France: A Second Jihad in the Bataclan?
France: A Second Jihad in the Bataclan?
- “Organizations representing the families of the Bataclan victims said that an Islamic rap concert praising jihad, in a place where people were murdered and tortured by jihadists, would be an insult to the memory of the victims, and asked that the concerts be canceled.
- “France is at war, and leaves the enemy in peace”. — Ivan Rioufol, journalist, in Le Figaro.
- Macron and the French government speak and act as if the enemy has won and as if they want to gain some time and enjoy the moment before the final surrender.
“The French Suicide” (“Le suicide français”) is a book published by the author Éric Zemmour in October 2014. Just one year later, on November 13, 2015 in Paris, a horror took place at the Bataclan Theater, when three terrorists fired into the crowd during a concert, murdered 130 people, and injured 413. Some of the victims had been tortured.
The French population reacted as usual: shock and horror quickly gave way to resignation and submission. Flowers, candles and teddy bears were placed at the scene of the attacks. The government promised to act, but did almost nothing. A ceremony was organized that ended with a song that said, “When All You Have is Love”.
A parliamentary commission of inquiry drafted a report. Military forces, deployed in the streets before the attacks, were reinforced. A climate of resignation and submission reigned.
When the Bataclan Theater reopened a year later, the musician Sting sang a song called Inshallah (“If it be your will, it shall come to pass”). Commemorative plaques bearing the word “murders” — not terrorism, and of course not jihad — were laid to honor the victims so that passers-by would learn that people were killed, but not by whom. For the second anniversary of the attacks, political leaders from left and right released balloons and smiled as they rose in the sky.
The attacks of November 13, 2015 had seemed to be relegated to an almost forgotten past, when two recent events put them back on the map.”
