Le Jihad Francais redux


During last year's Muslim riots in France, I predicted that, based on the French government's reaction, this would be only the start.

This week, the media reports on violence flaring again in the Paris arrondisements.

`Youths' torched a dozen cars and hurled stones at police in a second night of violence in the Muslim enclaves in the Paris suburbs in Montfermeil and Clichy-sous-Bois, the center of last year's jihad festivities.

Six French policemen have been injured so far today.

Monday night was the real party, when bands of `youths' hurled gasoline bombs at public buildings, caused the mayor of Montfermeil to flee for his personal safety and roted in the the streets with baseball bats. Nine officers were hurt that night and the French cops used rubber bullets on the crowd. One police car was firebombed, and the police inside barely had time to get out.

Of course, the media reports take great care not to directly mention the dreaded`M' word in connection with the rioters, merely referring to them as `youths'...instead, they simply mention where the rioting is taking place, in heavily Muslim areas of Paris, and hope no one notices.

This appears to be a test run for violence planned later in the year...stay tuned...

Very funny, Louie!

JB-I appreciate the point you are trying to make, but I disagree, if you don't mind.

For one thing, the discrepancy you mention was prevalent in US society prior to the 1960's...and we saw nothing like Le Jihad Francais in America. Nor would we see it if things unfortunately regressed to those time...here's why.

The whole focus of the Black struggle and the civil rights movement post reconstruction was to integrate into American society and to become part of it....and that struggle has largely succeded. There are indeed still Black seperatists, but they are a tiny and declining minority, whose major faction (what a surprise!) is Farrakhan's movement, the Nation of Islam.

Le Jihad Francais comes from an entirely different place. There, people are seeking to differentiate and seperate themselves from French society and want French society to change to accomodate this.

They want to establish sharia in their own areas and eventually in all of France...witness the major disturbances over France's attempt to outlaw the hijab(along with all other religious symbols) in the public schools. And the attacks on French Jews and Christians.

Remember that the 9/11 hijackers and Osama came from the wealthy and middle class. It ain't about jobs, or college.

Islam's call to jihad trumps everything, JB. We do well to remember that.
