France has had a long standing problem with illegal immigration. It is strongly parallel to the USA's problems with Mexican illegal issue, except for France, it's Muslims from the Mid-east and North Africa. Obviously, we in America have it better in this scenario because honestly.. Mexicans simply don't like to blow stuff up very often, go on Jihads..etc... But France is suffering now from what many are calling an internal Intifadah. This, imho.. has been brought about by several factors: Being PC and not calling things like they are (e.g.; people MUST integrate if they move to a nation, not given a choice as is the case now in France and the USA) and France's liberals being very against any form of forcing the evil doers (riots 2005) to atone for their wrongs and labeling it what it is; the forceful demands by a foreign agenda to cause discent to a national people and govt, for their own political and religious agenda (head scarves as an example). Muslims in France have demanded/been demanding that France change its laws to align itself with Islamic Laws (et al) and to the extent of causing a rift between the French peoples and the immigrant Islamic community. So whats the answer? kick them all out? can't and wont happen cause, to a degree, the liberals are right, it isn't "all" the Muslims there. Vote for La Pen ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Marie_Le_Pen ) who is, to the liberal left at least, the French Hitler, with his extremely tough stance on immigration (removing any immigrant with less than 3 generations in France)...etc. Seems to me though, that this internal Intifadah will keep going unless France enacts some extreme measures and lets the Muslims know that "when in Rome..." is the rule of the day.. If you go to France, you are French. Now, if they can only convince the Muslims....
Forget Europe. Europe is doomed. - Mark Steyn France is over. Its just a matter of time before its Islamo-France.
Was just pointing this out to a few that don't get it, over here. It's really too late. France is already under attack. I don't even feel sorry for them. It would make since that they start there first. The UK is next. Really, it's already in the process there too. But they have a few leaders left who actually realize it. Another 20 years, at most. It's really a shame. All it would have taken is standing up and saying no, standing up and fighting, addressing issues instead of sweeping them under the carpet. Oh well
I beg to differ. Could you explain why you think this? Afterall, the Conservatives are likely to win the next General Election anyway - Not like I care, they're all similar, yet the Cons. have a different immigration policy, a less tolerant one at that. Love your apathy there.
Do you read the news? France is practically in a state of war with Islam right now. Islam is winning. Britain is getting there; and is kowtowing to unreasonable demands already. If you do not see, and realize the situation, its unfortunate. Eurabia is here and Europe isn't even fighting back.
I've covered it a number of times. If you are not terribly poor, I recommend an excellent book. You might also be interested in Melanie Phillips. Oh, and what Lorien said.
Oops, I forgot! Yes, when marketers put together a video with made up facts to make millions off young angry white males with low IQs, they are really doing it for "the truth," and not all the money they make off the gullible
And makes them blind to a real invasion and war that is happening every day in their own backyard too. Pretty sad, isn't it?
Another good read related to France's current problems comes from this book Pirate Coast Knocking off the Barbary Pirates at first by the US. Ultimately leads to the French Colonies in N. Africa- hence the allowed immigration.
That's right mate. Bah I don't give a shit about it any more anyway. As long as my Islamic leaders let me have my PC, I'm happy
Wow, excellent post, ROAR. Looks to be a great read, and your drawing the historical line is quite apt. On my Amazon cart, thanks.
Always been fashionably late though eh? I reckon you guys wouldn't have given a shit whether we had been invaded and occupied, you lot probably would have open talks with Wilhelm or Hitler for Alliance.
There are a few things I think it is important to keep in mind: No one wanted war in 1938. The world had never seen anything on the order of the devastation in WWI, and Chamberlain's initial response, given the times, was characteristic. It wasn't "liberal" or "conservative," it was the S.O.P. for statecraft in that day and age - across every single western democracy that had experienced the blood of a mere 20 years earlier. British Tommies and American GI's bled together on the beaches of Normandy and after. I abhor dishonoring that. Were it not for a certain "third party" force - the Soviet soldier, his absolutely ruthless Generals, and the amorality of Uncle Joe, who cared for nothing and no one but Victory, we all might be singing the Horst Wessel. I love, as much as I love my own kin, the American men and women who gave themselves those many decades ago, now; but I am under no illusion that we did it alone. Much of the honor must also go to our British allies, and, uncomfortably, to Stalinist Russia and its minions.
