French politician: "Islamo-fascists have declared us war" (link in French)
I think this guy says the things more clearly than most politicians of the Anglosphere. Following is my translation of the beginning of the interview. Remainder at link
It would be time politicians stopped saying that everyone is nice and that is just western society who has perverted a certain number of individuals. Bombings weren't the result of this. We are fully immersed in a Stockhom syndrom. But we are not those "bastards" who should "expy" (NDT: for their sins or crimes). This speech I have heard in the mouth of certain heads of government, must not make us forget that we are in a new war, declared by the islamo-fascists (NoT: Yes, he used the word) united under the Al-Quaida label. Their vindication is not religious but politic. They say: "We will set a society who will be at our image", a society, where believe me, woman will not be queen and where it will not be easy to hear mass on Sundays. A country of Westen europe has everything to fear, specially when it has a foreign policy worth to be named.
Background: This guy is a former anti-terrorist judge. Presently he is a right wing representive in French parliament and upon the request of the PM (Villepin) has written a report titled "The EU and the fight against terrorism". The interview has been published in Le Figaro Paris conservative journal
