Will Terror Attack Lead Le Pen to Victory in France?
Posted On 21 Apr 2017
Another Islamic terror attack struck Paris on Thursday night when a man named Karim Cheurfi opened fire on police officers, killing one before being taken out of existence himself. The attack, which occurred in the shadow of the famous Arc du Triumph on the Champs-Elysees, could have a significant impact on the upcoming French presidential election – the first round of which is to be held Sunday.
The attack brought an early end to the campaign, but the images of another Islamist attack in a country that has dealt with more than their fair share of them could put National Front nominee Marine Le Pen in prime position to score a stunning political upset. Le Pen, who is a hard-liner on immigration, refugees, and terrorism, is facing 11 challengers, none of whom share her ideology – which could reasonably be called “France First.”
“Because our country is at war, the response must be global, total,” Le Pen said Friday in a statement that included criticism of current President Francois Hollande. She called Hollande’s approach to terrorism “weak” and “inadequate.”
Le Pen is already the front-runner, and the attack could be enough to secure her a spot in the May 7 runoff election.
With a body count of only one, Thursday’s terror attack would not ordinarily tip the scales of a national election. But the death of a Parisian police officer was another reminder of the (far more deadly) attacks the country has suffered over the last two years: The assault on Charlie Hebdo in January 2015, the Bataclan concert hall attack of November 2015, and the truck massacre in Nice last December.
ISIS claimed responsibility for Thursday’s shooting, calling the shooter a soldier in their jihad.
On Friday, President Trump tweeted that the attack would likely “have a big effect on the presidential election.”
Whether Le Pen can overcome the odds and actually win the whole shebang in May or not, it’s clear that France cannot afford to keep treating Islamic terrorism as a problem that will eventually resolve itself. Le Pen isn’t the only candidate promising to take a harsher approach to the scourge of terrorism, but her ideological credentials are more believable than most.
At some point, voters in France and other European countries are going to have to make a choice: Continue throwing the doors open to every shady Muslim refugee who darken their borders…or stand up for their own security.
If Le Pen is NOT elected there will be 3 new muslim nuclear powers in about 10 years.
Iran, France and Britain!
Don’t expect the frogs to choose correctly. They need a real rude awakening to get it and they soon will but it might be too late. Last November the people of this country got it right and elected a leader that actually loves this country. Hopefully it works out for the French but I have some doubts.
Agreed!
They’ll have to get their heads out of their A$$es rid themselves of their White Hankies, first.
George B., I agree we got it right with President Trump. However the Lib and RINO politicians are throwing up constant road blocks. I just hope the people will understand that change might not happen as soon as we had expected or wished. We supporters need to elect some better Legislature members to help him-not block him.
Not to worry Mary we the people all whom voted for Trump will watch is back!!! We did a good deed for AMERICA & the people..
I hope in the 2018 elections we will began the task of cleaning House (and Senate)!
One can only hope & pray, we get our country back on track!!!
correction!**his back
What do you do with roadblocks when it means life or death? Your answer is as good as mine, and possibly the same..
Eliminate the road blocks . Why do you think Trump goes to Florida ,no road blocks and he can get some work done .
Yes, my answer is definitely the same!
AMEN, Mary… they have a LOT of seat up to defend, another chance to get rid of even more of them… they no longer represent American citizens.
Would you know just how many Republican and Democratic seats are up for election in 2018? I found those numbers once but can’t find those now!
33 Mary, with the dems defending 25 of them = https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Congress_elections,_2018
If France elects Le Pen, Germany will follow with a like candidate.
I don’t know if the attack will lead to a Le Pen victory or not, but if it will get rid of those weenie leftist bed wetters that’ve been running France for lo these many years, I wish her well.
Le Pen is France’s only hope for salvaging a sane future.
Absolutely!!
France simply needs to look at the huge mistake in the US … and DO NOT elect the idiot pinhead Le Pen……….
Exactly what “mistake” ARE YOU REFERRING TO? getting rid OF A muslime princess so-called “president” AND voting a REAL MAN into the office of the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES that has a set of BALLS?
You must be one of those “poor little snowflakes” Go to your “safe space”, get out your coloring books, hot cocoa, play-dough, and watch a “REAL COMMANDER IN CHIEF” OPERATE.
Did you forget to take you meds today pappy?
Just read the posts below from Anouk AND Angry American you “poor little liberal communist snowflake” Cuba might be a good choice also. You would fit right in.
You are certainly an jerk first class. Venezuela would be a perfect place for you to move.
Be ready to be waiting in line for a roll of a toilet paper and a loaf of bread.
Ignorance is a bliss in your case.
wtf is with you and Venezuela? Is that your friggin homeland? If so go back…..and enjoy the lifestyle………it is pinhead like you that need to move out……….this country would be so much better
Are you some sort of a clown or comedian. Whatever you are you have no brain.
Oh Leon…….did you miss your nap today? You should not do that…..your clearly feeble brain needs the rest You strike me as a delusional idiot who falls for any and everything that psychotic idiot Trump says…… Has it come to this Leon? Has it? Have you given up on reality in order to follow the clown price himself? What cha gonna do when that the clown is impeached and is in jail (yeah maybe white collar jail….but jail nonetheless…..) – what cha gonna do Leon? Give your head a shake and wake up….it isn’t too late….
So, what are you waiting for leaving this country and move to Venezuela.
OH! And take Obo, Soros, Hillary with you! Such a bunch of rotten jerks.
Let me add a couple of words to your post, PLease Leave
lol…what does a box of rocks say if they could talk?
You are a mental midget and have the capacity to understand nothing but what a bunch of losers think.
Oh look another idiot who forgot to take his meds…………………
Ooooo, lol….you really hurt me with that old one. You should work on your material, but that would mean you would need an IQ higher than your shoe size. Liston bingo, we don’t care about your liberal bull crap or your life in general. If I knew where you where I’d use you for target practice and feed you to the coyotes.
Whoa, don’t poison the coyotes!
You can’t poison those mutts, they have cast iron stomachs. Not much of a coyote lover, but they do a good job of cleaning up the carrion.
Takes one to THINK they know one consider your posts BLOCKED.
Too bad you were not blocked before your initial diatribe of BS pappy
It’s time every country starts taking these Islam lunatics serious and understand they intend to invade every country and impose their insanity, we are fortunate we have a President that understands this but also unfortunate that his opposing party the democrats want just the opposite and constantly delay all his attempts to stop it with their utter stupidity believing that Refugees and illegals will all become democrats once they are here and vote for them forgetting or not caring the harm or destruction they inflict on the people that actually belong here we the People.
There is no more Democrat party. It became a Communist party.
Their hate they have for America is so destructive.
Thank you President Trump for trying to save the America we love so much.
What you just said is only one (1) of the reasons I will never vote for another dumbocrap JFK was the last time I voted for one. Which president from the past said that the democrats were the worst enemy of America?
Tough choice. Someone that wants to vet their immigration or a banker that wants more immigration. Hmmmm. I would go with less immigration. But I’m not a cheese eating surrender monkey.
If Marine Le Pen loses this election we can put the blame to the younger generation.
Emmanuel Macron is more of their ideal as president.
I wish good luck (merde) to Marine Le Pen. La belle France needs someone like her to survive.
The younger generation here in the USA has been BRAINWASHED by the LEFTIST LIBTURDS who have infiltrated our educational system from top to bottom. Sadly, I’d bet it’s the same in Frog country. Good luck to em but I wouldn’t bet the young know enough to help themselves. Re. “The Frog and the Scorpion.”
Very well said! Thanks for the reply.
And I also thank you for being well informed.
My pleasure!
I have always been thankful that I was born here in America & what has been happening there only makes me more thankful now than ever
Absolutely! I am a legal American citizen for 45 years and I love my country of choice very much.
If I were to judge all of today’s youth by the young folk I personally know, I would say our nation’s goose is already cooked! I just hope those I know are not representative of today’s youth!
Sad but true!
And now they are talking about lowering the voting age to 17. I think 18 is low enough and only agree with it as they are old enough to be drafted and die for our country, but I think it is better that they are 21 as they have had a short time to mature and work and get a better handle on things.
I think 21 would be better also. The young people I know seem so emotionally immature, lack decision-making and goal-setting skills,
Anouk, I am not well versed in the French language but noted after your “I wish good luck…. ” the word (merde). What is the meaning of the word? My reason for asking is that I’ve always been told that it is an insult. Would appreciate clarification. Please understand I am not challenging the use of the word, just want to know what it truly means, in your use of it. Thanks you.
The_Domo, The word “Merde” has different meanings and you are right it is used more as an insult, but also to wish someone “good luck.”
In my post above, of course I wanted to wish Marine Le Pen a “Merde Good Luck.”
In English “merde” could be translate as “Shit” 0r “bloody hell” which won’t be used for good luck of course.
Different languages, different meanings. It is very unusual when you have one word which has two very different meanings.
For example, we couldn’t translate an English joke in French or vice versa, the meanings of the words being completely different.
Have a great day! Bonne journee a vous.
In the immortal words of the Jack Benny’s announcer, the late Don Wilson, “It very well may!”
I would say anything that these rat terrorists do before the election only strengthens the french citizens resolve to deport all muslims. I would think it would go as far as running all no citizens out of there country. Go get them Marine, and bitch slap that traitor Merkel for us. Real americans are with you.
Too many cowards in France.
Too many cowards in the world also.
I agree.
They should have learned about INVASIONS in June 1940 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In 1944 they cheered for FREEDOM !!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom Clancy, Andrew Breitbart, and Michael Hastings were murdered because they had discovered the Saudis funding of Obama to place a Muslim terrorist in the White House , and the establishment of a caliphate and Shariah law , Tom Clancy was writing a novel about this very event when he was murdered by Obama’s jihad squad , Obama is a vile wretch who is still operating in conjunction with violent evil communazis to establish Lucifer’s “kingdom of God” on earth , the UN…..Obama was installed in office by Jesus because this nation has rejected Him therefore He gave them exactly the type of leader they wanted a homosexual,black supremacist Muslim terrorist, his administration was loaded with radical jihadists, and when Trump was installed the press has gone insane you are watching a media empire run by Lucifer and his Angels these devil possessed murderers will stop at nothing to get their way. Baltimore and Ferguson will blatant examples of state sponsored terrorism, the Boston Bombing, Sandy Hook, Aurora theater shooting, all of these were government sponsored Sands Hook was staged event , you cannot find any bodies ever removed from that school they were paid “crisis actors” Boston was the same thing many of the same actors there were found at Sandy Hook all which was tied to Fast and Furious to eliminate the 2nd Amendment and begin going after white Christians. ….the Stalinist civil rights movement calls for the systematic extermination of white people…state sponsored genocide…this is exactly what the black supremacist Egyptians did in enslaving and killing white people in Egypt…so great was their desire for genocide of whites Jesus himself came down to deliver white people from Lucifer it’s called the Passover….the same thing had been going on in this country for decades it has been an unwritten rule in the justice department for decades they will never prosecute a hate crim committed against a white person ….the blacks intimidating white voters with violence in Obama’s first election and the government exonerating them is irrefutable proof of this entrenched murderous bigotry Nazis employed Muslim terrorists under Hitler in WW2 Daddy Bush established the CIA under Hitlers mandate Daddy Bush absorbed much of the Waffen SS into the CIA the Nazi CIA has been behind all of the Muslim terrorism that has been going on ever since…the Bush’s, the Clinton’s, and the Obama’s are all CIA Trump is out to bring down the Bush and Clinton cabal….regardless war is coming to this nation because of Obama’s wickedness. ..it will not go unpunished…Jesus sent destroying Angels down to this nation from the beginning of Obama’s jihad in March of 2009 they are the Angels that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim and Zoar…..those cities were inhabited by blacks ….they were called Canaan it’s who were the brothers of the Ethiopians and the Egyptians. .. all sons of Ham ….the black race
Doesn’t the European Union kind of get the idea when all of the Arab countries doesn’t take in any of the “refugees”?
Maybe it will change the lives of what have become “cheese-eating surrender monkeys”.
NO – sorocrats are on the march with plenty of funding – Hell – even obozo made some calls……
Le Pen is mightier than Le Sword Of Terrorism…
The complexity of the population in Syria, its religions and people makes it a difficult country to rule. Assad has been doing a good job, but Western countries appear ignorant of the cultural mix and behaviour of the Muslims have joined the Rebels to remove him. . The refugees are demonstrating their true colors as they settle down in European countries or in camps where they are refused entry. Le Pen is right and it will only be a matter of time when France and other European countries will regret their actions in bringing down the Syrian Regime, for the Rebels and Terrorists are proving themselves smarter than the Western Alliance in using them to obtain their goal.
I hope the Best person for the postion wins-The person-Who can help-With the problems theyre having.
If France does not elect Le Pen then they are fools following the lead of the German Jew traitor Merkle!
Is Macron a Jew?
Je suis avec elle. I’m with her.
Moi aussi.
I hope and pray the terrorist attack propels her into office.
The French people have got to be sick and tired of spineless government.
Kind of like what we had with Obama! A useless P.O.S.
No, because the people are brainwashed just like half the people in America who think open borders is a great idea. Sure, let in all the so-called “refugees” with terrorists among them. You’d THINK that terrorist attacks would wise up the people, but apparently they’re too stupid. So we’ll see if they get smart.
I hope so, the people of France need someone who will support THEM.
Man – are you kidding me ! sorocrats are dumping money into the opposition like crazy……even obozo made calls….
A Le Pen victory will be the beast thing for France. Cutting the refugee numbers will be the next best thing.
Nah – sorocrats own france and are pouring big money there….
