Raymond Ibrahim: ‘Muslim Grievances’ Responsible for Terrorism in France, Says Reuters
Wednesday, July 20, 2016
After the Nice, France terror attack—where approximately 84 people
were killed and hundreds injured—Western “mainstream media” is again in
full damage control mode, trying to rescue “the narrative,” namely, that
Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. Take one Reuters report by Tom Heneghan, titled “Foreign and domestic policies make France ‘most threatened country.’” Its very first opening sentence cites terrorist propaganda:
After two militant attacks in Paris killed 17 people in
January last year, Islamic State’s French-language magazine Dar al-Islam
appeared with the Eiffel Tower on the cover and the headline “May Allah
curse France”….
Why Muslims would call on Allah’s wrath against France is the theme
of the entire report, and here Heneghan leaves no stone unturned—even
managing to invoke the Crusades—in his attempt to portray France as
“aggrieving” Muslims:
The reasons that make France a prime target for radical
Islamist groups range from its present-day military operations all the
way to – at least in Islamic State’s propaganda – the Crusades from the
11th to 15th centuries when Christians battled Muslims in the Middle
East.
After the Paris attacks [Nov. 2015, 130 killed], Islamic
State said France and other countries fighting alongside it would remain
threatened as long as they pursued “their crusader campaign” in Syria
and Iraq….
“France is gripped by an irrational and deaf hatred against Islam and
Muslims that pushed it to the head of the coalition against the
caliphate,” Dar al-Islam wrote last year, referring to the territory
controlled by Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.
In this light, a much simpler factor explains why France has been
repeatedly exposed to terrorist attacks—a factor that was casually
alluded to in Reuter’s otherwise pro-Islamic propaganda piece: “Europe’s
largest Muslim minority” resides in France; there is a
“five-million-strong Muslim community, about 8 percent of the
population.”
In short, Islam’s Rule of Numbers—which
holds that the more Muslims grow in numbers, the more violence against
non-Muslims grows with them—is the true reason France has become the
“most threatened country.”
