GUY MILLIERE: WE ARE AT WAR AGAINST JIHADIST TERRORISM
Guy Millière – I am, as many people in France and in the world, absolutely horrified by what happened Wednesday, January 7 at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo, of course.
I am especially my route crossed that of many of those who died. We disagreed on many subjects, but I liked their impertinence and I say, they were people without malice, and able to be bold when it came to personal freedom.
What was murdered, it’s impertinence. It is also the right to be disrespectful vis-à-vis a religion I have no need to name here.
Charb, Cabu, Wolinski, Tignous were equally irreverent vis-à-vis Christianity: who can imagine that a Christian would have thought to kill for it?
One religion still provides the disrespect it deserves murder. And one religion involves acting out in such cases. One religion preaches in its sacred texts, the holy war.
A horror that I could feel was added, I must say, a form of nausea. Journalists who have shown many times that they had nothing to do with freedom of speech, which called, there a few more days, censorship against Eric Zemmour, which excluded Renaud Camus circles well pensance , which enclose the thought in France in the isolation of the “politically correct” and that would have remained silent and indifferent if the victims had been the seat of a conservative newspaper, appeared, in one go, like the followers uncompromising a freedom to say everything supposed characterize France, “free country.” In reality, the freedom of speech in France is restricted and suffocated, and these journalists have, consciously or not, contributed to this restriction and this asphyxiation.
A nausea, has added home a malaise that has been growing. Journalists who have contributed to the aforesaid restriction and suffocation have, with few exceptions, continued not to practice freedom of speech and to continue the restriction and asphyxiation. Almost all political leaders, starting with François Hollande, have followed suit, and, almost all, a speech that falls itself of the restriction and asphyxia.
Explicitly say that the murders were committed in the name of Islam, because the name of Mohamed was “insulted” by mocking comedy, and that Islam as it does not tolerate considered under the blasphemy was apparently too say.
To say that the terrorists have acted in the name of Allah, they loudly proclaimed, and had reason to think that they were driving and good Muslims, was also too say.
To drive the point home, dignitaries and Muslim intellectuals were invited to speak, and, of course, says one after the other that Islam was not violent, those who killed were foreign to Islam and even those who had killed wanted “dirty” Islam.
Dalil Boubaker, who was one of the first to go after Charlie Hebdo at the publication of caricatures of Mohammed, was in this context, cut new clothes, and became an advocate of Charlie Hebdo. Representatives of the UOIF, French branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, spoke in the same tone as Boubaker. Malek Chebel spoke for the thousandth time an “Islam of the Enlightenment” which we almost look in vain for traces in almost all the Muslim world today.
All have left aside the fact, yet very significant that when Muhammad cartoons were published for the first time, millions of people throughout the dar al-Islam stood up to shout and ask for the death of the cartoonists.
No one has mentioned the current situation of freedom of speech, religious pluralism and non-violence in almost all Muslim countries in the world. Evoking this would contradict the words of so blatantly that silence was obviously preferable.
We spoke again here or there of “Islam of France” that is no more than Islam Luxembourg or of Morbihan.
The terrorist and murderous action against Charlie Hebdo was presented as a criminal act and a terrorist action almost never as what it was: an Islamic jihadist efforts on behalf of principles that are the subject of Qur’anic injunctions validated by hundreds of scholars.
It was little attached to other recent actions with cries of Allahu Akbar, in Joue-les-Tours, Dijon, Le Mans, perhaps in Nantes. She was extremely low close of Islamic jihadists crimes committed in Montauban and Toulouse by Mohamed Merah in Brussels or by Medhi Nemmouche recent weeks in other countries, Canada or the US, UK or Australia.
Some commentators have raised a war against terrorism and said he had acted against Charlie Hebdo, an act of war when George W. Bush was speaking, there are eight or ten years of war against terrorism and need to see the Muslim world turn into deep, it was covered all sides racist, fascist and moron, including by people who currently use the same words as he. When Binyamin Netanyahu, speaking in the war against Hamas, and after attacks on synagogues in Paris and the Paris region, said that jihadist war against Israel was about to reach France, and that the jihadists were not limited to want to kill Jews, his words had fallen into a chilling silence.
Commentators who spoke of war are made somewhat more explicit with the hostage taking of Dammartin en Goële and death “shahid”, weapons in hand, face to police, the killers of Charlie Hebdo, and taking hostage the store Hide Hyper Porte de Vincennes (where, alas, three hostages appear to have died).
They were not explicit enough.
We are at war, yes. And those who say it should go through their words: we are at war against jihadist terrorism. We are not at war with all Muslims, of course.
But the fact remains: Jihadist terrorism is not external to Islam. All Muslims are not jihadists terrorists: it bears repeating, however, that all the jihadi terrorists are Muslims.
It also prevents and it must be said, the war we said jihadist terrorism is a world war, and France is only one of the fronts of the war.
Nevertheless, finally, and it must be said also: France is a country particularly affected by this war, and what happened to Charlie Hebdo is able to reproduce elsewhere. Walid Phares, one of my American friends, and one of the best connoisseurs of jihadism, he told me a few years ago that when writers and journalists murders begin to occur in a Western country, it would be an important signal showing a step in the jihadist climbing is crossed. This step is taken.
Other not be overcome, sooner or later.
French prisons are major recruiting sites in the service of jihadism, dozens of mosques and Muslim associations in France are also recruiting grounds. Entire neighborhoods on the outskirts of large cities have become what one researcher there a few years ago called the “suburbs of Islam”, and what prevails is the law of the bands and the imams not always Chalghoumi moderate the imam, a highly respectable man, but that Muslims in France see numbers as a traitor, and lives under threat.
What the authors of a book called it a few years the ” lost territories * “Has grown. Islamic anti-Semitism and Islamic hatred of the West have grown too.
Islamic jihadist networks dormant and able to be activated are present throughout the French territory as the territory of other Western countries, and people trained in Yemen, Syria, the Sahel are back in France, ready to act. Weapons caches ready-to-use exist, many more than we think.
This is truthfully the fight starts. For now, hardly anyone dares to tell the truth in France nor, for most, journalists or political leaders. This shows rather than the fight is, perhaps, already lost.
Thousands of people, led by the major media, said in recent days: “We are all Charlie.” Imagining defend freedom of expression moribund and dying pluralism. A few more days, and they forget. Those who spin their webs, they do not forget their purpose. What will those who said “We are all Charlie” at the upcoming murder and hostage-taking next? I would have liked to see them as massively mobilized after school attack Ozar HaTorah Toulouse or of the Brussels Jewish Museum.

A manifestation of “national unity” will be held on Sunday to defend the “Republic” and “values.” It will take place, and then we will move on to something else, forgetting that the Republic is now a word that is no longer the same screen with the reality of a society torn apart, eaten from the inside, where, among the spread of radical Islam and jihadism in some, and fear (very based) of Islam among others, there is nothing but a set of empty speeches that sound wrong because they within imposture.
What would be required immediately, without waiting, would be a solemn declaration explicitly telling people what is reality. It would necessitate a Churchill. We have a Holland. Nicolas Sarkozy was more presidential than Holland, and he spoke of a “war against civilization.” But it is not in power.
It is in any case a fact.
We are at war against jihadist terrorism, and this is a world war, engaged here more than a decade.
A war is won or lost: for now, we’re not winning, and we are rather in losing.
If well beyond France, the West did not mobilize to win the war, and that globally, the future looks bleak.
While in France, firmer decisions are not taken quickly, the future of France will be dark even faster than other regions of the planet.
Ivan Rioufol, for whom I have great respect, wrote these last days, “it is urgent that the spirits finally wake up and continue to take refuge in the comfort of appeasement, pacifism and good feelings.” I could not agree more. I would like to be certain that the spirits wake.
Jacques Tarnero another man for whom I have great respect, wrote to him: “Enter the jihad in the category of crimes against humanity would already be a strong warning shot against those who dress their crimes mask a cultural difference. “ I share this idea. Jihad is a crime against humanity. And it is this crime against humanity that was committed in Paris, Montrouge and Vincennes 7, 8 and 9 January. It is this crime against humanity that is done wherever jihad hits every time it hits.
