Sometimes, novels are prophetic. I am thinking of George Orwell and Jean Raspail who both imagined life in the late 20th and early 21st century. Raspail is the novelist who imagined that a dark-skinned barbarian horde would take over France. His work, The Camp of the Saints(1973) was originally condemned as racist. Slowly, over time, European government leaders began reading his novel and consulting with Raspail. I have written about his work before HERE and HERE in my book, The Death of Feminism.
In January of 2006, Ilan Halimi was brutally tortured for three full weeks in Paris by gangs of African Muslim immigrant torturers. The media did not describe them as Muslims, but rather as youth, militants, gang-members, immigrants, and immigrants from Africa. Neighbors took turns and joined in torturing Halimi. Other neighbors heard his screams and did nothing. Some came to watch. Halimi died on February 13, 2006. The ringleader of the gang, Youssouf Fofana fled to Ivory Coast in Africa but was extradited back to France. He and 18 others are facing a trial in his torture and murder. American expatriate journalist, Nidra Poller, has written about this horrific case.
Now, a visibly Jewish, kipah-wearing 17 year-old, Rudy Haddad, walking in a Jewish quarter, was set upon by 15-30 African immigrants. No one is saying whether they are Muslims or not. Alright, Martians from Africa beat Haddad with iron bars and fractured his skull. Haddad, like Halimi, and like their attackers, are also of African or possibly Arab descentas was Sebastien Selam who was murdered in Paris in 2003. Haddad has just come out of a medically induced coma. According to a Jewish Telegraphic Agency report:
While French officials were quick to condemn the attack, most fell short of identifying the crime as anti-Semitic, saying the police first needed to complete their ongoing investigation. French President Nicolas Sarkozy told reporters while visiting Israel this week that he was particularly shocked by what happened to a young French boy, on the pretext that he was wearing a kipah, the AFP news agency reported. In an initial presidential statement Sunday, Sarkozy denounced the attack but did not draw such conclusions. Read the JTA REPORT, HERE.
However, various representatives of the French Jewish community have denounced this horrific crime as anti-Semitic which, when last I checked, is also considered a form of racism.
So, where are all the anti-racists now? I hear no condemnations. The silence is chilling. And all too predictable. Where are the mainstream media? Where is FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and the International Herald Tribune? (Only ABC ran a Reuters 190 word story earlier today). When I googled this story, the first three pages consisted of stories filed by small bloggers and mainly by Jewish and Israeli media. (Military Photos carried a story as well). But where are The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times? For heavens sake: Where is Le Soir, Le Monde, and Figaro? Has Frances Channel 2 covered this?
Arguably, Channel 2 bears a great responsibility here for that is the channel that broadcast the fake murder of Mohammed al-Dura and that sued for defamation when Philippe Karsenty described the coverage as a hoax. As we all know, the French Court found that Karsentys criticism was not libelous. Charles Enderlin, of Channel 2, has vowed to appeal this decision and has gotten 300 of his journalist-buddies to form a circle of support for him.
I think that Haddads grieving family and the Chabad community (to which Haddad was apparently connected since he was on his way to pray at the Beth Chaya Mouchka Lubavitch synagogue), might explore a lawsuit (or at least a demonstration) against the state-owned Channel 2 and against Enderlin. If you think this is a far-fetched suggestion, please consider the other options.
Indeed, what is to be done? Do Jews world-wide, beginning in Europe, and particularly in the 19th arondissement in Paris, need Israeli Defense Forces to guard them as they walk to Parisian synagogues?
Do French police officers need to guard individual Jews just as they have been forced to guard each and every synagogue and Jewish Center ever since Palestinian terrorist leader Yaser Arafat began his murderous campaign in the late 1960s of airplane hijackings, hostage taking, and synagogue and airport bombings, etc.?
Must France, and for that matter, all Europe, start deporting African and/or Muslim immigrants? (Oh I can just hear the civil libertarians shutting down their minds. Even Im slightly queasy about this suggestion). Or must France consider deporting only African and/or Muslim immigrant gang-members? (What if a gang member reforms and is rehabilitated and we deport him back to a country which practices torture and kidnaps young children as soldiers in their barbarian armies?) Well then, how about deporting African Muslim immigrant gang members who have previously been convicted of violent crimes? (But you cant hold someones past against them, it may not predict their future, they may turn over a new leaf, etc.) Alright, then. What is the magic formula that will allow Europeans to act against the barbarians in their midst without having to live with something that is worse than barbarism, namely, that most-dreaded of accusations: Racism?
Clearly, Europe is willing to sacrifice its Jews to African immigrant and/or to Muslim barbarism. Will it prove willing to allow secularists or Christians to also be sacrificed to barbarism as well?
The media will not cover Muslim on Jewish violence.....just as they won’t report the race of a criminal suspect in the US unless it’s white.
That’s the way it is.
And Muslims raped a 21 year old girl in Brussels. I think Islam is NOT a religion of peace. The article about the raped girl, raped for not wearing a veil, said in the comments, that we must react to Allah Akbar as we do to Sieg Heil.
“Must France, and for that matter, all Europe, start deporting African and/or Muslim immigrants?”
Yes.
Yes they must.
But only if they want to survive.

Is this sarcasm, or is the European attitude really that being called a racist is worse than being tortured to death?
This politically correct crap that we see infecting the MSM has to stop. Newspapers are dying left and right and they wonder why. True, France has to be careful because it's let itself be governed by the Muslim minority, but unless it decides to act decisively...and soon...it can kiss its butt goodbye.
Glenn Beck's book, An Inconvenient Book, has a chapter on how Muslims take over a system and he is exactly correct in their tactics. It's working in France and Britain, and in some US cities. The same was happening to the Danes, and they finally shut down Muslim immigration. Actions and reporting like we see here play into their hands perfectly. The world needs to grow a pair...immediately...if they hope to preserve their own culture.

Sorry for the double post...I’m getting server error messages and didn’t think it posted.
Remember Pam Waechter? I bet few do. She was murdered by Naveed Afzal Haq in Seattle. The motive - she was Jewish. No great interest by MSM, a story that should have had legs.
BUT THEY WON’T!!!
BUT THEY WON’T!!!
Have you read Mark Steyn’s book America Alone? He goes so far as to call Europe, Eurabia, and with good reason.

All the more amazing given the number of Jews in the media.
Some if not all of the blame needs to be set upon the liberal Jews who continue to hate themselves. They make movies, write news stories and feed the public with leftist and elitist views which are contrary to their own survival. If leftists Jews (which are a majority in most developed countries i.e. America and France) wont stand up and defend themselves through the media, why should anyone else. Its a sad commentary on where we have come and where we are going - reminds one of the fall of Rome.
and Sarkozy said...
When the Islamo-Facists take over france, I hope they make the French men all wear Burkas....like the sissy bitches they are.
The French lost their souls in 1940. Collevtively they decided not to fight the Germans, turned their Jews over and kicked back and enjoyed life under Hitler.
Nothing has chaged their attitude since.
