- A silent war against
French police and firefighters is in full swing. "2,280
firefighters were assaulted in 2016... As a result, the police
are called to certain areas just to protect the
firefighters." — National Observatory of Delinquency,
Radio Europe 1.
- Two Paris police
officers, who risked their lives to save children from a
burning apartment, were attacked and stoned by a mob when they
emerged from the blaze carrying the children in their arms.
- As usual,
politicians are minimizing the problem. The government does
not consider the spread of urban violence to be terrorism. As
usual, the government will try to buy peace with money.

France's Minister of the Interior, Gerard Collomb,
was clearly happy on January 1st. Why? No terrorist attack had
occurred on New Year's Eve. Collomb warmly thanked the 140,000
police officers, soldiers, firefighters, and civil security
associations who had been mobilized to block any potential
terrorist attack. To give just an inkling of the size of this
security deployment on New Year's Eve, consider that the entire
French army (land forces only) consists of only about 117,000
active-duty soldiers.
All French governments since 2015 have denied that
Islam is at war with France, but the Ministry of the Interior
nevertheless mobilized higher numbers of security personnel than
the French army has soldiers, to make sure that this New Year's Eve
would be a peaceful event.
In a press release, Minister Collomb said:

- Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau of Canada has an nine-year long record of
supporting the Islamist cause while refusing to engage with
reformist Muslims.
- Perhaps most
disturbing were Trudeau's comments to a gathering of Islamist
front groups: he told them that he shared their beliefs, their
set of values and their shared vision.
- Canada will not be
able to plead ignorance or inability while facing accusations
of complicity from any future American terrorist victims.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada has an
nine-year long record of supporting the Islamist cause while
refusing to engage with reformist Muslims. With respect to ISIS
fighters returning to Canada, Trudeau has argued that they will be
a "powerful voice for deradicalization" and that those
who oppose their return are "Islamophobic." Furthermore,
the Government of Canada is not adding the names of returning ISIS
fighters to the UN committee responsible for the listing of
international jihadists.

- The "Lawrence
of Arabia" syndrome goes back to Old Europe. It is the
snobbery of people who become enamored with exotic cultures.
There is a romanticism surrounding the Middle East, associated
with magic carpets and Aladdin lamps. But with that
romanticism comes fear, as well – fear of... invading
Islamists who slit people's throats.
- This fear has led
European states to try and do business with terrorist groups.
In the early 1980s, for example, Italian officials forged a
secret deal with Palestinian terrorists, which culminated not
in cooperation, but in a series of deadly attacks...
- Too many lies have
been the basis of international relations. These include
"dialogue" between religions to counter Islamist
terrorism; the false notion of the "peaceful
aspirations" of the Palestinians; the view that Turkey is
a "bridge" to the Muslim world; the ridiculous view
of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani as a "moderate";
the belief in a "united Europe" as the future of the
old continent; and faith in the U.N. as a legal arbiter for
international affairs. Policies based on these lies are not
only fruitless; they are dangerous.

As an expert in global terrorism, anti-Semitism,
Middle East wars and European policy, Fiamma Nirenstein has been
following the popular uprising in Iran with particular interest.
Nirenstein – award-winning journalist, best-selling author, former
MP of the Italian Parliament and a fellow at the JCPA and says that
just as former U.S. President Ronald Reagan's election and foreign
policy were instrumental in the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991,
President Donald Trump is probably responsible for the street
demonstrations across Iran that could lead to the downfall of the
ayatollah-led Islamic Republic.
Nirenstein says that Europe, which has been silent
on the uprisings in Iran, can no more take credit for this welcome
turn of events than it could for the defeat of the U.S.S.R. -- or even
of Hitler's Third Reich. It is America, she asserts, that has
always been at the forefront of the struggle for freedom from the
bondage of dictators; it is America that always saves Europe.
