Growing tensions between the ‘extreme Right and the Muslim world’ have pushed France to the ‘verge of a civil war’, the country’s most senior security chief has warned.
Patrick Calvar, head of the General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI) – France’s equivalent of MI5 – made his claim in the wake of last year’s terrorist attacks on Paris.
A total of 147 people were murdered by terrorists in the capital during atrocities in January and November.
Many of those responsible were French passport holders with North African backgrounds, leading to far-Right politicians calling for a massive clampdown on immigration.
But Mr Calvar, 60, warned there is evidence that radical Right-wing French groups have been massing arms in preparation for their own attacks on mosques and synagogues.
‘I think we will win against terrorism,’ Mr Calvar said, but predicted the ‘confrontation between the extreme Right and the Muslim world’, adding: ‘We’re on the verge of a civil war. I think this confrontation is going to happen. One or two more attacks and it will take place. It is up to us to anticipate and stop all those groups who would trigger clashes.’
The closed inquiry was held on May 24, but Mr Calvar’s dramatic comments were leaked to French media yesterday. He said: ‘Where is the spark going to come from that will light the powder, transforming France into an uncontrollable country where groups take up arms and hand out their own justice? Who sees a crumbling country where violence and vengeance alternates between two camps, where the spiral of attacks does not stop?

Viva le Resistance!
The Vichy government declares that resisting the invaders is illegal and will be punished.
Viva le Resistance!
They are in a war, whether they choose to fight or not is another matter.
You’d be surprised how many weapons are held by Frenchmen. Especially in rural areas.
If push come to shove in those areas, then they will fight back.
However, don’t expect many heroics in Paris....
France would be fine if the Queeran were only available worldwide in a French translation. Forget Arabic.
Just curious, wouldn’t a “civil war” require guns? The French are screwed.
War against invading barbarians is NOT a civil war. I hate the liberal press. They’re trying to redefine everything.
Counterattacking against Islam is not civil war. It is war for civilization against demonic barbarism.
Nuke Makkah NOW!
They will clamp down on right wing extremist who voice different opinions, but not radical islamist who incite hatred and violence
“But Mr Calvar, 60, warned there is evidence that radical Right-wing French groups have been massing arms in preparation for their own attacks on mosques and synagogues.”
Somehow I think that THE JEWS will be safe from the right-wing groups. But if I lived there, after tonight, I’d be quickly looking for any empty seats to Tunis on Air France.
They used to know. But, decades of “progressive” culture has wiped it clean, especially in Paris.
He He... Yea, you got a point.
I wonder how they’ll feel when Norte Dame is razed by ISIS.
This is a step in the right direction. You have to wonder what the rest of the European people are thinking at this point. Will they force their governments to stop the Muslim invasion? Probably not.
Obama favors Muslim refugees streaming into this country. And yet we have France, Germany, Sweden as examples of consequences of this policy. Bernie Sanders favors socialism, when we have Venezuela, and every socialist country in the history of forever. Hillary embraces BOTH policies. Just think about that for a few moments.
We’ll see how this latest attack with mass murders and injuries changes anything. Of course, it’ll be the racists’ fault for not giving muzzies enough hugs and France will bend over again.
Dust off the catapults, load em with Brie.
Where "extreme right" means ....anyone wants their country to stop committing national suicide.
The “extreme right” are disenfranchised French without free speech or political recourse.
Charles the Hammer, where are you?
Ah, the ever-feared 'backlash'.
What effing rot.
It's not BACKLASH to PRESERVE YOUR CULTURE.
And I love how this bastard slips in 'synagoges' as potential targets of the Right.
Bet ya a Franc not one Synogoge is attacked by the Right.
If its a Civil War, only one side is fighting.
