An interview with Guillaume Faye.

Menzo: Do you really believe this scenario [sketched in your Avant-Guerre
predicting a race war of world-historical proportions in the White West]?

Guillaume Faye: I do -- just as much as I believe that if you drive down the
wrong side of the freeway you will eventually have a head-on collision. The
precise moment such a collision will occur is difficult to predict, but it
is certainly bound to happen. Within ten years or so we are going to be
confronted with something never before seen. But more than race war, we are
going to experience economic breakdowns, ecological crises, and catastrophic
shortages of oil. . . . All the world's governments operate with short-term
agendas and nothing at this point is more disastrous. It is often said that
the Earth is sick. But it is man that is sick.

Menzo: Following the assault on the Twin Towers, we became increasingly
conscious of how vulnerable the global economy is. What possible alternative
is there to it?

Guillaume Faye: Globalization was born not in the last decade, but in the
16th century. This fact, however, is not going to avert the impending
catastrophe [it is fostering]. An alternative to it is what I call
l'autarchie économique des grands espaces [that is, Grossraum or continental
economic autarkies]. In such large areas, Europe, for example, there would
be free circulation of goods, capital, and labor [but barriers raised
against other geo-economic blocs]. If all the great continental spaces, such
as Europe, Asia, Africa, etc., practiced such autarkic policies, it would be
possible to maintain a certain level of well-being across the globe. It
isn't necessary to sacrifice everything to free trade. The fact that
textiles are massively produced in China today has had a terrible effect on
the French textile sector. Clothing, however, hasn't gotten cheaper in
France nor have Chinese textile workers experienced much of an improvement
in their living standards. Only commerce has profited.

Menzo: What importance do you attribute to the global economy?

Guillaume Faye: As much as I attribute to the impossibility of integrating
large numbers of immigrants. General De Gaulle use to say: "In order to make
kir [a mixed drink], you need white wine and cassis syrup. If you add too
much cassis, it's no longer kir." This is another way of saying that it's
only possible to integrate a limited number of foreigners. At present, in
Seine-Saint-Denis and in certain other departments of the Paris Region (and
also in Roubaix and many other large French cities), a majority of the
population is no longer of French origin. It's impossible to integrate such
populations.

Economically, the situation is even worse. Out of every one hundred [Third
World] immigrants who enter Europe, only five enter the workforce. By
contrast, one out of every two French graduates (and the same is true in
Belgium) wants to immigrate. This is eventually going to bring down the
existing welfare state, which, in turn, will only increase the potential for
conflict. The riots we recently experienced [the twenty-one nights of
riotous anarchy that occurred in November 2005] are only the prelude to the
catastrophe which I expect to happen sometime around the year 2010. Canada's
Wright Foundation is also predicting that in the period 2007-2010, there is
going to be an outbreak of ethnic violence in France that will take the form
of civil war. It makes this prediction on the basis of a diverse range of
statistics, such as increased levels of violence, as well as growing
evidence of hidden arms arsenals. Islam's massive concentration in our
cities and suburbs is a problem that will soon make itself felt.

Menzo: The riots in November, however, didn't have a religious character.
The most common explanation for them has been social exclusion and
discrimination.

Guillaume Faye: We're always looking for social-economic explanations. This
is not only the Marxist way of thinking about conflict, it is an incorrect
way. Immigrants today are receiving massive state supports. I would even
argue that illegal immigrants now get better medical care than French
natives. Portuguese and Spanish immigrants who came to France in the 1930s
and '40s received no aid at all, but it was never cause for riot and mayhem.
Professor Loland, recipient of France's Economic Prize and the leading
authority on the subject, estimates that the direct and indirect costs of
immigration today is 36 billion euros [$44 billion] a year. This constitutes
80 percent of the French state's deficit, or 13.5 percent of its annual
social security costs. And this is not Le Pen arguing this, but a reputable
academic. Every immigrant who crosses our border ends up costing us 100,000
euros. It's absurd, then, to claim that immigrants are neglected. Just the
contrary is true. Clichy-sous-Bois, where the November riots broke out,
receives half of all aid allotted to troubled urban areas. It's my belief
that the instigators of the riots were simply waiting for an opportunity to
riot. . .

Menzo: Is there anything to suggest that organized crime had a role in
instigating the riots? Eighty percent of the rioters [arrested] had some
sort of criminal record.

Guillaume Faye: This is not the way I see it. The riots weren't provoked by
Sarkozy [who called them "scum"]. And actually it was only eight percent of
the arrested rioters who had criminal records. . . . In my view, it was more
an [ethnic] revolt than a criminal attack on the police. It's thus necessary
to know why they revolted.

Menzo: Another indication that the riots were the work of criminal gangs was
that the Fatwa [Islamic religious injunction] issued by the Union des
organizations islamiques de France [the largest French Muslim association]
had no effect on the rioters. This suggests that the rioters' inspiration
wasn't religious.

Guillaume Faye: It is often forgotten that Islam is hypocritical on
principle. The Koran says that it is perfectly permissible to lie in certain
circumstances; whenever, for example, one is in a weakened state or whenever
it serves Islam's interests to do so. It is perfectly reasonable, then, to
think that Muslims wanted to appear to non-Muslims as opposed to the riots,
while amongst themselves they supported it. Dominique de Villepin [the Prime
Minister] has said as much. Of course, this isn't the case with all imams
[Muslim leaders or clerics], but it is likely the case with those who see
themselves as part of Islam's campaign of conquest -- its Dar-al-Harb.

Islam sees its mission as unfolding in three stages: the Dar-al-Suhl in
territories which Islam has yet to conquer; the Dar-al-Harb in territories
in the process of being conquered; and the Dar-al-Islam, in which Islam has
succeeded in subjugating the non-believers. Every year there is published in
Egypt an Islamic year book. This year's edition designates France, Belgium,
and the United Kingdom as territories at the Dar-al-Harb stage. This, then,
is the situation in which we are at present. One should not forget that
during the riots two Catholic churches were destroyed. Dalil Boubakeur (the
imam of Paris' Great Mosque) condemned these church burnings, but he didn't
excommunicate those responsible for it. This was also the first time that
public buildings were attacked and burned: police stations, public schools,
etc. This has been made light of [in the public sphere], but it's heavy with
significance. It is also the first time that people were killed -- four to
be exact. .

Menzo: What do you see as the cause for this?

Guillaume Faye: One cause is the mass, unbridled immigration we have
allowed. In Canada, for instance, immigrants are selected according to their
profession, their wealth, and their economic potential. We, on the other
hand, have grouped massive numbers of immigrants from rural [Third World]
economies whose customs and cultures are totally different from our own, who
are entirely unprepared for what they will encounter here, and who lack any
of the proper educational or professional requisites [for integration]. Who
could possibly think that this would work? -- even with the gigantic
investments the state has made in housing, education, and special programs
for them.

Japan is about as wealthy as we are, but it has hardly any immigrants; and
those it has cannot count on the slightest state support. In France, by
contrast, the number of young people of foreign origin will virtually double
in the next ten years. Integration is not working. The politicians refuse to
acknowledge the catastrophic implications of their policies. Most are
concerned only with their careers. Some are too old to even care. Why should
Chirac [the president] worry about what will happen in ten years -- he'll
probably be dead by then. Besides, politicians look at the population as an
electorate [made up of voters who can be periodically replaced]. But people
are not replaceable. They belong to well-defined cultures and are attached
to the mentalities in which they were formed. A Brazilian is simply not
exchangeable with a Russian. But only the politicians seem not to realize
this. (ed. and the academic pool they come from)

Another cause for the riots is the increased number of sub-Saharan Africans.
These groups will cause even greater problems in the future

Menzo: Why?

Guillaume Faye: Because unlike Maghrebian immigrants [Arabs from Algeria,
Morocco, and Tunisia], they are completely desocialized. The Maghrebian
population possesses a definite family structure, with a father and a
mother. In sub-Saharan countries [whose population is Negro], such
structures are non-existent. Mothers can have children with different
fathers and children are raised [not by the family, but] by the village.
When such familial structures are exported to a city like Paris, it
inevitably produces problems. Paris is not a village and the rearing of
children is not its responsibility. The [offspring of these Africans]
frequently turn to crime and end up in the justice system. They don't know
who their father is and no one takes responsibility for them. Their presence
here is like a time bomb.

Menzo: You've pointed out that from 1989 to 1999, the rate of juvenile crime
[in France] increased 176 percent and that the number of those convicted
have tripled. You don't attribute this growth to unemployment. What is its
cause?

Guillaume Faye: There are two reasons why crime is increasing. The first is
social heterogeneity. Every diverse population has problems with
criminality. The two countries with the lowest levels of crime are those
with the most homogeneous population: Japan and Costa Rica. Aristotle was
the first to note that a society cannot be democratic and harmonious if its
population is not homogeneous. Without such homogeneity, it becomes
tyrannical.

The second cause of criminality stems from the permissiveness of those
responsible for maintaining order: the police and the courts. In Tunisia,
there's massive unemployment, but crime is relatively minor because the
police and the courts react to it with severity. In Saudi Arabia, you can
leave your keys or your wallet in the car and no one would think of stealing
them -- because otherwise they might have their hands cut off. With us, on
the contrary, foreigners experience a situation where, since 1968, all forms
of repression have been rejected.

(ed. Except thought-crimes whereby being a "racist" is worse than being
murderer...]

Menzo: You have also written that crime will finance the impending race
wars? Do you really think there is a plan for this?

Guillaume Faye: It's not only been planned, it's already happening. Police
reports show that criminal gangs are now helping finance the insurgency in
Iraq. Of course, not all criminals are participating in this, but it exists.
And they [the authorities] think it is possible to buy social peace! It is
estimated that three tons of cannabis are distributed every month in the
Paris suburbs. Another source of funding is stolen cars and a third the
trafficking of electronic goods. Prostitution is also a source of revenue,
as well as arms dealing. Whenever the authorities discover a [criminal]
arsenal, it includes not only military arms, but also hunting rifles, which
are ideal for urban warfare.

Menzo: In your book [ Avant-Guerre ], you put Islam on the same level as
other ideologies that seek to rule the world: Communism, American
liberalism, globalism. But isn't history a long succession of systems and
ideologies that seek world domination?

Guillaume Faye: Not at all. Look at Judaism, which is an ethnic religion and
has no intention of converting the rest of the world to its belief system.
Neither Buddhism or Shintoism seeks world conquest. But Islam does, as did
Catholicism, Communism, and neo-liberalism. Islam, though, is the most
aggressive of all these. For it is not simply a religion, but a political
doctrine. And this doctrine is imperialist. Twice before in history it has
sought to conquer Europe. The first time it was stopped by Charles Martel at
Portiers [in 732]; the second time, in the 17th century, it was beaten back
at the walls of Vienna. Islam's present conquering ambition was revived in
Egypt in the 1920s. I'm convinced that certain Islamic leaders believe the
moment is now right for a third offensive against the West. As the former
Algerian president Houari Boumediène once boasted, the Islamic world today
carries in the wombs of its women the weapons that will conquer Europe.

Menzo: The first generation of immigrants displayed absolutely no hostility
to us. The third generation seems more segregated than ever. Is this the
result of the Palestinian conflict, which has generalized anti-Western
behaviors? Is this the source of the current problem and is there a solution
to it?

Guillaume Faye: It is certainly one of the sources, but it's hardly the only
one. Even before the Palestinian conflict, anti-Western hatred was ripe. It
stemmed in part from the hatred colonization fostered. But opposition to the
West also arose from jealousy [of Western achievement]. . . The Palestian
conflict has certainly acted as catalyst for hatred, but even if it were
resolved tomorrow, there would still be a problem. Europe is also despised
because it has become weak and emasculated. Its permissiveness invites
indulgence, which makes us an easy target. Muslims find themselves in a
society that is morally degenerate. One philosopher recently referred to the
Hindu notion of the Kaliyuga -- the Age of Iron. According to this ancient
prophecy, there will come a time when men will marry men and women women,
the kings will become thieves and the thieves kings, and mothers will kill
their babies in their wombs. Eh bien, we are not far from this.

Menzo: In your book, you put the Belgian situation on a par with the French
one. Belgium, however, lacks France's massive, alienating housing projects.
Our immigrants usually reside in 19th-century urban quarters, which have
maintained [their human character] and are largely free of the "no-go zones"
that [make the French situation so dangerous]. In your view, how is Belgium
threatened?

Guillaume Faye: You're right. The French banlieues [with their modernist
housing estates] are unique. They were constructed to house French refugees
from Algeria. In the course of a single week [in 1962], a million Frenchmen
were evacuated from [newly-independent] Algeria. It should be emphasized,
though, that these projects built to accommodate this influx were not at all
disagreeable, for there was then a good deal of money available to finance
their construction. At the same time, new residential towns (such as Paris
Deux, near Versailles) were built to house not foreigners but the
well-heeled middle class. This is quite different from the situation in
Brussels, today the symbolic capital of Europe and the seat of NATO. But
what counts [is not the housing situation per se] but the fact that a
massive part of the population is non-European. . .

Menzo: Do you think, then, that riots will eventually break out in Brussels?

Guillaume Faye: As I see it, it is only a matter of time. . . Though
Brussels is perhaps better situated than Paris, it is not likely to be
spared.

Menzo: In the United States and Britain, there are periodic outbreaks of
rioting, but these are usually between rival ethnic gangs. In France, the
riots were directed against the state itself. Police and firemen were shot
at and attacked. How did it come to this?

Guillaume Faye: In the United States, there are, for example, increased
conflicts between Blacks and Mexicans. In France, on the other hand,
non-French gangs turn [not on one another, but] on France itself. Rap music
has had a role to play in this. Rap's subversive effect should not be
dismissed. But more, these immigrant gangs find themselves in France because
France has helped them; [the resentment this causes] is something distinct
to the Maghrebinian/Islamic mentality. It's a very peculiar sentiment, but
is nevertheless something that has to be accounted for. You hate those who
help you, because you feel humiliated when helped. The more they are
coddled, the more, then, they are likely to react aggressively. Besides,
empathy isn't fostered by weakness. In promising immigrants more aid and
money after the riots, the Villepin government acted unwisely. . .

Menzo: Besides more riots and urban warfare, you predict an escalation in
the nature of terrorist attacks: micro-, macro-, and giga-terrorism,
including the possible use of nuclear weapons against the United States. Do
you really think this is possible?

Guillaume Faye: Naturally. The scenario I've depicted is not far from being
realized. In time, all these things will be possible. We can expect
something a hundred times worse that 9-11. It's only a matter of time.

Menzo: You've criticized the intelligence services for a lack of imagination
and vigor. You've said that they are not reflective enough and have not
fully understood the different modes of fundamentalist belief. However,
nearly every month the intelligence services manage to foil various planned
terrorist assaults. Is the peril really as great as you claim?

Guillaume Faye: You need to distinguish between the maintenance of order and
the collection of intelligence. Western intelligence agencies have done much
good work. They have managed to break up numerous clandestine cells and
terrorist groups. But more is needed. It is necessary to have a large,
well-informed group devoted to this. You also need to have in place the
means and personnel to quickly sound the alarm. This is how the terrorist
assault on the Strasbourg Cathedral was foiled. You also need to capitalize
on terrorist mistakes. Prior to 9-11, a female employee in a private pilot
school noted that certain students were devoting all their time to learning
how to fly and not to take off and land. Only months after the fact did
anyone pick up on this. . . Believe me: The unthinkable is going to become
thinkable. What Baghdad experiences every day, we will soon know.
