France suffered a recent tragedy, I'll admit. But to say that one bombing constitutes an ongoing threat...is, well, ludicrous. Also, "Islamists" (I think they're called Muslims) did not attack France. Even if Al-Qaida attacked France, just because they're Muslim does not mean France is threatened by Islam or anything. A religion cannot attack or threaten anything, and Al-Qaida is fringe-Islam anyway. They're acting without the approval of their religious peers.

Have you read the article Adrian? France has received a letter clearly threatening it of terrorist acts such as the ones in 1995 in the Paris underground.
France hasn't suffered a recent tragedy, Spain has.
Islamists are muslim extremists/integrists, there's a huge difference with "normal" muslims. I know perfectly well that their religious peers condemn violence as much as anybody else, and I do not make any amalgam here and do not feel threatened by Islam.
