Your takeaway is what, Islamic terrorism is not something to be concerned about, other terrorism is what we should focus on? And you expect someone else to share this view?

You provided the source. The quotes speak for themselves. Islamic radicals are a growing problem, Christianity not so much.

Even the source he provides doesn't substantiate his position

Default 2,200 mosques in France, Imam demands that double in 2 years

The French:

1) colonized Muslim countries

2) imported Muslims as cheap labor

And only now they see the problem they created for themselves?

You'll find that the folks who ally themselves to groups like ISIS usually don't go to a proper Mosque as they view normal Imams as sellouts and they can't find other sympathizers to their cause, and therefore they reach to the internet to congregate.
A very interesting point.

Yes, it is for the FBI, which would explain why they didn't do jack about the Boston Marathon bombers when other countries were saying, "See these two guys, you need to watch them because they are terrorists."

They were probably worried that someone might receive a paper cut when being handed a flier at a TEA Party rally.

Russia, "These guys have been contacting terrorist groups and have even traveled to meet with them, you need to take them very serious."

FBI, "We'd love to but our resources are spread too thin. Some of these TEA Party people are driving Rascal Scooter and might bump into and spill a trash can."

I didn't realize the French created Islam and its history of violent expansion since its founding?

"And only now they see the problem they created for themselves?"

Apologist are so short sighted in their view of history. Apparently anything bad to do with Islam is viewed as being caused by the Evil West.

1) Muslims colonized the Middle East, Far East, Europe and Africa.

2) Muslims created the intercontinental slave trade for Free labor that has been going on for 1400 years and continues to this day.

Apparently the west was stupid enough to invite those in that practice the "Literal interpretation" of the Quran into our countries.

Kind of interesting that the evil West is doing the most to combat modern Slavery today. The least being? You guessed it: Muslim dominated countries and North Korea.

You have to understand the extreme liberal blame list (in order):
1. White men.
2. White people.
3. Republicans.
4. Conservatives.
5. Christians/Jews.
6. Rural people.
7. Southerners.
8. The USA.
9. Europe.
10. Westerner culture.

No matter what the problem, you must blame one of the groups in this list. You start with the top and then work your way down.

So you openly admit that France deserves to be invaded by Muslims because of past deeds? I sure hope the French don't see it that way. Pretty much every civilization has committed misdeeds. I guess everyone should just accept whatever comes to them and never fight for their own survival?

All Westerners are in this fight together, so I hope to see a resurgence of French identity and the defeat of Islam in France and elsewhere in the West.

Thanks to French colonialism.
