More bad news for France - it seems a large part of the increase in voters was due to the Mooslims banding together and registering to vote against Sarkozy, who called them “scum” during last year’s riots and wants to run them out of France.

If Sarkozy is defeated, the Decline And Fall Of Gaul will proceed at breakneck speed, thanks to millions of Mooslims living off of state welfare, burning down the cities when the mood strikes them and socialism for all.

The future of Europe may be decided on May 6 when the runoff elections take place. Will it be the beginning of Socialist Eurabia? This bears watching closely - from a distance ... a great distance.

France’s Ghettos Hope to Beat Sarkozy
_{CLICHY-SOUS-BOIS, France - April 23, 2007, 2:24 PM EDT}

Many blacks and Muslims in the troubled neighborhoods ringing French cities voted for the first time, saying they were motivated by one desire: to stop law-and-order, tough-on-immigrants Nicolas Sarkozy from becoming president.

Sarkozy, the front-runner after Sunday’s first round of voting, is deeply unpopular in housing projects populated largely by second- and third-generation immigrants, many of them Muslims from former colonies in North Africa who live mired in poverty and joblessness.

Voters in several poor districts favored Segolene Royal, the Socialist campaigning to be France’s first woman president. She was second in the overall vote, finishing ahead of 10 other candidates and earning a spot in a May 6 runoff election against the conservative Sarkozy.

Sarkozy’s campaign has been haunted by his use of the word “scum” to describe young delinquents days before widespread riots erupted in 2005 in the bleak suburbs on the outskirts of the country’s cities. Some youths took Sarkozy’s comment as a declaration of war.

“If Sarkozy wins, there will certainly be riots here in Clichy and all over France,” said Mohammed Saidi, a first-time voter who was born in Morocco. The 43-year-old electrician and father of four voted in Clichy-sous-Bois, where the riots broke out and spread nationwide. Another first-time voter, 20-year-old Fatma Celik, said that if Sarkozy wins the runoff May 6, “people are going to go crazy here.”

Sarkozy has reached out to minorities by promoting a policy akin to affirmative action. But many in France’s housing projects—and beyond—despise the tough police tactics he instituted as interior minister, his uncompromising language and his sometimes roughly executed drive to send illegal immigrants home.

The favorite in poor neighborhoods was Royal, who casts herself as a maternal figure in sharp contrast to Sarkozy’s law enforcer image. Final results nationwide gave Sarkozy 31 percent of the votes to Royal’s 25 percent, but she won more than 40 percent in towns like Clichy-sous-Bois and others where Sarkozy’s sometimes abrasive rhetoric touched a nerve.

Voter registration was up throughout France, rising 3.3 million to a total of 44.5 million voters, and few areas experienced as dramatic a rise as the poor suburbs. In Seine-Saint-Denis, the rough region where Clichy-Sous-Bois is located, registration rose 8.5 percent—more than twice the average nationwide increase of 4.2 percent, the Interior Ministry said.

After the riots, suburban neighborhoods were targeted by an extensive voter registration campaign as one way of drawing in young minorities who feel France has never accepted them.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
