Far-right protests break out across France as tensions reach boiling point

CROWDS of extreme right-wing protesters have disturbed a solidarity march in France as news breaks that at least one of the terrorists responsible for the slaughters in Paris was a Syrian refugee.

A peaceful demonstration taking place in the centre of Lille, northern France, was interrupted by right-wingers appearing to belong to the Front National.

The unrest came as Front National leader Marine Le Pen declared French people “are no longer safe” and called for France to take back control of its borders.

Many people have taken to the streets across France today to show their solidarity with Paris despite the French government banning demonstrations from taking place for security reasons.

The protesters, armed with flares and with banners reading: “Throw out Islamists” pushed their way through the peaceful crowd and started chanting “Out the Muslims”.

Protesters hurled Islamophobic chants as police surrounded the tense scenes.

Demonstrators, taking part in the act of solidarity organised by Human Rights League, lashed back at the group of right-wingers, shouting: "Get out Fascists".

Banners of peaceful protesters read: “We are not afraid”, “Pray for Paris” and “Je suis Paris” in homage to the terrorist attacks on Charlie Hebdo in January.

Mourning Parisians have laid flowers and candles at the six locations where the gruesome attacks took place.

Londoners also gathered in Trafalgar Square today in solidarity with the French capital.

Iconic landmarks across the world have lit up in the colours of the French flag as France comes to terms with the country’s worst ever terrorist attack.

The synonyms of "Islamophobia" -- "self-defense" "common sense".

"Sadly, I’m afraid that this sort of protest is necessary here. I had thought that nothing Obama could say could further deepen my hatred for Obama. I was wrong, his speech was stunning."

He hates you, me and America, Jim.

Far right= anyone not willing to sacrafice themselves on the alter of the elites pet movements. In this case—multiculturalism (white genocide).

Normal people who don’t want their families and children blown up, shot or hacked to death by muslims are Far-Right?

I would venture that the "right wingers" are now "centrists" due to the Islamic attack on Paris.

extreme right-wing protesters ...

Yada, yada, yada. Baby whining snowflakes on college campuses can be outraged and yell about nothing, but righteously outraged French citizens can't publicly protest against idiotic government policies that bring murder upon them without being called "extreme" and "right-wing"?! SRSLY?!!!

Hey, Extreme Left-Wing Liberals ... guess what? ISIS just hi-jacked your cause and exposed you as ignorant blind idiots. You are so OVER.

When the h*ll did this practice begin? I don't recall this happening when I was a young man and it must have been imported from the 3rd world.

Daniel Hannon remarked some years ago that “far-right” in the modern era is a generic insult.

What good does that do? Close and bulldoze all mosques. That will get the savages attention. Make the construction of any new mosques a crime. If they want mosques they can go back to whatever muzzy cess pool they climbed out of.

At this point, we’re all “far right”.

Maybe when the smoke clears, we can label ourselves “patriots”. Which is far more accurate btw.

Good point.

No funeral or memorial in the history of the West ever used flowers or candles until a few years ago.

In 16th century England, most people sent bouquets of iPhones to decorate the graves of the dead, and people went to churches to snap neon green glowsticks in memory of their dead relatives.

The day will come when the Media insults will not cause people to step back and let evil win. The time when fear will trump feeling good—will see people looking for new—less PC leaders—a man (or Woman) on a white horse who will solve the problems of the day. Time for Madam LePen to find a big White Horse to ride and a Tri-Color to wave—that or a sword.

Slightly to the Left is Selina Sykes’ idea of the “Far Right”.

When you are on the extreme Left, almost everybody appears to be on the “Far Right”.

It's too bad they don't teach about the value of reality and Truth in journalism classes...

I’ve had arguments with liberals in family who think owning firearms and belonging to the NRA pose a threat to public safety, yet are saying we need to save these refugees and thinking threats from them are “overblown”...i.e. they don’t want Americans walking around that can defend themselves (and others to a degree), but are fully on board with bringing in these refugees. Until reality smacks them in the face, they never directly feel the impact of their decisions as they are often sheltered from them. Paris should wake them up, but...
