38. I love that you contest my OP while quoting a passage that confirms it

The third European Jihad generation wants to spread a climate of fear in European countries, which is to generate hostile reactions towards all Muslims, he added. Muslims could be radicalized in this way. "The situation could become a civil war."

Two other points if I may:

-1- the rule about quoting RW sources is obviously intended not to echo RW opinions. It cannot reasonably apply to facts or expert opinions collected by RW media. The weather forecast stays valid even if it's on the webpages of InfoWars.

-2- casting doubt because I did not dot all i's and cross all the t's is a superficial way to deny the meaning. I just didn't take the time to google the name of the British senior official who mentioned views exactly parallel to those of Kepel.

One click gave me two (not the one I had in mind and might find later)

The interview declarations are by Kepel Albertoo Sep 2016 #39
What Kepel said in Die Welt is that terrorists would like to induce hatred of all Muslims muriel_volestrangler Sep 2016 #37
I love that you contest my OP while quoting a passage that confirms it Albertoo Sep 2016 #38
