The writer of the article misses the point when he says:
France did not back U.S. war on terror in Iraq or send troops, so, in theory, it should not be among the enemies of al Qaeda. However, they have other sins to pay for, according to al Qaeda, including two very serious sins: Sending troops to Lebanon as a part of the U.N. deployment and a ban of the traditional Muslim headscarf in secular state schools.The writer's premise is wrong so his whole theory is incorrect. al Qaeda and groups like them don't like France not because of what it does or does not do but because France is not an Islamic state (that is the true sin to al Qaeda) and thus are infidels. Period. True, al Qaeda did not like France sending troops to Lebanon (although France reduced the number of troops sent) and al Qaeda really did not like France banning the traditional Muslim headscarf in schools, but I think Muslim extremists did not like France even before it took those two actions. al Qaeda and groups similar to them wants the world to follow Sharia law and only that law.
Since my thought too are random, I will say that few days ago I saw a news that in France more than a decade ago two nomad french girls would be raped by school boys almost daily and according to these girls up to at times 50 boys in number. Only a few got up to 3 years in prion.....
