| France Unveils ‘Separatist’ Bill to Combat the ‘Enemy’ of Radical Islam |
| 2020-12-10 |
| [Breitbart] A draft law aimed at arming La Belle France against Islamist radicalism was unveiled Wednesday, a measure promoted by President Emmanuel Macron to rout out what he calls "separatists" undermining the nation. Parliament is expected to open what is likely to be a lively debate on the draft law in the months ahead. The measure, long in the making and refined until days before its presentation, has gone through various name changes and is now known by the delicate title "Supporting Republican Principles." Prime Minister Jean Castex said those whose project is to "divide and spread hate and violence" are at the center of "separatism." Separatism is especially dangerous because it "is the manifestation of a conscious, theorized, political-religious project with an ambition to make religious norms predominate over the law," he said at a news conference. In an interview with the newspaper Le Monde he said the nature of a law is long-term and it would apply to any political ideology that threatens French values, "even if today it is radical Islamism that we try by all means to fight." Castex and others insist that neither Islam as a religion nor regular Moslems are targeted by the draft law. Neither is named in the text made up of about 50 articles aimed at enabling better oversight of mosques, associations, public services and schools. The aim is to reduce the space where Death Eaters can operate and ensure that French values, including secularism, are guaranteed. Among notable measures is making school obligatory from age 3 with the ability to opt out in favor of home schooling for special cases only. The measure is aimed at ending so-called clandestine schools run by fundamentalists with their own agenda. Another article encourages mosques to register as places of worship, so as to better identify them. Many of the nation´s more than 2,600 mosques currently operate under rules for associations. Foreign funding for mosques, while not forbidden, would have to be declared if more than 10,000 euros. The draft law would make it a crime punishable by fines and up to one year in prison for a doctor to provide a young woman with virginity certificates, sometimes demanded ahead of marriage. To do away with forced marriages, a measure requires the couple to meet separately for an interview with an official when there is a doubt about free consent. If the doubt persists, the official must take the issue to a prosecutor who could forbid the marriage. Those practicing polygamy would be forbidden French residence cards. |

| #13 It was 'The Whimper of Whipped Dogs' by Harlan Ellison for me. Befriend violence, don't shy away from it. |

| #10 /\ Reading The Camp of the Saints I asked a fellow at FTLW years ago "have you read Killing Pablo." His response, "I don't have to read the book." If we live long enough, we'll have the same response to Camp of The Saints. |

| #9 Or maybe Jean Raspail's Le Camp des Saints That was a previous episode. Good book. Reading The Camp of the Saints while watching the same thing unfold on the news was a bit surreal. The events in the book seemed a trifle preposterous. Would the nations of Europe really roll over like that for waves of unwanted 'migrants'? Apparently, the answer is yes. Or was. I got access to both novels, Submission and Saints, in English thru the state inter-library loan system. We may not be able to hold an election, but we've got a decent library system. |

| #8 Submission is available in both English and French from Amazon. Raspail’s book is available in English translation from the Internet Archive, for those who do not already have it and don’t feel the need to spend over $100 to acquire it. |

| #6 Interesting that the French are finally getting on with this. I wonder what happened. Did Macron finally get around to reading Michel Houellebecq's Submission? |

| #5 ^Agreed. Bonis nocet quisquis pepercerit malis. |

| #4 I'm just saying if populations fought viciously for their turf, the muslims would understand that language. It's the pansy 'hug a muzz today to be human' culture that is enabling their delusions that all of them deserve acceptance. Humanity cannot deserve to be complacent about anything, we cannot create constitutions and wait for utopias to settle in. The rule of reason has to be protected by selective unfairness to unreasonable bastitches. |

| #2 ^What if they cannot be civilized? |

| #1 All of this has easy workarounds. Remember, they're Asians; they know how to deal with any pansy European measures to contain their culture. No, the countries suffering from islam should have used the instances made available to them of islamic thuggery, and blown them to proper proportions of outrage. Then made a deterrent statement. That even in liberal societies, muslims will be turned into third class citizens, ever fearful for their lives and property if one native citizen is ever harmed. They should be domesticated, isolated from their ummah exterior to the host country and forcibly civilized by selective unfairness, racism, prejudice, what have you... until you are in a position to make demands of their culture. Then you must threaten to de-recognize islam as a valid religion, unless they cut out parts of their scriptures that imply supremacy and conquest by guerilla techniques. Anything less than what China does to them, is not even half-measures. |
