CROWDS of extreme right-wing protesters have disturbed a solidarity march in France as news breaks that at least one of the terrorists responsible for the slaughters in Paris was a Syrian refugee.
A peaceful demonstration taking place in the centre of Lille, northern France, was interrupted by right-wingers appearing to belong to the Front National.
The unrest came as Front National leader Marine Le Pen declared French people “are no longer safe†and called for France to take back control of its borders.
Many people have taken to the streets across France today to show their solidarity with Paris despite the French government banning demonstrations from taking place for security reasons.
The protesters, armed with flares and with banners reading: “Throw out Islamists†pushed their way through the peaceful crowd and started chanting “Out the Muslimsâ€.
Protesters hurled Islamophobic chants as police surrounded the tense scenes.
Demonstrators, taking part in the act of solidarity organised by Human Rights League, lashed back at the group of right-wingers, shouting: "Get out Fascists".
Banners of peaceful protesters read: “We are not afraidâ€, “Pray for Paris†and “Je suis Paris†in homage to the terrorist attacks on Charlie Hebdo in January.
Mourning Parisians have laid flowers and candles at the six locations where the gruesome attacks took place.
Londoners also gathered in Trafalgar Square today in solidarity with the French capital.
Iconic landmarks across the world have lit up in the colours of the French flag as France comes to terms with the country’s worst ever terrorist attack.
No bias here.
I wonder how long until the car torching begins? That is usually how the Islamics reply to the slightest form of criticism, right?
The only leftist acceptable response to such acts of terror is to offer your deepest sympathies to the Muslim people, who are obviously the victims in all of this. We must fully accept that Islamic people are always the victims when their peaceful religion is hijacked by extremists. Photographs of them celebrating is of course staged, faked and racist.
People who want to LIVE are extremists and people who want to DIE are normal according to Libs/Dems! Interesting!
Always “far-right.” Can’t just be French patriots.
How do they know these protestor are all “far right”.
Maybe most of them are “far common sense”.
I wish I were there.
Interesting because Lille is a city that has a huge percentage of muslims. Close to a majority.
Wanting to expel ISLAMISTS is “extreme right wing”? Boy are we in trouble!
Anyone to the Left espousing ‘common sense’ is a ‘far right winger’..........................
The word Islamaphobia is now obsolete. By definition, it refers to an “irrational fear”. The events in Paris show that fear is rational and well deserved.
Remember the Bastille..........................
Stopping the invasion of their country by mohammedan throat cutters makes one an “extreme right-wing protester” in the opinion of this airhead reporterette.
Maybe Selina Sykes will wade into one of the protests and ask the “right-wingers” why they are so close minded as to be unwilling to give away their country to 7th century muslim throwbacks.
Sadly, I’m afraid that this sort of protest is necessary here. I had thought that nothing Obama could say could further deepen my hatred for Obama. I was wrong, his speech was stunning.
All violence and bombings and beheadings and killings all have nothing to do with Islam. But even the slightest protest against these things is “Far Right”
“extreme right-wing protesters”
In other words, thinking people who do what’s logical.
EXACTLY!
“extreme right wing protesters”
nah, no bias. ...it can’t reflect the extreme left wing journalist. /s
Their people are being slaughtered and you have names “hurled” at you if you want to actually do something about it. It’s called “normal” - only those on the far left see it as “far right”.
