Muslims in France reportedly “fear that anti-Islamic rhetoric has now been normalised in France by far-right candidates such as Eric Zemmour and Marine Le Pen of the National Rally, with some Muslims saying they now live under ‘permanent suspicion.'” This is what they call anti-Islam:
“Eric Zemmour told France Inter Radio: ‘French people who are Muslims must live in the French way and not consider that sharia law is superior to the laws of the republic.'”
He’s absolutely correct.
Discrimination against anyone’s creed or race should not be tolerated. However, it is a habit for far too many Muslims to scream discrimination (“Islamophobia”) whenever the abusive aspects to their religion are questioned or even just noted, but they remain silent while some of their coreligionists terrorize Western societies.
[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, “I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.” (Quran 8:12)
Meanwhile, the trial has begun for four jihadists who beheaded a French priest, 85-year-old Father Jacques Hamel, in his own church, and left a nun fighting for her life. The main attacker actually worked at a French airport as a baggage handler three months prior “and got through police checks ‘easily’ to secure the job.” The men filmed themselves while screaming Allahu akbar.
A Muslim also beheaded French teacher Samuel Paty in the street because he showed Muhammed cartoons to his class. The response from the Muslim world was outrage, not over the beheading, but because Paty insulted Islam.
France has also experienced the Charlie Hebdo massacre and other significant problems with national security, as well as violent Islamic antisemitism and other issues correlated to unvetted mass Muslim migration.
Rather than collectively condemn and renounce all aspects of the Sharia that do not align with Western values, beginning with attacks on the freedom of speech and including the full coverings for women which are intended to keep women as inferiors (Quran 24:31, 33:59), all too many Muslims successfully manipulate the woke media into presenting Muslims as perpetual victims, while ignoring the true victims of Islamic supremacist abuse. France has been shaken to the core by the most gruesome attacks and threats to civil society for offending Islam, all while the MailOnline article below highlights the so-called plight of Muslims. Muslims in France and elsewhere in the West need to collectively step up and renounce human rights abuses that are sanctioned by the Sharia. See HERE for what France has endured.
Issues such as responsible immigration policy, national security, the rule of law and the preservation of French culture should be top priority in the elections, which begin on April 10. If none of the candidates win a majority of the vote in the first round, a runoff is scheduled between the top two candidates on April 24.
Western society, and especially Western leaders, need to stop being intimidated by mainstream Muslim lobbies that are actively trying to subjugate the West by systematically attacking its cornerstone: the freedom of expression. They wield the “Islamophobia” victimhood club in order to do this. Let’s hope a sensible and responsible French leader emerges from the upcoming election.
“‘France spits on my family’: French Muslims’ fury as politicians focus on Islam, with one town described as ‘Afghanistan two hours from Paris’… after reporter writing about Sharia was forced to go into hiding,” by Rachael Bunyan, MailOnline, February 9, 2022:
French Muslims have spoken of their fury as politicians have focused on Islam during the presidential election campaign, with one far-right candidate describing a town as ‘Afghanistan two hours from Paris’.
They fear that anti-Islamic rhetoric has now been normalised in France by far-right candidates such as Eric Zemmour and Marine Le Pen of the National Rally, with some Muslims saying they now live under ‘permanent suspicion’.
‘I have the impression that today’s France spits on my parents, who fought to liberate it, on my parents who come to build its roads, and on me, who has respected all of the rules of democracy and integration,’ said Khadija, 38, a social worker in the Loiret region in central France.
The anger at anti-Muslim rhetoric in France comes after Zemmour caused a fresh outcry on Monday by describing the town of Roubaix in northern France as ‘Afghanistan two hours from Paris’.
Zemmour, who has twice been convicted of hate crimes for statements about Islam, told France Inter Radio: ‘French people who are Muslims must live in the French way and not consider that sharia law is superior to the laws of the republic.’
He made the comments after a French journalist who fronted a documentary about the rise of radical Islam in Roubaix was given police protection after receiving death threats over her investigation.
Ophélie Meunier, 34, revealed Sharia-compliant faceless children’s toys being on sale in the town, as well as restaurant booths to ‘shield’ women from the male gaze.
For Muslims, who make up almost nine per cent of the country’s mainland population, they have been made uneasy over the bursts of rhetoric against them during the presidential election campaign.
‘Sometimes I tell myself that no one can understand quite how violent this is,’ said Fatma Bouvet de la Maisonneuve, a psychiatrist of Tunisian origin and author of the book ‘An Arab Woman in France’.
Acknowledging that people can be tempted to turn in upon themselves, she said: ‘Frankly, sometimes we just want to meet among Arabs to tell each other how bad things are,’ she said….
‘I feel bad, very bad,’ said Khadija, who asked that her second name be withheld.
‘A few days ago, my five-year-old daughter told me that she did not like being Arab,’ she said, complaining of ‘living under permanent suspicion, no longer knowing what’s behind the baker’s smile, or what people really think’….
Frank Anderson says
“The Pot calling the Kettle Black!” How should non-muslims feel when they hear what muslims say about them, and then do to them. Should we just sit and let them plan and execute our murder and conquest? There is no duty to surrender to tyrants.
mortimer says
‘ISLAMOPHOBIA’ is a universal solvent that melts all and any freedom of expression about Islam.
Sharia law forbids non-Muslim kafirs to speak about Islam, whether truly or falsely, whether approvingly or disapprovingly.
Any hint that Islam is in error or inadequate or lacking or harmful, is ‘ISLAMOPHOBIC’ since it lessens the ‘HONOR’ or ‘PRESTIGE’ or ‘IMAGE’ of Islam.
Wording in Sharia is important. There is no reference to ‘blasphemy’ or ‘slander’. Thus, ANY comment on Islam has the potential to be ‘Islamophobic’, It depends on whether a mullah wants to declare a comment as ‘Islamophobic’.
“The (DHIMMI) agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulated that any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if the state has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject people:
-5- mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.” – Reliance of the Traveller’ Chapter ‘O’ 11.10.05.

Bonjour Frank et gravenimage,
And if we don’t believe in the bullshit of the ones who are convinced they know God’s will, we get some kind of threats as, among others, descent into chaos, eternal damnation and so on.
The assurance of knowing God’s will and the “ divin Truth” is an open window towards reinstating blasphemy law and the creation of a theocracy with all the other stuff that comes with it.
I am thinking in particular of the divine right of leaders to rule. I believe this kind of political system is the royal road leading directly to despotism.
Long live to USA

what happened in yougoslavia by the muslim turkalbanians in 1999 they will take over parts of the cities and massacre the unarmed population untill the army arrives…. then the whole of islam will retaliate and claim there is a genocide of the muslims by the army in europe…. with a satanic government in the usa largely involved supporting islam…..
tim gallagher says
What you outline there, born saturday, is probably going to have to happen in France some day isn’t it. When you have let Muslims into any country to the extent that you have 8% Muslims, as in France, then you are in for plenty of trouble when you finally get fed up with all the evils Muslims bring with them wherever they go.

It’s always “poor me.” What about the “poor little girls” being raped by adult mozlum males who see it as their “right”?
What about the “poor” infidel women and children targeted for rape by mozlums…because they are seen as fair game for not bowing to islam’s demands?
What about school teachers, such as Mr. Paty, who die while just attempting to inform their students of what they see as necessary information?
What about the churches where people go to find solace and pray and are subjected to screaming mozlums and nasty things being visited upon the pews, fires that are set to burn them down, and the priests who are murdered because they are preaching Christ?
What about the “no-go zones” where even the police are in danger upon entering?
And what about all of the awful screeching that comes from mozlum barracks, with the demands to “kill” all infidels?
Non-mozlums just want to have the opportunity….and the Freedom…to express how they feel about islam and the fact that all infidels are in danger from those mozlums who wish to rape and murder.
Sure, it’s hard on the little mozlum kids…but it’s islam that is making their lives difficult. Blame should be placed where it belongs…on islam and not on the Truth about islam.

Yes, politicians are to blame but the blame extends elsewhere—to the MSM. academia, parasitic lawyers, greedy businessmen, apathy among so many ordinary citizens, et al. It has been a “collective effort” to destroy the West, whether through ignorance, laziness or malevolent willfulness.
Doomer says
There is hope with Hungary,Orban is represented by ANNE APPLEBAUM of The Atlantic as evil, an enemy of FREEDOM. In her book
“Twilight of Democracy”(2020)
Applebaum has written books against the Communism of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. (“Gulag”, “Iron curtain” and “Red famine,Stalin’s war on the Ukraine”)
She is a historian, BUT, as far as I know ( I have searched for articles and twitter messages),
has said NOTHING about the Freedom Convoy in Canada, about the LEFTS’s smearing of them ( presumably SHE is against such thugs).
Now Notice the KIND of people Anne Applebaum associates with, Stephen Marche ,her colleague at The Atlantic, is FULL of stupid,irrational hatred.
The Atlantic published an article AGAINST them by Stephen Marche ( CANADIAN Leftist),”When the Rage Came for Me”( FEB 12 ).
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/02/canada-anti-vaccine-trucker-protests/622060/
By now, (FEB 16 )LOTS of restrictions have been lifted due to the TRUCKERS and for this Marche guy (who has written a book called “The Next Civil War” )
the Canadian truckers are FAR-RIGHT activists,in his article he says:
“Recently I published a book of speculative nonfiction about the possibility of a civil war in the United States.
In the opening chapter,
I imagine a scenario in which a carnivalesque group of far-right activists
takes over a bridge and refuses to leave, provoking a response from federal authorities.
My fantasy became reality recently, except not in a rural American county, as I had envisioned it, but in Windsor, Ontario.”
Then he says:
” I confess that they disgusted me.
I found myself stopping several people on the street and telling them to go home, that they weren’t wanted here.”
ALSO:
“Every day the truckers remain in Ottawa, they appall a larger and larger segment of the Canadian population. “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake,” as Napoleon said.
Time is firmly on the authorities’ side, if not that of the people suffering in Ottawa.”
THEN:
“So why was I, at the trucker convoy in Toronto, gripped by a deep physical loathing, true abjection?
The truckers are operating on the level of narrative and symbolism. Their internal documents, leaked to The Guardian, reveal the usual conspiratorial thinking underlying their movement: that world leaders planned the pandemic and the rest of the “great reset” garbage.
1) The truckers disgust me because they believe lies and want to force their lies on the rest of the country.
2) They disgust me because they are not playing by the rules and represent a threat to decent, orderly citizens.
3) If I’m being honest, in some part of my Canadian soul they disgust me because they’re making a scene.
4) Ultimately, they disgust me because they are so disgusted, and their anger and loathing have now provoked a mirroring anger and loathing in myself.”
HIS FALSE PREDICTION
“Ultimately, I know that this trucker convoy will come to nothing. Its power has been exaggerated by U.S. media, principally Fox News.
Nearly 60 percent of Canadians find the protesters “offensive and inappropriate.” ”
( This 60% figure, since it comes from the Leftist press, we can be sure is 90% a LIE)
And he also wrote:
“I now have the anger I’ve been studying. I now know what it tastes like.
And telling myself that the truckers don’t matter, that the convoy will have exactly zero effect on public-health policy in Canada, doesn’t make the anger go away. ”
And he then says:
“While I was writing The Next Civil War, I worked hard at suspending judgment, at concentrating on hearing people and trying to understand their motivations, even if they were Nazis or violent criminals.
I worked so hard to resist the loathing and the rage.
Now they are with me, at my doorstep and in my heart. I want nothing to do with either. Unfortunately, I know more is coming. “
Doomer says
Now about Orhan, he is essentially a decent man. Orban, a Calvinist, was asked about his government’s support for persecuted Christians abroad.
LAST YEAR he established a MINISTRY out of his office to assist and defended persecuted Christian communities.
Tristan Azbej, is Hungary’s State Secretary for the Aid of Persecuted Christians and for the Hungary Helps Program at the Prime Minister’s Office.
It’s the only one like it in the world. This is an initiative of Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
And this is the man Anne Applebaum smears.Read:

I’ve heard the ridiculous claim that all of these Canadian truckers are secretly American, or that they have all been brainwashed by Americans. The idea that it is possible to Canadians to have these concerns is widely presented as impossible.
Michael Copeland says
Great Reset is “garbage”, Stephen Marche?
Take your view to Klaus Schwab. He wrote a book with that title.

‘I have the impression that today’s France spits on my parents, who fought to liberate it, on my parents who come to build its roads, and on me, who has respected all of the rules of democracy and integration,’ said Khadija
——————
Well Khadija if you respect the rules and are integrated into French society what are you upset about? Because as tough talking as Zemmour/Le Pen are, they’re actually really mild compared to what others should really say about Muslims.
They’ve both made it clear they want Muslims to respect France, they haven’t call for genocide or expulsions, they just happened to notice Muslims are slaughtering and raping French citizens and they want that to end, is that too much to ask of Muslims?
But that’s not why Khadija is ranting, like practically all Muslims she’s a bully and wants us non-Muslims to submit. She’s playing the victim and wants the French to not defend themselves from terrorists, rapists and Islamic supremacists. She dreams of turning every western nation into a Caliphate because she’s a brainwashed idiots like the rest of her gang. She spits on France and all the rights/freedoms it gave her.
You Khadija are a typical Muslim, the type that is stirring trouble in western nations and you don’t belong here. If your parents chose to fight for France, then they probably were justly rewarded, but it doesn’t now mean that France should bow down to Islam.
Muslims were allowed to enter free western nations to have a quality a life they could’ve only dreamed of in their own shiithole countries, but they come here and think they should be in charge and start attacking our freedoms/way of life and murder and rape citizens.
You’ve all worn out your welcome, those of us who know Islam, know it’s a dangerous ideology that’s been destroying civilizations for 1400 years and needs to go. You’ll be lucky if all the French ever do is decide to buy you a one-way ticket to your beloved Islamic state, they could do much worse for what you’ve done to them.

France: Muslims enraged over focus on Islam in upcoming elections
…………….
Would many Muslims be enraged if France was talking about imposing Shari’ah or instituting “blasphemy” laws against criticizing Islam?
Of course not. It is not the attention to Islam that enrages Muslims, but the fact that many in France are waking up to the threat of Islam.
john smith says
Gravenimage, I hope your right, I hope the French are waking up to the threat of islam. Unfortunately I’ve had these feelings before, only to be bitterly disappointed when I find that they are all still very much fast asleep.
We have to continue with our fight it’s our duty to warn others.To some this might sound a bit OTT, but our very salvation depends on fledgling movements such as JW.
Remember this we have a lot of catching up to do, they are far more organized than we are, we have 1,400 of catching up to do.
gravenimage says
I know how you feel, John–I’ve gone through the same. But I am happy to see any waking up to the threat of Islam, while realistically realizing that this doesn’t necessarily mean we are turning a corner yet.
I know from polls that Macron will likely win reelection–but I hope that Zemmour and Le Pen running at least mean that the threat of Islam is being discussed. That at least appears to be true, and it is discomfiting supremacist Muslims. That is something.
Fitna says
Good discussion and agreed. We’re taking for granted the problem of Islam as a threat is being finally addressed in the mainstream at least in France. For decades it was ignored.
Things obviously have to be really bad there for people to start discussing it, since they must feel their survival is being threatened. Let’s hope other nations through political correctness out the window, not fall for the thuggish tactics of using the words ‘racism’ and Islamophobia to silence critics of Islam.
When Muslims no longer feel safe in France or other nations, and start leaving in droves, then we know our side is winning. Let’s have no illusions, they’re here to conquer us, so this is a true battle for the future against them.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Fitna. Except I don’t think that Muslims should feel unsafe–just that they will not be allowed to victimize us or Islamize our civilized societies.
john smith says
Gravenimage,
I know were your coming from when you say, “I don’t think muslims should feel unsafe” (In western countries) I sort of get it, unfortunately it’s them or us.
muslims intend to slaughter every last one of us, we have to fight back. The indigenous people of many countries are already feeling unsafe, and that is solely due to the muslims presence there. The sooner the tables are turned the better.
Frank Anderson says
J.S. too many people refuse to understand that by the teachings and practice of islam:,Nobody who does not submit can ever be safe in the presence of those who submit. While we (non-muslims) are taught and seek to practice hospitality, our goal is used against us by evil people who wish to conquer, enslave and kill us and our future. Several Communist figures have said that Capitalists will provide the rope Communists will use to hang us. Muslims use our blind, ignorant, uninformed hospitality as the same weapon for our own destruction.
One of the great lessons to be found in the Common Law instituted by William the Conqueror following his 1066 victory is that virtually every rule has exceptions. While the rule of hospitality is one we should apply generally, exceptions must be made for our own survival. We cannot submit.
somehistory says
Yes, John, if they feel some insecurity for a change, that might mean they are less likely to just go out and do as they please without any fear of being caught, stopped, prosecuted, etc. When they feel totally secure, they are in control.
gravenimage says
John–with the greatest respect–I think we can successfully oppose Islam without descending to Islamic savagery.
Muslims should know that they can make no headway in Islamizing our nations. All non-citizen Jihadists should be deported after serving prison terms, and in the case of Jihad terror attacks there should be widespread investigations of family, Mosque, Imams, and associates–followed by prosecutions and more dseportations where called for.
Mass Muslim immigration should end now.
None of this is violent, but would much curtail the Muslim threat.
And Somehistory, the only thing I oppose is calls for vigilante violence–I agree with all your points.
somehistory says
g,
Thank you. The Bible book of Romans says that “instilling fear” of criminal activity is the *reason* governments “bear the sword.” If a person…mozlum or infidel…”fears the sword” of the government, fears getting caught, going to prison,” then second thoughts can enter in and the person might not commit the crime.
mozlums have come to expect to get away with breaking laws….”mentally ill,” “not knowing the culture,” etc. so they don’t “fear the sword.” This should change…like yesterday.

America also must pay attention to who they vote for. It seems like every election cycle Muslim/Islamic candidates show up on the ballots and are elected to public office.

somehistory says
My almost five year-old granddaughter is very, very smart. The only way she would say something similar would be if someone said it and made her repeat it back.
If the “baker” was “smiling,” the kid would not think about “what’s behind” it. And “living under permanent suspicion,” is not in a child’s vocabulary.
As usual, mozlums lie. And as usual, mozlums **use** children to further islam, however they can, whenever they can, and in this case, to gain sympathy from those who care about children and their fears.
And, if sympathy is gained, the mozlum can be assured that the Truth about islam will die down once again.
