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."

It looks as if the French plan to ally themselves with the Muslims of North Africa and the Middle East, to form a Mediterranean alliance against the U.S., is moving toward the results predicted by Bat Ye'or.
I hope Chirac is pleased.
Indeed!
It is definitely an interesting chapter in human history!
Baboonus Jihadicdus.. They should be in cages..or buried under them..
Maybe he's the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla!
Muslims are peaceful, assimilated Frenchman.
Maybe now France will close the borders to terrorists.
The deathcult muslims had better don their asbestos cameljockey garb if the Jews do.
The "religious leaders" are nuts, like 99% of the rank and file are.
Anyone want to live next door to a POS like that?
The wacko Muslims aren't just after Jews, they hate American Infidels just as much.
"This time 'first they came for the Jews...'"
Very appropriate. Would you please post the complete quote.
They DID sanitize it. They didn't mention the castration and blinding.
Be afraid - very afraid. The Communist Manifesto is about accomplished. This will finish it. All the while this administration provides sanctions for the illegals & calls that religion one of peace. Ever seen such idiotic decisions of which most all here would vote back into office.
That was my first thought also. What a scumbag.
