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

France’s anti-terror police “fed up,” calling in sick in protest

Apr 8, 2015 7:04 pm By Robert Spencer

France police“The risk is that this will lead to a lack of vigilance, which means that when a real attack comes we are not reactive and therefore unable to stop it.” Yep. What could be an alternative to this constant vigilance? Perhaps addressing the roots of the problem and compelling mosques and Islamic schools in France to teach against the doctrines of jihad warfare and supremacism? No, that would be “Islamophobic.”

“France’s fatigued ‘anti-terror’ police call in sick,” France 24, April 8, 2015 (thanks to Block Ness):

The aftermath of the Paris terror attacks has taken its toll on France’s riot police who are apparently fed up of standing guard all day outside the country’s “sensitive sites” – and have started calling in sick in protest.

If you’ve walked the streets of Paris or any other major French city in the last few months, you’ll no doubt have noticed the soldiers and police officers – often standing in pairs – guarding “sensitive” sites like Jewish schools, media outlets, and Muslim places of worship.

They’ve been there since the terror attacks on the Charlie Hebdo offices and a Jewish supermarket in early January, when 17 people were killed in what are known as the Paris terror attacks.

There have been no terror attacks since, and burglary levels have dropped in the capital, but the officers with the CRS, who are charged with controlling riots and protecting public buildings, are reportedly getting tired of being on guard all day.

As they are prevented by law from going on strike they’re making their voices heard by calling in sick, according to various reports in the French press.

The “sick protest” began on Friday in Toulouse, southern France, when officers from the CRS first said they were too sick to work.

They were followed by CRS officers in northern Nancy and central Lyon on Tuesday.

They’re “fed up” with a “very tense working environment”, Nicolas Comte, head of one of the police units, told France Info.

One police spokesman has already spoken out about the risks of the long shifts, saying in March that overworking could lead to complacency.

“The risk is that this will lead to a lack of vigilance, which means that when a real attack comes we are not reactive and therefore unable to stop it,” he told Europe 1….

    Why are they guarding ” Muslim places of worship”?

    The frogs, as usual are all fucked up.

    MUSLIMS DO THE ATTACKING. THEY ARE NOT ATTACKED.

    CAN THEY GET IT?

    I doubt it.

    Like the French WW2 Rifles– NEVER FIRED; DROPPED ONCE.

      I think they get it. However, not guarding the mosques would be a clear admission of something that they don’t want to clearly admit. That’s why they guard the mosques. It’s theatre. The play goes on.

        Yes and no. I think both thoughts are active in the befuddled minds of the PC MCs. We shouldn’t expect them to think coherently, now…

      Yes, the French should be sending the military into Muslim NO-GO zones to root out the jihadists and the Muslim criminals. If the Muslims fight back, so much the better. Let them die as martyrs.

          Hoff, aka ‘defenderofislam’ says;

          ”There are NO GO Zones in Europe.”

          Given the fact that old brian is intellectually, as well as language ‘challenged’ (PC euphemism for thick as a brick), I presume he meant ”there are no NO Go zones in Europe.

          Well, of course, there are.

      Guarding mosques is done to make Muslims look like they are innocent victims and not evil perpetrators.

      With Muslim Brother Obama as President, we are not much better than the French in combatting Islamic Jihad.

    If only we could just ‘REFORM’ Islam all would be swell.

    “You’ve got to change your evil ways… baby
    Before I stop excusing you.
    You’ve go to change… baby
    And every word that I say, it’s true.
    You’ve got me running and hiding
    All over town.
    You’ve got me sneaking and peeping
    And running from clowns
    This can’t go on…
    Lord knows you got to change… baby.”

    The French military aren’t liking their dhimmi status? Good, they’re the ones with the weapons. I’m sure they’ll be punished severely for protesting, but it’s showing the crack in the dyke is getting bigger and bigger and that makes me happy.

    So how big a problem did France have with attacks on Mosques that requires them to be guarded?
    Why waste valuable resources on guarding Mosques when they are clearly not in danger?
    While France wastes money on having to guard everyone else from Muslims, the Muslims are winning.
    It’s time to shut down Mosques and anyone complaining can get out.
    If they start rioting and attacking civilians, French military can take care of that and UN be buggered. What’s the worst that can happen to France? NATO will attack?

      French military can take care of that and UN be buggered. What’s the worst that can happen to France? NATO will attack?

      That’s exactly what happened when the Serbs tried to defend themselves and their Country from the relentless attacks by Albanians, Kosovan and Bosnian militias, trying to Islamise the Balkans.
      As soon as the Serbs started to fight back, the Muslims started to hysterically play the “poor Muslim victims” card and Serbia ended up getting bombed to rubble by NATO.

      • Beagle says

        Apr 9, 2015 at 10:35 am

        There are many lessons to be learned from the Balkans misadventure. Sadly, the US has not yet learned any of them. We soured US-Russian relations for decades or centuries to mop up for revanchist Islam the Battle of Kosovo in 1389.

        If US foreign policy and grievances caused terrorism, a Christian Serb would blow up in DC daily. But Hollywood movies are the only place we find Christian Serbian terrorists.

      There where attack on mosque and Islamist schools in the past. ((.99% of the moslim in French are peaceful people. Unlike you who want to murder in cold bloob all muslim.

    Islam is an ideology and must be destroyed IDEOLOGICALLY.

    • Matthieu Baudin says

      Apr 9, 2015 at 12:18 am

      Mortimer, you are right. What we have is a type of phony war across Europe that no one believes in and that is unsustainable over time. This is a war of ideology and ideals that modern civil societies can win. For all of the doubters out there, remember that in recent times the Soviet Union imploded and lost the Cold War largely because of a well fought ideological battle over many years that finally penetrated the ruling and cultural elite of the U.S.S.R. That victory was as great an achievement as the Allied Victory of WW2.

      Rigid ideologies give an illusion of internal consistency that can be successfully disrobed. Marxist ideology was more compact and resilient to counter argumentation than the flotsam and jetsam of themes that comprises the Quran. The heroes of the Cold War worked hard for decades on the task of counter propaganda and ideological jousting, but unlike the big names of WW2, their identities are not widely known. So Mortimer you’re right, the long road ahead, in the conflict against violent traditional Islam, will be in large measure an ideological battle.

      • voegelinian says

        Apr 9, 2015 at 3:07 am

        No, mortimer is wrong. His prescription sounds robust, to the careless reader; but there are two things wrong with it:

        1) it’s ratcheting up the project to the vertiginously improbable “destroy Islam” goal

        2) by focusing on “ideology”, it is providing no means to protect our physical bodies, buildings, planes, trains & automobiles from physical attacks by Muslims following their Islam.

      Can we afford to wait that long? How many people will die by then? How many countries engulfed by Sharia and gone too far to be saved?
      We cannot get through to them, that much is clear. Each generation is worse than the previous one so we need force not education.

      • Ernie says

        Apr 9, 2015 at 7:14 am

        Dear Peggy , you have a point here . However , why make a choice between ideological means or force ? Why not both ?

  7. Rainman says

    Apr 8, 2015 at 11:43 pm

    These lazy cops need to show up and do their job. Their job is most likely safer than digging ditches and flipping burgers and pays a lot more. They are all armed, unlike during the Hedbo killings. Their presence saves lives and detours terrorists.
    Rainman…….

    • Anushirvan says

      Apr 10, 2015 at 3:05 pm

      Quite so, Rainman.

      “They’re “fed up” with a “very tense working environment”, Nicolas Comte, head of one of the police units, told France Info.”

      Well, you have to be able to relax now and again, even when you’re doing a day’s hard graft.

      I suppose, being French and all that, they’d like to turn their job into a walk in the park. No fun being at work without being allowed to sip Saint – Emilion and slicing Camembert when you’re French…I understand their indignation, I really do ! Life seems decidedly easier for Saudi Arabian nationals, in comparison.

    They can’t give up. Their jobs will be given to you-know-what.

    They need action.

  9. AJ Liberphile says

    Apr 9, 2015 at 5:02 am

    I think those French anti-terrorism police must be fully aware of what’s going on, just like a growing majority of freedom lovers. You can fool some of the people all the time, or all the people some of the time…

    Unfortunately we’re in the diabolical situation where we absolutely need more atrocities to wake up the people.

    RS’s solution of forcing mosques and Islamic schools to teach against supremacism and jihad ain’t going to happen until the people refuse to be lied to any longer is it?

  11. rcourtemanche says

    Apr 9, 2015 at 12:43 pm

    The pusillanimous politicians about doing nothing to eradicate Islam can be demoralizing. Such attitude by French politicians, and others, that have failed to act a long time ago, has made things much more difficult to remedy. Looking dignified and arrogant just won’t do it.

    How very French.
