France's Mistakes
There we are again, that bastion of liberal-democratic freedoms is once again intolerably persecuting its minority populations. France, the very home of liberty, equality, fraternity, has chosen to demonstrate its true colours of intolerance and oppression against those who feel they should have every right to practise as they preach.Yet official France disagrees, and in so doing has outraged the sensibilities of some of its citizens, affronted and severely offended by government actions.
"It is with indignation that I learned that the father of the killer of seven people ... wants to file a suit against France for the death of his son", fumed President Nicholas Sarkozy. Who does this man, running for re-election, think he is, anyway?
"If I were the father of such a monster, I would shut my mouth in shame", claimed Foreign Minister Alain Juppe. Who asked him; a grieving father, parent to jihadists, would prefer his jihad-planning-and-executing sons alive.
Is this not his human right? Do not citizens of France have such rights? Including the right to speak as they will, to harbour ill feelings against whom they will, and, albeit initially covertly, opt into political movements and religious heresies that clamour for recognition while ordering their rank-and-file to get out there in the public sphere and engage in public relations.
That they engage in violent destruction of others' lives is simply a manifestation of their action plan. Their God-given right to exert themselves in defence of the honour of Islam, degraded by the dreadful slanders imposed upon it by the West. And France is as representative as any other Infidel nation of a curse upon humanity.
So typical of a country like France to draw back in horror and call it terrorism. There was ample opportunity beforehand to weigh the situation, when restless youth, drawn to their peculiar mode of expression in the banlieues rampaged joyously and firecrackered and barbecued countless vehicles.
In the process making it clear that they, if not the government, took their entitlements in a free society quite seriously indeed. This is the tribal, Arab, traditional Middle Eastern way of settling differences. France's response to these traditions renders it a most suitable target for the avenging angels of jihad.
In the spirit of which Franco-Algerian nuclear scientist, Adlene Hicheur, exercised his freedom of choice in a world hostile to his beliefs, by unequivocally aligning himself with the plans of al-Qaeda. As a researcher studying the birth of the universe at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), he is companion to elites in Islamism with an intense interest in the work being carried out.
Al-Qaeda is as interested as any other intelligence-seeking source, in new findings that might consolidate their position as the world's current representative of the highest order of spiritual guidance. CERN laboratories and infiltration there can conceivably become a link to obtaining fissionable materials.
Islamic militants harbouring a deep belief that their time has finally arrived to achieve a universal Caliphate naturally wish to be represented in every sphere of human endeavour to carry out their spiritual mission in the name of Islam, which only vibrantly pursued jihad can accomplish.
Leave it to France's intelligence agency's suspicious nature, to link this brilliant scientist with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. Which, in its sublime state of hubris in conveying to official sources in France the depth of their surveillance and integration was itself responsible for alerting France's DCRI.
Dr. Hicheur's email exchanges with Mustapha Debchi revealed the connection they sought. Interfering in the lives of people, French authorities kept watch.
"Don't beat around the bush: Are you prepared to work in a unit becoming active in France?" pressed Mustapha Dehchi, from Algeria.French intelligence, failing to respect the privacy of citizens! "There is not the least proof of a beginning of a [terrorist] intention", insists Mr. Hicheur's lawyer, faulting "the steamroller of anti-terrorist justice", for implicating his client. "When the justice system gets going it finds it difficult to admit its mistakes."
"Concerning your proposal, the answer is of course YES but there are a few observations.... If your proposal relates to a precise strategy - such as working in the heart of the main enemy's house and emptying its blood of strength - then I should revise the plan that I've prepared", responded Adlene Hicheur from the Franco-Swiss border northwest of Geneva.
France would do well to step back from the brink it finds itself teetering toward. The UN's Human Rights Council may just feel justified in accepting resolutions that Syria may feel morally obligated to bring to their attention, denouncing the human rights abuses that France is pressing upon its citizens....
