Other Jews have been kidnapped because for those French kids: Jew = Money

Paris police flubbed the whole kidnapping affair in the early stages when they advised the family, during the first 5 days, not respond to the kidnappers' attempts to contact them. Police also brushed away any talk of anti-Semitism as the motive. French authorities are in full appeasement and do-everything-to-keep-things-calm mode following the November riots and the ongoing cartoon jihad.

Prediction: when this guy gets caught, the French touchy-feely sympathy media machine will go into full swing
