A lot of times whenever the Front National gets a mention here in the context of an article talking about the rise of the "French right", the few comments tend to be vaguely positive. I think it's important that people realize that for once, the use of the term "extremist" and even "fascist" by the European press is fully warranted. I've done research, read translated versions of the website, past and present, and speeches by some of their prominent members. The National Front is a fascist leaning party. They aren't out and out neo-nazis like the Golden Dawn, but still, their rise is not encouraging, especially given events over the past year in France.

The FN was always like this.

She’s right about the Saudis, and not far off about the US and EU, but I don’t get the Iran part at all, unless they are providing funding.

They’re a means to an end. Anything to crack the European Union’s bureaucratic dictatorship. We can cross the next bridge when we come to it.

Thank you for posting this— very informative.

Sitting next to her foreign policy advisor Aymeric Chauprade, Le Pen advocated that France should sever its links with Saudi Arabia, "America's... ally" and a "dangerous country ruled by extremist clans, who, since the origin of Wahhabism, have but one goal: to dominate global Islam and turn it into jihad against all other civilizations."

I agree with this view.

The funny thing about both of these silly propagandists is that by slandering our beloved country, they are losing support from anyone so inclined to see islamofascism as a threat. Talk about cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face. A pox on both of them.

I’m so tired of these people being called a European ‘Tea Party’. Anyone who believes that should read this article.

From the little I’ve read of La Pen, she’s as big a crackpot as our worst American crackpots like Noam Chomsky. Michael Moore, Al Sharpton, or Oliver Stone.

The Saudis are not to be trusted - the 9/11 hijackers were mostly Saudis. The Saudi were trying to get us to spill American blood in Syria, basically paying us to be their errand boy. They have there hooks in a bunch of people, and especially in the GOPe.

I personally don’t trust any of these middle eastern lunatics. But we have politicians in bed with them because there is so much money involved. Just like the Chamber of Commerce willing to destroy the USA on immigration. Money.

Our ‘leaders’ are simply cheap whores. DC should be flushed. Federal power eradicated.

Instead of leading the West to sanity, Marine Le Pen falls ill to the rabies of anti-Americanism and commits civilizational treason in supporting Iran.
If she is angry with the EU, she should look at how it was founded by France as this third way against the US and USSR. She is not an enemy of the #Eurabia project, but a continuation of it. She is not the next Charles Martel, just the next collaborating traitor like Charles Maurras.
