• After two years and 238 deaths at the hands of Islamic terrorism, what did France do to defeat radical Islam? Almost nothing. • If Emmanuel Macron wins, France as we have known it can be considered pretty much over. By blaming 'colonialism' for French troubles in the Arab world, and calling it 'a crime against humanity', he has effectively legitimized Muslim extremist violence against the French Republic. • In just two years, Muslim organizations in France have dragged to trial great writers such as Georges Bensoussan, Pascal Bruckner, and Renaud Camus. It is the Islamists' dream coming true: seeing 'Islamophobes' on trial to restrict their freedom of expression.

Charlie Hebdo's physical massacre was therefore followed by an intellectual one. Bassport master. I'm praying that France manages to elect Marine Le Pen so that France can begin to take back its country.

I know a lot of people write the French off as hopeless cowards, but they were able to wrest their country from English control with the help of Joan of Arc. If France can remember and embrace that part of its past, they can take back their country. France is our oldest ally and they gave us brave men such as Lafayette, Rochambeau, De Kalb, and De Grasse, without whom we might have remained an English colony.

France has given the world beautiful, irreplaceable artwork and gifted writers such as Voltaire and Beaumarchais. It would be beyond tragic for Lafayette's homeland to destroy itself through appeasement to islam. On a side note, I've read 'Submission' and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get an idea of how the takeover would play out. Unfortunately, IT IS TOO LATE!!! Blaming 'colonialism' was the most stupid mistake the French people and many other Europeans made.

I am not trying to Justify colonialism, but events were a lot more peaceful, once upon a time. Yes, colonialism was wrong, but that does not exuse commiting suicide by the Europeans, or feeling guilty the rest of their life. Of course, neither the French nor any other Europeans ever feel guilty for killing or getting rid of Jews --- that is always 'kosher'. In any case, it is too late. The Muslims are here to stay, and GOD help those who do not convert to Islam.

As for free speech --- that is another 'luxury' of the past --- most Muslims do not beleive in it. Thank you Giulio Meotti and Gatestone. The French people are a gutless bunch, and have been certainly since the run-up to WWII. They didn't fight then, they didn't fight Communism during the Cold War and they have not fought Radical Terrorism since it began to rear its ugly head back in the 1980's. Lack of courage this extreme began evolving in France beginning with its bloody and ill conceived French Revolution.
