In this
report, France 24 edited the video so that
we do not see the attackers execute a fallen
police officer.

On January 7, 2015,
commandos erupted in Paris, in the premises
of Charlie Hebdo and murdered 12 people. 4
more victims are still in serious condition.
On the videos, the
attackers are heard shouting "Allah Akbar!
and "avenge Muhammad”. One witness, a Coco
designer, said they proclaimed affiliation
with al-Qaeda. That’s all it took for many
French to denounce it as an Islamist attack.
However, this assumption
is illogical.
The mission
of this commando had no connection with
jihadist ideology
Indeed, members or
sympathizers of the Muslim Brotherhood,
al-Qaeda or Daesh would not be content to
just kill atheist cartoonists; they would
have first destroyed the archives of the
newspaper on site, following the model of
all their actions in North Africa and the
Levant. For jihadists, the first duty is to
destroy the objects that they believe offend
God, and to punish the "enemies of God."
Similarly, they would not
have immediately retreated, fleeing the
police, without completing their mission.
They would rather have completed their
mission, were they to die on the spot.
In addition, videos and
some evidence shows that the attackers are
professionals. They wielded their weapons
expertly and fired advisedly. They were not
dressed in the fashion of the jihadists, but
as military commandos.
How they dispatched a
wounded policeman who posed no danger to
them, certifies that their mission was not
to "avenge Muhammad" because of the crass
humor of Charlie Hebdo.
The
video censored by French TV
This aims to
create the beginning of a civil war
The fact that the
assailants speak French well and are
probably French does not necessarily
indicate that this attack is a Franco-French
episode. Rather, the fact that they are
professional forces one to distinguish them
from possible sponsors. And there is no
evidence that these are French.
It is a normal reflex, but
intellectually wrong to consider, when one
is a victim of an attack, that one knows his
attackers. This is most logical when it
comes to normal crimes, but it’s wrong when
it comes to international politics.
Sponsors for the attack
knew it would cause a divide between French
Muslims and French non-Muslims. Charlie
Hebdo had specialized in anti-Muslim
provocation and most Muslims in France have
been directly or indirectly their victims.
Though the Muslims of France will surely
condemn this attack, it will be difficult
for them to experience as much pain for the
victims as felt by the readers of the
newspaper. This will be seen by some as
complicity with the murderers.
Therefore, rather than
seeing this as an extremely deadly Islamist
attack of revenge against the newspaper that
published the Mohammed cartoons and
multiplied front page anti-Muslim headlines,
it would be more logical to consider that it
is the first episode of a process to trigger
a civil war.
The strategy
of "the clash of civilizations" was designed
in Tel Aviv and Washington
The ideology and strategy
of the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and
Daesh does not advocate the creation of
civil war in the ’West’, but on the contrary
to create it in the "East" and hermetically
separate the two worlds. Never has Sayyid
Qutb, nor any of his successors, called to
provoke confrontation between Muslims and
non-Muslims in the territories of the
latter.
On the contrary, the
strategy of the "clash of civilizations" was
formulated by Bernard Lewis for the US
National Security Council then popularized
by Samuel Huntington not as a strategy of
conquest, but as a predictable situation. [1]
It aimed to persuade NATO member group
populations of the inevitability of
confrontation that preventively assumed the
form of the "war on terrorism".
It is not in Cairo, Riyadh
or Kabul that one advocates the "clash of
civilizations", but in Washington and Tel
Aviv.
The sponsors of the attack
against Charlie Hebdo did not seek to
satisfy jihadists or the Taliban, but
neo-conservatives or liberal hawks.
Let’s not
forget the historical precedents
We must remember that in
recent years we have seen the US or NATO
special services: Testing
the devastating effects of certain drugs on
the civilian population in France [2];
Supporting
the OAS to try to assassinate President
Charles de Gaulle [3];
Carrying
out false flag attacks against civilians in
several NATO member states . [4]
We must remember that
since the break-up of Yugoslavia, the US
joint chiefs of staff practiced and honed
its “dog fight” strategy in many countries
This consists of killing members of the
majority community, and also members of
minorities, then placing the blame on each
of them back-to-back until everyone is sure
they are in mortal danger. This is the way
Washington caused the civil war in
Yugoslavia as well as recently in Ukraine. [5]
The French would do well
to remember also that it is not they who
took the initiative in the fight against the
jihadists returning from Syria and Iraq. To
date, moreover, none of them has committed
any attack in France, where the case of
Mehdi Nemmouche is not that of a lone
terrorist, but of an agent tasked with
executing two Mossad agents in Brussels [6] [7].
It was Washington who, on February 6, 2014,
convened the interior ministers of Germany,
the US, France (Mr. Valls was represented),
Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom in
order to make the return of European
jihadists a matter of national security. [8]
It was only after this meeting that the
French press addressed this issue, and that
the authorities began to react.
John Kerry spoke in French for the first
time to send a message to the French. He
denounced an attack against freedom of
expression (while his country since 1995 has
continued to bomb and destroy the television
stations that were dissing him in
Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya) and
celebrated the struggle against
obscurantism.
We do not know who
sponsored this professional operation
against Charlie Hebdo, but we should not
allow ourselves to be swept up. We should
consider all assumptions and admit that at
this stage, its most likely purpose is to
divide us; and its sponsors are most likely
in Washington.
