Why France Is Attacked By Jihad
concentration than all other western countries. Terror attacks against
the French is much more common
than you might think. Thousands of young people have left France to
fight on the side of ISIS or affiliated groups in and around Iraq and
Syria.
The murderous attack on the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, were by two disaffected men of Algerian descent. France has suffered eight attacks in the last 12 months, the latest the most deadly in France’s history.
It should be of no surprise that whilst politicians and the media
have jumped at the opportunity to blame ISIS, Syria, refugees and leaky
borders, no investigation has taken place or evidence forensically
examined and presented. But one thing is known, France is a target by
the Muslim community for far more than engaging in Syria recently.
No other western country has had so much involvement in the Middle
East and the Muslim world. France in the past has viewed countries like
Algeria and lebanon
as nothing more than part of its empire – a resource to exploit. After
the disaster that was World War One, France seized control over Syria
and Lebanon. After dominating these countries and with the subsequent
ending of World War Two, France then faced a new conflict in 1954 that
it is paying for today.
France only left Algeria after a bloody conflict against the Algerian Independence Movement
that lasted eight years from 1954 to 1962. This was a decolonisation
war, characterised by guerrilla warfare and terrorism and widespread use
of torture on both sides. Subsequently, 91% of French people voted in
favour of independence for Algeria with French international prestige
shattered and nearly one million Algerians (who fought for the French)
fleeing to France.
