More ‘diplomacy’ from the ‘peaceful religion of Islam’.
French officials are on guard after an Al Qaeda affiliate threatened vengeance for President Nicolas Sarkozy’s criticism of the face-covering veils worn by some Muslim women.
France is maintaining “very great vigilance” toward actions and statements by Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or North Africa, French Foreign Ministry spokesman Eric Chevallier said in a briefing.
“French authorities reaffirm their determination to fight terrorism,” he added.
The Algeria-based group issued a statement on Islamic Web sites vowing to “seek vengeance against France” over Sarkozy’s comments about face-covering Muslim veils such as the burqa and niqab. The declaration could not be independently verified.
Sarkozy said last week the burqa would not be “welcome” in France and would turn women into prisoners. France’s parliament created a commission to study the issue, which could lead to banning the Muslim robes from being worn in public.
I can’t say I blame him. Radical muslims are populating cities across Europe, and the women are such doormats, they still succumb to Sharia Law regardless of where they live.
Human Rights Watch said the move would be counterproductive, and a top British Muslim group said Sarkozy’s comments were patronizing and offensive.
‘Counterproductive’….let’s see, where have I heard that before? Oh yes:
……Obama has studiously avoided the phrase, (“War on Terror”) which officials see as legally troublesome and politically counterproductive.

“Human Rights Watch” should spend more effort lashing out at Islamic atrocities and misogyny, before they bitch about Sarkozy’s comment.
The Al Qaeda declaration called on followers to act “for the honor of our daughters and our sisters” and called on all Muslims “to respond to this hate.”
