In regards to the incident where the French Muslims did not sympathize with the hostage takers, the author writes: "French Muslims acted thus because of the damage the incident might otherwise do to jihad – in breaking the ranks of the community, in sowing the seeds of fitna." Is he asserting that this lack of support for the abductors was motivated by a desire to further the jihad? I'm confused? Good European Muslims prefer jihaad to fitna? Maybe I don't understand his point...
