“It is impossible to maintain an integrated multivalent society once neighbors start kidnapping each other's children and murdering them with hand drills, blowing up each other's cultural events, slaying each other's teachers and religious leaders and tearing down their icons. Crucially, it is soberingly worth noting, moreover, that plenty of instances of all those things have occurred already in the West, and all of them have occurred in France alone in the last five years.”
David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World at King's College London.
Dr. Betz does not mention crimes of rape, perhaps because in France it is so enormously underreported. Only ~6% of victims report to authorities, because of fear of being blamed and charged with Islamophobia or other “hate crime.” Based on these few reported accusations, rape by migrants in France exceeds 10,000 cases in the last five years. Multiply that by the 94% non-reported cases. Sometimes there are witnesses. In 2023 alone, Paris police data noted 97 rapes in public spaces.
Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His godly ones.
Psalm 116:15
Rod Dreher asks, "I don’t understand why the government doesn’t deploy the army and shoot rioters until they stop. Philippe Lemoine, a Frenchman, says it’s not that simple."
Excerpt:
"We have let things rot for so long that, at this point, relying primarily on force to restore order would require a degree of violence far greater than what people realize and what is politically feasible.
It's possible to contain a riot using only moderate force when the number of police officers is high relative to the number of rioters, but when riots are so widespread and involve so many people because you have allowed this kind of things to happen for so long, that's just not possible and you have to use extreme violence to make up for the lack of manpower.
I know people on the Internet will say that it doesn't matter and that we should just do it, but the reality is that most of the people in charge are not prepared to use that kind of force and neither would most ordinary people if they saw ...
Even Marine Le Pen’s recent statements track this line: personal Islamic practice is compatible with the Republic; replacing French law with Sharia is not. French Muslims who are simply citizens practicing their "religious faith" “have no reason to worry” about a Le Pen election victory.
But can one be a practicing Muslim without demanding and practicing Sharia?
