Behind closed doors. The Jewish Week has a story about a Muslim journalist who inflitrated extremist Muslim groups in France, and now has a price on his head.
Until he dropped out two days before his book My ‘Brothers’ the Assassins was published, Sifaoui lived with the Islamic militants of Paris 12 hours a day and prayed with them five times daily. He watched them raising money on the streets of Paris and recruiting future terrorists in jails and in mosques. He traveled with them to London and Madrid. Sometimes he openly taped his conversations, sometimes he used a hidden camera and microphone.

What would happen if he were discovered? Sifaoui makes a slashing motion across his throat. “They would have killed me,” he says.

Sifaoui knew the risk he was taking but says it was worth it. Would he do it again? “Oui,” he responds, “because we all are threatened by terrorists,” not only journalists posing as sympathizers.
Brave man and righteous Muslim.

Meanwhile LGF passes along a story about a Jewish reporter infiltrating the Muslim Student Association at Queensborough Community College.
