CAIR to the rescue!

--- Quote ---
> (WASHINGTON, D.C., 11/19/2020) – The Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim
civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned French
President Emmanuel Macron’s attempt to dictate the principles of
the Islamic faith after he issued an ultimatum to French Muslim
leaders to draw up a charter in 15 days that would falsely state
that Islam is an “apolitical religion.”

two weeks to draw up a charter of “republican values” that must

President Macron must reverse course before his nation returns
to the colonial racism and religious bigotry that haunted so
many European nations for centuries. President Macron is turning
‘Liberté, égalité, fraternité’ into ‘repression, inequality and
division.’

colonialism as often as possible!

is that French Muslims do not have the First Amendment
protections enjoyed by people of faith in America. It is
therefore our duty to speak out in defense of their religious
rights and freedoms.”

Charter of 1945, on the basis of which Nazi leaders were
convicted by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg in
1945–46. When the act was challenged by Robert Faurisson, the
Human Rights Committee upheld it as a necessary means to counter
possible antisemitism.[26] Similarly, the applications of Pierre

Macron Wants to Be a Middle Eastern Superpower

--- Quote ---
> The French are back in the Middle East—or at least, it seems
that way. With all the talk these days about Russia or China
filling the space in the Middle East that the United States is
alleged to be vacating, France is now making a bid to be part of
the conversation. In the past month and a half, President
Emmanuel Macron has visited Lebanon twice and turned up in
Baghdad for meetings with President Barham Salih, Prime Minister
Mustafa al-Kadhimi, and the Kurdistan Regional Government’s
president, Nechirvan Barzani. Macron has also beefed up the
French military presence in the area, deploying naval units
including a helicopter carrier and frigate to the Eastern
Mediterranean.

4. That does not explain the French troops and aircraft that
arrived on the Greek island of Crete or the two fighter jets
that appeared in Cyprus. The naval units in particular have made
a show of linking up with the Hellenic Navy and conducting
exercises.

An inside look at France's forced repatriation process
--- Quote ---
> France is now receiving more asylum applications than any
other EU country. Last year saw some 133,000 requests, up 7.3
percent on the previous year. Also on the rise are cases of
forced repatriation: foreigners whose applications have failed
and who are deported back to their home country. It's an
expensive and time-consuming process fraught with legal,
humanitarian and logistical concerns.

Judging from the comments a lot of French people have a really
hard time treating people as individuals and judging everyone on
a case by case basis, which is what fairness is all about.
Unless someone absolutely insists that you treat them by the
group identity that they themselves identify with, everyone is
an individual and should be treated as such until they prove
otherwise.

and a few so-called Western ‘human rights organisations’ have
launched a new campaign of slander against China’s Xinjiang,”
the embassy spokesman wrote.

> “Driven by political ends, they fabricated a whole series of
sensational lies which touched public opinion and even misled
certain politicians in France.”

> The text dismissed as “absurd” reports of Xinjiang having
established internment or re-education camps in which a million
Uighurs were held.

> “The reality is that the vocational education and training
centres set up in Xinjiang under the law, and which are similar
to de-radicalisation centres in France and other countries, are
a useful counter-terrorism and de-radicalisation measure,” the
spokesman said.
