Authorities in Western countries who work so hard to prevent Muslims from traveling to Syria and Iraq to wage jihad seem to have given insufficient attention to the possibility that those whom they have prevented from traveling may try to wage jihad at home. Now we see exactly that happening.
“France arrests man in IS-linked plot to attack naval base,” AFP, November 11, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
PARIS (AFP) – Authorities in France have arrested a man with links to an Islamic State jihadist in Syria over a plot to attack military personnel at a major naval base, police and judicial sources said Tuesday.
The 25-year-old, whom sources said had been monitored by intelligence agencies after trying unsuccessfully twice last year to travel to Syria, was held late last month and charged on November 2.
The interior ministry said in a statement that the man had been under surveillance “because of his radicalisation and public support for jihadist ideology” and had “attempted to acquire material to carry out a violent attack on Navy personnel in Toulon”.
While he was being monitored, he had a parcel delivered by the post office which was found to contain a combat knife and a mask.
During questioning he admitted he had been in contact with a Frenchman currently in Syria with the Islamic State (IS) group who had encouraged him to act, a source close to the case said….
One source said the French IS fighter had himself been held for several months in France for making violent threats against satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in 2012….
More than 500 French fighters are thought to be with IS in Syria and Iraq, according to official figures, while 250 have returned and some 750 expressed a desire to go there.

The inevitable backlash is coming.

I liked your article Peter, especially where you break down that Multiculuralism is a belief in a social/cultural model. Multiculturalism is in fact social theory in practice, but most people believe in it today as if it were not a theory, but a universal law of social science which leads to a utopian existance. Even suggesting nuance in the theory is to blaspheme the laws of nature.
It will be interesting to see how and when Europe melts down due to flaws related to Islam and multiculturalism. One guess is as good as any, but I agree there is a threshold equation which is in play, and it will be a cataclysmic dynamic.

France needs to reopen Devil’s Island.
Angemon says
And expand it – I don’t think it’s large enough as it is.

Why go to that trouble and expense? When you are at war, the objective is to kill the enemy before he gets to kill you.
Oliver says
Gbox– you are correct- and paraphrasing the great General Patton–( to paraphrase but reasonably close) a hero is not someone who dies for his country, but someone who makes the other sob die for his.
Kill the slime.
Let them go to Syria, but has often been said, not return. And hope that they get killed there.
Natalie says
Couldn’t agree more. Don’t understand any of these blind and overly politically correct western governments who are so desperate to keep these people. Let them go to Syria and get killed there. Don’t let them back in ever. Fighting for an enemy state is treason in any country.
Michael Copeland says
Taking up arms against the military of the state is surely treason, is it not?
There is presumably an old-fashioned penalty on the books.
Chris Round says
I don’t understand why governments are preventing these people from leaving the country. These monsters are determined to kill so preventing them from going just enables them to kill in our countries. They are too dangerous to keep so let them go and then bolt the door behind them.Then let the Russians take care of them.
TH says
France owns some tiny Pacific islands. They could put them to good use by sending off all such jihadis to such an island with a one way ticket and make them cultivate the land there to survive.

One muslim scholar has written In NYT How west is going to prevent when from each street corner their will be call For ALLAH O AKBAR .Can they think of bombing own streets.

The clash of civilisations is in full swing.
Why JIHAD WATCH is talking about “..more than 500 French fighters joining IS, 750 like to join IS, and 250 are back in France.”
These people are enemies of France and not anymore French citizens.
Those back again should be harsh punished.
Roger says
Open Intifada and/or Islamic Secessionist wars in Europe within a decade, guaranteed.
Westman says
Geert Wilders suggested the best policy for those leaving to fight for terrorists: “Let them go and never return”. He also said they should be formally stripped of citizenship.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yep. Exactly.
*Every* non-Muslim country that is currently afflicted with an Ummah colony and military bases (mosques) is having this problem…and the answer should be universally the same…let the aspiring jihadis trot off to Syria to be eaten up by the Russian bear, and even if they don’t get eaten, once they’ve gone: slam and bolt the door behind them, and annul their Infidel-country residency or citizenship and passports (since they have joined “Islamic State” and must be reasonably deemed to be enemy combatants)

Is *anyone* surprised by this? There are dozens of stories like this one:
“New headache for governments as extremists call on all Muslims to wage jihad at home”
PARIS – The Islamic State group’s call on Muslims to go after the “filthy French” and other Westerners multiplies already deep security concerns in nations targeting the militant organization.
The appeal made public Monday cynically turns all Muslims into the invisible enemy…
