France

GAVIN MORTIMER, a journalist who covers France for the Spectator, has written recently concerning the attack in Paris on fourteen-year-old Yuriy, a white boy. The brutality of Yuriy’s beating by ten youths (knocking the boy’s eyes out of their sockets apparently) caused mounting consternation, especially after a video appeared of the boy being attacked, beaten to a pulp and left for dead in a square in the 15th arrondissement, one of the so-called beaux quartiers of Paris, and exactly where you wouldn’t expect such an attack to take place, especially after the 6pm national curfew. Apparently, criminality thrives while the rest of us race to the supermarket at 5.15 so that we can make it home by 6.

The story of Yuriy, who remains in hospital, revived references to the ‘ensauvagement’ of France, rejected by the usual suspects, who worry about unfairly scapegoating poor people and minorities.

PARIS — More than three dozen French police officers descended on a small private school in Paris, blocked the 92 students inside their classrooms, took photos everywhere even inside the refrigerator, and grilled the school director.

“It was like they were moving in on a drug deal,” Hanane Loukili, the director and co-founder of the MHS middle and high school said, recalling the Nov. 17 scene.

Loukili didn’t know it then, but a team from the Cell to Fight Radical Islam and Community Withdrawal, or CLIR, had arrived for an inspection. The dragnet sweeps schools, shops, clubs or mosques to rout out “radicalization.” Within a week, a shaken Loukili informed students their school was shutting down.

A French philosophy teacher has been put under police protection after he paid tribute to slain teacher Samuel Paty.

After calling for resistance to the Islamist threat in November 2020, Didier Lemaire, professor of philosophy at Trappes, is placed under police protection.
Didier Lemaire has been professor of philosophy at Trappes for nearly 20 years. Two decades during which he taught with passion despite the difficulty of this terrain classified as a priority area. Two decades during which he saw this city of the Parisian suburbs lock itself a little more into religious communitarianism.

In 2018, he wrote a letter with Jean-Pierre Obin (author of the book Comment we let Islamism penetrate the school) to the President of the Republic to urge the government to act to protect the youth from the influence of fundamentalists, and in November 2020 he published an open letter after the beheading of Samuel Paty to denounce the state’s lack of strategy in the face of political Islam.

Today, after twenty years of unfailing commitment, Didier Lemaire is throwing in the towel. Forced to go to work under armed police escort, the teacher expects nothing more than his exfiltration from this establishment and from this city where he is no longer safe.

Debates on the controversial new “anti-separatism” bill, aimed to combat religious extremism, have kicked off at the French lower house National Assembly, the Daily Mail newspaper reported, adding that heated discussions are expected to last for the next two weeks.

According to the newspaper, the French left-wing fears the proposed legislation, dubbed the anti-separatism bill, will harm Muslims in France, while right-wing politicians, on the contrary, argue that it fails to cover major issues.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, one of the strongest supporters of the bill, touted it as legislation that fights against what he called “the Islamist takeover bid”.

The images are striking, and the communication polished. This Sunday, January 31, in the morning, about thirty feminist activists from the Némésis collective gathered on the Place du Trocadéro, in Paris. Notable detail: the thirty young women all wore the “niqab”, the full Muslim veil. The event was organized on the occasion of “No Hijab Day”, a day without the veil created by an English feminist in February 2020 to protest against … the “hijab day”, a day promoting the Islamic veil. In addition to wearing the niqab, the Némesis activists displayed a banner “The French in 50 years? #NoHijabDay ” directly referring to the Islamization of France.

Bravo Ladies! – Note Google translate.

Les Flics try to make an arrest but are chased away.

La #Police fait respecter les lois de la #République!
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.
Jusque quand? pic.twitter.com/qsAg2ToYUu
