The Charlie Hebdo attack, the Kosher market, the Bataclan attack, Nice attack...
yet it won't surprise me if we see more liberal "virtue signaling;" putting up quotes "in solidarity" with France, changing their profile pics to a translucent French flag, or even trying to use the occasion to stifle criticism of Muslimism.
France was once one of the great civilizations of Europe. It was the first to follow in our footsteps against tyrannical government. It gave the world great wine, fashion and art as well. It even had representative democracy, of course until the Munich surrender, the surrender at Compiègne, and the rise of Petain. That might be the roots of where France went wrong, falling to fascism when Britain did not, but it did not stop there.
It tried to right the wrong. De Gaulle was heroic in WWII, and until the '60s, France stood with Israel against Pan-Arabism and Nasserism, a dressed up form of Islamism. But after that, France began to make surrendering an even bigger a habit; they started cozying up to the Muslim world, taking a leading role in European Israel and America bashing. They have since also been at the forefront of taking mass Muslim immigration. They even had Communists in their government in the '70s and '80s, and during the Cold War too. They were extremely critical of the Bush admin's war on terrorism in a way that made Michael Moore look tame. They didn't even take part in Afghanistan.
This has contributed to seeing a lot more burkas and hijabs around a formerly fashionable place, no-go zones, sympathizers/apologists for this stuff, and Jewish emigration from France. Even before the Bataclan, they were leading in taking Muslim refugees.
One would've been forgiven if immediately after the Bataclan attack, one might've thought they'd wisen up on immigration and refugees. But what did they do after? "MORE MUSLIM REFUGEES, PLEASE!" To the tune of another 60000!! This mentality has been the epitome of the French national character for decades. While I 1000% sympathize with the victims of radical Muslim jihad everywhere, France's political class' general pussyism, dishonor of America and Israel, two bulwarks against Islamic jihad, and their refusal to face their problem makes it hard to feel sorry for that country on the whole.
Certainly, the French political establishment reaps what it sows.
Don’t forget the cheese.
The French gave us some great cheese. Oh, and wine.
You forgot the link to this “News” story.
Please go away.
France was good for wine, women and song... and tires and skiis.
They remind us every day why we call them Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys.
Obama and Hillary have the same view, as does most of the Western and Moslem world. Marxists and Mohammedans are bedfellows for good reason -- they share similar goals: the destruction of individualism, liberty, and responsibility.
welcome to Free Republic.
It’s not just the French. It’s the entire Western World.
Why, oh why does the Western elite continue to allow this? Why are they inundating the West with a massive permanent welfare/criminal class of third world immigrants? On the surface it appears to be madness. Upon closer inspection, however, there is method to the madness.
Muslims will cause internal conflict within any nation allowing them in. It’s just they way they are. Conflict (Civil War) allows for draconian responses. This will lead to a remake of Western society - but not in a way most would want. Bottom line, the Muslims will be played for being the “Useful Idiots” they are so willing to be.
France has the same problem Russia does. Their “Mexicans’ are moslems to the south, living in that nations historic range.
At least we get some decent food outta the deal.
You’re a charming person aren’t you?
And these same elites will lecture us tomorrow on any recriminations against Islam. The elites think the Muslims will never get to them and the liberals have a death wish.
I see parallels, but ever since the Czarist empire, Russian-controlled territories had Muslims, but Russia and even to the USSR’s credit, both dealt with Islam internally rather well. France has just let Muslims pour in from lands that were not their sovereign land. Even for as much as I don’t like Putin, more western leaders need to do to Islamic terrorists what Putin did in Chechnya.
Muslims are just acting as expected. Bring a mad dog into to your house - don’t be surprised if you’re bitten. The blame should lie not so much with the dog but rather with who let the dog in.
All part of the plan....this is oh, so very purposeful.
THAT.
It's ALL a setup.
And though Trump seems to be defying it, he lives in billionaireland - which is a separate planet.
If he lives up to his credo, we've dodged a bullet. But if he's just a way to get someone competent in while dumping Hillary's madness, we're still screwed.
Only way to find out is to elect him - and we really have no choice in the matter. Crooked Hillary is sitting in the corner with her bloody knives and her grin, just daring us not to elect The Donald while she cackles and cackles and cackles...
Safe Zone in Syria.
Repatriate the invader Muslims now in Europe and here.
Only solution that’d work.
Agreed. I hope Trump gets elected and does what he says.
But, he could just be a ringer fooling us all.
