"But the pair of French Muslims died insurgents in Iraq -- one a suicide car bomber."
Plain idiots with no brains - kill the sorry bast*rds.
Well at least the French got SOMETHING right for once.
Hakim and Badjoudj lived in the same northern Paris neighborhood. Both were unemployed and came from broken families.
''If he had work, this wouldn't have happened," said Badjoudj's uncle, Hicham. ''He saw no future for himself."
Ah, yes it's 'bigotry and unemployment' that caused them to become Islamic-fascists.
The two teenage friends hardly seemed like Islamic radicals. They smoked marijuana, drank beer, listened to rap music, and wore jeans.
''Abdelhalim drank beer, he smoked hashish a lot," said Hicham, describing his nephew as extremely shy and quiet but ''super kind" and ''super polite."
Hakim's radicalization was recent, his family said. ''He was smoking [marijuana] until six months ago," his sister, Khadija, told Le Parisien.
Oh, now wait a minute - could this be the real reason no one would hire them? Anyone want to hire someone who boozes and smokes hash/dope everyday? These two don't sound like candidates you would want to hire for your business.
Hicham said Badjoudj and five or six other French Muslim friends -- all unemployed -- had gone to Syria last year and enrolled in a theology school in the capital, Damascus. All ended up in Iraq, he said.
Where O where do they get the money to go to a theology school when they have no money? Who is paying for this?
Yeah, I think it's a pretty good guess.
