Paris Suffers Another Islamic Terror Attack

The attacker was known by secret service in France as an extremist, according to officials.

President Trump said the shooting “looks like another terrorist attack” during a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, and sent his condolences to France.

The incident follows a number of election season attacks around Paris, such as the Louvre museum in February and one at Orly airport last month.

With the first round of balloting only days away, one wonders if these attacks are going to help Marine Le Pen’s campaign.  She has been adamantly against current refugee policies in France, and is using the danger of Islamic terror as a chief part of her platform.

The question, then, is not if the rise of more terror will help Le Pen’s chances in the upcoming day at the ballot box, but how much it will boost Marine Le Pen towards her opportunity to be France’s next leader.

According to the Daily Beast, based on the ideological writings of jihadists such as Abu Musab al-Suri, the terrorists’ goal is to create violent divisions in Europe’s population, pitting Christians—“crusaders”—against Muslim immigrants and their descendants, to the point where eventually there is civil war.

In that context, from the jihadist point of view, a Le Pen victory is something devoutly to be wished. And the terrorist incident that could be the tipping point was all too easy to execute.

If that is the case, then the question becomes, “Would a Le Pen win be playing into their hands?  Or does the Islamic jihad underestimate the capabilities of a Le Pen administration?”

Unlike the United States, the fate of France is considered to be all but written from a demographics point of view.  The Muslim birthrate, for one, is much higher than that of the French.  The Muslim population in France is estimated at around 6 million today, and it has been suggested it could grow to 12 million by 2020-2025.  With the French population close to 65 million, that makes the percentage of Muslims in France today at just under 10%.  In the United States, the Muslim population is roughly at 3.3 million, which means that Muslims make up about 1% of the total U.S. population (about 322 million people in 2015).  In both countries, those numbers will likely rise rapidly over the next few years.

Dr. Hammond reminds us, “Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.  Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.”

Their takeover of a country, begins when the population of Muslims reaches a critical mass, and they begin to agitate for various privileges.

Open, free, democratic societies are particularly vulnerable (and we seem to have forgotten we are supposed to be a republic, not a democracy). “When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well,” he notes.
