French Police: Muslims Are Waging Civil War Against Us
When the Paris riots took place last year, mainstream media rushed to assure 
us that the violence had no connection to radical Islam, and deliberately 
whitewashed reports to remove all hints of a link. In the US, the leftist 
blogosphere mocked anti-jihad blogs that tried to shine a light on the 
situation.
But today a French police union came out and admitted what they simply can't 
ignore any longer: Muslims are waging civil war against us. (Hat tip: LGF 
readers.)
  Radical Muslims in France's housing estates are waging an undeclared 
"intifada" against the police, with violent clashes injuring an average of 
14 officers each day.
  As the interior ministry said that nearly 2,500 officers had been wounded 
this year, a police union declared that its members were "in a state of 
civil war" with Muslims in the most depressed "banlieue" estates which are 
heavily populated by unemployed youths of north African origin.
  It said the situation was so grave that it had asked the government to 
provide police with armoured cars to protect officers in the estates, which 
are becoming no-go zones.
  The number of attacks has risen by a third in two years. Police 
representatives told the newspaper Le Figaro that the "taboo" of attacking 
officers on patrol has been broken. Instead, officers - especially those 
patrolling in pairs or small groups - faced attacks as soon as they tried to 
arrest locals.
  Senior officers insisted that the problem was essentially criminal in 
nature, with crime bosses on the estates fighting back against tough 
tactics. The interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, who is also the leading 
centre-Right candidate for the presidency, has sent heavily equipped units 
into areas with orders to regain control from drug smuggling gangs and other 
organised crime rings. Such aggressive raids were "disrupting the 
underground economy in the estates", one senior official told Le Figaro.
  However, not all officers on the ground accept that essentially secular 
interpretation. Michel Thoomis, the secretary general of the hardline Action 
Police trade union, has written to Mr Sarkozy warning of an "intifada" on 
the estates and demanding that officers be given armoured cars in the most 
dangerous areas.
  He said yesterday: "We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by 
radical Islamists. This is not a question of urban violence any more, it is 
an intifada, with stones and Molotov cocktails. You no longer see two or 
three youths confronting police, you see whole tower blocks emptying into 
the streets to set their 'comrades' free when they are arrested.""
