash at reports 250 of them would be allowed to return,” by Ross Ibbetson, Mailonline, April 7, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

France has ruled out repatriating jihadists and their families from Syria following furious backlash at reports 250 of them would be allowed to return.

Interior Minister Christophe Castaner told a press conference in Paris on Friday: ‘No communal repatriation was under consideration to be carried out.’

It had been reported that in early March the government was prepared to bring home around 250 men, women and children from the former ‘caliphate,’ which brought widespread public backlash.

France and other European nations are considering how to deal with the thousands of foreigners, many of whom are being held by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces which led the final push against IS.

The issue is extremely sensitive in France, where a deadly 2015 attack on the capital claimed by IS killed 130 people and set off a wave of other deadly assaults since then.

Castaner said: ‘It’s logical that our services considered all hypotheses. This was one of the hypothesis they prepared.’

However, he reiterated that France would nonetheless study bringing back children of jihadist fighters on a ‘case-by-case basis’.

He denied Liberation’s claim that France’s policy with regards to fighters in Syria was being dictated by public opinion….

    Why would anyone want to repatriate the ‘crème de la merde’ of French society? Let them rot! Clowns!

    God forbid! That would be democracy! We do not listen to public opinion. We listen to the OIC and only the OIC. OK, and the Arab League. But *never* the public. Don’t ever accuse us of such a thing.

      Don’t forget: The public don’t know what is good for them. They are being Islamophobic. Well, that is surely the right thing to be? The French government is against the people. They should have voted for Le Pen. Next time, hopefully, they will.

    yes, but do no-go zones still count as France?

    Furious backlash is what it will take, folks. All the evidence shows that we cannot depend on politicians to pursue common sense policies when it comes to Islam. Only a very very few politicians, who cannot do much on their own, will even touch the issue in a reasonable way. So it’s up to the public to become more activist in making clear to politicians what they must do if they want our vote. If we don’t act, what follows will be our own fault.

    But they are planning to bring in the terror-lings on a case by case basis. This would then F-up the coming gens..

    “Also…on earth, anguish of nations, not knowing the way out… because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation (Luke 21:25).” ( in the Bible, the “sea” pictures humanity, the people)

    Certainly, the “nations'” leaders do not *know the way out.* Whatever they do, whatever they decide, will be criticized by someone…people and/or nations.

    It is rare indeed that any government is listening to its citizens on any subject or issue. And France is denying doing so.

    The main duty of any good and competent government is protect the lives , safety and security of its citizens. Its wise not to ally any of the ISIS /Muslims to return to France

    . In other words , it’s not in the interest of France to permit the turn to France those who had forsaken and turned their back on France to travel a to and join a hostile a vicious and murderous jihad entity, ISIS.

    It would be extreme folly and foolishness to allow treasonous to return to France .For those individuals have proven by the actions that they are disloyal to the nation of France and might possibly poses a danger to the French people.

    Those specific Muslims might still be ISIS/Muslims in heart , thoughts ,ideas and ideology and could still have the scheming jihad/ISIS intentions as inflect future Islamic terror jihad attacks in France and murder many French citizens. As the Bible in Proverbs 12:20 teaches “Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil.” [N.I.V.]

    Let’s remember those vicious ISIS jihad attack and those brutal murderous Islamic terror attacks in, France last December at that French Christmas market and before that on the jihad attack on November 13, 2015 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack, in Paris on July 14, 2016 in an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1] This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS. The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice. Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.
    Allow them to return? No.

    I’m glad that the French people are capable of furious backlash, because it seems that the American people have lost that ability.

    This is good news coming out of France. Perhaps some other countries will take note of the move.

    Apparently the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) are winning! They allow themselves to have balls and physically oppose the globalist regimeof Macron!

    In Canada we have a “yellow vest” movement but it has to be nice, friendly, polite, and so far useless! The lower case used to name the group is intentional as to its overall effect!

      Perhaps the problem is with Canadians themselves. All the Canadians I have met (and I am British, and a retired French teacher) have been unfailingly friendly and polite, and genuinely nice people, so that is the perception I have of Canadians as a whole. That could be a problem when dealing with scumbags like the Islamic State drek,
