Should we be worried that nearly half the Muslims in France privilege Islamic Law to the laws of the Republic and that the figures among Muslim youth born in France are much more radical? Or should we be relieved that half do not?

Does it change the meaning of the figures if we say ‘Islamic Law’ rather than ‘Sharia’?

The left, counting on their Muslim electorate, and a few Muslim associations, are striking back at an IFOP poll which shows Muslims in France are growing more and more radicalised and hostile to the host country. Some are saying this is Samuel Huntington’s revenge. Is the Clash of Civilisations paper proving true?

Nearly half the Muslims in France, 15 and older, believe Islamic Sharia Law should be applied in the countries where they live, according to a study published in November by the French polling institute, IFOP.1  This adhesion to rigorous Islam is higher among those aged 15 to 24, that is to say, youth born in France of recent Muslim migration and holding French citizenship. The French model of integration does not work.2

France is in crisis. But France is not alone. The French (possibly the British too) will probably go to the polls within a year. The chaos may grow violent when, as predicted, the hard right anti-immigrant and EU sceptics come to power. After Marx’s The Civil War in France, the new version of the book could well be written from the other side of the aisle this time.

France and Britain are on the cusp of a civil war and preparations must be made now to minimize the damages. This is the dystopian prediction by a leading scholar at King’s College, London, Department of War Studies. The French right and press went to town with the story. After all, it is August.

Why do we Americans say “We” or “Us” or “Our” when referring to our country’s actions even when we deeply disagree with them while the Germans and French, for example, distance themselves from that collective identity when critical?

At least this is the case for my generation and my father’s generation, a period of European immigration and descendants of slavery with a solid Anglo-Saxon education and environment. I can’t say whether this is true of post 1970s immigration from other parts of the world.

German Lawmakers held a riotous debate over immigration on January 31 which was more reminiscent of parliamentary mayhem in Paris or Rome rather than the well-disciplined Bundestag.  Tempers are running high in Germany. The country is deeply divided.

Germany goes to the polls on February 23, at the height of the Carnival: the Catholic festival of partying, heavy drinking and debauchery. Usually, the clowns and monsters are reserved for the parades and beer halls. But the election campaign at the end of January brought the clown world to the fore where lawmakers were yelling, shouting, huffing and puffing, over immigration and whether or not it is ‘Catholic‘ to accept the votes of the ‘extreme right.’

Zionism is the greatest threat to our freedom of speech and assembly in the West today. Zionism is also the number one vector and promoter of antisemitism on which it thrives.

Zionism is not only threatening world peace and social cohesion. It is also tearing families and friends apart. It has overwhelming control and influence over the media. Its promoters, as mainstream pundits, have confused many well-meaning people, leading to ruptures in family and friendship relations.

Stuttgart, Germany: by Socrates George Kazolias.

Germany’s right wing  Alternatif für Deutschland, AFD, made strong showings in the eastern German states of Thuringia, first place with 33%, and Saxony, one point behind the conservative CDU, on September 1, as was expected. Although these were state elections, their consequences are shaking the country’s foundations.

Le ‘scandal’ Houellebecq-Onfray a le mérite de nommer les choses et de souligner l’hypocrisie de ceux qui ne les nomment pas.

Voir, par exemple, la revue Marianne qui diffusa sur YouTube en décembre, un reportage sur le sort des femmes dans les cités et banlieues sans une seule fois identifier les salauds qui font régner la terreur, ni même parler de qui sont véritablement les fauteurs de troubles.

Whether Eric Zemmour announces his candidacy on December 5 at a major rally in Paris or not, he has already won the presidential elections. His tough talk defending his vision of France, its culture and history, what he calls a “civilizational battle” against “an immigrant invasion imposing a foreign civilisation on France,” has determined what the next president must promise he will do once elected.

The Left and Greens have been reduced to ashes where most hover between one and eight percent of voter intent, and Macron can do at best in the first round vote 23%.  The big question is will people vote this time? Zemmour may be the catalyst but he is a victim of his own success.
