"Allahu akbar!" in France: asylum-seeker kills refugee centre manager

RT.com today reports a sad but unsurprising story from France. OFPRA, the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons, this week refused to give refugee status to a 38-year-old Sudanese asylum-seeker, who had been in France for over five years, since the Great "Refugee" Flood of 2015. The man, who was already known to the authorities for acts of violence and had been in prison, was angered by this unjust decision, and expressed his righteous indignation by stabbling to death the manager of a refugee centre in the city of Pau, in the Pyrénées-Atlantique département.

Inspector Clouseau, of the local gendarmerie, said the "suspect"'s motives remain "unknown". Of course the cops would say that, lest they be accused of provoking Islamophobia. It's actually a pretty reutine story, in today's France, a self-proclaimed "secular republic". I mention this because on Tuesday, France's National Assembly voted to implement tough new measures to strengthen the secular nature of state institutions and eradicate what President Emmanuel Macron calls the threat of "Islamic separatism" among the country's rapidly increasing Muslim population. The government bill to "reaffirm republican principles" passed by a comfortable majority. It tabled last December in the wake of the killing of another French public servant, Samuel Paty, a middle-school teacher who had shown cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed to his students as part of a lesson on freedom of expression. The legislation had been in the works long before that, amid a debate about how to counter the radicalization of Muslims who believe their religious ideals should take precedence over those of the Republic. The new laws have been denounced by the usual suspects, including the lamestream media on this side of the pond, as "racist", "Islamophobic", "anti-Muslim", yada yada yada. AP headlined its report "France passes anti-radicalism bill that worries Muslims". That's all ye know and all ye need to know. The bill now moves on to the French Senate, which does not have a veto over the legislation that passes the assembly, but which could propose amendments. Still, it is expected to become law later this year, just as France enters a presidential election campaign. The election won't be uhtil the spring of 2022, but Walt is ready now to open a book on it. I predict that Marion Anne Perrine "Marine" Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National (National Rally), will defeat M Macron, unless the forces of Soros succeed in pulling off another "Biden coup".
