Didn't the local imam tell them Islam was a religion of peace?
(Yes, for all you unblinking literalists out there, that was sarcasm.)
From "France detains 7 terror suspects," an AFP story, with thanks to M. Gozlan:
FRANCE'S domestic counter-espionage service (DST) detained seven people, including two women, who were allegedly seeking to go to Iraq to fight United States-led forces there, sources close to the case said today....
The article also contains some information about French Muslims already killed in Iraq:
The first French citizen reported to have been killed was Redouane El-Hakim, 19, who went to Iraq via Syria and was caught in a US air bombardment of Fallujah last July.Hakim and his brothers were known to frequent a radical Islamic prayer centre in the Paris suburb of Levallois Perret, which was investigated and closed early last year....
The Paris raids focused on the Adda'Wa mosque in the city's 19th arrondisement, which was described as a recruitment centre for the Iraq campaign.
Good morning ALL,
Soon, people of the world will be heard when they say, enough is enough.
Media reports are nil as they all have AGENDAS to promote without general concern for others.

Is the answer all A's ? ;)
You gotta laugh otherwise ... well.
Another prayer center uncovered as a terrorist recruiting centre. So what's new? I can name the top few mosques that serve as jihad recruitment billboards in teh UK and in France. A couple in Germany. All this gleaned from newsreports alone. Dunno much abt the US recruitment centers though.
P.S.: Anybody have Any updates on that Boston islamic centre story?
Logic tells us to examine the pattern of here. Mosques and Islamic centers all over the world are used for Jihad reruitment, armories, fortresses, intelligence work, bomb factories, and launch pads for attack. It would no stretch whatsoever to understand that mosques and Islamic centers here in the United States would be used for some, if not all, of these purposes.
One hopes that prudent, continual vigilance is taking place.
