Is France About To Take Sensible Action?
142 Answers
FRENCH Prime Minister Manuel Valls says the country is to shut down certain mosques, cut foreign funding and police the content delivered in sermons in a massive crackdown on Islamic fundamentalism.
Meanwhile, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has demanded every person suspected of being involved in terrorism be placed under house arrest.
And he said accessing jihadi websites should be made a crime similar to that of paedophiles who view and distribute content online.
France is also considering legislation that will allow it to remove and expel dual national citizens.

Perhaps curtailing the building of more Mosques is a security issue. The existing ones would seem to have become a hotbed of radical indoctrinati on and terrorist radicalisati on which mean valuable resources are tied up monitoring what is going on. Why would the French, or indeed any Country that faces this conundrum encourage even more of the same...

I wonder if this simply plays into the hands of the jihadists.
I would be entirely in favour of the shutting of mosques where radicalisation is proven to be being preached.
I am unsure of the practicalities of house arrest - or the moral correctness of that procedure in a country that works on an 'innocent until proven guilty' premise.
Policing of the internet is next to impossible, and it will be completely impossible to prove access is not simply for educational purposes - looking into the history of fascism on the web does not make someone a Nazi.
The dual national citizens aspect is again fraught with the danger of sweeping up the innocent with the guilty.
It's days like this that I am glad that such decisions are ones which I do not have to make.

Similar measures could take place here in the UK, it is just a matter of putting one's cross in the correct box.

Talbot - //You don't need a Mosque to pray ... only to preach. //
Does that not apply to any place of worship in any faith?
I would have thought you knew the answer to that. //
I do.
That statement applies to any faith - so why should mosques be singled out for having their building programme curtailed - that is my point.
