Lawmakers debate bill to rout out radical Islam in France

PARIS - French lawmakers tackle a bill on Monday to dig up radical Islam by its roots in the country, beliefs that authorities maintain are creeping into public services, associations, some schools and online with the goal of undermining national values.

The bill is broad and controversial, with 1,700 proposed amendments, and guarantees heated debate for the next two weeks in the lower house.

It reflects a priority for President Emmanuel Macron, who in an October speech painted a dark picture of a perverse version of Islam, France’s No.2 religion, quietly making inroads and creating a “counter society.”

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, a right-leaning member of Macron’s centrist party, took up the mission with zeal. Darmanin wrote a short book to be released in days, “Manifesto for Secularism,” a fundamental value of France that the bill he sponsored is meant to protect.

“Islamism is a Trojan horse hiding the fragmentation bomb of our society,” Darmanin wrote, according to excerpts from the daily Le Figaro. “In the face of such a dangerous and insidious enemy, which we know is far from the religion of the prophet (of Islam), it is normal that public officials take unprecedented measures.”

Multiple terrorist attacks in France by Islamist extremists provide a backdrop for the bill, even if recent attacks were committed by outsiders.

The text applies to all religions but some Muslims say the legislation once again points the finger at Islam.

In ways small and large, the bill seeks oversite in the functioning of associations and mosques, including foreign financing, aiming plug up entry points for Islamist ideology in the lives of Muslims.

Did the overlords think this wouldn’t happen when they allowed these radical Islamists, en masse, into their homelands?

Or was this by design to weaken and/or tear apart that homeland?

Or maybe it wasn’t their homeland at all and they just wished to destroy the people and country?

That could never happen in the USA. So France has more freedom of thought than the USA?

Notre Dame Cathedral is a historic ruin.

France is the largest Islamic country in Europe. They will not be giving that up. Read the Koran and see what it tells Muslims to do.

It’s happening here too folks.

Don’t like all those gay transgender queer laws? The Muslims will get rid of them don’t worry.

It’s a rather simple task, albeit a very dangerous one for the cops and military.

Roll up and send home.....EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY MUSLIM that is in France.

Reclaim and clean up their slums and go on and live happy French lives again. Not brain science or rocket surgery.

It’s always funny to here a Secularist tell religious people how they are perverting their own faith. Kinda like Pelosi does with Christians here in the US.

If you don’t like Islam, then don’t let so many muslims into your country. Otherwise, dont be surprised when they start to take over your culture. Islam has a much more deep rooted union between “church and state”. It is virtually impossible to practice without huge levels of cognitive dissoance unless the Islamic community also has control over their own laws.

This is really the Left’s fault as they have erroneously thought assimilation can occur. I hate to say it, but I feel like the political Right in France is fighting a losing battle just like here in the states, things will have to get a whole lot worse there to spark a revolution. Otherwise, the appeasers will just get elected when the general public tires of fighting.

They invited the vampires into their nation, now are horrified when forced to give them a blood feast.
