France ambassador: Joblessness does not breed terrorism

President Obama may be reluctant to string together the two words “radical” and “Islam,” but Gerard Araud, the France ambassador to the United States, didn’t have a problem with the label, telling a CNN broadcast audience it’s obvious – radical Islamism is to blame for the recent Paris terror.

And more to point: he specifically said joblessness was not to blame for the violence.

“It is not because you are unemployed that you are blowing yourself [up] in a theater,” Araud said, during an interview on CNN. “It is something which is much more particular. The problem is radical Islam, very, very obviously.”

CNN host Fareed Zakaria challenged Araud’s assertion, asking about “the issue that people have raised which is that France has an alienated and unassimilated Muslim population,” the Blaze reported.

“House of War: Islam’s Jihad Against the World” conveys what the West needs to know about Islam and the violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the subjugation and destruction of other faiths, cultures and systems of government

And Araud’s reply?

“Most of them were actually not alienated in an economic sense,” he said, the Blaze reported. “They had jobs.”

This isn’t the first time Araud spoke of the problem of radical Islamism. When Charlie Hebdo’s news outlet was attacked, Araud said then France was “at war with radical Islam.”

Contrast that with Obama, who has come under concerted fire from both sides of the political aisle for refusing to identify and label recent acts of terror as rooted in radical Islamism. Rather, Obama has responded to terror attacks with rhetoric and speeches to make clear his view that violence is part and parcel of all faiths, including Christianity.
