This seems to prove that the French have deep ties with Islam and other Islamic nations. This is in no way an indication that France is as a whole "with the terrorists". We should be very clear on that.

It is the same on the flip side, I am offended when foreign exchange students I know ask me why I like Bush and wanted to invade Iraq. I didn't vote for him, like half the rest of the country, and I didn't want to send family members into a third world sand trap so they could fight people who weren't even terrorists. "Militants" are not terrorists.

If you build a large Islamic population..the extremists will infiltrate. Even the moderate Islamics will warn you of that. Listen to the word in the mosques or keep dreaming that these barbarians can be "loved" enough to give up their zealous ideas and laws.

If you have "deep" ties with Islamic nations you have NO CHOICE but to have ties with extremists. It is imposed on you with treats and intimidation. The French got themselves into this using the same naive view that you are expressing here. I admit the French may not be with the terrorists by their own free will as this is the nature of Islam but they are never the less obviously with them.

You have to understand that there are no other choices here. We have to make a base where moderate muslims can be freed from extreme islam in order for the rest of the world to survive. We have no other options. Saddam was a monster to his own people and was giving blood money to the EU to build up his own resources. He was already known to use part of those resources to fund terrorism (money to Arafat is case in point). Saddam was vulnerable to extremists when we invaded because of his weakened position. Unless the moderates have protection from extremists through democracy we will all be muslim in the next 100 years. Even then there are no guarantees the democracy will hold against islamic extremist terror. The alternative is to be a slave or be dead according to the koran. This is not the religion that we know that is based on free will. WAKE UP!!!
