French police have opened an investigation after a Paris newspaper received a letter from a Muslim group threatening spectacular attacks that would make "blood run to (its) borders."
The letter, from a previously unknown group calling itself the "Servants of Allah the Mighty and the Wise," said it planned to take action after Muslim girls were banned from wearing headscarves in schools.
The bill was passed last month by the National Assembly.
"You have let loose on yourself a river of hate and ignorance, not only toward Muslims but toward Islam itself," the letter, addressed to Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin said.
"We will plunge France into terror and remorse, and we will make blood run to your borders."
Describing France as a country of "wine, pigs, loose morals and nudity," the group said it planned to use attack techniques imported from Gaza and Chechnya that "have never been used in the West until now."
The letter, postmarked from Paris and sent to the chief editor of "Le Parisien," urged Muslims to stay out of crowded areas.
"Europe is a new war zone for the Jihad," it says. "Know that our fight has only just begun."

Here in England we have lived under the shadow of terrorist bombings by the IRA for many years now. I lived by Heathrow Airport and travelled into London quite a lot and never have I ever been worried or put off travelling by the threat of being killed.
What's the point? If it's your time, it's your time. I am not going to let some wanker spoil my day just because they have got a bee in their bonnet - I am bigger than that.

I watched the news today, oh boy.
Supposedly that Muslim group threatining (sp?) Paris isn't a link to Al Qaeda. Supposedly they are angry at the French government, because of the ban for women to wear the traditional head scarves. If its true? I don't know.
I'm worry about you guys in Europe. Please look after yourselves.
