European Suicide Watch. It's virtually certain that these 6,000 were admitted with no consideration of the jihad ideology at all. From [1] UPI, with thanks to Teri:

PARIS, France (UPI) -- France plans to both grant residency to about 6,000 illegal immigrants as well as expel about twice that number.

The decision was announced by Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy under his one-time legalization plan for families with children in French schools which will expire Aug. 14, reports the International Herald Tribune.

Government figures say there are about 4.5 million immigrants in France. The Interior Ministry estimates there are an additional 200,000 to 400,000 people who are in the country illegally.
