I spent a month this summer in a city in southern France, where I had occasion to study the effect of its Muslim Arab population on the tenor of life. Muslims were present on the streets, in the cafes, in the parks. I had not remembered them being out in public in such numbers when I last visited the city two years ago. I noted several new mosques that hadn’t existed two years ago. Streets here filled with hijabbed women, always with several children in tow — by my count, at a minimum each Muslim family had at least three children. By contrast, I almost never saw a French family with more than two children.
The Muslim women were striding confidently along, not making way, out of simple politeness, for anyone walking towards them in the crowded city streets. I encountered from time to time groups of Arabs, usually young men, sitting on sidewalks and stoops – did they not have any work to go to? – refusing to move for any Frenchman (or a visitor like myself), instead requiring the French pedestrians to make a detour around them by walking in the street. Micro-aggression, a maddening sign of triumphalism (“you must give way to us”), an assertion of their power, as Arabs, as Muslims, the “best of peoples,” over the French who, as Infidels, are the “most vile of created beings.”
Graffiti in Arabic can now be found in many parts of the city, no longer confined to the suburbs where the Arabs live and congregate. These graffiti proclaim god knows what — Allahu akbar? — but I doubt if any of it would please the native French if they understood it. There were also antisemitic graffiti in bad French, clearly written by Arabs, but not confined to Arab neighborhoods of the city. These scrawls included “Kreve les Juifs” – “Kreve” being a subliterate rendering of “creve” from “crever,” “to die.” The meaning of this graffito is “Let the Jews die.” Other signs were directed at the French. These include “Niquez les Français,” meaning, roughly, “F**k the French.” These graffiti have been allowed to stand, not painted over, possibly because the authorities believe that removing them would not be worth the time or money, as they would only be instantly replaced.
The Prefecture has, from last year to this, decided to more than double the number of gendarmes in the city. Everyone knows why: it’s to deal with the rise in violent street robberies and in house burglaries by the Arabs and Muslim Africans. Muslim young men in groups can be found not just sitting on sidewalks, but relaxing in outdoor cafes, where they sit for hours nursing a bottle of water, which gives them the right to remain at the cafe as long as they want. And so they do. Their idleness offends me. Do none of these people work? And just how much is the French government spending on them that they can indulge in such idleness?
The number of shisha shops, where Arabs can use the hubble-bubble pipes, has noticeably increased in the last two years. Several new ones that did not exist two years ago when I last visited have now been opened just on the street where I was staying. It’s one way for Arabs to pass their time, secure in the knowledge that the generous French government will provide for their every basic need: housing, medical care, schooling, even family allowances that were originally meant as pro-natalist measures, intended to encourage the French to have larger families. Instead, the French government now finds itself supporting not French families, but the much larger Muslim families. In the city, many Arabs, to judge by their presence on café terrasses, park benches, and city sidewalks and stoops, manage to while away the hours, day after day. Perhaps their wives are hard at work; I don’t understand these hours of idleness.
Some graffiti by the Arabs vandalize existing signs. Posters of Simone Veil, a Holocaust survivor who was a former French Minister of Health and President of the European Parliament from 1979 to 1982, have frequently been defaced, with swastikas painted over her face. Wall graffiti attacks on Macron’s posters read “Macron Jew Bitch.” In the 18th arrondissement in Paris, according to a friend, the words “Truie Juive” – “Jewish sow” – have been painted on shopfronts of what, I presume, are Jewish-owned stores.
At the main entry to the city of Avignon, a gigantic fresco was painted on a wall this summer. It shows Macron as a puppet, dangling from the strings held by the puppeteer, depicted as the well-known Jewish economist and former adviser to Mitterand, Jacques Attali, his “Jewish features” distinctly exaggerated. It took a while, but Jewish organizations finally got the city to cover up the fresco for its obviously antisemitic content. Other antisemitic visuals have shown Macron placed in the center of a circle of advisers, many of them clearly Jewish.
In Paris, the façade of the prestigious Sciences Po, one of the “grandes écoles,” was defaced with graffiti, including “Mort à Israel” (Death To Israel) and “Koufar” (Kuffar, or Infidel), a word that is aimed not at Jews alone, but at all non-Muslims.
The “Gilets Jaunes” are groups of leftist protesters who for almost a year have been appearing for weekend protests in many French cities, manifesting their rage against the state, and proclaiming a variety of free-floating grievances. One of their posters reads “Contre Racket Fiscal Judeo-Bolshevique Sur Les Carburants” – blaming “Jewish Bolsheviks” for the rise in the price of gasoline and heating oil. While the Gilets Jaunes are not a Muslim group, a number of Muslims have hitched their wagon to the left-wing Gilets Jaunes, showing up to join their protests. Some Jewish shops in France have had “JUDEN” written on their storefront windows, which brings up terrible memories of Kristallnacht on November 9-10, 1938.
The groups of Arabs sitting on sidewalks and stoops, and instead of getting out of the way, force French people to get off the sidewalks and walk in the streets, are malevolently exercising their dominance. Perhaps the more than doubling of the local force of gendarmes will be sufficient to discourage such bullying thugs. Perhaps those caught painting antisemitic or anti-French graffiti can be given serious sentences, instead of the slap on the wrist that they currently receive. Perhaps street robberies will go down, house burglaries will decrease, and the drug trade that North Africans control dealt a mortal blow by this sudden increase in the numbers of police.
The growing Muslim population in the French city I lived in during August created an underhum of menace, where Muslim toughs were intent on making life difficult the French whose city they were treating as their property, which, if current demographic trends continue, it eventually will be. The indigenous French with whom I spoke all agreed, without exception, that there was a profound “problem with Muslims,” and they were hoping for politicians in Paris to do something. But what? Shutting down mosques where Muslims have been “radicalized” or expelling “extremist” imams back to North Africa won’t be enough. They are hoping that the government will eventually realize it must put a halt to all further Muslim immigration, and will be prepared to expel Muslims to their countries of origin if they break the law, rather than paying for their upkeep in French jails, and then releasing them back into France where they committed their original crime and, where, we know, their level of recidivism is very high.
It’s the daily disruption of life, the menace in the air, the graffiti meant to insult and frighten both “the Jews” and “the French,” that chips away at the collective sense of wellbeing. The Arabs who run the drug trade, or who conduct street robberies, or commit house burglaries, or stolen cars (another favorite activity) have all contributed to the sense of insecurity that is now palpable. In the French family I was visiting, the husband has now armed himself, and his wife, too, with pepper spray, for he lives in the city center where, he says matter-of-factly, it is simply “no longer safe at night.” He was born in, and grew up in, this city that was always considered one of the safest in France. Thanks to the Muslim immigrants whom a succession of French governments have allowed in, all of them criminally negligent in not sufficiently investigating what the arrival of so many millions of Muslims would inevitably mean for the native French and the future of France, it is no longer so safe.
What I observed in my month in southern France was nothing so obviously alarming as jihadi attacks. Instead, what one sees is a slow degringolade, where the quality of life for the French goes steadily, inexorably down pari passu with the increase in the Muslim population. Those immigrants have been responsible for more street muggings, more robberies, more home burglaries, more aggressive behavior on the street toward the Infidels, more hideous graffiti against Jews and the “Français de souche” on the walls of buildings, more drug trafficking, more of everything that unsettles and frightens those French people who sense that they are gradually losing control of their own country. Macron is no Eric Zemmour, but he cannot continue to turn away from confronting the malign effects resulting from millions of Muslim immigrants who cannot, and do not want to, integrate into the society of the French Infidels. I think – I hope – that in his second, and final, five-year term as President, Macron will surprise us all by backing to the hilt his no-nonsense Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin, who has a good understanding of the Muslim menace, and is prepared to act aggressively for the benefit of the indigenous people of France.
About the only thing that will save France now is a strong leader, another Napoleon.
Quelle fromage!
The Moslem Population in France owes it’s situation to the NWO Globalist’s & their insane scheme to destroy the national culture to make way for their Global Government.
This is now the face of western Europe & not just France
Macron is one of the Globalist’s creatures presiding over the destruction of his own ancient nation!!! One must be a fool to believe that these middle eastern barbarians,on their own,trekked thousands of miles into north western Europe!
In reality they were brought in by the insane Globalists!
What will the outcome be?
The outcome will be massive bloodshed when the French decide that they will fight back!!!
Nukes.
This situation will soon end,for other reasons.
The EU financial situation will start to soon deteriorate because of the squeeze put on it by Russia…..It is my opinion that because of the deteriorating finances in the EU,the EU will soon collapse!……..When the Economic situation in these Social Democracies deteriorates past a certain point & living standards drop like a rock,…the fight for available commodities & goods will become extreme…..At this point the native French will go on the warpath against the Muslims
Same basic problem in the U..S., only our problem population is of a different ethnic ‘persuasion’, and it is obvious from the crime and prison stats–not to mention the videos on the nightly news—what that minority segment of the population is, which unlike the Muslims in France, has been ‘endemic’ to the USA for a long time. Real Americans in the still-majority (but dwindling) ethnic segment of the population know who and what the problem is, but dare not speak out lest they be exposed, ostracized, ‘doxxed’ or otherwise harrassed or intimidated in whatever manner—-by the media, their own left-minded family and neighbors, academia, or even the government if they get wind of it and decide to send in the FBI or whomever to terrorize the ‘culpri’t in order to make an example of them. Be you a member of the oft-claimed ‘oppressive’ majority, you dare not go into certain sections of cities, such as the south or west sides of Chicago, IL, or on many segments of the city rail/bus l transit network, without putting your life at intense risk. Contrarily, the criminal elements of said minority population segment are increasingly free to roam, rob, and shoot anywhere with less and less likelihood of apprehension, jail time, and prosecution as time goes by. But unlike France, we have no leaders in sight who are willing to forcefully ID the situation and push back against the overall problem, and that is perhaps the most worrisome factor.
This can be ended in America quickly by electing a government that will end all Welfare Benefits for illegals!.
Good point but he isn’t talking about the illegals!
Amen

The Muslim Population time bomb
As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in Bangladesh — Muslim 83%, Egypt — Muslim 90%, Gaza — Muslim 98.7%, Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%, Iran — Muslim 98%, Iraq — Muslim 97%, Jordan — Muslim 92%.
100% will usher in the “peace” of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in: Afghanistan — Muslim 100%, Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%, SomaliaMuslim 100%, Yemen —Muslim 100%..
This is from the book 2030: Your Children’s Future in Islamic Britain, which also icluded a prophetic warning about France, a decade ago.
This article paints a good picture of the future of France. The ethnic French, by abandoning their Catholic faith, are contracepting themselves to minority status in their own country. Abandoning the Christian faith also tends to lead to an inability to reason – in this case a lack of understanding and foresight on what open borders will do.
Speaking of faith, it seems this author has faith in a god other than the God of the universe. He writes, “These graffiti proclaim god knows what…”, with “god” in lower case, meaning some pagan “god”. Who’s his god? Vishnu? Shiva? Zeus? Apollo? He doesn’t say. Actually no god exists but the God of the universe. I suggest this writer starts worshipping the only God. One can read all about Him in a long document called Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, better known by its acronym.
Muslims are urban creatures. Perhaps the best the French living in cities can do is move to the countryside.
Deportation of all Muslims is the only answer to keep France French. These so called
immigrants are there to take over France and enslave the French population, it is
the history of Islam to do so when they have enough of the population. Could be that
France is on the burner for extinction in the new Caliphate.
Mr Fitzgerald,
I’m surprised at your naivete concerning the “fixing” of the problem. You really think Macron will ever do anything?
You think Gendarmes will be able to do anything? Have you not read Robert Spencer’s books or read Raymond Ibrahim’s articles?
That size of a population that hates every native French citizen, male and female young and old, and has zero respect for the rule of law but rather disdain for it as it is the wrong law – could at any moment take over the entire city if it wanted to and inflict severe suffering on its inhabitants.
The French are frogs in the pot and it’s getting very warm, uncomfortably warm.
The only solution is too brutal to contemplate for western countries, they will perish at some point.
A partitioning of the country could be a lesser solution to the one I just alluded too – but – that would mean reviving French pride, rebuilding families, and establishing borders inside France to save the native population.
I’ll leave the rest to the imagination. Look at Nigeria for some clues, or the Copts in Egypt, or Sweden.
Good grief, these people mean business. They tell us all the time, we should believe them.
Most of Europe is in big trouble – existential trouble.
Klaus Schwab’s pupil Macron is part of a long line of Globalist pawns. It is his job to flood France with ever more Muslims until they have the numbers to do a complete takeover and kill the French who refuse to convert to Islam.
Ditto for the rest of Europe except Hungary.
