France: After Muslim migrant beheads man for Muhammad cartoons, Macron vows ‘They will not divide us’

Oct 17, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer 42 Comments

Macron said: “This battle is ours and it is existential. They will not pass. Obscurantism and the violence that goes with it will not win. They will not divide us. That’s what they seek and we must stand together.”

“They will not divide us” is a statement that is designed to reassure Muslims in France. Macron is saying that he will do nothing to “divide” the supposedly happily united French people. What would “divide” them? Well, something like scrutinizing the Islamic death penalty for blasphemy and challenging Muslim leaders in France to repudiate it explicitly and declare their support for the freedom of speech, and to demonstrate their sincerity by instituting programs in mosques and Islamic schools in France to teach against Sharia blasphemy laws and emphasize the importance of the freedom of speech. That would “divide us.” Macron is saying it won’t happen, as expected.

“France teacher had received ‘days of threats’ before his brutal killing,” BBC, October 17, 2020 (thanks to Mick):

The teacher who was beheaded in a street in France had received threats after showing controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to his pupils, French media report.

He has been named as 47-year-old Samuel Paty, a history and geography teacher….

President Emmanuel Macron said the attack bore all the hallmarks of an “Islamist terrorist attack” and the teacher had been murdered because he “taught freedom of expression”.

Speaking at the scene hours after the incident, he stressed national unity. “They will not prevail, they will not divide us,” he said….

The French presidency said a national tribute would be held for Mr Paty, and the hashtag #JeSuisSamuel (I am Samuel) began trending on social media, echoing the #JeSuisCharlie call for solidarity after the attack on Charlie Hebdo….

    Message to Macron: ISLAM ‘DIVIDES’ MUSLIMS from the DIRTY KUFAAR.

    Islam makes a formal division by the UMMAH (the Islamic community) and the KAFIRS.

    Kafirs are the worst of beasts and lowest thing that a person can be.

    Whoever disagrees with Mohammed is a kafir and kafirs have forfeited their human rights according to Sharia.

    Kafirs are to be subjugated by Muslims and controlled by them as they would cattle. Rogue kafirs who dissent from Islamic overlordship may be culled and removed from the herd by execution. Any private Muslim may cull the rogue kafirs and they will receive the approbation of the UMMAH.

    “There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593

      “Message to Macron: ISLAM ‘DIVIDES’ MUSLIMS from the DIRTY KUFAAR.”

      Absolutely! France is already divided. Belgium is already divided. So is Spain. Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark (where even the Government has now clearly had enough of muslims), Germany, the UK, and, of course Sweden, where. finally, it’s now officially admitted that they ‘made a mistake’. This event, following the recent Charlie Hebdo stabbings, is showing signs of reverberating around Europe in a big way, and the problem will now be keeping a lid on the backlash.

        Finn, it means that Muslims can murder any Infidel who has not submitted to Islam and living under dhimmitude.

        That means that Muslims can murder us with impunity.

        “Indemnity” refers to the retaliation that the victim’s kin are entitled to, which can be made as a payment of blood money to them (indemnity), or as a retaliation in kind, that is, a matching killing.

    ‘Divide us’?

    In fact, the Leftard-Globalists do want a division between Leftard-Globalists and nationalists. But they don’t want jihadists to create a separate ‘nation within the nation’ of France. This is the ‘division’ that Macron speaks of.

    Macron assumes that Muslims are on his side. They are not. They are temporary political allies of convenience.

    When Islamist parties take charge of the government, they are extremely intolerant of Leftists.

    Tunisia – MP Rached Khiari approves beheading of teacher in France

    MP Rached Khiari openly supported, through a Facebook post the terrorist operation that targeted a teacher in France yesterday.

    The deputy even approved this terrorist act in which a teacher was beheaded for disseminating degrading images for the prophet Mohamed.

    Khiari explained that making fun of Prophet Muhammad is the greatest crime, and whoever dared to perpetrate it takes responsibility whether it is a state, a group or an individual.

    May I ask about Jihad Watch’s use of the word “Muslim migrant”? What counts as a Muslim migrant? Sometimes it’s used here for a synonym for illegal immigrant, others it’s just redundant implication of foreign. If he was born in France, as most of the 6 million Muslims there were, is he still a migrant?

      Paul G., I’m not sure what you are confused about–this is very straightforward. A Muslim migrant is a Muslim who migrated to the country he lives in now. He might be a legal or an illegal immigrant. If he was born in the country, then he is not a migrant.

    Of, come on Macron! We’ve been divided ever since you and the other European leaders allowed them in. They kill individuals and groups every few weeks but you and the other leaders do absolutely nothing. They have ghettos in all countries whether you admit it or not. You are sitting in your Elysee Palace thanking heaven that another murder won’t occur for a few weeks. Maybe the next murder will occur in another European country. If you actually did do something it would mean having to face 5 million immigrants.

      The Elisee Palace is surrounded by a very tall wall, like a fortress, you don’t even see the building, the wall is so tall. The street is full of police guarding it.

      The politicians who want open borders live behind a very tall wall ,guarded by a huge number of police while the people who pay for all their protection, have no protection, can’t complain, are beheaded and killed on the streets of Eurabia.

      Macron shows up and says a lot of empty words and goes back to his safe place until next attack.

      Bring muslims in, you have Islam and sharia.

    Macron says “They” will not divide us.
    BUT why are “they” even here?
    Are we saying that we are gambling the peace of mind of our citizens, just to be ‘kind’. How kind is it that our citizens/children will be harassed on the streets, in the marketplace? How kind is it that our innocent little daughters will be raped? How kind is it for “Them” to spend their lives plotting to overthrow our governments and turn us all into “Their” slaves.
    Read the damn books, the blueprints for world domination – “Their” ‘spiritual life’.
    It’s time to shut it down. We aren’t that naive! Leave “Them” there and let “Them” tear each other apart like the mad dogs “They” have always been.

    “They will not divide us”. What platitudinous bullshit from Macron. islam has divided up the world into Muslims and the hated non-Muslim infidels for 1400 years. Seriously, what nonsense Macron and many other know nothing leaders carry on with. They have their eyes closed and their heads are stuck in the sand as they mouth these meaningless, politically correct terms about how Muslims and non-Muslims can actually get on and be undivided. As if that is ever going to happen. When it comes to Islam’s evil, hate-filled nature, people like Macron inhabit a Pollyanna type of fantasy land. Their naive and stupid attitudes endanger all the non-Muslims in their societies.

    France is a beautiful country no matter who rules it.

    Back in 1982 I worked for a major insurance company in NYC. One of the supervisors told me how much he and his wife enjoyed visiting France for their vacation, also noting: “But the French hate everyone, themselves most of all.”
    Due to the huge number of imported Muslims into France, I now understand what he meant.

    There seems to be a lot of foolish or greedy politicians out there. If Macron is not a fool, follow the money train, that usually leads to the persons pulling his strings.
    Islam will always divide and attempt to take over the countries it invades through migration. Thats why countries have borders.
