Interior Minister Gerard Collomb made it official. France is "in a state of war.
Its not just rhetoric. Bombs turn up in a posh Parisian suburb. Two young women are butchered at a train station. And its just another week of an Islamic World War III being fought in France.
From the November attacks in 2015 that killed 130 people and wounded another 400+, to the Bastille Day truck ramming attack last year that killed 86 and wounded 458, the war is real.
French casualties in France are worse than in Afghanistan. The French lost 70 people to Islamic terrorist attacks in Afghanistan. And 239 to Islamic terrorist attacks in France.
The French losses in Afghanistan were suffered in over a decade of deployment in one of the most dangerous Islamic areas in the world. The French losses in France were suffered in less than two years.
Theres something very wrong when Afghanistan is safer than Paris.
10,000 French soldiers were deployed in the streets of their own country in Operation Sentinelle after the Charlie Hebdo - Kosher supermarket attacks in 2015. Thousands of French soldiers are still patrolling, guarding and shooting in French cities which have become more dangerous than Afghanistan.
Operation Sentinelle has deployed twice as many French soldiers to France as to Afghanistan. And French casualties in the Islamic war at home have been far higher that they were in Afghanistan.
When the French intervened to stop the Islamist takeover of Mali, they suffered a handful of losses. The 4,000 French soldiers came away from Operation Serval with 9 casualties and Operation Barkhane amounted to 5 dead. The Gulf War? Another 9 dead. Its a lot safer to be a French soldier fighting Al Qaeda in a Muslim country than a Parisian civilian going to a concert in his or her own city.
French casualties in the struggle with Islamic terror in just the last two years are approaching the 300 casualties of the Korean War.
France is at war. Thats why there are soldiers in the streets.
Its new anti-terrorism bill creates a permanent state of emergency. Suspected extremists can be placed under administrative detention in their own homes and neighborhoods under police surveillance and remote monitoring.
Pop-up checkpoints can appear in public spaces that are designated as security zones where anyone can be stopped and searched. Mosques can be shut down for six months. Public gatherings can be banned. Warrantless searches can be conducted within miles of potential targets.
The Interior Ministry will have police state powers. And it will be able to wield quite a few of them without having to go through the formality of asking judges nicely for permission.
Some of these measures should be familiar. France is the new Israel.
France's Interior Minister called the anti-terrorism bill, a "lasting response to a lasting threat". The choice of words recognizes that Islamic terrorism is here to stay.
The State of War is permanent. And France has no plans for winning the war. Instead its trying to get better at playing defense. And thats what most Western domestic counterterrorism efforts amount to.
France is just taking the lead because it has the biggest problem.
The British put soldiers on the streets after the Manchester Arena bombing. The Italians and the Belgians began deploying soldiers in cities around the same time that the French did.
When an illegal alien Muslim terrorist due to be deported murdered two young women in Marseille while shouting, Allahu Akbar, French soldiers opened fire. The 24-year-old who shot the terrorist was a reserve member of a regiment of combat engineers in the French Foreign Legion.
The French Foreign Legion isnt off fighting in a foreign desert somewhere. Its fighting in France.
French soldiers are told to loudly announce, Stop or I Shoot. And then open fire. And thats what he did. And French soldiers are being forced to learn the phrase and expect to come under attack.
In February, French soldiers were attacked by a Muslim terrorist outside the Louvre. The Egyptian Jihadist shouted, Allahu Akbar and came after them with a machete. One soldier from the 1st Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutistes was wounded. The attacker was shot down.
The 1st Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutistes had been deployed to Afghanistan and Mali. Now they were at the Louvre. You dont need to be Napoleon to know that counts as a major retreat.
A month later, a Muslim terrorist shouted "I am here to die in the name of Allah" while holding a female air force soldier hostage at Orly Airport.
He got his wish courtesy of her fellow soldiers.
In August, six soldiers from the 35th Infantry Regiment were hit by a BMW driven by a Muslim terrorist. Members of a regiment which had been deployed in Afghanistan were sent to a military hospital after an attack in the wealthy Levallois-Perret suburb of Paris. A year earlier, soldiers from the 5th Infantry Regiment had been hit by a Tunisian shouting, Allahu Akbar while they were guarding a mosque.
France has entered its longest state of emergency since the Algerian War. The 2015 attacks saw its first state of emergency since 1961. But where is France supposed to withdraw from this time? Paris?
It was one thing to abandon the beleaguered Algerian Christians and Jews to Muslim terror. And to abandon them a second time when they fled to France only to face persecution by their old Islamic neighbors who had tagged along and settled down in Marseille. But can France abandon the French?
The issue once again is colonialism. But the new colonists are Algerians, Tunisians and other Islamic imperialists who have settled in France and wave the black flag of the Jihad over their no-go zone settlements in French cities. And they have made it abundantly clear that they will not stop there.
Last year, former Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that, "Every day attacks are foiled... as we speak."
And its no wonder. Thousands of Muslim settlers left France to fight in Syria and Iraq. Valls was looking at 15,000 potential threats domestically. France has one of the largest Muslim populations in Europe. We dont know exactly how many millions of Muslim settlers live in France. But we can measure their growth by the expansion of the terror threat. Islamic terrorism is, despite the spin, reducible to Islam.
There is no Islamic terrorism without Islam. As Islam expands, so does Islamic terrorism.
France is in the middle of a civil war. The civil war is based on religious differences. As the religious divide between the Islamic colonists and the militantly secular French government increases, the violence will worsen. The outcome of the war will determine whether France will be a secular republic or an Islamic state. The Jihadists have a plan for winning the war. The French authorities dont.
And what goes for France also goes for Western Europe. And for the West.
The French combination of social appeasement and police state enforcement isnt working. The same model ultimately fails wherever its applied. Breaking up terror cells and stopping attacks is far better than the alternative, but the scale of the problem will always continue increasing because of demographic growth and a globalized terror infrastructure.
Demographics dictate that Frances terror problem will only keep growing. And the French authorities understand this. Thats why its governments increasingly talk about Islamic terrorism as a lasting threat.
Our War on Terror has squandered endless blood and treasure while avoiding the root cause. Western nations deploy massive armies to root out small terror networks while allying with their Gulf backers. Soldiers patrol major cities waiting for a terrorist or several terrorists to attack. Meanwhile the mosques that indoctrinate them to hate and kill non-Muslims are also protected by those same soldiers.
Thats not how you win a war. Its how you lose everything.
That’s an interesting article.
France’s war on terror seems to
be mostly domestic and on the
receiving end. With porous borders,
it’s like swatting flies in your house
while the screen door leading to
the compost stands wide open.
You’ll never run out of flies.

That’s the nut of it.
We have to decide we want to survive or we won’t.
Islam has a defining directive.
Submit or Die
.............years ago, a group of us went deer and blue quail hunting in West Texas each fall on a 20,000 acre lease. Since we were a hundred plus miles from competent medical help, we were all extra careful about everything but particularly rattlesnakes. Some of us took to carrying .410 pistols for the jillions of rattlers and we had no policy of accommodation to the rattlers. See one, kill it! The rattlers had the same policy towards us!
Similarly, Europe, if it wants to save itself, will have to adopt the same policy. Namely.........”if you see a rattlesnake (male, fighting age muslim).........”kill it”!
Deport all others systematically.
Illegal immigration in many instances comes from countries that were colonized in the first place. Call it the fruits of imperialism.
Afghanistan probably is ‘safer than Paris, France’.
Mainly because there is very little infrastructure worth destroying in that country. There is little economy to be maintained or put at risk.
Certainly true of France and Britain, less so for us.
Send Jimmy Kimmel over there.
He can solve anything. He’s smart!!
“We’ll always have Puerto Rico.”

[France is in the middle of a civil war.]
We should have given them independence long ago.
Now it will become the 51st state.
Please do no interrupt stultifying conservative fantasies...
With two dem senators and who knows how many dem reps.
Not that such a legislature would perform noticeably different from the ‘republican’ congress of today.
Sounds like a plan.
I feel blessed that I was able to visit there several times, ('70's), before France started allowing these savages in.
Islam will likely be the significant flashpoint tool taking the world to Armageddon.
They’re certainly involved in Ezekiel 38 (Iran and Libya are both named, and I agree with Dr. Ed Hindson, House of Togarmah is Turkey).
Any tourist who thinks Paris is safe is a fool.
I’ve been telling my associates to avoid northern France and go instead to Provence or Aquitania instead. Southern France is still very traditional and semi-conservative.
Short of Civil War/Extermination/Repatriation of Islamics, I don’t see a solution for France. The fools!
