In an appearance at the French National Assembly, Minister of the Interior Gerard Darmanin insisted that “only 10%” of the rioters were “foreign,” while 90% were “French citizens.” That may be true, but those 90% were French citizens only on their identity cards. By their mental makeup, they were still the Muslim migrants whom their fathers and grandfathers had been. They still refused, as citizens, to integrate into French society, still tried to milk the French welfare state of every conceivable benefit – free housing, free medical care, free education, unemployment benefits, family allowances, and more – that it offered. They still saw the world through the lens of Islam. French citizenship did not change their view that, as Muslims, they were the “best of peoples” and the French non-Muslims who had welcomed them into their midst and provided such largesse remained, as Infidels, “the most vile of created beings.”
More on the response to Darmanin’s claim can be found here: “French riots: Top politician says ‘of course there is a link between immigration’ and devastating riots across France,” by John Cody, Remix News, July 5, 2023:
In a video that has garnered over 1.5 million views on Twitter alone, the leader of the Les Republicans senate group, Bruno Retailleau, said that it is clear that immigrants, including second- and third-generation people with an immigration background, were responsible for the rioting that caused widespread destruction across the country.
“I heard that (French Interior Minister) Gerard Darmanin, yesterday at the National Assembly, said there is no link between these events and immigration. Of course there is… I’ve asked many mayors. They all tell you that it’s precisely in the neighborhoods where there are migratory [migrant] ghettos. Certainly, they are French, but they are French in their official identity, and, unfortunately, for the second, third generation (of immigrants), there’s a kind of regression back towards their ethnic origins,” said Bruno Retailleau in an interview with FranceInfo.
The first generation of Muslim immigrants are actually more willing to try to fit in, so grateful are they for what the French state provides, than those who come after. It is the second and third generations of Muslim migrants, secure in their French citizenship, who become more hostile to the French, religiously more devout, less willing to try to integrate with non-Muslims. Bruno Retailleau was simply pointing out what everyone knows but few dare say: that the rioters were almost entirely Muslims, and having been granted French citizenship made no difference in their behavior.
The remark came after French Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin stated on Monday that there was no connection between immigration and the riots in France, saying that 90 percent of those arrested were French citizens.
However, Retailleau countered the French interior minister’s claim, saying that these rioters may be French citizens, but they are also second- and third-generation migrants who have not integrated into French society, and they have presented a serious security problem.
Retailleau said he feared that politics will fail to address the root problems following the week-long riot that caused over €1 billion in damage.
“We know the causes. And I want to reiterate them. Unfortunately, I’m afraid the government is tempted by the politics of failure. Once more, the French, the silent majority do not understand that there is a cold anger that is rising in the country. Because it is a double punishment for the French, because they paid into the neighborhoods, and now they have to rebuild because the savages burned them down.”
Everyone — except the demented politicians on the far-left, in the party La France Insoumise, led by the quasi-communist Jean-Luc Melenchon – knows that the Muslims alone were responsible for the riots. And the French, knowing how much their government has spent – tens of billions of euros – on the Muslims, whether citizens or not – are now enraged that after more than one billion euros worth of destruction by the Muslims, it is they, the indigenous French, who will have to rebuild the very structures, replace the cars and businesses, restock the shops, that the Muslims vandalized, pillaged, and burned down.
He points out that there are also issues in the schools, and the justice system’s response to these perpetrators, especially those who are arrested as minors, is “inadequate.”
Retailleau knows that the insubordination of Muslim students in the schools continues unpunished. The teachers are afraid of them; they don’t dare touch on certain subjects, such as freedom of expression, or any discussion of Islam, lest they end up like Samuel Paty. The Muslim students refuse, for example, to study certain subjects, such as the French monarchy, the Crusades, and the two world wars, for they are indifferent to French history – it has nothing to do with them, even if they are French citizens – and are especially unwilling to learn about subjects, such as the Dreyfus Affair and, above all, about the Holocaust, that would naturally cause sympathy for the hated Jews.
Retailleau also noted that the idea to hate France came from the French themselves, stating: “I think we share some of the responsibility. We simply don’t believe in France ourselves, and we’ve often presented France as an anti-model, a counter-example. How can you make young people from immigrant backgrounds love France if you say that France is detestable?”
It is certainly true that all over the Western world, there is a failure of self-confidence, a crazed belief that we in the advanced world have done great historical wrongs – slavery, colonialism, imperialism – and thus owe “the others” something, and at the head of the list of those “others” are the Muslims.
The left was quick to accuse Retailleau of racism after his remarks.
“This is a racist remark,” stated Manuel Bompard, the coordinator of the far-left party La France Insoumise.
One more time: Islam is not a race. Muslims are not a race. Islam is an ideology, one that is murderously hostile to non-Muslims. We see the dismal results everywhere that Muslims rule, and make life hell for Infidels who live in their countries. Con sider the treatment of the Copts in Egypt, the Chaldeans and Assyrians in Iraq, the Christians in Nigeria, and the Christians and Hindus in Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, Communist Party MP Elsa Faucillon wrote on Twitter: that this is a “racialist thesis par excellence. The right is slipping a little more every day.”
The week-long riot produced 3,000 arrests, hundreds of wounded police officers, thousands of arson attacks, and historic landmarks, including the famed Alcazar Library [in Maraseille], nearly burned to the ground. In one case, a flaming vehicle was even sent into a mayor’s home, nearly killing his family.
Right-leaning and conservative parties have pointed out that very few ethnic French people have participated in the riots, and for the most part, those who have are migrants or the children or grandchildren of foreigners.
It is not the presence or absence of citizenship that defines the rioters, but the presence or absence of Islam. Retailleau dares to suggest this, and for that, the leftists of both La France Insoumise, and of the Communist Party, choose to condemn him, preposterously, as a “racist” spreading a “racialist thesis.” More and more of the French, recently mugged nation-wide by the reality of Muslim mobs, are listening to Retailleau and the Republicans – the party of Marine Le Pen — with greater approval than they ever have before. More of the French are at last coming to their senses. Not a moment too soon.
“unfortunately, for the second, third generation (of immigrants), there’s a kind of regression back towards their ethnic origins”
Interesting point.
Read, “The True Believer”, by Eric Hoffer; it’s barely 180 pages long and is a magisterial work of philosophy and social commentary. You’ll understand everything about this ungrateful immigrant phenomenon.
I don’t get it. My grandparents fled Ukraine with the clothes on their backs and made a good life in Western Pennsylvania, where strong backs and willing hands were welcome regardless of religion or national origin. They found themselves in a paradise where they had the same right to succeed or starve as anyone else. How could I be other than filled with gratitude to this wonderful country, to the point that tears fill my eyes thinking about it, and about what so many idiots are willing to destroy… but I do not understand the idea of ungrateful immigrants. Few other countries would have taken my kind in but America did, and she deserves our generatons-long fealty and gratitude.
>>but I do not understand the idea of ungrateful immigrants
I’m telling you, read “The True Believer” by Eric Hoffer. It’s 192 pages short and he mentions Jews and Israel about 70 times. It’s a philosophical and sociological masterpiece. Read it and you’ll understand the lack of gratitude and aggression.
Maybe expel the communists along with the Islamists. I bet the communists would get along grandly in an Islamic country.
People, when hearing such accusations from the far Left/communists should always consider their motive in making them. Their motive is the destruction of the West and, by their logic, suppressing information about and criticism of Islam, which shares this goal, is meant to be harmful to the West and, in this case, France. It should be entirely disregarded.
>>It is the second and third generations of Muslim migrants, secure in their French citizenship, who become more hostile to the French, religiously more devout, less willing to try to integrate with non-Muslims.
This is a universal phenomenon amongst all immigrant groups in all places at all times when they have to coexist with other, more established and more advanced cultures. My fellow American Jews are, perhaps, the most egregious example of this. The solution? Choke off all immigration to the U.S. for two generations and then only allow renewed immigration in very low numbers.
I fear you’re right about at least some Jewish immigrants; maybe I am a freakish exception (see my comment answering yours, above). Did I succeed in implanting the seeds of patriotism in my own children? The answer is, yes, maybe, and yes. Two of my kids are pretty patriotic and the third seems kind of apathetic, so that’s not so bad. When I see my little granddaughters in their red, white, and blue outfits, excitedly waving their tiny American flags at holiday parades and concerts, I feel great, especially since these little girls are very Orthodox Jewish children going to the elite Beis Yaakov girls’ schools in New York. Sometimes it seems like you really can have it all. But the Saul Alinskys, Jerry Nadlers, Chuck Schumers, and other serpents in this Eden frighten me. They give anti-Semites more than ample ammunition to use against us.
Oh yes, and the entire Frankfurt School. When decent, G0d-fearing Jews who would have loved this country and been productive citizens were sent to the gas chambers, I think it’s a great shame that those German and other Western European professors got to come here. I wish that they had gone anywhere else.
High single digit percent of Jewish immigrants were dedicated Marxists, but a much higher % were Bundists and they were vulnerable to being manipulated by better motivated, trained and fanatical communists–along with Frankfurt School types. Add to that the mass secularization-and very deep culture shock– that occurred amongst MOST Jews and the resultant spiritual vacuum and they were easily lead astray. Now look at us. And, yes, it would’ve been better for everyone, especially us, if those German Jewish intellectuals had stayed in Europe.
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.
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.”

Have so few Frenchmen (and women) not read Houellebecq’s 2015 novel, ‘Submission’ ?
The French Minister of the Interior Darmanin makes me laugh by what he said. He may have taken lessons from President Biden. France is a joke and the people should realize their empire is gone and they do not owe their colonies anything. So why do they continue to allow them to migrate to France? Maybe, its because they are too dumb to think.
The festering barbaric rot eating out the insides of French society is now too obvious to deny. The only question now is whether the French government is going to meticulously clean up all the rotten insurgents, or let them rule the roost. More likely, France is going to be eaten from inside out.
They invited these people in for economic reasons, so I’ve heard. The existing welfare state and retirement program was too immense to support on the backs of the French working class. It appears the “fix” was to import workers to bolster govt income to maintain the status quo. The entire mess is of their own making. The govt couldn’t afford its own spending and the working class insisted on retiring and collecting a pension when they could work another five years or so to, at least, put off the collapse a few more years. It looks like a case of “reverse colonialism”. Instead of going abroad to exploit the labor and resources of other countries they decided to import the labor. (Fall of Rome, anyone?) In my view, this is a tactic based in selfishness but sold as altruism. The lack of foresight and self-restraint is to blame for the problems the French now have on their hands. They have handed over their country and will not get it back without violent retaliation. (How can they deport natural born citizens?) The only thing to be done now is for other European countries to take note and do whatever is necessary to halt the proliferation of the muslim invasions before they find themselves on fire and on the brink of extermination.
France must end free welfare. The best solution.
People scoff at the Bible and its truths. and guidance. The New World Order pushes for diversity, the mixing and the assimilation of the races, cultures, and religions.
The mingling is done in the name of PEACE. First seek concensus, the will of the single majority at the expense of the minority. It is important for people of different races, cultures, and religions to learn to live together, but this is actually (premeditated herding). of diverse people groups, causing them to intermingle and live together. It is part of the New World Order plan. WHAT A PLAN TO CREATE WARS AMONG DIFFERENT RACES!
(You cannot force people to live together peacefully,) its like forcing lions, wolves, bears, sheep and cows to live together. (Sooner or later there will be conflict. ) History shows that different races, tribes, cultures and religions are prejudiced and naturally gravitate to their own kind. They resent those who are different and each group tries to dominate the others. It only takes a small incident to trigger hostilities. This is all part of the plan to create chaos and wars on the earth. Christ is the only common denominator which enables people of different races, and cultures to live in peace together. (Without Him, history shows us there will be friction or worse.). Man has shunned the God of creation and will suffer for it from lack of KNOWLEDGE. (DANIEL 2:43.). They shall mingle themselves with the seed of men. ). The New World Order Push for Diversity, JUST LIKE NIMROD.
