“The Country Is In A Mess!” Macron Sees Off Far-Right Threat But Dilutes His Power

The French left said it wanted to run the government but conceded on that talks would be tough and take time, after Sunday's election thwarted the far right's quest for power but delivered a hung parliament.
Many of France's allies breathed a sigh of relief after Marine Le Pen's National Rally (RN) failed to win the snap election called by President Emmanuel Macron.
But with the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) alliance, hastily assembled before the election, unexpectedly coming first but far from an absolute majority, the election heralded a period of volatility and possible gridlock.
Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan discusses the results with author at The Spectator Gavin Mortimer.

Sounds like they want to replace disbelievers with believers. Islam has many verses talking about replacing disbelievers forexample: Sahih Muslim 1767a, It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim. And Quran 6:6 "Have they not seen how many ˹disbelieving˺ peoples We destroyed before them? We had made them more established in the land than you. We sent down abundant rain for them and made rivers flow at their feet. Then We destroyed them for their sins and replaced them with other peoples."

@muhadbarre1821 Ай бұрын

Your quotation could be right or wrong, nevertheless, when Quran was revealed the disbelievers it was talking were Arabs rejecters of prophet's message, who were also wagging war against him. In 7th century nobody was talking neither Europe or North America. Try not to excite those whom you think will harm poor Muslims like Gaza Muslims.
