French security chief: ISIS plans new wave of jihad attacks in France, uses migrant routes to get jihadis to Europe

May 19, 2016 3:06 pm By Robert Spencer

Yet no one seems interested in stopping the migrant influx. To do so would be “Islamophobic.”

Patrick Calvar

“French security chief warns Islamic State plans wave of attacks in France,” by John Irish, Reuters, May 19, 2016 (thanks to Tara):

Islamic State militants are gearing up for a campaign of bomb attacks on large crowds in France, host to next month’s Euro 2016 soccer championships, its spy chief has said.

Rare remarks by Patrick Calvar, the head of France’s DGSI internal intelligence agency, to the parliament’s defense committee spelled out “a new form of attack … characterized by placing explosive devices in places where there are large crowds and repeating this type of action to create a climate of maximum panic.

“Clearly, France is the most threatened and we know that Daesh (Islamic State) is planning new attacks,” Calvar told the committee on May 10, according to a transcript of his testimony released to the media on Thursday.

The comments came six months after militants killed 130 people in coordinated assaults on cafes, bars, a soccer stadium and a music hall across Paris.

He said the militant group had the numbers to launch the new attacks, including some 645 French citizens or residents currently in Syria or Iraq, of which 400 were fighters. A further 201 were either in transit to or from the region, he said.

Euro 2016 starts on June 10 and runs for a month at 10 stadiums across France. About 2.5 million spectators are expected for 51 soccer matches involving 24 teams. There will also be “fan zones” for crowds watching games on big screens in major cities….

Referring to the Arabic acronym for Islamic State, Calvar said Daesh was still using the same migrant routes through the Balkans to get its fighters into Europe….

    What’s wrong with this greasy Islamophobe? Why isn’t he towing the official party line that migrants are all good? Is he trying to undermine the invasion??? Remove him immediately!

    • Myxlplik says

      May 19, 2016 at 3:26 pm

      I don’t think Patrick Calvar is trying to undermine the invasion. The truth is, that as Muslim demographics rise jihad violence will rise. This is the “tiny minority of extremists” meme, but ISIS could be replaced by any other label. This Jihad violence boils down to Islam and the large French Muslim demographic.

      He is trying to make the attacks seem like a foreign entity, but in reality it’s domestic civil …. ( lets call it ) strife at this point. France is becoming, and I’ll use one of Roberts favorite descriptors of Jihad violence, more “restive” with every tic of the clock.

        Lebanon in the early 1970s should have been a pointer for this. That was the laboratory test. The growing Muslim population started the civil war whilst Christians still made up over 50% of the Lebanese population. Now 40 years later, Christians now make up around 27% of the population. This is the future of France.

        • Rob says

          May 19, 2016 at 10:07 pm

          Lebanese Christians were lulled into thinking that their Arab identity mattered more than their Christian identity.
          You are right about the result though.
          Ask most people and they’ll say Israel was to blame for the train wreck of Lebanon.

      • Anne Smith says

        Too late, they have started and will probably continue until they have finished. The plane bombing now shows that they can get their operatives anywhere they like. How many Muslims work at Charles de Gaulle airport? There can never be security while a single Muslim is allowed near an aeroplane.

      WE French fight a naghty war in Algaria when we were 15 % of the population up to 1962.when we had to evacuate the place in panics.

      Our pregnant were hanged alive belly openned and foetus pending.So, we are not surprised. We know the Arabs quiet well.

    As for those jihadists of ISIS with the vicious scheming for future jihad attacks against the people of France.. Even before those November 13 Paris Islamic attacks the fiendish Muslim members of ISIS had revealed their malicious and murderous intentions against the French. For example in a ISIS audio recording ISIS officially declared “If you see a disbelieving American or European – especially the spiteful and filthy French… .kill him in any manner or way however you are able.” [1] The ISIS villains had even in this recording had exposed their own malice-filled and callous hearts. Furthermore ,the jihadists who compose ISIS have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since its the ISIS thugs who ,many times over, have murdered people in many extremely cruel and hideous ways. Likewise , the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy’ since it’s the jihadists of ISIS who have raped both girls and women.

    We should have listened to Enoch Powell in 1968 whilst it was still possible to do something. Instead, we dismissed him as a bigot, and 48 years on, this is what it’s come to. His Rivers of Blood speech is becoming frightfully true.

    • Judi says

      May 19, 2016 at 7:00 pm

      Spirit – Enoch Powell, in his infamous “rivers of blood” speech was referring to black immigration. Muzzrats/Arabs in those days were people who were thought of as being Middle Eastern, living in tents and riding camels. Never in his worst nightmare could he have envisioned what the future held for Europe and the rest of the world. He must be turning in his grave.

      • SpiritOf1683 says

        May 20, 2016 at 4:39 am

        There are plenty of black Muslims, especially in France. Any immigration from a hostile ideology eventually means suffering for the gullible host. He was right after all. And back then, the unconvinced only needed to look at Israel, for as we can now see, we are starting to get the problems the Israelis have had to put up with for 68 years – years in which they’ve had to endure endless bullcrap lectures from an unsuspecting politically correct West. Walking a mile in the Israelis shoes won’t be a pleasant experience for Western novices, especially when the Israelis have had 50 years more experience of dealing with islamic terrorism than the West. Our big lesson started in 2001, but it seems we have been behaving like the class dunce ever since.

        • carpediadem says

          May 20, 2016 at 5:01 am

          The main reason the Israelis have had to put up with all the Islamic garbage and Eurosmug is because of the Euro funding of jihad via the EuroArab Dialogue.

          They sold the Jews to the Muslims – as usual.

  5. Zeke Zike says

    May 19, 2016 at 4:10 pm

    Duh?…..Muslims are violent, raping, slave taking, pedophile, savages…..WHO KNEW?

    (Apparently not this Frog)

    Zeke’s answer: Give out Glock 19’s to all non-Muslim residents with training. Form Civil defense groups/networks. Lock up ANYONE advocating violence/Jihad. Deport ANYONE who refuses to get into the French, “Melting Pot”.

    Build walls, use the French Navy to blockade their coasts.

    No I am not a NAZI, just a simple Bible Preaching Presbyterian, who believes in the right to self defense.

    • linnte says

      May 19, 2016 at 5:31 pm

      I think your answer is excellent! I don’t see you as a Nazi! Self defense is a necessity and the EU people have NONE! It is actually illegal to defend oneself in some places. If I had the way and means I would run guns to Europe. Seriously. And pepper spray too.

      • Anne Smith says

        May 20, 2016 at 4:23 am

        Not right. The EU people have plenty of intent to use self defense but their pusillanamous governments forbid this. Carrying pepper spray is an offence in many EU countries, British are not allowed to carry guns or defend themselves.
        The poor electorate are sitting ducks for the jihadis. It is about time the British electorate realised this and voted their existing Governments out.

        • linnte says

          May 20, 2016 at 5:43 am

          That’s what I said. The government prevents the people from defending themselves!

    • Polk1970 says

      May 19, 2016 at 10:49 pm

      Say Mr. Presbyterian,
      Do you personally repudiate the Presbyterian Church’s Anti-Semitism and Hatred to Israel and her people,including participating in BDS?
      S orry,but you DID identify yourself as Presbyterian.
      and the question had to be asked.

        May 20, 2016 at 6:56 am

        Many thinking members from most Protestant churches disagree with the PC edicts from the denominational HQ. Often this compliance with PC rules is necessary in order to maintain government funding for social outreach works and programs.

    The West needs security chiefs who don’t just go on about the possibility of specific Islamic terrorist attacks being just around the bend but rather security chiefs who openly state that Islam is a mortal enemy of freedom and thus a truly lethal danger to the West.

    Not there yet. Not even close to “there” yet. Better get to “there” sooner rather than later because time is running out. In short, the West needs a whole new set of security chiefs—–and a whole new set of politicians——-and an informed, non PC/MC media (good luck, eh?)——-and academics who have both feet on the ground (good luck again, eh?)—–and……..and…… and….. Oh yeah, not there yet.

    Pathetic. Indefensible Lethal.

    Once upon a time, France was very French – and VERY protective of French culture.

    What happened???

    It’s become Francistan. A caricature right out of Morier’s “Hajji Baba.”

    Unbelievable.

    This is the month of Shaban 1437 – don’t forget to fast on the 13,14,15 ( this Friday, sat and sun )

    Next month is Ramadan, that’s June 6 in real time, assuming the astrologers in Saudi Arabia can see the moon (observation of the crescent starting on the moon begins the month )
    I suppose if no one lookers at the moon, the month would not change.

    I wonder if more attacks are planned now, so they can have something to pray about come Ramadan.

    I can just imagine a jihadis prayers “oh Allah, most merciful, thank you for guiding me in the murder of 10 infidels, and the rape of 27 kuffar women, and finding 3 willing suicide bombers to do your will. Please guide me to more killings and more rapes, as that is what you have commanded of me, and I am willing to be your slave; especially with raping and pillaging.”

      May 19, 2016 at 10:50 pm

      Calipha I am wondering if you know…do Muslims all pray the same thing every day, or do they ad lib, as per their needs, like Christians do?

      • خَليفة says

        May 21, 2016 at 5:43 pm

        Muslim prayer is obligatory 5 times a day – you can make up for missed prayer at the next time. Muslim prayer is repetitive and ritualistic and much the same for all Muslims.
        According to Islam, Allah only hears prayers in Arabic.

        Bill Warner explains about the meaning of some of those obligatory prayers
        Another great source about political Islam.
        https://www.politicalislam.com/prayers-for-kafirs/

        Muslims can optionally pray anytime about anything. Muslims don’t have that personal relationship with Allah, so they don’t pray in the spontaneous way which many Christians do.

        Here you can read about how Muslims do the obligatory pray 5 times a day.
        Notice step 5, reciting sura 1:7 – those who have gone astray…
        http://raleighmasjid.org/how-to-pray/salah.htm

        But where does 5 prayers a day come from? The Koran? Nope.
        Christian Prince explains – a bit wordy, but with Islamic references.

    So the French security chief has expressed his concerns. Did his concerns extend to the latest (supposed) terror attack on a civilian airliner. Air Egypt flying out of a major French airport would be a very soft and easy target. (As in my brother Muhammad is a “trusted” baggage handler..)

      No doubt if this is shown to be yet another daesch outrage the French Government will gravely proclaim they are at war and then do next to nothing.The public will go into self pity mode,light a few candles,gather in the streets of Paris hug and kiss each other,proclaim Je suis passengers go home and await the next mass murder,probably at the Euro soccer finals later this year.PATHETIC

    Jihadis are coming with immigrants. Immigrants will live in ghettos. They will enjoy the savings of hard working Europeans. Use their pension funds, tax money and enjoy the employment and unemployment benefits. More children means more benefits.

    Then from these ghettos will come the gangs of crooks who will frisk, steal, shop lift and rape. Then the locK Europeans will start looking to shift from vicinity of these ghettos to avoid friction. The shopkeepers and bars will start paying protection money as these small gangs transform into crime syndicate. The ghettos will expand and encroach as much space as possible. The mosques will come up as a venue for get together for praying and planning. Then some Sharia courts will spring up backed by these crime syndicates and local mosque. Slowly they will settle their disputes in local Sharia courts. Non Muslim’s and police will avoid going to these places.

    You know where the future terrorists are coming from, and the number will not be in double or triple digits. As there are more than a million immigrants.

    #ImmigrantsAreMerkelsGift to Europe.
