Muslim World Rises Against French Crackdown on Radical Islam

Paris (AFP) — France’s largest employers’ federation on Monday urged companies to “resist the blackmail” over a product boycott by Arab countries as a backlash widens over Paris’s hardened stance against radical Islam.

French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to take the fight to Islamic radicals after the October 16 beheading of a history teacher who had shown cartoons of the Prophet Mohamed to pupils in a class discussion on free speech.

But his comments triggered protests in Muslim-majority countries at the weekend, with people burning pictures of Macron in Syria and setting fire to French flags in the Libyan capital Tripoli.

Boycotts of French goods are under way in supermarkets in Qatar and Kuwait, with further calls to spurn French products in Jordan and other states.

...

After teacher Samuel Paty’s gruesome murder by a Chechen extremist in the name of avenging the Prophet Mohamed, Macron vowed that France would never give up cartoons such as those which in 2015 triggered a deadly attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine and which Paty showed to his class.

Macron hailed Paty as a “hero” for representing the secular, free-thinking values of the French republic, which include a long-cherished right to mock religion.

“He was killed because Islamists want to take our future,” Macron said at a memorial for Paty. “They will never have it.”

Several suspected Islamic radicals have been arrested in dozens of raids since the murder, and about 50 organisations with alleged links to such individuals have been earmarked for closure by the government.

Earlier this month, Macron unveiled a plan to defend France’s secular values against a trend of “Islamist separatism”, and described Islam as a religion “in crisis”.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has accused Macron of “attacking Islam”.

islam is a scourge upon the Earth and must be expunged.

I think it’s worse than that. I don’t think they’re genuine, war-torn, uprooted refugees. I think they’re undesirables in their native lands that were kicked out. Europe accepts them as “refugees.” The overwhelming majority are young males and they prey on the weak of their own kind and aid workers alike. Nothing else explains to me why they are so ungrateful and lawless when given so much opportunity. Just my opinion.

This will be the 2nd fastest surrender since the Germans overran the Maginot Line!

[SkyDancer]

Well they have done that before to people.

[Bigg Red]

I hear you. Pleasantly surprised here. Go, Macron!

Charles Martel is buried in the cathedral in Saint-Denis. It’s not a Muslim neighbourhood, but it is 18% Muslim. That percentage hasn’t increased in the past decade

He’s not serious until he acts to stop Muslim invasion of France.

He’s not REALLY serious until he starts expelling Muslims.

Hey Moose limbs, go pound sand mookabookers.

[Cronos]

Macron has a popularity in excess of 50% and with this anti-Islam"ist" move it's well over 70%

On the matter of being against the Islamist terrorists, you can expect over 70% to support him, and that includes the MINOs (Muslims in name only - of which the overwhelming majority of French "Muslims" are)

[Cronos]

We make too much of the French collapse in 1940 -- this was an aberration in their war exploits

Don't forget that WWI on the western front was heavily fought on French soil and France lost a million men.

And just 130 years earlier they had been the scourge of Europe, conquering nearly the entire continent

[Jakarta ex-pat]

He is “expelling” them. He is sailing them across the channel.

[dp0622]

Well what are they gonna do? Say they don’t believe in those neighborhoods?

they’d be slaughtered and their family put through heck.

The muslims in name only, I mean :)

It would take a very courageous group to at least say, “hey, we’re her now. Let’s try to fit in.

[Cronos]

It depends on the neighbourhoods (banlieus) — some of them (not St Denis) are like Detroit ghettos - bad schools etc. and difficult to escape from.

Others are not ghettos and/or easy to escape from - and many Maghrebin DO that and basically renounce Islam. The ex-Muslim movement is big in France. Note though - nearly all leave Islam for atheism, not for Christianity.

[Cronos]

As to "hey, we're here now. Let's try to fit in" -- many Maghrebin DO that - especially the women

You have people like Rachida Dati born to to a Moroccan father, a bricklayer named Mbarek, and an Algerian mother, named Fatima-Zohra. She was the second child of twelve in an impoverished family, and she spent her childhood in Chalon-sur-Saône in Burgundy in a banlieu

Even though Dati was raised in a devout Islamic environment, she attended Catholic schools. She studied at the University of Burgundy, where she received a master's degree in Economics, and at Panthéon-Assas University, where she received a Law degree.

Or you have Zinedine Zidane, the French football star who describes himself as 'a non-practising Muslim'.
