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

271 jihadis have returned to France from the Islamic State, only some are in custody

Aug 6, 2017 2:02 pm By Robert Spencer

What could possibly go wrong, you racist, bigoted “Islamophobe”?

In reality, these people are enemy combatants. They joined an entity that considers itself to be at war with France, and that has repeatedly called upon Muslims in France to murder French civilians. These jihadis should never have been allowed back into France. If a group of French Nazis had left France for Nazi Germany in 1937 and wanted to return in January 1940, would they have been allowed back in?

“France has seen 271 militants return from Iraq and Syria,” Reuters, August 8, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

France has seen 271 militants return from war zones in Iraq and Syria and all of them are subject to investigation by public prosecutors, the country’s interior minister said in a newspaper interview.

Some 700 French nationals are estimated to have fought in ISIS ranks in Iraq and Syria, and like other European countries France has been wrestling with how to handle the flow of so-called returnees.

The number of militants to have returned to France included 217 adults and 54 minors, with some of them currently in detention, Gerard Collomb said in an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche….

French military interventions overseas have exposed it to attacks by Islamist militants at home. Gunmen and suicide bombers killed 130 people in and around Paris in November 2015 and over 100 were killed in other Islamist attacks in France in the past two-and-a-half years.

No, mass Muslim migration has exposed France to attacks by Islamic jihadists at home.

Collomb said the threat of militant attacks was “very high”, citing two incidents targeting police on Paris’ Champs Elysees and seven foiled plots so far this year.

An increasing number of people were being flagged under a preventative monitoring system for radicalized behavior, with more than 18,500 people reported, he said….

    The French are nuts. As is everyone who does not oppose Islam.

      The Liberal Left have to be defeated first. Every country, state/province, county, city, riding or division has them. They have to be defeated first. They are the root problem.

    Yes, the returning Jihadis pose an imminent threat, but there is a much bigger threat looming – the rapidly islamizing youth in France which increasingly separates itself from Western society, breeds the islamist mindset and hatred towards Dar al Harb. It’s a ticking time bomb which keeps being swept under the carpet. No leader is brave enough to point out the elephant in the room (Islam), and instead defaults to blaming society for failing the “vulnerable” youth while smearing those daring to speak the truth.

    Even if France managed to close it’s borders, imprison returning jihadis and limited immigration from Muslim countries – all this would only happen under Le-Pen – the biggest threat would continue growing until society is at it’s knees. The “salvation” will be submission to Islam in the form of ending free speech (the French already lost that one), and accommodating other aspects of Sharia law. I think France is first in line given it’s size and rapid growth of Muslim population, and other European countries will follow such as Sweden and the UK. Those with the backbone to actively resist this dark future is a tiny minority, vilified by the majority and increasingly at risk of hate speech laws by authorities – at the time of writing this, there simply isn’t any significant resistance to an Islamic conquest and the effort to destroy it is on the rise – Islam is being handed the victory on a silver plate.

      “Islam is being handed the victory on a silver plate”

      That is so true. Just imagine what would have happened if we had leaders like these in the 9th century…. we would have been overrun in a few years for sure!

      Too bad liberals today think they can defeat them with flowers and teddy bears…. well, actually they aren’t even thinking about defeating them, or at least keeping them out of our borders.

    For Reuters to suggest that the jihadist reason for attacking France is the participation of French troops in the Middle East is ridiculous. They want to kill infidels, articulately Jews and Christians. France at least fought back the Nazis for a brief time when they invaded, not much time but now they are doing nothing while the enemy invades them.

    The descent of Western Europe continues. I blame this first and foremost on fools like Macron, May, Merkel and the present Pope more than I do on the barbarians, i.e., devout Muslims. After all, self-inflicted wounds are the worst of all, just as, extrapolating to the macrocosm here, societies are far more likely to die from within than from without. And inviting barbarians into your midst is probably the classic example above all, minus a negation of pride in your own heritage anymore (which leftists are superb at “accomplishing”), of death from within.

    P.S. The negation of pride I mentioned above and the willing inviting in of barbarians are often quite related, “tied at the hip” and all that. I’m thinking the Late Roman Empire here as an example, for instance Emperor Valens being killed at Adrianople in 378 A.D. by Visigothic barbarians previously invited into the confines of the Empire’s boundaries as a way of placating them. And here’s the worst of it with this example: I would take Visigoths, were they still around, over Islamic terrorist groups any day of the week. The no longer Visigoths were positively enlightened compared to the devout followers of Mo’s creed——–whatever the era.

      True, Wellington–the late Roman Empire is a cautionary tale for us. I hope it is not a model.

    ………………………

    And the ones who are running around loose are plotting violent Jihad against the native French. Madness.

      And while they are running around loose plotting violent Jihad, how much damage are they inflicting on the general population as per rapes, beatings, threats, extortion etc. Evilness left to run amok. Must hold the decision makers in government responsible.

    “… In reality, these people are enemy combatants. They joined an entity that considers itself to be at war with France, and that has repeatedly called upon Muslims in France to murder French civilians…”

    Precisely and that is why, having been (wrongly) let in, they should now all be locked up. No one is being helped by this pussyfooting around except for the enemy combatants themselves. Once the first comprehensive lock up has been carried out subsequent apprehensions and incarceration should not be so difficult. Furthermore, all of these detainees should be tried in military courts and extradited to foreign jurisdictions if they can be found to have committed war crimes against civilians while abroad.

    Absolute deprogramming is the answer to rehabilitating jihadists. Indoctrinated jihadists must be deprogrammed right out of Islam through exposure at the university level to the Revisionist Theory of Islamic studies that teaches that the primitive Islamic community was not Islamic at all, but became so only through the mythologizing work of caliphs following Abd al Malik. Islam is, in other words, a complete hoax. Once jihadis realize that Islam was concocted as a fake religion, then they will leave it with confidence.
