France Shuts Down Mosques, Bans Foreign Funders
Jewish Press ^ | August 16th, 2016 | Hana Levi Julian

France has shut down at least 20 mosques and now has banned foreign funding of the Islamic houses of worship as well.

At least 20 of the 120 Salafi mosques in the country have been shut down in France since December 2015.

But in the wake of a third radical Islamist terror attack, last month Prime Minister Manuel Valls called for a ban on foreign funding on Islamic mosques altogether. Nor would Valls say how long that ban would last.

A few days later, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve met with Muslim leaders about the ban, and explained it was time to put an end to incitement once and for all.

Speaking with reporters after the meeting, Cazeneuve was quoted by The Washington Post as saying, “There is no place in France for those who call for and incite hatred in prayer halls or in mosques.”

French Muslims are deeply concerned that government officials will tag their community as being friendly to terrorists. Marwan Muhammad, the director of the Collective Against Islamophobia in France, told The Post, “It gives the idea that mosques have something to do with terrorism.”

All told, at present there are more than two thousand mosques in France.

This article gave me a wonderful vision of a bulldozer with mosques stamped on the side of it for all the buildings it leveled.

Salafists are, by definition, violent and virulent.

Salafists are Muslim fundamentalists.
Back to basics types, who want to practice the religion the way Muhammad did, and the way the Caliphs immediately following Muhammad did.

Wahhabis are a good example of Muslim fundamentalists.
They will kill other Muslims who alter Muhammad's beliefs and practices as quick as they will kill us Infidels.
That's why so many so-called Muslim heretics get killed by Salafists.

IMHO, unfortunately for us Infidels, the Salafists have the correct interpretation of Islam as layed out in the Koran and Hadiths, and as interpreted and practiced by Muhammad. -Tom

True.

Glick analyzed al-Qaradawi’s speeches/messages and noticed that he’s arguing for a combination of Salafism and Wahabbism.

This piece was from the time of the Arab Spring.

I hate seeing such weakness. Do what needs to be done now. (repatriation, going back a generation or two) or it will be much more painful.

War will sort it out.

Only two options.

Everything else is just prolonging the agony.

ISIS is basically a combination of Salafism and Wahhabism.

The Salafist influence works against Saudi Arabia because the Wahabbis respect Saudi Kings as being legitimate.
ISIS does not agree with that point and therefore poses a threat to Saudi Arabia's ruling class.

Things are very complicated in Muslim infighting.
One of the things they do agree on, is they should be killing us Kafirs who won't convert to Islam. -Tom

“ISIS is basically a combination of Salafism and Wahhabism.”

Exactly.

And, this merger is tightening. Scares the $hit out of me.

Why is it only we few understand this, here on FR and in some other, conservative places? There is no way to kill people that these monsters will not use. Disemboweling people right there on the concert hall floor in Paris, boiling people in hot tar, slicing off genitals and raping to death, beheading, and on and on.

They understand total war in a medieval sense. And our so-called leaders won’t even name the enemy.

Meanwhile, Shia and Sunna kill each other with abandon and destroy Christians and others en masse.

0bama/State/UN is bringing them HERE. If we do not stop this, we shall be overrun.

I believe it is because of our leaders, political, military and religious don't want to face the unsettling facts about Islam.
That keeps us shallow Americans off guard and unable to fathom Islam.

Most of us have a Christian mamby pamby girlyboy outlook on life and can't believe anyone could look at life and salvation so differently from us, as the Muslims do.

Rather then take forceful action against Muslims , Christian thinking will avoid action against Muslims and replace it with prayers.

We try to make Islam conform to our version of what supernatural beings, and religion is all about.
Muslims believe differently, and have taken advantage of our naiveness for 1400 years. -Tom

If you say, “Nuke Mecca”, ISIS would agree.
