"CNN - CHRISTAAN AMANPOUR just stated on CNN that these are only “groups of misguided “YOUNGSTERS” that have been radicalized.”

Of course it's a stupid thing to say, but what no one ever, EVER says is;

" ... by known militant adults"

Because in order for a yute to be radicalized, he's got to go somewhere and learn from someone ... and that or those someones are always known>

So it begs the question;
WHY don't they (we) , when they first learn the basics of identity, (in this case) .. let the hostage takers sit, while the imams are arrested, imprisoned without bail and the mosque and madras torched ?

So much time and effort put into formulating the language of negotiation or understanding and more than once determining the root of a problem ... but never laying the axe to it.

France ... and every nation would do well to adopt the policy of taking out the root cause of the poor, misguided militarized yute.

Agreed.
