French President Macron:
We should never mix up peaceful protesters with looters and rioters, because there are people who rightfully feel that fuel prices are going too high. It’s because of the Iran war. https://t.co/B6KGENm78I

He likely knows what a stupid and asinine analysis this is, but he can’t note the Islamic character of the riots without opening himself up to charges of “Islamophobia” and aiding the narrative of his political enemies. And so we get this nonsense instead.
somehistory says
As Charlie Brown would say, “Good grief.”
Blame Mr. Trump because the muzzies he has welcomed into France are showing their true intentions.
muzzies take every advantage….rising prices are not the reasons…islime is the reason. Blame islime.
Dave says
He is too scared to that.
gravenimage says
Yes, just absurd. Of course, Muslim violence is the fault of President Trump (and no doubt the Jews…).
Dave says
Macron is nothing but a toothless little dog yapping all the time.
His country is burning. What will he do about it?
Answer:….
Nothing.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Speaking of Iran, as I mentioned in the EU parliament story, the islamic republic has issued an advisory to its people against visiting Paris, and if they are already there, to stay away from the rioters

Good grief…yep, can’t make that stuff up.
Pray Hard says
Putz.
Troybeam says
Blame whomever you can, democrats rule. No accountability whatsoever.
When the Muslims begin to destroy the Louvre, the palaces, all history of France the government will let it happen, the French have never learned from history.
Greg Conway says
Maybe the French people will learn not to vote for Left wing parties because their country is burning because of leftwing policies.The people of Australia are the same they voted the communist government back in for a 2nd term knowing just how bad they are.

Macron: Rioting is due to high fuel prices that Iran war caused
……………………………………………….
These riots supposedly started about school staffing–now they are about high fuel prices, even though most students do not drive?
So far, I have also seen this attributed to inflation and possible state pending cuts.
You don’t shoot teachers, burn down schools and city halls, loot, and scrawl violent supremacist Islamic graffiti about killing Jews because fuel prices are too high. Just risible.
And these riots are spreading to other countries–are these also protests over possible French spending cuts?
England Invaded says
Stop sending us your third world shit you frog slime bag.

Maybe time to shut down the Chunnel. It was good while it lasted (I think!)
gravenimage says
My mother and aunt served in the British army during WWII as young women–they both thought that the Chunnel might not be the best idea, because it might facilitate an invasion of Britain from the continent. Well, sadly they turned out to be right.
James Lincoln says
Macron: a sorry excuse for a man with absolutely no backbone.
GE says
Is there a comment yet from the pope condemning the arson, violence, looting. assaults, etc?? No? I guess he’s too upset with the US for the upcoming execution of Nidal Hassan, to speak out on the destruction of a whole country–
somehistory says
He just got out of the hospital where he was operated on for lung cancer. The last thing I saw, he still has the cancer.
But, that probably hasn’t made a dent in his character….to still root for the muzzies and put down the Christians, even after asking the crowds in Rome to pray for him.
GE says
I don’t wish lung cancer on anybody, and I’ll pray for his recovery. But like you said, doubts that it will change his outlook.
Best wishes to you and your family–
gravenimage says
Agreed, GE.
gravenimage says
Somehistory and GE, as of now it looks as though the operation got all of the cancer, and the pontiff is cancer-free.
I am glad to hear it–I hope the Pope now gives more care to Chistians and other victims of Jihad terror–but sadly, I will not holding my breath.
gravenimage says
GE, I know that French Catholic Bishops have condemned the riots (although I don’t think they have said anything about violent Muslims). But so far as I know the Pope has been silent.
tgusa says
French President Macron: Would it be too much to ask that you do your job little man? I guess so.
Tim gallagher says
I just looked it up and Frances presidential election is in April next year. With this pathetic creature going to a concert while the riots were raging and now saying this crap, he has to be gone. Surely enough french citizens will throw the useless Macron out.
gravenimage says
I hope so, Tim. Le Pen is still leading in the polls–although there is a far-left candidate who might be evern worse than Macron:

Tim gallagher says
Well, I always support democracy and only democracy, gravenimage, and the people get the government they deserve in a democracy. If the french vote for Macron or the far left candidate, I would give up on France. Of course, any country is in big trouble when they have 8 percent Muslims. Here in Australia voting is compulsory, you get a fine if you don’t vote. Of course you can write rubbish on the ballot paper when in the booth. Australians have got the leftist Labor government they deserve. I certainly didn’t vote for Labor so I can say, well don’t blame me. I feel Macron, by going to that concert, surely must be finished. Showed he didn’t give a damn.
gravenimage says
Agreed. But while I am a great advocate of voting, and have voted in every election since I was 18, I do not actually believe that it should be *illegal* not to vote–I think it should be up to the individual. One thing I disagree with Australia on.
Troybeam says
Who is running the country: Macron the leader or the little boy who married his teacher maybe taking advice from the older spouse. (sarc)
