Spengler: why the French will do nothing — 10 Comments

  1. By the way, you are no doubt familiar with the methods used by the Algerians against the Pied-Noir …

  2. Some of the comments are depressing. I was just thinking the other day how every time, going back 30+ years, I’ve had a conversation with an Arab (people I like), without fail their opinions are based on blame of this or that people or country. I can’t think of a single discussion where that wasn’t the case. And in the comments section…there it is.

  3. “it is clear that a very large proportion of French Muslims support the most extreme expression of radical Islam, offering the terrorists the opportunity to blend into a friendly milieu. The problem has gotten too big to be cured without a great deal of mess and pain. In the Gallic hedonistic calculus, a massacre or two per year is preferable to a breach of the tenuous social peace. And that is why France will do nothing. France simply doesn’t have the stomach for it.” Spengler

    But of course France’s future holds far more than simply “a massacre or two per year”…

    Slaughter followed by dhimmitude is now France’s destiny. And, they will accommodate and even embrace it. It increasingly appears that the Nazis exposed French society’s true character (individual exceptions aside) and Islam is confirming it.

    “The French want no-one to be their superior. The English want inferiors. The Frenchman constantly raises his eyes above him with anxiety. The Englishman lowers his beneath him with satisfaction.” Alexis de Tocqueville

  4. The poll results that Spengler cites give the lie to the usual claim that radical Islam is only supported by a small minority of Muslims.

    A 2014 opinion poll found that ISIS had an approval rating in France (at 16%) almost as high as President Francois Holland (at 18%). In the 18-to-24-year-old demographic, ISIS’ support jumped to 27%. Muslims comprise about a tenth of France’s population, so the results imply that ISIS had the support of the overwhelming majority of French Muslims (and especially Muslim youth), as well as the endorsement of a large part of the non-Muslim Left.

    Most French Muslims may not have the courage to act on their convictions, but nor will they willing to help the authorities identify those who are preparing to wage jihad. President Obama is trying to create a similar situation in the US. His administration has already increased muslim immigration to unprecedented numbers. According to Breibart

    As Breitbart News has previously documented, every year the United States voluntarily imports more than a quarter of a million— or 280,000— Muslim migrants. This number includes 117,423 migrants who were permanently resettled with Legal Permanent Resident status, as well as an additional 122,921 temporary Muslim workers and foreign students, and 39,932 Muslim refugees and asylees. This means that each year, the U.S. admits a number of Muslim migrants larger in size than the entire population of Des Moines, Iowa.

  5. Hollande is of the Left… and can then, obviously, do no wrong.

    So, I expect that the French MSM will flip narratives on a dime.

    Heck, Napoleon got the Imperial Guard troops sent to capture him to flip on a dime… and march on the Bourbon monarch. (1815)

    One must understand that “True Believers” flip from one extreme to the other they don’t become moderates.

    Unlike Algeria AND Israel — modern France is of the smart phone.

    That makes ALL the difference in the world.

    Digital records – walking back the cat — will implode jihadist networks at a tempo that you simply can’t believe.

    Sixty-years ago, it took thumb screws and electrodes.

    Now, the authorities merely need to download your history… from your phone.

    Oral ‘interviews’ are so — yesterday.

    The fella that invented this (ok is credited with this ) is Stanley McCrystal — JSOC was his baby.

    Networking backward –digitally — he found Zarqawi — and his JSOC found OBL.

    JSOC, per se, was not named in “Zero Dark Thirty” but the trigger pullers were a part of JSOC.

    JSOC is so secret they keep changing its name.

    It took Nixon to go to Red China.

    It will take the Trudeaus, the Hollandes of this era to flip the script for their True Believers.

    Such is the way of the world, of man, of hate, of the narrative.

  6. You’re forgetting the left’s infinite capacity for hypocrisy. They won’t be held to a principle if they find it inconvenient. They will turn around, adopt the spitting image of Israel’s tactics, then claim they held them all along.

  7. Spengler was the guy that thought Hussein would not win the 2012 elections because of his record. Spengler has few if any clue, about what’s going on in the US.

    If he’s wrong about France too, that’ll be some record there.
