The fruits of the Euro-Arab Dialogue

As Bat Ye'Or has so capably chronicled, this is exactly the outcome of france's wrong-headed attempt to curry favour with the Islamic, Arab world. The poster below who referred to these zones as "D a-I" is absolutely correct- the jihadis (post-Tours, post-Poitiers) view all of france as their entitlement theologically.

I recommend Hugh Fitzgerald's "Douce france" for a cogent, fin-du-siecle overview of the situation. Whilst Fitzgerald is all-too-often verbose, this piece is very accurate (search Jihad Watch for the piece).
