The latest France attacks are but one act in a series of serious threats posed by "homegrown" radicalism as its characterized by French politicians, media and elite. Yet, those criminal acts were portrayed by a so-called lone wolf. This menace has forced European domestic intelligence to deal with a case that demands vigilant law enforcement on one hand, and a general review of French politicians, media, elite, and in particular Muslim leaders in France on the other.
