France: Macron Vows Crackdown on Political Islam
2020-02-24
[GatestoneInstitute] French President Emmanuel Macron has announced new measures aimed at countering political Islam in La Belle France. The changes would limit the role that foreign governments have in La Belle France in training imams, financing mosques and educating children.

Macron also vowed to fight what he called "Islamist separatism" and to lead what he described as a "Republican reconquest"
...a very strong image, not lightly thrown around...
aimed at reasserting state control over Moslem ghettoes ‐ so-called no-go zones (zones urbaines sensibles, sensitive urban zones) ‐ in La Belle France.
Bring forth the tumbils!

#12   Re: #6. That's an incorrect spelling there Dron66046. The PM's name is spelled TURDEAU.

#11  Don’t forget the Yellow Vests, Dron66046. They still protest from time to time.

#10  I guess I've heard the same rumour. This is all damage control before 2022 to make sure LePen doesn't sweep the floor with him. Leftist snobs insult the intelligence of their citizens all the time. Then they get sent away. He will too. Every casualty in France to islamists; rape victims, survivors of murders, victims of gangs ... all are on him.

#9   Rumor has it that the French Generals have told Macaroni that either that he controls the Muslims or they will.

What a wonderful rumour. The alternative, I suspect, is Marine Le Pen in the presidential palace after the next election.

#7  Macron shows us what a Buttfug administration here would be like. A glib and callow youth busy with lots of faux-moderate symbolism; a weird marriage; general fecklessness.

#6  True. Macron is like Trudeaux and Merkel. No balls.

#5  Maybe but Macron hasn't got the balls. Last year at least 1,000 churches were attacked.

#4  I like it.
The situation has gotten to the point Macron has to talk tough to keep his job.
We'll see it he has some bone.
