And why Paris is burning
Paris is burning. And the media would have you think that some French “youth” are protesting, and causing some mild “unrest” around France. Almost nobody wants to acknowledge why the situation in Paris has built up to this.
Robert Spencer at FrontPageMag is one of the few who gets it, though, and he nails it with this:
..the Paris riots demonstrate on a large scale the abject failure of the multiculturalist philosophy that disparate groups can coexist within a nation without any idea that they must share at least some basic values. The French are paying the price today for blithely assuming that France could absorb a population holding values vastly different from that of the host population without negative consequences for either.
That French officials show no sign, on the eighth day of the Paris riots, of recognizing that this clash of values is the heart of the problem only guarantees that before they will be able to say that their difficulties with their Muslim population are behind them, many more cars will be torched, many more buildings burned, and many more lives destroyed.
Exactly.
Muslims don’t want to live in a multicultural nation. We cannot simply absorb their culture and all just get along. You see, their cultural goal is an Islamic state, and their goal includes killing any infidels who stand between them and that goal. When your moral values allow you to behead little girls and burn Thai monks to death…well, you’re going to have a hard time fitting into my neighborhood.
Now is not the time for France to surrender again. These “youths” who are responsible for the “unrest” in Paris (read: Muslim gangs who are reeking violence and terror in Paris) need to be dealt with immediately and decisively. If it’s a fight they want, bring it to them. Either defeat them today, or capitulate and fall to them tomorrow.
Check out Michelle Malkin for an extensive roundup of the Paris riots.
Muslims don’t want to live in a multicultural nation.
Well that’s that, I suppose. Aside from the fact that the same thing could be said about many on the right its a little absurd to project that belief upon one billion people.
There’s a difference in…oh say, how the Jehova’s Witnesses “project” their form of religion on others, and how Islamofacists “project” their form of religion on others.
Christians in the US might want everyone to “find Christ”, but when they don’t, the Christians don’t cut the non-converts heads off.
Surely you understand how those two things are different. Right?
And you’re right…I don’t want to live in a multicultural society that includes a culture hell-bent on cutting the heads off of everybody who’s not one of them. But hey, that’s just me.
Of course.
Surely you understand that all Muslims are not ‘Islamofascists’, right?
Surely you understand that all Muslims are not ‘Islamofascists’, right?
Actually, I don’t know that.
But I do know that I haven’t seen much of an outcry or protestation from the Muslim masses to denounce these terrorists who are acting in their name and on their behalf. I havn’t seen them standup to and reject or defeat those who are supposedly “hijacking” their religion.
Right now, it looks very much like Islamofascism is the mainstream and widely accepted majority faction of Muslims world-wide. I have yet to see different.
Preston, just who are “the many” on the right you are referring to and “what” are you referring to and “where” is this whatever ocurring?
Dianne- remember the 90’s and the ‘culture wars’? Buchanan, Robertson, Bennett and others all piled on against multi-culturalism in favor the superiority of Anglo-Saxon Protestantism which was credited for bringing us the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

Multiculturalism isn’t the problem, it is labor regulation policy. Why aren’t Muslims rioting in the U.S.? For that matter, why aren’t Latinos rioting in the U.S.?
The problem in France is the high unemployment, especially of young immigrants (30+% unemployment raging in the Muslim “ghettos” of France) due to French labor restrictions. The country as a whole has had an unemployment rate of near 10% for quite a while now, and of course the younger, less skilled, and less connected folks have a harder time getting into the few job opportunities available.
Socialism is its own reward.
Preston…I think the culture wars in the U.S. are much greater now than they were in the 90’s. Just look at the illegal immigration issue for example where millions of people, republicans and democrats alike, are upset with the current situation. People are upset because illegal Mexican immigrants are overloading the health, education and welfare benefits system to the detriment of citizens. You throw in Christianity as the bad guy again and I’m rea,l real sick of Christianity being the whipping boy all the time.
I have to agree with Econotarian in large part…socialism is its own reward. However, you don’t see people in Norway or other socialistic countries rioting like they are in France. What’s different in France is the multicultural effect on top of the failure of socialism.
So exactly how much have time have dome of you small minded people spent in company of Muslims?
Having taught for many years in a school where 30% of the students are Muslim, and taught Religious Studies to mixed groups of Christians, Muslims, Sikhs and those of no religion, the descriptions of Muslims presented here are totally alien.
The Spanish Inquisition claimed to be Christian. The Aparthied movement in South Africa claimed legitimacy through Christianity.
They were wrong in the same way that the current corruptions of Islam are wrong.
I write as one who believes in God, but follows no religion.
