France Seeks to Ban Muslim Street Prayers in Paris After Clashes

52

Officials in France are pushing for bans on mass prayers in the streets, largely because of recent protests that have led to violence.

Specifically, Muslims are being told they won’t be allowed to hold massive street prayers any longer because they block traffic, slow pedestrian travel and generally, cause mayhem and upset with others in the city.

Likely, Muslim apologists are gearing to fight the ban.

Muslims won’t be allowed to hold mass prayers on the streets of a Paris suburb where protestors and worshippers have clashed in recent weeks, French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said Sunday.

Weekly street prayers have taken place in the suburb of Clichy-la-Garenne every Friday since the local mosque was shut down by authorities in the spring. Local politicians and protestors have tried to stop the street prayers and the national government is ready to take action.

“They will not have prayers on the street, we will prevent street praying,” Collomb told Franceinfo in an interview published Sunday. “We will make sure we resolve this conflict in the next few weeks.”

Collomb emphasized that “Muslims must have a place of worship to pray” while acknowledging that the current solution doesn’t work.

Dozens of French politicians sang the national anthem Nov. 11 as they marched into a gathering of around 200 Muslims in the area. A mayor, members of parliament, local councilors and civilians walked under a banner reading “Stop Illegal Street Prayers”as they tried to push worshippers out of the town’s market square.

Riot police had to separate the groups to avoid a potentially violent confrontation.

Populist leader Marine Le Pen also weighed-in and showed support for the protests.

“The Republic must go on the offensive in the face of Islamist provocations,” Le Pen said in a tweet. “What is the Minister of the Interior waiting for to restore public order and secularism? Laxity is not an option.”

Laxity, or lacité, is the French tradition of keeping religion out of public activity.

Wasn’t the genocide of Greeks under Ataturk enough to be considered “islamist”? Wasn’t the Istanbul pogrom (also against Greeks and some unlucky Jews) enough to be considered “islamist?” Wasn’t the invasion, annexation and ethnic cleansing of Cyprus in the 1970’s enough to be considered “islamist?” How long has Turkey been enforcing islamic blasphemy and heresy laws?

It remains a truism of human societies that when a long suffering people [as the French are} withdraw their consent to be governed or humiliated in ways which excite and stimulate the aggressors into further acts of violence, they cannot BE governed.

The french like the Brits and Germans remain culturally Christian in outlook if not in direct observance, I honestly believe the Muslims there mistake the lack of a visible angry / violent reaction from the natives as a sign that the native people have accepted the “new order” being imposed upon them without question. This will prove to be a mistake in my view.

I’ve been on lots of demonstrations, some of which ended in violence, but one thing I did notice, when people start to lose fear OF the police and stop listening to the blandishments of a compromised political elite {with an agenda}
the fight back gathers speed very quickly and it spreads.

The French people can be incredibly brave as they’ve proved before, they’ve sustained nearly 300 fatal casualties and a thousand injured in silence and without reaction over the last three years at the hands of Muslims IN France or who have been waived through the borders, I feel the countdown is underway for increasing resistance and it’s likely to take many forms.

When there is no resistance Muslims are RIGHT to believe that. People should be protesting and being obnoxious like Muslims are. Muslims are NOT the majority yet.

There is a very simple low cost cure for these Muslim street prayers.
The Fire Departments should be ordered to wash the streets with cold water from their hoses whenever and wherever any of these disgusting demonstration occur.
They will be particularly effective as cool weather approaches.
To prolong their influence they might mix the water with indelible dye.

They will always have “something to say” until they are permanently silenced.
And they will repeat that “something” over and over without change because they are incapable of independent thought or reason.

the srteet in France are state properties and should not be used for prayers since France is a laïque country. This is povocation on the part of the ass lifters.

The French are so weak and pathetic:
— 1789 French Revolution: The French government was so strong and tough when they marched old Catholic nuns to the guillotine.
— 2017 Islamic Revolution: The French government is so strong and tough when they attack the French people and support Islam as the new national religion.

French government rule regarding religion: Never attack a religion that fights back like Islam.

This whole thing is getting boring: French deport yourselves from France and give your country to the Muslim Invasion Army.

Muslims feel so powerful, so right all the time and with a large crowd force their will on everyone. Disrupt traffic, create chaos by their actions—-they do so deliberately. If they can’t have their way they will do whatever it takes to get what they want—-DOMINATION, control. Spray them with gas and have them coughing—that will get them off the street. Stop being nice—-what they are doing is illegal.
