surrounded by secular Western culture and by what many Muslims see as a subtle bigotry among the French against Arabs.

Man! That subtle bigotry is enought to make you wanna explode!

[Piquaboy]

Am I suppose to feel sorry for them?

[Mogollon]

Cults always prey on the gullible.

The most disturbing thing about this is how easily these two were able to leave a major capital, go to Syria and into Iraq and Falljuah without any detection by U.S. forces or intelligence whatsoever.

It never fails to please me when morons such as these are permanently removed from the gene pool.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

But the pair of French Muslims died insurgents in Iraq -- one a suicide car bomber,

They were TERRORISTS damn it and this article is PROOF that this is not an "Iraqi resistance" movement but a campaign coordinated by international terrorists waging jihad against "unfaithful muslims" who have alligned with Westerners.

AgitProp needs to fess up to which side of this war they are rooting for.

Abdelhalim Badjoudj and Redouane el-Hakim

[BIGZ]

Like many young Muslims in France, Abdelhalim Badjoudj and Redouane el-Hakim did not have jobs,

In France and elsewhere, Denmark, Sweden, any place Muslims have migrated. Keep the culture and use the economic ( welfare ) system.

This is the reason the Muslims can not afford for Iraq to be an economic succsess. The only way the Muslim religion maintains control is keep the masses indigent, a free economic base would destroy the fanatical hold the Muslim religion has over its followers. Much the same as the Blacks in the United States.

Again... they aren't French, they are Muslim Arabs. In this case, holding a French passport doesn't make you French. It just shows the detrimental effects of a liberal immigration policy.

[TADSLOS]

Badjoudj and Hakim's excellent adventure.

[SC Swamp Fox]

counterterrorism officials worry that some of the young men of mostly Tunisian and Algerian descent will return home with combat skills to wage jihad in France.

Oh, the irony. Do the frogs want us to kill them or do they want us to capture them, hold them at Gitmo for a while and then return them to Paris?

[NoClones]

those stupid, little punks took the easy way out. they gave in to hate, violence and bigotry. they believed the lies put out by the imams whose main goal is recruiting cannon fodder. the 'leaders' of the cult of islam does this to keep their own positions secure, to keep the uneducated and ignorant, uneducated and ignorant and thinking they really do need the 'imams' and the bin ladens to tell them what to do

ultimately, as the author notes, it comes down to having no home life; something leftists the world over would have everyone believe isn't necessary for civilization.

It's a real honor to go

Yup, and the first one to take down the Eiffel Tower will be a mega-hero.

He was such a good boy. ''He was smoking [marijuana] until six months ago," his sister, Khadija, told Le Parisien. Oh where did we go wrong?

''There's no work here. There's no caring father," said Hicham, 36. ''Life is tough.".....and then you die.

The two teenage friends hardly seemed like Islamic radicals. They smoked marijuana, drank beer, listened to rap music, and wore jeans. Sorry but they sound exactly like Islamic radicals. Mohammed Atta frequented strip bars and drank. They lie, they steal, they cheat. Why do these idiots in the press try to sell the idea that these are devout religious people? They aren't. They are filthy, murdering pigs.

''If he had work, this wouldn't have happened," said Badjoudj's uncle, Hicham. ''He saw no future for himself." Sorry, "Hicham", root cause analysis: Bad seed perpetrated evil, got killed, and is now hopefully burning in hell.

Geesh. Bring out the violin. I feel so bad for these French criminals. What a load of crap in this article.

[McGavin999]

They go because the french and the europeans in general, have painted the US as the enemy. They go because the europeans have sided with the Palestinians instead of taking a balanced approach.

They say the US is one sided, but if that were so, why are we the only ones proposing a state for them (once they stop blowing up Israelis).

Face it, this thing has been nurtured by the french and it's going to come back and bite them.

[antonia]

the pair of French Muslims died insurgents in Iraq -- one a suicide car bomber, according to relatives who traced the young men's path from the slums of Paris through a religious school in Syria to the fight against the US-led coalition next door. >snip< The body of Hakim, 19, reportedly was found July 17 after US troops bombed a suspected insurgent hide-out in Fallujah, the city west of Baghdad that was overrun this month by American and Iraqi troops.
	Imagine if these and the many other young men just like them through out the Middle East, Europe and the Polynesians islands, had instead gone to Iraq to join with the coalition to help remove Saddam's fascists empire.
	Imagine, then if they had then staid in Iraq and were at the fore front of the huge opportunity creating new legitimate businesses in an environment that is not only democratic, but very unrestricted for new businesses.
	Imagine how instead of having blown him self up, and/or destorying lives, as an offering to the demon god allah, they would have been at the fore front, a founding father, of a new democracy.
	Imagine the beauty, and wealth that is possible in peaceful democratic Iraq. In the fertile Mesopotamian plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in what is now modern Iraq, with a new beautifully designed canal system with which to reclaim the desert and grow and abundance of delicious foods, an abundant and profitable oil surplus's. They could have been princes, and allah gave them what?

"The body of Hakim, 19, reportedly was found July 17 after US troops bombed a suspected insurgent hide-out in Fallujah, the city west of Baghdad that was overrun this month by American and Iraqi troops."
Any dead raghead = your basic good thing.

"Nearly a tenth of the 60 million people in France are Muslims, many of whom live in high-rise public housing slums that breed violence and crime."
Waaaaaay past time to call "L'Homme d'Orkin!" Tout de suite! Vite!!

[dila813]

"Hakim and Badjoudj lived in the same northern Paris neighborhood. Both were unemployed and came from broken families." Sounds like they are adopting the worst of Western Culture and none of the good.

HOW DARE Bush slaughter that poor innocent little boy in his prime?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! This is an outrage!

"counterterrorism officials worry that some of the young men of mostly Tunisian and Algerian descent will return home with combat skills to wage jihad in France."

oh and let me guess...now you want the good ole USofA to protect your sorry arses? Ok sure thing, because you were so supportive of us going in there, you even volunteered to help! OH NO WAIT! NO YOU DIDN'T!

Maybe the boys will come home to you with their new-found skills. And you can all be America-haters together in your little corner of the world...or is that bringing the war too close to home for your pansy little French comfort? Don't worry my little poodles, the mean boys won't hurt you...you will make perfect little pets for them.

What a bunch of turkeys...
