THE UOIF'S CONVENTION WAS TO BE HELD IN LE BOURGET FROM APRIL 6 - 9. ALREADY, DUE TO PRESSURE FROM MARINE LE PEN, THE GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO PROHIBIT THE ENTRY ONTO FRENCH TERRITORY OF FOUR ISLAMIST PREACHERS WHO HAD BEEN INVITED.
SHORTLY THEREAFTER, TWO OTHERS DECIDED ON THEIR OWN NOT TO COME. THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED THEIR REGRET THAT TARIQ RAMADAN, OF SWISS NATIONALITY, WOULD BE PRESENT. THE LEADERS OF OUR COUNTRY DO CONSIDER THE UOIF AS BEING CONNECTED TO ISLAMISTS, IF NOT TERRORISTS.
RATHER THAN A VAIN ELECTION-MOTIVATED ACTION, THREE WEEKS FROM THE FIRST ROUND, IT IS IMPERATIVE TO TAKE DRASTIC MEASURES AGAINST RADICAL ISLAM, WITHOUT DELAY AND WITHOUT WEAKENING.
MARINE LE PEN DEMANDS A BAN ON THE MEETING IN LE BOURGET.
MARINE LE PEN DEMANDS THE DISSOLUTION OF THE UOIF.
MARINE LE PEN WILL TAKE ALL NECESSARY MEASURES TO PROTECT THE FRENCH FROM THE ISLAMIST MENACE. MARINE LE PEN WILL HELP THE FRENCH MUSLIMS TO LIBERATE THEMSELVES FROM THE TYRANNY OF THESE FANATICS WHO ARE DESTROYING OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND OPPRESSING WOMEN, THROUGH A PERVERSION OF RELIGION. MARINE LE PEN WANTS THE CITIZENS TO BE EQUAL IN PUBLIC SPACES AND FREE IN THEIR PRIVATE SPHERES, FOR A FRATERNAL REPUBLIC.
NOTE: I'M DISMAYED BY HER FINAL PARAGRAPH. SHE SOUNDS JUST LIKE GEORGE BUSH RECAST INTO THE SLOGAN "LIBERT'e, 'eGALIT'e, FRATERNITY". JUST AS BUSH SPOKE OF A RELIGION "HIGHJACKED" BY TERRORISTS, SHE IS SPEAKING OF A "RELIGION" THAT HAS BEEN "PERVERTED".
WILL SOMEBODY OUT THERE PLEASE TELL MARINE LE PEN THAT SHE IS NOT TO WASTE HER TIME AND HER COUNTRY'S TREASURE "LIBERATING" MUSLIMS FROM ISLAM. THEY HAVE TO LIBERATE THEMSELVES THROUGH REFLECTION, AND GROWTH. SHE CANNOT DO IT FOR THEM. SHE WILL BE MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE IN HER OWN COUNTRY THAT WE MADE IN IRAQ. SHE SEES HERSELF AS A "LIBERATOR" OF MUSLIMS - A MISTAKE SHE CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE.
