"We Are Living Amid An Islamic Threat", French Mayor Says: "Our Country Is At War Inside Our Borders"
Whatever one's opinion of the Muslim attacks and the perpetrators behind them, one thing is without dispute - the French response, which has been to quickly impose unlimited emergency laws, is nothing short of the second coming of "Operation Gladio."
In addition to warrantless searches and raids, France's state of emergency laws allow the government to put people under house arrest, seal the country's borders and ban demonstrations. The laws were created during the Algerian war in 1955.
