The rapid sequence of death that has struck France in the last two years leaves a stone. Why so much anger and why concentrated in the same country?
The first part of the question is linked to the many reasons that have pushed isolated radicalisms, which have always existed in the Islamic galaxy, to assume an important role in the conduct of anti-Western religious and cultural proselytism. Without going into the subject, perhaps it would be necessary to reflect on the detonating effect that the hypocritical sloth of the West has on the potential massacre of terrorism.
Let's face it: there is a self-destructive germ in our society and it is not infrequently associated with ideologies dusty from history but ready to re-emerge making the "foreigner" the new instrument of struggle. To put it easy, we bring with us a "after all we deserved it" produced by decades of guilt that we do not even know the origin of anymore. If this is not the cause of terrorism it is certainly one of the reasons why it is not defeated.
Returning to the second part of the question: why so much hatred and everything in France? The reasons are essentially three. France is the country that more than any other witnesses the failure of a multicultural society. The end of the empire with the withdrawal from Indochina and Algeria in the 60 years has left only an uncomfortable legacy: millions of citizens who are only domiciled in French and who in the name of the politically correct pretend not to consider alienated. We could discuss years on the causes of non-integration. However, a fact remains objective: all countries with a multiethnic social background are torn apart by violence. In terms of numbers and size, France pays the saltiest account.
Another factor closely linked to "Why la France "is the geocultural location of the country. Paris pays at once the heart of a continent that has decided to debase the sense of "citizenship", that is, belonging to a civitas where, in addition to rights, there are rules and duties. That it is precisely the homeland of the citoyens to pay the fio, is a mockery of history; it is unquestionable, however, that talking about security in a geographical area where anyone can enter and leave without control leaves the time it finds. France is the synthesis of the suicide of European society where the safeguarding of one's future is a step backwards from the phantasmagorical respect of the other.
The third factor is probably the political weight of Paris. France is a country declassed compared to a century ago, but still very present in theaters in which it once was a mistress. Especially in the areas affected by the anti-Western Islamist resurgence, "French" is still the symbol of colonialism that demagogic proselytism in the peripheries of the world wants to be responsible for everything that is past, present, and future. In other words, France is struck because it is still a symbol and because even in its geopolitical sozzerie still plays a clear and distinct role: whether in the Middle East, in the Sahel and in Equatorial Africa, Paris protects its interests in no uncertain terms . This obviously involves the multiplication of enemies.
With a sentence we could therefore say: "France is affected, because France is at war". On the contrary, the same can not be said for other countries, Italy above all. If the Belpaese so far has been saved from terror, it is certainly not due to the zeal of the institutions and the control of the territory. Easier to think that our best defense is the lack of international weight and that the obvious collusion between politics and mafia make good game for everyone: crime, politics and Jihad. Everyone is interested in ensuring that this country remains a siege, including terrorists.
With a tear turned to the promenade of Nice, it will perhaps be our smallness to save our lives.
