A major Muslim riot would be as much of a wake-up call to France, as the LA riot was to the US
Hmmm?
I, on the other hand, am a French patriot concerned with the interests of France. Am I supposed to go crazy with admiration for the Americans just because they are Americans?"
Of course not! We know French dislike Americans.
IOW, they are soon going to be little JENINS, and getting them "cleaned out" will be nothing like the LA riots.
This is a major challenge for the French.
Far from it!
There will be no will to do this, until something really big happens. The French Left will riot if the French govt tries to crack down on the Muslims. It will take something so big that the majority of France cannot ignore that this will determine the future survival of France as France
It's not about the Jews, it's about the "infidel" West.....
I think that if Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre or Versaille were blown up, the French would tackle the muslim ghettos, which would quickly become "Jenins".
Then at least the boil might be lanced, and the infection dealt with.
I've been telling everyone I know that it's imperative for the French to take Le Pen seriously. By just brushing him off, one ignores the real fears of the French people.
Some very insightful people that I know try to get it through to me how truely dangerous he is, but I still, having seen the anarchy in the Parisian suburbs, see that unless someone is willing to do the hard work of bringing this unassimisated rabble under control, the situation will only get worse, and like Le Pen himself says: need more violence to deal with.
Just wait until the French muslim enclaves turn into little "Jenins", giving sanctuary to terrorists and sniping at the gendarmes.
Then it will get very interesting.
You'd just have to hear/ see Chirac to see how out-classed he is.
Chirac is nauseatingly condescending.
Family just arrived that claimed that Chirac will never debate Le Pen because Le Pen will throw him off with his 'low-class' language (Chirac will not know how to respond). Also, Le Pen will manage to get as much media time as possible because pretty much any exposure he gets is tamer than his reputation.
I don't know how to read this. Anyone (unlike myself), who has lived in France for the past 20-30 years is CONVINCED that he is like Hitler.
My son came home with a joke that Le Pen supposedly said:
'When I get voted in, I'll give the Jews 40,000 francs to leave France. The blacks I'll give 5 minutes!'
This just seems odd, in light of this interview.
There's talk of a large block of voters who will vote for Chirac, but with gloves on, or with tweezers holding the ballot. (Oh, the French, for symbolism....)
The liberals are against French and Israeli nationalism but they are in full support of the Palestinian nationalism. It's going to be interesting to watch this election because the liberals will be shown for what they are.
What will they advise be done then? Make peace? Cede the former French territory to the world wide islamic umma?
