They’re watching them, but they’re not stopping them. Imagine how different France would be today if French authorities had the will to stop these jihadis, and the determination not to allow any more to enter the country. But that would require a sea change in the French political establishment.
“Report: Nearly all terror attacks in France carried out by radicals already known to police,” by Ken Dilanian, NBC News, January 6, 2019:
WASHINGTON — The vast majority of terror attacks in France were carried out by Islamic radicals who had been known to police or intelligence services, according to a new report by a global security think tank.
Bratislava-based GLOBSEC examined 22 terror incidents in France since 2012. Nearly 80 percent of the people behind those attacks had been on a terror watchlist, and 97 percent had been on the radar of authorities, according to the firm’s new analysis, obtained by NBC News.
The figures included Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, career criminals with long records who killed 12 people in January 2015 in the offices of the satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris.
The statistics are likely to bolster the longstanding criticism leveled at France and other European countries that authorities are not doing enough to prosecute and imprison those who pose a threat. Statutes related to providing material support to terrorists, which carry long prison terms in the U.S., are not often prosecuted in France, and jail sentences are much shorter.
“The main issue throughout Europe is the sentencing, which is extremely lenient and also allows for terrorists/jihadists to be freed quite early for ‘good behavior,'” said London-based terror expert Olivier Guitta, founder and managing director of the security firm GlobalStrat….

It seems that at a minimum that any one on a watch list gits a thousand euros and sent back to their ethnic origins and the radical Inmans/Clerics also.
keith says
A thousand euros?? bullshit, that money could be better used to provide services to the victims of these arsholes.
What is the point of a “watch list”? It should be “detain and deport”.
Mac-101 says
U gotta supply a little carrot to git it passed.

“Nearly all terror attacks in France carried out by radicals already known to police”
WOW! Now, I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy all over! What a RELIEF! I’d bet my Social Security check that OUR intellectual, educated guardians and politicians have been watching “events” over the pond and some day will institute careful “watching” of USA ruffians the same wonderful way the Europeans are closely “watching” THEIR “new Citizens,” and PROTECTING US, with the very same layer of protection against, dare I say it…. muslim terrorists! (SOME sarcasm)

Ex-Muslims are not jihadists. The only way to stop the jihad is to begin a very serious program to convince Muslims that Islam is fake. Debunking Islam is the only way they will stop the jihadism. Jihadism is a core teaching of Islam, so if Islam is seen to be fabricated and spurious, jihad be without a purpose.

Mortimer, you ave never said why you think Muslims will listen to the “filthy Infidels”.
Savvy Kafir says
Excellent point! Muslims have no reason to listen to us criticizing or debunking their religion — and every reason to slit our throats if we try.
And the ex-Muslim community is certainly not up to the task. Even if some Muslims might be more inclined to listen to them, others will be motivated by both hate and scripture to murder them for apostasy.
Savvy Kafir says
The only way to stop the jihad against the West is to remove all Muslims from the West. Period. That’s it. Our focus should be on figuring out how to accomplish that, as quickly as possible.
It’s not even remotely possible to “deprogram” enough Muslims, fast enough, to save Western Civilization, now that the fast-breeding enemy is within the gates, in their millions.
Here’s how I know that to be true, Mortimer. Although your religion is certainly superior to Islam, it is every bit as “fake”. Christianity is a sham, from top to bottom. But I’d be willing to bet that, even if I were willing to waste my time on the attempt, I would NEVER be able to convince you of that, because you “know”, in the very core of your being, that your religion is based upon reality, rather than recycled mythology and superstition. And it’s the same with devout Muslims. But they’re even less likely to apostatize, because they have to worry about being murdered by their own families or neighbors if they decide to ditch their dopey dogma.
mortimer says
France should start paying Muslims to leave France. It’s cheaper than all the policing.
Savvy Kafir says
France should start deporting Muslims at gunpoint, right now — before it’s too late to turn back the tide of Islam.
Mccode says
Wowee — Zowee !
I’m sure everyone of the grieving families and friends of the victims are reassured that the perpetrators were being ‘watched’ by the authorities.
What a shameful situation. How contemptible.

“Known Wolves” that hunt as a pack.
Creating distractions, confusion, feinting, lying,
So we should know koran, abrogation, hadith, sunnah, as part of knowing your enemy.
To know of the “perfect man” that muslims seek.
Mohammad’s sayings, actions and deeds, that guide and are acted on by all muslims.
Our intelligence systems have often been denied knowledge about islam, it teachings and history.
Our media, academia, hide the knowledge to the general public.

I usually try to stick to the subject in these threads and I apologize in advance if this one strays a bit. Not too far, because the facts in the article above about the French authorities are not occurring by accident. It is the product of intention.
Please watch the linked video and read the English subtitles translated from French . It is not often that one piece of performance art so elegantly reveals and then lampoons the true elite authors of the destruction of Europe, the treason of its elitist leaders, and the subjugation of its citizens. I hope readers here enjoy it, and if so, spread it widely.
You could show this video to the confused and indoctrinated youth in our colleges and high schools and it still would not cause them to even question the masters who they really serve with their phony Social Justice Warrior pride and nobility.
