Motive?They were reportedly shouting "Allahu Akbar" which I'm sure we'll learn from the Pbama administration actually translates as "It's Bush's Trump's Fault" . . . http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3708394/Two-men-armed-knives-people-hostage-French-church.html
Stupid me, I looked up the French word for Police and found it is Police.
I don't know how the French language "police" ever allowed that to happen. I've only been to France twice, most recently in 1994, and back then the police were still called the gendarmerie.
France has two national police forces:[1] The Police Nationale, formerly called the "Sûreté", is considered a civilian police force. Its origins date back to 1812 and was created by Eugène François Vidocq. In 1966 its name was officially changed to "Police Nationale".[1] It has primary responsibility for major cities and large urban areas. The Police Nationale are under the control of the Ministry of the Interior; its strength is roughly 150 000.[1] The Gendarmerie Nationale is part of the French armed forces. It has the primary responsibility for policing smaller towns and rural areas, as well as the armed forces and military installations, airport security and shipping ports. Being a military force, the gendarmerie has a highly centralized organization structure. It is under the control of both the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of the Interior (as far as its civil duties are concerned)

How long will it be, before they drive a truck into a church, and then set off their load of explosives? The only thing that might limit the casualties from such is that the churches, being French, will be mostly empty.
It's true our churches are emptier than your gay night clubs. Do tell me, do you have to bring your cousin for happy cracker hour on Sundays or will any dude from your serpent handling community do?
You mean, when I go to church, or when I go to a gay night club?
I will pay you to record yourself saying that in a heavy French accent and sending us the MP3. Edit: Please be nice to each other. Polite, blah blah blah. Still willing to pay for that in MP3 format, tho. 5 euro good?
I'm sure John Cleese got more than 5 Euros for a fake french accent.

Does that mean something like "I know a nice place for a mosque, many leagues from here"?I don't know if the proximity hurt them so much, but I do question the propriety of a church helping to establish a mosque. Seems an obvious non-starter.
