Faced with the rise of Islamism, where is the Republic going?

Who would have thought it? The Republic, which nevertheless removed religion from the political field and invented secularism, is gradually succumbing to pressure from Islamists of all stripes, who are trying to test its reaction to the systematic pressure to impose their moral dictatorship by attacking freedom of conscience, and even freedom itself.
The enemies of Western civilisation are working day and night for one goal: to bring down this political modernity and its positive laws and to apply Islamic law first in Muslim-majority neighbourhoods and then throughout Europe. Will Europeans thus become dhimmis in their own land in the coming decades?

In the land of Voltaire, mockery and even insults are uttered every day against the Catholic Church and other religions without anyone condemning them. But when it comes to the Islamic religion, the media, politicians and even intellectuals fall into a double trap of the Islamists: the one of the fanatics who terrorise and kill, and the one set by those who negotiate with the public authorities and whose official interlocutors try to believe that the criminalisation of “Islamophobia” is the sine qua non condition to avoid terrorist violence.

The campaign to make the French feel guilty has been trying for years to make them believe that they are new colonialists and that they must atone for the faults committed by their elders, by abandoning their civilisational values of freedom and secularism, in order to open the doors to invasive and obsolete values, by admitting them as being equal to their own.

The results of the guilt-ridden machinations are beginning to appear publicly in the speeches of some French officials, such as the former Minister of Justice, Nicole Belloubet, for whom “every French person carries the danger of racism somewhere within himself”. These irresponsible statements are feeding the Islamists and all the enemies of the Republic, who accuse every Frenchman of racism until he proves his innocence.

A certain left-wing group plays a major role in this distortion of concepts and words. It has maliciously convinced the inhabitants of the suburbs that racism is only real if it comes from the white Westerner. This obscures the fact that the majority of violence is committed between minorities, as in Dijon, Nice, Perpignan and elsewhere. Racial, ethnic and religious conflicts are no longer sporadic isolated acts, but a real phenomenon that is taking hold everywhere in France.

France is gradually becoming “Lebanese”. It has allowed communities with multiple cultures to settle in, without doing anything to integrate them. Today, these communities are at war with each other. Are we living in a climate that heralds a civil war? In 2016, the head of French intelligence, Patrick Calvar, told MPs of his fears of a “confrontation” in France, or even a “civil war”. For former Interior Minister Jean-Pierre Chevènement, “civil wars always start quietly and French society is facing a certain danger of fragmentation”. Gérard Collomb, another former Minister of the Interior, did not hesitate to say in 2018, during his transfer of power within the Ministry of the Interior itself: “Today, we live side by side and I say it, I fear that tomorrow we will live face to face.

In response to criticism about the usefulness of the 40 billion he spent on the suburbs when he was Minister of the Economy, Jean-Louis Borloo replied to Éric Zemmour: “I delayed the civil war by ten years”!

Police officers, columnists and sociologists are now openly talking about a probable civil war in France. The philosopher Michel Onfray goes even further, because according to him, “this civil war is not to come, it is already here”!

Putting an end to the excesses of victimhood claims, getting the citizens of the suburbs out of territorial, social and ethnic apartheid is the only way to avoid chaos. Instead of continuing to sugar-coat reality, the current presidential campaign should be an opportunity to open a real debate on this civil war that threatens to break out any day now in France.
