Niki Raapana on Marine Le Pen, Communitarianism, 2017

Niki Raapana, co-author with Nordica Friedrich, of "2020: Our Common Destiny & The Anti Communitarian Manifesto" .. ACL Books, Alaska USA ... http://nord.twu.net/acl ... writes: "on Communitarianism is at the heart of the French presidential election! I love it that neither candidate likes it. And no matter what I think about Le Pen, she MADE it a central issue, she put the term out there over and over for ALL the world to see, and she forced her opponent to say something I've never seen in my entire 17 years of covering communitarianism. I'm getting excited about the rewrite for the Saudis.
This is the LA Times. Does that mean it's real now? lol

“The trap in which you are falling, Mme. Le Pen, with your provocations, is to divide society, that is to say that the more than 4 million Frenchmen and Frenchwomen whose religion is Islam and who are, for the vast majority, absolutely not into communitarianism, to make them out to be enemies of the republic.
“Well not me! … Don’t divide the French over this. Let’s be pragmatic and responsible.”

“The truth is there has been a rise of Islamist fundamentalism in our country for some years. If we don’t say it, then we are refusing to face reality.… So not only must we promote secularism, but we must fight against communitarianism.…
“You don’t want to see the seriousness of what is happening. The fact remains that a few years ago there were no burkinis on the beaches.”
