- France did not
perceive it at the time, but it placed itself in a trap, and the
trap is now closing.
- In the 1970s,
the Palestinians began to use international terrorism, and France
chose to accept this terrorism so long as France was not affected.
At the same time, France welcomed mass-immigration from the
Arab-Muslim world, evidently as part of a Muslim wish to expand
Islam. France's Muslim population has since grown in numbers while
failing to assimilate.
- Polls show that
one-third of French Muslims want the full application of Islamic
sharia law. They also show that the overwhelming majority of French
Muslims support jihad, and especially jihad against Israel, a
country they would like to see erased from the face of earth.
- "It is
better to leave than flee." -- Sammy Ghozlan, President of the
National Bureau of Vigilance against Anti-Semitism. He was later
mugged, and his car was torched. He left.
- Villiers also
mentions the presence in "no-go zones" of thousands of
weapons of war. He adds that weapons will probably not even have to
be used; the Islamists have already won.
- Originally,
France's dreams might have been of displacing America as a world
power, accessing inexpensive oil, business deals with oil-rich
Islamic states, and the prayer of no domestic terrorism.
In his new book, Will the Church Bells Ring
Tomorrow?, Philippe de Villiers notes the disappearance of churches
in France, and their replacement by mosques. Pictured above: On August 3,
French riot police dragged a priest and his congregation from the church
of St Rita in Paris, prior to its scheduled demolition. Front National
leader Marine Le Pen said in fury: "And what if they built parking
lots in the place of Salafist mosques, and not of our churches?"

France is in turmoil. "Migrants" arriving from Africa and
the Middle East sow disorder and insecurity in many cities. The huge slum
commonly known as the "jungle of Calais" has just been
dismantled, but other slums are being created each day. In eastern Paris,
streets have been covered with corrugated sheets, oilcloth and disjointed
boards. Violence is commonplace. The 572 France's "no-go
zones," officially defined as "sensitive urban areas",
continue to grow, and police officers who approach them often suffer the
consequences. Recently, a police car drove into an ambush and was torched
while the police were prevented from getting out. If attacked, police
officers are told by their superiors to flee rather than retaliate. Many
police officers, angry at having to behave like cowards, have organized
demonstrations. No terrorist attacks have taken place since the slaughter
of a priest in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray on July 26, 2016, but
intelligence services see that jihadists have returned from the Middle
East and are ready to act, and that riots may break out anywhere, any
time, on any pretext.

- Geert Wilders
is now on trial for having national security views that the
prosecution have deemed unacceptable to air in public.
- To suggest that
Dutch citizens, whose safety Wilders was elected to protect
-- it is his job; it is why he was elected -- should not
publicly given his best advice, would to countermanding his official
duty.
- Is it racist to
note these problems? Statistical data are usually not racist; they
simply express the factual reality of a situation.
- The freedom to
speak and to question without fear of retribution is fundamentally
what separates democratic governments from totalitarian ones.
Sunshiny, politically correct views do not need protecting. The
reason for free speech is to protect the less-than-enchanting
views.
- It is
fundamental for the health of our society that Wilders and others be
able to speak and be heard freely. To protect us and to protect the
humanist values of freedom brought to us by Erasmus and the
Enlightenment, it is crucial that the Dutch court grant Wilders a
full acquittal.

As his trial continues in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, if found
culpable, faces a fine for his comments, purportedly "racist",
on Moroccans.
The prosecution alleges that his comments unfairly "targeted a
specific race, which is considered a crime."
Never mind that Moroccans are not a race or even a religion; they
are members of a country – apparently, making comments on trends that are
prominent within minorities or advice on how to keep a country secure is
now criminal. Statements might sometimes be unpleasant to hear,
but to express these views should not be "criminal".

- Pursuing a
sectarian agenda, Iranian leaders have also fueled the conflict by
sending religious leaders to Syria to depict the conflict as a
religious war.
Iran's military forces and operations in Syria are significantly
more than what has been generally reported so far.
The Syrian war has led to the rise and export of terrorism abroad as
well as to one of the worst humanitarian tragedies, in which more than
470,000 people have been killed.
Iran has played a crucial role in maintaining in power President
Assad, who has repeatedly used chemical weapons on civilians. Iran has
promoted continuing the conflict.
