why would somebody do that there of all places?
Taking a wild guess here, but I have a feeling it will be spun as some sort of response to the French Senate passing a ban on full Muslim veils.
Because they can.
Because they were watching "Superman II" and thought "that looks like a good idea".
Now hold on lets not jump to conclusions. america is supposed to be a place of religious freedom and targeting muslims as extremists goes against the foundations of our country. Before snap judgements, let's find out the truth please.
Alexander, c'mon buddy...wake up and smell the jihad!
If they attack because of the burqa ban, they just proved France right. Now if the USA would grow a pair, they could pass the same law here.
Guys..lets not jump the gun here and start accusing you know who....What r the chances this has anything to do with the burka ban....I would say pretty good chance..and if not, it is not beneath the religion of peace as we all know by now
spun...... yeah
Wow....if not about the burka ban...what an AMAZING coincidence!!!
Hugo, do you REALLY want your government telling you what you can and can't wear? There are a number of places in the world where your dreams could come true. Hope to see you there (from a distance).
They want to put a mosque up!!
Because people continue to ignore the Golden Rule! No matter where you are from, what religion you follow, what color your skin is or what flavor ice cream you prefer; the answer to the world's problems is the same: Always treat others the way you want to be treated! But we don't listen! I hope to God it is a hoax!
it is the french ICON, are you really this unaware of what is out there.
Would this to related to the Burka Ban in France? Me think so.
Very likely but what we dont is whether the supporters or protesters behind it.
first thing i thought of to. "hrm... they go through with the ban and look what pops up on the news..."
I don't think this was Muslim Extremists. They don't give warnings. They just detonate.
Do you think it was because of the ban on burkas? Sounds like the Muslim men are upset again because the rest of the world doesn't believe exactly what they want them to believe. Oh if we could all walk around with our heads stuck in the Islamic dark ages, what a wonderful world it would be. The news flash for you... if you want to live in a backwards Islamic country, then go back to the one that you came from and stop trying to make the rest of the world become like you. No one made you move to France, America, England or anywhere else. Go home and shut up.
I second that!
Me too and I think most sane people agree with this, so I suggest you (people targeted in original post) have respect for our opinion and adapt to our society and culture.
I think it's unfair to suggest that ALL Muslim men believe this. There are extremists in every religion, let's treat them as they are rather than base massive generalizations on the minority.
AMEN!!!
Legalize pot and you will have a world of happy, hungry, and paranoid people...
AMEN Michael!!!
I third that. I am tired of people not wanting to change to all the new countries that they migrate to. If you didn't like it in Afghanistan, Cuba or ETC… and moved to another country/ any country, don't go there and try now to change their lives by having them accept your life styles or whatever the case. Adapt to your new life or pack up again and move back.
You ridiculous, hateful person. Do you have any idea how many Muslims are nationalized French citizens? How many were born in France? The government is supposed to adapt to the needs of its citizens, not the other way around. Grow up.
In agreement with you. I fourth that. And Amen!
F*&^%$#@N...A
Well put. I once read that you have the right to believe in something as long as you don't infringe on the rights of others. Well, I, as a woman, don't believe in wearing a veil and bowing down to someone because they are a man. So if you want to believe that's correct don't try to inflict it on others like me.
I agree!!!!
On the contrary MP. I do not believe that it is the nationals who called in the threat. Additionally, I do not believe that is the Nationals who are up in arms because they can no longer wear a face covering veil. The nationals of which you speak have chosen to NATIONALIZE and become citizens and live by the rules of France and assimilate. Good for them. It is what they should do and I am sure they are fine human beings. However, the people who call in bomb threats about they Eifel Tower are not the people of which you speak.
Couldn't be Muslim terrorists. They don't give warnings – they just detonate.
For the entire history of our country, immigrants coming here were expected and "wanted" to adapt to the American culture and were quite proud of themselves and their heritage once they did. Now we have the hispanics and muslims who just plain refuse to get with the program and that's ok. We'll just change all our road signs and business signs to spanish and run the other way when the muslims get angry. Enough is enough! become an American with the rest of us or get out!
Can you imagine Americans going to ... let's say Saudi Arabia....first we blow up by any means their buildings, kill lots of innocents, then build churches and/or synogogues at the locations? Oh and we'll all wear bikinis, we demand equal rights for women and on and on. And the best part? The Saudi people will put up a fight with their own leaders to help us? CAN YOU IMAGINE??????
Pam, what is your phone number? I think I love you. 🙂 (just kidding of course, but great post)
roflmao @Michael. I loved your post about the French surrendering. At the first sign of trouble, the White House phone will ring...as it has in the past !!!!
Michael, would you like someone to tell you," you can't wear a red shirt, but you can wear a white one. The residents of our country don't like it."?! HELL NO. Muslims are humans just like you. If you like the red shirt, you wear it. If you don't, you don't. Wearing a burqa in France should be the same. If a women likes the burqa, she'll wear it. If she dosen't, she dosen't. Muslims have been our neighbors, collegues, and in some cases, relatives. We've even been the ice cream man who made laps around your neighborhood, selling snacks to your kids. So don't hate y'all.
I'M MUSLIM AND PROUD 🙂
Yes, why don't we just make more laws that force us to be the same. That right there sounds like something out of the middle ages. We live in a beautiful world filled with diversity, if somebody wants to wear a face cover I say, let them.
Chocolate Ice. I am not anti-muslim or anti fashion choice or whatever. Let me put it to you this way. I have said this before and I will say it again. As an American male, how far do you think I would get walking into a bank, or a school, or trying to fly, or sitting on a bus, or anything... wearing a black ski mask? If we are going to be fair, then lets be fair. I want to wear a ski mask tomorrow. Let's see how long it takes for me to get arrested or have children scared of me. Come on man, comparing this to a red or white shirt is hyperbolic at best.
And as an American female, I know the rights the world has to offer. Maybe you won't be trusted by employers when trying to get a job, or you won't be allowed to ride the bus, but these brave women in France know what they stand by and WHY. They aren't wearing the burqa for no reason as you compare it to wearing a black ski for the heck of it. They know they were commanded to do so and thank god some people would go to unspeakable lengths to fight for their religion. They know what the believe in and they deserve a right to preserve it. God Bless America for letting them do so. That's how it's possible to be both an all-American and Muslim at the same time. 🙂
And for the sack of argument, I'm done discussing this with you or anyone else.

I was just there a week ago today, people in this world are crazy 😦
I BET RUSH LIMBAUGH AND PALIN WERE SPREADING THEIR HATE AROUND PARIS TODAY!!!
Go clean your cage, parrot. It is filthy.
Obviously no true idea, but I wonder if this has anything to do with France's recent law of banning the burka.
It dies
These people are really digging a hole for themselves...
Religion of peace, at it again.
It is the religion of piece(s). As long as that's how everyone ends up in the end then they're happy.
So what happens when you say or DO anything against muslims? Where are the Peaceful muslims right not decrying this bomb threat?
Agreed, you don't see many muslim people actively working against this kind of stuff. I'm sure they are there......
Because France just passed a law that will ban burqas!!!!!!!
This is definitely connected to the Burqa ban. After America, Britain, Israel, India, Russia, Australia and Spain now it is the turn of the France – these Islamic fundamentalists are making enemies in every corner of the world.
I really don't wish to bring down terroristic type actions onto any other Nation, but I hope they DO. The more Nations that understand the threat, the more that will back action. Once the World is tired of it, and it's a problem on their home soil (as opposed to something that happened "across the pond"), the more Great nations that will rise to take down the extremist elements of the world.
I'm really happy I can comment now without needing an account. I've got a feeling that it is no more than a warning and not a real threat.
That building is too tall to come down.
Seriously Joe? Did you see the twin towers fall? They were 1,368 ft, Eiffel Tower is 986 ft.
actually the eiffell tower is 1063 ft
