Mr. Halimi, 23, died Feb. 13, shortly after he was found near a train station 15 miles away by passers-by, after crawling out of the wooded area where he was dumped. He was naked and bleeding from at least four stab wounds to his throat, his hands bound and adhesive tape covering his mouth and eyes. According to the initial autopsy report, burns, apparently from the acid, covered 60 percent of his body.
"I knew they had someone down there," said a young French-Arab man, loitering in the doorway of a building adjacent to the one where Mr. Halimi was held. He claimed to live upstairs from the makeshift dungeon but would not give his name or say whether he knew then that the man was a Jew. "I didn't know they were torturing him," he said. "Otherwise, I would have called the police."
But it is clear that plenty of people did know, both that Mr. Halimi was being tortured and that he was Jewish. The police, according to lawyers with access to the investigation files, think at least 20 people participated in his abduction and the subsequent, amateurish negotiations for ransom. His captors told his family that if they did not have the money, they should "go and get it from your synagogue," and later contacted a rabbi, telling him, "We have a Jew."

"I knew they had someone down there," said a young French-Arab man, Torture, smorture. It's not like they were drawing cartoons or anything. One scrawling of big Mo and this dude would have sprung right to action.

I am shocked the New York Times didn't do more to "sanitize" this story before printing it.

Look at Europe and you are seeing our future. Islamic problems have intensified with the passing of time. The Europeans gave the Muslims everything they wanted and this is what they are getting in return.
Can you think of another country where they are giving the Muzzies everything they want?
