"No decent or sane people are going to persecute JewsHow do you excuse/explain Le Pen's current alliance?" Convenient proviso which doesn't apply to Le Pen and his followers.
As I said before your brand of realist politics bites you in the rear. Your suggestion is just the Conservative version of useful idiots.
I will have to study Le Pen's "current alliance" carefully before I can pass judgement on it. If Le Pen really does accept a Muslim takeover of France as an inevitability, this will be a complete reversal of his former position, which, to use one of his own colorful descriptions, was that of "Sitting Bull."
The point of the FN seems to me national survival and recrudescence. I do not see how either will be in the cards for an Islamicized France. If the old Le Pen had not been demonized and opposition to Islamic immigration had not been marginalized, France's very future existence would not be in such doubt.
How, may I ask you, is Islamist bellicosity to be dealt with now in France?
Also, how you can imply that the National Front in France is really no different from Stormfront is beyond me.
Having read the entire article (thanks), I must now eat some crow. If this article on Le Pen is at all accurate, then I must conclude this man has truly gone over the deep end.
Still, I maintain something should have been done about the Islamic immigration flood early on, and it is a fact that, of the major political figures in France, only Le Pen at the time was opposing it. I would have voted for him a few years ago, but today he is on the side of the enemies of France and Europe, it would appear. How sad.
