The "youth."

In life, Ilan Halimi sold cellular phones on a boulevard named after Voltaire, off a square dedicated to la République. He was an ordinary young Frenchman, except for one thing; he was Jewish, which got him killed. So in death, after 25 days of torture, Ilan Halimi became a symbol of this Continent's failures in dealing with its poor and maladjusted Muslims.
His story is shaking France in a deeper, possibly more lasting, way than the recent riots or the ongoing fracas over the Muhammad cartoons. Last week, on a Monday morning, Ilan was found naked, handcuffed, with burns and bruises over 80% of his body, stumbling on train tracks in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, south of Paris. He died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Each detail of his kidnapping and ordeal that emerged in the past week fed widespread popular outrage.
On Jan. 20, the 23-year-old Ilan, depicted here, went for a rendezvous with a young woman he met at his store and fell right into the hands of his kidnappers. In the previous month, this group tried to entrap six other men, four of them Jewish, using women as bait. Ilan was whisked to the cité de la Pierre-plate, a large housing project in Bagneux, a Paris suburb (or banlieue) that's home to immigrant and French lower-middle-class families. In an empty third-floor apartment and later a basement utility room, he was tortured to death. Several times, as Nidra Poller this week reported in the Journal's European editorial pages, the kidnappers called Ilan's family and read them verses from the Quran while their son screamed in agony in the background. Their demands for ransom from Ilan's modest parents never turned out to be serious.

"maladjusted Muslims" = demonic spawn of Hell.
The true face of islam.
Since when is killing an infidel a maladjustment.
It's kind of like saying maladjusted grizzly bear kills hiker.- Tom
Keep placating them and groveling France they are sure
to appreciate that and treat y'all far more kindly....
This was probably one of the most repulsive murders in french history. If they don't get this thing under control, the french can expect it to be just the first of many.
Can you imagine this, and JUST when the EU voted to send all that money to the Palistinians too..
What terrible timeing! They could have at least waited till the check cleared.
France is SO Lost....
The "youth."
Precisely. And they don't have a handle on it, and may not get one.
They've let too many of these Muslims hordes in, and there is no way out which is not likely drenched in blood.
Imagine if the victim was a muslim who had been kidnapped and tortured by Jews in France.
"Imagine if the victim was a muslim who had been kidnapped and tortured by Jews in France."
Imagine how much more active and vigorous the response of the French politicians would have been if a muslim had been killed in this fashion instead of a Jew.
Calling him a "youth" makes the whole incident seem like a youthful transgression--like joy riding, shoplifting, or smoking pot.
M***********s.
(p.s., the seventh letter of the word is "f.")
Piss be on him.
"His story is shaking France in a deeper, possibly more lasting, way than the recent riots or the ongoing fracas over the Muhammad cartoons."
I doubt it. It's going to take a lot more than a few murdered Jews, film makers, honor murdered daughters, bombed to death commuters, etc. to wake up Europe. Or US, btw. The French had 15000 dead grandparents and THAT didn't wake them up, not that the Muslims were responsible for that, certainly not. I don't know what will awaken Europe out of its atheistic, hedonistic stupor, I really don't.
Where is that photo from?
When was it taken?
It is disturbing.
