So, this happened in Central France, not very far from where I live, and the whole country is in shock. A suspected ISIS follower, who was a muslim french citizen from Burundi, walked up to a police station and started stabbing cops while shouting "allahuakbar", leaving two severely wounded. The attacker was then shot dead. France's law enforcement minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, is expected to come to the city without delay. But it is expectable that the only thing he will be able to do is admit the failure of the current government's policy towards radical islamism.
While politicians from the FN suggested taking away the french citizenship of those gone to fight in Syria, and arresting those who come home, the rest of the so-called political elite is being silent, even denying that there is a problem related to Islam within the french society, and that answers should be quicly looked for. The intelligentsia even approved the firing of political analyst Eric Zemmour for "islamophobic views" ( note: he was merely saying that France should fight harder against radical islamism and that muslims should put their efforts into assimilating themselves to the rest of society ) and launched fatwas ( sorry for the irony of my phrasing ) against novelist Michel Houellebecq for writing a satire book foreseeing a France crushed under an authoritarian islamic regime. Obviously you'd only need two weak neurons to figure out his purpose is simply to make the public more sensitive to the evils of Da'ech.
In 1905, the Radical Party, a French Republican Party advocating "laïcité", which is the french way of secularism, launched a successful political movement against the Catholic Church, that was still enormously popular and powerful at the time. This campaign even involved strong anti-religious dialectic, and it definitely managed to make blind faith and religious extremism recede throughout the country.
But nowadays, the heirs of these freemasons ( who always were very much involved with the French Empire, and then with the French Republic ), who are still holding many of the key posts in Government are doing nothing. Advocating tolerance and multiculturalism while french muslims are quickly radicalizing, they do not have any proposition to actually solve the problems. Worse, they often encourage elected officials to finance the building of new Mosques, regardless of the nature of the Imam's position on takfirism. That's a shameless betrayal of our founding principles.
So, not only is this dangerously masochistic, but it is also a violation of the very principles of the Republic, which is supposed to be separated from any religion or cult. Keep in mind that these are the same people that dare to call the FN unrepublican, while they have done a decent job at toning down the racialist rethoric once and for all, and while they're the only ones actually daring to stand up to these new challenges. I can't really support them, their economic policies are utter shit, but why are the others keeping their mouths shut? Fear? Cheer Stupidity?
What are your thoughts on the way the french should deal with all these new problems? What predictions would you make on the future of France, in the light of these events, and this governmental weakness?
Dude did you even read what I wrote? All muslims are not evil. I reject the notion of evil anyway. But french muslims are slowily moving towards radicalism, that's a fact. That is the problem. Not Islam altogether.
