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

Macron accused of “anti-Muslim prejudice” for calling Bosnia a “ticking time bomb”

Nov 13, 2019 4:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Even globalist French President Emmanuel Macron is failing to keep Islamic supremacists happy. No matter how much globalists kowtow, it will never suffice until the sharia is established. This has already begun, with shutting-down of speech that has been deemed offensive to Islam and/or Muslims, while flinging open doors to unvetted Muslim migration.

“Macron prompted outrage in Bosnia and Herzegovina when he casually dismissed the whole country as a ‘ticking time-bomb’ unfit for European Union membership.” The French President was referring to returning jihadists from Syria — whom he has refused to repatriate. His words (“ticking time bomb”), however, were portrayed as an insult to Muslims in Bosnia and compared to Donald Trump’s alleged “sh**hole country” remark.

How easily offended Islamic supremacists are, but their real issue is with anyone who addresses the jihadist threat realistically, because to do so stymies their efforts. Islamic supremacists either trivialize the jihad threat, claiming that it has no link to Islam, or they accuse the one who who addresses the threat of “Islamophobia.”

“Macron’s ‘Time-Bomb’ Remark Betrays Wider Anti-Muslim Prejudice,” by Darryl Li, Balkan Insight, November 12, 2019:

Last week, French president Emmanuel Macron prompted outrage in Bosnia and Herzegovina when he casually dismissed the whole country as a “ticking time-bomb” unfit for European Union membership.

Macron referenced “returning jihadists” from Syria, but Bosnia is no different from France and other EU states on this score, so the line seemed to needlessly single out one of the biggest Muslim-majority countries in Europe. The comment came off as little more than a high-brow version of Donald Trump’s infamous “shithole countries” remark.

Macron’s words, however, reflected a broader animus against Muslims with ramifications far beyond Bosnia and must also be squarely challenged.

The anger in Bosnia at Macron builds on years of frustration at how the West seems only to care about the country as a potential “jihadi hotbed.”

That concern stems from a notion that a country full of people who are both Muslim and white must be an oxymoron: Bosnian Muslims may seem like good Westerners but they could be secret fanatics, all the more dangerous because they confound racial profiling measures.

Blanket demonisation

Needless to say, Serb and Croat nationalists relentlessly invoked this theme during the 1992-1995 war, presenting themselves as defenders of Western civilisation against Islam….

    ………………..

    One of the few sane things Macron has said.

    • Wellington says

      Yes, gravenimage, but Macron will still learn nothing from this since dhimmi excuse makers for Islam (e.g., Macron) cannot help being such unless they realize that Islam, all of it, is a mortal enemy of Western Civilization at its best.

      To date, I have ZERO evidence Macron has realized this. After all, a fool occasionally stumbling into the truth means very little.

        News for Macron: 5 million Muslims living in France are also ticking time bombs should a charismatic jihad rabble rouser emerge to lead them ! The hundreds of jihad-vandalisms currently taking place in France will turn into several thousands per year. There will not be enough police.

        Does Macron realize that Muslims see France as the HOME OF THE ‘FRANKS’ (Crusaders) and that they hate France particularly as the country that led the Crusades?

      • gravenimage says

        Nov 14, 2019 at 4:27 pm

        True, Wellington and Mortimer. I do not think that Macron has actually learned anything about Islam from this, or that he realizes the threat from Muslims to his own people.

    Isn’t Bosnia where many churches and monasteries have been blown to bits? Scared of a church? Christianophobia. Churchophobia.

    • LB says

      No, that’s Kosovo you’re thinking of, where hundreds of Orthodox Christian churches built by the first Serbian kings thousand years ago were torn down in an attempt to erase the history of the region. Textbook muslim behavior in conquered lands.

      Unlike Kosovo, where Christian Serbian population has been systematically purged by muslim Albanians since WWII, Bosnia is a region populated almost exclusively by Serbs. The divide happened when Ottomans invaded and around half of the population converted to islam to escape the muslim brutality upon Christians.

      Fast forward several centuries and now you have a situation where muslim Serbs are now calling themselves “Bosnians” and claim they have nothing to do with their Orthodox neighbors, even though half of their current territory is populated by those very same Christian Serbs (that’s the “Herzegovina” part of “Bosnia & Herzegovina” which is the full name of the country).

      The only thing holding Bosnia and Herzegovina together is the Dayton agreement signed after the 1992-1995 war, which was supposed to act as a temporary solution to the problem. But as it stands, both sides are getting more displeased as time goes on because Bosnian Christians (Serbs) want to join Serbia, but Bosnian muslims won’t let them because that would mean giving up half of their territory.

      It’s all one giant shitshow, really.

        Serbia needs to press to get back Srpska – the ethnic Serb part of Bosnia which is contiguous w/ Serbia, using Kosovo as the precedent for making such a claim. Kosovo never existed in history, but was forcibly carved out by Bill Clinton. Similarly, Serbia should make it clear in the UN or the EU that they want this b’cos… Serbs!, and start treating it like one of their provinces. Let’s see the grounds w/ which Bosnia objects.

        Also, Herzegovina is Christian Serb? Then that too should go to Serbia: just leave Bosnia as a Muslim country, maybe w/ a corridor to either Kosovo or Albania

      Battle and LB, there have indeed been churches and monasteries destroyed in Bosnia:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Destroyed_churches_in_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina

      There may be more.

      But yes, things are even worse in Kosovo. Muslims always have plenty of hate to go around.

      And LB, you are mistaken in believing that the population of Bosnia is mostly Christian Serbs. In fact, Bosnia and Herzegovina is about 50% Muslim and 45% Christian, a situation that always results in violence and persecution of Infidels by Muslims.

    It proves that even Macron cannot be wrong all of the time but like a broken clock which is right once a day, he is right much less often.

    The writer of the article, Daryl Li, smears Serb and Croat nationalists as

    “presenting themselves as defenders of Western civilisation against Islam….”

    Has Daryl Li not seen the Muslim Brotherhood’s “Explanatory Memorandum” ?
    This sets out their strategy of “destroying the Western civilisation from within”.

    All of the countries which were conquered by Islam in the past and still have sizeable Muslim populations are worth the watching. When ISIS was at its height it was known there were caches of weapons hidden in Bosnia.

    Bosnian people…
    There was a war in the 90’s, bosnian muslim women were raped by serbian and croatian men, after that, for the muslim community this women were like rubbish, sh.t, bad. It is horrible for a woman to be raped and they made it for them worse! The same happened at the rohingyas. I am a woman, and it is disgusting how this muslims behaved with the raped women. It can be dangerous to let them join to EU. We have already enough wallabilla

    If you want a disaster, just add islam.
    Macron is not the only one who thinks Bosnia is a time bomb. This is from the al guardian, the most pro islam paper in the UK. The comments are telling.
    The title is also tells us, that in islam the infidel is always responsible for moslem failure.

    “Bosnia is at risk of becoming a failed state. Does the EU want that on its doorstep?”

      Pretty much all Muslim polities are failed states. No surprise there.
