It’s not skin colour per se that may elicit a negative reaction from Australians but a religion-driven culture that conflicts with Judeo-Christian culture. You may not enjoy this story, but you should know what it says. Warning: discomfort assured.
In 1966, when I arrived as a migrant, the Muslim population was very small, a few thousand at most; under 0.1% of the population, which was then 11.5 million, as I wrote on 13 May 2026.
By the time of the October 7 massacre of Jews in Israel in 2023, the Muslim population of Australia had grown to approximately 850,000–950,000, roughly 3.2–3.5% of the much larger population of almost 27 million, making Islam the second largest religion after Christianity. Post-2021 estimates for 2023–2026 often project continued growth toward or beyond 900,000 –1 million by the late-2020s, consistent with inter-census trends.”
Muslims are now a growing political force, with a party of their own: “The Muslim Vote is dedicated to empowering Australian Muslims in the electoral process.”
It is in this context that I now refer readers to a depressingly relevant article published 11 days after my report. Under the headline The Death of France – The Secret Report Macron Is Hiding, that article in Substack is part of an analytical series, Behind the Narrative, always signed off with “Much Love, Yama Bar”. It is worth reading in full – if you have the guts. Guts because it reveals in devastating, painful detail how France has been kicked out of its Judeo-Christian nest by a cuckoo culture. Guess which one … Here are a few snapshots from the article:
It sets the scene:
It’s a typical afternoon in Saint-Denis, the narrow streets packed with people whose faces you cannot see. The women move in niqab, shapes without features, eyes that do not meet yours. The shop signs are in Arabic, the smell of cumin and lamb fat rises from every doorway, thick and permanent, as if the street itself has been marinated in another world. From three directions at once, the call to prayer cuts through the air. Al-lahu Akbar. God is great. Come to prayer. Come to salvation.
Even the French police do not enter without backup. Ambulances request escorts before responding to calls. In the lost territories of Marseille, law enforcement officers disguise themselves as Muslims before making arrests. France’s own intelligence service has mapped 150 such districts across the country. A former senior official of French foreign intelligence put it in numbers: these enclaves exist in 859 cities, and four million people — six percent of France’s entire population — live inside them.
There was a time when Paris was the most romantic city in the world. You could stop on the banks of the Seine at dusk, buy a baguette and a bottle of wine from the corner shop, sit on the stone steps above the water, and feel, without irony, that life was generous, and civilization was real. The light on the river. The smell of bread. The sound of French — that particular music of a language that assumes beauty is worth the effort.
That Paris is gone. This is the story of how it fell. This is the story of the fall of France.
In April 2024, a classified document landed on Emmanuel Macron’s desk. Seventy-three pages, stamped Secret Défense. The document had one purpose: to answer the question that French politicians had been avoiding for twenty years. What is actually happening to this country — and who is making it happen. Macron read it and locked it in a drawer.
Then it leaked. In May 2025, Le Figaro obtained the full document and published it. It was a detailed, deliberate, patient, funded, and coordinated plan across borders. A plan to take over France, not by force, but from the inside. Neighborhood by neighborhood, school by school, sports club by sports club. The name of the document, “Frères Musulmans et Islamisme Politique en France,” – The Muslim Brotherhood and Political Islam in France.
Every conquest begins by choosing the right target, and the Muslim Brotherhood chose with surgical precision to start with the poor, the forgotten, the people who feel angry and lost. The playbook is elegant in its simplicity; you do not approach it with a Quran. You approach with a job offer. You offer a sense of community and belonging. A Brotherhood-affiliated temp agency calls back when no one else does. A community sports club gives people somewhere to be on Thursday nights. A personal development workshop, run by a soft-spoken man who quotes the Prophet between practical advice about CV writing, makes lost people feel cared for, for the first time, that someone sees them.
By the time the religious identity arrives, and it always arrives, the young man is already inside the ecosystem.
The ecosystem works. The numbers prove it. France currently has between 100,000 and 200,000 Muslim converts — native-born French citizens who were not born into Islam but chose it. Yearly conversions have doubled over the past thirty years. The French Interior Ministry estimates approximately ten conversions to Islam per day — 3,600 per year — with the true figure likely higher. The profile of the typical convert is precise and telling: young, urban, often from a broken or secular home, searching for structure, belonging, and meaning in a society that stopped offering any. The Muslim Brotherhood’s ecosystem provides all three, on demand, with no questions asked and no French bureaucracy to navigate.
Add to this a Muslim birth rate of 3 to 3.5 children per woman — compared to 1.56 for the broader French population — and approximately 300,000 new Muslim immigrants arriving annually, and the demographic arithmetic becomes self-evident.
France today has the largest Muslim community in Western Europe, six to seven million people. Research projects the Muslim population will reach 17 to 18 percent by 2050 under medium migration scenarios.

Behind the ecosystem, behind the mosques, the sports clubs, and the temp agencies, there is a command structure. The French report calls it the “Council of Judges” — a clandestine leadership of between 400 and 1,000 individuals who have undergone a ten-stage initiation process and sworn a personal loyalty oath to the Muslim Brotherhood’s Supreme Guide. They are operatives and their job is to coordinate the entire network from the shadows — deciding which candidate runs for which city council, which association applies for which municipal grant, where the money flows, and where it stops. In public, they look like ordinary citizens participating in democracy. Behind closed doors, they are executing a strategy that has been running without interruption for forty years, using Democracy as a weapon.

The article goes on to describe how the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan works to create an ever growing infiltration of the state from within.
It does not look like a takeover; it looks like civic participation. A Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated candidate runs for the local school board on a platform of community representation and educational equity. A mosque-linked association applies for a municipal grant to run a youth sports program. A soft-spoken man in a suit attends a town hall meeting and asks reasonable questions about housing policy, nothing alarming, nothing illegal. Just citizens, participating in democracy.
Except they are not there as citizens, they are there as operatives, executing a strategy documented in the French report with clinical precision: to place Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated individuals inside public institutions, advance them through the bureaucratic ranks, and use their positions to redirect resources, shape policy, and gradually replace the Republic’s values with their own.

The article concludes with a vital contemporary observation:
children at Hamas-ran summer camp staging attack on Jews
There is a truth every civilization has learned too late: when Jews are attacked, the society is already sick. Antisemitism is not a Jewish problem. It is a diagnostic. It is the first symptom of a civilization that has lost the ability to defend itself, to name its enemies, and to draw and hold a line. France, you recorded 1,570 antisemitic incidents in 2024. You are not defending your Jews, your women, or your children. Rape cases have more than doubled over the past decade, and your response has been to commission reports, issue communiqués, and send diplomatic letters to the governments funding the men who commit them.
You cannot march for Palestine on Saturday and pretend you do not know what is happening in Saint-Denis on Monday. You cannot call yourself a feminist and look away from the women in niqab who have been pressured into silence in neighbourhoods your own police are afraid to enter. You cannot call yourself a defender of the Republic while funding mosques that answer to Ankara and Doha and not to Paris.
Look in the mirror, France. The country looking back at you is not the one that gave the world the Declaration of the Rights of Man. It is not the country of Voltaire and Zola and the light on the Seine at dusk.
You are a country where terrorist attacks do not stop. You are a country where rape cases rose 140 percent over five years, even as you suppressed ethnic crime statistics for fear of what they would reveal. You hung the Palestinian flag while abandoning your own citizens. You opened your borders without asking who was crossing them. And you abandoned your Jewish community — the largest in Europe — to face 1,570 antisemitic incidents in a single year, then rewarded the movement responsible by becoming the first G7 nation to recognize a Palestinian state after October 7. [Australia joined you …]
You allow FGM to be practiced in your suburbs at rates that shocked European health investigators, who documented tens of thousands of cases on your soil. You watched women disappear into niqabs in neighbourhoods where your own laws no longer reach and called it multiculturalism. You fund, through your welfare system, hundreds of thousands of people who contribute nothing to French society and answer to a different authority entirely. You sacrificed your oldest alliances — with America, Israel, and the civilization that built you just to avoid offending the governments of Ankara and Doha.
This is who you are, France.
And this is what you are also becoming, Britain, Germany …. and soon, Australia.
