The Truth This Time from France

Dhimmi Watch: Hugh Fitzgerald on Denis MacEoin, racism, and posting here

A French academician, who uses the nom de plume of "Pelayo," wrote one of the most moving set of comments recently to a Jihad Watch article. What is so moving was how Pelayo writes the unvarnished truth, and the truth is always powerful. Click the link to see the article that inspired Pelayo's comments, his full comments, and the comments of others.

Pelayo wrote in response to a JW writer, Hugh, who was responding to someone who had cancelled his subscription to JW because of the quality of the comments posted on JW. It is extremely important to recognize that these comments, unmoderated as they are, are the VOICE OF THE WORLD. They come from numerous foreign countries as well as America. Most of them come from those who cannot get the truth from their own journalistic media and have nowhere to express their outrage at what is happening to them and to the world as a result of Islamic jihad.


The following has been edited only slightly to minimize references to the original JW article which have not been reproduced here:

I am a Frenchman, and I discovered this site accidentally about a year ago...and reading its contents was like being given oxygen. I suppose that, as Hugh says, most people reading this site are Americans, and certainly an overwhelming majority are English speakers (English, Australians, etc...). But I am a continental European, and while this site has frequent postings about Europe, what most of you do not realize is that very little of what YOU read on this site, even about Europe, is almost never reported in Europe's MSM [main stream media]. Let me give you an example. We are all familar with the case of Theo van Gogh. Well, here in France, this sharia killing was barely reported, and few of my neighbors and colleagues are aware that this happened. It was not discussed in the media in any meaningful way. When it was, the conversation turned almost instantly to "xenophobia", and "racism". You in America often complain about the American media...but you have no idea how GOOD you have it over there. The French media is Soviet...important news never reported...what news is reported is hopelessly slanted...there is nothing like Fox News in France, no papers or magazines that dissent from the government line...and don't forget that many French people do not have access to Internet, and there is only a very small "blog culture".

The point is, that for a European like me, this site is one of our only connections to the "real world"...the only place where we can see, written in black and white, what is going on BOTH HERE, and elsewhere.

Yes, Hugh writes eloquently about the collapse of European culture. With all, and I mean ALL, respect to Hugh...it's one thing to write about it...it's quite another thing to live it...to see your culture, your history, your civilisation, disappearing before your eyes...and for what?

Day by day, slowly, before my eyes, my country, France, is ceasing to exist, and is being replaced by the most alien, aggressive, backward belief system...being taken over, man by man, family by family, in the hideous apartment blocks that ring all of France cities, by a population whose belief system permits them to look at us, the French, with only the deepest contempt, and yes, hatred. And yet, with your American French jokes aside, France was one of the glories of the world, one of the greatest of civilisations.

And don't forget...there, but for the grace of God, will go America one day.

There is no independent press, no independent thinking, in Europe any more. Americans must once and for all drop your idea of "Europe" as it was from 1945 to 2000. That Europe is gone forever. France, and all of Europe, is sinking into the dark abyss of Islam...from which no civilization has ever re-emerged.

Hugh is right, we are changing the way we live...slowly, in small increments. I live in a large French city. I no longer leave my home on the week-ends, except for Sunday morning. From Friday night until Sunday morning, the streets of the biggest French cities do not belong to the French. Sunday afternoon the shift occurs again, and we hand our streets back to the alien population for a few hours. Few of my neighbors leave their homes either. Or they go to their country houses...that way they don't have to admit so readily that they are changing the way they live. We have modified our lives, our shopping habits, our social habits, to adapt ourselves to this new reality. We never shop on the week-ends any more...we organize everything so that we will not have to stare the new reality in the face. I find myself having thoughts like "So this is how the Christians in Constantinople must have felt"...I realize that I am living in the new Alexandria. We cannot send our children to public schools. We all know why we are doing it, but none of us will talk about it. That's racist, you see.

While some complain about the "content" of the replies on this site...I think of how when I drive out of my city, and into any other French city, I see hideous concrete block after hideous concrete block, with each apartment adorned with a satellite dish, and I think of what "news", what "information" is pouring into those rooms, and into the heads in those rooms...what is the "content" of those media outlets. One should worry far more about that than about some over the top statements found at dhimmiwatch.
