Thibault De Montbrial: France Has Been At War Now For Several Years

Here.

It’s a war at the moment still of “low intensity” but of far greater intensity than the public knows, because there are many plots that have been foiled, and never come to light, and others that have been given less attention than they deserve — French people, like others in the West, now note only the most spectacular.

He mentions here and there, about the “radicalisation” of Muslims in France but it is clear that he understands that the basis for the war being waged on France is not a mutant form of Islam, but Islam itself, now being grasped, and not rejected, but accepted, by Muslims who, more and more, are willing, once the full message of Islam is brought, and repeatedly, to their attention, to participate directly in Jihad using the instruments of qitaal (combat) and terrorism.
