According to the article there is a terrorist plot against the UK and france. There has been threats and false alerts such as this one on the Eiffel Tower so therefore the French and British officials have not yet raise the threat level. The warning came from a telephone booth. Soon after the intelligence officials received the calls they evacuated the Eiffel Tower. No bomb was found in the Eiffel Tower but the intelligence officials are claiming these false alarm that has been produce in the last week or two are all Islamist Connections.
I know that bombing and this war on terror is serious and really should be looked at thoroughly but I do think that labeling Terrorism to all Islam communities are unfair. In France, the government have even banned veils/hijabs in public placing insuring the safety of the country. I feel like this is only going to increase the tension between the two culture. I understand that they may be potential threats but veils are there tradition and so far I don't think many parts of the world has given any respect to the Islamic Culture. Not all Muslim are bad. If more time and afford is put into understanding these people that shares completely different culture as us, I think the tension would decrease by a great amount.
But I don't run countries so I don't make big decisions like this.

I also think that the threat of the bombing of the Eiffel Tower is caused by the banning of wearing veils. There's no respect at all. There's no tolerance. I agree with you that there should always be tolerance and acceptance between religions or ethnic groups. That way different people can live together in peace!
