As France grapples with the rise of Islamic extremism abroad and at home, those are snapshots of what might be an emerging trend: radical Islam in the private sector.
The line between legitimate religious expression and extremist subversion can be blurry. But a recent study by a local think tank paints a picture of rising fundamentalism in the workplace, ranging from proselytizing to pressure tactics to criminal activities.
In companies such as supermarket chains in immigrant-heavy areas, for instance, militant recruiters cause workplace tensions by imposing fundamentalist ideas on co-workers and pressuring managers to boycott certain products, the study says.
On a more sinister level, the study asserts that Islamic networks are trying to establish a presence in companies involved in sectors such as security, cargo, armored cars, courier services and transportation. Once they gain a foothold, operatives raise funds for militants via theft, embezzlement and robbery, the study says.
"Parallel to these sect-like risks, the spread of criminal practices has been detected in the heart of companies [with] two goals: crime using Islam as a pretext; and in addition, local financing of terrorism," concludes the study by the Center for Intelligence Research in Paris.

This is an excerpt, BTW. Full story is at the Courant.com link above.
But probably appropriate for bad coffee in the cafeteria.
If they jsut ignore it, it will go away.
Was it Kristoff who recently wrote that France was so much better than the US?
Where is he now?
Especially before 10 AM.
Sorry, that would be "Islam using crime as a pretext."
One of the things that they constantly try to convince us of is that this is "just" about crime. But it's not; crime is simply another means of Islamic fundraising, and has been since Mohammed's first raid.
Let's see how well French sophistication will handle this. I hope they don't run to U.S., crying for help.
By the way, all these will help the National Front. I suspect that their support will see a dramatic jump in the next election. It will get ugly.

Charles Martel would have know what to do with them.
So, it is OK if you set your secretary ablaze if she doesn't get her work done in a proper fashion.
When did they start doing that?
But the media assures us that there is no Islamic component to events such as the recent riots in France, that they were all class-based. If those had no Islamic component, how can the events described here possibly have an Islamic component?
So...how is Islam any different from the Mob? According to this study, it isn't, except that Islam uses the pretext of religion to justify their criminal activities. What a great scam!
hilarious

In France, "grappling" means something akin to "mental masturbation."
