France: The Looming Battle over Muslim Integration
Gatestone Institute ^ | December 31, 2013 | Soeren Kern

Posted on 01/01/2014 7:40:38 PM PST by george76

Among the long list of recommendations...the panel says that public schools in France should be taught in Arabic and African languages rather than in French.

"It would no longer be up to French immigrants to adopt French culture, but for France to abandon its own culture, language, history and identity to adapt to other people's cultures." — Jean-François Copé, UMP Party.

Instead of integration, "parallel societies are forming that continuously distance themselves from each other." — Alain Finkielkraut, author of L'identité malheureuse.

A panel appointed by French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault to review France's integration policies has urged the government to implement a "new form of secularism" that would raise the profile of Islam in public life—in order to improve the integration of Muslim immigrants. Among a long list of recommendations aimed at "recognizing the richness of multiple identities," the panel says that public schools in France should begin allowing Muslim pupils to wear headscarves in class (clothing that has been outlawed since 2004), and that courses should be taught in Arabic and African languages rather than in French.

The panel also recommends a number of other multicultural changes that would provide greater recognition to the "Arab-oriental dimension" of France's national identity. These include changing street and place names, overhauling the history curriculum taught in schools and creating a special day to honor the contribution of immigrant cultures.

More notably, the panel says that authorities and the media should be prohibited from referring to people's nationality, religion or ethnicity in public, and that the government should create a new law that would make "racial harassment" a punishable offense.

Stop stealing from (taxing) the producers, and stop the payoffs (benefits) to the parasites. Nature could then solve the problem in one winter.

I think a significant percentage of the French public - perhaps a clear majority - would be appalled by these recommendations. In the next twenty years, I expect either massive emigration of French nationals, or civil war.

Toss em out! The day will come when France will be illuminated with burning mosques—and trains filled with muslims being sent to the camps. It has happened before to other groups The Roma? The Jews? the Albegensians? Knights Templars?

Before Mr. Muslim goads Mr. Frog once too much, he might be well advised to read up on “Massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy “.

Mr. Frog occasionally gets a bit froggy.\

Just hintin’.

All this so that the current Government can have as much ultimate power
as they can get without any consideration for the next century.

Screw you France. You're burnt toast!

I don’t think so. The French have great pride in their culture, believing they have the best wine, food, language, art etc. This is a wakeup call.

From Vlad...The Putin on Russia:

"In Russia live like Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia , to work and eat in Russia , should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslims then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia , and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We will not tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture. We had better learn from the suicides of America , England , Holland and France , if we are to survive as a nation. The Muslims are taking over those countries and they will not take over Russia. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia Law and Muslims. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national interest first, observing that the Muslims Minorities Are Not Russians..."

I would like to see a French politician or statesman make a similar public proclamation - Hell, I'd like to see an American politician or "statesman" make the same remark.
I think that most on here are greatly underestimating the French state security apparatus. They are very good at accomplishing their given mission. However, like most state groups, they are subject to the whims and restrictions enacted by the various political players who get involved.
Until, and unless, these political players are on the same side as them, their missions will be subject to petty interference and pc castration.

The French government seems bound and determined to dissipate, dispossess, and replace the native French people. Same thing is happening in Britain to the British people. And to the European peoples that built the United States. In fact it is happening in every Western nation.

Who hates the Christian European peoples so much and has such tremendous influence in every single one of those countries?

the process.

At least the King of Spain expelled the moslems again around 1611 and forbade the use of Arabic in language and writing.

Ah, yes, Osama Bin Laden spoke often, with little sighs of wistfulness, about "the tragedy of al-Andalus". (The Moorish loss of Spain. They all want Spain back. The Spanish have a different idea. Stay tuned for film at eleven.)

Time for another Charles Martel to rise up.

That treasonous panel should be frog-marched to the nearest guillotine and publicly executed.

Roger that.

Bump. Madame has rested long enough. There's work to do.

(And then maybe when the French are done with her, she could come here to America for a while.)
