French parliament APPROVES law to FIGHT JIHAD by banning hate imams and letting police close religious schools

As published here yesterday, France Leading the West: Large numbers of eminent French academics and journalists have supported the president and been severely critical of what they regard as the moral disintegration of America. France will not be a party to any notion of white self-criticism on grounds of privilege and is unabashed in its expressed belief that the West and France, in particular, has been a civilizing influence in the world, though certainly not without fault.

French parliament APPROVES law to fight Islamist extremism by banning hate preachers and letting police close religious schools

  • The law has been criticised for stigmatising Muslims and restricting free speech
  • It was approved by a clear majority of MPs in France’s National Assembly
  • French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party backed the law
  • The approval comes with presidential elections looming next year and with decades-long divisions about the integration of France’s Muslim population

By Chris Jewers for Mail Online, 16 February 2021 |

France’s parliament has approved a law aimed at fighting ‘Islamist separatism’ by banned hate preachers and giving police the power to close religious schools.
France’s lower house voted on Tuesday in favour of the law billed by the government as a riposte to religious groups attempting to undermine the secular state.
The draft legislation, which has been criticised for stigmatising Muslims and giving the state new powers to limit speech and religious groups, was backed by a clear majority of MPs in the National Assembly.

President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party rallied around the law, with 347 National Assembly lawmakers voting in favour, 151 against and 65 abstaining.

The text will now be submitted to the upper house Senate, where Macron’s party does not hold a majority.
‘It’s an extremely strong secular offensive,’ Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told RTL radio ahead of the vote Tuesday. ‘It’s a tough text… but necessary for the republic.’
Among the more than 70 separate articles, the law expands the ability of the state to close places of worship and religious schools, as well as to ban extremist preachers.

Amid concerns about the funding of mosques by Turkey, Qatar or Saudi Arabia, it requires religious groups to declare large foreign donations and have their accounts certified.
It comes with presidential elections looming next year and with decades-long divisions about the integration of France’s large Muslim population and the threat of Islamists causing fresh tensions.
Macron and Darmanin in particular have been accused of pandering to far-right voters by exaggerating the danger of Islamist groups in the often-marginalised immigrant communities found in French suburbs.

President Emmanuel Macron’s (pictured on February 16) centrist party rallied around the law, with 347 National Assembly lawmakers voting in favour, 151 against and 65 abstaining
The government counters that the threat is real, pointing to repeated terror attacks and what Macron called the development of a ‘counter-society’ that rejects secularism, equality and other French values and laws.
Over the past week, a school teacher in a tough suburb southwest of Paris has come to national prominence over claims he needed police protection after receiving death threats for denouncing local Islamists.
Right-wing parties see him as a whistleblower warning about the danger of extremist groups, while those on the left have pointed to his provocative statements about Islam and accuse him of overstating the threat.
His case was picked up in the national media because of its echoes of the beheading of a school teacher, Samuel Paty, by a teenage Islamist last October that profoundly shocked the country.
Paty was the subject of an online hate campaign started by a parent of a child at his school who objected to his showing of controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed during a civics class about free speech.
Paty’s killing prompted the inclusion of a new crime in the draft law of disclosing personal information about someone while knowing it will put the person in danger.

Critics say Macron is seeking to harden his record on Islamism and security ahead of a likely re-match with far-right leader Marine Le Pen in next year’s election. Pictured: Palestinians burn a picture of French President Emmanuel Macron during a demonstration against him last year
Another crime of ‘separatism’ – defined as threatening a public servant in order to gain ‘a total or partial exemption or different application of the rules’ – would be punishable by up to five years in prison.

With campaigning ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections already heating up, the right-wing opposition Republicans (LR) party and the far-right National Rally have both said the bill does not go far enough.

They have called for restrictions on the wearing of the Islamic veil, which they both view as a manifestation of Islamism, rather than an expression of cultural identity or religious piety.
The government has rejected calls for a wider headscarf ban, but the law will expand the demand for ‘religious neutrality’ in clothing to people working for private companies carrying out public services.
Critics say Macron is seeking to harden his record on Islamism and security ahead of a likely re-match with far-right leader Marine Le Pen in next year’s election.

He pushed an initiative recently to ask eight federations representing Muslims in France to sign a 10-point ‘charter of principles,’ which three refused.

The 43-year-old head of state is also accused of doing too little to counter discrimination and racism, though a new law and funding has been promised to help marginalised communities.
Nearly 200 people demonstrated in Paris on Sunday against the bill, accusing it of ‘reinforcing discrimination against Muslims.’

In January, a group of academics and campaigners wrote in the newspaper Liberation that the law was ‘an unprecedented blow’ to religious freedom and the freedom to form associations.

In the wake of Paty’s killing, the government used its existing powers to close several mosques and two leading Muslim organisations, the charity Baraka City and the Collective Against Islamophobia in France.

Will Britain & America follow France’s excellent example before it’s too late? Of course not with current political leadership. Biden will give us more Muslim terrorists from the hostile Islamic lands of Trump’s wise travel ban.

Use a small army of CPAs and attorneys to investigate every jihad attack. Follow 100% of the money back to its source. Track anyone involved, in any way. Then use the RICO statutes to jail, confiscated, and shut down all involved. That includes:

M1 – Shutting down mosques involved in any jihad attack.
M2 – Arrest mullahs involved.
M3 – Follow, and confiscate, all jihad money back to its source.

That would be a lot more positive step than what Macaroni is proposing. How would you prove any given mosque is involved in a jihad attack though? Would the membership of any particular muslum terrorist be sufficient? What if mosques stop keeping records of who’s a member? Or conceal their membership lists? What if they say they kicked a given muslum terrorist out of the congregation? What if the muslum terrorist denies he had any involvement with any mosque?

Allow beating up muslims to confess or use of truth serum to get to the truth

Or you’ll have very hard time.

But only way to deal with jihadis is the china way. brutal suppression and put all muslims in jail and make them either give up islam by making them accept how stupid islam is and showing right way

Till they accept they stay in jall and work 10- 14 hours daily for $1 per month. cheap products that china can sell and make great profits to pay for jailing them !

None of that Legalease BS was done before the west fought WWII after they were attacked.

It is not needed now. 1400 years of muslim attacks against the west justifies their extermination.

The West response so far has been complicit, pathetic and weak.

The likes of Macron whitewashed Islam, gave it a new ID, imported it, and forced the people to suffer it….. to guarantee a war of survival. They must have that war ….and they always planned to blame us for it. They are lighting the fuse on the Mohammedan bomb that was supposed to detonate with Hillary as CIC.

“Islamist separatism” the word salad of complete BS that makes it completely clear Fwance has already surrendered to the f’ing muslums and the fact people have been arrested for publicly criticising the muslum death cult (cough, Brigitte Bardot, cough) only serves to underscore the point. This is nothing but a dog and pony show for the masses of cowardly asses in Fwance because there’s no such thing as an islamist, it’s a mythical and dishonest neologism along the lines of islamophobia.

Don’t forget Germany….Merkel destroyed German when she brought millions of Muslims when their birth rate dropped 3%…she thought she was bringing in workers….she should have done her homework. Muslim men don’t really work….but they do rape, kill, and commit other crimes.

And FYI…with the new Biden plan of free abortions with us paying for it..our birth rate is down 1% now….wait until it drops a lot more now.

God is going to get us for not stopping this abomination.

It really cracks me up when I read that it is Far Right Groups that speak out against islam and the teachings of that belief system, when in fact it would seem to me that it would be the Far Left that would wish islam to be reined in as islam teaches everything that is the opposite of what the Far Left believes, feminism,equality,free speech, choices of lifestyle, Gay etc, as well as what ANY decent human being would believe, but I find it strange that those who scream against fascism are themselves promoting a religion that is THE most Fascist ever.
Its a clown world after all.

Was at the prayer meeting for the small church that I go to last night, and there was a prayer request for the pastor of a church in Canada that was arrested for opening his church I guess against some Canadian rules on account of covid. Opened it anyway. So they put him in jail for that. First thing that hit me, was how come you never hear about a muslim going to jail for a Mosque being open, I don’t think they ever get closed, and never once have heard of anyone crying about them being opened, or sending the cops to one because of it, or at least if anyone has complained about it, the cops never have done anything about it, but they will for sure go after the Christians.

Not to worry. Once the idiot Frogs reelect Macron and his mother/wife, stupidly ignoring Le Pen again? They’ll revert to type and repeal this.

This is France we’re talking.
