In reply to the discussion: Is Europe headed for a civil war? [View all]Albertoo
(2,016 posts)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 premise of the OP is not mine, but that of European homeland security specialists

But the article was not by Keppel; it was an article in The Sun quoting him

What Kepel said in Die Welt is that terrorists would like to induce hatred of all Muslims

The point is that Kepel said the only way it could become a civil war is by demonisation of Muslims

I believe that the chance of this leading to a European internal war is extremely low

I expect France to begin a purge of Muslims soon like they did of the Roma in 2009-10
