Riposte Laïque ("Secular Retaliation") is a French political movement and website.

Their web description is "for the defense of secularism and mutual tolerance principles". Defending secularism can't be a bad thing, right? When you peel off the thin paint, they can't be further from defending "mutual tolerance principles"; they are really Islamophobes who hold views that echo right-wing nationalism and other far-right bigotry. Their Islamophobia would make even Sam Harris shiver.

For example, they deny that moderate Muslims even exist: they're either radical Muslims or lying radical Muslims using "Taqiyya" to cover up their real intentions. Also, due to their general far-right craziness, they've been condemned more than once by French courts for inciting hate speech. Despite this, they very occasionally supported Muslims when their views happened to align.

Even though France's version of secularism, laïcité, or total separation of church and state, would sound left-leaning to the American religious right, most French analysts have found the movement to be hypocritical and far-right-leaning.

History

Riposte Laïque began in 2007 as a website with a hardline secularist stance (even for France) and a focus on Islam - against the Islamic veil for instance - but was still genuinely secular and progressive in some other matters, quite articulate in its views (unlike the hysterical far-right style the site is known for today) and occasionally critical of other religions, including Christianity. Their descent into madness took only a couple of years, the turning point being cooperation with notoriously racist far-right organizations and participation to events that targeted Muslim cultural practices as a whole.

Hypocrisy

They're not even that "secular", really : for example, many of them explicitly and repeatedly wrote that they're out to defend France's Christian roots, or even pagan roots when they deem Christianity to be too close to Islam. Also, they tend to have socially conservative views, and many, if not most of them, opposed same-sex marriage, for instance; some of their members and contributors are either homophobes believing in the théorie du genre (gender theory) or denounce the hate of some Muslims against the homosexuals SODOMITES OF THE DEVIIIL! for their own gains.

As expected, their favourite political party tends to be the National Front (FN), and they even tend to find it's become too "moderate" in its relation to Islam.

Unsurprisingly, they oppose the EU and support Donald Trump and PEGIDA.

Conspiracy theories

As said above, they believes all Muslims are radical and hiding their real intentions. They also believe in the Grand Remplacement, a French conspiracy theory created by French far-right nutcase writer Renaud Camus and unsurprisingly, opposes immigration as a result. They believe that immigration is...The cause of the loss of I.Q. in France and they believe in Eurabia...

Apart from that, they are also global warming denialists, hate Freemasons, the EVVUUUUL! Bilderberg group, and support Wafa Sultan. They are also pro-life.

Hoaxes

They are experts in hoaxes and Photoshop, using an image in which a mere video game critic is turned into a radical Muslim... Their hoaxes are frequently attacked by the Debunkers des hoax d'extrême-droite (Far-right hoaxes debunkers).
