US to Blame for Paris Jihad?

If the latest riots and some-say-Jihad arsons continue for much longer in Paris and/or Denmark or spread to other parts of Europe, don't be surprised if the US is fingered as being the country that caused it all. First of all, Europeans have never been shy to point to the US as causing problems on their continent. Whether it be the weather (too cold, too warm, too rainy, too many hurricanes, or too many plate-shiftings causing earthquakes), the economy (growing too fast or too slow), the oil price (too high, too low), their elections, or whatever, if the desired outcome is not at hand, people start blaming the US.

So now we have riots in Paris. Why not blame the US? C'mon - we all should know the drill by now. Islamofascists never did anyone any harm. It was the US that started it all in their quest for world domination and control of oil (Iraq) and and an endless supply of rocks (Afghanistan). It is precisely these attacks and only these attacks which is why muslims hate us. Yes - it's the US that is causing all this rage. Keep in mind that rioters in Paris are not Afghanis or Iraqis, but that never matters. Muslims always stand together. (Except if we include the last 2000 years where they're mostly at war with each other.) So this is why they're rioting in Paris. Again keep in mind that France was against the Iraq war, but again no matter.

Until now, the media has included several reasons for these riots - failure to integrate into French society, high unemployment, poverty among muslim youths. But if this thing last much longer, don't be surprised if we see the US as cause of it all - it just makes sense. And it's beginning to happen. In Sunday's Telegraph, former British ambassador to the US has implied that the Iraq invasion helped cause the London bombings. Review the reasons mentioned above for the justification. So is France next to point the finger? Stay tuned - coming soon to a European newspaper near you.
