"I'm the prophet you fool" - "Shut your trap infidel!"
And today two of those "French nationals"returned from Syria mudered 12 people in Paris.
Sigh. We, the little nobodies, keep waiting for someone to do something. Plenty has been written and said, nothing has been done.
Open the door to the devil and he will walk in.
The french public is ALL against muslim immigration yet they keep voting in socialist politicians to power who keep letting in more and more muslims.
Their free sh*t is worth more to them than their culture, identity and daughters...

“The moslems were created by evil. They de-evolved. They rebelled against Christ. There are many copies (moderates and radicals). And they have a plan.”
Battlestar Galactica opening title cards re-worded....and it makes sense!
Now that we need you, Charles Martel, where are you?
Charles Martel was de facto ruler of Francia from 718 until his death in 741. In the Battle of Tours, which made its stand on the banks of the River Garonne, Charles threw back the invading Saracens.
In 721, the emir of Córdoba had built up a strong army from Morocco, Yemen, and Syria to conquer Aquitaine, the large duchy in the southwest of Gaul, nominally under Frankish sovereignty, but in practice almost independent in the hands of the Odo the Great, the Duke of Aquitaine, since the Merovingian kings had lost power. The invading Muslims besieged the city of Toulouse, then Aquitaine’s most important city, and Odo immediately left to find help.
He returned three months later just before the city was about to surrender and defeated the Muslim invaders on June 9, 721, at what is now known as the Battle of Toulouse. This critical defeat was essentially the result of a classic enveloping movement by Odo’s forces. After Odo originally fled, the Muslims became overconfident and failed to maintain strong outer defenses and continuous scouting. Thus, when Odo returned, he was able to launch a near complete surprise attack on the besieging force, scattering it at the first attack, and slaughtering units caught resting or that fled without weapons or armor.
By 730 the emir of Cordoba was Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, who had been at Toulouse. The Arab Chronicles make clear he had strongly opposed the Emir’s decision not to secure outer defenses against a relief force, which allowed Odo and his relief force to attack with impunity before the Islamic cavalry could assemble or mount. This time the Umayyad horsemen were ready for battle, and the results were horrific for the Aquitanians.
Odo, hero of Toulouse, was badly defeated in the Muslim invasion of 732 at the battle prior to the Muslim sacking of Bordeaux, and again at the Battle of the River Garonne after he had gathered a second army—Christian chroniclers state, “God alone knows the number of the slain”— and the city of Bordeaux was sacked and looted. Odo fled to Charles, seeking help. Charles agreed to come to Odo’s rescue, provided Odo acknowledged Charles and his house as his overlords, which Odo did formally at once. Odo and his remaining Aquitanian nobles formed the right flank of Charles’s forces at Tours. Charles defeated the Moors commanded by Abderame; while the former and the latter squared off in battle, Odo set fire to the encampment of the latter.
Many historians believe that had Charles and Odo failed at Tours, Islam would probably have overrun Gaul, and perhaps the remainder of Western Europe. The Umayyad armies would have conquered from Japan to the Rhine, and even England, having the English Channel for protection, with ease, had Martel not prevailed.
The Battle of Tours was a very significant event in the history of Europe and Christianity.
A Muslim France nearly happened. But as a result of Martel’s fierce opposition, which ended Muslim advances and set the stage for centuries of war thereafter, Islam moved no farther into Europe. European schoolchildren learn about the Battle of Tours in much the same way that American students learn about Valley Forge and Gettysburg.
