A spate of terror attacks and airliner disasters across Europe and its periphery is starting to catch up with the region

Just another line item to add to the "Import Islamofascism" bill.

Everything I hear about France and Paris is negative. Saw today that 1/5 of French gas stations have no gas because of oil-workers strike.

They are turning themselves into a failed Muslim, 3rd-world country.

I will not take my family on vacation to any European country that is infested with fanatical muslim scum. My travel dollars are more safely spent in Eastern Europe. I will not take my family or anyone I cared about to London, Paris, Brussels, Rome, Oslo, etc., which pretty much means every major Western European capital.

European men have one choice - revolution French-style where all of the socialists lose their heads.

Americans may face the same choice soon.

The EU needs to look to Egypt to see what radical muzzies in your midst do for the tourist economy.

When we visited Paris last summer we spent a lot of time in the city’s largest Jewish neighborhood. It was very distressing to see it patrolled by heavily armed squads of French soldiers. All I could think was that the residents should just leave France.

It weakens air travel everywhere.

Going to Switzerland but that will be it.Japan was great place for vacation

At least Americans are armed against any terrorists.

There is precious little being published but I've read on blogs that it's heating up in Paris with gangs of unidentified 'youths' attacking innocents ...Over a week ago they attacked the police and set the police car on fire:

• LeFigaro: Voiture de police incendiée : le parquet fait appel des trois remises en liberté [police car on fire: the prosecution appealed the three released]

• Liveleak: France: Police clash with protesters at banned pro-refugee rally in Paris Clashes broke out in Paris,after pro-refugee protesters defied a ban on demonstrations in the French capital, marching from the Bastille to the Place de la Republique. Riot police used their batons and pepper spray to push the protesters back.

  This is in addition to the refinery/fuel strike as well as the upcoming Euro 2016 meeting to discuss the two state solution.

Its sad and quite appalling. This is their home and probably has been for many centuries. They contribute greatly to society, do not push their faith, are peaceful, hurt no one, and certainly do not attack any group. Not even the most "extreme" elements of their group would consider such. And yet they are threatened with violence and extinction. WTF is wrong with France?

>>> WTF is wrong with France? <<<

I’ll take “The French” for $1000, Alex.
