ISLAM Belongs in two places back in the 7th Century and as far away as possible from Western Civilization 🇬🇧

I am not a fan of Macron but pretty disgraceful other leaders have not offered their support especially the British government after what happened in Reading.

Conclusion: we live in a time of political cowards☑️

This is a Particularly good example of two highly knowledgeable gentleman having an in depth discussion. How refreshing.

Its mad to think Macron is the only one standing up against Islamic extremism But is he doing it to fend off Le Penn or does he actually mean it? 🤔

Exactly what happens when you import your enemy

I hope Douglas Murray will have a show on GB News when it launches.

As a Dane. I am ashamed of the silence. The freedom of Europe are under serious pressure.

“Clearly, a civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself.” ― Jean-François Revel

As Churchill said " Its akin to feeding the crocodile , in the hope he eats you last" . ☺

Douglas Murray speaks with the greatest wisdom, objectivity and remarkable insight, and what makes Douglas especially relevant is his unique ability to convey his views so articulately. The man is a genius.

I'm fed up with hearing DOUGLAS MURRAY let JOHNSON off the hook, by making excuses for him. WAKE UP, Douglas! Your Prime Minister is deliberately DESTROYING the UK economy, and ensuring that 'BREXIT' is not honoured. Perhaps Dominic Cummings has realised this; and has not wished to be associated with the sheer treachery this implies.

The french Canadians were extremely embarrassed by Trudeau's statement. At least, our own Quebec prime minister made a statement in complete disagreement with Trudeau's statement and in complete support to France.

All our leaders are scared stiff of being treated like Salmond Rushdie.The backbone of our leaders has gone.Ask the people what they think and take note.

I suppose Macron should treat France's Muslims the way China is treating their Uighurs. We don't hear complaints about that from Islamic leaders.

On Wednesday 21 March 2017 Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said: "So long as they keep up their attitude towards Muslims, Westerners across Europe should not expect to walk safely on the streets."

we are tolerating the intolerant

About time someone in Western Europe grew some balls...

Douglas Murray is the only Conservative I have any faith in. The gutless party led by a simp is now a total embarrassment. The Tories lack the courage to be Conservative.

A lot of cowards out there

Douglas Murray is always a beacon of light. Such as pleasure to listen to.

Marie Le penn will sort all this out

when you catch a radical repat whole family every last one of them it takes a village to raise a child cut out the rotten wood and save the tree

Turky is not a part of Europe.

And the Norte dame fire was electrical?

Once again the EU demonstrates its disunity vividly. “A house divided against itself shall surely fall.”

At first I didn't like Macron but now I am ashamed of Boris for not backing him.

Andrew is amazing and Douglas a ferociously intelligent and well-versed man. Love the Spectator

I'm not going to drool over Macrons "stunning bravery". It's an ass covering exercise because LePenn is around.... his popularity is on shaky ground on so many levels....

Tbh boris johnson has no backbone. Not fit to lead needs replacing.

If only the politicians who opened up immigration into the UK from Islamic countries had read the Koran then they could have foreseen the lamentable situation we are now in.

Macron doesn't want people deserting him for Le Pen, so he's posing like hell. It's only hot air. (Also: It's ISLAM. Not 'Islamism', or 'extremism', or anything else, just theologically pure Islam.)

The argument for tolerance of an intolerant belief system beggars belief in a modern society that believes in logical thinking.

Imagine how things would of been if Le Penn had of gotten in.

There is an old door security philosophy that applies here for all of the countries looking the other way and playing nice. Stop trouble at the door, if you let trouble in and hope it will play nicely when you ask it to leave once it has become comfortable and confident - the fight will be twice as bad when it does come. And it will always come.

...enormous shame... this is the best description of how the allies respond

I'm not sure the honky- tonk piano music was a fitting coda to this Islamic extremism piece.

Macron fears Le Pen... but she’s coming whatever he does or says.

Streams of blood lead to rivers

Im not a fan of Macron, but he's shown that he has a backbone, and I respect him on this anti islamist stance!

I do believe that Macron is standing up for french values genuinely, however, it must be on his mind that it’s less than 2 years until the next election and doesn’t want to lose ground to Marine Le Pen

Maybe Boris should give Macron a little more support on this. Extend a hand of friendship at an important time?

No borders no nations.

Thank you both for your wisdom.

Damn Douglas you looking fresh!

I am absolutely in agreement with you. It is time that some of our leaders recognize that some of the religions are not able to conform to Democracy and the right for freedom of speech and personal responsibility of Religious groups, and that we all have to allow people their own opinions. Even Atheists. I also recognize that our countries are having to deal with people who believe they don't have to be responsible. To cut off a women's head because she spoke to here students about a cartoon is absolutely too far. That is Human Rights violations. To see our countries of democracies being treated as such is a unforgiveable sin of the our leaders. You cannot mix these extremists with Law abiding, caring people. The two don't mix. This lack of insight is causing huge unsettledness. Thank you for speaking on this outrageous subject. CDH

What exactly is France or any other northern European countries going to do about this. They are going to do nothing as usual. They are all talk and no action.

Douglas Murray is the Best

France stands alone like 1500 years ago. Viva le france

Well done to Macron. He is showing he is the only western leader who actually cares about his citizens.

What we've got are politicians; what we need are statesmen/women.

Macron should be cleaning this mess up, he's part of the reason it exists.

The time for listening, compassion, middle ground, and new testament "turning the other cheek" is over. These kowtowing, wet noodle politicians need to be shown a quick exit. Sadly, nothing will change until the house of cards collapse.

douglas table light reflection form this angle is a fascinating optical illusion.

Douglas Murray doing a Benjamin Button

All of you are delirious.

Douglass is looking absolutely buff these days.

I am a committed Brexiteer but also love to visit France and enjoy their culture and cuisine and don’t look forward to an homogenous Europe vive la difference. France and the U.K. need to control immigration not stop it.

Thank you gents, great vid..

Good discussion

Douglas speaks very well on this, but he's still missing the elephant in the room. Demographics are shifting drastically with Islam growing exponentially; if we don't get on top of the changing demographic trends, we've got no hope.

Europe is a melting pot ready to implode on itself orchestrated by this video's subject matter.

Hope Murray makes a guest visit on GB News some day

First time I’ve ever heard of Macron doing something I like! 🇫🇷 🇬🇧

Douglas is on a “Come and See” excursion as he subversively gathers research for his next book, “The Strange Death of America”.

Macron needs to look for backing from Poland and Hungary on this.

An excellent discussion with clarity and knowledge.

Douglas Murray is Brilliant and only Brilliant. Thank you. Speaks only the truth

Mr Neil a cheap lapel mic would go along way to improve your sound.

Isn't this with Macron, a case of too "little" too late? That maybe he's likely to come up a "little" "short*? Could he be acting just a "tiny" bit disingenuous and likely to do only a "miniscule" amount of work on this? Maybe he just doesn't have a "long enough reach" ? 😜

Mr Murry is the only one on spectator who talks sense at the moment.

You would not allow people in your home to run things their way and move things around to suit them , remember to most people their country is their home ! All they want is to live in peace with everyone !

Frexit.

I’m disgusted Germany hasn’t given France any support in this matter. Europe should be standing united against these extremist Islamists.

Why can't we have in the British Parliament people like these two gentlemen instead of the driftwood which lolls about in the Commons without an original thought in their heads

Norway is a little country - but I am SO ashamed of the lack of standing together for freedom of speech.

Where does Douglas live? In Westminster Abbey?

Islamist (Taliban) quote - "You have the watches, but We have the time".....slowly, slowly!

Beautiful bookcase in Andrew's background.

Very sensible and well reasoned interview. I agree with Douglas Murray’s assessment of the situation and applaud the interviewer for not cutting him off and actually listening to him... as happens in some other interviews/debates.

Macron is finally waking up...i might end up liking him

Educate yourself, read the biography of Momo, then you can grasp the qur'an (remembering that the medina part abrogates the meccan) the tafsirs explains the qur'an verses, the hadiths are the words and actions of Momo, if the believers say they don't believe in the hadiths, one simple question you ask them "do you pray 5 times a day" if the answer is "yes" then they follow the hadiths. Islam is an ideology....and must be treated as such.

Douglas Murray has a better grasp of international affairs than most politicians. He is spot on in this video regarding Islamist extremism and those political forces who benefit from it. Can you think of any politicians who has laid out the dilemma so clearly as this? As for Macron, he is fighting alone, and he should be supported by all the countries who extol the values of Western Civilization. Islamic terrorism is striking at our core values everywhere, not only in France. Why should we be timid about asserting the virtue of our values and their primacy in the West. If you want to live in France or any other Western country, you must adopt our culture and its values. Period. Trudeau's effete rationalizations don't cut it.

For Boris Johnson to back up France and Macron, he first needs to ask Carrie for his balls back.

Douglas Murray is the hottest guy on the planet. LERVE him! xoxoxo

Not wishing to seem trite, but Douglas looks younger now that he did 10 years ago. What's his secret?

It’s the unrequired enemy within.

Douglas Murray is the last journalist standing.

They should not have left Algeria.

When is the rest of Europe including UK, not backing him? Shame...

They haven't gone away and they aren't finished yet. The worst is yet to come.

Divide and Conquer.

Why does Douglas M look really young all of a sudden? He was looking older there for a while. Is it just the lighting?

Neil lost credibility following US elections, Murray is excellent as ever

Dear Douglas is it Firenze or Bologna outside of your window?

Well David, with all due respect, we actually CAN read a politician's heart. They all care ONLY about their power and position. Period.

Andrew - big fan, but please do something about the sound quality.

It is Europe's curse or blessing that it should border Africa and that it should be near proximity to the Middle East. The fact remains that as long as Europe remains relatively rich and in comparison to the other two, it is, it will be an attraction to migrants. Were I from Somalia, I'd do my best to get out and reach Italy, it is really as simple as that. What would help in slowing migration is for Africa and the ME to improve their economies

We British have a strange relationship with France. I have come to the conclusion when talking to French people, mainly French ladies I must admit, that they think us British have our heads stuck up our own rectums, maybe that's just me? I am a fan of history and being Scottish take cognizance of the fact that British powers that be, shit themselves when the French Revolution took off. Needless to say, that went a bit OTT. Well done Macron, bullys need to be stood up against, otherwise, it just gets worse, Listen to Douglas quite a lot these days, coming from a Glasgow working-class background shows me how things are panning out.

He created the SAME problem he is trying to fix. Why should anyone care?
