In his new book “Cosmos Incorporated”, French polemicist and thinker Maurice Dantec warns of coming chaos and conflict in Europe.
A prolific author of thrillers and science-fiction novels, Dantec is mainly known for his provocative pro-Israeli and pro-American stance and his strong condemnation of Islamism.
His staunch position sets him apart in France’s literary world where he is perceived as going against the grain.
Speaking in an interview to the monthly “Tribune Juive”, Dantec said he left France in 1998 Canada to “protect his family from a Europe that has gone to the dogs”, adding that he was a proponent of the counter-revolution that had “already started in America”.
Spread of Islamism
Indeed, Dantec saw his departure from France as a warning signal. “I lived in the suburbs and was confronted with urban violence. Things are going the wrong way in France,” he declares.
“The clash of civilisations already took place on 11 September 2001. The Muslim world has for a long time now been in conflict with Christian society.”
Dantec is sure that Al Qaeda is planning a series of nuclear attacks in the United States under the code name “American Hiroshima”. According to Dantec the group would have infiltrated in Mexico, with a gang called M513.
“The Islamist groups are also in France and in England. I’m very pessimist on what’s going to happen.”
In his latest book Dantec looks ahead to a 21st century that is just emerging from a global civil war. The world has been devastated by a great Jihad, the total Balkanisation of Europe and a second Civil War in the United States.
The author believes the source of all this evil lies in the war in Yugoslavia. “The breakdown of Yugoslav communism brought Islamism to Europe,” he says.
“Today democracies no longer have to fight against a dictator who needs to be overthrown.
A Christian Zionist
Dantec is pro-Zionist and pro-American, something which he says is “forbidden in France where we cannot support the US or love Israel, because we are French and Catholic”.
The polemicist essentially blames the cultural and humanitarian Leftist movement, and the anti-globalists for the decline of France and accuses them of a “gentle suicide” of the mind.
“Today the power is at the two extremes, the far right and the far left.”
Asked about the creation of state of Israel, Dantec says there are no coincidences. “[The return of the Jewish People] was written [in the Bible]. Six millions victims, six millions Israelis,” he sums up. “The Land of Israel was given forever to the people of Abraham.”
At the age of 12 Dantec visited a number of concentration camps in Czechoslovakia. “It was a shock for me. My parents’ were Communists, and they often told me about the Holocaust. They have rooted in me a strong anti-Nazism and a love for Jewish people. I am a Christian and the two religions are interdependent. All Christians feel that their fate is linked to that of Jerusalem.”
“Cosmos Incorporated” by Maurice Dantec is published at the Editions Albin Michel.
