With the seventh day of rioting in France set to begin in a few hours, it’s clear that we are witnessing a story of global importance that the media – including ostensibly ‘conservative’ media outlets like Fox News – is determined to ignore. What we are witnessing may, if inadequate corrective action is not taken, be the beginning of what many of us have feared: the fall of Europe to a Moslem rabble determined to reverse the efforts generations of valiant Europeans who defended the continent against Islamic invasion.

The riots began nearly a week ago, when two Moslem teenagers, fleeing the police (though it is unclear if the police were exactly pursuing them) jumped a wall and ended up being electrocuted by a transformer station. Some might call this natural selection in action – but not everyone is a fan of the Darwin Awards. Naturally, the residents of the Paris’ Moslem ghettos didn’t take the news of their deaths so philosophically.

It would seem that the violence is escalating. In the first days, it was confined to Clichy-sous-Bois, a Moslem suburb. Since then it has spread – allowed to move unchecked it will surely consume all of the Moslems in Paris, and perhaps elsewhere in France and, possibly, even across the rest of Europe.

The particulars of the Moslem problem in France are well known. Through immigration France has a population which, at this very moment, is about 10% Islamic – and that population is growing fast. They are not distributed generally across the nation, but rather concentrated in poverty-stricken suburbs near major metropolitan areas. They are not integrated into France’s population, but rather have been kept culturally apart from them.

France’s problem is more serious than can be imagined. At the present rates, in little more than a decade or two, one in five Frenchmen will be a Moslem. Nor is it likely that, having reached this critical mass, efforts at integration at this late date will be successful.

Some conservatives, still bitter towards the French for their behavior with regard to Iraq, wish France ill. I’m not among those people. France is a great nation with, though with a number of regrettable exceptions in the last seventy years or so, a history worthy of pride. It is, along with Germany, at the core of Continental Europe. We need France to survive.

Now, there is still a path back for France. There is still time for the nation to be saved.

To begin, the Interior Minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, must be willing to use all force – including the most extreme. If we’ve learned anything from Baghdad in the Spring of 2003 and New Orleans in 2005 it’s that the best way to prevent civil disturbances from spreading and spinning out of control, it’s the overwhelming exercise of power. Fill the streets with troops and, if necessary, order them to shoot to kill. There is, quite simply, no other way.

Obviously, this is not a practical long-term solution. Instead, we must accept that, in dealing with dangerous immigrants, there’s only one truly practical solution: mass deportation. France must screen the immigrants already within the nation and separate those with the willingness and potential to be useful French citizens from the potentially dangerous. It will be necessary to be unsentimental about these things – it might even be necessary to strip away French citizenship from some prior to deportation.

The above might sound harsh and cruel – it probably is – but it is also undoubtedly a necessary thing. Given the scale of the problem – and Islam’s notorious inability to work with others – there is simply no other way.

No Western nation, in the age of Islamic extremism, is prepared to absorb millions upon millions of Moslems into its ranks. Period. Full stop. Samuel Huntington has well-documented Islam’s bloody borders. The news is, daily, full of stories of Muslim v. (Your Group Here) conflicts. Moslems v. Christians in Iraq. Moslems v. Jews in Israel. Moslems v. Hindus in India. So far as I can tell, the only reason that Moslems aren’t waging an aggressive war against Scientologists is their lack of a nation of their own.

Unless the French take strong action – unless this can be contained – what we are now seeing is simply a sign of things to come. Without real action, this will simply be the first riot.
