The Eiffel Tower was evacuated tonight following a telephoned terrorist bomb warning.

Some 1,500 people, including tourists and staff, were escorted out of France’s most famous landmark shortly after 7.30pm.

It follows threats from Al-Qaeda pledging ‘revenge’ for the French intervention in the African state of Mali to fight Islamic terrorists.

Police said an anonymous call had been received from a phone booth in a Paris suburb warning that explosives had been place around the tower.

The bomb warning said the blast would happen at 9.30pm, said police. But by 10pm there had been no explosion.

The tower was still shut, with trained sniffer dog teams searching for a possible bomb.

‘It may be that the tower does not reopen tonight,’ said a police spokesman.

‘Searches are carrying on, but no members of the public are being allowed anywhere near. There has been a full evacuation.’

How many buses and Jewish community centers do you have to bomb for France to call you a terrorist group?

Spiegel reports that Germany is finally putting pressure on the EU to label Hezbollah a terrorist group. The move comes after authorities began to suspect Hezbollah of involvement in a the bus bombing that killed five Israeli tourists in Bulgaria last year.

Police arrest 16 youths after Paris train hold-up

Posted on by

Since the French legacy media has decided by instruction or convention to refer to Muslims when they commit antisocial acts as, ‘youths’ I am kinda forced to suggest that these people may be all Muslims and all from the ages of 16 to 35. As in many many reports I have read of ‘youths’ in France, some of them were old enough to be grandparents.

Police arrest 16 youths after Paris train hold-up

French police arrested 16 youths Wednesday following a train invasion near the impoverished Parisian suburb of Grigny in which dozens of passengers were robbed. The local mayor said the attack “discredited the silent majority” who live in the area.

By FRANCE 24  (text)

French police on Wednesday arrested 16 youths, aged between 14 and 18, after the hold-up of a suburban train near Paris earlier in March.

They are suspected of having boarded the train en masse in the run-down Grigny suburb on March 16, stopping the train by setting off the alarm, and going through the carriages robbing frightened passengers systematically of their mobile phones, cash and handbags.

The number 56 French language book on Amazon, a counter-jihad book

Posted on by

This looks interesting indeed.

Below, the email about current French attitudes which brought me the link to the book:

Hello to my American friends,

some good news from France.

According to the surveys published in the last 3 months :

— 73% of the French people think that there are too many immigrants in France ;

— 76% of the French people are opposed to the building of mosques in France ;

— 84% of the French people want the muslim veil to be banned in all businesses and companies (public and private) and in all private schools and nurseries (currently, the muslim veil is banned in public areas and public schools only).

The only question is : how long will it take for the French elected leaders to do what the people want more and more eagerly ?

People are more and more opposed to the Socialist government. For example, there is a very important (and still growing) opposition to the “gay marriage”. More than 1,400,000 people demonstrated against it, last Sunday, in Paris (the biggest demonstration in France for the last 30 years), and our president and prime minister and ministers are now facing demonstrators wherever they go, day after day after day.

Last but not least, we have published a very important book, written by an ally of ours, demonstrating that there is (and will be) only one solution : to start a new Reconquista, to deport the Muslims out of our country, because it is impossible to integrate them and because they will continue to try to destroy our country, time and again :

Reconquista ou mort de l’Europe : L’enjeu de la guerre islamique

This book is now in the 56th position of all the French books sold on Amazon France website !

(Withholding name till I get permission)

France and the United States have a long and illustrious history of assisting each other for the purposes of continued liberty on both sides. I hope this will continue.

 

 

Its all in the name. Or, to coin a phrase…

Yesterday in Paris, a geopolitically significant event took place, and one for which, there is no popular name to which people can easily refer to this event.

The fact was, that 300,000 people descended on Paris like a jove and demanded the annulment of homosexual marriage and adoption privileges. This is a major event and agree or disagree with the protestors, should not be ignored.

Now the French word for cancelation, such as for a bill or new law etc. is:

“annuler” and of course it was a massive strike against increased legalization of homosexual lifestyles within French society so the word ‘gay’ should be in there somewhere.

So I suggest we call the event, ‘Anuller Gay’

Riot police clash with protesters in Paris as 300,000 take to the streets to demonstrate against gay marriage

I think its time they stopped calling it, “Gay Paris”

I will not say my personal opinion of this issue at this time. But I don’t think that 300,000 people marching at one time in one city should go unreported.

Eeyore.

Paris riot police fought back crowds who pushed their way onto Paris’ landmark Champs-Elysees avenue today as part of a huge protest against a draft law allowing same-sex couples to marry and adopt children.

Up to 300,000 people – conservative activists, children, retirees, priests – converged on the capital in a last-ditch bid to stop the bill, many bussed in from the French provinces.

The lower house of France’s parliament approved the ‘marriage for everyone’ bill last month with a large majority, and it’s facing a vote in the Senate next month.

Both houses are dominated by French President Francois Hollande’s Socialist Party and its allies.

Sustained protests led by opposition conservatives in this traditionally Catholic country have eroded support for the draft law in recent months, and organizers hope Sunday’s march will weigh on the Senate debate.

A leading French anti-terror judge has told French media he is worried about the implication of large numbers of French Muslims heading to Syria to fight a holy war against the Damascus regime.

By FRANCE 24  (text)

As many as 80 French citizens are fighting with rebel groups in Syria, according to a report in French daily Le Figaro published Wednesday.

The number is far higher than the “handful” said by French Interior Minister Manuel Valls to be operating alongside Islamists in Mali, or the estimated number of Frenchmen who went to Bosnia, Iraq or Afghanistan to wage “jihad”, or Muslim holy war.

Islamification of France. Russian TV

Posted on by

I find it both interesting and revealing that Russia, Hungary, Israel and one or two other nations which escape my memory at the moment, all within the last few months have done documentaries on the islamification of France. Makes one wonder what it will take for people to get the hint.

Thank you SimonXML for the translation. This is quite a clip of video.

Frenchman who ripped a Muslim woman’s veil off is given a five-month suspended sentence

she must have been one ugly sow if they hated seeing her face that much. Although I have heard thar ripping the wimple off a nun can be habit forming.

But seriously folks. Isn;t wearing one of these illegal in france and so ripping one off should be somewhat akin to stopping a robbery?

A Frenchman who ripped a Muslim woman’s veil off her eyes was given a five-month suspended prison sentence today.

The 30-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said he was merely trying to ‘enforce’ his country’s laws when he carried out the attack in the French city of Nantes.

He approached the woman in a fairground in September last year and pulled away the veil that was covering the woman’s eyes.

French Catholic girls react to the antics of ‘Femen’

This is quite sweet. Not to mention valid. While I salute the brave protests of Islamic misogyny and general disenfranchisement of women Femen often do, what they also do to Catholics and Catholic artifacts they would never dare do to a mosque, and the comparison is not valid in any case.

PARIS – A Paris prosecutor says three young Frenchmen detained last week were plotting an imminent bomb attack in France.

Prosecutor Francois Molins said Monday that one of the men had caught the attention of U.S. authorities by sending an email message to the White House. Molins didn’t elaborate and the U.S. Embassy in France had no immediate comment.

Molins said the three men were in part inspired by Mohamed Merah, a gunman espousing radical Islam who killed Jewish schoolchildren and French paratroopers in a shocking rampage in Toulouse a year ago.

Two perforated tires and scratches on the body that the elected judges “inadmissible”: “They come and walk into my private life.

Although what he defines as “means of pressure” will not make him come back on his decision “it is a question of economics, of justice and equality for the children. I hear the reaction of the parents and am ready to receive them, to listen to them but to go as far as vandalizing my personal property it goes too far.”
