America should look to Europe — if, for nothing else, a grim glimpse of where the dark road of islamisation will take us. It appears Sarkozy is taking a page from Wilders’ playbook.
France Takes in Islam, The Deportations Have Started Islam in action
A few months ago when French President Nicholas Sarkozy announced that burqas were not welcome in France, I had a feeling that was just a small step in France’s battle with Islam. Now more of the saving France from Islam plan has been revealed.
France to launch national pride campaign in battle against Islamic fundamentalism
By PETER ALLEN
27th October 2009
France is to adopt a series of measures to ‘reaffirm pride’ in the country and combat Islamic fundamentalism.
They include everybody receiving lessons in the nation’s Christian history and children singing the national anthem.

Using words which infuriated ethnic minority groups and Socialist opponents, immigration minister Eric Besson also said he wanted ‘foreigners to speak better French’.
He called for all recent arrivals to be monitored by ‘Republican godfathers’, charged with helping immigrants to integrate better.
His proposed measures contrast sharply with the situation in Britain where ‘citizenship education’ centres on multicultural diversity.
M Besson, who was born in the former French protectorate of Morocco, suggested a debate on national identity’ entitled ‘What does it mean to be French?’
He also reignited the debate about face and body-covering Muslim veils, saying they should definitely be banned.
As well as providing civic lessons for adults – including classes about the country’s Christian history and liberal political institutions – the government will encourage school children to sing the national anthem at least once a year.
His proposed measures contrast sharply with the situation in Britain where ‘citizenship education’ centres on multicultural diversity and the European Union, while ‘God Save The Queen’ is not even taught in schools.
In an interview broadcast on national TV, Mr Besson said : ‘It’s necessary to reaffirm the values of national identity and the pride of being French.
‘I think, for example, that it would be good for all young French people to have the chance to sing The Marseillaise at least once a year.’
Making clear that radical Islam was a threat, Mr Besson said: ‘In France, the nation and the republic remain the strongest ramparts against … fundamentalist tendencies. France is diversity, and France is unity.’
Mr Besson defended a decision to send illegal Afghan immigrants – all of them Muslim – back to Kabul on charter flights organised in conjunction with the British government last week, saying there would be many more.
More than 21,000 people have been deported from France this year – with 27,000 the ultimate target, said Mr Besson.
He also reignited the debate about face and body-covering Muslim veils, saying they should definitely be banned.
‘For me, there should be no burqas on the street,’ said Mr Besson. ‘The burqa is against national values – an affront to women’s rights and equality.’
