Anti-immigration, anti-Islam French politician surging in the polls! (radical, death, terrorist)

Brexit, Trump, and now Fillon? This would be the second to final blow against liberals with only Merkel still standing.

He is apparently more populist and palatable to the general public than Le Pen.

Mr. Fillon described radical Islam as a “totalitarianism like the Nazis” to the cheers of an enthusiastic crowd, adding that France would need Russia’s help to fight it. Catholics, Protestants and Jews “don’t denounce the values of the Republic,” he thundered — unlike the faithful of a certain other religion.

For months, Mr. Fillon polled third and even fourth among presidential contenders in France and was largely dismissed. But his defense of French values and identity has suddenly made him the front-runner as France’s right-center Republican Party prepares to vote Sunday in a runoff to choose its standard-bearer in the 2017 elections — and quite possibly the next president of France.

As in the United States, the pollsters had failed to detect a hidden yearning for the restoration of a mythical older France, rural and dominated by the values of a conservative Roman Catholic Church.

It's good to see people in other countries come to their senses.

It's not that. It is simply a direct reaction to their present circumstance.

I am happy for the French people!

The last few years they have had several Islamic terrorist attacks, especially in Paris.

There kindness and charity was repaid with Islamic terror and death to the France citizens.

Islam does not assimilate, it dominates.

Either the native French will stay and prosper in France or the invasive Islam.
