By The Brussels Journal A quote from Patrick Poole at FrontPageMag, 29 November 2007 The endgame of muqawama and the "Civilization-Jihadist Process" is "the erosion of the enemy's resolve". For this reason, as Yaari notes, "the essence is to spill blood, and since that is the case, it is better to focus on the civilian population as the primary target".
The French intifada is taking place not only in the heart of France, but in the heart of Europe itself. Much like the 9/11 attacks that were directed at the financial and political centers of America, both symbolically and really, the constant campaign of violence by Muslims throughout Europe are intended to extend the global jihad to the deepest centers of the West. But rather than confront the West militarily, the battle against Western civilization that they have already enjoined is going to take place in the banlieues, not the battlefield. Various instruments of violence are being used, ranging from crime, rioting, and as we see in Paris today, urban warfare. Terrorism is currently used only occasionally to initiate peak periods, but we can expect its increased use as the conflict continues.
The difficulty for us on the working end of the "Civilization-Jihadist Process" is that our leaders have steadfastly refused to understand the nature of the threat and the interrelation between what is happening in Paris, France and Khandahar, Afghanistan. While different methodologies are being used, the endgame is still the same: the establishment of the global caliphate through jihad. We must come to terms with strategy and operations of radical Islam in the West, the manner in which they manage conflict, and realize the immanent nature of the threat already in our midst – a lesson the French are learning first-hand.
Until we do, the strategic planning of the forces of the global jihad, as expressed in "The Project" and other Muslim Brotherhood planning documents, will continue to meet with unimpeded success.
