These Parisian suburbs are a cauldron of danger.

Anyone who has not read the City Journal's article "Barbarians at the gate" should do so.

Since a big seller in France is the book that claims the US government painted a cruise missle to look like a plane and launched it into the Pentagon, I would expect there to be a strong following in France that would adopt the position that Americans or Israelis were behind any terrorism they may experience.

...but on the positive side, it could have led to a new variety of Blue Cheese !

Those French are such fibbers!!

I read it when it was printed and was debating whether to post it here. Denis sounds like france's worst nightmare.

They'll be sorry for their rampant multiculturalism! Sorry unto hell!

Wonder if this might be some of that VX that went missing a week or two ago.

[America's Resolve]

Wonder if they'll look for the 'root causes' on this one like they did in the US?!? Wonder if they'll have a best selling book that translates as the "Big Lie"?

Dweebs

According to AP, authorities also discovered a BIOHAZARD suit.

This is what I found interesting from your link:

The men were preparing a chemical attack, according to radio and television reports and the daily newspaper Le Parisien, which quoted unidentified police officials and agents from the counterintelligence service DST. Radio and television reports said the chemicals could be used to pollute public drinking water systems.

Godspeed

Do the Morroccans even know about the concept of soap? This sounds highly unlikely.

Considering that the concept of toilet paper, or even a leaf, a corncob, or a page out the Sears cataloge seems to be beyond them, they probably don't.

"Do the Morroccans even know about the concept of soap?"

My memory, of 30 years in the hotel business, says you meant 'French', not Morraccans..........

[El Gato]

Perhaps they just like to kill.

Most likely Joose, Yah? There are Jews in France, and they have already been the targets of violence by the Sand Nazies. They just wanted to up the body count on their next Jihad.

[PsyOp]

Turns out it was just a case of deodorant and some scented soap, but French authoriteis are taking no chances... in case it gets into the wrong hands.

LOL...then I suppose the next big seller will be a book about how the US painted cheese monkeys to look like Islamakazis of "Algerian or Moroccan descent". The suspicious sauces will be McDonald's special sauce components.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Uh oh.............

[Darksheare]

I was still surprised that they actually arrested the clowns.
If they had thought that the target was us instead, they probably would have let it slide.
Hopefully, they'll finally 'get it' that the mooslims aren't our 'fwends'..
*I know, waaaaay tooo much to hope for.*

From the article: "The laxisme of the French criminal justice system is now notorious. Judges often make remarks indicating their sympathy for the criminals they are trying (based upon the usual generalizations about how society, not the criminal, is to blame)"

We should probably not be surprised if the guys with the suspicious chemicals (which SURELY they were going to make cosmetics out of, NOT a chem weapon) will be out on bail in a few days?

[Howlin]

ROFLMAO!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

But how can this be? Europe was supposed to be safe after they decided to throw the Israelis to the wolves and curse America. As for this brilliant French victory, I'll lay anybody 6:1 odds that it came about as a result of American intelligence services.

Soap and razors into fraaannnce and doltland.

[Righty1]

Don't worry they will figure it out!
