France expels Swiss grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder
[IsraelTimes] Islamist preacher Hani Ramadan, brother of intellectual Tariq Ramadan, tossed in the calaboose as part of bid to stem ’radicalization,’ authorities say.

La Belle France on Saturday expelled controversial Swiss Islamist preacher Hani Ramadan who posed "a serious threat to public order," the interior ministry said.

Ramadan, whose brother is the intellectual Tariq Ramadan and whose grandfather founded Egypt’s radical Moslem Brüderbund, was placed in durance vile
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
in Colmar, eastern La Belle France, while attending a conference.

He was "known in the past to have adopted behavior and made remarks which pose a serious threat on French soil," the ministry said in a statement.

"The interior ministry and the forces of law and order are fully mobilized and will continue to fight ceaselessly against extremism and radicalization," Interior Minister Matthias Fekl said in the statement.

In 2002 Hani Ramadan was sacked from his teaching post in Switzerland
...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
after writing an article in French newspaper Le Monde in support of the stoning of adulterers and suggesting that AIDS was a divine punishment.

Six years later he won 345,000 Swiss francs compensation over the sacking.

Ramadan’s brother Tariq is banned from entering the United States.
The times, they are a-changing:
In France, bracing for possible Le Pen 'nightmare'

[Yahoo] What if Marine Le Pen wins in May?

Two weeks before the French cast their first presidential ballots, the spectre of victory for the far-right leader who promises to crack down on immigration and outlaw gay marriage sends shivers down many a spine.

Pollsters say the anti-EU firebrand
...firebrands are noted more for audio volume and the quantity of spittle generated than for any actual logic in their arguments...
can count on the unwavering support of about one in four voters to get her past the first round of voting on April 23.

Although they also say the National Front (FN) leader cannot win in the decisive May 7 runoff whoever she faces, a great many pundits were wrong about Brexit and Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
after failing to feel the populist pulse.

And with one in three voters still undecided at this late stage, pollsters would be wise to hedge their bets.

Predictions of a "nightmare" Le Pen presidency abound in bookstores and the media.
