Ever since the beheading of French teacher Samuel Paty for showing Muhammad cartoons, France has ignored “angry protests in Muslim countries and from commentators….who have accused the French authorities of intolerance” over its crackdown on jihad-preaching mosques.
The French Interior Ministry has given warning that any mosque “found to be ‘breeding grounds of terrorism’ will be shut.” So far, 76 mosques that the government suspects of “separatism” and “encouraging extremism” are under investigation.
The latest mosque under surveillance is deemed to be “a radical mosque in the commune of Lunel near the city of Montpellier.” It is now “the focus of an investigation by the French Interior Ministry, having already been placed under surveillance in December.”
France is not picking on Muslims or exhibiting “Islamophobia.” It is protecting its citizens from stealth and violent jihad, which it has a duty to do.
“Radical Mosque Under Investigation by French Interior Minister,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, January 20, 2021:
A radical mosque in the commune of Lunel near the city of Montpellier is the focus of an investigation by the French Interior Ministry, having already been placed under surveillance in December.
The el Baraka mosque was under scrutiny five years ago after 20 local jihadists left France to join Islamic State in Syria and is again under investigation by Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin.
According to a report by Metropolitain, Darmamin’s office launched a large-scale operation to “eradicate Islamist separatism” which has included the seizure of documents for a tax audit and a separate judicial procedure against the el Baraka mosque.
Part of the investigation revolves around the expansion of the place of worship, which was proposed initially in 2019 when the imam and the mosque’s managers requested a building permit to extend it.
El Baraka is one of 76 mosques the French government placed under surveillance since December. However, it was not one of the nine mosques that the government closed last Friday. Some were shuttered because they violated safety standards, and others had been built illegally.
The move comes after French President Emmanuel Macron promised to crack down on radical Islamist ideologies following the murder of French teacher Samuel Paty in October.
A Chechen teen refugee killed and beheaded Mr Paty in the street after the teacher had shown cartoons of the Islamic prophet Mohammed to his class during a lesson on free speech. At least one mosque helped amplify a social media campaign against Paty before his death.
Since the murder, Macron and his government have shut down several associations linked to radical Islamist ideologies including the NGO Barakacity.
Following the group’s closure, its founder and former head Idriss Sihamedi took to social media to request asylum from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
“I would like to request political asylum for myself and my team since I am not safe in France on behalf of our NGO,” he said.…

That’s all fine but those are only symptoms of the fundamental problem, which is the enormous and continuous influx of millions of Muslims into Europe. One day they will not be able to handle it anylonger unless the military takes over. That is not even going to hinder the gradual implementation of Sharia and mistreatment of infidels. Would any of us like to live like in Morocco, Egypt, Syria or places like that? So what do you expect in the future then? Islam is Islam, doesn’t matter if it’s the Middle East or Europe.
Mount Zion says
You are completely right , curing the symptoms of people who came in with a genetic infectuous desease isn’t going to solve the problem in the long run . The only thing that makes sense would be preventing completely people with this desease (Islam) to come to the west.
And by the way , if the day comes that they will not be able to handle it any longer , than it’s most likely that muslims will already have made their ways into the highest ranking political offices , governmental positions and the military .
mortimer says
France’s over 5 million Muslims produce constant work for the police. The 164 jihad verses are only dangerous when Muslims read them, believe them and find a group of other Muslims who want to put them into effect.
Islam is a project to change all societies into Islamic societies.
James Lincoln says
Mountain Zion,
I like your medical analogy.
It’s like trying to treat the symptoms of, say, metabolic syndrome when the patient refuses to make any lifestyle changes that could effectively treat the underlying cause of the disease.
In this case, the cause of the disease is, of course, islam…
Mount Zion says
It’s laughable that Idriss Sihamedi feels not safe in France . France is cracking down on islamist movements for good reasons however there is no reason to feel unsafe when it comes to wrongful inprisonment or having to fear for your life in France. It’s quite the opposite , in muslim countries as a non muslim you have good reasons to feel unsafe and to fear for your life with their blasphemy laws that are to often implemented on non muslims only to take over their businesses and properties. And also, when Pathy was decapitated and shortly afterwards a catholic woman on the way to the morning prayer , have you ever hear of french people engaging in retaliatory measures , have you seen any moslems beeing hurt or beaten or killed ? No , because french people like most western countries rely on the rule of law and that’s Macron’s job , to make sure that his people are protected .
Daniel Triplett says
A cursory examination of the identical Islamic Doctrine (Koran & Sunnah) every mosque preaches/enforces quickly proves ALL mosques are “radical.” Some are just better at hiding it with taqiyya when Infidels are listening in.
James Lincoln says
100% correct, Daniel.
So what happens when the French Interior Ministry makes this discovery?
Daniel Triplett says
I think much will depend on the leadership. Most Leftists are know-it-alls. Their arrogance and cognitive dissonance makes it nearly impossible to learn and accept anything new. Seems to me Macron fits this category, and virtually every US Democrat. Leftists are likely to either ignore the truth, even when confronted with it, or they’ll assume they can reason with the Ummah and find a peaceful progressive solution to make them happily assimilate as Frenchmen, notwithstanding that hasn’t been done in 1400 years.
On the other hand, if someone like Marine Le Pen or her niece Marion Merechal (Le Pen) assume power, they’ll approach the situation with eyes much clearer. If you watch videos of them speak, they are far more honest and frank about Islam than any American politician has been since Jefferson and Adams. France has a higher per capita Muslim population than any European state (8.8%). In comparison, the US is just 1%. So, they are much further down the road of desperate circumstance and perspective.
I’d hope that a Le Pen type of leader would first establish free speech and abolish the censorship and self-defeating “hate” speech laws, so the whole country can speak honestly about the problem. Then, order a comprehensive objective assessment of Islam’s motive, methods, and mission (Muslims not allowed on investigation team), then be honest with the People about the threat and the global war, and make policy to win the war.
James Lincoln says
Thank you for your reply, Daniel.
You outline a very thoughtful and pragmatic approach….

True, Daniel.
And good to see you posting again.
Jayell says
77 Mosques currently under surveillance? If I recall correctly, that makes up to 200 (or more) coming under attention or closed down in France in the last four or five years?
mortimer says
Cannot a mosque be ‘radical’? That is, can a mosque emphasize the ‘fundamentals’ of Islam’s primary source texts? Yes, but most mosques just emphasize regular prayer services and leave the jihad to groups of jihadists who hang out at the mosque. Some mosques shoo them away and some mosques wink at them and yet other mosques have mullahs who actively encourage jihad while pretending not to.

Tony Naim says
Completement debile !!
ils sont foux ces Francais!
The stupidity of the French government resides in the policy of placing the mosques under surveillance while appeasing the ideology itself!?
The perceived evil manifestations of political Islam is in the ideology! The civic and political laws of Islamic sharia!
Lavéritétriomphera says
@Tony Naim,
Complètement débile !!
Ils sont fous ces français !
La France est un pays laïc, le gouvernement ne se préoccupe des discours religieux que si ils enfreignent la loi du pays. Ce qui est le cas de l’islam politique qui prône la charia.
À titre d’exemple, les leaders musulmans ont le devoir de reconnaître, entre autres, l’égalité homme/femme, la liberté d’expression, le droit de changer de religion …
Tony Naim says
La solution du probleme de L’islam politique ne peut etre accompli par la fremeture des mosques, mais par abolir l’ideologie islamiste politique Elle-meme.
VIVE La ?? France
Lavéritétriomphera says
@Tony Naim,
Salutation
Le but recherché est effectivement l’abolition de l’islam politique car la religion doit rester dans la sphère privée en France.
Quiconque enfreint la loi pour des raisons personnelles (religieuses ou autres) est susceptible d’être poursuivi et sanctionné.
Bien à vous

They STILL don’t get it. All of Islam is RADICAL! It’s the most enduring Fascistic ideology in existence. Just because it gives itself a tagline of “God’s or Allah’s words/wishes”, it gets special treatment & deference. Their BS is being swallowed hook, line & sinker. What gets me is that all the politicians & others, with all their fancy education & ability are in denial & suck up to the Muslim degeneracy & dystopia.
Walter Sieruk says
The governmental authorities of the nation of France have action wisely by having those mosques put under surveillance for possible plained Muslim terrorists attacks against the French people .
For the basic goal of all good ,genuine, governments is , or should be, to ensure the protection security and safety of that countries citizens
This law enforcement and security observation is appropriate important and necessary because the history of the Mosque and well into those current modern times is because the mosques are places or center strategic jihadist scheming for violent and murderous jihad attacks.
The knowledge the mosque being the center stage of such active jihadist mass murder Muslim terrorist attacks has been long proven and long known by many scholar of Islam. For example the former Muslim Mark A. Gabriel PHD who had revealed this in his book entitled ISLAM AND TERRORISM .
As for past jihadist /Muslim mass murder jihad terror attacks as those that have occured the citiy of Paris France in this very century. in which those vicious and murderous Muslim terrorist committed such heinous masscures in the jihad for Islam.
Those deadly jihadist had been inspired and motivated into committing those mass murderous evil because of the Bizarre strange and weird doctrine from the Qu ‘ran of a sex -filled paradise filled with many virgins for the use only by the Muslim who dies fighting in the jihad for the cause of Islam.
That reflects what the French philosopher ,Voltaire had written when he wrote “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Closing down mosques is like playing whack a mole. Knock one down and two pop up.
Muslims are just biding their time until their voting block becomes too large in numbers to ignore.
They will then flip the script and the Muslim migrants will become the masters.

France: ‘Radical mosque’ placed under surveillance, along with 76 others since December
………….,……….
Well, this is good. The problem is that all Mosques are “radical”, though–they all preach Islam. Some are worse than others, but they do not differ in kind.
Lavéritétriomphera says
The offense must be discovered under any circumstances. The offenders must be referred to judiciary authorities for punishment. France is not yet under martial law.
