#3
We call the Islamic Army in Iraq to free the French hostages and ask the French government to cancel their decision forbidding the wearing of the Hijab ...

Step 1: Terrorize the French into submitting to the mullahs' initial demands about school dress codes.

Step 2: Terrorize Moslems schoolgirls in France into dressing as the mullahs order.

Step 3: Terrorize non-Moslem schoolgirls in France into dressing as the mullahs order.

#7 So these guys are French. And they're "journalists".... I know I'm a bad person, but I just can't seem to work up the usual sympathy and outrage. The only thing that would make it worse is if they were Ram fans.......
