Muslim immigrants will find it more difficult to obtain French citizenship

Seems to me to be a bit late in the game. But maybe better late then never. It will really be interesting to see how this pans out.  For the sake of France, I hope it works well and to their benefit. But I tend towards pessimism in today’s world.  I don’t think much of politicians anywhere, I tend to not even trust the ones I think I like.

According to the media here, French president Sarkozy has dropped a lot in popularity and some are saying he might not survive the next election.

I don’t follow much in French politics and I’ll be honest.  All I do know which isn’t a lot, I have learned only from Brit newspapers and radio news.  Which is hardly serious research.  So it’s really more superficial info.
However, every now and then I do run across other sources, like this one from Stonegate. I haven’t posted the entire article but it’s worth a read.

I still have a raging cough and cold bug, back on antibiotics so this is my only post today.

I wish the French much good luck but …… once they opened those pc gates to hell, I think it could be all over except the jihad, which happened by stealth.

France’s Tottery Effort to Reverse Creeping Islamization
by Soeren Kern

Muslim immigrants will find it more difficult to obtain French citizenship from now on.

New citizenship rules that entered into effect on January 1, 2012 will require all applicants to pass exams on French culture and history and also to prove that their French language skills are equivalent to those of a 15-year-old native speaker. Moreover, candidates seeking French citizenship will be required to pledge allegiance to “French values.”

The new measures—drawn up by Interior Minister Claude Guéant—are part of a concerted effort by the French government to push back against the Islamization of France.

Muslim applicants make up the majority of the 100,000 people who are naturalized as French citizens each year; there is also rising frustration that the country’s estimated 6.5 million Muslims are not integrating into French society.

Guéant has said that immigrants who refuse to assimilate should be denied French citizenship.

According to Guéant, a member of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s ruling UMP party, the citizenship process should be “a solemn occasion between the host nation and the applicant” and that immigrants should be integrated through language and “an adherence to the principals, values and symbols of our democracy.”

From now on, applicants for French citizenship will also be required to sign a new charter establishing their rights and responsibilities. Drafted by France’s High Council for Integration (HCI), the charter reads: “Becoming French is not a mere administrative step. It is a decision that requires a lot of thought … applicants will no longer be able to claim allegiance to another country while on French soil.” The new rules, however, will not affect dual nationality, which will still be allowed.

Separately, Guéant also announced a proposal to require non-French children born in France who would normally be automatically naturalized at the age of 18 to formally apply for citizenship.

In addition, Guéant announced plans to reduce the number of legal immigrants coming to France annually from 200,000 to 180,000 and has called for those convicted of a felony to be expelled from the country.

The new citizenship requirements form part of a larger government effort to reverse decades of multicultural policies that have encouraged the establishment of a parallel Muslim society in France.

In February 2011, Sarkozy denounced multiculturalism as a failure and said Muslims must assimilate into the French culture if they want to be welcomed in France. In a live-broadcast interview with French Channel One television, Sarkozy said: “I do not want a society where communities coexist side by side …

France will not welcome people who do not agree to melt into a single community.

We have been too busy with the identity of those who arrived and not enough with the identity of the country that accepted them.”

STONEGATE SOURCE

Question.  So will France be allowed to deport those who don’t want to be citizens?  Unlikely.

But the biggest threat to France that I see is many who will become citizens. And then vote. And that’s the point at which you can start the count down to the demise of what was once a great country. Whatever their faults they were once a great country. Whatever their supposed faults, they weren’t stone age.

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.
