Debate Heats Up Over Muslims In France

by Soeren Kern – March 17, 2011

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has fired a Muslim advisor  he recently hired to promote “diversity” after the appointee openly attacked the president’s plan to hold a debate about Islam in France.

The dustup reflects growing Muslim resistance to Sarkozy’s efforts to protect the secular nature of the French state from Islamic Sharia law, namely by calling for the estimated six million Muslims living in France to be better integrated into French society.

Abderrahmane Dahmane, a Frenchman of Algerian descent, was let go after he spoke out against a plan by Sarkozy’s center-right Union for a Popular Movement  (UMP) party to hold a debate on secularism and Islam. The debate, which has been scheduled for April 5, is on the compatibility of Islam with the rules of the secular French Republic.

Le Pen Is Mightier

Why, just four years after its supposed demise, does France’s National Front have its highest poll ratings ever?

Mar 14, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 25 •  Christopher Caldwell

“I used to worry about the National Front,” a middle-aged writer told me when we met in France in February. “Suddenly I’m beginning to wonder if I’m not further to the right than they are.” The National Front, or FN, has been Europe’s archetypal fascistic party of recent years. Founded by Algerian War veteran Jean-Marie Le Pen, anathematized in the media, manipulated by Socialist president François Mitterrand as a means of dividing his opponents, it was embraced by ex-colonists, ex-Communists, and the unemployed as a vehicle for protesting the changes that mass immigration brought in its wake. Le Pen was offensive, clownish, unpredictable. He defended Saddam Hussein in the first Gulf War. He described the Holocaust as a “detail” of World War II. He walked onstage with a photo of the head of a Socialist minister on a platter. And in 2002, he shocked the country by taking 17 percent in the first round of the presidential election, finishing second and eliminating the Socialist candidate. That episode led to a national soul-searching that has not yet abated.

An estimated 5 million Muslims live in the ZUS – Zones Urbaines Sensibles -, parts of France over which the French state has lost control.

Masser af kriminelle muslimer

Muslim Christmas in Europe

“Another Offense Is ‘Claiming God Has a Son.’”

by Soeren Kern – January 6, 2011      

Europe’s Christmas and New Year holidays this year were overshadowed by widespread Islam-related controversies in nearly every European country — conflicts that reflected the growing influence of Islam thanks to mass immigration from Muslim countries, and an ominous sign of things to come, considering that Europe’s Muslim population is expected to double by the end of the decade that began this week.

Some of the most heated multicultural dust-ups during the December 2010 holidays took place in Britain, where a Muslim group launched a nationwide poster campaign denouncing Christmas as evil. Organizers posted across Britain thousands of placards claiming the season of goodwill is responsible for rape, teenage pregnancies, abortion, promiscuity, crime and paedophilia. They said they hoped that the campaign would help to “destroy Christmas” in Britain, and instead lead to Britons converting to Islam.

20 mand stort Al Qaeda-netværk anholdt

Mindst 20 muslimer er blevet tilbageholdt efter en stor razzia i Italien, Storbritannien, Portugal og Frankrig. Myndighederne har

beslaglagt giftstoffer, udstyr til at fjern-detonere sprængstoffer og manualer om partisankrig.

Det skriver Jyllands-Posten.

Eleven suspects were arrested in the northern Italian cities of Milan, Reggio Emilia, Imperia and Bergamo, while nine were arrested on warrants issued elsewhere in Europe, Italian news agencies reported. Authorities in Britain, France and Portugal confirmed arrests.

Det oplyser Fox News. Hos Berlingske Tidende skriver man, at formålet var:

at hverve selvmordsbombere i hele Europa til Irak og Afghanistan. En af de anholdte – en 24-årig mand fra Tunesien – var ifølge det italienske nyhedsbureau ANSA parat til at rejse til Afghanistan for at sprænge sig selv i luften.

Cellens hovedsæde lå i byen Reggio Emilia, der er grundigt islamiseret. 

CNN kalder de anholde for jihadister og salafister. Salafisme er det samme som wahhabisme. De anholdte muslimer hvervede bla. selvmordsbombere foran moskeerne i italien.

Burka forbudt i flere italienske landsbyer

I en lille italiensk bjergby er kvinder i ført burka ikke velkomne. Sidste uge besluttede byrådet i landsbyen Camerata Cornello at forbyde den muslimske heldragt, der kun blotter kvindens øjne ofte gennem et stofgitter.

Det skriver Berlingske Tidende, som også angiver baggrunden:

Forbuddet blev sat på dagsordenen af kommunalpolitikeren Alex Galizzi. Han er træt af burkaklædte kvinder, der hver søndag mødes i byens park til frokost og for at bede, og som vasker deres fødder i de offentlige toiletters håndvaske.

»De har generelt en uacceptabel opførsel, særligt fordi haverne bliver brugt at vores børn,« siger Alex Galizzi

Flere kommuner følger samme linje:

I den lille naboby Caravaggio har klædedragte kostet Nadia Hassan Mohamed Abdou Salah dyrt. Kommunen har besluttet at udstede bøder til kvinder, der ikke overholder forbudet. Efter en række bøder lever den egyptiske kvinde indendørs, skriver lokalavisen Giornale di Treviglio.

Forbuddet har også fæstet rod i nabokommunen Costa Volpino. Sikkerhed er igen blandt politikernes begrundelser, der også fremhæver, at burkaen for dem repræsenterer kvindeundertrykkelse.

Desuden er der en retssag på vej imod hustruen til en terrordømt tunesisk imam. Monia Mzougi Trabelsi nægtede at tage sin burka af under retssagen, skriver The Middle East Times:

Monia Mzougi, 37, is to be tried under 1975 public order legislation barring people from wearing clothes that conceal their identity from security personnel “without a valid reason.”

Alt i alt en diskussion, der minder meget om både den hjemlige debat og de diskussioner, man har i resten af den vestlige verden. Hvor er det ulykkeligt, at politikerne har trukket denne forfærdlige indvandring ned over hovedet på befolkninger, der er imod den. Det er hæsligt at være vidne til alle disse muslimske demonstrationer af foragt for vores kulturelle værdier såsom frisind og ligestilling.

Hvorfor de er rejst til Vesten blot for at udstille deres vrangvillighed og manglende integrationspotentiale, er mig en gåde. Vores respekt får de aldrig. Tværtimod. Foragten for islamiske værdier vokser. Gudskelov. Der mangler i høj grad noget konsekvenspædagogik. Som Monokultur skrev engang: assimiler eller skrid.
