France has brought this upon itself, and it will by no means be the only country in the West where it happens.
“Police make 719 arrests as France burns for a fifth night: Rioters ram mayor’s home with a burning car ‘in assassination attempt’ that left his wife and children injured as protests sparked by police ‘execution’ of boy, 17, escalate,” by Natasha Anderson, Daily Mail, July 2, 2023:
Rioters rammed a burning car into the home of a mayor of a town outside Paris, injuring his wife and child in what he has branded as an ‘assassination attempt’.
The attack in the early house of Sunday on Vincent Jeanbrun’s home in the Paris suburb of L’Hay-les-Roses came as 719 people were arrested in France following widespread rioting.
Mayor Vincent Jeanbrun wrote on Twitter that protesters had ‘rammed a car’ into his home before ‘setting a fire’ while his family slept. Following the attack, he vowed to ‘not back down’ and said his ‘determination to protect and serve the Republic is greater than ever’.
It was the fifth consecutive night of disturbances since the death of Nahel Merzouk, 17, who was allegedly ‘executed’ by police during a traffic stop.
Merzouk’s death on Tuesday has spawned anger across the country. He was laid to rest Saturday in a Muslim ceremony in his hometown of Nanterre, a Paris suburb where emotion over his loss remains raw.
The fast-spreading chaos is posing a new challenge to President Emmanuel Macron’s leadership and exposing deep-seated discontent in low-income neighbourhoods over discrimination and lack of opportunity.
Mr Jeanbrun said his wife and one of his children were injured in the ram-raid, which he believed was attempted murder.
He said: ‘Last night, a milestone was reached in horror and ignominy. My home was attacked and my family was the victim of an assassination attempt.
‘At 1:30 a.m., while I was at the town hall, as for the past three nights, individuals launched a car at my home before setting it on fire, so as to set fire to my house, in which my wife was sleeping and my two young children.
‘All of this was skillfully orchestrated, without consideration for the lives inside the house.’…

Peaceful Islam promoting pieces across the world.

Maybe, just maybe, some French politician (other than Eric Zemmour) will accept that this is war. Both French police and German police have described it, accurately, as war. In Islam’s rules France is Dar al Harb, the Realm of War.
These “riots” are an Islamic armed assault on France, on the French polity. The death of the teenager is but a springboard and a handy distraction from their overall motive. This prolonged offensive is a putsch in the 1400 year war against the filthy kuffar, the war to establish the Islamic Caliphate, piece by piece. It is not a “protest”, nor is it a simple criminal riot.

Why isn’t the French army out on the streets?
Joe1 says
Nearly every other religion seeks happiness, but Islam wants a theocracy, and they are willing to kill to get it.
It should be given to them. Round up the rioters. Use the military, if necessary. Then ship them to Mauritania who already has their dream realized. In fact, the world has 55 Islamic theocracies. So, a lot of countries would be just the place for them.
somehistory says
This is a favored excuse, not the *reason*…
“exposing deep-seated discontent in low-income neighbourhoods over discrimination and lack of opportunity.”
It there is discrimination, it’s been against the law-abiding citizens and in favor of those now rioting.
Lack of opportunity to a mozlum is no place to bomb, no little kids or young women to rape, no necks to slash, no one to extort.

Now you know what Hindus have been experiencing for 1000yrs. Hindus have been demonised by the west for protecting themselves.

You should never wish that something that is evil is not evil. Many excuses for iniquity can be made but that’s all they are—excuses. Time is way overdue for France and the West in its entirety to be done with excuses for the worst religion of all time.
I fear however that too many in the West will continue to do just this, for instance what somehistory mentioned above, i.e., socio-economic “reasoning” as a way of exculpating criminal behavior, behavior that Mo’s followers have been engaged in for some 1400 years.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
To your point, it is truly evil to excuse evil.
Wellington says
Yes, it is indeed, James, as I know you and so many others who post here at JW know full well. Damn shame that far more of mankind, especially here in the West because no civilization pioneered liberty as the West has, doesn’t grasp this basic and essential truth because to the extent that evil is excused you can count on freedom and many other good things, like equality under the law, being diminished. Sure happening now.
Jim says
The Muslim religion seems to have a negative effect on people who want to commit violence. They cannot find verses telling them to be peaceful and not throw the first stone. It is hard to see how anyone can say it is a religion of peace. But true liberals can always find a justification for claiming it is a religion of peace.

lets take things from the start… nahel merzouk, the guy who was shot, was member of one of the biggest gangs in france…. he was pimping underage girls from his school and other schools and the day he was shot he had raped one too many underage girls…. just like so many other arab teens…..
macron is a corrupt bribed and perverted leader of the establishment who from the start refused orders to the police, substancial orders, in order to tackle the civil war from the start…. he is responsible for the billions of euros damages and for the injuries of hundrend of cops by sub machine guns rifles and other firearms the rioters were baring….
macron refused to allow the police to use firearms themselves, firearms that were left waiting in the police centres only to be looted by the rioters…
latest news that the french military has given macron 48 hours to completely stop the rioting before the army goes out on the streets again to do it themselves..
major police organisations have threatened to make an uprising themselves against macron because of the way he handled the crises which resulted in hundrends if not thousants of police wounded or seriously wounded mostly from firearms of the rioters…..
Wellington says
born saturday: To sum up your accurate post, Macron is beyond pathetic. But this is what France has become, i.e., governed by a twit whom De Gaulle would have dismissed in a nanosecond.
Linde B. says
To born saturday- Thank you for your comments. They are all true and very scary. Macron, in my honest opinion, is a wussy. He
needs to resign immediately or be discharged. France is a beautiful country and the French people deserve a much better leader than Macron.
Hudders. says
Coming to the UK and other capitulating, myopic and history negligent countries soon.
What we see in France today.
These animals spread hate, war, death and their backwards devilish death cult wherever they settle and begin to infest.
When will folks start to wake up?
OLD GUY says
Yes it is war. These mostly young male muslim migrants have invaded these countries the same as an invading army would. Once enough of these invaders are in country they start disrupting the law of order and social norms along with attaching the local citizens. There is no diversity or living side by side with islamic followers. Their ideology is that of world dominance no different than Hitlers Nazi party. The only way to stop this invasion is to close the borders and deport those who do not follow the laws of the country they are residing in.
Peacelover says
+ very well put

France surrenders? Nothing new.

The question is how do you do that especially with these politicians who are ready to sell their mothers to get elected . The popular press, ,politicians and some church leaders are all involved in this conspiracy of silence with people like Geroge Soros who is ready to spend billions of dollar on this mayhem .We need to expose more people to jihad Watch ,David Wood ,Christian Prince to name a few to educate them and let them know what Islam really is and what it stands for .It take time and the results are beginning to show .We should be patient and persevere and spread the word .Hopefully in two to three decades Islam will be confined to the dust bin of history .
