French riots about Islamism, not education
Washington Times ^ | October 7, 2026 | Editorial Board

Posted on 10/19/2026 8:19:59 AM PDT by SpaceBar

The riots consuming France have caused considerable confusion. We are told the violence is a protest over poor conditions in the nation’s schools, but you do not burn down a school to get a better education.

In a Truth Social post, President Trump observed: “What’s happening in France is nothing less than out-of-control mass migration. This isn’t about schools. This is about Islam wanting to take over a once great country.”

The facts bear this out. (continues at link)

From the article: French riots about Islamism Globalism, not education

These Globalists would have sent any in group of non-Christian invaders they could find, Muslim or not.

It’s quite amazing to watch people dance around the obvious fact that there’s an overwhelming Islamist component behind this chaos.

Normally one would think “surely this will wake everyone up!”

This seems not to be the case.

I got into it with google AI as to why it refuses to acknowledge the islamic component. I rephrased my query several times and tried to nail it down but it kept coming back with responses like “it’s more complicated than that”. Trump thinks it’s super intelligent when in fact it’s super biased and super politically correct.

Muslims make up approximately 9% to 10% of the total population in France (Wikipedia)

“When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions,” Dr. Hammond notes.

The violence increases when the Muslim population reaches 20%. “After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues”

D-Rat comments I’ve seen on FB demonstrate part of the problem: These dumbasses still believe it’s students “protesting” about school conditions in France.
If that’s the case, why is it spreading to other countries?

Dumbasses. Dumbasses abound and continue to vote.

Every “news” outlet has pushed the stupid lie that is disgruntled students. They instinctively know the truth might hurt the rats in the mid-terms. Nothing is more important than flipping Congress to these bastards.

They insult our intelligence.

Protesting about problems in education by burning down a school is supposed to be an understandable expression of complaints about school. Really???

The media has been trying to convince us the riots in France are due to school issues. So why were they also rioting in Milan this past weekend? Are they upset about France schools as well? Of course not. It wasn’t even school aged men who were doing the rioting. It was full grown Muslim male adults.

How do they know what the actual percentage of the population is or is not Moslem? It could easily be 20 percent right now. Whoever is supposed to go around counting people may not like to go into some of those neighborhoods where Moslems reside. I contend that any population estimate is wrong because accurate counts are not available and because any amount specified is likely to be understated. I always laugh when some advertisement says something “they don’t want you to know” but here is actually something that they don’t want you to know.

Was there ever any sincere doubt about it?
No, there was never any doubt about the real source of mayhem.

You're right. The percentage is probably higher than whatever is reported.

In any case, the only acceptable percentage in any civilized country is ZERO.
