Four injured after bomb explodes at kosher grocery store near Paris: report

PARIS — A French news agency is reporting that four people were injured when a small package bomb exploded inside a kosher grocery store in a Paris suburb.

The Sipa news agency says that the small explosion was set off by two hooded people dressed in black who entered the store around midday and put a package inside, citing an unnamed police official and a Jewish organization. The two fled after throwing a rock through the shop’s window shortly before the explosion, the police official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to speak publicly about the investigation.

The official said the injured people are being treated for wounds to their arms and legs from the explosion and broken glass.

The attack took place in Sarcelles, a suburb about 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of Paris.

A French Jewish umbrella organization, CRIF, said in a statement that “it fears this attack” is connected to the days of violent protests from Asia to Africa against the U.S.-produced film “Innocence of Muslims,” which ridicules Prophet Mohammad.

A completely shitty video with magic undeserved viral marketing memetic backing, hmm, wonder if the government was involved in creating it. I wonder if the creator of the video will be found masturbating in public like the creator of kony 2012. We're all allowed to post videos on "you"tube but don't know each one updates your utah supercomputer profile as to whether you are pro-establishment and a number indicating order to be dragged off via the NDAA. You thought you were searching google but google was searching you. Also I know the government is spying on me through my monitor. They have endless videos of me eating my boogers and plan to blackmail with them I suspect, WELL IT WON'T WORK because I will post those videos MYSELF! Yes, I eat my boogers OK???
disclaimer: All of my posts are fictional, any basis in reality is coincidental.

That's a relatively recent re-emergence, but I don't see them getting Islam-like power anytime soon, not even in the most ass-backwards backwaters of the U.S. of A. As soon as they start interfering too much with Big Business and Capital, they will be sent right back where they belong, so if they are to even become mainstream, they'll have to keep a low profile.

They didn't come down in the last shower, the Christian right has been flexing its political muscles since helping Jimmy Carter win the Democrat nomination back in the 70s and the Dominionist movement see nothing wrong with laissez-faire capitalism, so they're unlikely to upset Big Business.

• If said research is done by the gov't and is considered strategic (e.g. biological weapons) then they'll suck it down and STFU.
  
• If it's done by private companies, they might get some harassment, but otherwise be let to operate, as long as they can still find staff trained in genetics.
  
• Did I mention staff? With genetics and evolution banned from education, kiss locally-educated staff goodbye, as the subject will be "taboo" and no schools will have even an intro to it, and higher education will be left few and far between. The only solution would be outsourcing or hiring foreign or foreign-educated stuff, with extra costs that Big Capital doesn't want. The Saudis do that because they want no "contamination", but is the US of A ready for something like that?
  
• If they start pestering too much, they'll eventually be asked to STFU even by private venture, or private venture will bum its way out similarly to how the Military will do: "Strategic importance for the War Against Terror and to Preserve Our Way Of Living. Pwned".

While I think it's great there are sensible people there, something struck me as odd. Take a look at all the signs in English. It looks like they were written with a marker but they're all completely identical. How come?

Every time things start to settle down, some mysterious guy you've never heard of supposedly makes something really offensive which, despite being totally irrelevant in its supposed origin in the West, suddenly becomes widespread outrage throughout the Middle East.

That's the problem: it doesn't take much to offend Muslims, while the West requires literally being bitten in the ass before they do anything. It's like arguing that you don't like fighting, but the school bully goes out of his way every day to pick a fight with you. With the difference that you could destroy this particular bully if you really wanted.

Mossad is just at work again trying to make sure the US stays engaged in the Middle East so they don't have to go it alone in their belligerence against Iran.

Every time things start to settle down, some mysterious guy you've never heard of supposedly makes something really offensive which, despite being totally irrelevant in its supposed origin in the West, suddenly becomes widespread outrage throughout the Middle East. Kind of, like, as if some organization were actively bringing attention to such things for their own benefit - maybe even driving their original creation to begin with.

It's too bleeding fucking obvious.

Depends. If their rhethoric in some fields such as genetics starts interfering with the possibility to do research in the USA. . .
