Back in January, Hungarian leader Viktor Orban called French leader Emmanuel Macron a “leader of the pro-migration forces” and stated “if what he wants with regards to migration materializes in Europe, that would be bad for Hungary, therefore I must fight him.”

Orban is known as “one of the most vociferous opponents” of Muslim immigration, and he has openly sought to protect his country’s Christian culture and democracy from Islamization, taking the path opposite to that of Emmanuel Macron. The tragic burning of the Notre Dame cathedral has been seen by many to be symbolic of the slow burning, destruction, and doom of French culture, and along with it, its democratic rule of law. Macron made things worse by his grossly insensitive suggestion to restore the Gothic Cathedral not to its former glory, but to reflect “diversity.”

Now, out of the blue, Macron “has vowed an ‘intractable’ fight against ‘political Islam,’ which he said seeks secession from the French Republic.” Something very strange is going on with Macron in his sudden U-turn from full multicultural appeasement to condemning “political Islam” and seeking to protect the “French Republic.” One must remember that Sharia is divine law in normative Islam, and to try to divorce politics from Islam renders one an apostate. Macron has therefore in effect rebuked and condemned normative Islam. This sudden flip-flop by Macron is likely due to upcoming elections in May; polls show that he is neck-and-neck with anti-globalist Marine LePen, who has risen in popularity due to her stance on Muslim migration. The revolt of the yellow vests is another headache for Macron. If France’s culture is to be saved from Islamization, the French public will do well to vote out Macron despite his posturing about “political Islam,” a threat he has chosen to ignore all along, right up until election time.
