“There are today nearly 900 from France who are part of this phenomenon, either in the theatre of operations in Syria or in Iraq.” This reflects rather seriously upon what is taught in mosques in France. Is there any investigation into that? If not, why not?
“Iraq Crisis: 900 French Citizens Recruited to Islamic State Jihad in Middle East,” by Gianluca Mezzofiore, International Business Times, August 13, 2014:
France’s interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve has stated that nearly 900 French citizens have travelled to the Middle East to fight on the side of Islamist groups in Syria and Iraq and some have joined the Islamic State militias.
“There are today nearly 900 from France who are part of this phenomenon, either in the theatre of operations in Syria or in Iraq. There are presumably some in Iraq because the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, which recruited them, takes them to all the places where it is engaged in combat,” Cazeneuve told France Info radio.
Cazeneuve also announced that France has received hundreds of asylum applications from Iraqi Christians fleeing violence at the hands of the jihadists in the war-torn country.
The development came after the Vatican appealed to Muslim leaders to “unambiguously denounce and condemn” the barbaric practices of the Islamic State against Christians and Yazidis in Iraq. Pope Francis has been vocal in criticising attacks against Christians after 100,000 of them were reported to have fled their homes in Iraq because of the Sunni militants’ threat.
France also announced it will supply arms to Iraq’s Kurds “in the coming hours” to aid the fight against the Islamic State. Paris received approval from authorities in Baghdad to allow the transfer of arms to the Kurds, according to French media reports.
The increased US assistance in northern Iraq may include a full-scale evacuation of nearly 20,000Yazidi Kurds trapped in the Sinjar mountains, forced to flee by an IS siege on the town of Sinjar.
Security officials are concerned that European militants will ultimately wage jihad against their homelands. In May, French national Mehdi Nemmouche who is suspected to have returned to his homeland from fighting for Islamist rebels in the Syrian Civil War allegedly opened fire at the Jewish Museum of Belgium killing four people.
Nemmouche has also recorded a video flying the flag of the Islamic State.

These “Soldiers” (as are the Frenchmen in combat) are easily identified by the yellow streak running down their backside.

Soooo it really helps to insult The French?

Good. Just don’t let the clowns back in. They’re doing our Intelligence Agencies’ job for them.

Pope Francis “condemns” the ISIS for the 100,000 Christians forced to flee.
Not a word said about the Yazidis.
AND THE USELSS F——————– NATIONS IS HOLDIGN HEARINGS ON ISRAEL, AND SENDING A ” FACT FINDING” TEAM.
But noting about Hamas killin their own people; human shields; or ISIS.
Many years ago, there was a group in the US– THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY. Their main point’ GET THE US OUR OF THE UN AND THE UN OUT OF THE US.
Truer today then in the 1960’s.
And let Obama, Kerry, Shillery; Rice etc go with them.

I agree that Pope Frances has been pretty useless, Oliver—but the Vatican actually has condemned the attacks on Yazidi:

the UN is the tower of Babel. transported from Babylon! Started long ago Zechariah 5.11 She has infiltrated every corner of earth. Where ever there is goddess worship. Perhaps now G-d will put it into their hearts to destroy her! Keep the faith!!
chrisleo says
Just a question of time now, as to when this will spill onto the streets of France and wider still Europe.
TH says
Pretty soon they will be blowing up the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and perhaps the Statue of Liberty among other things. Maybe then the Europeans and the successor of jihadist Obama will wake up.

900 French citizens recruited to Islamic State jihad
…………………………..
Any even marginally sane and decent person would run screaming from the sanguinary horror of the Islamic State—but Muslims from all over the civilized West are *flocking* to it. *Ugh*.
salamander says
There is only one way to deal with this scum and it comes at them screaming from the skies , so let them all gather in those fleapits leaving behind the countries they have bled dry , no housing benefits , free health care which the ungrateful bastards have claimed as their right, eat their sharia. But no, in this fucked up world we live in it will be back to normal, maybe a little sanction from the job centre for missing a back to work interview then back living with maw and paw, get their pals round and show them interesting stuff with bits of wire and batteries that they learned when they were on their sabbatical,

And La Belle France should give them asylum—while refusing to let these scum who have run off to join the Islamic State back in.

The problem is not only ISIS or ISIL, the problem is IS LAM.
I thought France was already part of the Islamic state?

One would hope that native French waiters in Paris would start acting snootish and arrogantly towards these “youths” a degree higher than they traditionally do to visiting American tourists….that might be the only PC way to drive all of them back to their homelands.

Maybe the satanic islamic state would be a good place for private americans to vacation this year.
