| EFL Islamic radicals held training camps for potential recruits across France through 2002, Le Parisien newspaper reported Wednesday, adding that French investigators believe they have successfully dismantled the network running the camps... The purpose of the sites was to take untested candidates and determine whether they were fit for jihad in battle zones like Afghanistan and Chechnya... if they couldn’t make the grade for Afghanistan and Chechnya they could at least defaced graveyards and assault local Jews Most recruits came from Paris-region mosques where religious leaders preached a hardline brand of Islam, the newspaper said. The newspaper said that investigators from the DST, France’s counterintelligence agency, believe that France has dismantled the network that ran the training camps. but the mosques themselves and their hatred doctrine are still in business |

| #2 As opposed to a moderate brand of Islam. As opposed to an over-the-top brand of Islam. There is no "moderate" brand of Islam. The group you think of as "moderate" is in reality the sleeper-cell Islamists that will pour forth once they get sufficient numbers to make a difference. It's all one faith, with one goal. They may use different methods, but the proposed outcome is the same. |
