Another convert to Islam ends up mixed up with terrorists. Where, o where, is this grand religion of peace we keep hearing about? From the New York Times, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
ARIS, May 25 — A Paris court today sentenced a Frenchman with ties to a suspect in the Madrid train bombings to four years in prison for helping Islamic terrorists in Europe.The man, David Courtallier, was convicted of conspiring with criminals engaged in a terrorist enterprise and was not implicated in the Madrid bombings, which killed 191 people on March 11. But Mr. Courtallier, a cheese vendor from France's Savoy region who converted to Islam in 1997, had been in contact with Jamal Zougam, one of the first suspects arrested in the Madrid attacks.
"...not implicated in the Madrid bombings, which killed 191 people on March 11. But Mr. Courtallier, a cheese vendor from France's Savoy region who converted to Islam in 1997, had been in contact..."
Of course, you realize that this eliminates any doubt of how cheesy French terrorists can be.
