FRANCE – ISLAM: Trying to Put Lipstick on a Pig.

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?

FRANCE – ISLAM: Was S. Huntington Right?

Paris, November 28, 2025, by S.G. Kazolias.

Marianne, the symbol of Liberty and the French Republic

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: Wokeism about to get a Rude Awakening?

Paris, Oct. 8, 2025. By Socrates George Kazolias

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.

Civil War in France Coming?

By Socrates George Kazolias, August 24, 2025.

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.

True American Exceptionalism: We, Us, Our vs THEM

Paris, France. July 4, 2025. by Socrates George Kazolias

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.

Zionists Kill not only Palestinians.

By S.G. Kazolias, Paris.

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.

France: Eric Zemmour is a Victim of his own Success

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.

23 Retired Generals, over 1000 Vets, say France on Brink of Civil War

If the government does nothing to stop “the disintegration” provoked by “Islamism and the hordes in the banlieue” then “tomorrow civil war will end the growing chaos, and the dead, for whom you carry the responsibility, will be counted in the thousands.”

Valeurs Actuelles Published the Veterans warning

That is the dire warning issued on April 13 and signed by some 1,300 retired Officers, including 23 generals, NCOs and other veterans of the French military. But it wasn’t until April 21 that the letter was made public by the conservative weekly Valeurs Actuelles. Since then, it has been a civil war of words between the left, the government and those on the right.

France: Thousands of Muslims Call to Kill Girl for Blasphemy

The Africanization of Europe

“A quarter of Europe’s inhabitants — more than half of them under the age of 30 — will be ‘Africans’ in 2050.” This is the startling conclusion Stephen Smith draws in his new book: La Ruée Vers l’Europe (The Rush for Europe). (1.)

The Professor of African Studies at Duke University has shaken France so deeply that President Emanuel Macron and National Front leader, Marine Le Pen, both referred to him in TV interviews in March.
