France President Emmanuel Macron issued a somewhat shocking statement about the realities of terrorism in Africa, saying “Islamic terrorism” was crumbling the continent — not the lack of funding.
Macron, as Jihad Watch noted, is the same guy who commented after the Paris shooting that terrorism was “an imponderable problem” that would be “part of our daily lives for years to come.”
But now?

Perhaps he’s had an epiphany.
From Jihad Watch:
Recently, during the G-20 photo session, Macron was pictured here creating a comical scene to stand beside President Trump; and now, he has stunned his leftist comrades with a politically incorrect statement about a “civilizational” problem in Africa. He even stated:
“As of today, spending billions of dollars outright would stabilise nothing,” he concluded, having also cited arms-smuggling, drug- and human-trafficking, and Islamic terrorism as issues beyond simple poverty which might be hobbling Africa.
Why stop now? Macron might as well come out and admit the catastrophic “civilizational” problem that is destroying Europe: the war being waged by jihadists (violent and stealth) against infidel France and other democracies. It’s a bigger global problem than picking on how many children Africans are having.
Breitbart noted the shocking admission as well.
From that news outlet:
French president Emmanuel Macron has stunned his left-liberal admirers by saying that Africa does not need more aid, as its problems are “civilisational” rather than financial.
Macron, who has won plaudits from establishment broadcasters and media outlets by positioning himself as a counter-weight to President Donald Trump’s conservative, populist-leaning administration in the U.S., triggered a furious response when he made the comments at the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.
Asked by an Ivory Coast journalist how many G20 members would be willing to commit to an African Marshall Plan – referring to the post-war reconstruction funding programme for Europe – the Frenchman surprised listeners by saying he did not think this would be a viable solution to Africa’s problems.
“The Marshall Plan was a reconstruction plan, a material plan [for a stable region],” he said.
“The problems Africa faces are completely different … and are civilisational,” he went on.
“What are the problems? Failed states, complex democratic transitions, and extremely difficult demographic transitions.”
Macron was uncharacteristically direct in clarifying what these “demographic transitions” might be later on in his remarks, chiding countries which “have seven or eight children per woman”.
The left was quick to denounce.
Macron’s remarks were quickly branded “racist,” and the like, by those who speak only of colonialism as the problem.

Macron’s turning point, proved that pro-Islamic stand of Left wing is not only due to ignorant, but purposeful. Left wing work for political power only at the cost of life of citizen. Macron–after acquiring political power—is now showing truth of Civilization, he must be welcomed, by all who care for civilization.

He still refuses to accept the reality of the French situation. Pointing the spotlight elsewhere isn’t his job. Dealing with the Islamic problem in France is his job.

He is trying to justify islamic immigrants into Europe. As long as he does not call for halt to islamic jihadi immigrants he is part of the problem.
Left/liberals pro-islam loons have already given their countries to Islam/sharia law .
Infidels do not even have right to protest against crimes committed by Muslims . If they dare try it they get harassed, jailed or killed http://bit.ly/2r6F3cp

Macron is inconsistent: he condemns Islamic terrorism in Africa while promoting & financing Islamic tyranny of the Gaza-region as superior to the Israeli government.
It seems Macron wants to flash a little Islamic racism against Africans & that’s that.
What has been a continuous policy disaster for Africa has been the creation of the European Union, it’s focus on itself (Europe), excluding Africa & also it’s exclusion & condemnation of Israel through systematic falsification of history & news (Nazis & Amin al-Husseini, Islamic enslavement of Africans).
#American English for Africa & France!
#BoycottIslam #Shariafreeworld
#Ban Islam, save lives worldwide & free the African slaves from Saudi Arabia to Mauritania, the Biafra-leader, the Leavenworth 10, Israeli soldier Azaria, Salim Masih & so on.

Is “Macaroni Boy” gaining some intellect? Well, not having married that unattractive mommy figure. Next to Melania last week, she looked like a colony of fungus. Love to Pamela G. & to all of you patriots…Marianne Ricci-Wilson.

Truth has a nasty way of saying, “told ya so” just when it hurts the most. I’m glad people are slowly learning what Islam truly is. And if we aren’t careful, we’ll be hobbled too by its barbarity.
