France riots: Macron faces calls to declare state of emergency

Protests over the shooting of 17-year-old Nahel M have spilled into the capital’s affluent areas

President Macron has summoned key ministers to a crisis meeting amid calls for him to declare a state of emergency after a third night of rioting across France.

With the violence intensifying despite the deployment of 40,000 officers including elite units across the country, Macron is under growing pressure to suspend some civil rights in an effort to restore order.

He is to chair the French equivalent of a Cobra meeting — the second in two days — as he struggles for a coherent response to what has spiralled into a national crisis and a challenge to his authority.


France riots: Macron to hold crisis meeting as 667 arrested and violence spreads

Emmanuel Macron is to head another crisis meeting of ministers as the French government struggles to contain an escalation of unrest that has spread from housing estates across the country to the centre of major cities after the police shooting of a teenager earlier this week.

A total of 667 people were arrested across France into the early hours of Friday morning, officials said, as violence continued into a third night of riots triggered by the deadly police shooting of a 17-year-old of Algerian and Moroccan descent during a traffic stop.

French Race Riots: Contrasting Portraits of Officer and Slain Suspect Emerge

Nahel M’s Mom seems to be enjoying her time in the spotlight leading riots.

Following an incident on Tuesday, June 27th that saw 17-year-old Nael M. shot dead by a policeman in Nanterre, France, after he failed to comply with an order to stop his vehicle—an incident that precipitated two nights of ultra-violent rioting in the multicultural Parisian suburb—portraits of the slain suspect and the officer have emerged.

Europe, the La La Land continent of immigration

Sweden is a monument to European naivete that believes open immigration of Muslims can lead to integration with post-Christians.

“Free Derry” is a famous area that declared itself “autonomous” in Northern Ireland’s second city between 1969 and 1972. The term originates from the writing painted on the wall of a building:

“You are now entering Free Derry”. The name derives from its status as a “closed” area (no-go area) to British forces (British and Protestants called it Londonderry).
Who would have thought, fifty years later, that there would be other “no-go areas” in Europe?

Embassy stormed after Sweden Quran-burning protest

President Erdogan of Turkey has vowed to teach “arrogant westerners” a lesson as he condemned Sweden for allowing the public burning of a copy of the Quran outside the central mosque in Stockholm.

The stunt by an Iraqi national has prompted condemnation from across the Islamic world. Protesters massed outside the Swedish embassy in Baghdad, while Morocco and Jordan followed Russia in recalling their ambassadors from Sweden.

France: Worst Riots In 20 Years

Video showed officer allegedly telling 17-year-old victim, ‘I’m going to put a bullet in your head’, before he shot him

Youths hurled fireworks and stones at police and torched cars on the fringes of a march in a Paris suburb in memory of a 17-year-old French-Algerian boy shot by police.

The youths disrupted the march, which was led by the teenager’s mother. She and most of the more than 6,000 people who were taking part dispersed after violence broke out, leaving the troublemakers to face armed and helmeted police. Palls of acrid black smoke rose from burning, overturned cars.

France will mobilise 40,000 police officers across the country this evening to deal with the protests.

Hamas in Sweden

The European Palestinians Conference, held in Malmö, Sweden on May 27, had clear and strong connections with Hamas, including through conference chairman Amin Abu Rashid. Before the conference, it was reported that several members of parliament from Sweden’s Green Party, Left Party and Social Democratic Party would be participating in the conference.

When the Swedish media wrote about the connection between the European Palestinians Conference and Hamas, however, MPs, one by one, began withdrawing from the conference — although, notably, without distancing themselves from Hamas.

Sweden: Iraqi refugee burns Quran outside mosque during Eid al-Adha

Two men stood outside Stockholm’s central mosque on Wednesday and burned a Quran, following the go-ahead given by a Swedish court, to coincide with the beginning of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.

The man who had requested permission for the action, a 30-year-old Iraqi refugee who wants the book banned, tore out pages from the Quran, wiped them on his shoe and set some of them on fire, Swedish public broadcaster SVT said.

Around 200 people gathered to watch, including counterprotesters. One man was detained after he tried to throw a rock.

Sweden’s PM Vows Change in Migration Policy to the ‘EU’s Strictest’

How the Left annihilated Sweden.

Center-Right Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has finally declared a drastic shift in the immigration policy of a once-peaceful country that has become a haven for the most violent foreign gangs, due to its infamous open-door welcome at the height of the migration crisis that has continued since 2015. Kristersson announced that Sweden is changing its “migration policy to the EU’s strictest.” The Sweden Democrats were handed a virtual no-win predicament when they joined the government in 2022, caused by the previous Socialist Democratic Party. “Almost all 5,000 gang members” in Sweden are migrants, and their proliferation is threatening to get worse without state intervention.

Canada considers Quebec woman with six children in Syria a security risk, lawyer says

OTTAWA – A lawyer says Canada will not repatriate a Quebec woman being held in Syria with her six children because officials believe she poses a security risk.

Lawyer Lawrence Greenspon, who has been working to bring the woman home, said he was advised of the decision recently by Global Affairs Canada.

The department wrote on June 21 that the woman has “extremist ideological beliefs” that may lead her to act violently, and the government cannot ensure no such conduct occurs, he said Monday.

None of them should have been allowed back. They are not victims.

Does the jihadist threat to the West still exist?

Despite media indifference, Islamic terrorism continues apace in Europe and the U.S., not just against Israel.

Has the jihadist threat become run-of-the-mill? Has it just disappeared?

You might think either of these to be the case, given how little the media—particularly, the U.S. media—seems to make of it anymore. Arrests of terror cells, the disruptions of plans of attack, shootings and stabbings, particularly in Europe, all go little reported and are frequently entirely ignored these days by the U.S. press.

Ontario school board’s anti-Islamophobia strategy questioned after Muslim student singled out

An Ontario father is questioning the legitimacy of a school board’s anti-Islamophobia strategy months after his son was singled out by a teacher during a lesson that featured racist cartoons.

During the January class, the high school teacher in Peel Region, which includes the Toronto-area cities of Mississauga and Brampton, showed two caricatures from the controversial French magazine Charlie Hebdo to international baccalaureate students as part of a module on censorship.

Without addressing the stereotypical nature of the cartoons — which targeted Muslim, Jewish and Black communities — the teacher discussed the 2015 Charlie Hebdo massacre in which the magazine’s offices were attacked by two Al-Qaeda-linked members who killed 12 people.

How Obama’s Muslim Childhood Became a Taboo Topic

Reflections on when a gigantic biographical inconvenience was successfully hidden and denied.

Americans have an abiding fascination with their presidents, especially with their foibles and secrets. Who lied? Who ordered illegal operations? Who had mistresses?

Thus was the country transfixed by Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, and the tawdry drip-drip of their liaison. When newly declassified documents revealed hitherto unknown CIA connections to Lee Harvey Oswald, this made a media splash, with Tucker Carlson asking: “Did the CIA have a hand in the murder of John F. Kennedy?”

Secularism will not survive the demographic change in France – nor in Europe

In reality it is a question of the invasion of one civilization into the territory of another, transforming the face of its culture.

Guillaume Cuchet, who teaches at the Sorbonne and is the author of key books on religion including “How our world has ceased to be Christian” (Seuil), tells La Vie about the end of this world:

“The rise of Islam (from 8 to 11 per cent, plus 37 per cent in 12 years), the collapse of Catholicism (from 43 to 25 per cent) and the rise of atheists (from 45 to 53 per cent hundred). If we extend the curves, we can clearly see the landscape that will prevail. In these conditions, if nothing changes, it is not impossible that Catholicism will become, one day not so far off, the second, even the third religion. What yesterday was unimaginable or considered a school hypothesis has become possible, indeed probable, and tomorrow will be certain”.
