Val says honestly we have a fight we must start now against the ideas some have about Muslims, refugees and anyone who does not fit into our idea of "people like us"
We cannot afford to let the racist faction win, remember the second world war and the treatment of Jews. Do not believe it could not happen again, it could and you would not want to be one who sits idly at the side of these injustices and horrors.
The National Front is quite strong and gaining members through out France with the local National Front taking the Prefect of Tarn and Garonne to court for allowing him to use the old gendarmerie at Bruniquel for refugees. They have no chance of winning, it is a gesture of their hate.
Below a plea from a young Muslim who lost 3 family members in the Nice attack.
A young French Muslim woman who lost three family members in the July 14 jihadist attack on Nice made an impassioned plea on Monday not to confuse the Islamic faith with terrorism.
Yasmine Bouzegan Marzouk, 21, told a national ceremony in tribute to the French victims of terror attacks that they were carried out by "barbarians who do not follow the law, faith or religion".
"On July 14th, this national holiday, our lives were changed forever," she added, her voice breaking with emotion as tears streamed down her face.
"We are from a Muslim family and no one should make the link (between Islam and the attacks)," she said.
Bouzegan Marzouk, who herself survived the attack, recalled how one of her relatives, 13-year-old Mehdi Hachadi, was crushed under the wheels of the truck that sped through the crowd on the Nice waterfront.
