Leftist Blueprints for America

Leftists Blueprints for America  – Guest post by Mustang

In a recent article published by Gatestone Institute, Guy Millière wrote the following:

1.      The French government and its justice system claim to treat all religions equally, but they treat Islam as if it were more equal than others—which is to say that Islam enjoys special privileges.  Those who criticize Islam —especially as it is tied to terrorism— become victims of fierce prosecution.

2.     In the words of the spokesman for the Collective Against Islamophobia in France, Marwan Muhammed said, “Who has the right to say in thirty or forty years, France will not be a Muslim country?  No one in this country has the right to extinguish our hope for a society that is globally faithful to Islam.”

3.     President Macron recently said that he wants a law against “fake news.”  If such a law is adopted, all on-line magazines in France that do not broadcast what the government defines as “true news” could be subject to government sanction or suspension.  If such magazines are found outside of France, then access to them could be blocked within France.  Islamic on-line magazines and websites are not on the list of “fake news” providers.  What magazines and websites appear at the top of the government’s list?  Those that question Islam.

Mr. Millière may have missed the point of what has happened to France —indeed, most of Europe.  The issue isn’t Islam; it is that France has become a collectivized society where the rights of individuals (to have and express an opinion, no matter how unpopular it may be) must take a backseat to the right of the state to regulate and control human thought and behavior.  In France, citizens are no longer treated as individuals who are endowed by their creator to have certain unalienable rights, they are treated as rather insignificant cogs in a much larger wheel designed to define society and mold culture according to the will of an elitist oligarchy.  France today is a nation in which government strives to stifle thinking and any expression of intelligence that contradict the political elite.
