Marine Le Pen says Sarkozy’s ‘crackdown’ on Muslim terrorists is a pre-election stunt

Marine Le Pen, the National Front candidate for the French presidential election, accused rival President Nicolas Sarkozy of electoral agitation from his sudden decision to arrest a handful of known Muslim terrorists on French soil, following the slaughter of seven people by Muslim terrorist, Mohamed Merah, who was killed by French police last month.

JPOST  Merah, an Algerian born in France who was killed after the 30-hour standoff outside his home, murdered seven people in three separate terror attacks last month, including a rabbi and three Jewish children.

Le Pen was speaking at a press conference with foreign journalists in her campaign headquarters at Nanterre, west of Paris. She lamented to representatives of newspapers from around the world that “we no longer speak at all of the crisis, [but] of electoral fables.”

Responding to a question from The Jerusalem Post, following the surprising absence of mentions in electoral debates of the shootings in the southern French town of Toulouse, Le Pen criticized Sarkozy, calling his crackdown on Islamists “merely electoral agitation after the Merah affair.”

“A few arrested Islamists and that is all… [Sarkozy] is not dealing with the real problem of fundamentalism, although he has been in charge of national security for the past 10 years.”

For Le Pen, Sarkozy, like his predecessors, “deliberately downplayed the threat from Islamists who want to see France as we know it disappear in favor of Shari’a.”

Muslims arrogantly ignore the burqa ban imposed by France

Going further, she accused her main rival for the voice of the right wing to have even “opened the door to the UOIF (militant Muslim organization in France) who called for the murder of Jews.” “He provided the first steps to the ladder for the fundamentalists in France and internationally,” she said.

The right wing candidate also deplored the European intervention in Libya last year, at the initiative of France, which helped dethrone former leader Muammar Gaddafi.

Muslims also ignore the street prayer ban imposed by France

“In Libya, we gave the power to jihadists who have established Shari’a law within a few hours,” she said.

“A convinced euroskeptic,” and “sworn enemy of the euro as a single currency,” Le Pen criticized Sarkozy as one of those “those who sell us the idea that the euro zone would be a doublelocked prison with no key.”

If elected, Le Pen said she plans to close the door of her country not only to globalization but also – and especially – to mass immigration.

“I will cancel the regularization of illegal immigrants and I will reduce the number of visas to 10,000 a year to accommodate artists, sportsmen and research talent, instead of the 203,000 allocated each year,” she said.

AFGHANISTAN: FOUR U.S. Soldiers killed in suicide bomb attack that killed ten

Locals had warned the troops not to go sightseeing in the Afghanistan Park where a bomber walked up to them, screamed “Allah Akbar” and blew himself, the soldiers, and six other Afghans to smithereens.

UK DAILY MAIL  Body parts were strewn around the gate and on the ground, and blood was spattered everywhere. Faryab is relatively calm, but considered to be a stronghold of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, or IMU, an Al Qaeda affiliated group most active in the northern provinces of Afghanistan.

Militants have also stepped up their attacks against international and Afghan troops nationwide in recent weeks. Nine Afghan policemen were killed and 11 abducted across the nation in the past three days.  Militants have also stepped up their attacks against international and Afghan troops nationwide in recent weeks. Nine Afghan policemen were killed and 11 abducted across the nation in the past three days.

Dutch MP Barry Madlener says, “We’d have to be crazy to allow Turkey into the EU”

Message to Turkey in reference to your request for membership in the EU: Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn’t look good, either. How about never? Is never soon enough?

NEWS AM  In an interview with Hurriyet daily of Turkey, Dutch MP Barry Madlener, who attended an international conference in Istanbul, yet again stressed that Turkey has no place in the European Union.

He noted that Turkey is a Muslim country, and many Dutch do not feel safe because of the thousands of Muslims living in the Netherlands. He added that the immigrants have contributed to the escalation of crime in the country.   

In Barry Madlener’s words, Turkey is not a democratic country, since the criticizing of Islam is banned and journalists are arrested there. “We must be crazy to want for Turkey to enter the European Union,” the Dutch MP concluded.

EGYPT: Most popular candidates running for President are also the most radical

Crowds turned out to cheer on Egyptian radical Islamist, ultra-conservative Sheikh Hazem Abu Ismail who is a proponent of Saudi-style strict sharia rule.

For the past 20 years, this Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate has been sitting in jail. Now, Egyptian military judges dropped all convictions against  Khairat el-Shater, clearing the nominee of the nation’s dominant political party to run in the election.

Business Week  The Brotherhood said March 31 that el-Shater was its candidate for the presidential election that begins May 23 and May 24, making him one of the favorites to win and potentially increasing tensions between the once-banned group and the generals who currently rule the nation. The Brotherhood, whose Freedom and Justice Party alliance holds 47 percent of the seats in parliament’s lower house, had previously said it wasn’t planning to run a candidate for the presidency.

Former CAIR official who was deported from the U.S. and now is an Egyptian Presidential Candidate, pledges to “Complete The Implementation of Islamic (sharia) Law In Egypt”

(MEMRI) via  Weasel Zippers— Following are excerpts from Egyptian presidential candidate Bassem Khafaji, which aired on Al-Nas TV on March 7, 2012:

“We Egyptians — both Muslims and non-Muslims — refer to the shari’a in many things. I often ask people: How did you get married? Wasn’t it according to the shari’a, regardless of whether you are Muslim or not? Weren’t you married in accordance with your religion? When somebody in our family dies, how we inherit him? Not in accordance with the shari’a?

No [candidate] should say that he is coming to implement the shari’a, because part of it has already been implemented. What the Egyptian people want is to complete this implementation. As president, I will personally assist in the completion of the correct implementation of the shari’a, by consulting the experts [in Islamic law].”

It bears worth mentioning that Khafagi was deported from the US in 2003 after pleading guilty to immigration and bank fraud charges. At the time, he was community affairs director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), as the Washington Times noted following his guilty plea.

Was French Muslim killer, Mohammed Merah, a double agent also working for French Intelligence Services?

Following the shootings of seven people in southwestern France, authorities have insisted that gunman Mohammed Merah acted alone. But a reporter with Italian newspaper Il Foglio is citing an anonymous source that Merah was both an Islamic religious extremist and a spy for French intelligence.

How was Merah, who was on welfare, able to arrange his 2010 trip across Israel, Jordan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and possibly elsewhere? Il Foglio’s source claims that French authorities had struck a deal with Merah: freedom of movement in exchange for valuable information.  

Prior to the shootings, France’s domestic spy agency says they had followed Merah for more than a year. They had been tracking his brother, now in custody, since 2007. Speculation is that it took France more than 10 days to track him down because because France thought he was only working for them.

France’s domestic spy chief increased speculation by saying that during the 32-hour siege Merah asked for a local intelligence officer by name, and that he told her, “I was going to call you to say I had some tip-offs for you, but actually I was going to [kill] you.” This admission has many wondering just how much contact Merah had with France’s security agencies. LeakSource

Muslim terrorists set off bombs in southern Thailand, killing 14, wounding 341

Suspected Muslim insurgents staged the most deadly coordinated attacks in years in Thailand’s restive south, killing 14 people and wounding 340 with car bombs that targeted shoppers and a high-rise hotel frequented by foreign tourists.

More than 5,000 people have been killed BY MUSLIMS in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces, Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala, since Islamist insurgency began in January 2004.

Washington Post    A first batch of explosives planted inside a parked pickup truck ripped through an area of restaurants and shops in a busy area of Yala city, a main commercial hub of Thailand’s restive southern provinces, said district police chief Col. Kritsada Kaewchandee. About 20 minutes later, just as onlookers gathered at the blast site, a second car bomb exploded, causing the majority of casualties. Eleven people were killed and 110 wounded by the blasts.

“This is the worst attack in the past few years,” said Col. Pramote Promin, deputy spokesman of a regional security agency. “The suspected insurgents were targeting people’s lives. They (chose) a bustling commercial area, so they wanted to harm people.”

Most attacks are small-scale bombings or drive-by shootings that target soldiers, police and symbols of authority, but suspected insurgents have also staged large attacks in commercial areas.

Separately, a blast occurred at a high-rise hotel in the city of Hat Yai, in the nearby province of Songkhla, that officials initially attributed to a gas leak and said was unrelated to the attacks blamed on insurgents.  The midday explosion at the 405-room Lee Gardens Plaza Hotel killed three people and caused about 230 injuries, mostly from smoke inhalation, said police Lt. Puwadon Wiriyawarangkun.But after inspecting the hotel’s underground parking lot, authorities found a severely damaged sedan and a hole created by the explosion’s impact. Regional police chief Lt. Gen. Jakthip Chaijinda said the Hat Yai incident “is likely related to what happened in Yala and might have been plotted by the same group of insurgents.”

Police said the blast that occurred at the underground level of the hotel had ripped the building’s cooking gas pipeline, causing a fire that sent smoke spiraling into the upper floors and trapping many people in their rooms until rescuers came. One of the fatalities was identified as a Malaysian tourist.

In Saturday’s third incident, suspected Muslim militants detonated a motorcycle bomb 50 meters (55 yards) away from a local police station in Pattani province’s Mae Lan district, wounding one police officer, according to police Col. Tharet Kaewla-eiad.

The Yala bombings occurred on a road that was previously heavily guarded by checkpoints and closed to traffic to ensure safety. But the security was lifted in 2011 after local vendors said the measures harmed their businesses.

In October last year, suspected Islamic militants staged coordinated attacks at more than 30 spots across Yala city, killing three people and injuring more than 50. A month earlier, a trio of bombs hidden in vehicles hit a busy section of Sungai Kolok in Narathiwat province, killing four people and leaving more than 60 wounded.

Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani are the only Muslim-dominated provinces in the predominantly Buddhist country. Muslims in the area have long complained of discrimination by the central government.

ALGERIA refuses to bury the French-Algerian Muslim killer of seven in Toulouse

French-Algerian killer, Mohamed Merah, was buried in Toulouse on Thursday after a row between Algeria and the southwestern French city where he gunned down four Jews (as well as three paratroopers), over who should accept his body.

UK TELEGRAPH (H/T Susan K)  The father of the self-styled al-Qaeda gunman, who had dual nationality, had asked for his body to be buried in the family village of Bezzaz in Algeria, while his mother said she feared his grave would be “vandalised” in France.

Mohamed Benallal Merah of Algeria, the father, was estranged from his son but wanted him buried in Algeria

Less than two hours before the funeral in the Muslim section of Toulouse’s Cornebarrieu cemetery, Pierre Cohen, the Socialist mayor of Toulouse, where emotions are running high after the murders, announced that burial within the city was “inappropriate.” Mr Zekri responded that the mayor had “no right to refuse to bury him,” threatening to file a legal complaint with the administrative courts.

AUSTRIA: Guess who’s setting fires to Christian landmarks in Vienna?

Neustadt Cathedral

That’s right, Muslims. Turkish Muslims.

Islam vs Europe For much of this year, Vienna has been obsessed with a prolific arsonist known as the FeuerTeufel (Fire Devil). Now the indications are that this Fire Devil is in fact two Fire Devils – and they are Turks. 

The Turkish Fire Devils were spotted by several people on their last escapade: setting fire to the laying-in hall next to the cemetery in Josefstadt. All the eye-witnesses agree that the perpetrators were Turks.

One of the arsonists’ previous targets was Neustadt Cathedral, shown burning in the images. From the choice of a cemetery and a cathedral, it is reasonable to conclude that these Turks had jihad-style, anti-infidel motivations.

Another of their targets – one that they set fire to an astonishing eight times – is known as the WBO Siedlung. This is just a housing estate with some blocks of flats on it, containing 1000 residents in total. Why did the Turkish fire devils  single it out for such special attention? Perhaps it’s one of the few remaining indigenous enclaves in the increasingly islamised Vienna? Could the arson campaign be like the burglary campaign in Copenhagen, where the Muslims were trying to drive out the last remaining non-Muslims?

MUSLIM KILLER’S father to sue France over the killing of his mass murdering son

ALGIERS — The IslamoFascist gunman whose murder spree shocked France will be buried in his ancestral homeland Algeria, says his father, adding that he plans to sue France over his son’s death.

National Post (H/T Martin)  “[God willing], I have decided to bury my son in Algeria,” Mohamed Benalel Merah said, referring to his son Mohamed Merah, 23, who was shot dead by French police on Thursday in Toulouse at the end of a stand-off after his shooting attacks that killed seven. “Mohamed has an Algerian passport and has been listed with the [Algerian] consulate in Toulouse since his birth,” the elder Merah said.

He also hit out against France for having shot his son instead of taking him alive at the end of a 32-hour siege at his apartment in Toulouse. “France is a big country that had the means to take my son alive. They could have knocked him out with gas and taken him in,” he said. “They preferred to kill him.”

“I will hire the biggest named lawyers and work for the rest of my life to pay (their) costs. I will sue France for having killing my son.”

They wanted to enhance the Jew-killer’s good image and blasted the media for depicting him as a ‘monster.’

French MUSLIM killer’s brother, arrested for complicity, says he is very proud of his brother’s massacre of seven

The brother of Toulouse gunman Mohammed Merah appeared before an anti-terrorist judge today and was formally charged with ‘complicity in murder.’ Meanwhile the fall-out from last week’s massascre has led to an escalation in religious tension, with Jewish graves being desecrated across France.

UK DAILY MAIL  Riot police have also been called to housing estates on the outskirts of major cities like Paris because of anti-Semitic demonstrations being held in support of the 23-year-old killer.

Abdelkader Merah, the 29-year-old brother of Mohammed, appeared in court today after allegations that he was close to a Jewish school last Monday when his 23-year-old sibling gunned down a Rabbi, his two children, and a teenage pupil. He is also believed to have assisted his brother in an attack on French paratroopers, which saw three shot dead.

Abdelkade Merah, Muslim killer's brother being arrested

In a statement read out soon afterwards, the Paris Prosecutor’s Office said: ‘The investigations being handled by the police have established the existence of serious evidence against Abdelkader Merah corroborating, or making plausible, his participation as an accomplice in the commission of crimes in connection with a terrorist enterprise.’

Adbelkader has already told police interrogators that he was ‘very proud’ of what Merah did, and admitted to dining with him just before the attack on the Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse. ‘Signals from Abdelkader’s mobile phone were emitted close to the school at the time of the murders,’ said an investigating source.

Among numerous questions Abedelkader is facing is how Merah got hold of an arsenal of weapons, including an Uzi sub-machine gun, and even the kind of Sten gun used by British soldiers during the Second World War. It is also believed that Abdekkader also helped his brother buy the Yamaha T-Max motorbike used in all the attacks, and to respray the vehicle and remove its tracking device.

Meanwhile, new video footage released by police shows the inside of the Toulouse apartment where Mohammed Merah had his last stand. The chaotic flat is cluttered with furniture strewn across each room blocking the way, and one wall is peppered in what looks like bullet holes.

Merah is being held up as an martyr in some quarters, with Jewish cemeteries targeted in attacks which police are linking to the Merah atrocities.  On Thursday night Stars of David – a symbol of Judaism – were torn off some 30 graves in the eastern Jewish cemetery in the Mediterranean city of Nice.

Lanterns were also stolen from more than 20 sealed tombs in the same cemetery, with local police commissioner Hergot Nicolas saying all were targeted ‘because they are Jewish, while Christian graves nearby were ignored.’ David Shoushana, the chief rabbi in Nice, said there had been similar attacks on other cemeteries since Merah was shot dead on Thursday, adding that there was a ‘possible connection with the Toulouse killings.’

Also on Thursday, graffiti including ‘Long Live Merah’ and ‘Vengeance!’ appeared on a prominent wall in the Paris suburb of Sartrouville as youths gathered to ‘honour’ the killer.

‘Police have broken up similar gatherings on other estates around Paris, and other cities, where Merah is being portrayed by a tiny minority as martyr.’

French police stop march held in memory of Muslim serial killer

TOULOUSE- Police prevented a group of Muslim scum from holding a demonstration in memory of the Muslim jihadist who gunned down four Jews and three French paratroopers.

AGI (H/T MARTIN)  This afternoon, some one hundred riot police officers intervened to disperse about thirty people who were trying to hold a demonstration in memory of Mohammed Merah, the man behind a series of shootings in Toulouse who was killed by the police two days ago after an over 32-hour siege. Most of the demonstrators were burqa-clad young women. Wearing the full-body burqa veil in public is illegal in France.

More than half of Canadians don’t trust Muslims. Only HALF?

More than half of all Canadians believe Muslims can’t be trusted and nearly as many believe discrimination against Muslims is mainly their fault, according to the results of a new national survey released ahead of Wednesday’s International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. (What ‘race’ is Islam?)

CANADA  ACS (who conducted the poll) executive director Jack Jedwab described the results as a disturbing sign that racism not only remains a problem in the country but that many Canadians feel comfortable holding transparently discriminatory views, then saying things like: “If we feel this way about you, it’s your fault.” “This is also more evidence that the Internet has become the major vehicle for spreading hatred and prejudice,” said Ayman Al-Yassini, executive director of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation.

Asked if Muslims can be trusted, a countrywide total of 52 per cent of respondents said either not at all or only a little. No other group asked about in the survey registered such low levels of trustworthiness. Overall, 71 per cent of respondents expressed significant levels of trust in Protestants, 70 per cent trusted Catholics, 69 per cent trusted Jews, 64 per cent trusted aboriginal Canadians and 63 per cent trusted immigrants.

Among French Canadians,  70 per cent of those surveyed expressed little or no trust in Muslims. On the question of who deserves blame for such negative feelings, Muslims again fared significantly worse than other groups in Canadian society.

Jedwab said the relatively unfettered character of communication via the Internet may be reinforcing, spreading and amplifying negative impressions of various groups in Canada, though particularly Muslims.

While Nicolas Sarkozy tells people not to blame Muslims for the latest Muslim terrorist attack…

Marine LePen gives credit where credit is due: ISLAM. LePen calls it ‘Islamic fundamentalism’ but as we all know, there is no moderate Islam, Islam is Islam. And the fundamentalists follow the same teachings as the mislabeled ‘moderates.’

Expatica  French presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen hit out at “Islamic fundamentalism” on Israeli radio Wednesday after commentators initially blamed European anti-Semitism for deadly sh0ootings that killed seven people, four at a Jewish school.

Self-declared Al-Qaeda militant Mohamed Merah, a 23-year-old Frenchman of Algerian descent, was under police siege in the southwestern city of Toulouse after the triple shootings that sparked a wave of soul-searching in France about attitudes towards immigrant communities.

“The identification of the killer only confirms what I’ve been speaking out against for years — there’s growth of Islamic fundamentalism in our country that the powers-that-be have underestimated,” National Front presidential candidate Marine Le Pen told Tel Aviv private radio 90 FM in a live interview.

“Whole neighbourhoods of the suburbs (of our big cities) have fallen into the clutches of the fundamentalists, weapons are all over the place and foreign funding is pouring in,” she said, speaking in French on the Israeli station.

Writing in the Israeli daily Maariv on Tuesday, commentator Ben-Dror Yemini warned of growing anti-Semitism in France. “The problem isn’t radical Islam. We can live with that snake and occasionally cut off its head,” he said.

“The problem is the support that this hatred has. There’s a strong convergence, particularly in France, between the extreme-left and global jihad on hatred of Israel and the Jews.”
