Terror in Paris: French capital on red alert
this is london ^ | 01.10.10 | Peter Allen and Martin Bentham

The usual horde of tourists queuing to climb the Eiffel Tower was missing.

Instead, armed officers barred the way to the deserted monument as, earlier this week, Paris was gripped by the latest al Qaeda terror scare.

Elsewhere, soldiers helped police to guard other potential targets in the French capital, ranging from the Arc de Triomphe and Louvre to the Gare du Nord, where hundreds of British visitors arrive daily on the Eurostar.

Isn’t this some sort of blatant discrimination against mooslims whose life intention is blowing innocent people to a bloody pulp? Truly...we are taking a step back in our civilization when we will not allow them to kill us and our families (in addition to the mental anguish of mooslims who don’t have access to innocent people to murder). Maybe the mooslims can go to the “world court” and file some sort of action against us? It would only be just.

The French didn’t learn the lessons of the religious wars of the past. They’re going to get to relive them.

We live in a world that’s worse than the one in which we grew up...thanks to this “religion” and the multicultural softy lefttards who cave in to it.

The French are what they are, and do what they do for their own, sometimes-to-us inscrutable reasons. Given the history of the country and the people, however, I'll say this: it's going to be one more bloody riot in the arrondissements if there's any major loss of life due to a terrorist attack, and it won't be the usual yutes doing the rioting, it'll be them being beaten to a bloody pulp.

The French don’t seem to have learned much of anything from the past. This is because they killed all of the relatively intelligent and successful French people during the revolution. Instead of survival of the fittest, the French have created survival of the stupidest and meanest. It’s worked out so well for them, that American progressive have implemented a similar program, using taxes and regulations instead of guillotines, at least for now.

A century before their Revolution, the French drove their highly intelligent, highly productive middle class out of France--the Huguenots--the people productive of the wealth of France.

This left France with a failing economy and a relatively small upper class ruling a huge lower class and set the scene for the horrors of the Revolution.

If present trends continue, this scenario could happen in America.

The living-in-France Arabs and their minions won’t terrorize anyone since their greatest nightmare would be the forced return to their native Islamic country.

We were attacked by Islamists on 9-11. The French people have done nothing to deserve this.

Horrible for the people of Paris, and for the tourists visiting that magnificent city. I lives in Paris in the 1986 when there were terrorist bombs going off all around, all the time. It was a terrifying time, but life went on. The French, and Americans in Paris, kept their sang-froid, and it passed.

Unfortunately, this will not go away. It is here to stay until these post Judeo-Christian Europeans wake up to the real danger they face.
