Al-Qaeda is considerably emboldened lately. What could have changed over the last seven or eight months to account for that? “Terrorism Threat: Al-Qaeda Threatens France, Police Warn Public to be Vigilant (Video),” by Amy Mek, RAIR Foundation, July 24, 2021: While French police call for citizens to be vigilant, Macron’s open borders policies have remained […]
France: Muslim cleric is dismissed at the behest of the Interior Minister for quoting the Qur’an and Hadith
Surah Ahzab is the 33rd chapter of the Qur’an. This story doesn’t say what Mmadi Ahamada actually quoted from the Qur’an and Hadith, but if quoting the Qur’an and Hadith can get you removed as an imam in France, what do French authorities think other imams are quoting? The Bhagavad Gita? The firing of Mmadi […]
France: Soldiers’ new letter says ‘survival’ of nation at stake because of Macron’s ‘concessions’ to ‘Islamism’
The first letter gained widespread attention as well as a rebuke from French President Emmanuel Macron for warning that appeasement of “radical Islam” was leading to “civil war.” It was signed by 25 retired Generals and “1000 officials of different rank and files in the military, police and gendarmerie,” who stated that they could not […]
France: Over 1,000 illegal Muslim migrants on French anti-terror watch list
Over 1,000 illegal immigrants are registered on the Terrorist Radicalisation Prevention Report Index (FSRPT), an anti-terrorism watchlist in France. And they list “individuals who are thought to be religiously radicalised.” In other words, they are Muslim migrants. This is the breakdown, provided by Interior Minster Gerald Darmanin: “25 per cent…. are Algerians and 20 per […]
France: Interior Minister says ‘French Muslims are the first to fall victim to Islamists’
It would be interesting to see how Darmanin distinguishes Islamism from Islam, and explains how the latter has ever existed without its political and supremacist manifestations, but it is unlikely that he does so, or will be asked to do so. Jihadis justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims by claiming to be the […]
France: Mosque that was closed after beheading of teacher over Muhammad cartoon reopens
It has a new imam. What other steps have been taken to ensure that it won’t preach jihad violence and Sharia blasphemy laws now? Nothing of that kind has been done, of course. “New start for Paris mosque closed after teacher’s murder,” The New Arab, April 9, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): A […]
France: Interior minister calls for reopening of mosque implicated in teacher’s beheading
The resignation of M’hammed Henniche as rector of the north Paris Pantin mosque and the nomination of new board members does not give any adequate assurance to justify the reopening of Paris Pantin mosque. Any mosque where “some associates” were involved in the beheading of a teacher for “blasphemy” needs a thorough investigation. There is […]
Marine Le Pen ‘stunned’ as Macron’s interior minister accuses her of being ‘too soft’ on Islam
In a surprising row between Macron’s interior minister Gérald Darmanin and Marine Le Pen, who is branded as “far right,” Darmanin said Le Pen’s “efforts to rebrand the National Rally party had led to a watering down of her hardline position that would ‘disappoint’ her base.” Le Pen was left “defending the rights of Muslims […]
French Interior Minister: ‘Islamism, the most powerful ideology in the world, has deprived Islam of its voice’
This is apparently a summary of Darmanin’s upcoming publication. In any case, it would be interesting to see how Darmanin distinguishes Islamism from Islam, and explains how the latter has ever existed without its political and supremacist manifestations, but it is unlikely that he does so, or will be asked to do so. Jihadis justify […]
France closes nine mosques as part of ‘decisive steps against the Islamist separatism’
This is being denounced as “racist” and “Islamophobic,” but it really shouldn’t be remotely controversial. If any churches were found to be “breeding grounds of terrorism,” they should be closed as well. Religious freedom is not a license to break other laws. “France closes 9 places of worship under campaign against Islamic extremism: Report,” ANI, […]
