French lessons (David Horowitz blogs about France and a Frenchman Responds)

The Muslim riots in France, orchestrated by cell phones and a political directorate that has spread the violence not only across France but across Europe, is an obvious escalation of the Islamic jihad that seeks to conquer the infidel world for the Muslim faith. It would be unkind to say that the French deserve it, but they do. This is the country that has done more to sabotage the war on Islamic terror and Muslim imperialism than any other. It has relentlessly preached appeasement of the enemy and condemnation of us, as the chief obstacle to Islamic despotism. It was the French who sabotaged the efforts to contain Saddam peacefully and prevent him from developing a weapons laboratory for his terrorist allies. The left is still propagating the deadly lies that Saddam was 1) a secularist who did not support al-Qaeda, 2) who had no role in the Islamic attacks on the United States that began with the blowing up of the World Trade Center in 1993, 3) who did not provide Iraqi soil and protection to Islamic terrorists like Zarqawi, and 4) whose plans to build a weapons of mass destruction arsenal to use against the United States and its allies were not thrwarted by the war of March 2003. All of these lies of the left have been thoroughly refuted, yet they go on.

Where are the apoligies by all those liberals and leftists who pointed fingers at the Spanish and British saying, "If you had not supported the United States' war in Iraq you would not be under attack now? The French were Saddam's and Islam's closest allies in the West. Yet France is now the target of an Islamic jihad that is destroying the fabric of French society. The lesson for slow-witted liberals is this: The Islamic imperialists don't give a fig for what you do or what you say or what you believe in their behalf. They are holy warriors. You are infidels. You will convert or die.

History will judge harshly the saboteurs of George Bush's war to defend the West against radical Islam. As a result of Bush's offensive, Osama bin Laden and his henchmen are already effectively dead.That is the only reason 300 million Americans have been safe from attack since 9/11. What is Osama's role in the terror of the post 9/11, post-Afghanistan invasion years? So far as we know it is nil. The Bush war team has driven bin Laden into an exile from which there is no return. He orchestrates nothing; he is nothing, but a symbol kept alive by his al-Qaeda cohorts and his anti-Bush allies in the West. So another deadly liberal lie, designed to weaken the support for the West's war against terror is exploded: that the war in Iraq is a distraction from the war on terror. Just the opposite is true: the war in Iraq is the key to the war on terror. Imagine if Iraq was controlled by Zarqawi which is what Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan fervently wish for, and what Howard Dean and Ted Kennedy would accomplish. What do you think a Zarawai who was not pinned down by U.S. soldiers and marines would do with the Intifada in France? What would Saddam do (if the peace movement had been successful in keeping him in power)? Does anyone doubt he would give as much support to the Intifiadists in Europe as he did to the suicide bombers in Israel?

The French have even tried Jew- and Israel-bashing to appease the Islamic Jew-haters. It didn't work. The reason it didn't work is because Jew-hating is only the beginning of their sick fundamentalist creed. They hate Christians and Hindus and atheists too, and even Muslims who do not subscribe to their Islamo-fascist faith.

These are the lessons of France. The question is: will the French and all the other appeasers learn them now?

Comment submitted by jean Razous in regards to blog entry: French lessons

Dear sir, I`m a Frenchman and a teacher near Lyon. I knew I loved the Usa before 9/11 but I definitely knew where I stood for after 9/11. I`m on your side. I supported W`s liberation of Irak and even though you`re not very kind for the French on your web site I must admit I`m glad you`re there. The events now happening here and the usual solutions brought about or explanations given make me sick. The Marxist rhetoric is still on, and as a teacher in a public school I know what I `m talking about. Thank you for being there, I still love things here but sometimes I wish I were an American. I am one in my heart. I support your troops and I thank them for protecting my liberty. best regards. Jean from Lyon

If you only count men under 30 years old (fighting age) I think in many areas of France, the muslims out number the Frenchmen.

Their situation is dire indeed.

The demographics aren't the scariest part, its the rot in the soul part that means doom.

"These are the lessons of France. The question is: will the French and all the other appeasers learn them now?"

Of course not, they betrayed the Czechs and Poles in WW2 and learned nothing from the consequences. We should not save France again - never reinforce failure.

[Fenris6]

"If you only count men under 30 years old (fighting age) I think in many areas of France, the muslims out number the Frenchmen."

The ratio countrywide is 1:1, and even worse when you consider that French Army is "matchless".

exactly

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

[Earthdweller]

If it were not for the nukes they have in france I would say let the appeasers have their jihad and eat it too.

Since the french seem so h@ll bound to become an Islamic state the best of both worlds would be to just send in weapons inspectors to france now and start disarming them.

I feel so sorry for the man who responded to Horowitz's column.

On October 25th,

1. Iraq's constitution was officially validated and
2. French Muslims finally realized that France doesn't really give a hoot about the rights of Muslims to control their own lives, but only believes in appeasement.

On October 27th, large scale rioting began.

There still are those French whose deserve our support. While France as a nation - and its government do deserve every bit of thoughtful criticism they get, there are those who, like US conservatives in 1977 feel as though they out in the wilderness. They do deserve our support.

Increasingly, nationality means less and less to me. I find I have much more in common with Jean Francois Revel - a Frenchman than I do with Micheal Moore who is American. I have much more in common with Mark Steyn - who is Canadian, than I do with John Kerry, is American.

So to Jean from Lyon I can only say - don't get too discouraged by the mindless bashing. It is a reaction to the malicious America-bashing coming out of Europe these days. Some are more responsible than others in expressing our frustration with it. There are many of us who recognize that what you believe is far more significant than where you were born or happen to reside. I for one and more inclined to stand wit a Frenchman who believes in freedom and liberty than I am prepared to stand behind an American 'progressive'.

Dear Jean from Lyon:

You are right, you are an American in your heart because America is more than a country, it is an idea. If things get too tough for you over there, you would be welcome here.
