Are France's Muslim migrant rioters engaged in jihad?
American Thinker ^ | 3 Jul, 2023 | Monica Showalter

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 (The Wikipedia page on immigration to France is outdated.)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...

I see it more as bored, lazy, entitled punks raising hell for the fun of it but it hardly matters if it accomplishes the same thing.

When everyone is Muslim then there will be peace. So it’s not really a lie :)

It was impossible to see coming. I mean, millions of fighting age Muslim men settling in countries across Europe with enough women to out breed their hosts.

Imagine the shock when we teach them and our own kids that we, as in western culture, should feel guilty for all of our past sins and empires, which also teaches them to hate us more.

Imagine knowing that their perfect human example, Mohammed, which is their most common name, murdered and raped his way to conquests but then insist that there’s nothing to worry about.

Who could have possibly thought these western nations would see rape statistics go through the roof. Or worse, that they’d form ‘rape gangs’ and target young minor girls.

Who would ever have imagined that without any passport or documentation they might be criminals and/or jihadis?

And it goes without saying, Islam is a religion of peace. We know this because they told us so.

So with all that said, it’s unthinkable that they might have been planning a Trojan Horse attack. That, at some point, they’d have enough numbers to take over from within - that they don’t even need to bother with armies and military battles...they just need to say they’re ‘refugees’ and we’ll let enough of them in.

Now - can you imagine that ANYONE could be this naive? Even now, the left will say it is our fault, we didn’t give them enough. They don’t understand this was the only inevitable outcome and the only thing standing between them and an Islamic beheading is a Christian....whom they hate.

Let the chips fall.

One of my favorite ancestors, Charles Martel, stirs in his grave. He’s itching to re-fight the Battle of Tours.
