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

French senator warns France is losing its freedoms because it refuses to fight jihad

Jan 12, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“France is ‘losing its battle’ against Islamic extremism, a conservative senator has warned, as it ‘refuses to fight’ against jihadism.”

Globalists have adopted a lazy, simpleminded, appeasement approach to the jihad. This includes kowtowing to Islamic lobbies and embracing the “Islamophobia” brigade. In so doing, globalists mistakenly believe that jihadists will retreat and live in harmony with us. Such vacuousness has given jihadists valuable time to find ways to subvert free societies. Their mission is conquest through violent and stealthy means, as is documented through 1400 years of history. The only time when the Islamic expansion has been stymied historically is when confronted for what it is. As Robert Spencer explains:

…in 1683, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmet IV assembled a large force of jihad warriors and set forth once more into Europe, intent upon succeeding in bringing it to heel where his illustrious forbears had failed. Mehmet’s grand vizier, Kara Mustafa, urged him to try again to take Vienna, arguing that it was the key to the conquest of Europe and that if he conquered it, “all the Christians would obey the Ottomans.” The jihadis duly placed Vienna under siege once again but did not count on the Polish King Jan Sobieski, who hurried to the city with a relief force. Approaching Vienna, Sobieski saw the arrangement of the sultan’s forces around the city and remarked, “This man is badly encamped. He knows nothing of war, we shall certainly defeat him.” In the dawn hours of September 12, he did. The Ottoman siege was decisively broken, and Christendom once again saved. The warriors of jihad fled in confusion, but they would, of course, be back.

The advance of Islamization has never relented throughout history, and will never surrender. It must be continuously pushed back. It advances in the West today through shutting down the freedom of speech, the cornerstone of democracy, thereby establishing supremacy. It embeds itself within societies like a chameleon, taking whatever shape or form necessary to advance its objectives. Slogans such as “diversity is our strength,” without established limits on what “diversity” could mean, aid Islamization, as do open-door immigration policies implemented without vetting. Countries with globalist leaders, such as France, are prime targets for Islamization. According to Bruno Retailleau, “a top conservative senator” of the opposition Les Républicains party, France refuses to fight against the jihad, even after the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Although “French President Emmanuel Macron has repeatedly listed the fight against Islamist terrorism as one of his government’s top priorities,” according to the New York Times, but his motive is that he “hopes the stricter stance will lure voters away from the far right.”

Islamization is nothing but a voting game for corrupted globalists. If the right is winning, they’ll change policy. If they feel that Islamic supremacists are winning, they’ll appease them. Once they get the votes, they’ve achieved their endgame. They are unconcerned about the fight for human rights and freedom for all, and have no respect for the history of sacrifice that enabled Western countries to provide freedom to their citizens. Without that sacrifice, the West would be like the Middle East and Africa, with an exception of Israel, which also had to fight Arab nationalism and jihad in order to survive. Israel continues to fight the Islamic impulse to obliterate it to this day, while the Palestinian delusion of victimhood continues to provide cover for jihadis.

French Senator Bruno Retailleau also stated in May that the “decision to build an ‘ultra-liberal‘ Europe was a huge mistake,” and warned that “radical Islam wants to build a counter-society with a separatist aim.”

“France warned it’s ‘losing its battle’ against Islamic extremism as it ‘refuses to fight,’” by Romina McGuinnes, Express, January 8, 2020:

France, a country deeply attached to its secular values, remains on high terror alert after being targeted by a string of deadly attacks by Islamist militants since 2015.

Bruno Retailleau, a top conservative senator of the opposition Les Républicains (LR) party, warned on Tuesday: “France is losing its battle against Islamic jihadism.”

Mr Retailleau said in an interview with French broadcaster Sud Radio: “We are losing this battle because we are refusing to fight [extremism]”.

His scathing comments came on the fifth anniversary of the attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo by two brothers pledging allegiance to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).

On January 7, 2015, Cherif and Said Kouachi stormed the magazine’s Paris offices and opened fire with automatic weapons, killing 12 people and wounding several others.

They then ran out into the street and were challenged by a police officer, Lieutenant Ahmet Merabet. He was shot dead.

On January 8, their accomplice Amedy Coulibaly shot dead a female police officer in the Paris suburb of Montrouge and a day later, burst into a kosher supermarket east of Paris and killed four customers. He was a member of the jihadist group Islamic State (ISIS).

All three men were killed by police in separate standoffs on January 9.

The attack on the popular weekly, was the first in a series of terrorist attacks that have claimed more than 250 lives since 2015, most at the hands of young homegrown jihadists.

But, despite a lull in large-scale, sophisticated attacks, French officials have repeatedly warned that the terrorist risk to France remains high.

On Friday, a knife-wielding man ran amok in a park in the southern Paris suburb of Villejuif, killing a man walking with his wife and wounding two other people before being shot dead by police.

The assailant, identified as 22-year-old Nathan C, had shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is Greatest) during the attack….

    Bruno Retailleau correctly observes that Islam creates enclaves from which to conduct jihad. This is Mohammed’s method.

    Mohammed retreated to Medina before returning to Mecca and taking it. Then he attacked all countries around him . This is the pattern that Muslims are trying to imitate in Europe.

    Once the separate Muslim enclaves gain enough political power, they will gradually take the surrounding areas. This is Mohammed’s method.

    The French have the tag of being “Surrender Monkeys”, but don’t believe it! They have many citizens of courage. It’s just the pathetic “Leaders” they have at the moment calling the shots, but they WILL be swept aside & make no mistake!

    It’s no surprise to anyone who has been watching that France and many other nations that have taken in large amounts of Muslim migrants are now losing their freedoms. In my opinion, globalist politicians want this. They have used mass immigration as a weapon in our countries because they want our countries gone.

    The advancing evils of the violent and murderous jihad in France as well as in the other countries of Europe especially since September 11, 2001 all involve this twenty-first century conflict between the Judeo- Christian West and the Islamic East which also has been termed “The war of Ideas” the West needs ideas for its very foundation and defense that is far superior to something as weak and worthless as just “opinion.”
    What the West needs is wisdom. As the Bible instructs “Wisdom is better than strength.” Ecclesiastes 9:16. [N.K.J.V.]

    Likewise, this same book of the Bible also teaches in 9:18 “Wisdom is better than weapons of war.” Therefore, wisdom is in strong contrast to opinion. Also greatly opposed to wisdom is folly and deceit. As the Bible in Proverbs 14:8 informs the reader ‘The folly of fools is deceit.”

    The deception of deceit may be seen, by all those who are willing to see, in the Islamic doctrine of a virgin filled paradise designed specify for the male Muslim jihadist who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam, in what they so inappropriately call a “martyrdom operation.” Many a times a jihadist/Muslim is so very deluded the he actually put on his video recording that after he dies in the jihad as a “martyr” he will then in paradise have a “wedding with virgins.” This firm but blind unquestioning folly is the result of such a man believing in deception of a false doctrine. With Light of the Wisdom of Jesus a belief in a “wedding with virgins.” is the outcome of a person accepting as the “truth” an invalid and false. For Jesus taught “you are mistaken, not knowing the Scripture nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30.

    A jihadist will after dies and such a murderous way will have a very hard and harsh “reality check” In that “his expectation will perish…” Proverb 11:7. For he will then discover that he was deceived by false doctrine and lie of “a paradise with virgins” and to his shock and horror he will find himself trapped and suffering ,with no hope of escape, in the fires of hell. As the Bible teaches a murder “will not inherit the kingdom of God,” Galatians 5:21. This is sad and tragic but nevertheless it’s the reality of the truth.

      So if a Muslim believes a false doctrine, we have just proven that faith is NOT a reliable source for knowledge, right?

    A devout but deluded jihad-minded Muslim who dies in a murderous terrorist Islamic in France or in any other Western nation will have an awful surprise waiting for him after his death.

    To put this in a more clear way, any jihadist just after his Islamic suicide /homicide attack right after he died ,to his shock and horror, he found himself trapped and suffering in the fires of an awful place the Bible calls “hell.” Luke 16:19-31. That jihad minded Muslim of ISIS was dangerous to self and others because that he was indoctrinated with and likewise believed in the doctrine found in the Quran, 44:54. 55:56. 78;31.,of a lust –filled sex paradise with many virgins, in in for his use only, because he died as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam. That jihadist will discover the hard way that he was instructed in and put his faith in a false doctrine that is from a false religious book of false religion .This doctrine of a paradise for the jihadist who died fighting for Islam was only an enticing religious story of fiction. The Bible does give warning against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. [N.K.J.V] As for dying in a murderous jihad attack, in spite, of the Muslim clerics falsely calling it a “martyrdom operation.” That jihadist after in dies in a jihad murder attack, and learn too late, the truth of Bible with informs its reader that a murderer “will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21.

    In addition, such false teachers, as those imams and mullahs, who teach and ingrain false yet enticing doctrines as that a lust /sex fill place with virgins into the hearts and minds of others had been predicted in the Bible. For it is written, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine , but according to their own desires , because they have itching ears , they will heap up for themselves teachers ; and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables.” Second Timothy 3,4.
