.."the processes can be divided into two categories, one material aimed at the most popular sites and most important economically, (Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, etc.) and the second directed against important figures [of] Paris, led by the mayor of Paris."

Keep it up AQ, keep it coming, remind the West and the US electorate just what you are.
Wasn't it Arabs who destroyed the library of Alexandria? They'll do it if they can. Scum of the earth.
Methinks ol’ Sarko is a nasty burr under the Cicada saddle
Would we save Paris again?
Buy lots of bullets, open a bullet factory in Paris, don’t sell bullets to anyone that is not native french.
Send imports of 45 colts and give them away to only native French.
We can bring al qeada to their Knees but, we must have an iron fist
Is Paris Burning?
If the mullahs there take up the call, paris had best prepare itself.
Arise children of the fatherland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny’s
Bloody standard is raised
Listen to the sound in the fields
The howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midst
To cut the throats of your sons and consorts
To arms citizens Form your battalions
March, march
Let impure blood
Water our furrows
...
What! These foreign cohorts!
They would make laws in our courts!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would cut down our warrior sons
Good Lord! By chained hands
Our brow would yield under the yoke
The vile despots would have themselves be
The masters of destiny
Sarkozy is positioning himself to succeed Bush as the leader of the free world.
But there would be much hand wringing and calls for increased dialog...
Not to worry; “change” is coming. Obama will negotiate his way through such threats.
As a stipulation they may ask the heathen muzzies to bring sharp knives, or use the guillotine, thereby enabling them to cut their heads of with less effort.
Allons-on enfants de la Patrie
L’heure de boire est arrivee...
I don’t think that is going to happen.
The french will tire of these mooselimb bastards and deal with them in their own way someday.
How long it takes till that day comes?
I know we here have a little bit bigger chip on our shoulder but I still have hope for some french balls.
Most of the free world’s leaders are now staunchly with Bush, a little fact the addle brained republicans won’t dare mention.
Thanks. You’ve been a member of that site since March 2003 and have over 8000 posts. I admire your diligence.
I'm thinking it was Caesar who did that.
Wasn’t it Arabs who destroyed the library of Alexandria.............................No, I think that was Rome.Alexandria was Egyptian.
Ancient and modern sources identify four possible occasions for the destruction of the Library:
1. Caesar’s conquest 48 BC;
2. The attack of Aurelian in the 3rd century;
3. The decree of Theophilus in 391;
4. The Muslim conquest in 642 or thereafter.

Very interesting. Thanks for the link.
AQ’s target list is not just economic but cultural. To attack the Louvre is to attack Western civilization, which these Islamic fascists reject. Security was already high when I was in Paris in January 2006 and it was not uncommon to see paramilitary forces with automatic weapons patrolling near major monuments. I also believe that the French would have little tolerance for any such attacks and would quickly start rounding up and deporting foreign Muslims.
The French did elect Sarkozy and that’s not nothing.
Interesting. Just looked it up. Apparantly, the actual cause/blame is unknown. One theory says Rome.Another says Muslims.

Everything will be so much better with Obama - why, t’s all because Bush won’t dialogue with them.
Sarko just could be the right man for the job. Last November w spent 3 days in Paris. Everyone there went out of their way to be nice. BTW, the arabs rioted during the same time, 12 miles North of Paris. The French this time let them do it for 2 days then cut the BS.
It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere
It is the other way around. You are correct I think that there is no French presence in Saudi Arabia, though there are extensive business ties (at least previously with Saddam) and with Syria. What AQ does have is bases in France == all those carbeques and “youths” are evidence of their existence.
Knowing the French the way I do, I think mine is closer to the truth today... ;-)
If only Caesar had written commentaries on his African campaign as he did with the Gallic and Civil War campaigns.
Sounds like fascinating reading. I need to hit the library. History is my favorite subject to read, on those rare occasions I get an opportunity to read a book.
This bunch of dogs can't hunt.
If AQ wants to destroy Paris and if Islam wants to conquer Europe, it’s up to the Europeans to save their own butts. We aren’t gonna do it for them this time. If they don’t learn from two world wars, that’s their problem, and when they find themselves living under Shariah law, perhaps they’ll wish they’d thought twice.
Thanks for the ping.
I'm thinking it was Caesar who did that.
Over the centuries, there may have been several library collections at Alexandria that were acquired and destroyed.
Talk about tragically putting all our eggs in one basket.
The loss of so many books.... so much knowledge lost....
I can’t see Germans living under mooslim law. Some lands will never go Islamic—Germany, Ireland, Romania, Poland, Russia, etc...
That is true. Ireland, Romania, and Poland have large Catholic populations and won’t give it up to the ROP. The Germans and the Russians you just don’t mess with, and they don’t take a lot of crap. Also the Germans have six million dead Jews on their record, so they aren’t about to go Islamic. Denmark has a large Muslim population, but given the spine they showed with the cartoon fiasco, I don’t think they’ll accept Shariah law.
France, Switzerland, Sweden, Holland, Italy, and Britain on the other hand....
I believe it was probably lost in a calamity where almost all died...maybe an earthquake/tsunami and the survivors were people at a distance with little knowledge of the library anyway. Fertile ground for vague rumors, etc.
The tragedy is, there are still Moslems walking the Earth. Caesar didn’t burn the library of Alexandria, btw.
