McGrath, I agree with your basic point of view, but am not at all sure about your approach to the facts.

1. GUESTS in political threads are inherently suspect, and you are probably right about this one. He sounds like a garden-variety scumbag, all right.

2. In Europe, and especially in France, there are outspoken anti-semetic groups other than Muslims who are likely suspects.

3. If you mean to say the attacks may have been done by Zionist agents-provacateurs, I think that's extremely improbable. I don't think that's how things mostly work, and I'd want to see some evidence before entertaining such a view.
