Muslim rapper at Bataclan ‘sacrilege’ says French right (AFP)
French right up in arms about provocative Muslim rapper gig at Bataclan FRANCE 24
Note the headline — “French right,” as if this were the position of the leftist-designated fringe. Humanity, decency and reason are now relegated to the “far right” — the worst margins of society — by the authoritarians of the leftist elite. “Cheese-eating surrender monkeys,” indeed.

The Bataclan should have been made a shrine to the hundreds of millions of victims of jihad around the globe and throughout history. Instead, it is a symbol of Islamic conquest and abject submission. This, too, is a form of terror.
Talk about dancing on their graves …..
The devout Muslim terrorists who attacked the Bataclan theater in Paris not only murdered ninety innocent souls (130 killed in total in the Paris attacks) —
they also gouged out the eyes and sliced up the genitals of some of the victims, according to testimony in a disturbing French report.
Some victims’ bodies from the second floor of the theater had been beheaded, eviscerated and otherwise mutilated, according to two accounts reported to a parliamentary commission set up to investigate the attack.
The investigation’s chair, conservative lawmaker Georges Fenech, complained to the commission that details of the mutilations have been kept from families and the press, according to an online transcript. (NY Post)
They scrubbed and censored the savagery so that barbarians such as Medine can take to the stage in a vicious act of supremacy, triumph and mockery.
Muslim rapper at Bataclan ‘sacrilege’ says French right

Paris (AFP) – Rightwing French leaders have condemned as “sacrilege” a decision to allow a provocative Muslim rapper to play the Bataclan concert hall in Paris where jihadists massacred 90 people three years ago.
Singer Medine — who caused an outcry when he attacked hardline secularists in a controversial 2015 song, “Don’t Laik”, a week before the Charlie Hebdo killings — is to play the Bataclan for two nights in October.
French opposition leader Laurent Wauquiez said he was shocked that “someone who sings about ‘crucifying secularists’ and calls himself ‘Islamo-scum'” would appear at the venue “less than three years after Islamist barbarism cost the lives of 90 of our compatriots.
“It is sacrilege and dishonours France,” the leader of the Republicans party tweeted.
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen said that “no French person can accept that this guy spew out his rubbish at the Bataclan”.
“We have had enough of complacency and worse, of this incitement to Islamist fundamentalism,” she added in a tweet.
An online petition organised by her National Rally party — formerly the National Front — calling for the concerts to be banned had more than 17,000 signatures by Monday evening.
– ‘Buffoons’ –
But fans of the rapper took to social media to dismiss the politicians as “buffoons” who had misread his lyrics and were “incapable of understanding a simple quotation”.
Medine himself later hit back in a statement to AFP saying, “Can we let the extreme right dictate what concerts go on and our freedom of expression?
“For 15 years I have fought all forms of radicalisation in my albums which has led to me being attacked by the extreme right and their supporters, who twist the meaning of my songs,” he added.
The Bataclan’s co-director Jules Frutos did not respond to AFP requests for comment.
But the former leader of one of the Bataclan’s victims’ groups, Emmanuel Domenach, sent stinging replies to both Wauquiez and Le Pen’s tweets: “It’s crazy for you to use the victims of terrorism for your sterile controversy.
“What level of dishonour does that put you in?” he asked.
Victims’ group Life for Paris also defended the Bataclan, saying it was against censorship and that the venue should be free to book who it wanted.
“We will not let anyone use the memory of the victims for political ends, as is the case here,” it said in a statement.
– ‘I’m Muslim. Don’t panik’ –
The bearded Medine, who comes from the northern port of Le Havre and is of Algerian descent, has denied that he is an Islamist, comparing himself to “a bomb disposal expert who has been mistaken for someone who plants them”.
His fans pointed out that his song “Jihad” — which former interior minister Brice Hortefeux said he would have brought charges against Medine for releasing — was in fact a cry against violence and war between religions and cultures.
Medine, 35, also co-authored a 2012 book “Don’t Panik” with a leading French academic which they said was an attempt to take the heat out of the French culture war over Islam.
His record company also sells a line of T-shirts bearing the legend: “I’m Muslim. Don’t panik.”
But he became the bete noire of hardline secularists after 11 people were killed in a jihadist attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in January 2015, only a week after his “Don’t Laik” song was released, a play on the French word for secular.
In it he said, “Let’s crucify the secularists like at Calvary… put fatwas on the heads of these idiots.”
The rapper later admitted that “he went too far” in the song.
Medine said the song was to “secular fundamentalists what Charlie Hebdo cartoons were to religious fundamentalists”.
“Provocation is only useful when it provokes a debate, not when it triggers an iron curtain,” he told an academic conference on rap, the music magazine Les Inrocks reported.
However, Aurore Berge, an MP from French President Emmanuel Macron’s ruling Republic on the Move party, said having him headline a concert at the Bataclan was an “insult” to the victims of the slaughter.
Bruno Retailleau, the leader of the opposition Republicans in the French Senate called on the government to prosecute the rapper in the same way as firebrand comedian Dieudonne, who was convicted of glorifying terrorism in 2015.

I’ve read a laboriously long and boring fatwah over on wikiislam about music, the end conclusion is that only drums may be played (and maybe only tabor drums) and that only women may sing.

Thinly-veiled spinner, protesting as rapper: “For 15 years I have fought all forms of radicalization in my albums which has led to me being attacked by the extreme right and their supporters, who twist the meaning of my songs.” Yet free of threat from Muslim Fundamentalists? — Why? — Do they understand something clueless “infidels” don’t? (Maybe “sleepers” show up for his shows, death-admirers masked in stealth.)
Poor misunderstood Medine (Medina?), mistaken for “bomb disposal expert”, he claims as (play-acting?) rapper. Or is he an “entertainer” not taken seriously, who across French-speaking world, lays down social-IEDs. For future germination, in soil of alien minds, plants jihad’s invasive seed? How are non-indoctrinated to interpret SWORD, on shirt offensively emblazoned? ( Insensitive, hardly captures it. )
RT video, young man on issue: …“whose his crowd, really?” — Good question. Who pays to hear “Jihad”-rapper “spew out his rubbish” (insulting corrosive content), not only in jihad-savaged France, but its bloodied Capital. And worse, soon to walk over—VIOLATE the memory—of its Scimitar-fallen, by “performing” (or shadow-play celebrating?) in very theater of its horrendous ritual slaughter—unleashed on Nation’s sons and daughters! Who are they, “his crowd”, who buy “Jihad”? —- “We have had enough of complacency and worse, of this incitement to Islamist fundamentalism,” — Marine Le Pen.

In an Eagles of Death Metal documentary, about a year ago, a French reporter pressured lead singer, Jesse Hughes, about how “Gun Control” would have maybe prevented the Bataclan massacre from happening, and his completely logical reply was that France already has incredibly strong gun laws that they did squat.

Once again, they have submitted to the will of Islam. It’s harder to sympathize with countries when they suffer terror attacks when they also elect leaders allowing this.

Moslems and the left just MOCKING you French. But the Frenchmen is an arrogant basturd. The Moslem has done the French Revolution for you, from the bottom up this time.
You need another one from the top down, like the original.

To allow this event to take place will mean that France has surrendered any honour it had.. It goes to show, the French Government has the same contempt for it’s own citizens just as much as Britain does… Must be time for the citoyens to bring back the tumbrils and the guillotine

Everytime someone copulates to a demand made by a Muslim, they are reinforcing Sharia law. Read the Quran to understand your enemies. Speak the truth about Islam.

I don’t agree with your cause and effect premise. Inadequate security caused that massacre. As for Italy, they can always leave the EU, but they would likely sink.

He denies calls for terrorism. But his shirt says Jihad. That is extremism, and calling for it as well. Why they are allowing him at that theater is beyond reason.

When people are getting murdered by muslums in the streets of France it’s a little too late to be worrying about honor.
