In early September 1999, on a combined business\/pleasure trip to Europe, I had my one and only opportunity to cross the English Channel on a hovercraft from Dover to Calais. However, since the hovercraft Princess Margaret<\/em> and Princess Anne<\/em> were temporarily out of service, it became necessary to cross the channel aboard the Seacat Great Britain <\/em>from Folkstone, south of Dover, to Boulogne on the French seacoast, some 30 miles south of Calais.<\/p>\n

Arriving in Calais on a Sunday afternoon, we found the Avis rental car agency at the Calais train station was closed for the day. However, the manager of Avis\u2019s Calais office was kind enough to interrupt his day off long enough for us to obtain our reserved rental car.\u00a0 It also gave us a few hours to tour the town centre of that beautifully restored city that was all but leveled during World War II.\u00a0 But life in Calais has changed dramatically in the past fifteen years and it is unlikely, given local conditions, that Avis or Hertz still maintains rental agencies in Calais.<\/p>\n

On January 4, 2016 I published a column questioning whether we are now witnessing the end of European civilization. In that column, I questioned how people in the U.S. and Europe would respond to the bloodshed that is certain to occur when millions of well-armed muhajirs<\/em> flood into Europe.\u00a0 When asked by German journalist Jurgen Todenhofer if ISIS was prepared to kill every Shiite Muslim on Earth, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi scoffed, \u201cOne-hundred fifty million or 500 million, we don\u2019t care; it\u2019s only a technical problem for us. We are ready to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

So if ISIS considers the difference between killing 150 million or 500 million Shia to be a mere \u201ctechnicality,\u201d how will the people of Europe handle a full-scale onslaught by such people? Will they be prepared to do whatever is necessary to save European civilization, or are they simply too war weary from having two world wars fought on their soil to even defend themselves?\u00a0 The answer to that question becomes clearer with each passing day, and nowhere do we see a greater example of European spinelessness than in present-day Calais.\u00a0 To illustrate, I will quote a recent speech by a French housewife named Simone, a lifelong resident of Calais.\u00a0 She said:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy name is Simone, and I live in Calais. I am a native Calaisienne.\u00a0 My parents were also\u2026 I have always lived there and Calais used to be a very nice town\u2026 We had peace, we had security, and there were always a lot of people about in summer and in winter\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Then she went on to describe how former Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy had decided to close the nearby Sangatte refugee camp, causing the inhabitants to descend upon Calais. She said, \u201cEven I, at the beginning, I said they are unhappy people.\u00a0 They are lost. They have nothing.\u00a0 Maybe we could help them.\u00a0 And I cannot tell you how it happened from one day to the next, but we soon found ourselves with thousands.\u00a0 I say thousands of migrants\u2026 actually, at the moment, there are 18,000 in what they call the \u2018Jungle.\u2019\u00a0 Yes, 18,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s terrible because they really made a city within the city. They have discotheques, shops, schools, hairdressers. They even have\u2026 er\u2026 no, I cannot say it but I think you understand\u2026 for the needs of the gentlemen, of course. They made roads; they gave names to these streets.\u00a0 They elected a mayor.\u00a0 Yet, the police cannot enter what they call the \u2018Muslim part.\u2019\u00a0 It is prohibited.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil then, we could perhaps have been able to bear it, but one cannot bear the unbearable. When one sees that, incessantly, every day, every night, there are riots.\u00a0 They come to the town centre\u2026 two, three, four thousand, everywhere.\u00a0 They bash cars with iron rods, they attack people.\u00a0 They even attack children.\u00a0 There are rapes, there is theft, it is unimaginable what we suffer.\u00a0 They enter private houses when people are at home.\u00a0 They just enter; they want to eat; they help themselves.\u00a0 Sometimes they also bash the people, stealing what they can, and afterwards, what they cannot take they destroy.\u00a0 And when we want to defend ourselves we have the police on our backs.\u00a0 The police have not accepted any complaints for a long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy own son has been attacked. He was walking quietly in the city centre.\u00a0 He was listening to his music.\u00a0 He had the earphones in his ears when someone tapped him on the shoulder.\u00a0 He turned around, thinking it was one of his friends.\u00a0 Instead, he was facing three clandestins<\/em> (illegals) and he took a big blow to the face with an iron bar.\u00a0 My son is quite strong, so he managed to defend himself and the three took some blows.\u00a0 But then he heard some noise.\u00a0 There were about thirty migrants who came to massacre him.\u00a0 As he is no kamikaze<\/em>, he fled.\u00a0 When I saw my son come home like that, frankly, I told myself they could have killed him\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThey attack children when they return from school, or when they go to school or to the college. They go so far as to take the school buses, enter the school bus with the children.\u00a0 On January 23rd<\/sup> they started a big riot in Calais.\u00a0 It was terrible\u2026 They went as far as attacking the statue of General De Gaulle.\u00a0 They wrote on it, \u2018F_ _ _ France,\u2019 with the ISIS flag underneath\u2026 They demonstrate because of their conditions, but the more one gives them the more they demand\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved very much to go to what I call the \u2018grave\u2019 of my son\u2026 it\u2019s at the sea. I lost my son and we put his ashes into the sea.\u00a0 It was his wish; I respected his wish.\u00a0 I said to my husband in the evening, \u2018Take me to the grave of my son.\u00a0 I need it.\u00a0 I cannot do it any longer because even just to cross the town centre of Calais you put yourself in danger.\u00a0 In the evening, as soon as it gets\u00a0 dark, one is in danger.\u00a0 I cannot go there any longer, where I loved to go.\u00a0 I cannot any more (sobbing), it\u2019s not possible.\u00a0 I am afraid.\u00a0 I\u2019m afraid and there are many like us in Calais\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has abandoned us. They have decided to make of Calais a (wasteland), and if we don\u2019t move we will be burdened with all the migrants of France here and we are finished.\u00a0 We are dead.\u00a0 And the Calaisians are like sheep.\u00a0 I don\u2019t understand them.\u00a0 Yesterday I was in that (anti-Islam) demonstration; I was in the middle of it with my husband, my son, and friends.\u00a0 And there was General (Christian) Piquemal\u2026\u00a0 And what I saw yesterday I won\u2019t hide it from you.\u00a0 I could not sleep all night because I have reviewed the scene incessantly.\u00a0 They did not talk about it on the TV, the radio, not even in the newspapers.\u00a0 We saw him arrested, manhandled like a thief.\u00a0 He who, after all, is a French icon, an image of France who deserves respect and all the honours due to his rank.\u00a0 Like a thug, we saw him pushed to the ground.\u00a0 The policeman put his foot on his neck.\u00a0 I promise you. We saw it.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven the merchants have lost 40-60 percent of their income, whereas before, Calais was a flourishing city; it was lively, animated, gay. There were always foreigners during the summer holidays and at the end-of-year celebrations.\u00a0 Today, there is nothing left.\u00a0 All the shops that had opened in the centre of town have closed down, one after the other.\u00a0 Calais is a dead town\u2026 And when they come into town armed with their iron bars and their Molotov cocktails, watch out.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd let\u2019s speak about Madame Bouchart, the Mayor of Calais (hisses and boos). I will tell you what I call her.\u00a0 I call her \u2018the slug.\u2019\u00a0 Yes, because the longer it is since she was elected mayor of Calais, the fatter she gets.\u00a0 And frankly, she does nothing for the residents of Calais.\u00a0 She got millions of Euros in assistance for the residents of Calais.\u00a0 It was for helping the Calaisians, to help them in finding employment.\u00a0 The first thing she organized was the construction of containers to house the migrants.\u00a0 She had them made in Brittany, not even in Calais.\u00a0 The only jobs she created in Calais\u2026 I know it because I have a friend who was offered one\u2026 were fifty jobs to clean up the crap left by the migrants\u2026 Voila!\u00a0 The jobs proposed by Mme. Bouchart.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now there is something more: the \u2018No Borders\u2019 (organization). It is the worst rabble you can have because they are the ones who push the illegals we have in Calais to create havoc.\u00a0 Let\u2019s call it \u2018screw things up,\u2019 but it\u2019s much worse than that.\u00a0 They are at the four corners of town with their walkie-talkies giving orders.\u00a0 I have seen the riot police retreat before the migrants.\u00a0 This made me cry because I told myself that\u2019s not normal.\u00a0 It\u2019s not normal.\u00a0 We are in our<\/em> homes, we are in our<\/em> country, we are in our<\/em> town.\u00a0 The riot police should rather order the migrants to step back, and not the reverse.\u00a0 So they demonstrate because they want \u20ac2,000 pocket money per month\u2026\u00a0 They want a car, and also a house, of course.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s speak about houses. When we see that Mme. Bouchart has evicted people from their homes in Calais, which were close to the zone of \u2018Les Dunes,\u2019 because it was not viable for them.\u00a0 Because the migrants were too close, they suffered attacks, theft, and more.\u00a0 She has evicted them even though they paid their rent.\u00a0 Even I, they are evicting me from my house next month.\u00a0 They are taking my house from me, and yet we have always been honest.\u00a0 But it\u2019s too long a story.\u00a0 There was a judgment and they will sell my house next month, when there is nothing we can be reproached with.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband is sick; he has cancer\u2026 but never mind. The French have to be crushed, they have to be evicted.\u00a0 One has to take everything from them to leave the space for the rabble who want to colonize us.\u00a0 And they tell us these are \u2018cultural enrichments\u2019 for us.\u00a0 I ask myself where their cultural riches are.\u00a0 Because if it is to sack, to destroy, to steal, to rape, and so on, the French were fully capable of doing it themselves.\u00a0 One only has to ask\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

With an all-out, no-holds-barred effort by the civilized world, the forces of ISIS can be utterly destroyed.\u00a0 But even if we are able to achieve that result, we must also understand that this will not be the end of the matter.\u00a0 Even if Islam is temporarily chastened by the loss of millions, they will lick their wounds for a time and then they\u2019ll be back with even greater bloodlust than before.<\/p>\n

The 18,000 Muslims who now clog the French end of the Chunnel at Calais want nothing more than to find their way into England where Islam has a major foothold\u2026 a foothold that is nothing more than a jumping off point for the U.S.\u00a0 What is now happening in Calais will soon happen in U.S. cities such as Dearborn and Hamtramck.\u00a0 Are we prepared for that, or does political correctness demand that we continue to hope for Muslim \u201cmoderation?\u201d\u00a0 You be the judge.<\/p>\n
