France faces rising tide of Islamophobia

Politicians try to calm fears, but the mass shooting at Charlie Hebdo follows a series of attacks across France

French politicians rushed to offer their commiserations in the aftermath of the mass shooting at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, but they have been battling fears about terrorism for years.

The success of Marine Le Pen, the far-Right Front National leader, has been the most visible sign of the rising tide of Islamophobia in France, which increased again in the wake of several attacks in December.

Miss Le Pen said that she was "horrified" by the attack on the satirical magazine, saying she felt "huge sadness for the victims and sent her condolences to the families of the victims."

In December, the French Prime Minister Manuel Valls had to call for calm after a series of attacks – where cars were used as battering rams on festive crowds – at Christmas.

Zact same formula as Australia the other day:

1. Muzzie killing

2. TONS of caterwauling about, “Muslims fear BAAACKLASH...!”

Using this strategy you can first be perp, but later also be VICTIM..!

Played OVER AND OVER.

Islamophobia???????

Muslims are killing people and the media is worried that Muslims might feel bad?????

Why do they want to ban guns now? Most guns never kill anyone.

Wow... they’ve just had a horrific Muslim Terrorist attack,

and they’re whining about “Islamophobia”?

A “phobia” is an IRRATIONAL fear.
I don’t think there’s anything irrational about holding Muslims suspect considering the events of the past... oh... 800 years.

A variant on this formula is often using in URBAN areas:

1. Yute perpetrates one or several murders

—followed swiftly by—

2. Don’t inflame this tragedy/Minorities brace for backlash

It means, “You honkies know damn well you’re supposed to put up with this, so don’t go putting on AIRS..”

If they really want to kill you, it’s not a phobia.

Phobias are irrational fears. There is nothing irrational about being afraid of people who want to kill you.

I think that, maybe, people should be afraid of masked men coming into their offices with AK-47’s. Maybe there should be more of that fear.

What’s wrong with fearing muslims? They are a death cult.

More WILL die there and elsewhere in Europe and HERE. The authorities in France detailed UNARMED officers to the site for fear of offending the muzzies or that, God forbid, if an
attack DID go down, a muzzie might be killed. Two dead cops and 10 dead employees later and you can bet NOTHING WILL CHANGE!

The French fools are as incompetent and derelict as the fools HERE!

That’s France for you, the country that made cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal an “Honorary citizen of Paris”.

Islamophobia my arse. It's not a "phobia" if it's real. Ask the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo if it's a 'phobia'.

The real fear is that of ... Islamization
