Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

French PM: 10,000 Muslims from Europe to wage jihad by year’s end

Mar 9, 2015 12:59 pm By Robert Spencer

French-Jihadi-SyriaThis is “a three-fold increase on current numbers.” For some reason, the steady stream of articles assuring us that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, and the assurances to that effect from Western leaders, have had no effect on the Muslims from the West who are deciding to go fight for the Islamic State. Now, why is that? Could it be that the Islamic State is more Islamic than anyone wants to admit? Nah — that would be “Islamophobic.”

“PM: ‘10,000 Europeans to wage jihad by year’s end,'” The Local, March 9, 2015:

As many as 10,000 Europeans could be waging jihad in Iraq and Syria by the end of this year, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls warned on Sunday, a three-fold increase on current numbers.

“There are 3,000 Europeans in Iraq and Syria today. When you do a projection for the months to come, there could be 5,000 before summer and 10,000 before the end of the year,” Valls told French television channel iTele.

“Do you realise the threat that this represents?” he asked.

He said there were around 1,400 people who were either already in these conflict zones, who had come back from there or who were planning to go.

“There have already been nearly 90 French people who have died out there with a weapon in their hand, fighting against our own values,” Valls said.

France, along with Belgium, has seen the largest numbers of volunteers leaving to join the Islamic State jihadist group, which has seized large parts of Syria and Iraq….

“We have to face a particularly high threat level in France, in Europe and in other countries,” said Valls.

    In some way this may be a good news for EU. Just imagine if all of them get killed! Europe would be far safer. M

      My sentiments exactly except that Europe will probably welcome back all those who don’t die.

        Agreed. They have a great way of doing themselves in. m

          Current estimates show that the “Western” fighters are really good of doing themselves in. It’s the good news.

    Lived in Paris for two years back in the 80’s, I loved it. I hope France finds some way to bring itself back from the brink of destruction.

      I go to south of France 6 times a year for business(Cannes). You should see the muslims there. it is disgusting. M

    The French need to take drastic measures, including the censorship of all mosques, the restriction of Muslim immigration, the reestablishment of Devil’s Island, the exile of all jihadists.

      A good idea. France has several Pacific islands which could be converted into penal colnies for jihadis where they could be forced to work in farms and pay back some of the damage they have done. Of course,, keep them there for good.

    “PM: ‘10,000 Europeans to wage jihad by year’s end,”

    That’s a big commitment. There must be an election coming up.

    via: VladTepesblog.com France: uniforms and body armor stolen from the municipal police
    (Google translate from French. I am content it is sufficiently accurate)

    Individuals have burgled the premises of the municipal police Nevers during the weekend. This is the first time that thieves dare tackle police. This weekend, one or more burglars broke the locks on the two doors leading to the ground floor of the premises of the municipal police of Nevers.

    The flight took place on the night of Friday to Saturday, mischief was discovered Saturday morning when taking service agents.

    Service outfits, handcuffs, a bulletproof vest, tear gas bombs … were stolen.

    An investigation was opened.

    I would like the caliphate to be a success. It will then be incumbent on all Muslims being oppressed in the West, to go to the caliphate.

    The important thing here, one way or other, Muslims have to be removed from the West.

    So many perverts in the world – and more so in France and belgium – and the place for them is ISIS. It is only natural that psychopaths would flock to an organization that cherishes and encourages their murderous, twisted personalities and can offer them legitimacy and acceptance. Maube instead of prison term, any murdere should be sent to ISIS. Imagine the savings to tax oayers.

    It’s far more than any figure European governments are willing to give us, just as the number of illegal aliens in the US is far higher than government “estimates.”

    Spanish police believe that the number of European citizens who have traveled to the Middle East for jihad is 30-100,000.
