70 members of the French youth group Génération Identitaire occupied the Poiters mosque on Saturday to protest against the influence of Islam in France. The youths climbed to the roof and unfurled a banner with the name of their movement.
French politicians firmly condemned the occupation.
The youth activists displayed a number of banners including one that read, Charles Martel beat the Arabs at Poitiers in 732, in reference to a battle credited with stopping the advance of Islam into western Europe. That was 1300 years ago.
The Génération Identitaire youths released this referendum.
REFERENDUM ! »
Through this important action, Génération Identitaire aims to be in the first line of the fight for our identity. 1300 years ago, Charles Martel stopped Arabs in Poitiers after an heroic battle which save our country from the Muslim invasion. It was the October 25th of 732. Today, were on 2012 and the choice is still the same : live free or die. Our generation refuse to see her people and her identity disappear through indifference. Well never be the Native Indians of Europe. From this place, important symbol of our past and bravery of our ancestors, we call to memory and fight !

Where were these guys in 1940?
I think this has been spreading for quite some time. There’s a group called the “English Defence League” which has been doing the same kind of thing in England.

I love this quote from a US rabbi speaking to the EDL in 2010:
“History will be recorded that on this day, read by our children for eternity, one group lit the spark to liberate us from the oppressors of our two governments and the leftist, fifth column, quisling press, and that it was the EDL which started the liberation of England from evil.”
There are other “Defence League” type groups in several European countries.

It’s hard to tell if there’s a similar group in the US. Maybe this:

From 1958-1961 I was a little boy and lived in Poitiers. My father was an Army officer stationed at an American base there. Lots of good, family type memories of Poitiers.
It looks like English authorities are taking preventative measures. The EDL and their like won’t get in the way of the diversities and their prosperity in the UK.
Pamela Gellar has an article about the arrest and intimidation of 53 people that include the leadership of EDL and BFP party.

People will say these parties are made up of hooligans and KKK-like racists. Generally white people that care do kinda fit the stereotype.
The same could be said of Tea Party or any militia - defend the Constitution types.
Oh yeah - they do say that; it just doesn’t play as well here in the US.

Think 1792. Think of tumbrels rattling up the street, of Madame LaFarge sitting there knitting, of the Guillotine, of the blood running in the street.
One wonders where in France she is.
We know about America. She is probably logged in to Free Republic right now
