Napoleon died long ago!
Clearly, France is sliding into civil war. Last night saw mayhem all across France in the twelfth night of extreme violence. The best the French cabinet can come up with is the approval of the introduction of curfews, if the local authorities deem curfews necessary. The local authority can now declare a state of emergency, too. Can mark you! Wow! How Draconian these measures are! Further, Dominic de Villepin even went so far as to say that the government would take the necessary measures to re-establish order very quickly throughout France! Monsieur, you'll have to come up with a hell of lot more than this if you want La Belle France to survive!
A state of emergency should be declared across the whole of France - now, since the riots now stretch from North to South and from East to West. The country is in the grip of a civil war. Things are spiralling out of control. Where is the heavy hand of strong government? Where has that Napoleonic spirit disappeared to? Where is that French pride and determination to save the nation? Where is all that intellectuality - you know, what the French have always prided themselves on - to be able to think this thing through?
That this is an extremely grave situation is obvious to all. Now, there have been copycat outbreaks of violence in Belgium (5 cars have been set alight around the Gare du Midi, where Eurostar terminates) and Germany (5 cars have been destroyed in Berlin; six, in Bremen). Recent tensions in the Netherlands, after the murder of Theo van Gogh, will not help to make that country immune from the ire of the Muslim community, either. All this, and not a strong leader in sight!
Here in the United Kingdom we have a lame duck Prime Minister. Chirac in France is no better, especially since the vote on the European constitution, the USA has a President who has yet to convince me that he knows what Islam is all about and who is showing himself to be more of a little pussy at heart rather than that strong, assertive leader he seems to so wish to be!
I wouldn't give you a dime for the damn lot of them! They all want the power, the money and the glory that goes with high office, but none - I repeat, none - has the stomach to take the necessary measures to deal with the Islamization of the West. Islam is growing apace, growing in the West like a cancer in the stage of metastasis: it is metastasizing here and metastasizing there. And the West is in a feeble state, in a state of cachexia, with not a good surgeon for thousands of miles around!
The editor of The Telegraph this morning states that it would be tempting to draw historical comparisons with the events in France in May 1968 and with the revolutions of 1848, but adds that the events are distinguished more by their differences than their similarities. The reason, he states thus: The rioting in France this autumn has no clear political aim beyond an expression of disgust with the government and, in particular, the interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy. Really! He needs to think again! These riots are indeed politically motivated - motivated by the politics of Islam!
It beggars belief that educated men in the know have yet to get a grip on the reality of what is happening in Europe today. These riots are but the first salvo shot across the bow of Europe! There is evidence aplenty of the intentions of the Islamic communities to turn Europe into Eurabia.
Three books come to mind as I write this: Eurabia, by Bat Ye'or, who describes extremely well, and in erudite fashion, what is going on here; The Rage and the Pride by Oriana Fallaci - another excellent book, and pertinent, because we see the rage of the Muslim communities of France, and the pride they have in feeling superior to the indigenous, infidel population; and, if I might suggest my own book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age, which is exactly what will come about if the force of darkness that is Islam overcomes the force of enlightenment that is the West.
We need to ensure that our powder kegs are dry for the long and arduous battles ahead. This conflagration has all the makings of dragging the world into war. This is why it is so necessary to take tough measures to stop the rot NOW! This is no time for mealy-mouthedness, no time for political correctness, no time for multiculturalism, and certainly no time to be thinking of bringing Turkey into the heart of Europe!
We need to roll back the frontiers. We need to drop the iron veil, the veil of which I wrote in my book. We need to stem the flow of immigrants into Europe, that means to say we must put an end to the crescades,the waves of Muslim immigrants which have been allowed to enter Europe over the past decades, without even a serious attempt to stem the flow.
This is a battle for the soul of Europe. A battle which must be won if we are to secure our civilization. Make no mistake about it: What is going on in France right now will impact on us all: the UK, the US, all of Europe, and even Australia and beyond. This is the clash of civilizations of which Samuel P Huntington wrote, and it will be the re-making of the world order if we fail to act decisively. There is no time to waste. Our task is clear: We need to re-assert our authority in our own lands, and win back control. For now, France needs its Napoleon. Stand up! Your country needs YOU!

Europe is going down--France first. Can Europe save itself?
These riots are indeed politically motivated - motivated by the politics of Islam!
Denial is deadly!
I'm going to take the liberty of copying and pasting this entire article to my site (if I can get Blogger to cooperate, that is). Hope you don't mind, Mark!
Mark, Andre Servier, the French scholar of Islam at the turn of the last century, warned France of the threat of Islam. His book Islam and the Pschology (Mind) of the Musulman is as timely today as it was 83 years ago.
It is now onine in full at
MusulmanBook
Published in French only once in 1922, and translated to English in 1924, it is out of copyright, and would never be published again. Too politically incorrect.
Hopefully I will have the original French version up on the web within a month.
The French need to read this book and I want to help them gain access to it.

"It beggars belief that educated men in the know have yet to get a grip on the reality of what is happening in Europe today. These riots are but the first salvo shot across the bow of Europe! There is evidence aplenty of the intentions of the Islamic communities to turn Europe into Eurabia."
It certainly is mind-boggling isn't it? Mark Steyn has a satiric spin on exactly what you've said:
"The political class and the media seem to serve as mutual reinforcers of their obsolete illusions. Or as the Washington Post's headline put it: "Rage of French youth is a fight for recognition".
Actually, they're very easy to "recognise": just look out the window, they're the ones torching your Renault 5. I'd wager the "French" "youth" find that headline as hilarious as the Jets in West Side Story half a century ago, when they taunted Officer Krupke with "society's" attempts to "understand" them: we're depraved on account of we're deprived. Perhaps some enterprising Paris impresario will mount a production of West Eid Story with choreographed gangs of North African Muslims sashaying through the Place de la Republique, incinerating as they go."
Early skirmish in the Eurabian civil war
Mark, Thank you so much for creating this splendid blogsite and thank you even more for the insightful and articulate posts you put up each day. They help us understand the forces that are at work in the western world intent upon destroying everything that is good and noble and uplifting about the West. It is tragic to see that those who have contributed nothing to the advance of science, technology, medicine, art, literature, or music in the last twelve centuries feel that they must destroy the peoples and cultures who have contributed so much. Without a doubt, this is the greatest example of "sour grapes" in the recorded history of humankind.
It looks like Belgium will go next.
They had to nights of car burning now.
"Clearly, France is sliding into civil war."
It gives me no pleasure to say this: What I have feared is actually coming to pass. My stomach is in knots, and our leaders--Do we have any leaders who understand the significance of what is happening?
Perhaps I should have designated myself "Cassandra" instead of "The Truth Teller"!
Are we seeing the beginning of the end of Western civilization? I know that I sound pessmistic, but I don't have much hope right now.
usiconoclasticpatriot:
Thank you so much for your high compliment.
Felis:
As you rightly say, Belgium might well be next to go up in flames. Western European nations have been far, far to complacent about the developing storm. This has been coming for a long, long time; and nothing has been done about it. The politicians have been too busy feathering their own nests to look around them to see what's happening.
TruthTeller:
I, like you, have seen this coming for years. It was so obvious to any thinking person. You are so obviously a thinking person.
Bill:
It is hard to see how our beloved Western civilization can be held together with current policies. There's too much money being made somewhere at the top to care for it.
becca:
Can't you see what's happening here?
Bill:
It's hard to believe that there are still people out there who refuse to see the situation for what it truly is. Well-intentioned they may well be, but they totally miss the point!
Excellent comment, Bill. Truly excellent!
Bill: I honestly believe they are not all Muslim. Despite your comments nobody has challenged this. Independent media sources confirm this fact. That's not 'media hype' in my view.
Bill: This is not about welfare or lack of money. This is about wider social issues, lack of good education, lack of job opportunities, lack of interest in their communities. You're right, it's not about money, it's about people, humans and their needs.
The problem as I see it is that you all seem to see this as a war between the 'civilised' west and the 'uncivilised' Muslims. The 'enemy'of Islam is made up of people who you see as barely human. When you treat a group of people as sub-human how do expect to get anywhere?
Mark: Yes, I can see what's going on here, people are using one problem (riots) to focus attention on another issue (irrational fear of Islam).
By the way, I really appreciate the fact that you are at least focusing on attacking my arguments rather than me personally.
Powerful stuff, Bill! I hope Becca keeps an open mind and reads all about it. It's difficult for people, though, since all the media are pumping out all this garbage about how 'wonderful' Islam is supposed to be!
It's enough to make one want to vomit!
I guess all we can hope for is to win people over, one at a time. But it's a long arduous job, Bill!
Mark: You think I am seeing things thorugh rose-tinted specs and I think you are simplifying a complex issue. It cannot be about 'us' and 'them' if 'they' includes all Muslims. The extremists involved in terrorism are a far cry from ordinary Muslims.
Why must one civilisation 'win' anyway? The basis is that we're all human, and we can coexist peacefully if we stop all this unhelpful fighting talk which only confirms prejudices and encourages a circle of hate.
Bill: Your links link to extremist sites, sites with a prejudiced point to make. You yourself ask if we cannot talk as civilised people what good are we to society? These sites paint a very one-sided view. I don't want to write an essay in the comments section but I could go on...
I think religion is used by religious extremists to suck in people who feel alienated by society. This is what happened with the UK bombers in July, this is what's continuing to happen because people are polarising the issue.
You think you have 'seen the light' and now know the 'truth' about Islam, whereas I think you have been pursuaded by other people to give in to prejudice as a result of irrational fear.
I did not call you a racist. I said people who share these anti-Muslim sentiments are using prejudice to treat people of one religion as extremists.
Mark: I do keep an open mind, and I am continuously learning. Not all the media continually declares how wonderful Islam is, at least not in my part of the world. extremists are extremists. Muslims incluide people of many beliefs on various issues.
Bill: The US media may not have reported the riots until the ninth day but there are plenty of European newspapers which did. Especially the French media.
Becca:
I am going to make this as short as possible, because I am extremely busy right now, and in any case I do not wish to have much dialogue with you for it would be fruitless. Your mind is already made up, and you come to this from a very different standpoint - an altogether far less enlightened one, if you don't mind my saying.
It seems that you are 24 years old. That means to say that you have little life experience yet. I am considerably older than you; and considerably more experienced that you are, too.
You say:
It cannot be about 'us' and 'them' if 'they' includes all Muslims. The extremists involved in terrorism are a far cry from ordinary Muslims.
This statement shows me in no uncertain terms that you do not have a clue about the nature of Islam! You say that the extremists involved in terrorism are a far cry from ordinary Muslims: Really, Becca; and how would you know that? Or is that just something you've heard liberals and academics say while working with refugees, as you do, in "intercultural learning"?
Forgive me for saying it, but, from my experience, people working in charities always seem to have similar political viewpoints: left-leaning liberal ones!
Why must one civilisation 'win' anyway? The basis is that we're all human, and we can coexist peacefully if we stop all this unhelpful fighting talk which only confirms prejudices and encourages a circle of hate.
The mere fact that you ask this question (about why one civilization must win anyway) shows me that you do not understand the nature of civilizations - how they rise; how they fall; and it also shows me that you are living in dreamland! You come over as being very young; otherwise you wouldn't ask these questions. Further, delve into some history books: The history of the world is replete with examples which will answer your question!
On your weblog, BeccaSteel you posted the following in response to AlwaysOnWatch, and this weblog: The point I was making is that I have more respect for arguments based on fact than those based on prejudice or hate.
If you have "more respect" for arguments based on fact then I suggest you start reading about islam. It is the burning issue of our time. Moreover, I do hope that you do not classify what I say as "hate" since hate has absolutely nothing to do with it. I am not prejudice, either.
For your information, what I write is based on years and years (at least twenty-three) of experience with Muslims, and on years and years (about the same number of years) of research! It is certainly not based on prejudice. And whilst talking about 'prejudice', there are none worse than Muslims for being prejudiced! They are programmed to view the world in two parts: Dar al Islam, the House of Peace, and Dar al Harb, or the House of War. All infidels, by definition, live in the House of War in a state known as Jahiliyyah, otherwise known as a pre-Islamic state of chaos! Further, all infidels are considered inferior, and must be brought into the House of Peace (by conversion), killed or slain, or subdued and subjected to a high, crippling tax called the jiziyah! in return for the privilege of living in this subdued state!
I should like to say that I have forgotten about Islam more than many will ever learn. You, if I may say, have a hell of a lot to learn before you will be able to teach me anything about this religion!
Furthermore, I object to your categorizing my weblog as anti-Muslim, for in categorizing it this way, you are doing it a great injustice.
I try to maintain very high standards of both writing and integrity on my weblog. I realize that its content will not please everyone; but to do that would hardly be possible anyway. We canot please all people all of the time. Would that we could!
This is what you wrote about my weblog and some others:
What the anti-Muslim blogs are saying
Having a look at blogs this morning (sic) I was shocked by the strong anti-Muslim sentiment these French riots are helping to support and inflame in certain people, particularly on the other side of the pond.
I'm all for healthy debate (sic) but there are plenty of people out there who seem to be relying on prejudice and stereotype to support their views. I wonder how many Muslims these people know, (sic) personally.
If you want to see for yourself, start here and here. They link to other blogs with similar views. You'll soon get the picture. posted by Becca
Becca, I have known, and lived in close quarters with, many, many Muslims in my life, and have taught hundreds and hundreds of Muslim adults. Fear not! I am not basing my writing on prejudice. But more importantly, you have totally missed the point of my weblog. My weblog is not anti-Muslim; rather it is pro-Western civilization, and it is based on the firm belief that we will indeed become unenlightened as people if we allow Islam to grow so much that it will take over. That is the New Dark Ageabout which I write with firm conviction.
You see, Becca, regardless of what you think, Islam closes all healthy debate and inquiry: all truth must be based on Islam, or at least must not contradict it. Why do you think that nothing of much value in terms of science and culture and art, etc, has come out of the Muslim world in more than 500 hundred years? Do you think that this is a co-incidence? I'll have none of it!
So please, my friend, think of me and my weblog as one serving to remind people of the blessings of Western culture and Western civilization. It also serves to bring to people's attention the dangers of the growth of Islam in the West.
I view these as worthy objectives. Don't you?
PS: Don't think of this as being an ad hominem attack; rather think of it as giving you some home truths.
Brilliant, Bill! Brilliant!
Ok gentlemen, it's been fun, but I see this is degenerating into a mud-slinging contest and that's not why I commented here.
I wanted your views, not your 'home truths' about how young and inexperienced I am. What a cop out. You don't know which countries I've lived in, which people I've met, which languages I speak, what I've read, what I studied, my background, anything.
Your personal attacks draw strength away from your argument. Very disappointing.
I've studied Islam, I know Muslims. I know this is an ongoing process and I will continue learning, just as all people should continue learning, whether you are a 10 year old, a 25 year old, a 40 year old or older, thinking you have all the answers already.
Reminding people of the worth of western culture and western civilisation could be considered a worthy objective, yes. But not at the expense of other cultures, not when you glorify something that, let's face it, has its own bloody past and extremists.
Calling me a left-leaning liberal isn't an insult to me, just as calling you far right Islamophobes probably wouldn't be an insult to you.
I will keep an open mind and hope you do not hate for the rest of your lives.
Becca:
This, as far as I am concerned, is not a mud-slinging contest at all. If it is, then you've slung a little mud yourself, too!
Good, honest academic debate over a hot topic sometimes requires robust talk; otherwise, one gets nowhere. Where would you get in the debating chamber of any good parliament if you cannot stand the heat? If your arguments are good ones, they will stand up to the discussion; if not, they won't. It's as simple as that.
As my mother was wont to say to me when I was growing up: Come, and face the music!
I was once your age, and equally misty-eyed. I had ever such idealistic ideas about how wonderful the world should, and would one day, be! It's funny how the years tends to make one see things more realistically, isn't it?
How well you put that, Bill! I wonder if Becca will return to read it, though? We'll see.
