Islam Pushing France Towards Civil War: Generals Warn President Macron

[G.L.R.]

Macron can't ignore furious generals' warning that terror  attacks & 'Islamist hordes' are pushing France towards civil war

June 26, 2021

A warning from 20 retired army generals that the 'Islamist  hordes of the banlieue' are causing France to disintegrate has been  dismissed by the government. But as the terrorist atrocities continue,  many citizens share their fears.

Although France is home to  Europe's largest Muslim population, the simmering tensions over Islam's  place in the secular republic are only ever a news cycle away from  boiling over. In the space of just a week, there has been  controversy over a court decision to free a killer without charge, the  murder of a police worker on the steps of her station and a call to arms  from a group of retired generals who warn the actions of Islamist  "hordes in the banlieue" risk the disintegration of the country and  civil war. Frankly, it's hard to keep up. But while President  Emmanuel Macron's officials dismiss as bitter pensioners a gang of  retired military ... They make no bones about it. "France is disintegrating," 20 retired generals and another 80 officers wrote in a letter published by Valeurs Actuelles magazine. "Disintegrating with the Islamists of the hordes of the banlieue who are detaching swathes of the nation and turning them into territory subject to dogmas contrary to our constitution," they continued.

"It is no  longer time to procrastinate, otherwise tomorrow the civil war will put  an end to this growing chaos, and the deaths, for which you will bear  the responsibility, will number in the thousands." Strong  language, for sure, but maybe they are right. All too often another  Islamist atrocity takes place on French soil. Over the past four years,  14 attacks carried out in the name of radical Islam have resulted in the  deaths of 25 people in France, and 36 others have been foiled ... The most recent was Friday, when mother-of-two Stéphanie Monfeture, a 49-year-old police worker, had her throat cut in the entrance hall of the Rambouillet police station by a 36-year-old Tunisian national, identified only as Jamel G, shouting the terrorist mantra of "Allahu Akbar".   Because a court has decided  not to send to trial the 27-year-old man who attacked, stabbed and  threw the 65-year-old Jewish woman, a retired doctor and kindergarten teacher, who was his neighbour, from her third-floor balcony while repeatedly crying "Allahu Akbar!"

The court agreed with a panel of  psychiatrists that Kobili Traoré was so stoned on marijuana during the  attack on Mme Halimi in 2017 that he could not be held criminally  responsible, and therefore would not face trial.  Considering what  appears to be a gross miscarriage of justice and the relentless bloody  assaults on regular French citizens going about their daily lives, you  start to understand where the generals are coming from... National Rally leader Marine Le Pen quickly moved to side with the generals. "As a citizen and as a woman politician, I subscribe to your analysis and share your suffering," ...  "Wanting to politicise the armies is to weaken France," the minister scolded. "Shame on those who, for personal interest, weaken France. The army of the Republic is at the service of the nation. And no one else." It wasn't just Le Pen she was pointing her finger at either...

Excerpt: The lead signatory was Christian Piquemal, 80, who commanded the Foreign Legion before losing his privileges as a retired officer after being arrested while taking part in an anti-Islam demonstration in 2016. It was written by Jean-Pierre Fabre-Bernadac, a former officer, and signed by 1000 others who were in lower ranks.

There are some five million Muslims in France - the largest community of its kind in western Europe - and many have backgrounds in former colonies, such as Algeria.

The Rassemblement National used to be called the Front National (National Front), and was founded by Ms Le Pen's father, the convicted anti-Semite, racist and Islamophobe, Jean-Marie Le Pen.
