ISIL horror video threatens France but Hollande extends State of Emergency
By Robert Hackwill



PARIS: -- This weekend ISIL released a slickly-edited and stuffed with special effects video; 17 minutes long, it also contains doyens of beheadings, executions, and other scenes of unspeakable horror.

The video is in French, and specifically targets France and to a lesser extent Britain, promising more attacks to come.

It was all to honour the nine ISIL members who attacked Paris in November, and contained the first group photo of them, with their noms de guerre. Only the sole survivor, fugitive Salah Abdeslam, is missing.

Their identities were known, four of them were French, and native-born, from the Paris suburbs, Chartres, and Alsace. One was living in Belgium, three others were Belgians, born there, and from the Molenbeek district of Brussels. Two others have not been identified, but are believed to be Iraqis who entered Europe on fake Syrian passports via Greece.

Part of the video was filmed before the attacks, and contains messages from the attackers. In them they justify their actions in the crudest terms, and call for all those who support them in France to rise up with whatever comes to hand.

“You spit in their faces, you bash them in the head with a rock,” exhorts one young man to his fellow would-be jihadis in France.

“I have decided to prolong the state of emergency because I know there’s a threat out there and we will not give an inch. We will not give ground in fighting these people, nor in defending our freedoms, and this video only disqualifies ISIL from any role to play,” said French President François Hollande on Monday.

Hollande is also flagged as a target. At the end a gunsight plays over Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron, too. “Kill them wherever you might see them” exhorts the propaganda video at regular intervals. The threats are being taken very seriously.

How free and open can this country be under constant state of emergency?

Lucky France. They are getting their inclusiveness.

That's the thanks you get for taking in 10M muslims over the years...they hate you even more. Why don't Europeans understand this?

^^^ One of the goals of Isis is to flood Europe with Muslims through terror at 'home' - to aid in Europe's conversion and to make it easier for their soldiers to slip in undetected. The only thanks one could expect from them is how easy we're making it... the desperate families & kids need help, everyone else should be turned back.

Most Europeans do, it's just the politicians who still pretend to themselves that if you're really really nice to islamists, they'll be really really nice back.

How many deaths before they realise it doesn't work that way?

And then come the Antichrist to save Europe. It has been so written...
