The indigenous French are disgusted with the government’s response to the Muslim riots. There was fury at President Macron’s remark about the policeman, Florian M., that his act was both “inexplicable” and “unforgivable.” Whatever happened, many wondered, to the presumption of innocence? And why was Macron’s remark echoed by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and Minister of the Interior Gerard Darmanin? The lawyer for the policeman explained that his gun had been aimed at Nahel Merzouk’s leg, but when the car suddenly accelerated, he was jolted and the gun was pointed higher up when he fired, hitting Nahel in the chest.
More on the French reaction to the riots can be found here: “French riots: 71% of French back reduction in immigration, 78% want financial sanctions on rioters’ parents,” by Denes Albert, Remix News, July 7, 2023
Following a week of rioting and looting across several French cities, the majority of French citizens want stricter migration controls and sanctions against the families of those who participated in the vandalism, a poll conducted by Odoxa-Backbone Consulting for Le Figaro newspaper revealed.
Although the French government has claimed that the rioting had nothing to do with immigration, a point widely mocked. 71 percent of those polled say they want a reduction in migratory flows in response to the riots. A majority also supported two proposals put forward by the right-wing Les Républicains party and the National Rally: the abolition of the “excuse of minors” (78 percent) and an introduction of “financial sanctions” against the parents of delinquents (77 percent).
A whopping 75 percent of respondents said for those rioters convicted of crimes should have their French citizenship stripped if they are dual nationals.
Some 59 percent of respondents are calling for a tougher immigration bill this autumn. They see recent events as “the consequence of the failings of our migration policy.” This contrasts with Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin’s statement that “there were a lot of Kévins and Mattéos” among those arrested, who were “90 percent French.” This led to Darmanin claiming that “the issue today is young delinquents, not foreigners.”
Darmanin’s remark about “a lot of Kevins and Matteos” was greeted with contempt. Everyone who saw videos of the riots, heard the Allahu-akbaring, saw the interviews with boys from the “bled” (the hood), knew that almost all of the rioters were Muslims, which has been confirmed by the identities of the more than 3,200 rioters taken into custody., There were a scarcely discernible handful of ”Kevins and Matteos.” Not “a lot” as Darmanin claims. A handful.
However, as has been noted numerous times, many of those arrested were second- and third-generation migrants, and much of the video captured of the rioting showed that people of non-European ancestry were participating in the majority of looting incidents and violence caught on film.
Darmanin claims that the issue is one of “young delinquents, not foreigners.” He seems to think that once these Muslims become citizens, either through naturalization, or because they are second or third-generation migrants, and thus citizens by birth, they are no longer a problem. It’s only “foreigners” who rioted. But with or without citizenship, the Muslims are permanent “foreigners” because they continue to reject both France as their country, and the French who, as Infidels, are “the most vile of created beings.” Neither he nor any other member of Macron’s administration has dared to discuss the ideology of Islam that feeds the anti-French rage.
The survey found that while popular support for the forces of law and order remains high (64 percent), faith in the French government is dwindling — only 27 percent of respondents considered the government’s response to the crisis to be either good or adequate. On the contrary, the French are expecting tougher measures to be introduced from the government, particularly on immigration.
In its own analysis of the polling data, Odoxa identified the main sentiments of the French population towards the riots as confusion (77 percent), anger (84 percent), and fear for the future of the country (89 percent).
The “confusion” of the French is caused by what their government keeps assuring them – how can they not be confused when Islam is never mentioned, when they are told by their government two things, both of them false,that the rioters were “mostly ‘foreigners’” and, at the same time, that there were “a lot of Kevins and Matteos” among them. And how can they not be angry when they see the more than one billion euros of destruction, the 6000 torched cars, the 500 busses burned, the thousands of shops pillaged and then set on fire, the offices of mayors destroyed, the attempt to murder a mayor and his family, the famed Alcazar Library in Marseille set aflame? And all this monstrous destruction was inflicted despite the tens of billions of euros spent very year on Muslims by the French government, to provide housing, medical care, schooling for the children, family allowances, unemployment benefits, and more? That is why 89% are fearful for the future of their country. In 2022, Muslim migration to France reached an all-time high.The government deliberately tries to mislead the public about the composition of the rioters. Macron, Borne, and Darmanin all denounce the policeman before he has had a trial. 71% of the French public now want to curb immigration, but the government still remains silent on the matter, and Macron, hated by so many for his failure to deal with the Muslim problem, still has four years to remain in office as President of the Republic.
Yes, the French people are right, after these riots, to be overwhelmingly confused, angry, and fearful for the future of their country.

That Muslim rioting in Paris , France isn’t limited to that nation. Such Islamic rioting occurs in the other countries of Europe as well .as in for example Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark Sweden Germany etc. This unthankful Islamic spirit on the part of those lawless violent Muslims who immigrated to the countries of Europe may be explain, in part, by the fact that the Muslim fundamentalist group that even had the president of Egypt assassinated in the month of October of the year 1981 has a fifty –five booklet that is was written only for Muslims fundamentalists but was later discover by non-Muslims.
This booklet’s title is THE NEGLECTED DUTY. One scholar, Johannes Jansen who had thoroughly investigated Islam and Islamic terrorism has even discover that those Muslims, who had entered Europe of behaved in violent and heinous ways, are actually action out what they view and a sacred individual duty of the jihad as by engaging in awful violent criminal action in non-Muslim lands . As Jansen revealed that jihad booklet of Islam, THE NEGLECTED DUTY “contains all the ideological material needed to justify the attacks of 9/11 or any other acts of terror committed to frighten non-Muslims. And he thinks the document explains the criminal behavior of suburban and center –city immigrant youngsters in many European cities; its author clearly ‘sees Islam as license to kill rob and commit arson.’ “ [1]
Nevertheless, many of the apologists for Islam still have that blatant gall , in spite of all the facts of reality, to actually make the claim the Islam is a “peaceful religion.” What a totally false to make that Islam is “a peaceful religion “What Bull! A “peaceful religion” indeed.

The riots are a panto rerun of the Algieran civil war of the 1990s..The same feckless youth parading their frustrations, using Islam as a rallying flag,
martin infidel says
and now algeria is 99% muslim !
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Algeria was 99% muslim even then. It’s not like it’s just Algerian Christians, if any, who fled to France. But Algeria has always had a strong Left-oriented regime that crushed islamic groups like FIS. They don’t have anywhere near the problems that France has

Those horrendously horrible riots in the city of Paris along with the arson extreme violence and murder that is also part of it does have the insidious hand of jihadist instigation in it a major way.
Another jihadist evil in a smaller way but still very tragic was an earlier Muslim terrorist vehicle murder of a young French woman is a evil and tragic reminder that ISIS had called for and is still is calling for “lone wolf” Islamic terrors attack in France.
Even before that heinous intentional vehicle jihad murder was that jihadist shooter and murderer in Strasbourg are revealing if the vicious nature of both ISIS and I slam of which the Islamic “state” is built upon. There were also those brutal murderous Islamic terror attacks of Charlie Hebdo and then later th ose jihad ISIS attack in Paris, France, on November 13, 2015 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack. Then those vicious and murdering ISIS jihad terror attacks in Paris France on July 14, 2016. Even before those malicious ISIS jihad attacks an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1]
This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS. The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice. Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.
Therefore, it’s only a matter of time before the people who the citizens of the nation of France experience the horrors of another Islamic terror attack or attacks. In another city of town of France. In other words, it’s not a matter of “if “but of “when.”

At last someone has the guts to point it out – these are muslim riots purely to further their jihad agenda, nothing to do with the death of yet another of their criminals after being lawfully shot whilst trying evade the law.

But they still vote for Macron or other left idiots, not LePen. The same happens in Canada or most western countries. French people should blame themselves as well as the muslim rioters.

This is because of the hate mongering by the left against the right, I’m afraid. Apparently it is quite effective.
