Des #policiers qui veulent faire leur job, tentent d'interpeller des individus.
Ils sont pris à partie par une horde d'individus déterminés à en découdre.
Ils s'échapperont in extremis, sans être blessé.

France is Le Fecked!
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen today proposed a ban on Muslim headscarves in all public places, seeking to build on a record recent poll putting her almost neck-and-neck with President Emmanuel Macron.
The hijab policy, which would be contested in court and would almost certainly be ruled unconstitutional, saw the 53-year-old return to a familiar campaign theme 15 months from the country’s 2022 presidential election.
‘I consider that the headscarf is an Islamist item of clothing,’ Le Pen told reporters at a press conference where she proposed a new law to ban ‘Islamist ideologies’ which she called ‘totalitarian and murderous.’
Born in Morocco, of Canadian nationality, the imam of the Aïcha mosque, in Montpellier, is the subject of a complaint filed in 2019 by one of his nieces, denouncing sexual assault, when she was a minor, then of age, which would have been repeated from 2005 to 2017. “She denounces the touching during the Rouqia, a practice which aims to remove evil spirits”,

Following the murder of Samuel Paty, many ‘foot soldiers of the Republic’ feel abandoned to extremists
Imagine being a teacher in France. You come out in a cold sweat at the prospect of telling your class about Voltaire, Rousseau or Diderot. You’re terrified one of their parents will post your details on an extremist forum. You leave your workplace after dark wondering if someone’s waiting to attack you. Shocking as it may seem to British ears, this is the reality for secondary school History teachers across the Republic.
“Unlike you, Colonel, and so many others, Mila will never submit”, wrote the French teenager’s father to her school’s principal in a letter published by Le Point. On January 18, 2020 Mila O., then 16 years old, made insulting comments about Islam during her Instagram livestream.
“During her livestream, a Muslim boy asked her out in the comments, but she turned him down because she is gay. He responded by accusing her of racism and calling her a ‘dirty lesbian’. In an angry follow-up video, streamed immediately after she was insulted, Mila responded by saying that she ‘hates religion'”.
Mila continued: “The Koran is a religion of hatred; there is only hatred in it… Islam is sh*t…” Since then, she has received approximately 50,000 messages and letters that contain threats to rape her, slit her throat, torture and behead her. She has had to keep moving from one school to another.
A French teenager who was accused of insulting Islam last year is getting 30 hate-filled messages per minute a year on. That is 43,200 messages every day. Her lawyer, Richard Malka, told The Times that the girl, only known as Mila, has had to go into hiding and study from home, where she is under police protection. He said 50 social media users who have sent the teenager death threats have been identified by the police. In October, authorities sentenced a 23-year-old man after he shot a video in which he mimicked cutting the girl’s head off.
Debate around extremism has been plagued by cringe-inducing naivety
It was supposed to be the turning point in our response to violent Islamism. This week marks six years since more than a million people marched through the streets of Paris waving “Je Suis Charlie” placards in a show of defiance, echoed across the world, against the slaughter of satirists by a pair of jihadist brothers.
Today, with most Western countries reverting to type and responding to jihadist terror with obscurantism and denial, it looks like far fewer people were Charlie than was actually claimed. Not so in France, though, which is more or less united behind President Macron’s decision to confront the country’s domestic Islamist movement. In one poll at the end of last year, a staggering 79% of French citizens agreed that “Islamism has declared war on the Republic”.
Locals living in the Square du Tarn, mostly men in their 40s and 50s, say they have formed a collective to fight back against the growing insecurity in their neighbourhood posed by drug dealing and other delinquency.
Investigators also claimed that, so far, “there is nothing in this man’s behaviour to suggest that these acts were committed in connection with religious radicalisation, or for racist reasons”.
Unfortunately, the killing of school teacher Samuel Paty in an Islamist attack last year has led many French teachers to avoid discussing issues that might offend their Muslim pupils.
A survey on this subject conducted last month makes for chilling reading. It shows that nearly half of French secondary school teachers avoid or downplay topics such as sexuality, the Holocaust and evolution in order to avoid provoking the anger and hostility of their Muslim students.
Three months after the beheading of Samuel Paty, murdered for showing caricatures of Muhammad to his students as part of a course on freedom of expression, the finding is clear. Protests against secularism and forms of religious separatism continue to grow at school and teachers are the first victims, as proved by an Ifop survey carried out for the Jean Jaurès and Charlie Hebdo foundation .
First consequence of this phenomenon: teachers are self-censoring more and more (42%) within their establishments, in order to avoid possible excesses and incidents which could be caused by some pupils. A proportion which even reaches 49% in secondary education and which has increased by 13 points since 2018, according to the study. A majority of teachers surveyed (53%) also state that some of their courses are subject to contestation, and that some students try to avoid them. A figure which is up 12 points here compared to 2018. More specifically, one in five teachers (19%) even observed a challenge or disapproval during the tributes to Professor Samuel Paty, last fall. A figure that climbs to a third (34%) in priority neighborhoods.
Many signs of religious separatism
More worrying still, the proportion of signs of religious separatism at school, far from being anecdotal. Thus, 59% of teachers say they have been confronted with it at least once in their establishment. These signs can take several forms: 45% of teachers say for example to have observed the absence of young girls during swimming lessons. 28% report refusals to enter religious buildings during school trips and 24% have already experienced challenges to Christmas meals, Christmas trees and cakes of kings, or any other Christian symbol. Finally, 21% of teachers testify to the refusal of certain children to join hands in the name of religious convictions, and 9% to requests for the organization of canteens according to the religion of the pupils.

Targeted by death threats and reprisals, the manager of a mini-market in Nîmes has not reopened his shop since October 29, when he posted a sign to prohibit entry to veiled women in reaction to the attacks from Nice. “Psychologically destroyed”, he put his business up for sale.
I thought the veil was banned in France?

The incident, which occurred in the northeastern city of Belfort, was reported by local media on Saturday. The 20-year-old victim is the son of law enforcement officers.
Everyone except Muslims knows that Islam is the religion of peace.
“PLACES OF WORSHIP ARE POTENTIAL TARGETS”: FOR CHRISTMAS, INCREASED SECURITY IN CHURCHES
Gérald Darmanin asked the prefects to strengthen the security of the churches on Thursday and Friday. A presence that reassures the parishioners, feeling “safe thanks to them”.
In addition to the health crisis, places of worship are still under vigilance for an attack threat to its maximum. For this Christmas day, like the day before, the security system has been reinforced around the churches. The goal? Reassure the parishioners and impose a “dissuasive” presence.
It’s practically a Christmas tradition in France. Note Google translate used.
