Marine Le Pen has long been target of the worst elements of globalism as she sought to restrict France’s suicidal immigration policy that saw crime rates skyrocket and no-go zones appear in France, as well as violent Islamic antisemitism. But ever since the beheading of teacher Samuel Paty, French citizens and leaders alike have been shaken to the core. President Emmanuel Macron has cracked down on jihad preaching and the mosques where that teaching takes place, and has continued to do so in defiance of charges of “Islamophobia.” Now Le Pen has “proposed a ban on Muslim headscarves in all public places” as she soared to a record high in a poll, “putting her almost neck-and-neck with President Emmanuel Macron.”
Le Pen views the hijab as a symbol of female inferiority in Islam, and indeed, Islamic tenets hold that women are indeed inferior to men.
In the words of well known Somali-born ex-Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who once wore the veil: “The veil deliberately marks women as private and restricted property, nonpersons. The veil sets women apart from men and apart from the world; it restrains them, confines them, grooms them for docility. A mind can be cramped just as a body may be, and a Muslim veil blinkers both your vision and your destiny. It is the mark of a kind of apartheid, not the domination of a race but of a sex.”
Marine Le Pen’s soaring popularity is now creating panic in the EU, as insiders are predicting an “enormous revolution” by populists in Brussels.
“Riding high in the polls, France’s Le Pen proposes hijab ban,” France 24, January 30, 2021:
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen proposed a ban on Muslim headscarves in all public places on Friday, seeking to build on a record recent poll putting her almost neck-and-neck with President Emmanuel Macron.
The hijab policy, which would be contested in court and almost certainly be ruled unconstitutional, saw the 53-year-old return to a familiar campaign theme 15 months from the country’s 2022 presidential election.
“I consider that the headscarf is an Islamist item of clothing,” Le Pen told reporters at a press conference where she proposed a new law to ban “Islamist ideologies” which she called “totalitarian and murderous.”
Since taking over France’s main far-right party from her father, Le Pen has run twice for the French presidency, losing badly in 2017 to political newcomer Macron in a defeat that she took months to recover from.
But recent polling shows her closer than ever to her ultimate prize and has led to a rash of new speculation about whether the anti-EU, anti-immigration populist could finally enter the Elysee Palace.
Despite recent setbacks for fellow ideologues such as Donald Trump, and Matteo Salvini in Italy, a survey reported earlier this week showed her within striking distance of Macron.
The poll conducted online by Harris Interactive suggested that if a final-round presidential run-off were held today Le Pen would garner 48 percent while Macron would be re-elected with 52 percent, Le Parisien newspaper reported.
“It’s a poll, it’s a snapshot of a moment, but what it shows is that the idea of me winning is credible, plausible even,” Le Pen said at the Friday press conference.
The prospect of a tight race set off alarm bells in the French political mainstream as the dual health and economic crises caused by the coronavirus pandemic sweep across the country.
“It’s the highest she has ever been at,” said Jean-Yves Camus, a French political scientist specialised in the far-right, while adding that it was “too early to take the polls at face value”….

islam must be proscribed in the west–it is a murderous cult

So there is some slim hope & a good example for the world.
Lavéritétriomphera says
I think the French political class, and not just Marine Le pen, is aware that Islam proposes a society project incompatible with our western values. That is why they are determined to fight against the so-called “political Islam”.
PRCS says
Yes, by now, no rational, informed adult–including Muslims– can honestly deny that Islam is both antithetical to, and incompatible with, Western values. As few Muslims will admit that publically (most pretending otherwise), it is up to courageous politicians–like Le Pen–to tell the obvious truth. IMO, so-called journalists will ultimately have to report that truth when they can no longer sell the “Islam means peace” nonsense. But Le Pen needs to ditch the adjectives and label the problem by its true name: Islam. Just Islam.
Lavéritétriomphera says
@PRCS
bonjour,
It’s an open secret that the Islamic project of society is incompatible with western values no matter how we select our words : Islam, political Islam, islamism and so on.

Bernard Hough says
The only worry I have is that if she wins and clears the camps on the French side, they will all be welcomed here. So what are the alternatives she would have?
Lavéritétriomphera says
@Bernard Hough,
Muslims in France are faced with an ultimatum. They accept our way of life, or in the event of a refusal, they take the consequences of their decision.
Buraq says
This is why the dynamic nature of Democracy is the perfect antidote to the static belief system preached by Islam. In a democracy, you can oppose and change what you don’t like. In Islam, you submit and keep your mouth shut.
Democracy and the Internet will neutralize Islam. It’s dynamism versus a 1,400 year old, moribund creed.
No contest!
Le Pen is mightier than the (Islamic) sword!
JimJFox says
Like it, Buraq! Another major Islamic atrocity in France would guarantee Le Pen victory, sad as that would be.
PRCS says
In the bad old days–700 ce to the advent of the Internet–Islam’s High Muckey Mucks could keep the umma from learning the truth about the ROP. Much to their chagrin, that is slowly, ever so slowly, becoming more difficult to do.
gravenimage says
PRCS–with all respect–Muslims have been waging violent Jihad, conquering Infidel lands, and imposing brutal Shari’ah law for 1400 years now. I think many Muslims have known what their foul creed teaches for a very long time now.
Our problem is not that Muslims are ignorant about Islam, but that so many of them know so much about it.
Lavéritétriomphera says
Hy gravenimage,
The ordinary Muslims were/are living in fear to the point of forbidding free thought.
Some of them are very poor and they were/are kept in ignorance far as may be possible.
The brainwashing is such that some Muslims are ready to give their prepubescent daughters away in mariage even though this could cause injuries or the children’s death https://www.freedomunited.org/news/yemeni-child-bride-dies-after-marriage/.
Bien à vous
gravenimage says
Bonjour, Lavéritétriomphera.
If Muslims are ready to have their chidren raped, then they by definition are *not* being kept ignorant of the “Prophet” having been a pedophile–nor that this horror is sacralized in Islam.
And yes–I’ve read about this terrible case in Yemen. Child marriage is rife in much of Dar-al-Islam, and its restriction is opposed by Muslim clerics.
And it is the same with Muslims waging violent Jihad–they are not being kept ignorant of this, either, in most cases.
Some Muslims are being lied to about Islam, but most of them are not. The Taqiyya is typically reserved for dealing with the “filthy Infidels”.
Lavéritétriomphera says
Salut à toi gravenimage,
Muslims are kept in ignorance of the fact that rapes, murders of “unbelievers”, honor killings … are wrong.
Keep in mind that the Islamic totalitarian system is a jail, jailers are cruel and they keep the prisoners in a state of terror and from thinking for themselves.
When people are under influence they experience, by definition, the greatest difficulty in thinking logically and in developing their reasoning.
In a nutshell, the prisoners have not the intuition for distinguish between good and evil, it’s someone else’s responsibility (the leaders) to take care of that.
Bien à toi
Jayell says
……‘totalitarian, murderous Islamist ideologies’……
No. That should read ‘totalitarian, murderous IslamIC ideologies’. There has never been any ‘islamism’, just plain ‘islam’ – that’s what the muslims themselves when they’re being honest, whenever that is.

At the last election, Macron & the Establishment conned the French People. The only way Macron will win if he “has the Fix” well in place. I simply cannot understand how certain French People want their country, its citizens & indeed, Europe destroyed. Le Pen All the Way!!
Dude says
Hot damn!
Infidel says
Last time, she lost it b’cos all the 3 opponents that she initially had clustered behind Macron. This time, hopefully, it’s a direct face-off and she wins. While Macron has done a few things commendable, such as crack down on muslims after the murder of Samuel Paty and defying both Turkey and Pakistan in retaliation for their screaming ‘islamophobia’, he’s still way short of where he needs to be

Here is Macron’s political “response” to the latest Islamic terrorism:
https://medforth.blog/2021/02/03/macron-submits-bill-against-radical-islam/
How this pans out in the next couple of years will be very interesting. Macron is under huge pressure from the French public, who like most Westerners are sick and tired of political correctness, to provide a strong response, which probably goes against his own politically-correct upbringing. Meanwhile, la belle Marine, with nothing to lose, awaits in the wings.
As the true face of Islam is exposed, what interesting times we live in……..
tim gallagher says
It would be great to see Le Pen win. Already Hungary and the other Visegrad bloc countries have slammed the door shut on the members of barbaric, evil islam. To see a big European country like France get really tough with that vile enemy, Islam, would be a fantastic development. I often wonder when the majority of the populations of our western countries will finally wake the hell up when it comes to islam, and maybe it could be finally happening. It is about time that all our non-Muslim countries told Islam, hey, we are awake to the barbaric, evil ideology you Muslims follow, and you can all bugger off, your evil ideology is not welcome in any of our countries. It’s probably a long way off but that is what I’d love to see happen one day.
Peter Buckley says
I think you’ll find that the actual people in the West “woke up” a long long time ago:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/aug/02/poll-islam-negative-britain
The problem is that it hasn’t been reflected in any of the mainstream parties. All it took was a few brave political souls some years back to reflect the majority view of Islam, and-shock, horror-people started to vote for these parties in their millions. There’s been a kind of inevitability about this for over a decade- Brexit, Trump, now all these so-called “extreme-right wing ” parties. Unless mainstream parties become more honest, this will continue to happen.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, Peter. I hope you are right. Out here in Australia, even from just getting around and talking to people, I don’t feel that enough people have woken up yet. Then again, many people that I know are fairly left wing (both my siblings and friends). I’d love to see a ban on Muslim migration, so I guess I am an extreme Islamophobe, but I don’t think that a very high percentage of Australians would support such a strong (I’d say sensible) approach. I keep thinking that, in any democracy, if enough of the population wake up and demand something from their politicians, then they’ll get the politicians to fall into line. I keep thinking that the majority of Hungarians must say to their politicians that they don’t want Muslims in their country. Anyway, I do wish that everyone in all our western nations would wake up and demand that our politicians end this experiment of letting Muslims into our countries. Here in Australia, the One Nation party, which would be the closest to the European parties such as Le Pen’s party, only reached around 10% of the vote and has fallen away to around 8% these days. Then again, Australia doesn’t have large number of Muslims that France has, so our problem isn’t as great as that of France.
juleonly says
Denmark is doing it.
tim gallagher says
Yes, juleonly, I saw that news about Denmark here at Jihad Watch and it thought it was good news. Every bit of progress is a good thing to see. There’s still a long way to go until almost all people wake up to islam’s barbaric nature.
Huh!?! says
I pray Le Pen makes it. Here stance would throw a wrench into the gears of islam and EU ineffective responses to the invasion of Europe’s homeland. I agree with the comments that Macron has done a decent job. His job goes flat with islam. He seems strong in one area then weak in another. To me it appears as if he is trying to find common ground from which to build. With islam there is not common ground. There is only islam above all. Le Pen has a better grasp of that situation. I pray the fervor for Le Pen does not fade by election day.

Macron is an NWO globalist, who like so many of his counterparts, is using islam to cower his public into accepting the elimination of their rights and freedoms (along with using the covid scam to do the same). Macron will make noises that he hopes will placate his non muslim public, but, won`t change the policies that his NWO masters have required that he enact. I don`t know where Marine Le Pen stands on many issues, but, if she represents the true populist alternative to Macron, then, I can only hope that the French people allow her the chance to replace Macron.
Bernard Hough says
I think fear of a Le Pen election is most likely the reason why more & more channel crossings to the UK are occuring, apart from which Jihad will be easier in an island that makes them more welcome. This is not Jihad by force (not yet anyway) but simply by outnumbering the Christian population. The person can be fine & friendly, but the religeon !!!!.
Kathleen Walsh says
Marine Le Pen is France’s Joan of Ark. Long may she reign.
The world can see how the illegals treat the UK. Yet turn their backs on the ex
Servicemen who live on the streets.
We taxpayers are fed up of paying for these ungrateful illegals who thought they where going into 4 star hotels.? Hopefully the message will get across the Channel.
Enough is really Enough.
Sylvia Drummond says
Banning the burkha will make no difference. Marine le Pen needs to address the problems brought by mohammedans in France by curtailing their influence and their numbers, by closing mosques and deporting the evil imams who inculcate their twisted narratives on susceptible young people. Such action would incite riots and that is what all governments live in fear of but if the atrocities are to stop, such action must be taken.
Viki Norman says
I don’t care for the scarf but should the government be dictating what to wear? That is another form of manipulation? Nuns wear head coverings? Jews wear yalmucas?
gravenimage says
No one is killing people for not wearing a wimple or a yarmulka. But Muslims regularly enforce the wearing of Hijab, including murdering those who refuse.
No Muzzies Here says
The French have retained love of country, unlike many other once-great superpowers. They still have a sense of national identity, in spite of the EU’s efforts to wipe out any feeling of national pride. There is a good chance Le Pen will be a significant challenge to the established power in the next election.
PRCS says
Le Pen’s proposed Muslim headscarf ban would gain more support by noting what its original purpose was–and still is: a non-verbal expression of Islamic supremacism.
https://quran.com/33/59
O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized ˹as virtuous˺ and not be harassed.
Given that Islamic law applies only to Muslims, we’re told:
She should make this clear to French citizens: that ayat means ‘kuffar’ French women’ are fair game to Muslim men.

She would do what other politicians (globally) don’t have the balls to do. Mind you, it will be heck of a job considering that the islamic virus is well entrenched into French society. Hopefully, French people have the will to go through hard times; they should if they remember WW2.
