Everything else apart, are they trying to make some of the more fundamentalist Muslims now living in France, a lot of them in Paris, to attack the Olympics?

Heh. This looks like an enemy is flaunting themselves in the face of another enemy who also happens to hate them, although the first enemy seems woefully ignorant of that fact. Unfortunately, if the first party causes the second party to do something about the situation the ones who will suffer most will be members of the third group who may be at most useful fools, and a lot for real innocent bystanders may end up caught in the mess just because they happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
