NATO is harbouring the Islamic State<\/a><\/h3>\n

Why France\u2019s brave new war on ISIS is a sick joke, and an insult to the victims of the Paris attacks<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\u201cWe stand alongside Turkey in its efforts in protecting its national security and fighting against terrorism. France and Turkey are on the same side within the framework of the international coalition against the terrorist group ISIS.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Statement by French Foreign Ministry, July 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 13th November Paris massacre will be remembered, like 9\/11, as a defining moment in world history.<\/p>\n

The murder of 129 people, the injury of 352 more, by \u2018Islamic State\u2019 (ISIS) acolytes striking multiple targets simultaneously in the heart of Europe, mark a major sea-change in the terror threat.<\/p>\n

For the first time, a Mumbai-style attack has occurred on Western soil\u200a\u2014\u200athe worst attack on Europe in decades. As such, it has triggered a seemingly commensurate response from France: the declaration of a nationwide state of emergency, the likes of which have not been seen since the 1961 Algerian war.<\/p>\n

ISIS has followed up with\u00a0threats<\/a>\u00a0to attack Washington and New York City.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, President Hollande\u00a0wants<\/a>\u00a0European Union leaders to suspend the Schengen Agreement on open borders to allow dramatic restrictions on freedom of movement across Europe. He also demands the EU-wide adoption of the Passenger Name Records (PNR) system allowing intelligence services to meticulously track the travel patterns of Europeans, along with an extension of the state of emergency to at least three months.<\/p>\n

Under the\u00a0extension<\/a>, French police can now block any website, put people under house arrest without trial, search homes without a warrant, and prevent suspects from meeting others deemed a threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that more attacks are being prepared, not just against France but also against other European countries,\u201d said the French Prime Minister Manuel Valls. \u201cWe are going to live with this terrorist threat for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
