If this is true, then France has no business interfering with Muslims enforcing Sharia blasphemy laws, and will likely stop such interference soon enough.
????L’ambassadeur de France en Suède: “La France est un pays musulman”
Selon lui nous avons un héritage/des racines musulmanes. Le plus drôle c’est quand il affirme que ce qui importe c’est d’écouter les musulmans??mais est incapable de répondre à la question “Et que disent-ils?” pic.twitter.com/A2ry3FHDHW— Patrick Edery (@patrick_edery) October 26, 2020
“Étienne de Gonneville, Ambassador of France in Sweden, on Swedish television: ‘France is a Muslim country,'” translated from “Étienne de Gonneville, ambassadeur de France en Suède, à la télévision suédoise: ‘La France est un pays musulman,'” Fdesouche, October 26, 2020 (thanks to Mason):
The French Ambassador to Sweden, Etienne De Gonneville, was interviewed on the public channel SVT in the Agenda program. There, he was asked if there was a risk of conflict between France and the Muslim world following the beheading of Professor Samuel Paty in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on October 16.
“First of all: France is a Muslim country. Islam is the second religion in France. We have between 4 and 8 million Muslims in France ”
“The Muslims we listen to in priority are the French Muslims”
Journalist: And what are they saying?
Jon Sobieski says
You heard the man. France is a muslim country. When was the surrender ceremony?
mortimer says
I am forced to agree with Jon because of the asinine comments of this foolish minister. He should be relieved of his office and someone who understands Islam THOROUGHLY should be appointed in his stead.
mortimer says
France is, in fact, a secular country. It has no established faith.
Lavéritétriomphera says
Etienne de Gonneville is free to say what he “honestly“ thinks, but as far as I know France is a nation of freethinkers including French Jews and so called French “Muslims“.
As an untrusting aside, freethinkers would be myriad in Algeria and Morocco (I heard).
spiro says
There is a so called faith well on its way to being established in France
I’m not preaching surrender just pointing out the obvious
Unless dire action is taken now if it’s not to late
Lavéritétriomphera says
There is a need of a military legislation to address the problem of terrorism and Islamo-fascism as the mayor of Nice said.
mirted says
Laws alone do not determine the dominant religion or religiosity, and enforcement of religious laws. This is apparent by this fool and what is apparently happening. You may think France is secular, but some armed, sword carrying Muslims may want to discuss that with you, preferably on the street, or in the alley.
theresa says
It IS a Catholic country. That is why it’s so corrupt.
Rufolino says
No one in authority in Europe wants to “understand Islam thoroughly” because they know Islam DOES NOT WANT anyone to “understand it thoroughly”.
If Islam is “understood”, its cover for conquest will be blown.
Europe, like this ambassador, is colluding with this coverup.
This pathetic ambassador is defeatist. He is waiting for eventual Islamic conquest later this century almost with indifference.

Christianity is the second religion in many muslim countries. Does that make them Christian countries?
Sack and recall this buffoon.
Naildriver says
To the victor, if not history written, at least it should be agreed, the government and, religion of the country should be established — if not, what is the victory?
I was shocked Bush let the Iraqi and Afghanistan rewrite their constitutions and establish a non-secular Muslim enemy’s. And this even before our troops left. Bush was a moron…but, Obama was a traitor.
It would have been better to have killed the entire Muslim populations that resisted Islam being forced to take a secular place.
Narayan Kumar Venkiteswaran says
He is an idiot

As evidenced by so many Christian churches in Islam? By the number of Christians butchering Muslims in Africa? If the Christian religion is 2nd in many countries, is 2%-20% significant? Are you talking about Sharia dictated Islam?

Christians and other Infidels are persecuted and violently abused in every Muslim country.

That bastard should be fired.
Lavéritétriomphera says
He talk rubbish. France is a secular country of Roman Catholic tradition. Freedom of expression is a fundamental of our constitution.
Wellington says
WTF!
Just when you think it can’t get worse, it does.
What a waste it has been for the modern West to defend and embrace Islam—arguably the most suicidal initiative in the entire history of Western Civilization.
Minus Trump and some Eastern European leaders (N.B., this does not include Putin who has made apology and excuses for Islam almost as much as Pope Francis has), the West now functions is Full Stupid Mode.

The ‘o’ said essentially the same thing about America: he said ‘America is …moslims country’ in an interview while he was the pretending president.
Raymond Ibrahim has some interesting things to say about the situation inf France…regarding the beheading of the teacher, the hero status of the murderer to other moslims, etc. There is a link to the video interview in FPM today.

Rufolino says
Islam hates them and wants them dead. Islam wants nothing to do with Christianity. When the masks are off Islam intends to wipe out Christianity, murder being the most effective weapon. In Europe Christian priests have been murdered at the altar of God, by Moslems.
Michael Copeland says
“Christianity should be destroyed and wiped from the face of the earth.”
— Sheik Farook al-Mohammedi, Exposing Chrislam
somehistory says
Americas…for the most part, it has been proven…was “founded” by those with Christian beliefs and backgrounds. It was once known as a “Christian nation.”
Now, if one says that, that one is immediately blasted as not speaking the truth. Well, maybe it isn’t “known” that way any longer. Many people don’t want America to have been built on Christian values, on the teaching and commands of Jesus Christ. Or to acknowledge that the Constitution says God-given regarding the “rights” and ‘freedoms.” ( “Endowed by our Creator”) Many wish the country to be atheist or humanist.
So, what happens when a country that was formerly known as Christian or “Catholic” as France was, becomes known as a “moslim country,” and this because there are several million moslims building their own country within the country they invaded?
The true Christian knows that each one has to make his/her own choice as to Whom to worship…some decide they don’t need to depend on a Highest Power…and its’ not the Christian’s duty to force people to accept Christ.
mosims, on the other hand, see it as their “right” to force anyone and everyone to worship their fake god and his false prophet…and their unholy book of filth.
Gotta’ wonder how his fellow French citizens…not the moslims among them…feel about this “moslim country” thingy.
Brando says
I have to agree in essence: notice how even the LEFTISTS and SOCIALISTS and COMMUNISTS have as part of their ideology that they are for
HUMAN RIGHTS and the BROTHERHOOD of all, it is all due to Jesus of Nazareth and his emphasis on the GOLDEN RULE/ LAW of RECIPROCITY.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
In countries where Jesus’ influence has been minor or nil you don’t see it much:MUSLIM countries and the CASTE-SYSTEM world of INDIA and
SURPRISINGLY,in countries where CONFUCIANISM and BUDDHISM have been dominant.
James Lincoln says
So the French Ambassador to Sweden, Etienne De Gonneville, tells us all that “France is a muslim country”.
Thank you for the information!
By the way, my vacation plans *never* include muslim countries – I saw too many of them while in the US military…

Utter madness from traitor Etienne De Gonneville. Why is this man allowed to represent France?
JohnTheRevelator says
The only hope for France to avoid Islamification is to vote for strong anti-Islamic leaders like Marine Le Pen. Weaklings like Macron don’t know what they’re up against, this is a real war. Only Marine understands, watch her excellent speech on defending France below:

Kepha says
France lost any hope of greatness when Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes.
Rufolino says
Marvellous speech by le Pen.
J. Worth says
Interesting that most of what she is calling for needs no new legislation. The strict prosecution of laws already in existence would achieve a lot. The idea of sending them back is very attractive but what do you really do with a 15 year old girl born in e.g. Rhiems who is by culture an Islamist but by birth French? Send her where?
Somehow we have to educate them that Islam is to be assessed and rejected, (it’s already happening in about 2% of the Muslim population). A total ban on further immigration without some sort of rigourous oath of allegiance and it could be turned round in 1 generation.
It has to be led by mme Le Pen or someone with equal commitment to the idea or it will stall in the courts as usual.
Michael Copeland says
Oath of allegiance from a taqiyya adherent?
“I sweared, but I did not mean it” – Faisal Shahzad, Times Square would-be bomber.
J. Worth says
You’re probably right but I did say “rigorous”
Swear on the Koran perhaps duuurrrr. We have to find a solution because the choice is the 10th crusade or submission, ( the real meaning of the word Islam btw).
James Lincoln says
JohnTheRevelator,
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. The English subtitles help as my French is a little rusty.
Marine Le Pen speaks the truth about islam – I think that France is now ready for her to lead.
French presidential elections are held every five years, the last one being in 2017. Guess we’ll have to wait until 2022…
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
If France is a Muslim country because Muslims live there, then the United States (and especially New York State) is a Handsome Lakist country.

Andrew says
So according to this wee French soy boy France has become a muslim country because, he explains, islam is the SECOND religion in France, so I guess France must really be a Christian country if that is the largest religion… France is famously a Secular country…
How do morons like this prick get such an important job?.
L Mayor says
As France has a population of between 60 and 65 million people, how does having 4-8 million muslims make it a muslim country? It appears that the minister revealed the long term intentions of France`s ruling class. Time for a new revolution?
Fred van de Bunt says
Do not forget as an ambassador he is a messenger of Macron’s camp.
Macron was during the last French elections the only surviving contender against Le Pen, which is an Islam critique. Macron got all the Muslims behind him, since the imam’s ordered their voting powers (some 10% of the electorate) to go for Macron. So declaring France is secular, at that moment, might have lost him 10% of the voting power, which is very important, looking at the close race with Le Pen before.
Le Pen is also an EU critique, especially for the EU policy of unlimited mass immigration, because according to the EU Europe is a dying continent, in need of loads of new citizens. Europe is nothing more than all scattered little helpless nations around, all with their retarded cultures, and “uncle tom in his cabin” like citizens, that, if given the change, only will start forming fascist armies of Nazi’s.
By the way, I belong to the “uncle Tom’s”, living my lowly live, consciously not aware being a Nazi, racist, xenophobe extreme right wing islamophobe…but anyway, politics is like that nowadays. Not having a frank discussion about the contains, but smearing poo over the other person, while having yourself a trending empty message.
Actually the old political establishment lost against Le Pen. So not even a year before the elections they quickly packed Macron, a clever guy and fresh looking, in a new political party, with the name “The republic on the march”, and the message to “warp” France forward into a Europhile and flexible (no nasty labour unions) technological extreme forward society, were everyone could have an Apple phone, a smart house and an carbon neutral car, and fly around the world in carbon neutral planes, to spread the Message of the new Messiah, the EU.

Another beheading in France. A Muslim screaming Allahu Akbar killed three people with a knife & injured many more inside Notre Dame church in Nice. One lady was beheaded inside the church. How’s that Muslim immigration working out for you France. They shot the Muslim attacker but he is still alive & in hospital

Unfortunately very few people remember the true history of Islam in France, the defining moment of which was the armed Islamic invasion that was defeated by Charles Martel in 732.
OLD GUY says
I guess we all want to see the good in people. Unfortunately not seeing the evil in some people leads to disaster. Islam is that evil to the rest of the world even the moderate muslims that stand by in silence and allows the violence to come out of their communities are allowing it to take place.
It seems strange the millions of moderate followers of Islam are not striking out against the radicals if they truly believe islam to be a Religion of love and peace. It appears the followers of Islam have made up their mind to follow the Quran and the Prophet Muhammads teachings of Jihad violence against the rest of us.
There are no MODERATE followers of ISLM.
Kesselman says
What’s at stake here is obviously a sound and well functioned European country. Islam is a threat ideological, cultural, and political.—The above objections about numbers of Moslems and others are superficial and unnecessary to a proper understanding.—Let alone the mozzie activity with threats, beheadings, and supremacy posture is enough to tilt the boat.

Between four and eight million muslims in France? Apparently the ambassador and the ridiculous government he in fact represents have lost track of over four million muslims – no doubt undocumented, no doubt in France illegally.
tim gallagher says
I am stunned by this clown’s words. In France, the President Macron is saying that France is a secular country, etc, and this man goes completely off on his own tangent and says that France is a Muslim country. This is one of the most bizarre statements I have ever come across. Surely, he has to lose his job. And his statement makes no sense at all. The numbers of Muslims are far too great, but they are a small percentage so how does this clown come to the conclusion that France is a Muslim country. It makes no sense at all.
