“French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner has announced that in 2019 the French government closed down two radical mosques and placed another 63 under surveillance.The two radical mosques closed last year were done so under the powers granted to the Interior Ministry by the SILT anti-terrorism laws that were enacted in October 2017 to replace the prior state of emergency.”
This is a surprise move by France, given its globalist President Emmanuel Macron. Nonetheless, it is very encouraging news; other Western nations should follow suit. It is no secret that jihadist messages are being spread through mosques and Islamic centers. Confronting the ideological war against Western countries is critical to stymie efforts to subvert those countries. Messages which promote hate, subversion of the House of War, supremacy and jihad against infidels are all too common.
In January, Breitbart reported about a leaked intelligence report that revealed that an alarming “150 neighbourhoods across France are ‘held’ by Islamist radicals.” The report also discussed no-go suburbs of Paris, and the rise of a Muslim political party.
“French Govt Closed Two Radical Mosques, Put 63 More Under Surveillance,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, February 16, 2020:
French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner has announced that in 2019 the French government closed down two radical mosques and placed another 63 under surveillance.
The two radical mosques closed last year were done so under the powers granted to the Interior Ministry by the SILT anti-terrorism laws that were enacted in October 2017 to replace the prior state of emergency.
Castaner added that there have been a total of “31 terrorist attacks since January 1, 2017” and noted that “30 places of worship are subject to closure measures and 7 procedures are underway”. He claimed that health and safety provisions were also being used in certain cases, LCI reports.
Individual administrative control measures (Micas), which replace house arrests, were also up significantly in 2019 by 84 per cent, for a total of 134 cases.
Most of the cases were focused in the Ille-de-France region where Paris and the no-go multicultural suburbs of Seine-Saint-Denis are located.
The four pillars of the SILT anti-terrorism laws — closure of mosques and places of worship, Micas, home visits by authorities, and establishing security perimeters — are being tested by French authorities until the end of this year.
Following the end of the year, the measures will be evaluated as to their efficacy and it will be decided whether the government will extend or modify them.
The closures come just months after French Secretary of State for the Interior, Laurent Nuñez, announced that the government had shut down 30 drinking establishments, 12 places of worship, three schools, and nine associations linked to radical Islam.
Despite the closures, a leaked report from the General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI), France’s internal security agency, claimed that as many as 150 neighbourhoods across the country were “held” by Muslim radicals…..
SKA says
Once the governments come to understand that “jihad” is a fundamental doctrine of the religion they cannot escape the conclusion that the religion itself cannot claim equal protection under the law as do other doctrines tolerated as exercises of the freedom of conscience.
Keys says
To put it politely, Islam is an “excessive entanglement” of a religion and an exclusionary supremacist political agenda (jihad).
PRCS says
To them, however, it’s not.
Rather, a 1400 year long way of llife.
Halal Bacon says
garbage in = garbage out
Keys says
muslims in = more muslims
more muslims = more problems
James Lincoln says
Yes, keys – more muslims = more problems.
And the correlation is not merely linear, it’s exponential…
elee says
I not sure it wouldnt have been better to keep them open and surveill closely. Then again…….only 63 mosques in all of France? I hope there is a lot that they arent telling us.
SKA says
This is the conflict between needs of surveillance and needs of law enforcement and prevention of harm. While the intelligence gathering wants to protect sources and methods once the intelligence collected indicates a credible threat one must act on it. And pursuing trial convictions of wrong doers will require discovery of methods used to obtain relevant evidence.
Iambob says
What does ‘closing them down’ actually mean? How did they do that?
Keys says
Good question, lambob.
And what good does it do to “shut down 30 drinking establishments, 12 places of worship, three schools, and nine associations linked to radical Islam”, if the muslims who ran them and supported them are still around ?
It’s like finding families of mice all over your house and getting rid of some of the nests.
James Lincoln says
Great analogy, Keys.
All muslims who can be legally deported should be deported – permanently.
No other muslims should be allowed to immigrate, i.e., a muslim ban.
ALL mosques should be under surveillance – and closed permanently if their imams say ANYTHING that promotes violence.
That’s for starters…
Dawne Swift says
Wikipedia states “There are currently about 2,300 mosques in France with a further 200 to 250 planned” – so they’re continuing to surveil 63 of these and not the remainder. I’d be surprised if the remainder of mosques aren’t also preaching JIhad – after all it’s a central tenet of the Quran and surely the Quran is what the mosques are supposed to teach?
mortimer says
Macron (a protégé ‘bankster’) preposterously presented himself as a ‘socialist’ and then dropped the pretense after his bankster cronies bought the election.
I wonder what his platform will be in the coming election … perhaps, they will try to bribe the people with free stuff. The French bankster party doesn’t have to do much if they own and operate all the media. They will probably repeat the slanders they used against Le Pen last time.
Keys says
Good points, Dawne Swift.
It’s the “Iceberg Principle” or “Cockroach Principle”.
I prefer “Iceberg” because of the graphic Titanic tragedy.
And why are 200 – 250 more planned ? More Hijrah expected ?
Yogi says
I tough it was at least hundreds..
b.a. freeman says
about those closed-down mosques … what was done with their imams, and the most-pious jihadis of each one? if they didn’t deport them, nothing much will change, except that it will be harder to track down or stop jihadi attacks by the bad guys.
SKA says
France has been very active in deporting radical imams in the past.
mortimer says
They cannot deport French citizens.
PRCS says
Not to be mean, but:
How do ‘radical imams’ differ from regular imams?
Keys says
Bigger zebibahs.
PRCS says
Good one!
James Lincoln says
PRCS,
Radical imams promote islam.
Regular imams promote islam.
ET says
One says. “There is no separation of mosque and state”.
The other says “There is no separation of state and mosque”.
PRCS says
Good humor, JL and Et.
And, true.
gravenimage says
Good exchange.
No Muzzies Here says
Why would this never happen in the USA? (Because many Americans stupidly believe that freedom to practice one’s religion includes the freedom to violate American laws.)
SKA says
Well the US government actually banned an entire religious movement using its terrorism statutes namely the Aum Shin Rykio doomsday cult after they attacked the Tokyo subway system with sarin gas.
The problem is political: there are so many Muslim citizens/voters who have formed effective lobbying groups like CAIR that the religion/political movement as a whole has become almost invulnerable.
However has Anjuli Pandavar has pointed out in her brilliant “The Muslim’s Inner Struggles” series published here, the very act of existing within a Western culture exposes the religion to cognitive dissonance which will lead to more defections.
PRCS says
And, Muslims in America who’ve taken an oath to ‘support and defend’ have–with much fanfare–continued to do so with one hand on a book which states–in overt incompatibility with our constitution:
9:29 Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
Had Nancy Pelosi publicly kissed Omar and Tlaib’s respective butts while being sworn in, I wouldn’t have been surprised
PRCS says
Yes, too many of our friends and neighbors have either not read or do not understand the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause:
While Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion [i.e., establishing a national religion], or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”, other laws prohibit murder, cruel and unusual punishment, etc.).
Jayell says
Do I correctly recall the French authorities closing down a large number (over 100) of mosques/islamic centres several years ago? If so muslims didn’t take a hint from that, apparently.
gravenimage says
Jayell, that is this story:
“France’s Disappearing Mosques”
Twenty of France’s 2,500 mosques and prayer halls have been shut down since December for allegedly preaching a radical interpretation of Islam.
https://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2016/08/french-mosques-islam/493919/
Not sure how many were finally closed down.
Dawne Swift says
I’d say it’s no coincidence that this has been done a bare 2 months before the first round of the next Presidential election in France in April. If you look at current support for the National Rally (France) party it’s increasing amongst the electorate and small wonder at that with all of the many terrorist incidents throughout France. Macron is getting worried about his chances of re-election.
mortimer says
The Red-Green Axis is disintegrating. The ‘Reds’ are crushing the ‘Greens’. Now the ‘Greens’ have an excuse to take revenge.
Jihadists in France will inevitably take revenge. France will have to train more auxiliary police.
gravenimage says
I *hope so* Mortimer. May be too soon to declare victory, though.
jca reid says
Really no point. They A Imagine spouting ..ALL preach jjihad against their host countries. After all, they’re just preaching what is in their “Holy” Texts. Imagine, someone standing up in a Park & spout off to kill/subjugate ethnic minorities, other religious groups, that person would be banged up pretty damn quick! Yet, when it comes to Islamists it is permitted! Nay, encouraged & endorsed by non-Muslims.
Spiro says
The two that got caught
Condor says
Too Little Too Late…France is compromised …
Jay says
This Muslim invasion into France proves that immigration with no acclimation to French culture, NEVER
works!! And France pays huge amounts of welfare to these invaders too. No go zones, daily terror attacks, the fire at Notre Dame church, rape gangs, destruction of schools, etc. ….It’s the definition of insanity.
What part of this did Macron and the French government NOT understand?? It’s happening all over Europe as well as England! What would PM Churchill say about this today? After World War II, and defeating Hitler, and basically saving the world, to allow this Muslim destruction and invasion to take hold is very hard to understand and accept! I pray the future of Europe and England, and its soverignity, are able to be saved for the good of the world and mankind.
God bless France , England, and all of Europe !??
God bless America! ????
Chaz says
Here’s a question? When is the USA going to side up and get their act together??:-)
Tricia Stuercke says
Thank You, Christine!!!
Praise the Lord!
The Prophecies I’ve been “compelled” to follow in these 13 bedridden years foretell many horrors for France & Italy. The destruction of Notre Dame was NOT prophecied, but a Muslim Bombardment, Terror Attack & Destruction of the treasured Sacred Heart Basilica on Montmatre Hill IS prophecied!
(La Basilique du Sacre’-Coeur de Montmatre)
There was enough “suspicion” of the Notre Dame disaster to warrant increased surveillance of Mosques…necessary repairs were being done, but by a largely-Muslim “Refugee”/I’d argue HIJRAH crew! Poor old Catholic Christian Father Jacque was beheaded on the altar 1.5yrsish before that, with countless “young Muslim men” incidents of Extreme Vandalism, Theft, Assault & Threatening between both.
Praise Jesus there’s some common sense left in France, 1 of Our Lord & Lady’s most-blessed countries!
Also prophecied for France is another horrific Muslim attack: On the Eiffel Tower.
The last set of Prophecies this accurate were prior to The Rwandan Genocide!
“The River will be filled with bodies & flow with blood! Flee!” Laughed off of course,
1 Million were hacked to death, & the River was exactly as foretold.
How many lose the precious Gift of Life cuz they’re too Lazy, Arrogant, or Ignorant to READ, research, & humbly obey?

France: Two mosques shut down for preaching jihad, 63 others under surveillance
………………….
Good to see some small sanity out of France.
James Lincoln says
Yes, gravenimage.
At least it’s a start – but maybe too little too late…
gravenimage says
I hope not, James. I just hope French authorities follow this up with more. After all, all Mosques preach the horrors of Islam.
Goofy says
A good beginning, but if you study the Koran you are bound to find radical Islam. The French appear to go for Islam Light, but is there such a thing? If we are honest isn’t the very nature of Islam it’s commands to hate, exploit and subdue the nonbelievers? I would love to be convinced that I am wrong but am I?
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
In Europe, the python’s grip is under full sway.
Only the truth and voices of reason will release its deadly grasp.
PRCS says
Now, almost 20 years post 9/11–and the many gruesome mass murders carried out by jihadists around the world–still waiting for those voices: there and here.
