75% say they support Samuel Paty, but they don’t want to end up like him; hence the self-censorship. Given this widespread fear and self-abnegation, what will France be like in five years? Ten? Twenty? “Secularism: over 4 in 10 teachers say they have already self-censored, according to a survey,” translated from “Laïcité: plus de 4 […]
Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar: Nothing should be more important than waging jihad in Allah’s way
“Reactions in the Muslim world to the recent publication of the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in the French magazine Charlie Hebdo were very harsh.” This was clearly evident, but it should serve as an exhibit of what normative Islam teaches regarding the penalty for blasphemy. Those who proclaim that Islam is inherently a “religion […]
France: Before beheading man for Muhammad cartoon, Muslim migrant asked for prayers and ‘help from Allah’
One would almost get the idea that Abdoullakh Anzorov’s act had something to do with Islam, if it weren’t for French authorities assuring us that Islam is wonderful in every way, and it’s only “distortions” of it that should cause anyone any concern. The challenge that French authorities face in this is convincing people like […]
France: Emails before beheading of teacher for showing cartoon show that his colleagues didn’t support him
This cowardice and impulse to surrender in the face of jihadist intimidation and threats is pandemic in the West. “‘We are all teachers’? Revealing the school emails preceding Paty’s beheading,” by Giulio Meotti, Arutz Sheva, December 9, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): “Je suis enseignant”, we are all teachers, says the slogan brandished […]
France: Tributes to beheaded teacher receive nearly 800 threats and justifications of jihad violence
It’s now mid-December, some distance from the beheading of French high school teacher Samuel Paty for “blasphemy” against Muhammad, and while tempers flared legitimately over the plan — which involved students and parents — to murder Paty, Sharia-style, in a country founded upon freedom of expression, those who applauded Paty’s murder appear to be undeterred. […]
France: High school student criticizes Islam, Muslim responds, ‘I swear to Allah, I will slit your throat’
If Macron is serious about enforcing “republican values” in France, which is by no means clear, he is likely to find that the “political Islam” he has criticized is far more deeply embedded than he thinks. “Harassment: after virulent comments about Islam, teenagers threatened with death,” translated from “Harcèlement : après des propos virulents sur […]
France: Teacher reports that a third of her students say ‘It is not normal to criticize Islam’
What do you think France will be like when these students grow up? “TESTIMONY. After Samuel Paty’s assassination, ‘a third of my students are contesting the curriculum,’” translated from “TÉMOIGNAGE. Après l’assassinat de Samuel Paty, ‘un tiers de mes élèves conteste les programmes,’” by Arnaud Bélier, Ouest-France, November 16, 2020 (thanks to Mason): A month […]
France: Muslim teen asks classmates to send death threats to teacher, says ‘I am going to make her a Samuel Paty’
This young man was acting upon beliefs he likely learned at home, beliefs that are relentlessly ingrained and based on Islam’s death penalty for blasphemy. Does Emmanuel Macron really think he can institute some kind of program that will lead young men like this one to give up these deeply held beliefs? France is ultimately […]
France: Muslims write on walls of two schools ‘You are all dead, you are all dead. Samuel Paty. Allah Akbar.’
French authorities, meanwhile, continue to refuse to confront the fact that mainstream Islam has a death penalty for blasphemy, and thus this kind of behavior is not the province solely of “extremists.” “Le Bouscat: new death threats inscribed on the facades of two schools,” translated from “Le Bouscat : de nouvelles menaces de mort inscrites […]
France: Muslims threaten to kill Socialist mayor, Facebook says the threats don’t violate their community standards
A Socialist. What do you bet that Stéphane Raffali believes that Islam is a religion of peace, that “Islamophobia” is the real problem, and that “refugees” are not dangerous, but in danger, and that only “racists” oppose mass Muslim migration into France? Yet his flirting with violation of Sharia blasphemy laws by lionizing a man […]
