Muslim and Leftist Mob Attacks Lone French Man Protesting Against Islamisation

Stories describing the remarks made by French politician Jean Francois Copé about schoolchildren having their chocolate croissants taken from them by Muslim classmates during Ramadan.

“I can understand the exasperation of some of our compatriots when there are some neighbourhoods where a mother or father will come home from work in the evening to learn their son has had his pain au chocolate snatched out of his hand by thugs, telling him it is forbidden to eat during Ramadan,” he said.

This provoked hysterical denunciations of his "demagoguery" and "incitement to hatred". Muslims and leftists even began handing out chocolate pastries on the street to protest against his remarked and "islamophobia". This is film of one of these events. While the Muslims are giving an interview mocking the "islamophobes", along comes a besuited, middle-aged man. Seeing what's going on, he decides to articulate an alternative point of view, shouting praise of the "Front National" and "No to islamisation, Stop forced slamisation". He is then immediately assailed by a mob of Muslims and leftists in full view of the camera.

No whit deterred, he keeps shouting, "They're attacking me. The islamists are attacking me. Stop enforced islamisation!"

Catholic church in France may become Mosque

A church in the central French town of Vierzon may be converted to a mosque, as Muslims across Europe are converting empty churches to fit their faith – but some locals are worried about the threat of radicalism

Vierzon has six churches, and in order to balance the books, the diocese is selling one of them off. A Moroccan organization is in talks to convert the church of St. Eloi into a mosque, although a final decision has yet to be reached.

With a nave of 26 meters, it can accommodate 200 people and is up for sale for €170,000.

Alain Krauth, the pastor of Notre Dame de Vierzon, explained to weekly newsmagazine Le Nouvel Observateur,  

“We must keep the buildings; Vierzon has experienced a population decline in recent years, the Christian community is not as important as it used o be in the past.”
“The church is modern and easy to re-arrange – it will be easy to sell,” he added.

Father Krauth explained that questionnaires have been distributed to the community about the proposed sale.

 “Some of the faithful rejoice that the place will be bought by members of the Muslim community – by believers in moderate Islam – but others were offended and fear radical Islam,”

 the priest reflected.

With about six per cent of EU citizens today identifying as Muslim, and that number set to grow, more and more churches are set to become mosques.

Nearly 150 new mosques are currently under construction to house France's nearly five million Muslims, who make up about 7.5 per cent of the country's population. France is home to the EU's largest national Muslim community.

Attempts by European governments to unite the diverse cultures and religious groups living side by side in the continent's cities have not always been successful, with tensions remaining between the Muslim and Christian populations in many countries.

Islamic radical shot dead by anti-terrorism police in France

A suspected Islamic terrorist was shot dead by French police in front of his veiled wife and their young child today.

The man, in his 30s, was gunned down after firing a .357 Magnum revolver as armed officers swarmed into his house in the eastern city of Strasbourg.
Seven others, including another gunman in Paris, were arrested during a nationwide anti-terrorist operation.

Sting operation: A man, in his 30s, was shot dead as police arrested terror suspects around France

Armed siege: A policeman from the GIPN - French national police intervention groups - stands guard outside a building in Cannes, southeastern France, where me connected with an extremist Islamic group were arrested

Dramatic scenes: All the men arrested are believed to be part of the Salafist group which is waging a holy war in Europe

Organised: The anti-terror operation was carried out in several cities around France - notably in Strasbourg where a suspect was fatally wounded

All were suspected of being involved in an attack on a Jewish shop in which one person was slightly injured last month.

The extreme violence used by the authorities in the face of Muslim extremism was praised by President Francois Hollande who 'saluted the action of the police' and urged Interior Minister Manuel Valls to 'take all measures necessary to ensure vigilance.'

All the men targetted today were said to be linked to a Salafist group which is committed to waging a jihad - or holy war - across Europe. 

It follows Mohammed Merah, a 23-year-old French Algerian with similar Salafism connections, shooting seven people, including four Jews, dead in the Toulouse area in March. 

At least three policemen were injured in today's Strasboug raid, while others received direct hits to their bullet proof jackets and helmets.

The anti-terror operation comes after extremist Mohammed Merah killed seven people - including four Jews - in Toulouse in March

The suspect, meanwhile, was hit by a number of bullets and died at the scene, despite being treated by medics for his wounds.

The source said the man's veiled wife and child were in the Strasbourg house, and that the woman was one of those arrested for questioning.

'He was initially on the sofa, but then started to fire at police with a .357 Magnum,' the source added. 

Dawn raid: Police raided the building in the Esplanade suburb of Strasbourg in the early hours on Saturday morning

It was part of a nationwide counter-terrorist operation aimed at capturing the gang responsible for planting a low explosive device in a kosher food shop in the northern Paris suburb of Sarcelles on September 19th.

A judicial source in the French capital said all the men targeted today were thought to be members of a secretive Salafist group. 

Referring to another Paris suburb, the source said: 'A prosecutor in Pontoise was recently withdrawn from the case and replaced with an anti-terrorist prosecutor in Paris. It was him who sanctioned this morning's raids. 

'Armed police visited a number of addresses across the country in coordinated raids. The suspect in Strasbourg tried to resist arrest by firing at officers who had stormed into his home.'

The raids were coordinated by the Central Directorate of Internal Intelligence (DCRI) and the terrorism sub-directorate (SDAT) of the Judicial Police. 

The source said that a gunman arrested in Paris had been acting in a 'threatening and dangerous manner' but was quickly disarmed with no injuries. 

An Interior Ministry spokesman said raids had today (sat) taken place at addresses in cities all over the country, and notably in Nice, Cannes, and Paris. He said there had been seven arrests in all.

Police have been on heightened alert since the attacks by Merah, who was himself finally shot dead by police.

Merah had strong links to Salafist groups in the Toulouse area, where he was brought up, and there are fears that they may have assisted his murderous crimes.

Arrests: Around 11 other men believed to be connected to the extremist Salafist group were arrested at locations around France

Marine Le Pen: 'Integration is the Anglo-Saxon system adopted in Great Britain'

I'm not sure this is Marine at her best. She is certainly forceful enough on economic matters, but she seems much too accommodating towards Muslims, and too eager to point out that there have never been any problems in Hénin-Beaumont. She may be right in praising the good relations between Muslim and French residents, but the fact that there are so many Muslims in France is a major problem even when they are well-behaved. It is possible that she toned down her rhetoric for The Guardian. Her best moment is when she claims the woman with the headscarf lied. I don't know if the woman lied, but I did not like the sight of her with her smug husband eating snack food. Are they Socialists pretending to be converts?
