It's honestly going to be so sad when it actually gets bombed and/or looted. That artwork needs to be moved to a more civilized country.

I suspect that this theme will repeat itself around the world. The effect of the "surprise" (yes, I'm skeptical) attack is multiplied with bomb threats and terrorist chatter intended to spook us.

It should be noted that Muslims fought for France during World War II. In the Battle of Monte Cassino, it was the 2nd French Expeditionary Corp, composed mainly of Algerians and Moroccans commanded by French officers which broke through the Gustav Line saving many Allied lives. Later it fought in France.

I was there in 2014 and we had to evec for a bomb threat. No one was spooked, just pissed... Anyway I got to see what I wanted. Maybe lost an hour of time.
