Thus, the Harvard professor writes in the WELT:

“Great Britain and France had the choice between war and shame. The chose shame and will get war.” Winston Churchill’s famous criticism of the British and French tactics of delay on the eve of World War II should be a warning to the French president Nicolas Sarkozy. For this malicious fueling of emotions against immigrants in order to gain short-term poltical capital, he will first reap shame and then defeat. Sarkozy intends to take away the citizenship of native citizens in France if they are convicted of attempted murder of police, polygamy or “circumcision” of women.

Even though nowadays a majority of French side with Sarkozy, most French don’t reject Sarkozy’s leadership so much as they do his manner. In times of increasing unemployment and fear of the future, the French need a calming father or mother figure, and not a nervous and manipulative head of state who is prepared to throw ethical interests and the proud French tradition of equal treatment for all citizens by the law overboard. Being sympathetic to the rhetoric of slandering immigrants is no guarantee that they will reelect him in 2012.

(…)

But a pure “Law and Order” reaction to these problems will not magically repair the damage from the policies and neglect that have gone for years. Too much State is not the answer for failure by the State on a local level. Successful educational and integration policies need their time in order to be effective, and therefore, there will be no clear results in the next elections. To stigmatize the immigrants, above all Muslims, or to destroy the camp of Roma is much less difficult. This is where the truly opportunistic and amoral side of Sarkozy and his circles come to light.

Grounds enough for the advocates of “the true faith of peace” to feel uncontrollably insulted, particularly that the organizers would presumably come from an “extreme right” group. A similar plan of organizing a street festival with alcohol and pork in a heavily Muslim part of Paris had been forbidden some weeks ago (PI reported).

Especially worked up is the National Secretary of the Socialist Party, having the southern name Mehdi Ouraoui, “When Sarkozy imitates the ideas of the National Front, it is no wonder when some followers of the right-wing camp copy methods of the extreme right,” he said of the Haram cravings of the French citizens (note: ‘haram’ has the meaning of ‘forbidden’ in the Arab language).

(By epistemology / Translation: Anders Denken)

Of course it couldn’t have had anything at all to do with the exclusive claim to power and the thoughts of superiority of the most peaceful of all religions. And so, what is dealt with here is most certainly that of an unfortunate heaping up of various Isolated Cases™, for justified reactions to unsensible actions by the intolerant bio-French society of the majority and for desperate self-defense from aggressive French racism.

These four minutes are well worth the viewing. In the beginning it refers to better times in French history, when there was pride of country, its history, the achievements of the Enlightenment, and when it had its own identity. Also before left-wing warped self-hate convinced the French of a bad conscience because of the allegedly evil age of colonization, when civilized advances were brought to various underdeveloped regions. In this video, music and images meld to form a powerful message: Let’s defend this country with its cultural character!

The messages at the end of the film could be sprayed on walls everywhere in Germany:

Did you know that your grandchildren will say in 50 years, “How could you let it happen?!”

Open your eyes, your next victim could be you, your children, your wife!

We are all affected by this violence, these aggressions; France is your country — protect it!

Stop the anti-white racism!

I agree entirely with the statements in this video, with one exception: The matter here, in my opinion, is not that of “anti-white” racism, even though the slogan “hunt for whites” is used. The matter is much more that of the battle between civilization and Islam, as well as between enlightened society and antiquated barbarity. This only superficially has to do with skin color. There are enough people in France with dark skin that do not participate in these violent activities because they don’t belong to the Religion of Peace™. On the other hand, there are also male and female converts who are included to violent acts. The latter is especially true of the female examples.

The scenes in this video play out mainly in the region (department) Seine Saint Denis (93) in the area surrounding Paris, therefore the number also showing on the T-shirt. In this the impression is produced: “This region already belongs to us.” In three different cities there, the French flag was removed from the townhall, burned and replaced with the Algerian flag. How they burn the flag can be viewed in the film. In one of the pictures, a police officer can be recognized from behind. He is even decked out with helmet and shield, but upon directive from above, he still doesn’t intervene. My penpal writes in addition:

“The police was there and had received the command not to budge. The government is forbidding the police from entering the suburbs, otherwise that might be a provocation.:

The mother of three children knows precisely what she’s talking about. Her husband is a police officer and they lived in the greater Paris area from 1996 to 2008; during this time, she was in an accountable position in the Security Service. Her husband, therefore, has been in the middle of the turmoil for eleven years. There can hardly be any more speaking of riots, that would be criminal downplay of the situation.

“2005 was terrible! The immigrant bands burned children’s cribs (for children from 0 to 3 years) and schools (for children of age 3 through 12 years)! It was an open war!”

Civil war in the country of human rights and the Enlightenment. If France falls, then it looks even more somber for Europe.

“A short while ago, a robber was killed in Grenoble. The bands have laid the city waste! They have threatened to kill the police with rocket launchers!!! And the government has seen itself forced into evacuating the police so that they can hide somewhere in France…”

“The cops are second-class citizens“, that is the headline of an article the desperate young woman sent me. There, a police officer from the Anticriminal Squad (Brigade anticriminalité) , a special unit for fighting crime, who of course wishes to remain anonymous, reports of his depressing experiences. Conclusion: One gives in to the leaders of the bands and uses the police for canon fodder (at least that’s how they appear). If the police would only be allowed to police, then the youth would already clean up their act, but they simply aren’t allowed. Thus the statement of the police.

Almost everywhere in Europe these barbarians are allowed to do just about anything. In France and Great Britain, the situation is, of course, especially bad, since the Muhammadans settled there are very well the most aggressive in Europe. Here in Germany, we should see these countries as examples of warning. Resist the urges. After all, we have been allowed to experience twice in the last century what it means to be ruled by a dictatorship.

In Paris’ problem suburb Villiers-le-Bel, a patrolman intended to inspect an automobile, as the police union Alliance disclosed. Right away, some fifteen armed individuals appeared that shot twice at the officer. Nobody was injured. In Villiers-le-Bel and other Parisian suburbs it riots went on for days in November 2007 after two youth died in an accident with the police.

The flat of a police officer around 30km east of Lyon was also shot at during the night before Thursday, the Vienne district attorney’s office disclosed. There was nobody injured here as well. The investigators have ruled out a connection with the violent riots in Grenoble that occurred around three weeks ago.

In Burgundy, a police car was shot upon with live ammunition in a problem neighborhood in the city Auxerre. Just before, a young man, according to the prefecture, had fled from a police check in his neighborhood and was protected there by a group with clubs and rocks.

The Justice Department has got “to bang a fist on the table” after the series of attacks, the police union declared. “Grenoble, Auxerre, and now Villiers-le-Bel — these shots were fired by criminals ready to kill in order to prevent the arrest of an offender.

In Grenoble there were riots for many nights after the police shot an armed casino robber — the young man from a North African immigrant family had shot at the police who returned fire and fatally hit him.

The French Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux pointedly went on beat with the police in Grenoble. In order to increase security in the eastern French region, he furthermore set up a Regional Intervention Group (GIR). President Nicolas Sarkozy highlighted in Grenoble a short while ago that the government will wage a “national war” against criminals.

Just don’t talk about it! That is strictly forbidden.

Die ZEIT reports:

In the course of his new offensive against criminal activity, France’s president Nicolas Sarkozy is announcing strict measures. “Any person of foreign origin that attacks a police officer, gendarme or an agent of public order shall have their citizenship revoked,” Sarkozy said in Grenoble. In the eastern French city there were massive riots around two weeks ago.

In addition, for minors who have become delinquent, French citizenship will “no longer come automatic” upon legal adulthood. In the presence of Justice Minister Michèle Alliot-Marie and Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux, Sarkozy declared that the minimum penalties for violence against police, for example, will be raised after the parliamentary summer furlough starting September 7th. For the murder of a police officer or gendarme, 30 years incarceration is to be instituted again. Sarkozy also asked for electronic ankle bracelets for repeat offenders.

With an eye on immigration, Sarkozy spoke of an insufficient regulation over the past 50 years and of failure of integration. He spoke in favor of examining “rights and benefits” for illegal immigrants. “The war that I have decided to wage against black marketers and crooked individuals will take many years,” the president said, and he added, “that is a national war.” He is counting on support from all political camps.

The president defended the police who are repeatedly being accused of an excessively violent procedures, especially in suburbs with a high number of immigrants. In the case that led up to the heavy rioting in Grenoble, the officers did “nothing worthy of accusation,” Sarkozy underscored.

The newspaper Le Monde spoke of a broken taboo in light of Sarkozy’s plans for denaturalization. The president, who himself has a Hungarian father, distinguishes between those who settled long ago and naturalized French citizens. The threatened removal of citizenship brings especially to mind the Vichy regime that was collaborating with the Nazis, that removed the nationality from around 15,000 people

If Sarkozy is indeed finally unpacking the long promised pressure cleaner, then no comparison is to scurrilous to the xenophiles. This needs to be considered: Le Monde is comparing, out of political calculation and for the purpose of defaming a long overdue policy, innocent murdered Jews of National Socialism with the most hardened repeat criminals, thugs, murderers and drug dealers. The more they get on the defensive, the more obviously they show their true face.

Frédéric Lagache of the police union is himself aware of the desperation in the normal population:

“We are here so that security will be respected, so that the residents can live in peace. I have seen residents crying. Order must be restored.”

On being questioned why the “young man” whose death unleashed a wave of violence wasn’t just injured, Lagache answered:

“It’s easy to say that now. But when one is in the heat of the battle, believe me, it’s a little different. My colleagues have defended their physical integrity. After all, this person had fired three times with a military weapon into the windshield! You can’t imagine that. We can say that we were lucky that there were no casualties among us.”

The police repudiated the accusation of murder:

“That is simply unacceptable because it simply isn’t the truth. The Minister of the Interior has to support his police officers. He is there so that the law will be respected. For this reason, we are demanding that he carry out legal proceedings for us against the mother of the young man who has raised these unacceptable accusations against us. We understand her despair. That, however is no reason to stigmatize the police.”

Those who enrich France see it differently. For them, this hunt against the evil police is the restoration of justice, and certain media reports show great sympathy for this.

Die WELT writes:

Acts of violence against bus drivers in Paris’ suburbs are on the increase. In the latest case, three young girls beat up a female bus driver in Aulnay-sous-Bois because she wouldn’t make a detour for them. According to police reports, the incident happened last evening; the trio was arrested.

The bus driver who was beaten by three girls before the eyes of her 12-year-old daughter was treated at the hospital for shock.

Jose tells us this:

How did you happen upon this?
According to a TV report, it said they were from North Africa…

And lepato reports

@objective observer
It was clear that it was immigrants because that’s how they reported it on TV.
For us, the connections have been confirmed.

Is it clear so far? The comment area reads just about like it does here, and it’s nice that die WELT hasn’t deleted these comments. It would be even nicer, however, if information would not be intentionally kept back.

After that, Identitaire individuals laid flowers at the grave of the fallen city (photo), which was slain on the multi-culti altar of Immigration, Islamization and Violence. On the headstone is written “Ci-Gît Paris – Victime de l’Immigration” (Here lies Paris – Victim of Immigration). Despite the sadness, the action ends with a glimmer of hope: Paris is dead, but she can always resurrect to new life. Video of the action:

The Focus writes:

In eastern French Strassbourg, a man wearing the Jewish head covering kippa was injured by knife stabs. The 41-year-old was attacked Friday by two men in the center of the city, said a representative from the French Central Council of Jews (CRIF) in Elsass. According to him, it was an issue of “antisemitic assault”.

One of the attackers stabbed the victim twice in the back, the second one was armed with an iron rod, CRIF Representative Pierre Lévy said. The victim was brought to a hospital. The newspaper “Dernières Nouvelles d’Alsace” reported on their website that the man was seriously, but not fatally, injured. …

Early investigations have confirmed that it was an issue of “antisemitic assault by mentally disturbed individuals”.

Who were the two “mentally disturbed” perpetrators?

According to Libération.fr, one of the two was wearing a Moroccan Djellaba. The Dernières Nouvelles d’Alsace stated, “at least one of the two arrested is of the Muslim faith.” The Nouvelobs.com also writes about a North African.

And the second attacker? According to a description from 20minutes it mentioned a “Standard Nazi”: European, red-blond hair, stubbly beard, wearing a small beige cap on the head. And in all of this, the cap on the head and the stubbly beard might not otherwise sound so much like baldness perhaps …

Maybe this or maybe that; Saïd Aalla, head of the great mosque of Strassbourg doesn’t hesitate one inkling to judge the attack with outrage. Certainly this case deals yet again with the usual “warning stabs”, kind of like the ones we recognize from Frankfurt.

The case of a Muslim Frenchman who supposedly received government aid for his four wives and twelve children is causing the government to consider stricter legislation. Immigration Minister Eric Besson said Monday on the RTL radio network that he could imagine “a legislative development” where in such cases government aid would be withdrawn. Up till now it has been “very debatable” whether the man from Algeria who was able to secure French citizenship through marriage could be disallowed, the minister admitted. The Muslim man’s cover of social fraud was blown when the police stopped one of his wives because she was driving in a full-body burka — the wife retained an attorney in order to protest the police action.

Under the covering of tolerance, we allow ourselves to be ripped off and mocked, and we rejoice at how degenerated we are. Healthy common sense was yesterday. Today we have Political Correctness.

The Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger reports:

The preacher from Dancy, Hassen Chalghoumi, declares that he has been threatened with death for many days now. On Friday, he left the mosque under police protection and verbal abuse by believers. The Parisian media reported this on Saturday. Believers from Drancy called for the resignation of Chalghoumi as rector of the mosque on Saturday in a petition.

Chalghoumi advocates for the reconciliation of Islam with Judaism. He holds that complete covering as by burkas and nikabs are “means of sexist lordship [over women]” that have no basis in the Quran. This “very minority traditon” is even dangerous for the religion.

Some Muslims in France think otherwise and accuse Chalghoumi and his followers of being unbelievers, traitors and “Imam of the Jews.” Chalghoumi, therefore, filed charges and received police protection. Muslims from his fellowship affirm, though, that he is lying and exaggerating about incidents. In the petition that is circulating around the Internet, they called the mosque a “haven of peace” for all Muslims that should “not be misused for political purposes.” Chalghoumi is not allowed to speak in their name and must step down.

An Imam that advocates for the reconciliation of Islam with Judaism, and in addition supports a ban on burkas – of course the “true believers” can’t allow that to happen.

The Frankfurter Rundschau writes:

“It was hell,” the 40-year-old recounts; she has written a book about her experiences behind the veil, and next week it appears on stands in France. The green eyes, the long, slender nose, the full lips, the small gap between her incisors — everything was hidden from view. But even though the people on the street didn’t know what kind of person was hidden under the burka, they passed crushing judgment anyway.

“I experienced looks of disdain,” the artist tells. Men spat in front of her, passers by gave her the finger, spoke in a nonrespectful way to her. Fearful children ran away. Some brave ones would have squeezed her to see whether she were a ghost. The watchguard at the supermarket refused entrance.

The self-righteous person would shake a finger at the Islamophobes and put the blame on them, but the “cloth prison” is not uncomfortable just because of the Islam critic. The burka was created with the purpose of turning the woman into an object: without rights, humiliated, a thing. And we haven’t begun yet to consider the elevated temperatures under the veil.

“I had fear, I sweated, and I felt like a lobster in boiling water,” she remembers of her time under the veil. It was even a good five degrees (celsius) warmer in her cloth prison than it was without.

Lefranc has written about her burka experiences in a book called “Un Voile” — “A Veil.” She doesn’t wish to grapple with the current political debate, though. She’s an “artist” and an “atheist.” She will say one thing, though:

“Those who wish to wear a burka of their own free will must have good reasons for it, and those who are forced to do so have my most heart-felt sympathies.”

The recommendation submitted by an examining commission to the French parliament on Tuesday that would ban the burka from public buildings, buses and trains doesn’t go nearly far enough, the majority of French people feel.
