Hoping that al-Qaeda has dispatched operatives. But...but...aren't Muslims in Western countries supposed to abide by the law of the land, and only greasy Islamophobes think otherwise?
"Jihadists ‘declare war’ on France over veil ban," from AFP, April 14 (thanks to Block Ness):
NICOSIA: Members of Arabic language jihadist forums have called for war on France over its ban on niqabs, a US-based web service said on Wednesday. The draconian new law, the first to be enforced in Europe, went into effect on Monday. Wearing the niqab or burka, a head-to-toe body covering, is now banned in the street, public gardens, shops and government buildings. In messages on a number of threads, “contributors posted calls to punish France for what was perceived as an anti-Islamic law,” including calls for al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb to “carry out operations to ‘deter’ France.” One exchange on Monday called for “members to declare war against France,” while another expressed hope that “al Qaeda has dispatched operatives to France to attack the country.”
