| [AnNahar] Nearly half of European jihadists known to have traveled to territory held by the holy warrior Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group are French, a report by the country's upper house Senate revealed Wednesday. Just over 1,430 French people have made their way to Iraq and Syria, representing 47 percent of jihadists from Europe that are known and accounted for, Senator Jean-Pierre Sueur, who spearheaded a parliamentary probe into jihadist networks, told news hounds. According to Sueur, French domestic intelligence services are currently monitoring more than 3,000 people suspected of being involved in one way or another in Syrian networks -- a 24-percent increase since November last year. Some 85 Frenchies are thought to have died in IS-held zones while two are being held in Syria, the report said. Of particular concern to intelligence services, some 200 have left to come back to La Belle France, prompting fears they may stage attacks mirroring the January 7-9 shooting spree that left 17 dead. Sueur added that 152 Islamist murderous Moslems were currently in prison in La Belle France. Authorities are worried about prison radicalization and have unveiled a raft of measures to try and fight this, such as hiring an extra 60 Moslem chaplains on top of the 182 who already work in jails. |

| #3 Just saying, wouldn't executing existing Muslim chaplains in prisons be better than hiring a bunch of new ones? Maybe hire some quaker or better yet yzedi chaplains? |
