This is being denounced as “racist” and “Islamophobic,” but it really shouldn’t be remotely controversial. If any churches were found to be “breeding grounds of terrorism,” they should be closed as well. Religious freedom is not a license to break other laws.
“France closes 9 places of worship under campaign against Islamic extremism: Report,” ANI, January 16, 2021:
France has closed nine places of worship under the nationwide campaign against Islamic extremism, the country’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said.
“In line with the orders of the president of the Republic and the prime minister we are taking decisive steps against the Islamist separatism. Out of 18 places of worship under special surveillance nine have been closed upon my request,” the minister wrote on his Twitter page on late Friday.
According to the Figaro newspaper, three of the closed facilities were located in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis near Paris….

Mount Zion says
Compared to what christians and other minorities go trough when it comes to their places of worship like most recently the unprovoced attack on that Hindu temple in Pakistan , the closing of nine mosques seems to me more than justified due to the constant disruption of public peace and beheadings and display of supremacy and honour killings and gang rapes and vehicular jihad and FGM and child marriage and sharija patrols , I could go on and on and on .

Perhaps one needs to redefine the concept of ‘worship’ as per the standards of islam. On that basis, one could say that Hitler sent his bombers to ‘worship’ over London and Coventry, as did the RAF and USAF over Berlin and Dresden, the Japanese ‘worshipped’ over Pearl Harbor, those Saudi citizens were actually ‘worshipping’ at the Twin Towers (as they still intend to do?) and, of course, every thermo-nuclear event involving the Disciples of the Great Prophet is an Act of Divine Worship, the greater the carnage, the greater the sanctity and evidence of holy and righteous devotion to the All Merciful and Gracious Allah.

Finally, the leaders of a secular democracy defend it’s core values against the undeserved deference Islam and it’s jihadists have come to expect. The weening period has just started and some of the most unruly children no longer have a home. Of course the kicking and screaming continues but not completely unabated this time.

It’s going to be interesting to watch. France has a snake in its midst called Islam, & the Muslims are outbreeding the native French. The snake is going to get too much for the French to handle soon.

Nine closed is a small start, but the old song goes “from little things, big things grow”.
So we can only hope that the trend the French started goes viral.

China also closed mosques and removed the the k book, after Uighurs terror attack on Chineses citizens from 1989 thru 2017. I had only heard of one media report, apparently they wouldn’t recognize it from the CVE guidelines after purging of intelligence data for those who protect.
Walter Sieruk says
About this article and a word used in the title of this article. Two thing should be made clear..
First,the construction of the many mosques in France as well as the other countries of Europe not only means that more and more Muslims are entering those nations and likewise more and more people of France and other countries of Europe are now being proselytize to Islam.
This may be disturbing enough. In addition, this mass construction of mosques in both France and and also the other nations of Europe have still a further meaning which has been explained by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, in his book ISLAM THE HOUSE I LEFT BEHIND for in page 99 it informs the reader that “The mosque is vital for establishing Muslims as sovereign over non-Muslims in a non-Islamic society or country. Building a mosque in a non-Islamic society or country symbolizes Islam’s claim over that society or country, even with a non-Muslim majority.”
Second, the article’s heading used the bogus word “Islamist.” Likewise, the word “Islamism” is also a fake word that were made up after September 11, 2001 in order offend or upset non-violent Muslims. The real, actual, word is just “Islam.” Likewise, the word “Islamist” is also a bogus word that was made up after 9/11 in order not to offend or upset peaceful Muslims. To keep with reality, terms should better be used as “Islamic terrorist” or “Muslim terrorist” . Let’s call people and thing as the really are.
Likewise ,the terms “Radical Muslim” and “Islamic extremist” is actually a misuse of terms. “Moderate Muslim” are actually Western term and not that well known in the Islamic Middle East. This is because what In the Islamic mindset in the Muslim Middle East as well as in Indonesia and other Muslim controlled countries what the non-Muslims of the Western nations view as “radical and “extremist” the Muslims of those places in the world see as “Normal” and even Devout and committed to the Cause of Islam”.
Furthermore, those “Moderate Muslims” are those of the Islamic worldview and non-devout and non –committed Muslims. The violent jihadists even see them as “hypocrites.” Therefore, this explains the jihadist chant of those jihad-minded Muslims in different Islamic terror organizations. When they chant out loud “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” Meaning Death to people who and not Muslims and people who are non- jihadist Muslims.
Concerning the last part of this above essay, the violent spirit of that vicious jihadist chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” The later word of the chant “hypocrites” in the jihad –minded Muslim worldview is further explain in the book titled JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH by Jamie Glazov , for on page 42 the reader is informed that “Islam mandates that devout and real Muslims must punish , and in some circumstances kill, those Muslims whom they regard as neither legitimate nor properly devout.”

tim gallagher says
It’s a good move by the French government. The beheading of the teacher a while back may turn out to be a big blunder by the Muslim enemy. I read a comment here at Jihad Watch not so long ago which said that France had close to 9% Muslims in their population and I thought that France is in really big trouble with such a large percentage. They are in for a big battle with such a large number of the Muslim enemy in that country. I think that merely closing mosques won’t work, they probably have to find a way (as in deport plenty of the Muslim enemy) to lower the percentage of Muslims in the French population. Almost 9% spells enormous trouble for France or any other country. It’s a problem those wise Hungarians won’t have to face.

A good article from American Thinker addressing the various tipping points regarding population percentages.
For example:

Thanks for the comments, David, Check and thanks for the information about that article, James. You are doing well in the USA with only 0.6% Muslims. Maybe you don’t have that much to worry about there, although I guess Biden’s mob will open the doors like the idiots they are. I thought that Australia was around 2%, so our percentage is a little better than I thought. It is interesting how they say in the article that if the Muslims are 2% or lower, the Muslims will remain reasonably peaceful. I think that that means only that the Muslim enemy will merely hypocritically pretend to be peaceful and will pretend that they want to fit in, only because they are powerless at that percentage. I truly believe that Hungary and the other Visegrad bloc countries have the right approach to islam. Keep this barbaric load of crap out of our more civilised countries. Islam definitely brings nothing good to any country. Keep Muslims at 0%. At 9%, I feel France may have left things far too late to fight back against the invading Muslim enemy.
Fred van de Bunt says
Most probably some clandestine praying sheds they closed.
In the meantime the French State also made a covenant with the French Muslim leadership (CFCM) about “enlightened Islam”. Tareq Oubrou, imam of the mosque of Bordeaux, rejected the covenant: “The CFCM has no influence on the reality of Muslims in France.”
https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/french-muslim-leaders-approve-charter-outlining-enlightened-islam-20210119-p56v8w.html
Tareq Oubrou, an important French Muslim leader, wants more “understanding” between Muslims and others. About some terror attacks in France he said before:
“This is a new level of terrorism, which has no doctrine, no law and no faith.”
https://www.arabnews.com/node/1770291/world
But the doctrine is the sharia system and laws, as 56 Islam countries have declared to uphold in the Cairo declaration, the doctrine of the Quran, also to be evangelized by criminal terrorism, as explained by Allah and Mohammed in the Quran.
That is all to understand, so it is important to rephrase what Tareq Obrou said:
“This Muslim terror in France has a holy doctrine, with its divine sharia system and laws and its faith is Islam.”
Michael Copeland says

“Praying shed” = Conspiracy House

; Exactly, freedom of religion doesn’t grant the freedom to be a criminal. There are “peaceful” references in religious texts, and yet, somehow, the mentally-ill zealots only see the violent references as inspiration. Interesting, that.
