Even globalist French President Emmanuel Macron is failing to keep Islamic supremacists happy. No matter how much globalists kowtow, it will never suffice until the sharia is established. This has already begun, with shutting-down of speech that has been deemed offensive to Islam and/or Muslims, while flinging open doors to unvetted Muslim migration.
“Macron prompted outrage in Bosnia and Herzegovina when he casually dismissed the whole country as a ‘ticking time-bomb’ unfit for European Union membership.” The French President was referring to returning jihadists from Syria — whom he has refused to repatriate. His words (“ticking time bomb”), however, were portrayed as an insult to Muslims in Bosnia and compared to Donald Trump’s alleged “sh**hole country” remark.
How easily offended Islamic supremacists are, but their real issue is with anyone who addresses the jihadist threat realistically, because to do so stymies their efforts. Islamic supremacists either trivialize the jihad threat, claiming that it has no link to Islam, or they accuse the one who who addresses the threat of “Islamophobia.”
“Macron’s ‘Time-Bomb’ Remark Betrays Wider Anti-Muslim Prejudice,” by Darryl Li, Balkan Insight, November 12, 2019:
Last week, French president Emmanuel Macron prompted outrage in Bosnia and Herzegovina when he casually dismissed the whole country as a “ticking time-bomb” unfit for European Union membership.
Macron referenced “returning jihadists” from Syria, but Bosnia is no different from France and other EU states on this score, so the line seemed to needlessly single out one of the biggest Muslim-majority countries in Europe. The comment came off as little more than a high-brow version of Donald Trump’s infamous “shithole countries” remark.
Macron’s words, however, reflected a broader animus against Muslims with ramifications far beyond Bosnia and must also be squarely challenged.
The anger in Bosnia at Macron builds on years of frustration at how the West seems only to care about the country as a potential “jihadi hotbed.”
That concern stems from a notion that a country full of people who are both Muslim and white must be an oxymoron: Bosnian Muslims may seem like good Westerners but they could be secret fanatics, all the more dangerous because they confound racial profiling measures.
Blanket demonisation
Needless to say, Serb and Croat nationalists relentlessly invoked this theme during the 1992-1995 war, presenting themselves as defenders of Western civilisation against Islam….
