2007 , the first volunteers tried to leave for Iraq to carry out jihad , but the jihadist networks of Artigat ( Fabien Clain ), the Buttes Chaumont ( Chérif Kouachi ), and Molenbeek were dismantled and their followers arrested in Europe or Syria , such as Sabri Essid or Thomas Barnouin , and served their first prison sentences ( four to six years ).
The prison allows young jihadists to proselytize detainees , to launch calls for jihad , and to ask to attack the guards of the prisons . This is the case of Sabri Essid , who from 2007 to 2010 has this type of attitude in all the prisons of Fresnes , Fleury-Mérogis , and Osny where he passes , while Fabien Clain , on the contrary , is discreet and takes advantage of this to convert prisoners . He wants to create a non-profit organization named Sanabil , which is intended to support Muslim prisoners and their families . He had it declared in 2010 by a Parisian friend , “ Souleymane ” ( Antho Dolamba-Digbo ), a close friend of Leonard Lopez , one of the creators of the French jihadist website Ansar al-Haq . Sanabil supports prisoners convicted of terrorism . The association is monitored by the French intelligence services , which accumulate information and note that the organization networks jihadist detainees from different places of detention in France ( 290 ) and Europe ( 450 ). Among the active members of Sanabil are Amedy Coulibaly , the terrorist of the Hyper Cacher , and Larossi Abballa , the killer of the police couple in Magnanville , who finance , participate in meetings , and write letters to detainees .
The contradiction between apolitical pacifist Salafism and violent political jihadism is only apparent ; in fact , there are common points between the two fundamentalist Muslim currents . The followers of both sects want to return to a golden age in the life of Mohammed and his companions ( the Salafis ) when the doctrine was pure and had to be disseminated to the whole world . Hugo Micheron does not hesitate , in light of the religious itineraries of the people he studied , to amalgamate the two fundamentalist Islamist tendencies , pacifist and violent , under the term Salafo-Jihadists . The latter want to revive this mythical past in order to bring about the apocalypse of the end time , which , according to hadiths , is to take place in the land of Sham ( in Dabiq ) in Syria . The antichrist and the messiah ( Mohammed ) will confront each other . Those who gather with him in hijra ( exile ) and jihad ( holy war ) will be saved ; the others will be damned . This millenarian vision is the guiding idea of the Islamic state , which appears repeatedly in its slogans , its videos , and is in line with the Manichean vision of the Salafists .
The Strength of the Wolf is in the Pack ( Rudyard Kipling )
When Mohammed Merah , a young delinquent who grew up in the Izards neighborhood of Toulouse and attempted to carry out jihad in Afghanistan in 2011 , returns to Toulouse to carry out attacks , between March 11 and 19 , 2012 , against four soldiers and children from a Jewish school , the thesis of the “ lone wolf ” is immediately brandished by Bernard Squarcini , director of the DCRI ( future DGSI ),
