The Henry Jackson Society, named after one of America’s greatest senators and based in London, can occasionally be counted on for political common sense. But not this time, I’m afraid. The executive director of the society, Alan Mendoza, has just delivered himself of some remarks to Fox News on the Muslim riots that might have appeared in The Guardian. Here are some of them:
“What’s happening there [in France] is the consequence of a failure to integrate the country’s Muslim immigrant population,” Alan Mendoza, co-founder and executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital.
“The France of legend is far removed from the daily realities of life in a ghettoized community that does not have the same opportunities to progress and succeed as the native population,” he said. “France’s forgotten communities are showing that they will stay forgotten no longer.”
“The simmering rage felt in the banlieues just needed a spark to explode and is now being taken advantage of by an anarchical strain of French society that has always welcomed disorder in the form of rioting and looting.
Mendoza refers to a “failure to integrate the country’s Muslim immigrant population.” He must be unaware of the tens of billions of dollars the French government lavishes on that Muslim population, providing them with everything – free housing, free medical care, free education, family allowances, unemployment benefits (even for those who have never worked in France), and more. He must not know that a large part of the government now devotes itself to programs to “integrate” the Muslim population. But just as the Muslim recipients of so much government largesse lavished upon them show no gratitude, only a handful of Muslims – to the extent that they reject Islam – are willing to integrate into the larger society. Muslims, who are taught that they are the “best of peoples,” see no point in trying to integrate into a society that is run by the French Infidels who, like all Infidels, are “the most vile of created beings.” Furthermore, even simple friendship with the French is discouraged by the Qur’an, which tells Muslims that they “must not take Jews or Christians as friends, for they are friends only with each other.”
Mendoza says that the Muslims do not have the same opportunities “to progress and succeed as the native population.” He has things backwards. Government programs in France offer special vocational training courses to Muslims that are unavailable to the indigenous French. A French version of affirmative action makes allowances for Muslim “under-performance” at school to help push them forward nonetheless. Special programs at every step give Muslims a leg up on their French classmates. Some deficiencies cannot be helped. Muslims who grow up in families with ten children (meaning each child receives less attention from the parents than do the children in French families, where two children are the norm), where the mothers are often illiterate, where French is not spoken at home, have special classes in language offered to them for free. French universities take in Muslim students who, strictly on merit, would not qualify for admission. Local governments are encouraged to hire Muslims to work in their offices. Yet Mendoza claims that these coddled Muslims do not have the same opportunities “to progress and succeed.” He has things upside down: the Muslims have opportunities that are far more extensive than those provided to the indigenous French.
What about that “ghettoized community” that Mendoza complains of? It is the Muslims themselves who choose to live together, and in so doing, they gradually push out non-Muslims who find living among those Muslims both unpleasant and dangerous, as they are constantly harassed by their new neighbors. So neighborhoods throughout French cities are gradually transformed until no non-Muslims are left; they have fled for safer quarters. Thus are the hundreds of “No-Go” neighborhoods created, where non-Muslims fear to tread. Even the firemen have to enter such areas accompanied by the police, and the police themselves dare enter only in force. A “ghetto” implies that a population has been forced to live in a certain area, but no one forces the Muslims. They want to live in Muslim-only neighborhoods.
Mendoza claims that with the recent riots that “France’s forgotten communities are showing that they will stay forgotten no longer” is absurd. The Muslims in France are not “forgotten.” They are the main topic of political discussion, on radio and television, in the newspapers, in the speeches of politicians at every level. And from the right and left come different answers to the question of “what can be done with such a hostile population now living in our midst?” These are not, as Mendoza claims, the “forgotten communities” of the Republic.
“France’s forgotten communities are showing that they will stay forgotten no longer.” Also sprach Alan Mendoza. Yes, setting fire to schools and libraries and hospitals is a most effective way to remind people that you exist, and that you deserve far better. Who would not want to do more for Muslims after having seen the way their condition practically forces them to turn to pillage and arson? Mendoza speaks of the “simmering rage in the banlieues” where Muslims live, but does not ask himself if that “simmering rage” is justified. Beyond the tens of billions of dollars spent on these Muslims by the French state, to provide them with everything they need, and to bring them up to the level of the French themselves, what would Mendoza have the French government do? At some point, the government must ask itself why no other immigrant group — not the Chinese, nor the Vietnamese, nor the black Christians from Africa and the Caribbean, nor the Hindus from India — behaves in such a violent and hostile matter as do the Muslims.
Mohamed told Muslims they were ‘the best of peoples.; Hence they believe in their superiority and right to rule.
Also ignored is France’s and most of Western Europe’s pact with the OIC and much of the Arab world to trade mass Muslim migration for stabilized and relatively low oil prices, a policy that dates back nearly 60 years.
This was called a conspiracy theory but has been confirmed and throughly documented in the book “Eurabia.”
The great Robert Spencer enlightened me to this and it’s something that is swept under the rug.
Plus the even more important point that Muslims do not want to assimilate into French society. They are there to conquer and subsume it into first an Islamic republic and ultimately as part of the global caliphate/”umma.”
This is the same template used in the U.S. regarding its black citizens. They have no agency and are not responsible for their own pathologies and poor outcomes. It is all the fault of the wider society. Quelle coincidence.
I disagree with everything Mendoza stated. His lack of knowledge of Muslim history, religion, culture, and customs is reflected in the statements he has made. The first thing he does not understand is that a diversified society does not work. Once a minority has achieve a certain percentage level, they become more aggressive, demanding, and insist that everyone change including the government to satisfy their demands. He has not learn that lesson yet.
I like to remind him that on many occasions various Muslim organizations have stated repeatedly that it is their agenda to turn many countries in Europe into Islamic countries. They have no intention of integrating into any European country. That is a fact.
I would suggest he study American history to learn a valuable lesson. That is why America is falling apart just like France.
Yes, Mohammed told them to go out and conquer the world. The mosque in every place is their stamp of ownership. That was the ancient reason for aggression, now another has been added. The Clovis-Piven rule, used by the Globalists. A rule from two married professors at Columbia University, where Obama learned it. Instigate mass illegal immigration to overcome and weaken a society. The welfare distribution becomes an unrelenting burden and will collapse the country. This is the underlying plan to take down the West.
Cloward-Piven, not Clovis.
Mendoza, Islam in in Europe to conquer via the Global Jihad and therefore, integration is the farthest thing from their mind.
You “brilliant” pundits need to study Islam before you babble .
Another know-nothing pundit is Nigel Farage, who was offering his fact-challenged opinion on Fox News yesterday about the causes of the latest riot in France. His natterings echoed those of Mendoza.
Why have so few people read “Submission”, by Michel Houellebecq?
The novel imagines a situation in which a Muslim party upholding Islamist and patriarchal values is able to win the 2022 presidential election in France with the support of the Socialist Party.
FAILURE TO INTEGRATE?
Had that been the case, the immigrants would have been told to convert to a Christian religion, go to college, abandon that religion, work a job and live quietly in some apartment for 40 years, and perhaps raise children, but with demographics what they are, maybe not.
What a fraud! The entire world is under attack by these jihadists. No compromise whatever is the literal truth that they employ to justify their unrelenting attack on civilization. Yes there is racism involved: racism and bigotry is the central tenet of that terrible book which brooks no dissent. Ideology masquerading as a “religion!”
True what you say. The Koran is a war manual on how to take over & subjugate the Infidel Nations.
It started in Arabia & over time took over about 57 nations in the name of Islam. It will not stop until the whole world is taken over in the name of Mohammad & Allah.
After more than 20 years of failure in Afghanistan and elsewhere, the Henry Jackson society has learned nothing – it still thinks that all people are the same (that they are interchangeable), that, for example, religion, fundamental beliefs, does not matter. France has bent over backwards to treat everyone as French – sadly, tragically, it has not worked (I sincerely wish it had worked). But for the Henry Jackson Society to admit all this would mean that it would have to admit that is basic world view is wrong – which would mean that the Henry Jackson Society has no good reason to exist.
