slamist Abu Imran on April 9 Demonstration in Paris: [...] "We are coming to say: Oh Sarkozy, enemy of Allah, dog of the Romans, son of the unbeliever, we are on our way [...] We are coming, with our nuclear bombs of 'Allah Akbar.' We are coming, with our black flags – the black flags of 'There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.'
"We are coming to take back what belongs to us, to regain our land and purify it of unbelief and of the unbelievers. We are coming with 'There is no god but Allah.' We are coming because we reject democracy. We do not accept democracy. We accept nothing but the tawhid of Allah. We accept nothing but: 'There is no god but Allah.' We accept nothing but the shari'a of Allah. "Just as we ruled many European lands, we are coming [...] By God, we are on our way. The day you will see the black flag flying over the Élysée us very near [...] I say to all my brothers and sisters in France: We are coming from Belgium to support you, with our group, Sharia4Belgium. We are coming to support you [...] May Allah accept their actions, and grant them a place in Paradise for their sacrifices and their activities, which aim to bring victory to this community [...] May Allah facilitate our path, and purify France of unbelief and the unbelievers. Allah willing, we will see you next week. Salaam Alyakum, and Allah's blessings upon you." […]

Coming to Londonistan Eurabia and USSA
"USSA" = United Socialist States of America Obama is hell bent on installing with his Marxist (Communist) and Moslem allies - based on his personal very non-American radical ideology.
As violent Islam entrenches and infiltrates British courts - and society - bullies non-Moslems to leave neighborhoods - this "picture" of Queen Elizabeth has done the rounds of the Persian diaspora in Europe.
BTW, it also depicts one of Oba-Hussein's primary dreams - to see this happen. He cannot stand Britain, which politically disrespected his father and the MauMau terrorists, banned his brother from visiting there on his way to the Oba-Hussein's inauguration and he has shown it in every way. Recently elevating France (ignoring history and reality) to being named as a stronger ally than Britain.
And he is clearly trying to make this entrenchment and infiltration take place and find deep roots in America with his policies, executive orders and choice of senior administration personnel.

France Steels Herself for Car Burning
Pathetic. Yes, let's all hide under our beds while Muslim youth set thousands of our cars ablaze. And let's stick our heads further up our sphincters and stop reporting the actual number of cars burned -- that way we can continue to pretend nothing is happening while the continent descends in chaos. There's a plan! That and the Euro-Med partnership that is flooding Europe with more Muslim immigrants.
Notice the sharia media -- no mention of Muslims or Islam anyhere. Good doggies.
France braces for annual New Year's car torchings Reuters
PARIS (Reuters) – France will deploy extra police and keep vandalism statistics under wraps on New Year's Eve to fight what authorities say has become an annual "sweepstakes" of disaffected [Muslim] youths competing to see who can burn the most cars.
Youths in depressed suburbs of French cities have been torching hundreds of vehicles on New Year's Eve and Bastille Day since the early 1990s. Police say the annual rite has turned competitive, with youths tracking the news in the first days of the new year to see which neighborhood did the most damage.
"I have decided to put an end to the competition, the sweepstakes, and will longer publish the number of burned vehicles," Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux said this week, adding that publishing statistics encouraged vandalism.
Opposition politicians described the move as an attempt by President Nicolas Sarkozy's conservative government to cover up the violence.
"The government tends to eliminate unfavorable indicators. The interior minister has been publishing trumped-up statistics for years, and now Hortefeux is going even further," Socialist deputy Delphine Batho, a security specialist, told Reuters.
Last year, the Interior Ministry said 1,137 cars had been torched, a 30 percent rise on 2008. French media reported at the time that several thousand cars had been burned.
Nearly 54,000 police officers will be deployed across France, a rise of some 6,000 compared to normal New Year's Eve staffing levels, and additional command posts set up in several cities, Hortefeux said on Friday.
The image of burning cars remains particularly evocative in France in the wake of urban riots in December 2005. Sarkozy came to power in 2007 promising to quell violence, but crime and vandalism have inched up in the past year.
Arson in France's "sensitive urban areas" rose by 17.2 percent between 2008 and 2009, according to a 2010 study by the Observatory of Sensitive Urban Zones. In 2009 a total of 12,874 cars were burned, it reported.

Demands for Religious Teaching Rise in French Schools
This is a strategy of the global jihad ..... to impose Islam on secular societies. In the culture war, the public school system is key.
Religious demands rise in French state schools - study Yahoo (hat tip Jon)
PARIS (Reuters) - Muslim pupils and parents in France are increasingly making religious demands on the state school system that teachers should rebuff by explaining the country's secular principles, according to an official report.
[...]
"It is becoming difficult for teachers to resist religious pressures," said the report, published in draft form by the newspaper Journal du Dimanche over the weekend. The final report will be presented to the government next month.
"We should now reaffirm secularism and train teachers how to deal with specific problems linked to the respect for this principle," it said.
France's strict separation of church and state relegates religion to the private sphere, an approach challenged by a growing Islamic identity among some of the five million Muslims in the country's 65 million population.
[...]
REFUSING CLASSES, DEMANDING HALAL
Teachers often faced objections when they taught courses about world religions, the Holocaust or France's war in Algeria, or discussed events related to Israel and the Palestinians or American military actions in Muslim countries, the study said.
"Teachers regularly find that Muslim parents refuse to have their children learn about Christianity," it said. "Some think it amounts to evangelisation."
"Anti-Semitism ... surfaces during courses about the Holocaust, such as inappropriate jokes and refusals to watch films" about Nazi concentration camps, it said. "Tensions often come from pupils who identify themselves as Muslims."
Teachers found they could discuss the trans-atlantic slave trade but met criticism from pupils when they brought up the history of slavery within Africa or in the Middle East.
Reflecting the promotion of anti-Darwinist thinking in Muslim countries, "evolution is challenged by pupils who posit divine or creationist action without any argument for it."
In some areas with large immigrant populations, many pupils shun school cafeterias for religious reasons, even though most offer alternative dishes when pork is on the menu.
"Demand for halal menus is strong, even for the very young in public crches," it said. "In some cities, there are petitions for halal -- and sometimes kosher -- meals."
[..]
PHILOSOPHICAL UPHEAVAL
During Ramadan, some Muslim pupils harass others who don't observe the annual daytime fast, it said. Boys who identify themselves as Muslims and reject French values harass girls who do well in class as "collaborators" with the "dirty French."
Some girls ask to be excused from gymnasium or pool sessions because they are not supposed to mix with boys, it added.
The report said French schools must insist on co-education, equal rights and mutual respect. "Being a French citizen means accepting challenges to one's opinions ... this is the price to pay for the freedom of opinion and expression.
"Must we recall that the crime of blasphemy has not existed in France since the French Revolution?" it asked.
"The principle of secularism leads to a profound relativisation of religion. This is a philosophical upheaval that religions only consent to with difficulty," it said.

France Warned: Terrorist Attack Imminent
Paris was "...monitoring a certain number of people who study at extremist Koranic institutes, monitoring people likely to return" to France.
It is morbidly amusing to witness the Saudis, responsible for the largest portion of the funding and spread of jihad in the West, warn France of an impending jihadist attack. They want their women in those cloth coffins! It must be the ban that gives France favored hate status in Islam this week.
If the Saudis wanted to help, they would close the tens of thousands of the mosques they built that preach hate, racism, and incitement to violence. If the Saudis really wanted to help, they would shut down ICNA and all those terror-funding "charities" that fund jihad. If the Saudis really wanted to help, perhaps they might let their women drive, for starters. Maybe allow non-Muslims into Mecca? Or stop lashing women for taking tea with someone other than a relative? Or drop the boycott against the Jews?
Don't get me started.
How the West got into the position of crawling into a fetal position until the next Islamic attack is one that will leave historians (depending upon who writes the history books) scratching their heads for centuries.
French minister: Saudis warn of new terror threat Yahoo News
PARIS (AFP) – Saudi security services warned several days ago about an Al-Qaeda threat to Europe and in particular France, French Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux said Sunday.
Several days ago European intelligence agencies received "a new message from the Saudi services which indicated that Al-Qaeda's branch on the Arabian Peninsula was possibly active or planned to be active" and was targeting "the European continent and in particular France", Hortefeux said in a radio and television interview.
"The threat is real and we remain alert," said the minister, adding that France's security threat level remains at one level below the highest level of scarlet.
The Saudi warning follows several warnings in the past weeks.
Hortefeux said on September 9 there was a warning from Interpol and then a week later a second warning of a possible attack by a female suicide bomber.
Western security officials have also warned that Al-Qaeda may be planning attacks in Europe similar to those that struck Mumbai in 2008.

11 Jihadis Arrested in France
I look forward to the Muslims taking to the streets to denounce jihad, fundamentalists and the war against the West (/sarc tag off)
French police arrest 11 people with suspected Islamic extremists links Rantburg (hat tip Armaros)
FRENCH anti-terror police tonight arrested 11 people suspected of links with Muslim extremists, it has emerged.
Eight men were detained in southern towns and cities of Marseille, Aubagne, Marignane and in Bordeaux on suspicion of trafficking firearms and explosives, news website 20.minutes.fr reported.
According to French news channel LCI, three others were arrested for membership of an extremist group and being part of a cell planning to supply shelter and fake ID papers to Jihadists attempting to return to France after undergoing training on the Afghan-Pakistan border.
The arrests followed the detention on Saturday of a 28-year-old Algerian man, wanted by French police, at a train station in Naples, southern Italy.

France Bans Muslim Veils
It's a band-aid, but clearly they are attempting to discourage immigration. If they are the only country with such a ban, the devout will go elsewhere.
Those who violate the ban will pay the reverse jiyza. That's what it is.
French Senate passes ban of full Muslim veils Yahoo hat tip Daved
PARIS – The French Senate has voted overwhelmingly for a bill banning the burqa-style Islamic veil everywhere from post offices to streets, in a final step toward a making it law.
The Senate voted 246 to 1 Tuesday in favor of the bill, which has already passed in the lower chamber, the National Assembly.
Any dissenters have 10 days to challenge the measure in the Constitutional Council watchdog, but that is considered unlikely.

Eiffel Tower Abandoned from Bomb Threat
Was this a response to the Muslim veil ban?
Eiffel Tower evacuated in bomb scare Herald Sun (hat tip Armaros)
FRENCH police evacuated the Eiffel Tower and the park surrounding the Paris landmark today after a bomb alert.
A police officer said about 25,000 people were in the area at the time of the scare but added that they left calmly shortly before 9pm local time.
The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the alert was sounded either after a threat was phoned in or following the discovery of a suspicious package.
The people evacuated, mostly French and foreign tourists, were asked to stay on the nearby Seine river banks, and the tower area and Champ de Mars park were also declared off limits.
The scare happened just hours after the French parliament passed a law prohibiting wearing a full-face veil in public, meaning a ban will come into force early next year if it is not overturned by senior judges.
The bill makes no mention of Islam, but President Nicolas Sarkozy's government promoted it as a means to protect women from being forced to wear Muslim full-face veils such as the burqa or the niqab.
There has not been any suggestion so far that the two events are linked, however.

Burqa Ban Debate Becomes Violent in France
Ni Putes Ni Soumises (NPNS – Neither Whores Nor Submissives), an international human rights organization that advocates on behalf of women’s rights as universal
Hostilities began almost immediately. The gulf that exists between the pro and anti-burqa ban camps could not have been more apparent. When the women’s rights activists and elected officials spoke, they spoke of the creation of a safe, egalitarian and secular public space in which all citizens enjoy equal rights and equal protection under the law. They spoke of women’s rights and the importance of ensuring gender equality and gender desegregation in a secular, democratic republic.
When the anti-burqa ban contingent spoke, they spoke only of Islam amid accusations of anti-immigrant racism. They defended the burqa as a tenet of Islam, as indicated in the Quran and supported by the Sunnah in the Hadith.
The secularists refused to address the tenets of Islam as wholly irrelevant. The Islamists interpreted this refusal as bigotry. The heated debate erupted in violence, which resulted in only minor injuries, but which provided further evidence of the utter incompatibility of democratic governance and religion. The police arrived. They detained the remaining participants for some time, but the perpetrators had already fled the scene.
Many persons expressed that their participation in the truncated debate had served to increase their support for the ban on identity obscuring face coverings in public in France.
Non-Muslims Forbidden to Enter 751 Areas in France
UPDATE: Revealing ..........Van Grungy has left this comment:France: Riots over killing of Muslim man
Cars burned, police shot at after authorities kill hold-up suspect near Grenoble Y Net News
Rioters burned cars, attacked a tramway and shot at police in the French city of Grenoble overnight in protest at the death of a local Muslim man, identified as 27-year- old Karim Boudouda, fleeing police after allegedly holding up the city's casino.
Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux was to travel to the southeastern city on Saturday to monitor events, his office said.
The violence began around midnight on Friday and lasted through the night in the poor suburban neighborhood of Villeneuve, home to the alleged robber.
[...]
Police said they intervened after local residents stopped a tramway by setting a fire on the rails and stoned it. At least 50 cars were burned and police said they were shot at once and returned fire. No casualties were reported.
The trouble followed a hold-up in a casino in nearby Uriage-les-Bains by two armed men in the early hours of Friday.
Police choppers join chase
Police said the duo fled with 20,000-40,000 euros and were chased by police. Police said the suspects opened fire, wounding an officer, and one of the suspected robbers was killed in the ensuing shooting.
The second man fled into Villeneuve, where police helicopters flew overhead for much of the night in a fruitless attempt to locate him.
The riot in Grenoble recalled civil unrest that exploded across France in late 2005 after two teenagers from a rough Parisian suburb died as they were fleeing police.
My name is Boutek Allouf from Algeria. I am one of this immigrantes in France that refuse to accept the style and corrupted way of living of Western World. I like my culture, my religion, my way of seeing the world. Islam is right. Europe is wrong. They same way you invaded Africa, South America, Asia, now is your turn to have us inside you. That´s the price you have to pay. I hate your hipocrisy of saying that you live in a free society, but we´ll use this as a tool to reach our means. You can not stop the flux of History. We´ll retake what is ours with the help of God.

UPDATE: Jew Lover in the comment section points out:
It looks like the French government may have to update their official websites to include more than the following:
French in France can't go to 751 areas designated Muslim-Only areas
Note: The French are kind enough to list the areas, as well as provide detailed maps, of where non-muslims musn't go in France.

UPDATE: The police were fired on by automatic gunfire, a fact that strangely was only reported on by al jazeera.

Busted Burqa Woman, Polygamous Husband, 3 other Wives 12 Chil on Welfare
From French reader Kate (google translation): Atlas Shrugs
Hello Pamela and friends, in fact the case even stronger stimulus debate on the burka with us! Nicolas Sarkozy said he wanted a law on the burka and the French Total approve! (We must not forget that Barack Obama has said about it here, that people should be free to dress as they want) but, Nicolas Sarkozy will not be the dog of Barack 0bama. In addition, after investigating the veiled woman, it turned out it was one of four women who have 12 children of her husband, Algerian naturalized by marriage, which is part a radical Islamic group! They have defrauded them by saying they were "single mothers" to reach more benefits! So the husband will be prosecuted for fraud, bigamy, and Mr Hortefeux asked whether stripped of his French nationality, I hope it will, it will make some noise! Those people we poison our lives and it is important not to show low be with them! is a gangrene that must be quickly eradicated if the world will be lost!

Brain Dead Trade Debate
Robert Borosage, Tom Paine
April 9th, 2008
High gasoline prices, mortgage foreclosures, turmoil in financial markets, and a war in Iraq that is ever more costly in money and lives. So the President of the United States steps up to the crisis and demands a fast-track vote from the Congress in 90 days on … a trade agreement with Colombia. It's an insulting debate taking place as if we were still living in Ronald Reagan's “morning in America.”
BILL SCHER
Would You Close Your School To Pay For Iraq?
When Gen. David Petraeus testifies today about the status of the Iraq occupation, I'll be thinking about my neighborhood elementary school, which may have to close while we continue to waste billions on a failed foreign policy.
ROBERT BOROSAGE
It's not the French; it's US Our McCain ad struck a chord, eliciting both reason and vitriol. It strikes me that it is worth being clear what the ad says and doesn't say. Other than the bad French accent, it isn't anti-French, xenophobic or "racist." It doesn't accuse the French of taking jobs from us. It features a Frenchman hailing Sen. John McCain for bringing jobs to France. There is a fundamental difference.
