The Fruit Of Open Borders, Social Justice, And Anti-Zionism: The Horrifying Scenes Unfolding In France Were Entirely Predictable

France’s bloated welfare state, stagnant economy, and ideological hostility to assimilation have created enclaves of immigrants who, at best, do not feel they have any stake in French society; and at worst, are actively hostile to France and to Western civilization writ large. This has proven to be fertile ground for Islamists seeking to foment hostility to the French state, who have made common cause with the Left-wing radicals exacerbating these riots. And of course, the Islamists and antisemites who have deployed the atrocities of October 7 as a recruiting tool are using the so-called “protests” as an excuse for the premeditated destruction of synagogues and Jewish businesses.

The Original Marxist-Islamist Test: The Ideological Engine Behind The Iranian Revolution Is Setting Europe On Fire

Although the name Ali Shariati would not be familiar to most people, he was in many ways the ideological architect of the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran. Shariati was born in Iran but studied in Paris during the 1960s. It was during this time in a Western institution that Shariati developed a new theoretical approach to the combination of Marxism, existentialism (the philosophical belief we are each responsible for creating purpose or meaning in our own lives) and Islam. Though he did not live to see the 1979 Revolution (he died in 1977), his writings mobilized a generation of revolutionaries.

Mr. Mélenchon knows that he will never become the French Président. All he wants is chaos, and more chaos, across all of France.

This is a vitally important case for Christian freedoms. The case now rests on whether employers are entitled to subject Christians to additional vetting because of their Christian beliefs. Should an employer discover that you are a Christian, is the employer entitled to require an additional interview, demand assurances from you about your beliefs, or even refuse you employment because of your Christian beliefs? This, then, is really about whether employers can discriminate against you because of your Christian beliefs. Requiring an extra interview, or extra assurances, is discriminatory after all. Arguing that people may be at risk of suicide if they find out you are a Christian is a whole other level of discriminatory thinking. It amounts to claiming that Christian belief is a dangerous thought crime.

The law is currently being discussed in the Norwegian Parliament. Even if it doesn't pass right now, it is a symptom of a much bigger problem; Jews and those supporting them are slowly being outlawed. If passed, that law would give Norway the right to incarcerate people for up to three years. When I first heard of that, I got very concerned.
