‘No qualms’: Corsica militants warn IS they will strike back for terrorist attacks
RT ^ | 28 July 2016 | RT

Posted on 08/02/2016 12:05:21 AM PDT by Cronos

A militant splinter group on the French island of Corsica has warned Islamic State that they will fight back if the terrorist group carries out an attack there,

..The FLNC said in statement sent to Corse Matin [Corsica Morning], a local newspaper, that any terrorist acts carried out on Corsican soil would prompt “a determined response without any qualms,” while adding that the French government would be largely to blame if such an attack were to take place.

“The aim of the Salafists is clearly to install Isis policies here and we are prepared for it,” the group said.

“Your medieval philosophy does not frighten us,” they added, urging “calm in the face of barbarity” and calling on all “Muslims of Corsica” to reject radical Islam and inform the authorities about anyone who may be radicalized.

“If Islamic States takes actions on our soil, we will manage to defeat them only together” the group said.

The group also said that the French authorities would be guilty of not protecting the island enough, should an attack take place.

“If a tragedy were to happen it [the French government] would bear substantial share of responsibility because it knows who the radicals Islamists are in Corsica,” their statement read. They also urged the French government to cease their involvement in military interventions, so that they “don’t boomerang on its soil.”

IS militants have tried to target Corsica, but the group managed to thwart their plan, the Corsican militants claimed, though neither the French authorities nor police have reported that such an attack had been foiled.

Tensions have been running high in Corsica over the past several months.

In April, a Muslim prayer hall was burnt to the ground and Corsica was engulfed by anti-Arab demonstrations last Christmas in which local police were ambushed and attacked by protesters.

At any rate, do such Frenchmen exist today?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You bet. Buut the problem is thaey have been surplanted by French socialitas, those who originate with the Vichy French government of WWII.The left in France are anti Jew,and they welcome demographic invasion with open arms, and believe in hstoric justice for the sins committed by France during the colonial era.

The people of France need to drop these Vichy asshats who run the country and bring back those who administrators and command people who support the French Foreign Legion..

It is noteworthy that a substantial French Foreign Legion detachment is posted in Corsica, and they would be helping the Cosicans fight the goat humpers, no doubt.

We are fighting a different enemy: It is not enough to simply kill them, we must get in the mud with them.....appeal to their superstitions and defile their corpses.

I’m reminded of the movie McClintock where Drago threatens to cut off Ching’s pigtail .....actually Ching was a good guy, so....

And never forget the French Resistance. Whether such people exist in France today is a good question.

Thanks for the link to the “Knights Templar International” It is a website founded by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Dowson

There is more information about them here http://irbf.org.uk/knights-templar-international-an-analysis/ (IRBF is a left wing organization, but this info is most likely correct)

History shows this is just the next step in this Islamic war their religion demands. Of course groups will form to give it back to them even worse until they are stopped.

When I visited Poland, I was told that Poland is the only country that has a statue honoring Napoleon.

And of course he’s mentioned in the Polish National Anthem, because he did help create the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.

“At any rate, do such Frenchmen exist today?”

I don’t know about the men, but at least one woman is trying to follow in the footsteps of Joan of Arc:

well, Nappy is mentioned in "Dał nam przykład Bonaparte, Jak zwyciężać mamy." -- Bonaparte has given us the example Of how we should prevail.

I think the French rev was a mistake in many ways and it, along with the partitions of Poland aroudn the same time lead to WWI and WWII and the holocaust.

Also, Napoleon was a slimebag to the Poles - promising but never delivering and ready to sell them out at the first chance.

However, he was a great general, no doubt about that and did give an example of how you can marshal your resources well

At times I don’t understand it either. But despite all his many faults, he was a superlative general who seemed to create something out of nothing - like Genghis Khan

When it comes to historical bad asses no one tops Genghis Khan. We of European descent should thank God that one of Genghis’ sons drank himself to death. Without this divine intervention, Europe would have been toast. It would have been a horse-driven Blitzkrieg of death and destruction.

I just read a biographical novel on John Adams. He apparently was a strong component of our tripartite form of government— Executive (President), Legislative (Congress), and Judiciary (Supreme Court). He felt their strengths should be balanced to prevent one from having total power. He had strong criticisms of the government being organized as an outgrowth of the French Revolution and thought it would fail. It did end up in Napoleon’s dictatorship, and many years of poor governance.

Post the french revolution they had too many councils and utter chaos until Napoleon came and restored an autocracy. Post Napoleon there was then the restoration, then the second republic, then Napoleon III, then the third republic, etc. etc. -- utter chaos.

The French have a monarchical presidency - the President is an elected monarch and far more powerful in the country than the US President (due to the checks and balances and the decentralization) or the German Chancellor (as there is the ceremonial president and also the heavy decentralization) and even the British PM (who is quite powerful as the queen is basically a rubber stamp)

I kind of doubt that. Genghis Khan's cavalry was useless in the forested and mountainous areas of western and southern Europe. And also the extreme north (Novgorod) stood out against his horde.

I just wish Hulagu Khan had effectively wiped out Islam (he destroyed Baghdad and the CAliph and could have easily leveled Mecca and Medina)

To be honest I think the Mongols would have run wild throughout all of Europe. Good point about Islam. The Mongols should have finished wiping it out. Unfortunately, some of the Mongols eventually converted to the moon God.
