‘Sensitive urban areas’ [2008 article detailing the existence of NO GO Zones in France]
Washington Times ^ | 1/16/08

Posted on 01/20/2015 11:41:36 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

.....In May, the French voters elected Mr. Sarkozy as president because he had promised to restore the authority of the Republic over France’s 751 no-go areas, the so-called zones urbaines sensibles (ZUS, sensitive urban areas), where 5 million people — 8 percent of the population — live. During his first months in office he has been too busy with other activities, such as selling nuclear plants to Libya and getting divorced. While the French media publish nude pictures of the future (third) Mrs. Sarkozy, the situation in the ZUS has remained as “sensitive” as before.

People get mugged, even murdered, in the ZUS, but the media prefer not to write about it. When large-scale rioting erupts and officers and firemen are attacked, the behavior of the thugs is condoned with references to their “poverty” and to the “racism” of the indigenous French. The French media never devote their attention to the bleak situation of intimidation and lawlessness in which 8 percent of the population, including many poor indigenous French, are forced to live. Muslim racism toward the “infidels” is never mentioned.

The future of Europe will probably look like that movie “Children of Men”... with the guerilla fighting in the ghetto areas.

They don’t want you to believe they exist in Europe because they want you to ignore that they exist in the USA.

Dearborn, MI has been a de facto Sharia-run state-within-a-state for several years.

I have a Mexican friend here in Los Angeles who is a big, well known muralist and painter. He was chosen by France to paint murals.

When he came back he had chilling stories about how they had him paint murals in areas that were mostly Algerian and that were impossible for the French to move about in.

That was about 20 years ago.

It’s the perfect fly trap. Force the cowards into a $hithole and then kill everything in the $hithole.

The Greek is from the codex Vaticanus 350ad
The Arabic is the bismillah

I cannot find any sourcing with the bismillah that looks like what you posted.

The Greek I can find things close to what you posted.
