Has ISIS awakened Europe to reality or not?
The love story between the Eagles of Death Metal and France lasted just six months. That American band was performing at Le Bataclan theater on 13th of November, when two ISIS suicide bombers exterminated 89 people in a turkey shoot (including Nick Alexander, Eagles' merchandising manager). For weeks, France rallied around this group of anarchists from California with their culture of middle America.
Now the Eagles of Death Metal are toxic in France and two music festivals, Rock en Seine and Cabaret Vert, just canceled their performance. "Being in total disagreement with recent statements made by Jesse Hughes in an interview, we decided to cancel the band's performance", said the two festivals.
Last February, Eagles' frontman Jesse Hughes was interviewed by French TV Itele. When asked about gun control, Hughes asked:
"Did your French gun control stop a single f*****g person from dying? I think the only thing that stopped it was some of the bravest men that I've ever seen charging head-first into the face of death with their firearms. I think the only way that my mind has been changed is that maybe until nobody has guns everybody has to have them. Because I've never seen anyone that's ever had one dead, and I want everyone to have access to them, and I saw people die that maybe could have lived, I don't know".
Jesse Hughes shook up France's humanitarian taboos once more. From the French weekly magazine L'Express to Britain's The Guardian newspaper, the media is now running stories of survivors who speak out against Hughes.
Hughes' "sin" was an interview with Taki's Magazine, titled "Surrendering to Death". It is a tragic monologue exposing the most uncomfortable truths about the Paris'massacre. This is a selection of Hughes' remarks:

The French had better start to man up because this time the American's are not going to save their sorry butts.
Jesse Hughes should be expecting an invite to Ted Nugent’s ranch any day now.
If the blood begins to flow between the French and ISIS before Obama is out, France should worry not so much about the US not bailing France out but rather about the US actively supporting ISIS. He said he'd stand with the Muslims in his book and I defy you to find one instance anytime when he didn't support the position of the extremist muslims, or at best offer more than a wink-wink fight against it like he has with the so-called fight against ISIS.
In the Taki’s Magazine interview, Jesse Hughes said that the theatre security crew was complicit in the attack:
“I got in trouble for saying that. I know for sure they [terrorists] were in there early... There’s no denying the terrorists were already inside, and they had to get in somehow... I kept opening the back door to smoke... I’ve played there before and opening up that door to smoke got you in big trouble. This time, the security guy walks right past me...”
“The French had better start to man up because this time the American’s are not going to save their sorry butts. “
In the coverage of the Paris attack one story mentioned two terrorists who burst into a restaurant as part of the massacre plan. They weren’t counting on the three South American drug smugglers who were dining there, and who somehow had failed to honor France’s prohibition on firearms.
Final score, Colombian cocaine dealers 2, jihadis 0.
Another money quote from the Taki interview;
“I saw Muslims celebrating in the street during the attack. I saw it with my own eyes. In real time! How did they know what was going on? There must have been coordination.”
Jesse Hughes in the Taki interview:
“We had eight police officers in our audience that night [of the attack]. They all had the same conversation with their wives [before going to the show], which was “Should I bring my gun or not?” All of them said no. When we went back [after the attack] and played Paris again they stood in the same places they stood at the original show and they opened their jackets and showed me their guns.”
