Here ya go, folks – Eurabia’s conversion, Phase I. It is a proposal by the muslims who are currently setting Paris ablaze. What is it? Why, it’s a two-state solution for France. Seriously, folks, this is stunning news, from “Why Paris Is Burning” by Amir Taheri:
Some are even calling for the areas where Muslims form a majority of the population to be reorganized on the basis of the “millet” system of the Ottoman Empire: Each religious community (millet) would enjoy the right to organize its social, cultural and educational life in accordance with its religious beliefs.
In parts of France, a de facto millet system is already in place. In these areas, all women are obliged to wear the standardized Islamist “hijab” while most men grow their beards to the length prescribed by the sheiks.
The radicals have managed to chase away French shopkeepers selling alcohol and pork products, forced “places of sin,” such as dancing halls, cinemas and theaters, to close down, and seized control of much of the local administration.
A reporter who spent last weekend in Clichy and its neighboring towns of Bondy, Aulnay-sous-Bois and Bobigny heard a single overarching message: The French authorities should keep out.
“All we demand is to be left alone,” said Mouloud Dahmani, one of the local “emirs” engaged in negotiations to persuade the French to withdraw the police and allow a committee of sheiks, mostly from the Muslim Brotherhood, to negotiate an end to the hostilities.
President Jacques Chirac and Premier de Villepin are especially sore because they had believed that their opposition to the toppling of Saddam Hussein in 2003 would give France a heroic image in the Muslim community.
That illusion has now been shattered — and the Chirac administration, already passing through a deepening political crisis, appears to be clueless about how to cope with what the Parisian daily France Soir has called a “ticking time bomb.”
It is now clear that a good portion of France’s Muslims not only refuse to assimilate into “the superior French culture,” but firmly believe that Islam offers the highest forms of life to which all mankind should aspire.
So what is the solution? One solution, offered by Gilles Kepel, an adviser to Chirac on Islamic affairs, is the creation of “a new Andalusia“* in which Christians and Muslims would live side by side and cooperate to create a new cultural synthesis.
The problem with Kepel’s vision, however, is that it does not address the important issue of political power. Who will rule this new Andalusia: Muslims or the largely secularist Frenchmen?
Well, if a two-state solution is good enough for the Israelis, then it should be good enough for France. After all, Daniel Bernard, the French Ambassador to Britain, asked why should the world risk another world war because of “that shitty little country Israel”, but now France is a shitty little country, isn’t it Danny, you arrogant little putz. How do you say the Chickens Have Come Home to Roost in French?
*(Andalusia is a region in Spain. Historically, it describes the greater part of the territory captured and held by jihad conquest until the Muslims (“Moors”) were expelled by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492. Known as “al-Andalus” by the Muslims, it is part of the lost territory (eternally Muslim, because once Muslim) that Osama and his buddies in all hope to recover.)
