A NEW FILM ABOUT YOUNG FRENCH WOMEN DRAWN TO JIHADISM By Elisabeth Zerofsky November 23, 2016 “Heaven Will Wait” draws from real stories of teen-age girls in France who joined networks of jihadists. In “Heaven Will Wait,” a new film by the French director Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar, a teen-ager named Sonia is placed under house arrest after being caught plotting to plant a bomb with a group of other girls. Sonia sulks around her parents’ Paris apartment like any adolescent who has been grounded. She pulls up a video on Ansar at-Tawhid, a French-language channel linked to isis “Heaven Will Wait,” which was released in France last month. Some thirty per cent of French citizens who are radicalized today are women, according to the government. In September, three young women were arrested in Paris after attempting to stage a car bombing near Notre Dame. Mention-Schaar drew much of the material for her film from the work of Dounia Bouzar, an anthropologist and former youth educator who has become known in France, sometimes with a note of derision, as “Madame De-indoctrination.” Bouzar had been working with young women for years, in cultural organizations and through child-protection services, when she began to notice that some were developing relationships with jihadist recruiters on the Internet. “Heaven Will Wait” tells the parallel stories of two girls drawn from Bouzar’s files. (Bouzar plays herself in the film). Sonia’s father is North African and her mother is French, but both are atheists, and both are at a loss to understand their daughter’s susceptibility to an apocalyptic vision of Islam. “If I die in Syria as a martyr, I can save seventy people from Hell—my parents, my little sister,” she tells them. The film’s second protagonist, Mélanie, is an earnest redhead who lives in a Paris suburb with her mother. When her grandmother passes away, Mélanie finds solace chatting with a mysterious figure on Facebook named Abu Hussein. He tells Mélanie that she is “special,” not like other girls, and Mélanie is enlivened by their growing intimacy. In a quest to please him, she begins to submit to his demands—over how she dresses, where she goes, to whom she speaks. Mention-Schaar shaped the characters of Sonia and Melanie around expert findings on “djihad au féminin.” Girls who become radicalized are often good students from middle-class or lower-middle-class families. Like Mélanie, they are often raised by divorced parents or in non-traditional family structures. (The sociologist Farhad Khosrokhavar has theorized that such backgrounds may lead some young women to fantasize about a jihadist as an “ideal husband,” committed to the sanctity of family.) The young women are also often, like Mélanie, converts from Catholic, Jewish, and atheist families. One of the most publicized cases: a young woman, known in France under the pseudonym Léa, who was caught planning to bomb a synagogue near Lyon. "I don’t want to scare you, but we are hearing about six new women per week." |

Kinda sad that Tours has been forgotten in France........... even worse that the world totally forgot the battle that really halted Muslim expansion in western Europe....... the battle of Toulouse in 721 AD........... Duke Odo (Eudes) of Aquitaine defeated a force of 100,000 Muslims while they laid siege to Toulouse and inflicted 80,000 casualties....... Muslim historians inflate the number to 375,000, lol........ anyways they muzzles called the place "Balat Al Shuhada" (plateau of the martyrs) for centuries afterwards...

These things happen when you encourage hedonism. People grow up in it and find out it's very empty, so they turn to something that provides rules order structure and stability to their lives. Since they've grown up being told Christianity is a scourge, Islam is a logical alternative.

The West is empty. That can't last.
Not long ago we found out that 25% of high school students in France are now Muslim. The cure for that, according to European members here, is assimilation. How is that assimilation going? Who is assimilating who? At first glance, the freedom and wealth of the West seems like it would win, hands down. Is it? |

I personally I think this will lead to some sort of genocide against Muslims/mass deportation or they will be overrun and Europe will be lost and America will be the last bastion of freedom and western civilization.
I am leaning towards the latter. |

These young girls want Father figures. Even the Lashings and rapings will probably feel appropriate for awhile for kids with Low self esteem.
Then one day they will wake up, assuming they dont blow themselves up before that, and wonder what in hell they got themselves into. Or they might actually fall in love with a boy and end up getting stoned for cheating on Long Beard. I dont know WTF these Europeans are thinking. How can they think this is a good idea? |

The global caliphate will turn the minds of the young to it's control and breed the Infidel out of existence. Once Europe is under control, they will venture Westward until all the world is under Islam. They will not use armies as in the past. The strategy has changed but the end game is still clear. The caliphate will evolve to meet the goal. We are seeing this in real time. The caliphate never stopped. The Crusades did however. Now is the time to fight, push back and bring forth the Kingdom of Heaven by the edge of the sword. A new Crusade is indeed needed.

Never heard of PJmedia but saw this today https://pjmedia.com/trending/2016/12/15/shocking-video-muslim-immigrants-ban-women-from-entire-neighborhoods-in-france/ Shocking Video: Muslim Immigrants Ban Women from Entire Neighborhoods in France
BY MICHAEL VAN DER GALIEN DECEMBER 15, 2016 "A documentary produced by French news channel France 2 has caused a major controversy in the land of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. The reason? The news channel sent a couple of female undercover journalists to neighborhoods and cities in France with large Muslim populations to see with their own eyes how women were treated in them. The results were downright shocking. The women were told that they were not welcome in just about every single shop or café they visited in Saint-Denis. They were told to go home... and stay there. Of course, they were allowed to go outside, but then only if they were wearing a burqa." |

Jihadists adapting their TTPs New York Times By ADAM NOSSITER
DECEMBER 14, 2016 STRASBOURG, France — "One was a well-liked elementary school assistant. Another was a hard-working cargo handler. The third was a friendly grocer. They were longtime friends in their quiet suburban neighborhood, and they joked with teenagers and greeted children with a smile. Yet in the early hours of Nov. 20 agents from France’s internal security agency swooped down, plucking the three and one other from their apartments, charging them with plotting a terrorist attack, and locking them up in a prison outside Paris. Here was a new type of terrorism arrest: decently paid men in their 30s giving no warning signs of radicalization — no beards, no robes, no proselytizing. And unlike many troubled youths in Paris and Brussels who have latched onto the Islamic State, they did not live on the margins. They had stable jobs and no previous brushes with drugs or crime. It is their sheer normalcy that has had a thoroughly unsettling effect on the authorities and residents alike." |
