Christmas In Barbès

Riposte Laïque has been documenting with videos the Islamization of the Barbès neighborhood in the northern section of Paris (18th arrondissement). I have already posted several videos and photos of Fridays in Barbès, here and here. I even received an e-mail from a woman in Australia insisting that the photos must be fakes and that I was promoting hatred. I have yet to respond to her, since I need time to gather the necessary information for an adequate response. These photos and videos are certainly not fakes. But it goes without saying that Barbès is only one enclave. Large areas of Paris are still (relatively speaking) French. "Time is of the essence", as they say.

From our own experience in America, we know that it does not take very long for a city to deteriorate, even if not every neighborhood is lost all at once. We have also learned that when parts of a city are in enemy hands, the whole city suffers. People flee the city as the crime rate rises. Travel on public transportation becomes dangerous, even during the daylight hours. And the general atmosphere becomes tense, as people live defensively, instead of freely, as before.

The photographer responsible for the Barbès videos - Maxime Lépante, has posted two new ones taken on Christmas Day (a Friday) in Barbès. He describes the day:

The streets of Barbès were submerged in record crowds of Muslims who had come to pray illegally in public to show their contempt for France, her laws and her traditions. On Boulevard Barbès they took over the entire sidewalk and even spread their carpets out in the middle of the street, blocking traffic. Rue des Poissonniers was sectioned off with two barriers, not just one as before. For the first time in my memory, the intersection of rue Myrha and rue Léon was completely occupied by the crowd, preventing any car from getting by. At the end of the prayer, there were calls (with megaphones) urging the Muslims to demonstrate for Hamas on December 27, at the place de la République.

Below, a video of Christmas in Barbès. Photo at the top shows rue Myrha on Christmas Day.




Maxime Lépante denounces the police who just stand there as if nothing were going on. But he knows full well that the police are acting under orders. Castrating the police has been one of the goals of the government as it attempts to appease the Muslims, all the while feigning to defend the rights of immigrants against discrimination. The result is that the government discriminates against its own people. But why bother to even say it again...?

You can also find them at YouTube under the name ciceropicas.

Maxime Lépante, in a separate article, points out that other countries have become aware of the videos and that France is being judged as an Islamic country:

Thanks to the Internet, that awesome tool for independent information, that allows us to get around the censorship imposed by the major media agencies, the videos published by Riposte Laïque are beginning to be known throughout the world.

He wonders if the French government really wants the world to retain this image of a decadent France that is replacing the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame as symbols of the country. How long, he asks himself, before the authorities realize that they have to correct this situation.

I'm afraid the answer to that is obvious. The French government has repeatedly said that immigration is a great opportunity for France. Therefore, they may regard the videos as a sign of France's good fortune!

Lépante does not, however, question what would happen if the French government actually DID remove them from the street, AND ban head scarves in public, AND ban the burka in public, AND ban minarets, etc... Were this to happen, only the outer symbols of Islam would disappear from view, to go underground where they would feed the vindictive minds and hearts of the immigrant population. Meanwhile, more immigrants would come in, more children would be born, and eventually these hidden symbols would re-emerge stronger than ever, like the "return of the repressed" that psychoanalysts speak of. Therefore, banning the outer trappings is not enough. The ideology itself has to be removed from French territory.

Riposte Laïque is a website devoted to the law of 1905 separating Church and State, and they have some fine articles. But France is way beyond that point. There is no law of 1905 anymore, only the law of the streets, or to be cynical, only sharia law. RL has to realize that the 1905 law was meant ONLY for Christianity, i.e., the Roman Catholic Church. Once Islam is factored in, everything changes...
