Piers Morgan Debates Immigration and Protests in Paris

Do you think jihad is destroying Paris, by the way?

'Cause that's, that's got very little to do with what's

actually been happening in

Paris.

Oh, no, it has everything to do with it.

It's just that you want to be blind to it, Piers.

Not really.

That's the problem. You don't want to understand-

I'm married to, I'm married to someone who's half

Parisian, so I may know a bit

more about it than you do.

Maybe you do and maybe you don't-

Mm

... but you may not understand the roots of

it.

As I listen to you, I-

Do, do you think what's happening on the

streets of, of Paris right now is down

to... What, what do you think it's down to?

Islamic fundamentalism?

Jihadist immigration. I heard, I heard Polish-

Well, it's not, it's not though. It's a complete mischaracterization.

No, it's about students really wanting sharper

pencils.

No, no, it's not about students.

I know, I understand.

No, no. It, it, it's about actually a historic

tradition of French people protesting.

They do it all the time, and what's been happening now is

that more and more thugs

and criminals have been getting on the end of these protests when dusk falls,

and they start smashing things up, setting fire to things,

and stealing things.

These are just petty-

And millions of people are gonna listen to you say these words,

and millions of

people are gonna say, "Piers Morgan, smart guy, quite detached though from

the reality on the ground." They don't under- the people don't understand how you

don't understand that immigration, jihadist immigration, destroys the

West, okay? Uh, I saw the, the, uh, Owen-

I think jihadist immigration is a serious problem,

but it's not happening

in Paris right now on the scale-

Okay

... you seem to think it is.

That's fine. Yeah, that's fine. If, if you-

So there's also a danger in people branding-

You want to turn a blind eye to it. You're welcome to

... in branding every criminality down to the

Muslim immigrants, which is also a

problem.

No, no
