By now, France’s Emmanuel Macron has grown to be an experienced political escape artist, dodging what seems like a crisis per day in his deeply flawed Presidency.
Most of what he does is to deny, deny: ‘that was not a baggie of coke in the train in Kiev, it was just a crumpled napkin’; ‘France didn’t interfere with the Romanian elections’; ‘she didn’t slap me in front of the cameras in Vietnam, it was just horseplay’…
Now, Macron has attempted to deny what his own government has revealed: there is ongoing dangerous infiltration of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood in France and across Europe.
And you can probably guess his warning: ‘beware of spreading ´conspiracy theories´’. Yes, he said that again.
France was rocked last week by an intelligence report published by the Interior Ministry.
For decades, the report concludes, the Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating EU institutions, Islamic associations and migrant communities with one explicit goal: instituting Sharia law in the West.
Breitbart reported:
“However, Yesterday, President Macron attempted to downplay the scale of the issues raised by the report, which sent shockwaves throughout the continent.
In comments reported by Le Figaro, Macron acknowledged that the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration has been identified in ‘some neighborhoods’, but said that the public ‘shouldn’t think that they are everywhere, because that can make you conspiratorial or paranoid’.”
“The leader of the leftist La France Insoumise (France in Revolt/LFI) party, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, has branded the report itself as being ‘Islamophobic’ and full of ‘conspiracy theories’ from the so-called far-right. The report had noted that the Muslim Brotherhood explicitly uses campaigns against ‘Islamophobia’ to marshal support and gain legitimacy in the public sphere, including by garnering support from the left.
Undeterred, Mélenchon went on to compare the warnings about radical Islam’s influence on European politics to antisemitism in the lead up to the Second World War, writing that “after ‘the Jewish plot’ of the 1930s, here is the ‘Muslim plot’.”
The report was released by Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, a right-winger that is reportedly about to launch his own Presidential campaign. He torched the left for its defense of the MB, calling them ‘accomplices and useful idiots of Islamism’.
“’The progression of Islamist entryism is profound; few saw it coming. It is at the heart of a Republican fight. We cannot respond to taqiyya, to dissimulation, with omerta, that is to say, silence’, he added.”
