Police in France have arrested 10 more people in early morning raids in a continuing clampdown in the wake of a spate of killings by an al-Qaeda-inspired gunman last month.

Wednesday’s arrests happened in the southern cities of Marseille and Valence, two towns in the southwest and in the northeastern town of Roubaix, a police source told the Reuters news agency.

The raids followed the arrest of 19 people on March 30, a week after police snipers shot dead Mohammed Merah, who killed three Jewish school children, a rabbi and three soldiers in a spate of attacks around Toulouse.

“Those arrested have a similar profile to Mohammed Merah,” a local police source said. “They are isolated individuals, who are self-radicalised.”

Wednesday’s raids were not linked to either those arrests or the Merah attacks, the source said.

He said the suspects were tracked on Islamist forums expressing extreme views and said they were preparing to travel to areas including Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Sahel belt to wage “jihad”, or holy war.

Some of those arrested had already been and returned to France, the source said.

Sarkozy, who is facing an uphill battle to be re-elected president in elections later this month, has vowed to root out any form of theat following Merah’s killing spree.

Thirteen of the 19 people arrested last Friday are alleged to have links to radical French group Forsane Alizza, or Knights of Pride, with some being investigated on suspicion of terrorism, the Paris public prosecutor said on Tuesday.

Prosecutor Francois Molins told a news conference on Tuesday that members of the Forsane Alizza received physical training in parks and forests around Paris and religious indoctrination “in order to take part in a jihad”, or holy war.

The group preached hate and violence on their internet site which “called for an Islamic caliphate in France, the
application of the Sharia and incited Muslims to unite to prepare for civil war”, Molins said.

Too small? Click here This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening. We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way... But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it.  If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted. Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it! One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display. But you won't be back, trust me on that. Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

This self radicalisatin thing is a big worry. Is it some sort of virus or something. I sure hope it doesn’t happen to me, who knows?

The psychologists have missed a trick here, when investigating the concept of Cognitive Dissonance they have always seen it as an individual phenomenon.
We can see that whole governments and organisations can suffer from a group Cognitive Dissonance. Maybe it’s a different virus?

Deport the scums until they don’t come back to France

“Two radical Islamists have already been put on flights out of France”
Tattoo’d with PNG I hope, else they will be returning on their cousins passport.
Maybe they could be marked with a radioactive RFD, then when they enter a European Airport alarms would go off! Nice.
