We may not be interested in jihad, but jihad is still interested in France — and the rest of us, too.
Jihad seems so passé in the wake of Joe Biden's disastrous Afghanistan pullout, which not only took U.S. forces out of the region, but seems to have emboldened Russia and China.
But to paraphrase the famous saying, it also may be that we are not interested in jihad, but jihad is still interested in us.
The example of France with its mass rioting, which has since spread to Belgium and Switzerland, gives one pause.
What do we know about the rioters?
Well, they are deracinated youth from the French underclass, Muslim migrants and the children of Muslim migrants who live in the bleak, ugly banlieue suburbs of Paris, where a generous welfare system ensures they don't need and don't want jobs, which for many leaves them without purpose, too. Hatred for France, resistance to assimilation, and their own criminal activity pretty well keep them in the underclass. They rioted before in 2005 over claims of racial discrimination, and they will probably riot again. France has no idea what to do about them except coddle them more. France's president is no longer mentioning that they even are migrants, let alone Muslims.
But the role of jihad from abroad shouldn't be dismissed, either, given that France has seen considerable new immigration from jihad-infested countries.
According to INSEE, the French statistical institute, migration to France from the Maghreb and sub-Saharan African countries is up since the end of the COVID pandemic lockdowns. (The Wikipedia page on immigration to France is outdated.) African immigrants, according to its bar chart, constitute 47.5% of all immigrants in France as of 2021, the last date for which data are available, and form the largest group...

Why are leftist democRATs not worried about jihad?
“..Why are leftist democRATs not worried about jihad?...”
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” sorta thing...
Maybe they like the idea of throwing people off rooftops.
“The example of France with its mass rioting, which has since spread to Belgium and Switzerland, gives one pause.”
That was the intent of the migration of the muzzies AND for us now with the illegals.
Its starting to feel a little like jihad. 😏
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. NO spoiler dang it. 🤔😳👍
Is the Pope a Communist?
Do one legged ducks swim in circles?
*wink wink*
The obamian nation said Islam is a part of America’s history. Simple.
Truth is Carlos the Jackal penned it the best by saying that neither Islam nor Marxism could not bring the west down, but an alliance of the two could.
That summary is a global objective embraced by many.
If they’re in America, I call them obamanites.
I've noted the alliance, for a while.
Always felt that the islamists would use the neomarxists, until the goal of domination was reached, then discard them.
The goal, of both islamists and neomarxists is the destruction of Judeo Christian Western Civilization, which is the greatest obstacle to the implementation of world wide, one world government of the marxist variety.
“And if you don’t believe me, I’ll put a Jihad on you too!”
Maybe you have the makings of a ramadan song: “It’s beginning to look a lot like Jee-had — everywhere you go...”
Aren’t armies supposed to kill enemies on their soil?
Yes is the answer & for everyone’s information nothing says FU to jinadis running amok in the streets like airburst artillery.
Only one problem if the obamanites get their way ; who is going to give them progress, achievement and advancement? Both of them are tribal based systems which are not capable of generating viable solutions for today’s problems, let alone the future. Both are parasites of western Christian man’s technological achievements
Yes.
And why do they need to ask.
😅
The purpose of jihad is to create an environment where non Muslims submit to the rules of Islam.
Anything which intimidate non Muslims into submission is part of jihad.
The French insurrection is jihad.
