French authorities, meanwhile, continue to refuse to confront the fact that mainstream Islam has a death penalty for blasphemy, and thus this kind of behavior is not the province solely of “extremists.”
“Le Bouscat: new death threats inscribed on the facades of two schools,” translated from “Le Bouscat : de nouvelles menaces de mort inscrites sur les façades de deux collèges,” by Audrey Dumain, France Bleu, November 16, 2020:
Concern is growing in two schools in the town of Bouscat, near Bordeaux. The Sainte-Anne school was again the target of death threats. The same inscription discovered last week reappeared this Sunday on its facade: “You are all dead”.
Less than 500 meters from this establishment, another school, the Jean Moulin school, was also targeted by threats on Monday, according to prosecutors. Inscriptions referred to the assassination of Samuel Paty: “You are all dead, you are all dead. Samuel Paty. Allah Akbar”.
Prosecutors indicate that a new investigation has been opened for the tags concerning the Jean Moulin school. An investigation for “support for terrorism” and “death threats” is entrusted to the departmental security.
Investigations are also continuing after the new threats in Sainte-Anne. So far, no one has been arrested.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yet the name of Samuel Paty lives on.
mortimer says
The name of Samuel Paty is a symbol for Muslims of what they hate the most: the dirty kufaar.
Muslims hate us because Allah hates us for existing.

Brando says
I have debated a few Leftists a bit about Islam, pointing out it is ANTI-HUMAN RIGHTS,they answer Christianity is the Same,or if I mention the JUDEO-CHRISTIAN (Jesus of Nazareth) heritage of the WEST they say:
NO,it is false: the West has Human Rights Because of the ENLIGHTENMENT.
PALMFACE MOMENT!
1.Some say the Age of Enlightenment is from around 1650 to 1789,Others say it is ONLY in the 18th century(till 1789).
2.The FATHER of the Enlightenment/ Liberalism/Libertarianism, was a CHRISTIAN: JOHN LOCKE (1632-1704)
3.ALL the MAJOR Ideas of the Enlightenment are from him,they are:
A. SEPARATION of CHURCH and STATE
B.FREEDOM of SPEECH and FREEDOM of CONSCIENCE
C. NATURAL and INALIENABLE RIGHTS: right to LIFE, to LIBERTY, to PROPERTY.
D. RELIGIOUS TOLERATION: except that Locke was Against Toleration for CATHOLICS and ATHEISTS.
E. SEPARATION of POWERS: independence of the EXECUTIVE and LEGISLATIVE powers.
MONTESQUIEU (1689-1755) in “The Spirit of the Laws” (1748) only made a modification:LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE and JUDICIAL powers were SEPARATE.
F. CONDEMNATION of SLAVERY
G. A CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT
ALMOST ALL the later thinkers of the Enlightenment Did Nothing Else than REPEAT the IDEAS of LOCKE ( with the exceptions of KANT and ADAM SMITH ):
Rousseau, Voltaire, and Montesquieu,
Condorcet,and Benjamin Franklin,and Hume
and Diderot and Thomas Paine and Jefferson.
Again,it was a CHRISTIAN who formulated it all.
THE ENLIGHTENMENT and JEFFERSON (non-Christian ) and LOCKE
ALL experts agree the Greatest Influence on the Ideas of Jefferson and other American Intellectuals at the FOUNDATION of the US was Locke.
Jefferson HIMSELF tells us he got his ideas from Locke.
1.Jefferson wrote the DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE (1776 ) which uses Locke’s ideas,it says:
“We hold these TRUTHS to be SELF-EVIDENT, that ALL MEN are CREATED EQUAL , that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain UNALIENABLE RIGHTS,
that among these are LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS.”
(Jefferson uses the EXACT words of Locke,except changing the word PROPERTY to Pursuit of Happiness).
JEFFERSON HAD EVEN CONDEMNED SLAVERY AND THE SLAVE TRADE
In the ORIGINAL version of the Declaration of Independence Jefferson had done it,it was later Eliminated.
In 1776: the 13 colonies had 1.5 MILLION people,of which 20% ( 300,000) were SLAVES.
ANOTHER PALMFACE MOMENT!
No doubt LEFTISTS will say Locke was PRETENDING to be Christian,but he had,Almost Totally, a PRECURSOR ( 1 GENERATION before Locke)
ROGER WILLIANS (1603-1683)( who Not Even They will Dare to say was Pretending )
Baptist theologian Roger Williams founded the colony of Rhode Island in 1636,which had:
1.A DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTION
2.Who was AGAINST SLAVERY
He organized the FIRST attempt to Prohibit Slavery in Any of England’s North American colonies.
3.Guaranteed FREEDOM of CONSCIENCE ( the words are His Own)
4.The constitution had Unlimited Religious FreedomHe went FURTHER than Locke( who was Against Toleration for Catholics and Atheists).
Williams was for toleration of the various Christian denominations, including Catholics,
and also “paganish, Jewish, Turkish or anti-Christian consciences and worships.” (that is Freedom of Speech )
5.For SEPARATION of CHURCH and STATE
It is in his book: “The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience” (1644), which was Widely Read.
LOCKE AND HIS CHANGE OF OPINION
Regarding: SLAVERY
1.There is DEBATE about this: some say he Wrote It,others say he was Just Copying something he had to copy(Locke had a job as a SECRETARY ).
A. In 1669 was written the CONSTITUTION of CAROLINA ( colony)
B. It has many admirable laws BUT it Authorizes SLAVERY,in fact says the owner has ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY over the slave,since he is his PROPERTY.
C. It also says ,in effect,EVEN if the slave is a CHRISTIAN the Owner still has Absolute Authority over the slave,since he is his Property.
D.At the time Locke was an INVESTOR (some say MAJOR investor) in the Royal Africa Company, which was in the slave trade,bringing slaves from Africa.
E. But 20 YEARS later (1689 ),in his “Two Treatises of Government”,Locke Condemns Slavery.
It goes Against one of the 3 Natural/Unalienable Rights: that of LIBERTY.
Regarding: TOLERANCE for CATHOLICSIn a 1689 book Locke was AGAINST it, No Legal Permission for Catholics to worship,but in 2019 they discovered a Previously Unknown Manuscript, dated to 1667-8, titled “Reason for tolerating Papists equally with others”.
THE BOOKS THAT BEGAN THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT
They are all from the SAME year,1689,and are:
1.”Letter concerning Tolerance”
Locke EXPLICITLY states his Inspiration:the Gospel of Jesus advocates toleration to those who differ in religion and opinions.
2.”Essay Concerning Human Understanding”
He says we are born TABULA RASA, (clean slate),but today we know,due to GENETICAL facts, Biochemistry,it is FALSE.
3.”Two Treatises of Government”
Where he states all Major Ideas of the Enlightenment
A FAKE CHRISTIAN?
1.He wrote “The Reasonableness of Christianity,as Delivered in the Scriptures”(1689)
2.After his DEATH they published his “A paraphrase and notes on the Epistles of St. Paul to the Galatians, I & II Corinthians, Romans, and Ephesians :
to which is prefixed an essay for the understanding of St. Paul’s Epistles, by consulting St. Paul himself.” (1707)
revereridesagain says
Jesus of Nazareth never existed.
But you desperately WANT “Him” to have existed.
Because you believe “He” will save you from death.
As a result of which you trash the Enlightenment and call on us to what — the “Sermon on the Mount” — instead?
And I keep trying to convince myself that no, Christians wouldn’t burn you at the stake if only they could go back to the Good Old Days before that “satanic” Enlightenment…
mortimer says
Brando and revere, please stick to the topic of the Islamic blasphemy law.
“I will cut the tongue and eyes of those who want to amend the blasphemy law.” – Amir Mushtaq Khan, Jamaat-e-Islami Leader, Pakistan
The attitude of Amir Mushtaq Khan is a common one.
Brando says
Good idea
Brando says
I am an Agnostic:
1.The Enlightenment ends in 1789,the year LAFAYETTE wrote The Declaration of the Rights of Man( Human Rights ) ,which simply REPEATS the ideas of LOCKE ( who wrote 100 years earlier ) but in a CONDENSED way.
2.And Lafayette was a Sincere CATHOLIC,plus he was Against SLAVERY.
And for a CONSTITUTIONAL government in France.
3.The GUIDING / CENTRAL Principle or Idea of Human Rights is the LAW of RECIPROCITY / Golden Rule.
4.And the Golden Rule in the NT is called the LAW by: Jesus, Paul and James ( half-brother of Jesus), all of them Jews.
What did they mean?They meant it is the Central Ethical Concept of what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
5.Plus PAUL said the LAW can be arrived at Independently,in ROMANS 2:14-16, the way he states the Golden Rule also has given it the titles of:
NATURAL law and LAW of the HEART
Lavéritétriomphera says
@Brando,
Philosophers of the Enlightenment, inspired among others by Greek authors, questioned the Bible and the absolutism of royal power https://www.crf-usa.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-20-2-c-hobbes-locke-montesquieu-and-rousseau-on-government.html.
The royal absolutism supported, wrongly or rightly, by the Catholic Church was a totalitarian system regarded as unfair and obsolete by
many who especially wanted the abolition of the feudal privileges of the nobility.
However this questioning on human rights was not new https://www.humanrights.com/course/lesson/background-of-human-rights/the-background-of-human-rights.html.

“Jesus of Nazareth never existed” (?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus.
Brando says
Thanks for the link on the history of human rights, it has information I didn’t know, and very true, then the Catholic Church in France was totalitarian.
That is why there is the Other Heritage: GRECO-ROMAN, where the Political Entity called DEMOCRACY comes from.

Robert Spencer has identified the problem with the West vis-à-vis Islam:
“French authorities, meanwhile, continue to refuse to confront the fact that mainstream Islam has a death penalty for blasphemy, and thus this kind of behavior is not the province solely of “extremists.”
Even worse, any private Muslims has permission to carry out the blasphemy penalty according to Sharia law.

Deportation en masse tout suite. European leaders quit pussyfooting around and take a stand for God’s sakes. How much more can the people take. They are held hostages by their constant barrage of threats. Please go on the offense with a good defense. Revoke citizenship to all Muslims period.

Agreed. First step, though, is to just “shut the barn door” against even more Muslim immigration.

I know you meant this tongue-in-cheek, but kebabs actually much predate Islam–so Muslims cannot even claim this.
Carol says
So does Falafel!
gravenimage says
True, Carol. A few years ago an Israeli journalist set out to find the origin of Falafel, and found that it is a very old Coptic Christian dish originally intended for meatless Fridays.
So even the Muslim claims about foods are frequently false.

Muslims regard themselves as Third-World Aryans. Übermenschen (upper human beings) who are entitled to a Lebensraum (living space); not only in Europe, but worldwide. Superiority was given to them by their eternal Führer god Allah (Hitler compatible), and their divine Mein Kampf; the Quran. The use of Nazi idioms emphasizes that Islam is Nazism compatible. They are in our time as dangerous and lethal to others, as the Nazis were 75 years ago. Though, despite the very bad experience Europe had with the Nazi’s, it seems the victims had learned nothing at all. The terrible experiences The Netherlands had, https://www.google.com/search?q=oorlogsmonument+Parallelweg+Den+Haag&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwigu4-3uJPtAhVEr6QKHWnYBp0Q2-cCegQIABAA&oq= where 12 innocent people were executed near The Hague railway station on 31 March 1945 (not the only mass execution in the city), and the mass execution in the French Oradour sur Glane https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/oradour-sur-glane What the Nazi’s had done during WWII, Muslims are doing now in many Third World countries. Think of massacres in African countries, and ISIS atrocities in Syria and Iraq. The difference between WWII France, and France of 2020 is: France was occupied by force, and now is France a so called free and sovereign country. Though, there is not much difference between the WWII Field Marshall who betrayed his own folk, and the bellboy of Wall Street bankers who is bearing the title “Monsieur le President” now. The difference is between the way people had handled oppression. In WWII the Maquis and other underground organizations had fought for freedom and liberation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqXsgujDjOY Where is the resistance of the French now? Even a soft one?
livepeanuts says
Islam has been found to be incompatible with Western values in European Courts, Islam is not just a cult but a political state within a state, obeying an infernal body of legislation from the VI century. It behaves very similar to a virus in biology which not being a full blown state aims to take over the one it infects. It uses elements of our social contract against us like minority rights and democracy to impose tyranny in the fullness of time, this tyranny will have no minority rights and no other law.
There was another aspect to Islam, which were the conquering armies of the Calif and to go by what we have just seen in Syria and Iran such a state would be the enemy of all states and incompatible with the existence of any state with a different law, this doctrine is very sympathetic to what may be a political religion of Marxism. Both tyranny generating doctrines can walk together a long way in the practice of their ideology and this must not be ignored (Black Lives Marxists). A long time ago, when the Islam of the Calif, it was a very different system evolving in an advanced society way, and had the most advanced scientists but I won’t go in to this because that is not the way in which Islam has evolved ,it has stifled science and knowledge in the Islam of today there isn’t a Calif buying foreign books to increase knowledge, there is an Islamic State burning them.
What is so perplexing today with Holland, France and European nations is that a system which gives us PUBLICATIONS of so much aggression and insulting descriptions of those of us who reject it, Islam has no problems publishing all these evil things about us, and now should have the ignorant arrogance of “being offended” if all we reply to these politics of hate, is with some innocent, accurate political cartoons against the politician who said such bad political things about us and all what he proposes should be done with us and how we should be treated! We must not only stand with France, we must stand proactively with France if necessary we should all print the cartoons on to our currency!
After all, whose law should be observed and be sovereign in France?
Who has freedom to speak and publish in France? Only the Moslems?
Even though we reject these terrible ideas of Islam we allowed these heavily indoctrinated people to share in our society only to be told that we must come to heel and respect he who said these terrible things or else!
One solution: Japan doesn’t have jihady murderers because it protected its people from that threat, we should learn from Japan if we want freedom to prevail we may have to sacrifice a bit of it and ban tyranny
OLD GUY says
Hey throw open your arms and welcome these wonderful islamic men to France. Hope you have figured it out that maybe allowing open borders to islam was not a good idea.
Borders that control who you allow into your country are a good idea. Someone needs to convince Biden of that fact or we here in America will see these same problems. Islam and democracy don’t mix.
