Admiral Warns: Potential for Islamist Raids on European Islands
The security situation in the Mediterranean will continue to deteriorate to the point where we can expect Islamist raids on European islands, a recently retired Royal Navy Admiral has told Breitbart London.
Rear Admiral Chris Parry CBE, the straight-talking former Director General of the Ministry of Defence Development, Concepts, and Doctrine Centre, the government body tasked with foreseeing future strategic threats, made the comments in an interview this week as European nations gathered to discuss the sudden migrant crisis gripping the Mediterranean.
The Threat of Islam
Parry, who warned in a government paper in 1990 that Islam would replace Communism as the main threat against the West and accurately predicted the collapse of African and Arab nations during the so-called ‘Arab Spring’, told Breitbart London he regretted the government was only taking action now, and had not heeded his warning earlier. The Falklands veteran said his warnings were ignored in 2006 when he wrote a major paper on future threats, as the Labour government of the day deemed speaking about Immigration as racist.
Parry remarked:

As we all know nature abhors a vacuum. I hated the S.O.B. but I admit Gaddafi, like Saddam in Iraq and Mubarak in Egypt, was able to sit on the trouble makers and was relatively stable. Removing them without replacing them and leaving those peoples to their own devices left a vacuum in all 3 countries which the Islamists were very eager to fill. We are very fortunate that the Muslim Brotherhood overplayed their hand in Egypt and were in turn pulled down. That won't happen in Libya and the jury is still out on Iraq.
I agree with Admiral Parry, we may see a 2nd coming of something like the Barbary Pirates.
