DTC, looks like that explosion was as a result of one of the several revenge attacks.

All I can add at the moment is that France is in shock, but carrying on. The local papers are full of photos of thousands of people crowding into the squares before the town halls - over 10,000 in Poitiers. In the shops and supermarkets today there are posters saying 'Nous sommes Charlie' and the first thing we have said to people is 'Bonjour, nous sommes Charlie' - like everyone else.

My own thoughts as to why we have arrived at this stage I will keep to myself for now people here are too shocked for me to think unemotionally.

Yup I will put my hand up to the Brit wannabe returnees are an asset and not a liability

I subscribe to the view that teenage years are a time of utter gormlessness a stage from which some but very few, never emerge

One Kouatchi brother did time for recruiting
and I suggest that like time in Long Kesh it may have radicalised hiim

It is not as tho they were sleepers - they were clearly above the radar for SDECE and so on -they were named and shamed within 12 h and yes the police seem to have selected someone else ('the third' Hamid Mourat) who was elsewhere

and yes I will go further - if it were London the streets would be full of dead and dying muslims some in chadors, alot with white sticks and a few with chair legs in plastic bags, with the Police saying oops sorry we thought they were armed

Oh I can give Je suis Charly in Arabic ( Egyptian dialect ) if anyone wants to try it out:

kull el nas -nahnu sharlee

( should do it - "all the people we charlie" )

yes, naomi, thanks - there is a danger that this spirals out of control....those brothers need to be hiked in asap.

Jourdain if you wanna explain why so many Algerians are in France it may be helpful to us damned Brits.

Most of us wont know for example that in the colonial era the Algerian space was incorporated into Metropolitan France - so the depute for sidi bou said jostled with the depute for haute maritime in the Chambre a Paris

Obviously after Charled de G "understood" the algerian problem,
there will be a lot of north africans saying - hold it ( or tiens ! ) we are French and have a right to be here ..... I think

It would be interesting to have your expert opinion

Retrocop
// The usual bleeding heart apologistas on this site declaring that these poor misled and misguided boys and girls were really good people and should be allowed to return to the UK and have a stern talking to and told not to do it again. //

Don't waste anymore time trying to find the posts you mention above, because they do not exist. You made it up.

[Peter Pedant]

Gromit - there is a certain pleasure to be had reading one's previous posts and thnking: hey I put that well ....

so it is hardly time wasted.

PP Did I ever post myself as an expert? I think not. I was simply trying to express the feelings that abound here at the moment and my reaction. Not sure why you asked me and I'm certainly NOT qualified to answer with any authority.
As NON-expert I suppose that the Algerian/French are here on the same colonial basis as are the British Pakistani/Indians.

If you are interested, the majority viewpoint which I have gleaned seems to be to separate the matter of religion from that of terrorism. I.E. The perpetrators are simply regarded as terrorists.

[DTCwordfan]

well I see the BBC News has not reported on the counter-attacks on mosques and Muslim businesses.

Am I surprised? No.

It's a dangerous time for la societé française at large.
