They Were Misinformed
Looks like France might be getting a clue at last.
Monday's French press reflects national feelings of shock and defiance as the country rallies behind the two French journalists facing a death threat from the Islamist group holding them captive in Iraq.....One of the two journalists, Georges Malbrunot, writes for Le Figaro, which points out that the war in Iraq was "sought by the president of the United States, but condemned by the president of the French Republic".
The paper expresses "outrage" at what it calls the act of "fanatics who claim to speak for an oppressed Islam, but who use the very methods of the oppressors".
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, to find out that there's oppression practiced by Islamic terrorists.
Round up the usual suspects.
