The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And here we go again: Macron’s plan to fight ‘Islamist separatism’ amounts essentially to making France more Islamic, with more Arabic in schools and millions of euros in taxpayer money going to the Foundation for Islam in France.
And even for these proposals, which are at best toothless and at worst actively counterproductive, Macron is being denounced for “Islamophobia.” Any stand against jihad violence and Sharia oppression, even if it’s one that has you shooting yourself in the foot, will earn you this label.
“Separatism: relive Emmanuel Macron’s speech,” translated from “Séparatisme: revivez le discours d’Emmanuel Macron,” by Pierre Lepelletier and Pierre Sautreuil, Le Figaro, October 2, 2020 (thanks to Michaela):
Home schooling will be “strictly limited” at the start of the 2021 school year.
At the same time, the Head of State announced compulsory education from the age of 3, as part of the bill against separatism.
His speech was expected. Emmanuel Macron finally spoke on Friday October 2 from Les Mureaux (Yvelines) to discuss the future bill on “Islamist separatism”, which will be presented on December 9 in the Council of Ministers. If some assured that the text would not concern “only Islamism”, the Head of State immediately wanted to make things clear: “What we must tackle is Islamist separatism. This is the heart of the matter ”….
“Our horizon is simple, it is to ensure a republican presence at the bottom of each tower, at the foundation of each initiative”, declared the President of the Republic, announcing “additional investments” “with on the ground of the magistrates, of the clerks, judges, sometimes volunteers who will come to help in local tasks”, but also” police and gendarmes”.
“Where we had retreated, we must come back,” said the head of state. “We must restore meaning collectively by allowing our justice system to find the means to respond quickly, in an appropriate manner, so that everything finds meaning, for the victim as well as for the troublemaker, as for our security forces.”…
Emmanuel Macron wants “to teach more the Arabic language at school or in an extracurricular setting of which we are in charge”. The Head of State wants to put an end to the young people who “will learn it in associations which offer them the worst and manipulate them”. “Arabic, but also many other languages are the very richness of our children, of their families”, he underlined. “We must know, in our Republic, to recognize them, to exalt them, to make them live, in the republican framework in an extraordinarily uninhibited way”, indicated the president….
“We will support with up to 10 million euros initiatives that will be taken by the Foundation for Islam in France in the fields of culture, history and science”, announced the Head of State. “I am thinking in particular of the development of high-level Islamic studies at the university. I have decided that we will create a scientific institute of Islamology. We will create additional posts in higher education to continue the work on research on Muslim civilization, but also on the Mediterranean basin and Africa.”…
OTTER says
You cannot bribe Islam, love it, accommodate it,
Compromise with it, praise it, elevate it or do Anything positive and humane and expect that it will reciprocate.
It can only be fought, destroyed and crushed. It only understands the language of brute force and unrelenting law. What Macron is doing is self delusion and is bound to fail. Wait and watch.

Macron is a leftist useful idiot. He knows nothing about the muslim ideology -islam.
And he shows fear of islam instead of fighting it.
Are there any better candidates to be president in France?
Dawne says
Yes, Le Pen of National Rally. They do reasonably well in some French elections getting up to 25% of the vote. And support for the party has steadily risen in the last 6 years. I’ve always thought that Macron’s “headline” of dealing with Islamist separatism is simply a way to try to defuse the threat of the National Rally party. The MSM run the “headline” in bold letters, but we have to check sites like Jihad Watch to see the small print – i.e. that he will defeat Islamist Separatism by teaching more Arabic and Quran studies. Hopefully the French will see past his lies and dissembling.
Iambob says
Useful infidels (by definition) just don’t ‘get it’ do they?
Joel Hinojosa says
Well yes and no… See here in America we don’t have to fight against our own Muslims because we can be confident in the weight of our nation crushing or containing dumb religions naturally… We have 325m people, we’re already pretty diverse, in urban areas at least, everyone wants to be American and in the end our culture just wins out over mom and pop’s… That’s why Catholics stop going after a generation or so now, super-Mormons and Jews that escape their enclaves are done quickly and again, because of vast size, the ones that stay don’t cause damage… But France doesn’t have that luxury – and if they thought they did, they learned the hard way…
gravenimage says
Joel Hinojosa, your belief that Muslims in America are no threat is unfortunately mistaken. There have been many cases of Jihad terror here, as well as of stealth Jihad.
I’m glad that under Trump Muslim immigration her is down 90%.
Frank Anderson says
I continue to notice that no matter how much detail was taught about Nazism in Hitler’s Germany, nobody dared think about, much less oppose, the evil it included. Here, if teaching islam included any ability to think and criticize, people would see the total evil that is included in every facet of its teaching and practice. Like Nazism, when the teaching totally prevents critical analysis, on pain of concentration camps or death, the teaching is nothing more than indoctrination common with any totalitarian government in the past 100 years. To me, it is delusional to believe after 1400 years islam will implode because people see the truth. What is different now compared to any time in the past 1400 years? Nuclear and biological weapons, among other things.
The idea of teaching Arabic as a way to expose islam to evaluation and criticism is (politely in respect of those reading) nonsense. The language choice has no more reason for hope than teaching Germans Nazism in the German language. Quisling, Chamberlain and Daladier are sleeping well knowing they are no longer the worst appeasers and traitors in European history.

Bonjour Frank,
Marine Le Pen said : “We are being lied to” as far I am concern she is right. The head of the French state should first close the problematic mosques. He is not an absolute monarch and I wish this bill will never get off the ground before he demises radical Muslim network that chalenge the French secularism.
In solidarity and friendship
À bientôt

Kevin, Sophie Scholl never injured anyone. She never fired a weapon. She never made or planted a bomb. But her head was cut off by Nazis for spreading leaflets opposing the regime. How long before this happens again? “Those who cannot remember the lessons of the past are condemned to repeat them.” Jorge Santayana, The Life of Reason (1905). Liberty Shall Triumph!
LB says
“Problematic mosques”….. That’s like saying “wet water”; there is no need for an adjective to describe the noun is abundantly clear in its meaning. ALL MOSQUES are concentration nodes in the islamic web that envelops its unsuspecting non-muslim host nation. The more mosques there are, the stronger the muslim web/network becomes and the faster the non-muslims get ensnared. That is hijirah 101, you should learn about it before it’s too late.
James Lincoln says
LB,
You are correct, no adjective is needed to describe a mosque – although some are worse than others.
Likewise, no adjective is needed to describe islam…

Salutation
In fact, the mosques known as salafist are in the focus of the government https://www.leparisien.fr/seine-et-marne-77/torcy-les-confidences-des-infiltres-de-la-dgsi-dans-l-ex-mosquee-salafiste-05-06-2019-8086821.php. On a positive note Macron accepts that there is a problem with “radical“ Islam. In my view that is a significant step forward recognizing that Islam is not really a ideology of peace and tolerance.
Cordialement
@Bonsoir Frank
Macron believe (in his own words) in a “transcendence” as like many of us. I understand that he certainly believes the spiritual laws are as natural as possible and that religions are man-made.
Islam is a sect like many “religions”, and it governs a part of the population. We (the opposition), while respecting the presidential function, are mindful that in France we have legal weapons to fight sectarian aberrations.
I agree with you Truth/Liberty shall triumph

Confirms what i said a few days ago regarding his weapon to fight islam, which is a Wet lettuce.
DavidR says
Instead of shying away from conflict with Muslims the non Muslim world should be encouraging it. They already are in conflict with you by virtue of being Muslim. Criticism of Islam doesn’t hurt the feelings of Muslims despite their claims. It makes them self righteous, angry and even vengeful. The current political climate just makes it all worse.
Ole Pederson says
The French elected this impostor of a president for the sole reason to avoid the presidency of Marine Le Pen. The mass media portrayed her as “right wing extremist”.
In simple words, her agenda is just “France first” (ring a bell, somewhere?)
Wasted years!!
If there is not a total change of direction in policy, Fance is lost and will be like northern Africa. No culture, no equal rights, or for that matter, no rights at all for non-muslims. Except to convert, of course.
James Lincoln says
Ole Pederson,
An excellent and accurate post, my compliments.
nicholas tesdorf says
It’s almost as if Macron wants to finance more Islamic Separatism and Islamic Suprematism. Macron still does notunderstand the nature of the evil that confronts him and France.
Check Burry says
Correct Nicholas.
Frank Anderson says
I have trouble believing with the experience in France and elsewhere, currently and for 1400 years, which is totally consistent during all that time worldwide, anyone should be able to pretend to be ignorant of the teachings and practice of islam. What about the 250 to 1000 million people dead at muslim hands? What about the billions (milliard) enslaved and abused? It’s not like this is a secret. “Deliberate ignorance constitutes knowledge of the truth.” Wyle v. R.J.Reynolds. Macron KNOWS and does not give a “tinker’s damn” what he and his globalists are doing to the world. The betrayal of France by the current administration is more profound than any in WWII in any country.
Lavéritétriomphera says
Bonjour Frank
Nobody within France, Europe and abroad should pretend to be ignorant of the teachings and practice of islam starting with those who are leading us. That is supported by the fact that France and Europe experienced wars of religion. We should never forget this sad fact. Plus jamais cela!
Peace upon you, USA and the world
Bon courage à tous

Another worthless deluded, preening geek in charge of a European country.
Some of them make vague noises about supposedly stopping the insanity that is leading to our destruction. If they knew the true extent of the madness they’d be too busy doing something about it rather than paying false, pitiful lip service.

just cheap tactics to keep people quiet.
A booming condemnation, followed and accompanied by evident funding of massive size.
They think we’re idiots. Obviously, we are.

Macron it won’t work. You are just empowering islam and wasting another 11 million dollars. The answer you are working towards is the total domination of islam over your country, that’s the only thing these people want.
Linde Barrera says
I am so very disappointed to learn that President Macron is going to enact these measures. It seems that many, not all, European people have become brainwashed into a certain “bottleneck” way of thinking.
How can these proposals make the average French person of any ethnic background
think that they will be safe from Islamic terrorism? And how will these measures
make Muslims feel more “French”?
Furthermore, most, if not all Muslims resettle
to Western countries from their native
Muslim-majority countries to try to convert people to Islam. They do not become immigrants to France, the US, or any other
non-Muslim country because they want a “better life”. Since they believe as Muslims
they are “the best of peoples“ already, (that
is doctrinal to the Quran) they can have a “better life” anywhere as long as they cleave
to Allah.
In my opinion, Muslims are brainwashed too, and Allah is Satan the devil. 😈
Check Burry says

Giacomo Latta says
Well, so much for Macron’s plan to own Islam. Go hang around the offices of Charlie Hebdo, Macron, and you’ll soon see who owns who.
