Arnaud Beltrame, Hero-Martyr Of France
American Conservative ^ | March 24, 2018 | Rod Dreher

France has produced a second martyr — the first was Father Jacques Hamel, slain at the altar while saying mass — in the contemporary battle against radical Islam. From Familie Chretienne, this news about Arnaud Beltrame, the French gendarme who willingly exchanged places with a hostage held by an ISIS militant. (Translated by Google.)

Arnaud was a recent full Catholic initiation, Eucharist and Confirmation, after he turned 30. He is modern day Father Kolbe. I thought this was an interesting quote:

Passionate about the gendarmerie, he has always had a passion for France, his greatness, his history, his Christian roots that he rediscovered with his conversion.

Some poor google translation but I think one gets the point. The opposite of the men without chests CS Lewis described.

How long before the globalist lords of the internet decree that praising this man is “hate speech”?

I get the martyr thing...

But, wouldn’t be better just run the savages off and not allow any more in-country? A lot fewer martyrs get made that way....

A very brave and selfless man. He had to have known that he was going to die.

Meanwhile, in Broward County Fla...........

He also had such a handsome, resolute face. What a loss to the western world! He’s now in Paradise out of this vale of tears.

What a horrible loss. Arnaud Beltrame graduated first of his class at St Cyr (French military officers school, the equivalent of US West Point), then first of his class at the gendarmerie school. He is worth more than a thousand Muslims.

When I hear a Muslim asslicker like Macron (who told people to “get used to terrorism”) paying him homage, that makes my blood boil.

We lose our best people like Arnaud Beltrame while most Western countries welcome in ISIS-loving savages.

IIRC France is now somewhere around 10% moslem.IOW...France has careened past the tipping point.She has lost! The moslems will breed like rabbits (knowing that they can depend on French taxpayers for support) and before long they'll be 20%.

Has he said that too? I know that the Mayor of Londonstan,Abdul Mohammed Mohammed Mohammed Jihad,said after a recent terror attack in his city that terrorism is just part of living in a major city.

Of course he refuses to explain why Tokyo,a much more "major" city that Londonstan,has *never* had a moslem attack.That,of course,is because Japan simply doesn't allow moslem knuckledraggers into their country.

Yes, he has said to the French to get used to terrorism, repeatedly, on television “la menace terroriste fera partie du quotidien des prochaines années”, on twitter “Nous vivons et vivrons durablement avec la menace terroriste”, etc...
