For the second time, the Eiffel Tower is on alert. France has raised their security and have unfoiled a terrorist plan in England, France and Germany.

I cannot believe anyone would want to destroy this beautiful work of art. People put their hard work into it and it is a symbol of France. Maybe this is just upsetting to me because I was in France a couple weeks ago. The beauty of the Eiffel Tower was captivating and I hate the idea of it getting blown up because some Muslims are upset. What is their problem? If you hate France and other countries so much, leave. Don't you dare threaten them or us. Will there be some people making up excuses for Muslims if this goes through?

My reaction would be that I'd be heartbroken for France, England and Germany if anything happens. I wish with all my heart nothing happens. I hate seeing things like this happen.

I even feel like it may start off a World War Three up. Not sure about it but it could happen.

Let us all hope for the best. Hopefully, the authorities will uncover everything and arrest those who are responsible. The American people are with the people of Europe throughout this.

I would naturally think that we would need to be more understanding and tolerant and not expect the same from the muslim world, and call everyone who disagrees with me an islamophobe.

Wow. Really?

Good thing I don't think like you.

That's some good sarcasm right there.

My reaction? "oh well, you asked for it". Isn't that what we are supposed to say these days?

The Eiffel Tower is opposite in the beauty line from a dome.

It is architecturally insulting to Islam.

The French, themselves, should dismantle it in respect to Allah.

I'm thinking of getting a "bowl" haircut.

I don't like creating enemies needlessly.

No. It isn't. What makes you say that?

I am not saying that. Why are all the conservatives caving in now? Afraid?

I'm glad I have photos of the Eiffel Tower from when I visited Paris several times.

I would say time to wipe Mecca off the face of the planet. Isn't that what they want for ALL of Judaism and Christendom. Where does it stop. Then they will go after the Far East. Time to get this out of our systems now and settle this crap. Leave us alone and we leave you alone simple as that.

I will go you one better liberalvoice. What is going to be your reaction when they set off a nuke on an American city. How long do we wait to deal with the festering cancer of Islamic Jihad. For all those who think this is not plausible, did you ever think they would run planes in the World Trade Center. 911 is a bigger attack than taking down the Eiffel Tower. Nine years later what really has been solved. The West has turned into the Neville Chamberlains of the 21st century. Look at what is happening throughout Europe.

These people are nothing if they are not patient. Just like the sleeper KGB spies they caught earlier in the year on AMERICAN soil. Don't hear much about that anymore do you?

They have learned well from their former Russian Masters. That connection is a whole other can of worms.

I've noticed that the left talks about "proportionality" when it comes to Israel fighting against Islamists. So I'm wondering, is it "proportionate" to blow up the Eifel tower because Burkas got banned?

or is proportionality just a thing expected of Jews?
