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?

The French, outside of the cities, have quite a few guns. Lots of those guns are owned illegally.
The biggest difference is it is nearly impossible to be able to *carry* a weapon for self defense.
You mean sane frenchmen are finally realizing that they’re in a war?
I wonder how long it will take us to come to that realization.
If the French decide to rise up and stop the Muzzies you will see the French government/elites use every means at its disposal to stop it. Muzzy terrorism not so much.
The French are not at war nor is the rest of the West. Liberalism has left ever one ball-less. The only war going on is just imagined and waged only by complaint.
Le Pen needs to win and expel the immigrants.
When any western nation allows Islam to establish a presence, there will be terrorism and crime. Islam must be banned in civilized nations.
you will see the French government/elites use every means at its disposal to stop it.
Thanks for the quote. That man was so profound.
It does make you wonder, doesn’t it?
I’ve had similar thoughts. I guess the “civil” part is the Vichy govt realizing that the peasants are also on the verge of coming after them with pitchforks and rakes.
Incorrect sir, it takes two to make a peace but only one to make a war.
These mooselimbs go wild on this, “,Day of rage”, and burn cars and businesses and homes and that may just bethe spark.
We need a new Crusade.
We need a new Vlad the Impaler.
“Who sees a crumbling country where violence and vengeance alternates between two camps, where the spiral of attacks does not stop?”
Once started, it will stop when the last person willing to die for his cause is dead ...
You are right about that.. The enablers are their elected leadership. As in our country, the elected leadership (and the appointed, non- elected czars) are the ones with all of the money, ammunition and the will to use it to further their cause. If regular citizens are thinking they are going up against all of that, they are in for a rude awakening. The religion of power and control are in place and those at the helm have the will to kill and destroy all “deniers” through intimidation, the abusive legal system and finally the trigger. Truth and character have been systemically eradicated. Empowerment from Jesus Christ will be the only thing that can redeem this country, France too, if it so desires. Question is, will we seek it?
I haz mavens? Well, that’s a start...
Mavens are not necessarily the same as maidens, but one can always hope....
Indeed. These days, shield maidens would be most appropriate. The French need a fresh infusion of fighting spirit. It apparently won’t come from the “men”.
Talk, talk, talk. I’ll believe it when it happens.
