This amazes and baffles me. I don't know why Al Qaeda and the Algerian insurgents wouldn't at least have more hesitation about targeting France than this. I know Algeria hates France for suppressing Islamic insurgency--and for having once possessed Algeria as a territory--but the fact is France itself --at least its population--is, of all the European countries, the most Islamic-heavy. I think nearly 10% of its population is Muslim now, and that number grows every day. Islam is France's second-biggest religion, and it's increasingly closing in on Catholic market-share every day.

The more I think about it, though, nothing A-Q and its allies do makes real sense. And of course they'd look upon their Islamic counterparts in France, and look upon all of America, as having sold out to western infidel culture. What despicable logic from despicable terrorists.
