What do you call a country where 70% of prison inmates are from one group, where there are two hundred rapes a day mostly committed by that same group, where 25% of the population one group rejects the national name, and where there are over seven hundred “no-go zones”? You call it France.
France is disappearing; a nation which has given the world so much beauty in literature, music, architecture, food, and more is slipping away. France is not alone in the challenge it faces as the same problems faced by Belgium, Germany, Sweden, and others. Yet somehow it is sadder because of the hundreds of years France stood for all that was good about European culture.
The greater question is why is it being allowed to happen? Where is the political leadership that can stop the deadly challenge of France? Are we to believe that French politicians for example, wish to see all that is good in France to disappear? Are French political leaders afraid of a minority which often seems to wish to march bravely back into the seventh century and who insist on the fruits of those they despise but reject the cost? Where is the modern day De Gaulle, Clemenceau, or Richelieu?
And what about the average French citizen? Are they so cowed, so weak, so blind that they do not see and do not care about the threat to their way of life? How can they continue to elect politicians who seem to care more about maintaining their lavish perks of power rather than face the very existential threat that grows stronger with every day? Where is the pride of the average citizen?
There are options and solutions to answer the threat but where is the will? Can France and Europe be saved? Or is it too late?
