| Sorry, France, al Q still considers you a target |

| PARIS (Reuters) - Deputy al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri has urged a militant Algerian Islamist group to punish "Crusader nation" France, even though it vehemently opposed the U.S.-led war in Iraq, a newspaper said on Thursday. Still on the sh*t list, despite opposition to the Iraq war. Being a halfway dhimmi will not cut it. The Le Figaro daily cited a security expert who had reviewed the entire tape, released on Monday, in which Zawahri called on the Algerian GSPC group to become "a bone in the throat of the American and French crusaders." He also urged the GSPC -- the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat -- to sow fear "in the hearts of the traitors and the apostate sons of France" and to crush the "pillars of the Crusader alliance." You have to admit, even with translation, the terrorist prose flows, not like NORK prose. The writers must have the high-pro-glow. The expression crusader refers to medieval military campaigns waged in the name of Christendom to recapture the Holy Land from Muslims, and is frequently used in Islamist circles to designate enemies of Islam. When Zawahri's message was initially released on the Internet, to coincide with the 5th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States, media reports focused on threats to attack U.S. allies in Gulf Arab states and Israel. But Anne Giudicelli, head of the Terrorisc (sic) security consultancy and who reviewed the whole tape, told Le Figaro the anti-France message had dominated the homepage of the Internet website used by the GSPC for the past few days. Frawnce has really pissed us off! The group emerged from the Armed Islamic Group blamed for a massacre of civilians during a bloody insurgency against Algeria's military-backed government in the 1990s. It is viewed as a major threat by the French security services and sources quoted by Le Figaro said it had switched its focus to taking part in the international jihad -- which means holy war in Arabic -- after losing influence at home. The Jihad grass is greener in Frawnce, and we are getting our a$$es kicked in Algeria. We're outa here. Many French people believe their country is less of a target for Islamist-inspired attacks because of France's stance over Iraq, but officials say that cuts no ice with militants. That's right you folks are still toast. It's the Jihad Way™ A ban of the traditional Muslim headscarf in secular state schools, close French intelligence links with its former North African colonies combating Islamist extremists, and its role in NATO operations in Afghanistan against the Taliban militia, have secured France's status as a "Crusader nation," experts say. With that resume, the French govt will never get off the al Q sh*t list. Of course that list has been constantly updated for 1300 years or so. France is also dispatching some 2,000 troops to join a peacekeeping force in its former protectorate Lebanon, putting it in the front line of a mission that Zawahri has denounced. Oops! Made enemies again. On Monday, Pierrre de Bousquet de Florian, head of the DST domestic security service, said the threat of terrorist attack remained "very high and very international." "For our Islamist adversaries, our country is frankly in the Western camp, the crusaders in their words, and we will be spared nothing," he told RTL radio on Monday. |

I'll put this into food terms so the French can more easily understand it. Just because you feed the crocodile doesn't mean you're off the menu. Idjits. |
