Three-quarters of a sample of suspects brought before French courts following last month’s mass riots bore Arabic–Muslim or African-origin first names, according to an analysis by leading pollster Jérôme Fourquet.

The finding points to mounting indications of significant immigrant-background involvement in the looting and violence that, with the help of the far left, turned France’s protests over education and living costs into weeks of urban chaos.

Fourquet, director of the opinion department at polling institute Ifop, examined national and local newspaper accounts of expedited court hearings following the 17 October riots. Of the 70 cases in which sufficient biographical information was available, 75 per cent had first names he classified as Arabic–Muslim or African in origin. He described the result as showing ‘very strong overrepresentation’.

Similar concerns had already emerged in neighbouring Italy and Germany. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said around half of the 330 people stopped or arrested during October’s riots were of immigrant background. In Frankfurt, Hesse Interior Minister Roman Poseck described the groups involved in looting on 31 October as predominantly migrant in character.

The French findings have also exposed a growing split within the political establishment. Former prime minister and 2027 presidential contender Édouard Philippe said on 1 November that footage of the pillaging showed significant numbers of young French citizens of immigrant background. Far-left presidential candidate and one of the main political forces behind the riots, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, condemned his remarks as racist, while Republican leader Bruno Retailleau cited Fourquet’s research in support….

In Britain for years the most popular name for boys name is...you guessed it...slang is Big Mo. The good news is that we lived in the best of times. The average pinhead in America has no idea what’s coming, last Tuesday the door was opened as it has been coming for a long time.

Europe needs to fall back and embrace fascism, based on nationalism and pride of country. Fascism is like a “poison pill” a harsh medicine that can save a nation but has ill side effects. Good news is fascism isn’t permanent and will die off after the death of the “Leader” (see Franco in Spain). Most nations slip into some form of democracy after fascism falls. Nationalistic in focus it would drive out the Islamic culture wave, send them out, put them in camps or force them to become part of the nation. Fascism isn’t like a dictatorship—in a dictatorship the tyrant will let you be if you don’t oppose him (or her) You can stand on the sidewalk as the army marches by—In Fascism you must march in the parade and be a part of the revived nation—everyone must have a roll. It can change a nation quickly and it is hard to defeat. It is all pervasive and insidious. Many time leading to wars of conquest as it hold your nation is the best on earth. Fascism is nationalist as opposed to Communistic that is internationalist based on Marx’s theory and even it only lasted 75 years.
