France - How Did It Come To This?

Did you know that 112 cars per day are being burned by radical Muslims youths in France?

The figures are stark. An average of 112 cars a day have been torched across France so far this year and there have been 15 attacks a day on police and emergency services. Nearly 3,000 police officers have been injured in clashes this year. Officers have been badly injured in four ambushes in the Paris outskirts since September. Some police talk of open war with youths who are bent on more than vandalism.

This is the inevitable result of a civilization's best minds turning against their own culture. Of people deciding to attack their own history. Is there anything more absurd or unseemly than the leading lights of the French Left turning against the Enlightenment - against the French Left's greatest gift to progress and civilization? Of course Europe is easy pickings for literal barbarians - France's most powerful minds have been hollowing it out from the inside for the better part of two generations.

Post-Zionist Israelis and leftist American academics take note: your time can be spent more productively than culturally and morally weakening the basis for your countries' existence and legacy.
