So the latest round of rioting in France seems at last to have burned itself out. In the end, it didn’t expand into a Muslim revolution; it didn’t succeed in overthrowing the French Republic; it didn’t lead to the first transformation of a Western republic into a sharia state. But this doesn’t mean that France won’t eventually be brought down in such a way, and sooner rather than later. All it will take is one more minor police action that triggers the nation’s Muslims into a tsunami of fierce and extraordinary violence – a tsunami that, unlike this time, doesn’t end until it makes the Reign of Terror look like a scene from Gigi.
Certainly the cooling-off of Muslim rage owed nothing whatsoever to the efforts of Emmanuel Macron or any other French leader. Nor did it owe anything to the French electorate which – although it’s been offered the opportunity in recent years to install in the Élysée Palace a principled and intrepid agent of change like Marine le Pen, Valérie Pécresse, or Éric Zemmour – has instead voted repeatedly for more of the same. Voted, that is, for hopeless establishment types like Macron, who over the years has spoken out of both sides of his mouth on the immigration issue – celebrating Muslim imports as an economic boon, then formulating a five-point program to defeat “Islamic separatism,” then “clarifying” his plan with a declaration of his deep respect for the Islamic faith.
Well, there’s one positive thing to be said about last week’s riots: they brought Western Europe’s alarming predicament into focus in a manner that few events in recent years have succeeded in doing, and, one can only hope, have opened the eyes of a considerable number of people who’d previously managed to avoid facing up to reality. How many people? Who knows?
Even before the rioting, to be sure, most Frenchmen understood very well what they were up against. Although heroic truth-tellers like Zemmour have been condemned in the French media for promoting the so-called “replacement theory” – i.e., the belief that native Europeans are being gradually supplanted by foreign peoples whose mass immigration over recent decades is the consequence of policies instituted by political elites without the consent of the populace. In fact, surveys have shown that most Frenchmen subscribe to the “replacement theory.”
But most of them also recognize just how dangerous it is to state publicly just what they think about these matters. On Monday, July 3, Christophe Cornevin reported in Le Figaro that two-thirds of French citizens polled before the recent spate of rioting would never consider running for public office because they “would fear for their safety or that of their family.” This followed a January 2022 report by Le Figaro that “no fewer than 1,186 elected officials” in France, including 162 members of parliament and 605 mayors or deputies, had been subjected to physical attacks “in the first eleven months of 2021.” Imagine how much higher a proportion of Frenchmen will shrink from political involvement now, after the homes of several mayors across France have been targeted by rioters.
Meanwhile Macron blamed the nationwide agitation on – believe it or not – video games. The New York Times managed to avoid focusing on the titanic scale of the turbulence by treating it all as a political challenge for Macron as well as by running an inane article about one Mama Diakité who, during the rioting, was banned by a court from wearing a hijab when playing on a soccer team – a ruling that, according to the Times, underscored the same “long-simmering issues of identity and inclusion in France” that, in that newspaper’s view, explain the killing of Nahel Merzouk and the convulsions that followed.
In the magazine Foreign Policy, you could read that the French rioting was caused by “systemic violence and racism” on the part of French police (a claim supported by quotes from not one but two French professors). Similarly, you could read a Washington Post article entitled “How the killing of a teen fits into France’s history of police brutality,” and, in the Los Angeles Times, an Associated Press dispatch headlined “Shooting in France shows U.S. is not alone in struggles with racism, police brutality.”
In France, a Le Monde editorial noted, fairly enough, that “the political consensus to overcome the democratic crisis seems much weaker than in past crises,” pointing out that while far-left politicians like Jean-Luc Mélenchon have, in their usual fashion, attributed the riots to grinding poverty, Zemmour has described them as “the prodromes of a civil war” – the word prodrome, in both English and French, meaning “an early symptom that signals the onset of an illness or disease.”
Surfing the net, I came across a bracingly frank take on the French crisis by an Indian columnist, Arindam Mukherjee. “West Europe, through France,” he wrote on July 3, “is having a sneak peek at how its moment of reckoning will look.” Yep. “The proverbial chickens have come home to roost, and there is nothing that their governments can do or are willing to do about it. They can best put it under the carpet and pretend that all is well.” Mukherjee lamented that “momentous works” like Douglas Murray’s The Strange Death of Europe and Michel Houellebecq’s Submission “fall uselessly by the side as the politicians in governments continue serving their globalist overlords, and the legitimate population continues to be ignorant, indifferent, and unorganised.”
Ten years ago, I wrote here about a nonfiction bestseller, La France Orange Méchanique (France Clockwork Orange) by the pseudonymous Laurent Obertone, whose subject was the extraordinary increase in violent crime throughout France that has been caused by mass immigration from the Muslim world. “From 1830 all the way up to the outbreak of World War II,” I wrote, citing Obertone, “French crime rates were a tiny fraction of what they are now; from 1980 to 2000, the rate of violent crime multiplied by a factor of five.” And one thing you can be sure of is that that rate hasn’t declined in the 23 years since.
After La France Orange Méchanique, Obertone published a dystopian novel, Guerrilla (2016); two sequels followed. These fictions (which I haven’t read) imagine a French civil war that begins with a clash in one of the immigrant suburbs between police and a violent youth gang. On June 30, in the midst of the riots, Obertone granted an interview to a French website in which he acknowledged that the killing in Nanterre that triggered the recent wave of destruction bore a “striking” resemblance to the events that set off the war depicted in his trilogy:
The government is just as cowardly, the suburbs just as quick to ignite, the citizenry just as passive, the police just as muzzled, the media and other left-wing hustlers just as perfect in their active complicity….as I’ve been saying for a long time, this country is a can of gasoline with only a spark missing.
Obertone asserted that the French government “could regain popularity if it responded with real firmness” to the Muslim rioting. But, he said, France’s leaders are too “terrified” to do nothing other than issue empty promises, make empty speeches, and pretend that everything is just fine – right up “until the next episode” occurs. “The problem,” Obertone explained, “seems to them far too big to face.”
And what of native Frenchmen? The majority of them, Obertone lamented, are still maddeningly passive. Disinclined to speak up about the Muslim immigrant problem, they cling to the hope “that things will settle down” and that their lives can return to normal “without too many shocks.” Such a stance by the general public during what is “arguably the greatest ordeal [France] has ever faced,” Obertone complained, is dragging the Republic into a position of ever greater “laxity and submission” – which, unless the French surprise us all by finally waking up and taking action, is guaranteed, alas, to lead the land of Voltaire, Pasteur, and Flaubert to a highly predictable, and terribly tragic, end.

Apologies to Joni Mitchell:
In France they Riot on Main Street..
Downtown, my darling jihad thief
In the war on infidels Allah Acbar rang sweet as victory
Behind burning cars a bomb went boom
And infidels were dying in a suburban room
I said take me to burn down France, want to burn down France
I hated France
And I told him don’t let Allah down
They seem so removed from the Quran

Mark Dunn says
They are not ‘removed from the quran,’ they live out teachings of the quran. Note I refuse to capitalize muhammad, quran, islam and other evil words.
jeremiah says
how about Slimes?
Johnnie the jew says
Who can blame you. Islam is a political ideology that masquerades as a religion and all criticism is banned. Welcome to the overthrow of definitive western culture
David Ray says
I tend not to capitalize those words either.
I used a quran as kindling once(enough to start about 7 campfires.)
That quran lost it’s use, after the exceptional Brigitte Gabrial informed her audience that the quran I had was a sanitized version – sold only to western, English speakers.
Andrew Blackadder says
I picked up a free copy of the quran when I was last in Malaysia, I live in SE Asia, and after reading through 3/4 of it I threw it in the garbage bin and then the next day realized I could use it as a door stopper as the wind sometimes would slam my front door closed and this worked out well until a massive monsoon rains hit my front door as I was out and about, I can leave my front door open where I live, and the big thick book, for wee thick people, was totally soaked through and so I threw it where it first belonged… in the garbage.
John galt says
Just as forecast in “Camp of the Saints” 80 years ago, the invaders are destroying France with the complicity of their feckless leaders, who are more likely to send the army against any who try to defend themselves against the Muslims. Just as related in the Camp of the Saints, same may be in store for the EU, and even the US from our 7 million illegals under China/Cartel Joe.
Adam Minsky says
Camp of the Saints was written fifty years ago.

I think you mean “wearing a hijab” not “wearing a jihad”
Miranda Rose Smith says
You took the words right off my keyboard. Thanks, Kosh’s Shadow

It was surely a Freudian slip on the part of our author. I knew what he meant and what it meant to us.
Bruce Bawer says
Thanks, folks. Yep, a Freudian slip if there ever was one.
Poetcomic1 says
Hijab = Jihad, It’s just a synonym.
Jeff Bargholz says
I’m always amazed that many moslem women claim to be proud of their hijab emblem of sexual inferiority. But then, I notice all of them are Western and Near Eastern women who don’t actually experience female bondage, or real sexual slaves who are forced to express false pride.
islam is a disease.
Jeff Bargholz says
Good job. Real men admit their mistakes. In this case it was a minor slip up but we all have those. Nobody’s perfect. 🙂
P.S.,
your avatar photo is much better than your FPM author photo. You should use your avatar photo. Just saying. I’m sure it looks more like you than that FPM one.
Mark Dunn says
I read the poem three times the words ‘wearing hijab or jihad’ are simply not there.
P Bro says
I ran Find on this whole page and it’s nowhere.
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
Wearing the jihad is appropriate too. France is now in the changeroom, forced by consequence, to wear the grubby rags of jihad. Sapristi! When are they going to wake up?
dani says
I’m afraid the reaction will be similar to that of many Americans after 9/11 – indifference.

Yes, and the legacy media will be trotting out the same nonsense propaganda that it is institutional racism that is the problem.

Yeah, the legacy media has a false narrative prepared for almost all such events.

Fly flags, plant a tree, build a reflection pool with fountain, balloons, flowers, stuffed animal dolls, song, tee shirts, wear a ribbon, hold hands, get the Pope to kiss and wash feet, increase welfare payments, interfaith dinners, apologize for past colonialism, there is almost nothing a western government wont do stop Islamic criminal terrorism.

Mark Sochor says
The barbarians are no longer at the gate because you dismantled the gate. Muslim jihad towards world domination hasn’t subsided because you frogs wanted to play nice. Where are the crusaders defending your country.? That spirit is as burned out as the cathedral of Norte Dame. The future of the west is on the internet and the lessons of history continue to be be ignored and replaced with wishful thinking.
David Ray says
Notre Dame was gutted by a muslim.
They have a long record of burning Christian churches – so much so, that France has an average of TWO acts of vandalism a DAY.
Also there’s the fact that a jihadist bitch tried to park a car-bomb in front the day before the fire.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, I was lucky enough to have visited Notre Dame when I was a kid, when it was still in good condition. I still remember the stained glass windows.
Jeff Bargholz says
That must have been wonderful. I’ve been to every old Spanish Mission in CA, even one which is nothing but a crumbling ruin, but I’ve I haven’t been to Europe yet so I’ve never seen a medieval cathedral. I can only imagine the sunlight slanting in and lighting up the altar, or the organist playing Bach.
I’ll experience that sometime before I die, hopefully.
Semaphore says
Thank you for this. Come to think of it, I don’t know of any country with a well-represented muslim minority that hasn’t experienced serious violence against other faiths. These folks are more infection that immigrant culture.

Yeah, MSM coverage of the shooting of dangerous street criminal Nahel has been quite naive.

Yes, and the video which supposedly proves Nahell was innocent and murdered by that cop shows anything but. The shooting isn’t on video. It’s all a typical fake news media lie.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah Jeff, you’re streetwise, so you can see it also. So obvious. MSM viewers who fall for their lies must be very naive and not streetwise.

The Franks were the first barbarian tribe to embrace Christianity and became the founders of the Christian West.
As history reverses to the beginning of the Age and the pagan barbarians return……… it is no coincidence that the ancient rival to France(the Muslims) are returning to burn it to the ground.
Muslims, Africans and the modern day Celtic barbarians of the Left are all conspiring to destroy France and return it to iots pagan roots.
THX 1138 says
Yeh, the Christian West in other words the Christian Dark Ages, no different or less brutal than the Muslim Dark Ages now invading the West.
Plato, Aristotle, Euclid, Pythagoras, Aeschylus, Euripides, Homer, Cicero, Seneca, Epictetus, etc. were pagans. Pagan Greece gave the West rational philosophy, logic, math, science, historiography, drama, and magnificent, man-glorifying art. Pagan Greece gave us the base of modern civilization in every field; it taught the West how to think. Western civilization is Greco-Roman and pagan.
“In the ancient world, after centuries of a gradual decline, the choice was the ideas of classical civilization or the ideas of Christianity. Men chose Christianity. The result was the Dark Ages.
In the medieval world, a thousand years later, the choice was Augustine or Aquinas. Men chose Aquinas. The result was the [Aristotelian-Pagan-Greco-Roman] Renaissance.” – Leonard Peikoff
Jeff Bargholz says
Bullshit. The European Middle Age was nowhere near the abject barbarity of islamic realms.
Western civilizarion is based on Greco, Roman, CHRISTIAN, British and American cultures. The Middle Age was the result of the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Leonard Jackoff is a fatuous tard.
jeremiah says
The dark ages were more of an economic result because of the slimes blocking trade routes from the east.
Jeff Bargholz says
That too.
But Rome kept “The Pond” civilized and cooperative. It’s doom condemned countless people to unnecessary suffering.
The islamopithecines have been a bane on civilization since Mohammad crawled out of his fetid, feces ridden cave.
Intrepid says
I like that Jeff. The one who keeps hitting us over the head with “The Ominous Parallels” is also a fatuous tard
Freedom says
The dark ages were the result of Islam conquering the areas around the Mediterranean Sea which cut off trade for the Europeans.
The Christian Monks in the Monasteries saved and copied the writings of the Greeks and Romans which is why we still have them to enjoy today.
The pagan world was horribly cruel. Christianity improved the lives of many people including women, children, orphans, widows, and the poor.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yep. And Irish Monks were the top preservers of knowledge. That’s a little known fact. And the coastal Monks were subject to the depredations of the Norse throughout their existence.
jeremiah says
Love that how he Irish saved Western civilization. If I remember it was the isolation that kept the Norse from raiding.
Mark Sochor says
There was a period called the enlightenment ending the dark ages. Where is Islams enlightenment? Doesn’t exist because of their founder and the dogma he created.
Jeff Bargholz says
No, they’re still raping goats.
Intrepid says
Oh please, not The Christian Dark Ages again. I thought you outgrew that childish insult, At least Lenny uses the more accepted insult…..the Dark Ages.
Personally, I prefer the Medieval Period.
Greek philosophy, your foundation and bedrock of the rational and scientific beginnings and aspects of Western Civilization, folded like a cheap suit in the face of the spread of Christianity, which absorbed the teachings of your pagan heroes. Your heroes worshiped many Gods. So what is your problem with God? Without Christianity Greek history would resemble those ruins that everyone takes selfies at. Without Christianity no would remember or care about the Greeks.
“Western civilization is Greco-Roman and pagan.” Your desperation is getting more and more obvious.
Greg says
Query: Is it possible to care less about France than do the French?

We’re on the same path but instead of sub-human islamopithecines interested only in savagery, we’re replacing ourselves with wetback beaners who made their countries shitholes and want to do the same to ours.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, Mexico has fallen into the category of failed states or dysfunctional states or something like that. No wonder the people want to get out. I read a day or two ago that a new paramilitary group has formed somewhere in southern Mexico.
I keep trying to tell people not to travel to Mexico for vacation, but they go anyway, and I have to hold my breath and pray until they get back safely. You can live with people all their lives and not be able to communicate with them.
Jeff Bargholz says
I’ve been all over Mexico and I can write with authority that all of it sucks.
Well. Except for the magnificent museum in Mexico City and the greasy french fry stands they have on the streets. And Teotihuacan and Tepoztlan. “The Magnificent Seven” was filmed in Tepoztlan. I recognized the locale when I re-watched it a few years ago. There’s a magnificent plateau next to the the small town with a little pyramid on top. A nice trail to the top, too. It’s forested and the air is fresh.
And no, lefties won’t listen to reason. They’re all irrational.

Reminds of an old joke about the French. A Frenchman unexpectedly comes home early from work one day and finds his wife with her lover having sex in their bed and he excuses himself, says nothing, and leaves.
The following week he unexpectedly comes home early from work again and finds the same thing happening. So, he tells the wife and her lover “Please don’t this again or we’ll get into an argument”.

Walter Sieruk says
That Muslim rioting in Paris , France isn’t limited to that nation. Such Islamic rioting occurs in the other countries of Europe as well .as in for example Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark Sweden Germany etc. This unthankful Islamic spirit on the part of those lawless violent Muslims who immigrated to the countries of Europe may be explain, in part, by the fact that the Muslim fundamentalist group that even had the president of Egypt assassinated in the month of October of the year 1981 has a fifty –five booklet that is was written only for Muslims fundamentalists but was later discover by non-Muslims.
This booklet’s title is THE NEGLECTED DUTY. One scholar, Johannes Jansen who had thoroughly investigated Islam and Islamic terrorism has even discover that those Muslims, who had entered Europe of behaved in violent and heinous ways, are actually action out what they view and a sacred individual duty of the jihad as by engaging in awful violent criminal action in non-Muslim lands . As Jansen revealed that jihad booklet of Islam, THE NEGLECTED DUTY “contains all the ideological material needed to justify the attacks of 9/11 or any other acts of terror committed to frighten non-Muslims. And he thinks the document explains the criminal behavior of suburban and center –city immigrant youngsters in many European cities; its author clearly ‘sees Islam as license to kill rob and commit arson.’ “ [1]
Nevertheless, many of the apologists for Islam still have that blatant gall , in spite of all the facts of reality, to actually make the claim the Islam is a “peaceful religion.” What a totally false to make that Islam is “a peaceful religion “What Bull! A “peaceful religion” indeed.
[1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM by Ibn Warraq pages 308, 309.
Walter Sieruk says
Those horrendously horrible riots in the city of Paris along with the arson extreme violence and murder that is also part of it does have the insidious hand of jihadist instigation in it a major way.
Another jihadist evil in a smaller way but still very tragic was an earlier Muslim terrorist vehicle murder of a young French woman is a evil and tragic reminder that ISIS had called for and is still is calling for “lone wolf” Islamic terrors attack in France.
Even before that heinous intentional vehicle jihad murder was that jihadist shooter and murderer in Strasbourg are revealing if the vicious nature of both ISIS and I slam of which the Islamic “state” is built upon. There were also those brutal murderous Islamic terror attacks of Charlie Hebdo and then later th ose jihad ISIS attack in Paris, France, on November 13, 2015 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack. Then those vicious and murdering ISIS jihad terror attacks in Paris France on July 14, 2016. Even before those malicious ISIS jihad attacks an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1]
This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS. The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice. Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.
Therefore, it’s only a matter of time before the people who the citizens of the nation of France experience the horrors of another Islamic terror attack or attacks. In another city of town of France. In other words, it’s not a matter of “if “but of “when.”

It may be that most persons receive information about their Governments and “news” from TV sources which are controlled by and censored by their Governments. The “free press” is narrow and not read much by the “masses”, or as a departed genius friend of mine called, “masses of asses”. Then most citizens in the EU can’t defend themselves with much but an umbrella. (Or a prayer, which has now been outlawed).

For all those people that were understandably supporting J.K. Rowling for her stance on the actual difference between men and women, she still supports unrestricted immigration that allows this kind of violence and property damage to occur. I can understand how people may want to ally with a group or person that says some things they agree with. This can apply to those that support Putin because he is anti-woke/anti-EU or the muslims in Hamtramck, Michigan because they also do not agree with transgenders reading sexually explicit books to children.
Stephen Carter says
It seems only eastern Europe has any realpolitik awareness of how to hold back Islamic marauding. I. Poland they had to fight back 1 horrific modern-day wave after another of invading Muslims. There are virtually no Muslims in Poland.
It’s amusing who & what the Left so predictably blames for Muslim acting out : the West, Christianity, conservative governance, the police, et al.
I’ve often wondered that the only possible source of Muslim violence is some ideological element within Muslim faith itself. It can’t be racial or a psychopathy of Islamic societies or a mass formation.

I call it a narco-state as Mexico is controlled by multiple drug cartels fighting for influence.
In the past the Sinaloa cartel had the blessing of the government for the purpose of selling drugs to the gringos.
Today there are multiple cartels fighting it out for turf.
But the real story(to continue my idea) is that modern Mexico is the return of the ancient Indian.
The dark Aztec heart of human sacrifice and slavery is returning in the form of cartel violence.
Americans don’t understand that civilization is maintained by violence………..against criminal violence which is a form of barbarism.

France should have learn from the United States what a multicultural society has to endure. A civil war is the only outcome for that country. Germany , Sweden, Norway, England, and many other European countries will be next. If you want to read a really good article about the French riots go to http://www.rmx.news It appeared today on that website upper left hand corner.
Guy Jones says
The riots are transparently a jihad cloaked in a fig-leaf pretext and rationalization of protesting alleged “police brutality.”
This reality is demonstrated by the goose-stepping, brownshirted, supremacist/terrorist Muslim National Socialist thugs desecrating synagogues and a Holocaust memorial, among other atrocities.
