Bump for decent Islamic newsThe statement is rational. Such a rarity from both the "Islamic" and European sides. Wonder if the Axis core of Germany and France have offered the same.
So far this is the only statement I've seen saying that the bombings were meant to oppose peace, rather than "an expression of humiliation, etc. etc."

I lift a glass to that.
Seeing how Germany is now busy preaching to Israel about non-violence and
France can't hide their longing for a return of the Vichy...I won't be vacationing
anywhere in Continental Europe...maybe ever.
And for un-informed lurkers (as I've said before): The Israeli Air Force has an
agreement with a country that allows them more airspace to "open the throttle" on their jets.
I suspect not one American in a thousand would know that the name of that country is:
Turkey.

They're not Arabs and the Army,which is the watchman of the state(because they are the one institution which hasn't been corrupted)is Kemalist,radical Islam's worst nightmare.Turkey's natural strategic partner is Israel with whom they have no territorial disputes and a common enemy in Syria.The two countries have had relations since 1949,a little noticed fact.
