Tens of thousands of Muslims, from Pakistan to Lebanon to Jerusalem, poured out of prayer services to join anti-France protests on Friday, as the French president’s vow to protect the right to caricature the Prophet Muhammad continues to roil the Muslim world.
Hardline Islamic groups across the region have seized on the French government’s staunch secularist stance as an affront to Islam, rallying their supporters and stirring up rage.
Demonstrations in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad turned violent as some 2,000 people who tried to march toward the French Embassy were pushed back by police firing tear gas and beating protesters with batons. Crowds of Islamist activists hanged an effigy of French President Emmanuel Macron from a highway overpass after pounding it furiously with their shoes. Several demonstrators were wounded in clashes with police as authorities pushed to evict activists from the area surrounding the embassy.
In Pakistan’s eastern city of Lahore, an estimated 10,000 followers of the radical Islamic Tehreek-e-Labbaik party celebrating the Mawlid, the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, took to the streets. They chanted anti-France slogans, raised banners and clogged major roads en route to a Sufi shrine.
In my mind, my opinion, no one will ever soothe the Radical minds of those that Do Not, Did Not assimilate, have their own ax to grind against Europe, USA, etc. with their insistence that their way is the only way, Allah or Die!
ReplyDeleteSo why entertain this insanity, whether a second lock-down Tyrannical Style, or tolerating outsider's trying to change other countries which they have no business in IMO, let alone doing harm to the good will of civilized populace??
When other cultures come to tear down systems, whether from ME like Iran, or China, NK, or Russia, etc., assimilation is imperative; Unfortunately those Radical's are used as pawns for some questionable Leader's that seek to divide, corrupt for power gains, and Agenda's only Satan is privy to as to how far the minds of reprobate's, Re-probation in character, goes to subvert IMO! The World has seen slowly gone on till we are at "Critical Mass Point" IMO!
Reprieve from this much Evil can come with prayer's, electing power-players that will uncover ill deeds and reverse the course to utter destruction...with God's Blessings! The Glimpse into how evil Revelations reveals things will become, that is understood, but to pray it's not to continue now would be the reprieve good men need! Prepare for the worst, but pray for the best outcome to the course the world is on. This Election for USA is an example of where or how we should prepare. Communistic tactic's versus Constitutional Laws upheld, enforced, are at stake here in USA, IMO! France needs to grow a pair, get on the right side of boundaries for needed Justice, protection, and civility, for their good people, in my opinion.
