Two Frenchmen? But didn't they subscribe to the peaceful, tolerant, Europeanized, TariqRamadanized Islam? From AP, with thanks to Nicolei:
PARIS: A Pakistani man and two Frenchmen of North African origin charged with terrorism for their alleged roles in a network to recruit jihad fighters went on trial here on Wednesday.Police apprehended the three in 2002 for allegedly providing logistical support to would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid. Investigators could not confirm that suspicion later.
French suspects Hassan el-Cheguer and Hakim Mokhfi told investigators that they had been recruited for jihad by Ghulam Rana (67), a Pakistani who heads the ‘Chemin Droit’ (Straight Path) humanitarian group in France. Rana denies the allegations.
A "humanitarian" group. That reminds me of Sayyid Qutb: "The foremost duty of Islam is to depose Jahiliyyah [the society and rule of unbelievers] from the leadership of man, with the intention of raising human beings to that high position which Allah has chosen for him." Gee, thanks. How humanitarian of you.
Very early, Very busy day!

Stay safe! *gone*
Terminology such as "Frenchmen of North African origin" and "French suspects Hassan el-Cheguer and Hakim Mokhfi" obscures the truth. These people are not French in any but the most legalistic sense. They are foreigners -- aliens in the land and culture of France. Press and government statements referring to such people as "French" should seem ridiculous. Even in France, these muslims now refer to the native French as "Gaulois" -- "people of Gaul". These muslims are not "of Gaul". They are aliens in a land they despise.
2 frenchmen! How absolutely shocking! Am sure the high and mighty in paris will lose their sleep over this for days to come....
