A French mayor, Robert Chardon, is calling for governmental legislation that will ban Islam. He said in a recent statement:
We must ban the Muslim faith in France.
He also stated, “It’s the only solution for most of France’s problems,” and, “We also need a Marshall Plan to send Muslims to countries where the religion is practiced.” This man is the mayor of Venelles, a French town with a population of about 8,000 people, and he is more righteous than any of the politicians in Paris. It is amazing how small town people have a better understanding of how to deal with evil than do metropolitan people. Chardon also said (and this is what makes his statements even better):
The Republic should promotes the practice of the Christian faith.
This makes Mr. Chardon superior to those secular conservatives who just say, “Ban Islam, but allow homosexuality,” and all of the other drivel that they say.
I believe, at times that the French can get falsely accused of ultra-liberalism. In many ways, they can be more radically Christian than people in the US. Unlike the “freedom of religion” crowd in America, they put a ban on the hijab, and the society in France is so proud of its culture that the environment it produces compels everyone to speak the language of the land. But most of all, let us not forget that France was the first country — and probably the most active nation — to participate in the beautiful Crusades against Islam. They were not secular wars, but Christian wars. We should not doubt that remnants of the Crusader spirit are flowing through the blood of the French people. Fads come and go, but the ideas of eternal beauty live on. Trends are manufactured, and they shrivel up and perish before the shining sun of eternal idea.
Freedom of religion, or the opinion of “doing whatever you want and believing whatever you want” are transient in the presence of timeless truth. To die unto the self, to fight for lands destined by Heaven, to fight for the advancement of eternal love — that is, the Holy Cross — these are ideas that surpass the temporary and the temporal, they surpass the carnal impulses and transcend the obsessions of the flesh, and move the heart to a timeless love, emanating from that which is spaceless and boundless, free from the ego, free from selfish desires, free from Satan, and bringing us to the holy ark to sail away from the capricious waves of human fascination and into the realm of selfless compassion upon the lofty Mount Ararat, where the dove brings the olive branch of peace. This is the true peace, “not as the world gives do I give to you.” (John 14:27)
Peace from the wiles of the devil, peace from the works of Satan which Christ came to destroy. If the society is truly going to have peace, then it must be a Christian society. Not one where sodomites dictate laws, where they crash planes (like what happened to the Germanwings plane) and derail trains (as what just took place with the Amtrak train), or where Muslims hijack planes and crash them into buildings. A society where goodness is given liberty to be done, and where evil is given no license. The state is to “punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.” (1 Peter 2:14) But now, the states of the Western world are pursuing the opposite of this.
I remember when I was in Spain I saw a beautiful statue in the middle of a plaza in Madrid, showing a great Spanish warrior of the Reconquista (the longest war in Christian history, lasting almost 800 years), stepping on the head of Muslim Ghazi (Arabic word for a warrior of Islam). I was in absolute awe of the photo and had to take a picture of it:
I love the beautiful illustration it illuminates of Christian supremacy and empire. Spain — the terra sancta of Europe, and the flower of Christendom. That this statue, alongside a whole array of statues of Reconquista warriors and Conquistadors, still stand tall with all conspicuous pride in modern Spain, tells us something quite profound: Underneath all of the debris of modernism, the Spirit of Christian Militancy still stands; behind all of the ruins of an almost forgotten history, the heart of Christendom is still beating in a body that only needs to be awakened, so that the holy blood of sacred land — destined by mighty Heaven and consecrated by the Cross — may flow with all zeal and tenacity. I believe that the body of Christendom will be reinvigorated, with the true Body of Christ rushing with all honor and love, and throwing away all transient nonsense, will defend the precepts that will live on for now and forever.
Who would throw away the first amendment!?
NEVER! Never ban Islam.
But we do need to permit religious discrimination. There is no need for the federal government to take issue with religious discrimination that is done privately. Businesses should be allowed to discriminate. This would allow us to intimidate Islamists by not serving them.
Your reasoning makes sense if you consider Islam a religion, imp.
I do not, I consider it a system of despotic government, which uses religion to mask it’s goal of conquest. On that basis, I think it should be banned from our shores.
-— I see no reason why this wouldn’t happen again, especially as they did not even put up a fight this time around and instead invited them in. -—
How are we different, except that we’re separated from the Caliphate by an ocean?
They are statists. They want a theocracy,mmuch like Fluke wants us to pay for her condoms or little kids to have sex with,mwho knows, like in communist islamist Iran. (Minute Marriage, Mother Jones)
You are willingly going to be a useful idiot to the left?
No, we are not all that different. Except we haven’t imported as large a number ... yet.
Then, the same thing again in the 19th century, with the anti-clerical laws.
In 1880 and 1882 Benedictine teaching monks were effectively exiled. This was not completed until 1901.
The 1905 law on separation of state and church was enacted with strength and vigor ...
It was very sad, especially for French nuns, who left their convents, stripped of every piece of property which was their security for old age. Many went abroad, always very humble, not complaining, and established themselves elsewhere.
It was a huge human rights abuse, which historians barely bother to mention.
You ban Islam in France and there will be more than Muslim students burning cars..with certainty.
The Muslim population of France reached an estimated 6.5 million in 2013. ... whose origins are from Muslim majority countries.
This estimate would imply that the Muslim population of France is now approximately 10% of the country’s total population of around 66 million.
In real terms, France has the largest Muslim population in the European Union.
Better just to say Islam is against everything and anything that is not Islam.
No need to ban Islam; just ban ALL Islamists. Put them on a ship sailing to the middle east. Get them all out of America.
Our own first amendment prevents that, unless we declare Islam to be what it is, a socio-political system masquerading as a religion.
But then we have to be willing to evaluate other "religions", like Scientology for instance.
How stupid have been our assorted government(s).
We, in suicidal form, allow the CPUSA to exist and flourish and as a result have 49 members of Congress as card-carrying members.
Scientology has, as of yet, not murdered one American citizen. Neither have the Amish or the Mormons.
Kicking Islam in the ass should be a frolic in the park.
