Award-winning Algerian author Boualem Sansal had some chilling predictions for France as the country grapples with terrorism and radical Islamists.
Sansal urged the French government to do away with political correctness and “strike hard” at the creeping threat of Islamification in an interview with Le Figaro.
“Strike hard and fast. That’s what the living and the dead are calling for. In the face of Islam, France has lost all ability to think, rule and act. It submits and is about to submit again,” Sansal said.
In his eyes, France faces a “civil war” and what he calls the “Lebanonization or Algerization of the country,” which could result in “military and Islamist dictatorships.”
The 72-year-old author who won France’s Arab Literature Prize in 2012 has been an outspoken voice on Islam’s threat to Europe for some time.
He predicted on the anniversary of the gruesome 2015 Islamic State terror attack on the Bataclan Club in Paris. Islamist extremists charged into the club on November 13, 2015, and slaughtered 130 people in cold blood while injuring 416.
Others, including some of France’s top generals and military officials, have also warned of a brewing civil war within the country.
On April 21, 2021, a letter signed by 26 generals, 78 colonels, hundreds of officers and 7,600 retired military personnel warned the government of France that the nation was in pearl.
The generals pointed out three significant threats the country faces, including the threat of a racial war propagated by “anti-racism” and wokeness, the threat of radical Islam and the government’s scapegoating of protesters.
“Our honour today lies in denouncing the disintegration that is affecting our country,” the open letter said.
“A disintegration which, through a certain anti-racism, is displayed with a single purpose: to create unease and even hatred between communities on our soil. Today, some talk about racialism, indigenism and decolonial theories, but through these terms, it is a racial war that those hateful and fantastical partisans want.”
Other European nations have struggled to contain the spread of Islam, including Poland, which is currently dealing with masses of migrants who are primarily young men amassing on their border with Belarus.
