The Henry Jackson Society, named after one of America’s greatest senators and based in London, can occasionally be counted on for political common sense. But not this time, I’m afraid. The executive director of the society, Alan Mendoza, has just delivered himself of some remarks to Fox News on the Muslim riots that might have appeared in The Guardian. Here are some of them:
“What’s happening there [in France] is the consequence of a failure to integrate the country’s Muslim immigrant population,” Alan Mendoza, co-founder and executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital.
“The France of legend is far removed from the daily realities of life in a ghettoized community that does not have the same opportunities to progress and succeed as the native population,” he said. “France’s forgotten communities are showing that they will stay forgotten no longer.”
“The simmering rage felt in the banlieues just needed a spark to explode and is now being taken advantage of by an anarchical strain of French society that has always welcomed disorder in the form of rioting and looting.
Mendoza refers to a “failure to integrate the country’s Muslim immigrant population.” He must be unaware of the tens of billions of dollars the French government lavishes on that Muslim population, providing them with everything – free housing, free medical care, free education, family allowances, unemployment benefits (even for those who have never worked in France), and more. He must not know that a large part of the government now devotes itself to programs to “integrate” the Muslim population. But just as the Muslim recipients of so much government largesse lavished upon them show no gratitude, only a handful of Muslims – to the extent that they reject Islam – are willing to integrate into the larger society. Muslims, who are taught that they are the “best of peoples,” see no point in trying to integrate into a society that is run by the French Infidels who, like all Infidels, are “the most vile of created beings.” Furthermore, even simple friendship with the French is discouraged by the Qur’an, which tells Muslims that they “must not take Jews or Christians as friends, for they are friends only with each other.”
Mendoza says that the Muslims do not have the same opportunities “to progress and succeed as the native population.” He has things backwards. Government programs in France offer special vocational training courses to Muslims that are unavailable to the indigenous French. A French version of affirmative action makes allowances for Muslim “under-performance” at school to help push them forward nonetheless. Special programs at every step give Muslims a leg up on their French classmates. Some deficiencies cannot be helped. Muslims who grow up in families with ten children (meaning each child receives less attention from the parents than do the children in French families, where two children are the norm), where the mothers are often illiterate, where French is not spoken at home, have special classes in language offered to them for free. French universities take in Muslim students who, strictly on merit, would not qualify for admission. Local governments are encouraged to hire Muslims to work in their offices. Yet Mendoza claims that these coddled Muslims do not have the same opportunities “to progress and succeed.” He has things upside down: the Muslims have opportunities that are far more extensive than those provided to the indigenous French.
What about that “ghettoized community” that Mendoza complains of? It is the Muslims themselves who choose to live together, and in so doing, they gradually push out non-Muslims who find living among those Muslims both unpleasant and dangerous, as they are constantly harassed by their new neighbors. So neighborhoods throughout French cities are gradually transformed until no non-Muslims are left; they have fled for safer quarters. Thus are the hundreds of “No-Go” neighborhoods created, where non-Muslims fear to tread. Even the firemen have to enter such areas accompanied by the police, and the police themselves dare enter only in force. A “ghetto” implies that a population has been forced to live in a certain area, but no one forces the Muslims. They want to live in Muslim-only neighborhoods.
Mendoza claims that with the recent riots that “France’s forgotten communities are showing that they will stay forgotten no longer” is absurd. The Muslims in France are not “forgotten.” They are the main topic of political discussion, on radio and television, in the newspapers, in the speeches of politicians at every level. And from the right and left come different answers to the question of “what can be done with such a hostile population now living in our midst?” These are not, as Mendoza claims, the “forgotten communities” of the Republic.
“France’s forgotten communities are showing that they will stay forgotten no longer.” Also sprach Alan Mendoza. Yes, setting fire to schools and libraries and hospitals is a most effective way to remind people that you exist, and that you deserve far better. Who would not want to do more for Muslims after having seen the way their condition practically forces them to turn to pillage and arson? Mendoza speaks of the “simmering rage in the banlieues” where Muslims live, but does not ask himself if that “simmering rage” is justified. Beyond the tens of billions of dollars spent on these Muslims by the French state, to provide them with everything they need, and to bring them up to the level of the French themselves, what would Mendoza have the French government do? At some point, the government must ask itself why no other immigrant group — not the Chinese, nor the Vietnamese, nor the black Christians from Africa and the Caribbean, nor the Hindus from India — behaves in such a violent and hostile matter as do the Muslims.

Integration takes two to work and the Moose Limb population for the most part do not try to integrate and after all the obligation is on them. Choosing instead to set up their own culture within France yet alien to Frnch values
This the Moose Limbs demonstrating their power to bring down French society. I hope the govet. will take note and take radical steps before it is too late, and total war breaks out
Jack Reynolds says
France and likely Austria have admitted far too many Islamists. The only way this problem will be resolved is through Civil War and a two-state solution, aka Apartheid.

Canada is headed down the same path.

Ray Jarman says
To answer Mendoza’s question, it is no the responsibility of any nation that accepts a refugee to descend to the depths of decadency of said person or persons. It is the responsibility of the person allowed to seek a new home to adopt to the norms of the society in which that person or person has chosen to inhabit.
Here in America, the Muslims are demanding that their evil pestilences such as Eid and Ramadan be celebrated by marking them as national holidays is totally improper. Every nation that stupidly accepts these sub-humans should demand that they assimilate the host’s society and behavioral norms. If their societies are so fine and enriching, why are they invading our nations. (I am sure that everyone here at JH knows the answer)
somehistory says
Ray, every thinking person would have to agree with your comment. The only ones who might not know the answer to your question at the end, are those who are new to come here. I have seen a few names I had not seen before….doesn’t mean they haven’t been here, but are new to me…and some of them may be just learning the why’s and wherefores of islam and the response of mozlums to their belief system.
When studying the history of the U.S., it would be obvious that at one time, new immigrants were expected to learn the laws, learn the local customs and how to get along in their new home.
mozlums don’t want to learn any of that, except to exploit the laws and customs for their own evil designs. Recall the c.a.i.r. leech in CA who told her fellow mozlums not to talk to the FBI? And the hordes of mozlums in MN who openly say they want their foul and feculent system of behavior….I refuse to call it “law”…imposed on this country? And the moz cleric who said that islam wasn’t to be *one* of the religions in the U.S., but the **only** religion in the U.S.
They don’t come to get along….they come to take over. They intend to force us to bow to their beast.
Bexarkat says
As here, in the United States, and other countries with large Muslim populations, most do not wish to integrate into the greater society but prefer to be apart from, rather than apart of the greater society. Perhaps it’s a part of a future jihad/overthrow of western civilization?
CogitoErgoSum says
II think the actual term for a “Muslim ghetto” is “Muslim colony.” France has within its borders numerous colonies which exist not for the purpose of integrating with France but rather to establish a completely different country composed of a completely different people. That should be clearly evident to everyone by now.
somehistory says
France has had mozlum no-go zones for a very long time…and with those came car burnings, attacks on the police and citizens. Just as their barracks are forward installations for the purpose of war and overthrow, the purpose of the “colonies” is as you say…to take over and make “fundamental changes” in every country.

PAKISTAN

Muslim murders Christian widow on her way home from work for refusing to convert to Islam.

In yet another incident in Pakistan of a Christian woman murdered for refusing to convert to Islam and marry a Muslim man. The torture of Shazia Imran was particularly brutal as the primary suspect got three other Muslims to join him in gang raping Shazia and slashing her throat — as the Qur’an directs to be done to infidels (Qur’an 47:4) — and then dousing her with acid. Yet Westerners continue to go along with the “Islamophobia” canard.

Westerners who propagate and lend deference and legitimacy to Muslim supremacists’/terrorists’ contrived, fallacious and self-serving propaganda mythologies of alleged victimhood are contemptibly gullible fools and dhimmi useful idiots.
Muslims are not today, and, have never historically been, anything remotely approaching “victims.”
Tony Naim says
Mendoza has it upside down. It is the immigrants who do not want to integrate, not the French welfare state who is already supporting them.
libertyORdeath says
I gotta say that I’m impressed by the ability of the leftist/deep-state alliance to constantly create new jobs for the masses of leftist activists who graduate from school with ZERO productive skills.
Can you imagine what the employment prospects would be for a gender studies major back in the 1950s?
But once you setup a system of government dependence, activist NGOs, and climate alarmism you can create an entire ecosystem of activism that is both self-perpetuating and nearly endless. Every common daily action becomes a reason to shovel more money into programs that purport to fight nebulous battles where the problem AND the end goals are never stated plainly.
You think that the DIE agenda or the climate lobby have a end goal that once achieved would render their services unnecessary? Of course not. This stuff only stops when we stop it.
The worst part is that there is a whole new generation of kids who know NOTHING about the real world because they’ve been “taught” their whole lives that women can be men, that men can get pregnant, that all white people are violent racists, and that the world will end within a few years if the West doesn’t commit energy suicide while China and India build coal-fired power plants at a pace never seen in history.
I try to be optimistic, but looking at France, the UK or Canada makes me depressed.
James Lincoln says
libertyORdeath,
An excellent and accurate post, my compliments.

Thanks James.
“What’s happening there [in France] is the consequence of a failure to integrate the country’s Muslim immigrant population…”
This is the quote that set me off about activists, NGOs, and big government programs.
It’s never the rhetoric or actions of so-called “protected classes” that is responsible for the issue of the day. It’s always a “failure” of the people who never asked for these problems in the first place.
A “failure” of the French people to “integrate the country’s Muslim immigrant population” is simply code for “the problem is YOU, and we need MORE money and MORE activists to fix it.
Self-perpetuating madness.
Wellington says
Continued willful ignorance like this by non-Muslims in the West is a decided recipe for the ending of the West.
It’s the ideology, you fool. And what a monumental and destructive fool you are.
Lez says
Brilliant article. Thanks
PRCS says
It’s true.
France has failed to integrate its Muslim immigrant population. But, that failure is not France’s fault.
No matter how hard it tries to do so, that segment of its population cannot be integrated, as Islam’s texts prevent them from being governed by “unbelievers”.
libertyORdeath says
If anyone can call free housing, free school, free healthcare, free welfare, protected class status, tens of thousands of new mosques and the censorship of anyone opposed to the illegal invasion a “failure to integrate,” they’ll NEVER be “integrated.”
Just remember my French brothers and sisters – this is ONLY THE BEGINNING. Things will only get WORSE as the foreign population grows and the native population wanes. If the majority of muslims were actually grateful for the gift they’ve been given (as we are told incessantly), and opposed the so-called “radical” Muslims, we would see those French loving muslims speaking and acting out against the so-called “extremists.” We don’t, and we won’t.
Mr. Spencer always reminds us that muslims will act as if they want peaceful coexistence when their numbers are small, but once they think they have enough loyal muslims they will move to disenfranchise the natives and begin to install a shariah compliant government to finish the job.

Jack Reynolds says
What would the world look like if everyone acted like The Prophet ???
.
Qur’an 33:21 states: “Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often.” So what did this ‘excellent example’ look like in practice? Well, based on impeccable Islamic sources Muhammad:
1) Ordered raids (razzias) on caravans (and took part in several) to steal their contents and to sell people for ransom
2) Forced several of his enemies (e.g., Abu Sufyan) to accept his prophethood or be executed. He forced his adopted son (by receiving a ‘revelation’ from God) to divorce his wife so that he could marry her (Sahih Muslim Volume 2 Number 2347; Sahih Bukhari Volume 3 Number 249; see also Qur’an 33:6-38).
3) ‘Married’, and had sex with, a woman on the same day that her husband, father, brother, and most of her family were slaughtered by his followers (Sahih Bukhari Volume 2 number 68 and Volume 4 number 143,280)
4) Instead of only taking four wives (the amount he allowed his followers) he received a special revelation allowing him to take as many as he wished (Qur’an 33:50). Prompting his favourite wife Aisha to exclaim that it seems that God sent down revelations merely to suit the prophet (Sahih Muslim Volume 2 Number 3453)!
5) Married Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage while she was only nine (Sahih Bukhari Volume 7 Book 62 Number 64) One tradition even states that she was still playing with dolls at the time the marriage was consummated (Sahih Muslim Volume 8 Number 3311).
6) Committed genocide by allowing the slaughter of 900 unarmed male members of the Banu Qurayzah (Jewish) tribe after they refused to embrace Islam and received ‘divine sanction’ for it (Qur’an 33:25-26).
7) Ordered the assassination of several people who were of him (e.g., the poets Asma bint Marwan and Abu Afak).
8) Ordered the torture of Kinana al-Rabi to with a red-hot iron to ‘encourage’ him to reveal the whereabouts of a hidden treasure.
9) Broke a treaty (The treaty of Hudabiyyah) which committed him to live in peace with the people of Mecca. Again, he conveniently receives a ‘revelation’ justifying his actions (Qur’an 60:10).
10) Allowed his followers to rape captive women (Sahih Muslim Book 8 Number 3371)
.
What would the world look like if people consistently modelled their behaviour on that of the ‘prophet’? Frankly, it does not bear thinking about.
.
The solution for France and likely Austria too will be APARTHEID.

Shalom says
Why has he let the side down with such an infuriating comment. I always been an admirer of the Henry Jackson society.
libertyORdeath says
The same reason that the “conservative” UK government “elected” Sunak and continues to let in tens of thousands of economic migrants.
Make no mistake – there is no “left” or “right” in the UK…just one big uniparty that hopes to replace those pesky, freedom loving Brits with what they view as a dependent and compliant foreign population.
I mean come on now…the “conservative” prime Minister is a foreigner who HATES the UK and its people. Imagine if France put an Algerian migrant into office as the president. That’s the future of globalist “conservatism” in Europe.
Jim says
Put a permanent stop on Muslim immigration to the West. That is as obvious as trying to put out a fire before it burns down a building. Second all the arsonists should get prison sentences and be deported. Instead the governments seem to want to help the arsonists by pouring gasoline on the flames.
