You’d think that with the Islamization of France proceeding apace, that ISIS would be content to wait. But the jihadis are impatient.
“France races to head off ISIS-K threat to Paris Olympics,” by Gabriel Stargardter and Juliette Jabkhiro, Reuters, July 19, 2024:
PARIS, July 19 (Reuters) – Tajik journalist Temur Varki received a disquieting call from Paris police in late March, days after Islamic State militants from his homeland allegedly carried out a massacre in Moscow.
The two officers questioned him about France’s tiny community of immigrants from Tajikistan, an impoverished former Soviet republic in Central Asia.“Who do you know? How many? Where?” Varki recalled the officers asking, with one of them speaking Russian, a commonly used language across Central Asia. Varki, a political refugee in France who has worked for outlets including the BBC, told the police callers he knew a handful of Tajiks in the country, mainly fellow emigres and dissidents.
“But I don’t know any jihadists,” he told them.
Ahead of the Paris Olympics that begin on July 26, French security services have been racing to address an intelligence blind spot and forge deeper ties with Tajiks and other Central Asians in the country, according to more than a dozen people with knowledge of the drive. They include current and former intelligence officials, police, diplomats and Central Asian migrants who have been contacted by authorities….
French authorities say they have already foiled one Islamist attack on the Olympics, with the arrest in late May of an 18-year-old Chechen man suspected of planning a suicide mission on behalf of Islamic State at Saint-Etienne’s soccer stadium, where France, the United States and Ukraine will play….

The French will always surf on the back side of the wave. I have no faith in them to stop any jihadist activity.
Rick Gordon says
I hope and pray that French officials are able to protect the Olympics and their participants from jihadists. I especially hope that French officials are able to protect American and Israeli athletes during the Games.
Tony Rice says
The time has come when the immigration of Muslims must be stopped and any already in a non-Muslim country be under strict surveillance to be deported at the first hint of any anti host country sentiment. Anyone guilty of shouting Allahu Akbar be deported , an affront to the host country’s life style and warning of what is to happen.

One Munich in 1972 is enough. Paris has to make sure there is no repeat. But the call by extremists now holding office in the French Government to refuse to allow an Israeli team to participate in the Olympics is a bad start to these games.

We’ve already just had the gang rape of an Australian woman in Paris. I’d like to take a bet with anyone who thinks this wasn’t North African Muslims who did it.

Probably North African Muslims, or else Pakistani or Afghan Muslims.
There is a small chance that it wasn’t Muslims at all, but it most likely was, given crime statistics and demographics in France.

They’ve been getting an endless number of jihadists from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, and they think that their biggest threat is a few Tajiks?
ISIS-K – the K standing for “Khorasan”, which was a medieval region comprising NorthEast Iran, NorthWest Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and West Uzbekistan, – mainly gets its membership from Pakistan, Afghanistan and maybe Iran. Not so much the -stans, where the majority population, despite being “muslim”, is still largely atheist. Countries like Pakistan or Afghanistan are dangerous to go to for Westerners. Countries like Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, much less so
Rufolino says
An imam recently stated in a sermon that jihadi terror attacks & violence are pointless and unnecessary.
He said the rules of demography are in place to ensure that Islam will eventually triumph in Europe. “Islam will conquer by the womb”.
Walter Sieruk says
If a jihad massacre at the 2024 Paris games would actually would actually happen it’s those jihad -minded Muslim are putting into practice the instructions found in the Quran, which orders “O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbeliever who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you.” Surah 9:123. Likewise, the Quran also instructs, “When you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Surah 474.
The terrible harsh reality is that bombs and firearms are much more effective in making a “great slaughter among them” Than a sword can.
