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

France: Macron poses in selfie with niqabi who defied French law

Feb 24, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Emmanuel Macron has been battling for votes, caught between his globalist instincts and the rising “populist” movement. For instance, he stated that he doesn’t want Muslims to be stigmatized, after making a U-turn seven months earlier, vowing “an intractable fight against political Islam.” He fails to realize that normative Islam encompasses the Sharia in every aspect of a Muslim’s life, so therefore, political Islam is normative Islam. Now Macron finds himself in a predicament as he plays both sides:

“a young woman wearing a burgundy niqab walked up to him through the crowd, a scene caught on camera and soon posted to social media. She then removed the lower part of the veil for a selfie with the president, who obliged as usual with a wide smile….A lawmaker from the far-right National Rally party, Bruno Bilde, assailed Macron for “letting this person flagrantly violate the law of 2010”.

There’s a law in France against “wearing clothing denoting a religious affiliation,” yet Macron takes a selfie with the Muslima in a niqab. On the other side, Macron recently defended a teen girl (Mila) who was forced into hiding to save her life because she criticized Islam on social media. Macron stated on Mila’s behalf that “blasphemy is no crime.”

Macron continues to be the ‘Monkey in the Middle’ as France descends into Islamization.

“Macron draws fire as admirer flouts law over Islamic face veil,” Agence France-Presse, February 20, 2020:

Far-right lawmakers took aim at French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday after a woman wearing a full-face veil approached him ahead of a speech announcing new measures to fight Islamic “separatism” in the country.

Such veils, known as niqabs, have become a political lightning rod in France since 2010, when it became the first European country to ban them in public.

Critics say their use underscores the push by some Muslims to live apart from traditional French society, something Macron vowed to combat in a speech on Tuesday in Mulhouse, eastern France.

But while surrounded by police during a neighbourhood tour beforehand, a young woman wearing a burgundy niqab walked up to him through the crowd, a scene caught on camera and soon posted to social media.

She then removed the lower part of the veil for a selfie with the president, who obliged as usual with a wide smile.

The official fines of up to 150 euros ($160) for wearing clothing denoting a religious affiliation are only rarely applied, which has long irked rightwing parties accusing officials of being too lax against so-called Islamic separatism….

National Rally leader Marine Le Pen, expected to again be Macron’s main adversary in presidential elections set for 2022, had already demanded to know Tuesday if the young woman “had been stopped by police, as the law requires?”

During his speech, Macron announced a series of steps to counter “foreign influences” on Islam in France, notably by gradually expelling the roughly 300 imams currently sent to preach in France by countries including Algeria and Turkey….

“The problem we have today with this system is that we have more and more teachers who don’t speak French,” Macron said.

Taking aim at Turkey particularly, he said he would let “no country stoke separatism on French soil, whether religious, political or identity-related”.

Turkey’s parliament speaker Mustafa Sentop hit back on Wednesday, accusing Macron of “primitive islamophobia”….

    Unless they stop mass migration, they cannot stop islamization.

      France has over 5 million Muslims. About 15% of them are radicalized … about 600,000. France cannot stop the jihad unless they engage in psychological countermeasures against jihadism.

        That ‘raicalized’ nonsense and its sister obfuscation ‘jihadism’ serves only to keep the public uninformed.

        • mortimer says

          Feb 24, 2020 at 9:39 am

          PRCS … ‘radical’ means ‘going to the root’ … to the source of the teachings of Islam. ‘Radical’ is not a synonym for ‘off the rails’ or ‘extreme’ as you assume. ‘Radical’ simply means ‘foundational’. Consult a dictionary.

          PRCS … here is your opportunity to learn something … Definition of Jihadism: Jihadism is driven by the idea that jihad (religiously-sanctioned warfare) is an individual obligation (fard ‘ayn) incumbent upon all Muslims, rather than a collective obligation carried out by legitimate representatives of the Muslim community (fard kifaya), as it was traditionally understood in the pre-modern era. They are able to do this by arguing that Muslim leaders today are illegitimate and do not command the authority to ordain justified violence. In the absence of such authority, they argue, every able-bodied Muslim should take up the mantle of jihad. Contrast this state of affairs with World War I, when the Kaiser himself had to sweet talk the Ottoman caliphate into declaring jihad against the Allied Powers.

          Furthermore, the vast majority of Islamic scholars acknowledge that the Quranic verses dealing with violence and the use of force were tied to a specific set of circumstances, and it was the task of clerics to consider when war was or wasn’t justified and how it should be waged. This is the jurisprudence of jihad. Freed from context and the classical rules of warfare, modern jihadist groups generally aim to incite their coreligionists to rise up and fight the enemy en masse, wherever they happen to be and by any means necessary. Theologically, Muslims of various persuasions have engaged in jihad—not just ultraconservative Salafis, but mystical Sufis as well.

          Salafi-Jihadism: This is an approach to jihadism that is coupled with an adherence to Salafism. Salafi-jihadists tend to emphasize the military exploits of the Salaf (the early generations of Muslims) to give their violence an even more immediate divine imperative. Most jihadist groups today can be classified as Salafi-jihadists, including al-Qaida and ISIS. Given their exclusivist view that their approach to Islam is the only authentic one, Salafi-jihadists often justify violence against other Muslims, including non-combatants, by recourse to takfir, or the excommunication of fellow Muslims. For these groups, if Muslims have been deemed to be apostates, then violence against them is licit.

          Mortimer, Jihad is not a new thing. It has been around for 1400 years now. Some of the tactics change over time, but that is all.

      • PRCS says

        Feb 24, 2020 at 10:04 am

        Time for you to be told again:

        1. The general public does NOT associate the terms radical/radicalized/radicalism with ‘the root. They associate it with the equally moronic notion of “Muslim extremism”.
        2. Nazism, Socialism, Fascism and Communism are stand alone idiologies. Jihad is a ‘core’ component of Islam.

        Feb 24, 2020 at 10:08 pm

        Mortimer, where do you get these figures? You never say.

        And I suppose the last here is your stumping for “deprogramming” Muslims. When has this ever worked?

        France is in trouble because she has foolishly let in so many ravening Muslims.

      • Seeking Deliverance says

        Feb 25, 2020 at 4:10 am

        Incorrect… because one recent poll of Muslims found 60% (or perhaps 61% I forget precisely) believe Sharia Law supersedes National Law in kafir countries. 51% of the Koran deals with how to mistreat/treat/convert kafir (non-Muslims). Facts matter. Every Muslim is a “radical” Muslim. There are no exceptions. Period.

        Psychological countermeasures? Show me proof that any of these psycho ”radicals” have a functional mind. Their soul, such as it is, is too filled with hate. The only thing they respect is a response in kind or some other ass whuppin.

    Macron and other politicians like him refuse to LEARN anything about Islam, but rely on what they easily see and hear aided by those around them, who in most cases will only tell them what they want to hear … namely, that Islam is benign and other self-soothing nonsense.

    The Islamic veil is the ultimate symbol of misogyny, patriarchy and societal backwardness. The purpose of the veil is to declare that a woman is property and under the absolute control of a man.

    The veil is in direct opposition to France’s foundational principle of ‘FRATERNITÉ’. The Islamic veil is a symbol of exclusion, segregation and supremacism.

    The veil is a complete rejection of the concept of ‘FRATERNITÉ’.

    The police in France is a complete joke. I have seen so many niqabis with their monkey-like husbands in public in France. None was ever fined.

      You should see the increasing amount of niqabis in the West Los Angeles area… more and more every month. No thanks to the Saudi Arabian built and funded King Fahad Mosque in Culver City… a harbinger of terrorism and DOOM!
