The ever-ridiculous Daily Mail goes out of its way to tell us twice, in an article that is poorly written even by the Mail’s standards, that Dati was “raised in a devoutly Muslim household.” Truth should be true no matter who speaks it, but that is not the case in today’s world. Dati’s words should carry more weight as coming from a Muslim migrant, who presumably should know about jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others, and the devastation that both are causing and could cause to France. But will she be heeded, or excoriated by the establishment media in France and Europe at large? More likely the latter.
“Paris mayor says she AGREES with military chiefs who threatened to seize control of the country and warned of the ‘disintegration’ of France – as 18 of the officers are fired,” by Ross Ibbetson and Peter Allen, MailOnline, April 29, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
A Paris mayor has backed military chiefs who threatened to seize control of the country to fight radical Islam and prevent the ‘disintegration’ of France.
Eighteen serving officers who were among the hundreds of retired soldiers who signed the open letter to Emmanuel Macron are to be fired, the country’s armed forces chief confirmed today.
But despite widespread condemnation, politicians on the right like Rachida Dati, mayor of the 7th arrondissement, continue to throw their support behind the signatories, who included 20 retired generals.
‘What is written in this letter is a reality,’ Ms Dati told France Info radio today. ‘When you have a country plagued by urban guerrilla warfare, when you have a constant and high terrorist threat, when you have increasingly glaring and flagrant inequalities … we cannot say that the country is doing well.’
The 55-year-old was raised in a devoutly Muslim household by an Algerian mother and father. She has made a name for herself as a politician who takes no prisoners, infuriating left-wingers with her law-and-order crackdown as justice minister, and brushing off critics when she decided to take just three days maternity leave after the birth of her daughter.
She said that ‘the police have become a target for terrorists.’
A policewoman was stabbed to death last week in Rambouillet southwest of Paris.
Anti-terror officers said the suspect, a Tunisian national, had been watching jihadist propaganda videos prior to the attack.
Ms Dati continued: ‘I am afraid that the police will break down one day.’
Referencing the military officers’ letter, she added: ‘And if they crack, we go well beyond the disintegration of society.’
The 55-year-old served as justice minister under Nicolas Sarkozy from 2007 to 2009.
Raised in a devoutly Muslim household by Algerian immigrant parents, Ms Dati is no stranger to ruffling feathers and has been tipped to run against Macron in 2022.
She is renowned for taking no prisoners, infuriating left-wingers with her law-and-order crackdown as justice minister, and brushing off critics when she decided to take just three days maternity leave after the birth of her daughter.
Asked in September what her plans were over the next two years, Ms Dati told The Times: ‘To win the 2022 presidential election.’
Her intervention today comes as the Chief of France’s Defence Staff General François Lecointre today condemned those who signed the letter, calling it ‘absolutely revolting.’
‘I hope that their automatic retirement will be decided,’ Gen. Lecointre told the Parisien newspaper.
‘This is an exceptional procedure, which we are launching immediately at the request of the Minister of the Armed Forces.
‘These general officers will each pass before a higher military council. At the end of this procedure, it is the President of the Republic who signs a decree expelling them’.
The 18 serving officers joined thousands of retired ones who had signed an open letter warning that France was heading for ‘civil war’ because of radical Islam.
It said action was needed to fight the ‘suburban hordes’ – a reference to the predominantly immigrant population of the housing estates which surround French cities – or else there would be ‘thousands of deaths’.
President Macron’s government strongly condemned the letter, which was published on the 60th anniversary of a failed coup d’etat by generals opposed to France granting independence to Algeria, its former North African colony.
Prime Minister Jean Castex said the letter by military figures was ‘against all of our republican principles, of honour and the duty of the army’.
And Florence Parly, the Defence Minister, said: ‘This is unacceptable. There will be consequences, naturally.
The soldiers behind the letter were all said to be anti-immigration activists with racist views and strong ties to the far-Right Rassemblement National (National Rally).
The lead signatory was Christian Piquemal, 80, who commanded the French Foreign Legion before losing his privileges as a retired officer after being arrested while taking part in an anti-Islam demonstration in 2016.
Marine Le Pen, the Rassemblement National leader, welcomed the letter, which was first published last week in Valeurs Actuelle (Current Values) magazine….
JCA Reid says
Got it wrong. It’s not “Radical” Islam – it IS ISLAM! You cannot pick bits & bods out of the Teachings calls for the subjugation of all humanity to this bandit, degenerate ideology. If not a Muslim it’s throat cutting time , or slavery, especially if a female. That’s Islam in a nutshell.
Brando says
Yes,I know about RASHIDA DATI, I really dont think she is a Muslim anymore,since a few years ago, she became pregnant and gave birth ( she refused to say the name of the father).
So she is a SINGLE MOTHER.
ALMOST ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
Few people know about this but while ISIS was in existence they had an Official Poet: a very brilliant and gifted writer called:
AHLAM AL-NASR,
whose poems are superb,she wrote ,in honor of ISIS,a collection of poems called “BLAZE of TRUTH”(2014).
She also wrote a 30 page essay that justified the BURNING ALIVE of Jordanian pilot Moaz Al-Kasabeh by ISIS ( it was filmed ).
gravenimage says
Brando–with all respect–I don’t find Ahlam al-Nasr (a pseudonym meaning “Dream of Victory”) all that impressive–certainly not brilliant.
Here’s a fairly typical poem from “The Blaze of Truth”:
Ask Mosul, city of Islam, about the
lions—
how their fierce struggle brought
liberation.
The land of glory has shed its humiliation
and defeat
and put on the raiment of splendor.
…
This is really standard, even hackneyed Jihadist rhetoric.
Brando says
Hopefully it is better in the original Arabic and probably,considering the Leftist-Muslim alliance,they will one day make a MOVIE about her where she will be a heroine.
There is a 1995 about a fictional Egyptian who converts to Christianity in the US and returns to his country for a vacation.I think it is the ONLY such film so far:
“Behind The Sun (1995) | Full Movie | Story of Samir Majan”

Hahahaha…kaf kaf kaf ‘liberation’ what liberation? Obviously that version of liberation means the ISIS bandits are free to plunder murder and oppress the population just like their bandit satanic cult tells them to do.
So much for that ‘poetry’ what a joke.

It is quite dreadful, isn’t it ? – I expect she cobbled it together from the bits she had left over from endlessly composing rhyming couplets for Clinton Cards.
What is really called for is a “Poem of the Peninsula” – a ten-thousand word epic to be written by some Beowulf of the Bedouin – encompassing the whole sweep of Arabian history in the manner of “Joe Biden’s arms reaching out on Inauguration Day to embrace the whole American people…” (Copyright CNN Trash Productions plc) – the shimmering sands – the scent of sandalwood – the swish of the scimitar – the savagery of the Sultanate and the sighs of the slaves – the sound of Sabri S scribbling nonsense on the Silk Sheet of Time etc.
In case it helps, I’ve made a bit of a start…..
“There was an old fellow named Mo
Who found himself bursting to go –
The situation was grave
But he found a dark cave –
And when he came out he was a murderous psychopath who started a supremacist death cult that led to untold millions of deaths, and ever since has been the greatest cause of suffering and misery ever to have been visited upon the human race.”
It starts off alright, but I can’t quite get the last line to scan…..

For Phil Copson,
A little song, suitable for the late Morsi of Egypt, and also for Warsi of UK:
Warsi, Warsi, don’t you stop,
Just let the blades go chippety chop,
The sword go swish,
And the heads roll down,
Giddy-up! We’re Caliphate bound.

Good to hear.
tim gallagher says
That is great to hear. It is beginning to sound as if the French people have had enough of the garbage Muslims inevitably bring. And, in the case of France, having over 8% Muslims in the population is a huge problem. Maybe France will give the whole world a very important example in how to deal with the Muslim invaders, who have done so much damage to France. It has been a big mistake to let the population of France become over 8% Muslim, but, if the French people do demand that their governments get really tough and take back their country, then that would show the other non-Muslim countries what needs to done in so many other countries.
Eva says
I’d like to think so, but unfortunately what is needed is someone with a spine to reverse the multiple evils moslems bring, not just in france, but in the rest of the world too, and there doesn’t seem to be one politician on the planet who has the brain or the courage to actually make a stand.
The vile and degenerate ideology of islam has always sought total world domination, the people who should be protecting us from it are actually standing back and ushering it in.
tim gallagher says
Eva, it is probably a bit of wishful thinking on my part. I keep hoping that western countries, France, the UK, Germany, Sweden, etc, will turn things around and wake up and get really tough with islam, so I am probably speaking more in hope than really strong belief about France finally waking up and getting tough. I feel that only Hungary and the other Visegrad bloc countries, which shut Muslims out, have things right. I agree with you that Islam has always been out to take over the world and I believe that all non-Muslim countries should simply ban any Muslims from getting into their countries. I live in hope that the populations of all our non-Muslim countries will wake up and force our politicians to get really tough. It is taking a bloody long time though.

France: Mayor of Paris’ 7th arrondissement says she agrees with military chiefs who warned about ‘radical Islam’
………………..
Good for Rachida Dati.
And as a member of the European Parliament she often served on panels on counter terrorism.
As for whether she is currently a practicing Muslim, it’s hard to tell. She was indeed raised in a Muslim household, but also attended Catholic school. She was the victim of a forced marriage in Algeria as a young woman, but was able to escape it. Today she is an unwed mother, does not veil, and wears stylish clothes.
This, from a USNews article about her:
To immigrants, says Mehdi Dahar, a 22-year Frenchman of Algerian origin, “she may appear more of a traitor than as someone who is going to serve their cause.”
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2008/12/24/the-storm-around-frances-first-muslim-cabinet-minister-rachida-dati?context=amp
Of course pious Muslims consider someone opposed to Jihad terror as a “traitor”
Naildriver says
It’s not necessarily a good thing.
The mayor of London may be considered by devout Muslims as apostate, I don’t know; but unless she is unabashedly anti-Islamic and literally denounces islam as, for example the ‘Draw Mohammed’ cartoonist, I’m sceptical any good will come of it.
There are many apostate Muslims who would have Islam ‘Lite’ –‘for their fond attachments to Islamic culture, family ties, and ignorance — perhaps inability to face reality of how evil the system they were born into really is.
James Lincoln says
Rachida Dati could be the real deal, I’m cautiously optimistic…
Eva says
I hope they listen to her, because what she is saying is absolutely right.
I stand with the officers who wrote that letter. These people know the score, as do so many of the rest of us.
I would hope that the idiot boris can tear himself away from whining about his paternity payments and his flat refurbishment for long enough to let it sink in too, but when all you’ve got between your ears is air and avarice, the important things seem to float straight through.

Those who have lived under the particular form of oppression are always the most accurate at identifying the early signs that the infection has reached the shores of the haven they believed themselves to have found. They had better listen to this woman, and those like her.
James Lincoln says
revereridesagain,
The brave leaders of countries like Poland and Hungary understand oppression. That’s why their borders are closed to muslim migrants…
Walter Sieruk says
It must , obviously be a need to reiterate that the terms “Radical Islam” and “Islamic extremism” is actually a misuse of terms. “Moderate Muslim” are actually Western term and not that well known in the Islamic Middle East. This is because what in the Islamic mindset in the Muslim Middle East as well as in Indonesia and other Muslim controlled countries what the non-Muslims of the Western nations view as “radical and “extremist” the Muslims of those places in the world see as “Normal” and even Devout and committed to the Cause of Islam”.
Furthermore, those “Moderate Muslims” are those of the Islamic worldview and non-devout and non –committed Muslims. The violent jihadists even see them as “hypocrites.” Therefore, this explains the jihadist chant of those jihad-minded Muslims in different Islamic terror organizations. When they chant out loud “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” Meaning Death to people who and not Muslims and people who are non- jihadist Muslims.
Concerning the last part of this above essay, the violent spirit of that vicious jihadist chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” The later word of the chant “hypocrites” in the jihad –minded Muslim worldview is further explain in the book titled JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH by Jamie Glazov , for on page 42 the reader is informed that “Islam mandates that devout and real Muslims must punish , and in some circumstances kill, those Muslims whom they regard as neither legitimate nor properly devout.”
Walter Sieruk says
That vicious murder of that France policewoman by that jihad –minded Muslims and all the different Islamic terrorists attacks in France and the vast number of sex assaults and outright rapes against the French girls and women in the nation of France which most vile form of Islamic misogyny possible
Furthermore many Muslim jihad/murder attacks in France has been proven to be strongly linked to the large number of male Muslim migrants may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter France to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.
This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life.
The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature, they have this evil nature because of their violent ,misogynistic religion.
So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed live in France to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.

Yes your right Walter, and I read today ole joes handlers are proposing $100,000,000 to Iran as a kind gesture to make them more co-operative re the (Daft) nuke deal.
Woe is me.
Walter Sieruk says
The French people are showing wisdom regarding dangers of Islam and Islamic terrorism. This new awareness of the part of the French is the results of many evil action of violence and murder by Muslim terrorists. In France.
As seen in that jihadist who had committed his murderous attacks in the French city of Strasbourg last December was indeed most heinous Even before this Strasbourg Muslim terrorist attack there were those vicious ISIS jihad attack and those brutal murdering Islamic terror attacks on November 13,14 2015 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack on July 14, 2016 in an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1] This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS. The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice.
Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.
It’s only a matter of time before there will be further jihad attacks in France. It’s not if but when another violent and deadly Islamic terror attack or attacks will happen .

Terrible to think that it needs a couple more killings to tip the balance in Marines favour, so sad that it takes something like that, to make things start to go in the right direction from the top down.
Walter Sieruk says
This France major used the term “radical Islam.”
Many scholars on Islam ,such as Brigitte Gabriel and Robert Spencer, had explain that the terms “Radical Islam” and “Moderate Islam” Western terms and are unknown to the Islamic world. As one of their leader said “Islam is Islam”
Furthermore, a Muslim in an Islamic country would view that a Westerner would call a “Radical Muslim” in a Muslim nation he would be seen as a “devote Muslim” who is totally committed to the cause of Islam by the way of the violent jihad,
By contrast what a Westerner would call a “moderate Muslim’ many Muslims in Asia as well as the Middle East call a Muslim who is not really living up to his faith in Islam by not taking up arms in the violence and killing of the jihad for Islam.
Therefore many of Muslim, overseas , would call him a “hypocrite” This is way many devote Muslim who are violent jihadists gather together in a group and chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites ” Meaning “Death to non-Muslims and non-violent, jihadist Muslims.

Islam is the enemy of the free world. PERIOD! No such thing as moderate islam. When you allow islam to cross your borders and infiltrate your country and society you are allowing an enemy invasion. Islamx goal is to dominate the world, PERIOD.
