Thank you so much for your insightful response.
Everything you said makes sense to me.
Except, well not except exactly, but let me add a possible occurence.
Suppose Al-Queda of whatever islmaofacist group, gets it into their head to aid and abet these French "insurgents", heh? Now I know there's rumors all about this is happening but no one says so for sure. So they sneak in rocket launchers and blow up some french planes. So they bomb the Eiffel tower.
Whatever they do, with a little help from their friends, that 10% could, what with the french being so panty-waist, actually take over the country.
I guess I sit here at times, pinching myself, and wonder if France could really be taken over by Islamofacists. Like so man didn't believe New Orleans would flood and be essentially wiped off the map. These things at times happen before our eyes and we think we're watching fiction.
Ah well, I suppose I should watch the action like everyone else and stop trying to predict the immediate future. I can't shake this feeling of deja-vu all over again.

If they down two or three or four French airliners, hundreds of Frenchmen will die.
"C'est la guerre."
Even among the Cindy Sheehan crowd, where 2,000 war casualties brings about anguished demands for surrender, a "take over" would be quite a different matter. Even such a group would only put up with their own enslavement for a certain period of time before they would be calling out for Islamo-fascist blood.
A "take over" is only possible when a conqueror has enough firepower to be able to put down any challange to its occupation by force of arms. That takes an Ottoman Army or a German Army or a Soviet Army or a U.S. Army.
At the current time, the Muslims in Europe don't have that. All they can do is terrorise which, in the end, is the tactic of an armed force that is too weak to attack anything but "soft targets".
In the end, Europe is merely allowing itself to be terrorized and these Muslims are risking the awakening of Europe's ancient demons.
Europe and France may seem, as you say, "so panty-waist" at the present time. However, given enough provocation, the Frenchman and the other Europeans can turn into quite a viscious and bloodthirsty bunch of savages.
