Sacrificing Your Children on the Altar of Diversity
Steyn Online ^ | 11 Feb 2025 | Mark Steyn

The Spectator, whose headlines are lazy and terrible and an embarrassment to a once great publication, had a particularly bad example the other day:

How many more knife attacks can France take?

Well, as noted in the very first sentence of the article, there are currently 120 "knife attacks" every day in France. A generation ago it would have been inconceivable that the French would accept with a collective Gallic shrug 850 "knife attacks" per week.

Yet they do. So would they be able to "take" a thousand per week? Check back with me later this year. Fifteen hundred? Two thousand? That's the way to bet.

The French state, like other Continental countries, has certain advantages when it comes to holding the lid on things. For example, just a few days ago, Elias, 14, was leaving footie practice when he was impeded and told to cough up his cellphone. He refused. So they stabbed him. Elias was taken to hospital, but died the following day.

This didn't happen in some distant provincial town the French elites don't care about, but in the fourteenth arrondissement of Paris, as Elias was leaving the Jules Noël stadium, which has hosted prestigious international sporting events. So, unlike the other 119 "knife attacks" that day, it made the national news, and put officialdom on the backfoot. Thus, last Saturday, the Fédération française de football ordered a minute's silence in Elias's memory at all matches in Paris and across the country.

And, even as the nation rose in dignified hommage to fourteen-year-old Elias, just ten miles south the gendarmes were securing a crime scene in the woods at Épinay-sur-Orge, where the body of eleven-year-old Louise had just been discovered. She had been intercepted while leaving school the previous day...

Do these globalist Euro “metrosexuals” think they can control the middle eastern, subhuman detritus that is sinking their countries?
European citizens- your gun control laws be damned- prepare to defend yourselves.

One problem, even Steyn won’t state the obvious of WHO is doing the stabbing France. We all know who it is. Why doesn’t Steyn include that in his article?

Because sometimes you gloss over the obvious. Not many non-conservatives read Stein so many he thinks it is a known fact.

If you had read the article, you would have seen this...

Jean-Pierre A has died of his wounds; Mohammed Z has been taken into custody.

That didn’t seem like a statement if fact, but more an attempt by Steyn to insinuate that was who doing it. I would have liked to see him just flat out call out that it was the result of France’s death wish of Muslim immigration, i.e., diversity.
