Remember this the next time you hear an Islamic spokesman dismiss the violent passages in the Qur’an by saying they apply only to the time of Muhammad. “[Video] ‘Cut off their heads as in the time of the prophet’: Marine Le Pen and Eric Zemmour threatened with beheading on the Internet,” translated from “[Vidéo] “Leur […]
Eric Zemmour’s Phenomenal Political Rise
The writer, essayist, polemicist, journalist, and television personality Eric Zemmour, the author of two brilliant bestsellers — Le Suicide français and the just-published La France n’a pas dit son dernier mot, or “France hasn’t said its last word,” which sold 200,000 copies the first week it appeared in French bookstores — has been upsetting all […]
France: Eric Zemmour Now Pulls Ahead of Marine Le Pen
The latest Harris poll has just released its results, and Eric Zemmour, coming out of nowhere as a political figure, has pulled ahead of Marine Le Pen. The latest heartening news is here: “Zemmour seen breaking Macron-Le Pen duopoly in 2022 French election – poll,” Reuters, October 6, 2021: The hard-right political talk-show star […]
France: The Rise of Eric Zemmour
In half a year, the French presidential primary will be held, and the two candidates with the most votes will then face off against each other. Until a few months ago, it was assumed that Marine Le Pen would be the candidate of the Islamocritical right. But now someone much more formidable, long known to […]
France: Muslim harasses, spits upon critic of Islam on Paris street
“The author Pierre Duriot (FB, 01.05) notices that monsieur Haram does not make it difficult for the police to track him down: ‘This means that he is convinced of his impunity.’” French authorities, like authorities all over the West, cower in fear of their rapidly growing and increasingly restive Muslim populations, and so the perpetrator […]
Eric Zemmour, Who Demands – and Deserves – To Be Heard
The noted French writer, essayist, and broadcast journalist Eric Zemmour, the most famous public intellectual in France, was invited in late September to a meeting in Paris organized by supporters of Marion Marechal, the daughter of Marine Le Pen, and herself a former deputy in the French Assembly, routinely – and inaccurately – described as […]
Sharia France: Islamocritic Eric Zemmour guilty of “Islamophobia” for saying France “colonized” by Muslims
Iran’s state-controlled Press TV here says that Zemmour “was convicted for saying that France has been ‘colonized’ by Muslims, even though colonization is done by a group with power, whereas France’s Muslims are on the bottom of the nation’s social ladder.” Yes, of course. This is indeed a historically unprecedented type of colonization. But the […]
French journalist: “Innumerable neighborhoods” in France are “ruled by Islamic law”
Zemmour is enunciating what everyone has known for years, but which it has been forbidden to say. The Mayor of Paris even threatened a few years ago to sue Fox News for saying that there were no-go zones in France. She did not, of course, ever actually bring suit. “Innumerable French neighbourhoods are Islamised and […]
Robert Spencer: The West Adopts Sharia Blasphemy Laws
My latest over at the Geller Report: Pakistan’s The Nation reported Saturday that a Christian has been arrested for criticizing Muhammad. That is the sort of thing that happens frequently in a state that enforces Sharia blasphemy laws, but in Europe and North America, we are more enlightened. We value the freedom of speech, and […]
Sharia France: Do not dare to criticize Islam
All over the West, authorities are adopting Sharia values criminalizing (or at very least stigmatizing) criticism of Islam, in the vain hope that ending such criticism will result in an end to the global jihad. They’re in for a rude surprise, but by then it will be far too late. “In France, do not dare […]
