Far-left presidential candidate Philippe Poutou is blaming French politics for the deadly attack on Paris’ Champs-Elysees…..Poutou, a car-factory worker backed by anti-capitalist party NPA, says the roots of extremist attacks are neither in mosques nor migrant camps.

In Poutou’s mind, the roots of jihad attacks can be found in Western prejudice, discrimination and exploitation. He blames the victim for jihad attacks, ignoring 1,400 years of bloody conquest and brutality committed in the name of Islam, and also ignoring the captured internal Muslim Brotherhood document that calls upon Muslims to infiltrate Western civilization and sabotage it, in order to bring it to its knees.

The more the absurd statements of Leftists such as Poutou are taken seriously and left unchallenged, the more Westerners will be worn down and weakened in the face of their worst enemies. And so it was a good sign that French Prime Minister Manuel Valls was “cursed and jeered in public” when he said that “times have changed and we should learn to live with terrorism.” Politicians and leaders of this ilk need to be called out and ridiculed for such statements. Better yet, they need to be voted out, for the survival of the free world.
