3) A certain frustration has surfaced not as a result of exclusion, but due to a pronounced inferiority complex. In an incredible reversal, it turns out that the more they are aided, the more they hate us and complain. This resentment is mixed with a desire for conquest and revenge. This divide is unmanageable, and it is too late to consider any sort of integration or assimilation. Any peaceful coexistence has become impossible. The multi-ethnic myth of a ‘living-together’ has been forged by urban (political and journalist) elites who live among their own.
4) As seen in both France and Denmark, a significant part of the young Muslim immigrant population supports ‘martyred’ jihadist killers, whether implicitly or explicitly. This is even true of those who seem perfectly peaceful and integrated. This provides all suicide-bombers-in-the-making with a kind of rear base, logistics, and a powerful sense of encouragement. The feeling of participating in an exhilarating collective war, one of justice and conquest, is a huge incentive for taking action.
5) Accentuated by the media and the Internet, the hardening and expansion of global jihadist propaganda — which is relayed by the preaching of mosques and illustrated by the terrifying examples of the barbaric acts of violence perpetrated by Islamists in Syria, Iraq, Mali, Libya and Nigeria — has boosted recruitment and excited young brains whose intelligence has never been much of a trademark.
6) Another factor is embodied by the presence of thousands of young Muslim immigrants in the ranks of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, many of whom will then return to Europe hardened, fanaticised and barbarised. Not to mention the phenomenon of competition among jihadist assassins, a phenomenon that drives each one of them to attempt to surpass previous attacks in terms of criminal horror.
7) Let us not forget, furthermore, the encouragement of Islamic jihad epitomised by the weak and neurotic responses of European governments, whose members have failed to react properly: the admittedly massive demonstrations of 11th January, 2015 (‘I am Charlie’) had a laughable care-bear aspect to them. Cunningly depicting himself as the victim, in harmony with one of the fundamental precepts of Islam, the aggressor is aroused by the weakness of those he attacks. It is all common knowledge.
8) The judicial laxity displayed by our Keepers of the Seals,[142] who have succeeded each other but proven equal in terms of mediocrity, protects both common law criminals and jihadist terrorists, whose actions are generally greeted with a deafening silence. The judicial power is the weakest link in the fight against terrorism in France. Is it because our judges are paralysed at the thought of intervening in Muslim milieus and housing estates, which act as citadels of insurrection and terrorist attacks? Possibly. In any case, the anti-terrorist criminal justice response remains ridiculously weak. Anti-terrorist magistrates are overwhelmed and outnumbered, as are the judicial police officers assigned to this task — only 200, although they should be twice or three times as many. The financial resources allocated to investigating the members of the right-wing opposition and to the surveillance of sex offenders are incomparably greater than those used in the case of potential or even confirmed jihadists! According to Parisian public prosecutor and magistrate François Molins, our antiterrorist judicial investigation proceedings are ‘dangerously and scandalously hindered’, particularly in the field of wiretapping and computer intelligence.
There is an even more serious side to this last point: anti-terrorism judges have been attracting our attention to the early release of highly dangerous individuals, of scum that often end up serving less than half of their original sentence and are, incidentally, given excessively light prison sentences to begin with… On top of this, the violations of judicial supervision remain unpunished. Our sieve-like prisons (where inmates can actually keep a mobile phone in their cell) serve as radicalisation centres. In line with our common law, which happens to be one of the world’s laxest general laws, terrorists enjoy an implementation system of reduced sentences while imprisoned there. The European Court of Human Rights, apart from being the delinquents’ most faithful friend, is also the perfect ally of all apprentice terrorists and jihadists. By contrast, our intelligence services are completely overrun and hampered in their investigations. What all of this means is that there is a feeling of impunity now spreading like wildfire, as fast as Islamic radicalisation itself. In other words, the current state of affairs stimulates the planning of terrorist acts, since, on the one hand, suspects are poorly surveilled, and, on the other, the offenders that are likely to take action only receive lenient punishment and are incompetently monitored, as seen in the case of the Kouachi brothers or African convert Coulibaly.[143]
We shall soon experience tragic events involving a conjunction of several factors, first in France and then across all of Western Europe. Let us now review the elements that could lead to an insurrectional situation that would spiral completely out of control. Hold on to your hats — the prospects are horrific enough for anyone to be scared stiff.
1) Low-intensity attacks and aggressions against various targets, with fewer than ten fatal casualties, will increase. In addition to the usual Jewish victims, the police, the army, and Christians, white children will, according to my own very bleak prediction, be the ones primarily targeted, either using ‘homemade’ weapons (knives, firearms) and improvised weapons (vehicles rammed into crowds, etc.), or by means of more elaborate explosives. The perpetrators may, in some cases, be lone wolves, or perhaps small groups acting through improvised amateurism.
2) We shall also witness more professional, better prepared and much more deadly attacks against the above-mentioned targets (resulting in up to 100 deaths), as was the case in Bataclan. These might turn out to be acts of sheer untargeted terrorism, i.e. attacks carried out in areas with a high population density. Detailed jihadist instructions on how to conduct attacks against France and target tourist sites, department stores, and various symbolic locations are now being spread on the Internet. For a long time now, the Islamic State (Daesh) has been disseminating such a publication, and in French at that. We must therefore expect this abject sport of theirs to spread, as it has in both Iraq and Syria: bombs will be planted; suicide bombers will detonate their explosive belts; and car bombs will be used. An operation of simultaneous attacks is quite possible as well, in an effort to create panic and stupefy the crowds.
3) The prospect of a massive terrorist attack with a toll of more than 1,000 fatal casualties, resembling the 11th September, 2001 attacks but carried out against a European country (with France most at risk in this regard), is less likely due to the obvious logistical difficulties, although it remains perfectly conceivable. There is no doubt that jihadist groups are considering a new ‘9/11’ and preparing to unleash it in one place or another. At this very moment, in fact. As for the possible targets, they are very numerous indeed.
4) What we are also looking at is a simultaneous outbreak of riots and violent insurrections in different parts of our territory, under a ridiculous pretext that can be invented at any time — an outbreak that shall be accompanied by assassinations, arsons, attacks, looting and urban guerrilla warfare involving actual weapons of war and a clearly defined cadre of experienced mujahideen. Our police forces will find themselves overwhelmed, and it is rather uncertain whether the French army has the required means, capabilities and psychological preparation to be able to cope with such a development. Large insurrectional riots + indiscriminate terrorist attacks + targeted assassinations = a simple equation.

TN: In addition to having acted as the hostage-taker and gunman in the Hypercacher Kosher Supermarket siege (in which he proceeded to kill four hostages before being shot by the police), Amedy Coulibaly was the prime suspect in the Montrouge shooting, which claimed the life of municipal police officer Clarissa Jean-Philippe. He was also a close friend of Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, the gunmen who carried out the Charlie Hebdo shooting, stating that he had timed his attacks to coincide with those of the Kouachi brothers. Coulibaly had, additionally, pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and even his wife became a suspect for her likely participation in the slaughter.
