Teachers who tailor lessons so as not to offend Muslim children are becoming a problem

Teachers who tailor lessons so as not to offend Muslim children are becoming a problem
A new survey in France has found many teachers are self-censoring lessons for fear of upsetting Muslim students. This defeatist attitude represents a refusal to uphold cultural values – and it’s happening in Britain, too.

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.

France: More teachers self-censor to avoid confrontation with Muslim students as religious separatism and objections to secularism & Christianity grow

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 .  

Lessons already contested for more than half of teachers  

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.

Manager of the Nîmes mini-market who refused veiled women in protest over Islamist attacks will never open his shop again after mounting death threats

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?

Outrage in France as Muslim son of police officers roughed up for ‘un-Islamic’ behavior after he attended Christmas party

A young Muslim was attacked by fellow Muslims after he posted photos online of a Christmas party he had attended. The incident has prompted top French officials to condemn Islamic “separatism” and to pledge to keep fighting it.

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.

France: Churches under high security due to Christmas terror threat

“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.

Mark Durie: Macron’s Vain Hope For An Enlightened Islam

“A fundamental problem with Macron’s renewal program lies in a difference between Islam and Christianity, namely that the very idea of secularity is alien to Islam. The principle of the separation of church and state rests on biblical foundations. It was noteworthy that Marine Le Pen quoted a phrase of Jesus Christ in her recent speech against Islamism, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and render to God the things that are God’s” (Mark 12:17). Nothing like this exists in Islam: everything is Allah’s, and the core of Islam is about the exertion of power in service of Allah. As Bernard Lewis repeatedly pointed out, classical Arabic did not even have the language to make the distinction between church and state, sacred and profane, spiritual and temporal, and ecclesiastical and secular. Such terms entered Arabic via the writings of Arabic-speaking Christians.”

Islam does not do integration.

Terrorist behind foiled 2015 French train attack receives life sentence

A terrorist whose plan to carry out a massacre on a packed high-speed international train was foiled by the heroic actions of a group of passengers has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a French court.

Ayoub El-Khazzani, 31, opened fire with an assault rifle on the Amsterdam-to-Paris Thalys train in August 2015. Having shot two passengers, Khazzani was wrestled to the ground and restrained by three US tourists, two of them off-duty servicemen, and a British traveller.

Facebook closes fake accounts linked to French military and Russia

Facebook said Tuesday that it had removed two networks based in Russia and one linked to the French military, accusing them of carrying out interference campaigns in Africa.

Two networks running multiple Facebook accounts were assigned to people associated with the Russian Internet Research Agency, and the third had “links to individuals associated with French military,” the social media platform said.

All three were removed from the site for breaking its policy against foreign or government interference, Facebook said, adding that the networks targeted countries mainly in north Africa and some in the Middle East.

French Former Top General Says He Fears Civil War

French General Pierre de Villiers, the former chief of staff of the French armed forces, has warned that France could be heading for civil conflict, due to Islamist radicals and growing urban violence.

General de Villiers, who made headlines by quitting as armed forces chief of staff in 2017 over clashes on army budget cuts with President Emmanuel Macron, warned of a variety of factors that could see France heading to potential civil conflict.

I maintain my prediction: We will see France cede territory to the Islamists in our lifetime.
