“The killing of the Islamic State leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was met this week with no outpouring of joy or even relief in France, even though this is the European country that suffered most from his depredations. The reason is simple: the Islamic State’s crimes, and the fear they instilled in the national psyche, are so ingrained in France that the daily fabric of life has been inexorably altered.”
This is all part of a larger scheme. Islam has a 1400-year history, and countries existing under the sharia today are proof enough of its nature of oppression, subversion and conquest.
Recall the words of Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM) — the mastermind of 9/11 — about defeating America:
“We will win because Americans don’t realize . . . we do not need to defeat you militarily; we only need to fight long enough for you to defeat yourself by quitting.”
Large-scale attacks such as 9/11 were “nice, but not necessary.”
“Jihadi-minded brothers would immigrate into the United States” and “wrap themselves in America’s rights and laws” until they were strong enough to rise up and attack us. “He said the brothers would relentlessly continue their attacks and the American people would eventually become so tired, so frightened, and so weary of war that they would just want it to end.”
The French and many other Western nations have now become “so tired” and “so frightened” that “the daily fabric of life has been inexorably altered.” Western leaders have failed to resist Islamization, as KSM predicted. French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that terrorism will be “part of our daily lives for the years to come”; former French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said similarly that “times have changed and we should learn to live with terrorism.”
The West absolutely should not learn to live with terrorism. Nor should it submit to intimidation from Islamic supremacists. It should stand firm on its principles of freedom, beginning with upholding the freedom of speech, including the right to openly discuss and to criticize Islam, like any other ideology and religion. Immigration also needs to be controlled and restored to a commonsense approach.
The demise of the terrorist leader did nothing to heal the wound that the Islamic State opened in French society with the terrorist attacks of 2015 and 2016. Every day, in the persistent mutual fear and suspicion that exists between France and its large, imperfectly integrated Muslim minority, the wound festers.
Let’s hope that it is not too late for France and other Western nations that have been apathetic and cowardly in their approach to Islamization.
“Death of ISIS Leader Is Scant Consolation to a Changed France,” by Adam Nossiter, New York Times, October 31, 2019:
PARIS — The killing of the Islamic State leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was met this week with no outpouring of joy or even relief in France, even though this is the European country that suffered most from his depredations.
The reason is simple: the Islamic State’s crimes, and the fear they instilled in the national psyche, are so ingrained in France that the daily fabric of life has been inexorably altered.
As if proof were needed, within the last month, a former far-right candidate shot two Muslims who stopped him from burning down a mosque. A Muslim mother was reprimanded by an official for wearing a head scarf. And President Emmanuel Macron called for a “society of vigilance” after a Muslim employee at Police Headquarters in Paris killed four officers in a knife attack.
These recent symptoms of what some call an ongoing trauma for France demonstrate why Mr. al-Baghdadi’s death was ‘‘no more than a step,” as Mr. Macron put it Sunday in a muted reaction to the news.
The demise of the terrorist leader did nothing to heal the wound that the Islamic State opened in French society with the terrorist attacks of 2015 and 2016. Every day, in the persistent mutual fear and suspicion that exists between France and its large, imperfectly integrated Muslim minority, the wound festers.
In a survey published Sunday by IFOP, a respected polling firm, in the Journal du Dimanche, 61 percent of respondents said that Islam was “incompatible with the values of French society,” an increase of 8 percent over February. Nearly 80 percent said they felt that the vaunted French creed of secularism was “in danger,” largely because of Islam…..
Keya says
It was not a very long time ago that France had a revolution. Now the same France has been brought to its knees by Islam. So sad!
Rufolino says
“Let’s hope it is not too late” ?
Come on ! There is almost NO SIGN that any W.European country has the WILLPOWER required to resist insidious conquest by Islam.
Only the East European nations, like Poland, are going to survive. Communist rule taught them how to resist ideological tyrrany.
The die is cast, and simply waits for fulfillment. If changes happen in W.Europe, it will only be by armed insurrection against traitorous governments. The whole apparatus of military defence will be used to put them down, so they stand little chance.
william carr says
Keya you need to look at your history books. It was almost 2 and a half centuries ago, and for most people it was disaster. More terrorism against ordinary people than Islamic terrorism today and of course it lead to Napoleon’s dictatorship which was also a disaster for both France and the rest of Europe from the many wars in Europe he instigated. Not forgetting Egypt.

Largely true, William. Apart from the American Revolution, most do not turn out well.

…and managed to splash the piece of shit that was tagged to succeed him only hours after spashing al-Baghdadi – good work US Special Forces, well done!
And now Isis have just graciously announced the very latest a new ‘Caliph’, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi.
Gentlemen, we have a new prime target. Good luck, and may our Amighty God’s bless you in your work.

islam is ultimately a CULT,the Cult of muhammed{Peas,toppings,cuddly wuddly hugs,and good halloween cheer be upon him!}because this cult is at the heart of islam.
If allah is insulted:
NOBODY CARES
BUT
If muhammed is insulted:
Riots in Abdoolistan,”the prophet has been insulted:let’s use this as a convenient excuse to suddenly go mentally insane do evil and violence”
So,muhammed is ABOVE allah in islam..
In fact it can be said that..
muhammed is the god of islam and allah is his sock puppet.
Draw a picture of allah:probably it would look something like Humpty Dumpty given he is apparently ROUND{his throne is round},has ONE leg and TWO RIGHT HANDS{sahih muslim 1827}
NOBODY CARES
Draw a picture of muhammed:
RIOTS
Draw a picture of muhammed’s WINGED FLYING FANTASY HORSEY WITH A WOMAN’S FACE AND A PEACOCK TAIL
muslims…?????Whaaaat…?He had a FLYING HORSE?

Memo to Adam Nossiter of New York Times:
The Muslim minority is INSTRUCTED NOT to integrate.
Erdogan decried assimilation as “a crime against humanity”.

// Erdogan decried assimilation as “a crime against humanity”. //
Not so much a crime against humanity as a crime against ummahnity.
Ummah is the Muslim community. The rest of us don’t count.
Michael Copeland says
So true – ” the daily fabric of life has been inexorably altered”.
This is the product of the great invasion. Month by month, year by year, what is normal has to be constantly adjusted downwards, always at cultural loss.
Wellington says
The bane of Islam is inexorable and in numerous ways, examples being outright terrorism and demographic jihad. But even worse than this evil religion is the appeasement mentality towards Islam that so many dhimmi Westerners now engage in.
Evil is bad enough but appeasing evil is even worse. This is the state of things in much of the West in our time. It is not only tragic but also immensely stupid—and the most harmful stupid people are the well-educated ones who have power and influence, which demonstrates that education without common sense and moral intelligence is worse than useless, indeed it can be deadly.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
You are certainly correct regarding the attempted appeasement of evil.
I think that Fat Clemenza had it right in “The Godfather” (1972):
Clemenza: … “You know you got to stop them at the beginning, like they should have stopped Hitler at Munich, They should never’ve let him get away with that. They was just asking for big trouble.”
Wellington says
Most certainly, James. As Ayn Rand opined many times, not taking out evil early on invariably results in a much higher cost down the road to mankind. Lenin and Hitler serve as two prime examples of this truth. So does the idiotic way the present elites in the West continue to pamper Islam, which is as evil as Marxism and Nazism though hiding behind a religious veil, rather than accurately describing it as malevolent and thereafter dealing with it accordingly and swiftly.
Wellington says
P.S. Greatly enjoy “The Godfather” and its sequel in 1974. Both are magnificent though Robert De Niro playing the young Don Corleone in the sequel is a downer, not because De Niro is a bad actor, far from it, but because he is such an ass in real life.

I suspect part of it is because the Americans did it…

Underestimation of the enemies can be fatal during an armed conflict.

In fairness to the french, you don’t expect relief once you’re at that stage. You can expect more of the same, and it’s very hard to walk the situation back. The left will use it as justification for compromise, compromise for peace, peace in our time.

Accepting Jihad terror as the “new normal”…
Lavéritétriomphera says
Jihad terror is not accepted as “the new normal”, but we have been repeatedly told that the international terrorism is still a threat.
gravenimage says
All too many in France do seem to be accepting this as the “new normal”. Glad you are not.
Lavéritétriomphera says
It’s not something you can get used to.
Livia Varju says
It’s useless to kill Islamic terrorist leaders or terrorists, we have to dstroy the ideology! I have a list of 145 Islamic terrorist groups in the world and there are hundreds of thousands of young Muslims ready to join, many in western Europe.
The solution is up to Imams, and governments should oblige them to declare fatwas on terrorists and repeat over and over in mosques and the media that murderers won’t go to Paradise. In addition, in the Islamic sacred books all incitements to violence and murder must be eliminated. There is no other way.
Janice Mermikli says
Agreed, but if you take out the parts of the Quran that contain incitements to violence and murder, there isn’t a lot left!
Is-lamesucks says
France needs to activate it’s military and start cleaning out the muslim no go zones. Once they’ve cleared them, send every last muslim back their country of origin. If born In France, back to their ancestors homelands. There will never be peace in France until they do. Vote the libturds out!
Linda Rivera says
British, European and other Western leaders and intelligence agencies are neither naive or ignorant. They know the bloodstained history of Islam. That over a period of 1,400 years Muslims savagely slaughtered Hundreds of Millions of our non Muslim brother and sister innocents.
Their Blood Cries Out From the Ground to God.
Knowing this, NWO Globalist elite God haters – Jesus Christ Haters, colonized our nations with Muslims. Muslims have been imported to mass genocide Jews, Christians and all other non Muslims.
The followers of Mass Murderer Mohammad are paid by Western leaders with welfare to perpetrate the coming horrors. Far Worse than the most terrifying nightmare. Britain’s MP Enoch Powell, prophetically warned that Rivers of Blood will Run in our Streets.
