France warns citizens to be cautious as anger seethes in Muslim world over cartoons

PARIS - France warned its citizens living or travelling in several Muslim-majority countries to take extra security precautions on Tuesday as anger surged over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.

In a sign that some countries want to limit the fallout, Saudi Arabia condemned the cartoons but held back from echoing calls by other Muslim states for a boycott of French products or other actions.

The row has its roots in a knife attack outside a French school on Oct. 16 in which a man of Chechen origin beheaded Samuel Paty, a teacher who had shown pupils cartoons of Prophet Mohammad in a civics lesson on freedom of speech. The caricatures are considered blasphemous by Muslims.

France’s foreign ministry on Tuesday issued safety advice to French citizens in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Iraq and Mauritania, advising them to exercise caution. They should stay away from any protests over the cartoons and avoid any public gatherings.

“It is recommended to exercise the greatest vigilance, especially while travelling, and in places that are frequented by tourists or expatriate communities,” it said.

Forget France. This is what happens to a country when you lose forever your best genetic stock from 1914-1945 and then you open your country to culturally alien hordes. This is what globalism looks like. Never again should American blood and treasure be sacrificed to save France.

Well, there are also things considered blasphemous by Jews. And there are things considered blasphemous by Christians. And there are things considered blasphemous by Hindus. Etc.

But only Muslims will kill because of it. And polls have shown that many Muslims think these killings are just fine. And in some countries, it’s most of them.

Why won’t the rest of the world wake up, and confront this terrible reality?

Why would any “infidel” want to set foot in an Islamic s***hole?

I’ll have to stand with France on this issue, but in my mind they’re in a more precarious situation than even June of 1940 and the coming Nazi occupation.

They’re going to have to kick out a huge number of Muslims who were never Frenchmen to begin with and over the decades fundamentalist Imams have turned the Muslim children into ticking time bombs.

It’s an offshoot of Carlos the Jackal and his life long career...

Go read Carlos the Jackal for his opinion of how to bring down the west.

He acknowledged that Marxism by itself could not bring down the west , nor could islam; but an alliance, a coalition of the two could. Obama was both a marxist and a muslim... and a lying radical at that.

But then agin, there’s a word for it, Taqiyya, the right to lie as long as the lie furthers the interests of islam.
It’s codified.
Obama was a ghazi
operating from 1600

That is why a vote for Biden is a vote for the continuation of the obamian “DEATH to America” regime.

Tolerance is one way street. We are constantly told to be tolerant of third world savages but never afforded the same courtesy in return.

That is a very important point. I haven’t seen any French polls on the matter. But polls out of the UK and the United States show that younger Muslims are, in general, MORE radical than their parents. So the problem can only get worse.

And that’s due to radical imams, as you noted. But it’s also due to easy access to radical Islamic material online.

Here’s one poll about younger UK Muslims.

Ju suis France....Je suis Charlie.

France needs to pony up and expel the muslims or there will soon be a war with the cutthroats holding the upper hand.

The point is that most Infidels are so stupid that they invite these scum to transform (culturally enrich) their own homelands creating their own $!#holes. Because Diversity or something.

The Roman prescription for Blasphemy was

“Let the Gods Avenge themselves”

St Paul:

“Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.”

Muslim Charges of blasphemy are just “Happy Opportunities” for Muslims to act like what they are: violent thugs and members of a criminal enterprise.

Sorry but France no longer exists as most Americans once imagined it. Its natives have embraced leftism and agnosticism. The culture has been voluntarily transformed. Macron can whine and weep sentimental tears but what is done ,is done. Forget about France but get a good look at globalism.

Looks like Reuters didn’t have the courage to post the cartoons. At least I didn’t see them.

I hear you but think we have to make a stand.

In the United States, that stand has been taken by electing Donald Trump President. What happens if he loses?

We lose, too. Just like France.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
― Winston S. Churchill
