Two legal systems, two sets of rules. The establishment of a new protected class in France, with privileges above and beyond those enjoyed by other groups. What could possibly go wrong?
“French Police Instructed to Bend Lockdown Rules for Muslims During Ramadan: Report,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, April 17, 2021:
Police and gendarmes in the French department of Tarn have reportedly been instructed to not give out warnings or fines to Muslims breaking Wuhan coronavirus curfew during Ramadan.
Officers have allegedly been instructed by the Tarn prefecture not to hand out warnings or fines to Muslims who travelling until 10 p.m. at night and from 5 a.m. in the morning as they go for prayers.
Currently, mainland France is under a curfew from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., according to the French government website, which lists several exemptions such as work or walking a pet within one kilometre of a residence — but does not list any specific religious exemptions.
According to a report from the newspaper Le Journal d’Ici, police officials in Tarn were informed earlier this week by internal email that “practitioners are authorized by the prefecture to dispense alms (resulting in the delivery of food to friends, families…).”
The internal emails also noted that the breaking of Ramadan fast in the evening ” is potentially likely to generate gatherings on public roads or in the vicinity of mosques.”
Local police spoke with the newspaper expressing concern with the move, with one officer saying he did not know how to really prove those on the street were Muslim, Jewish, or Christian….
Frédéric Roussel, the Tarn prefecture’s chief of staff, said the announcement largely applied to associations and mosques, noting that current rules allow home delivery of food and other goods by restaurants and other companies….
Infidel says
All this even as France is getting harangued by an irrelevant ‘power’ (I use the term loosely) – Pakistan. This is a country w/ no dignity, living up to the Monty Python meme of them as surrender monkeys. A country w/ a more confident sense of self would have pulled its embassy in Pakistan, closed Pakistan’s embassy in Paris and kicked out all their diplomats, cracked down on muslims even harder during Ramadan and made them uncomfortable enough to start looking elsewhere, and ended all its support to muslim countries from Pakistan to Mauritania
Their next elections can’t come fast enough

@infidel,
Surrender Monkeys: look at what is happening elsewhere and read a history book instead of making all up.
Ramadan is a nonsense an “nutritional aberration”. Some of these fasting people are in physical and psychological distress and they can become a danger to themselves or others.
Our government reacts in other areas:
Strasbourg: after his release of prison the Algerian man who refused to “deliver Jews” is deported to Algeria https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/grand-est/bas-rhin/strasbourg-0/strasbourg-expulsion-vers-l-algerie-du-livreur-qui-ne-voulait-pas-livrer-des-juifs-2050456.html.
mortimer says
If the French president surrenders without a shot being fired, Muslims will expect more and more. However, Christian churches get no such extraordinary privileges. The privileged class of Muslims will demand ever more and more and then fight fiercely if the new privileges are not permanent.
Lavéritétriomphera says
@mortimer,
« If the French president surrenders without a shot being fired, Muslims will expect more and more » (?).
France is a democratic country and the president doesn’t govern alone.
Looking at the history, French people never accepted the partition of the homeland. I believe Macron knows that and agrees with it.
Giacomo Latta says
This is good to know. The main question is why the door was wide open to this character (le livreur) in the first place.
Check Burry says
The funniest line must be “with one officer saying he did not know how to really prove those on the street were Muslim, Jewish, or Christian”
If he cant spot a mus he is in the wrong job, bright as a diamond in a goats ass.
Infidel says
They can do what they do during riots in the sub-continent – have them stripped and checked for circumcision?
Honest Ali says
Oh! So they are above the rest of us! And we are Dhimmis…
Folks, this is why the power of government must be severely limited. Or else.
somehistory says
They don’t want the cops to be beaten up, stabbed, beheaded, mobbed to death; and the only way to prevent those things is to let the criminals go their way to gorge their lustful appetites all night long.
I watched a documentary once a long time ago. It was all about eating things like huge steaks, large servings of roast, etc. And a doctor had taken moving pics of men who had not eaten, and then after they had eaten….and it showed their hearts before and after their meal.
Eating a lot of meat is hard on the heart muscle while the food is being digested.
Let them eat beef….lots and lots of it, as in acres of it, and then they can get all excited at whatever they plan to do about what they heard during the “preying” sessions. Perhaps instead of being able to engage in warfare, a few will pop their life’s corks.

Muslims can do a lot of damage to us before they drop dead from heart disease, unfortunately.
Keith O says
The mudslimes should be allowed to congregate in large groups without social distancing, without masks and without any health regulations during Ramadan.
Then made to strictly adhere adhere to the regulations afterwards.
That way they only spread the Chines Plague to each other and not to the rest of the population.
This should thin out the terrorists a bit.
Wellington says
Time and time again, one pose or another by Macron makes me think of him as the French equivalent of Mr. Bean.
Fitting if so. Damn disturbing too since Mr. Bean in a comedic series is quite enjoyable. But a Mr. Bean type running a major nation has trouble and then some written all over it. Macron more than proves this point by both countenance and far more by his actions and statements. He is not entirely clueless, has, I think, a dim, buried sense of how awful Islam really is, but is paralyzed by what to do about it.
Well, Macron is no De Gaulle, that’s for sure. And just reflect for a moment what De Gaulle would have thought of a Macron figure running France—after all, De Gaulle didn’t ruin the Fourth Republic, which he needed to, only to have a doofus like Macron in charge of the Fifth Republic.
Actually, Macron functions as an anti-de Gaulle. Not the right time for such weakness. Never a time for such weakness—actually.
France continues to drift. Much of Europe continues to drift. America under Dementia Joe is definitely drifting. In short, the West presently is in a new kind of Dark Age, all of its own making. Beyond dumb.
People who suck are now running the West. Even the current Pope, who should be a moral beacon, really, really sucks. Not lookin’ good.
Westman says
The reason “sucks” are running the West is simple – they are the ultimate followers who gauge the public with polls to determine what to say and what policies will be popular. Alexander, Napoleon, De Gaulle, Lincoln, Eisenhower, Trump are examples of actual leaders; unafraid to oppose public sentiment in the pursuit of sound policies.
We, the public, are the problem. The “leaders” follow us. Too many of us and our children have lost the values and priciples we possessed after surviving WWII by trading them for government dependency, hedonism, and “la partouze”
gregbeetham says
It means that what the authorities and the media know full well but aren’t saying is that to restrict the followers of the cult of Satan to the same level as everyone else runs the risk of much increased Jihad activity so being spineless weasels they make the religion of peace followers a protected species with special privileges just like the spineless weasels who run the social media corporations did.
Christopher Watson says
I live in France. Yesterday I needed some milk. I got in my car and set off for the nearest supermarket. After I’d gone some 50 metres I noticed the road was being re-paved. So I changed directions for a supermarket 4 miles away. When I was about 2 miles away I was stopped by a policeman who asked where I was going. I informed him I was going to buy some milk. He asked me to produce my ‘attestation’. I told him I did not what he was talking about. He told me that I needed to have an ‘attestation’ and that since I did not I would need to pay a fine of 135 euros. Now I would never break the law but I don’t listen to the radio and rarely watch TV. The only TV I watch is the BBC World News who aren’t likely to tell me about a French Law. Innocence of the law is of course no excuse but what is this law going to stop? The law stops people driving unless they are buying groceries, attending medical treatment, attending a dying relative, taking exercise or walking a pet or to go to work. People do not travel far anyway. This law is not going to change people’s travel arrangement. Since March 2020 I have not travelled more than 4 miles from my house. I rarely speak to anyone. My Belgian grandfather once told me what it was like to live under the German occupation in WW2. I am beginning to understand what he meant.
somehistory says
That’s terrible.
I watched a video from MN showing some women who were buying gasoline, ordered at rifle point out of their cars and made to kneel with hands behind heads…for breaking a curfew. The ones stopping them were dressed in what appeared to be military combat fatigues. And rifles were pointed at the heads and faces of the women, one wearing yoga pants.
It’s the innocent who are paying the price for the evil being inflicted upon mankind.
Check Burry says
My deepest sympathy Michael.
Rotten system, 2 sets of rules, 70/30 biased.
PRCS says
Pakistani PM Khan must’ve got to him.
Infidel says
Maybe they’ll post this news today, but Pakistan’s parliament will pass a resolution to expel the French ambassador. Pakistan’s government seems to have forgotten that it does have the right to expel any envoy, and terminate diplomatic relations if it desires
Like I suggested yesterday, France should be the one doing this – recall all its embassy staff from Islamabad and close it down, and then expel all of Pakistan’s embassy staff, and order every Pakistani citizen out of that country. Then lather, rinse, repeat for Turkey, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and so on
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
In America, journalist and author, Colin Flaherty, wrote a book titled, Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry. It addresses the hoax of Black victimization and how it is used to protect America’s favored class from criticism and responsibility. Robert should write a similar book addressing Europe’s favored class.

This is yet, another enactment policy of appeasement to the forces of Islam of Islam.
Those stealth and violent jihadists will view this policy as another sign of weakness and lack of resolve of another Western government.. This will cause them to become even more arrogant and hostile to the West. in their Islamic quest to conquer , by hook or by crook. all of Europe for Islam.

Grimly spot on.

After I posted my above essay I went to take a rest I’m no longer a young man, Then after I came back to this site I saw my disgust my keyboarding error. How I wish I was beyond error.
Nevertheless my message still stands , which is that the nation of France as well as all other Western countries need to have fortitude and not “cave in” to Islamic lobby groups nor threats by violent Muslims. Their Islamic contempt of Westerners and and Western governments will only increase if we become weak or even appear weak..

No major issues, Walter. Don’t worry about minor keyboard errors.

Richard Kruse says
In the UK lockdown restrictions were eased beginning April 12. Why April 12, you might ask? Well, it’s because Ramadan begins that day. Now Muslims can mix families and have gatherings that we infidels were prevented from having. We can’t have the police harassing the protected species, can we?
gravenimage says
Yep.
David says
Why should we Kuffars be bothered by what happens to the muslims, if they want to get together to spread the Covid among themselves then by me thats fine, if they cannot then get into a clogged up Hospital when they fall ill thats even better, stop fussing about the wretches, the less of them the better.
Andrew Blackadder says
Do people know that muslims around the entire World are laughing in faces of the infidel every day as they see our level of tolerance as our weakness while we see it as our strength.
