Bin Laden and the Islamist Fascists may soon be regarding Europe as low hanging fruit. When and if they do, Europe may experience a few 9/11's of its own.

Although it is bad, and I apoligize in advance to any Eurpoean visitors on the board, I think something like this is exactly what needs to happen in Europe. Until there is a major strike in Europe, a lot worse than a train derailmant, they are not going to wake up and start taking terrorism out of the Middle East seriously. There was a joke a week back or so with the Concorde slamming into the Eiffel tower. This, or something of the same magnitude, is exatly what needs to happen.

You can slander the Irish all you want. However, you can be sure of one thing, that all the Irish will be dead before they surrender the Republic to Muslims.
They fought the British for 800 years and recovered most of their homeland.

Hey, I AM Irish (-American) and I drink, and I certainly hope what you say is true. But they got a lot of Muslims over there now, and for the life of me I don't understand why. Don't understand it about the Scandos either. I understand about the US, nation of immigrants, etc. The European countries that had colonies, I understand why they have an immigrant Muslim population now, but these other places, I'm clueless.

Alas, I fear you are correct. As someone who lives in Germany, I clearly gather no comfort from the prospect.
The central facts in understanding European lack of enthusiasm for the war against terror, its antipathy toward America, its near unanimous opposition to the war in Iraq and its visceral hatred of George Bush are:
1. A belief that America was attacked essentially for its support of Israel which is misplaced and obsessive because of domestic political lobbies.
2. That Europe is not a target.
3. That the notion that terrorists would strike with weapons of mass destruction is so fanciful that it need not be considered seriously or even considered at all -and it is not commonly considered.

I mean, why do they care about their little "Palestinians" AT ALL-never mind why SO MUCH?
They don't care about the Serbs. They don't care about the Kurds. They don't care about the Tamils. They don't care about the Papuans. They don't care about the Sudanese. They don't care about the Congolese.
What is it (other than their desire to wipe out the Jews) that makes the so-called Palestinians such a huge and obsessive object of European concern?

Secular left is insane. Another quote:
Or consider the European reception of Yusuf al-Qaradawi, heir to Sayyid Qutb as the religious authority of the Muslim Brotherhood. Wanted on charges of terrorism in his native Egypt, al-Qaradawi now lives in Qatar. Like Tariq Ramadan in Switzerland, he emphasizes that Muslims must keep apart from liberal democracy as it is practiced in the West while also availing themselves of its benefits and advantages. But he goes much further. Unlike Ramadan, he approves of wife-beating in the forms sanctioned by the Quran; as for homosexuals, he is agnostic on whether they should be thrown off a high cliff or flogged to death. Yet this year, in an official ceremony at Londons City Hall, al-Qaradawi was welcomed as "an Islamic scholar held in great respect" by the mayor of London, Ken Livingstone. "You are truly, truly welcome," gushed Livingstone, an otherwise enthusiastic supporter of gay pride.

World opinion view in FR ping.
I'm curious if this is going to be somewhat of a play out of Europe getting taken over and that England, as in WWII, will become the turning point of the already declared war (on radical islamic fundamentalism) by then. I am a proud American, and thought it would be interesting to try and get a perspective from other proud countrymen. Australia, and Britain, have always been our allies, and see the bonds between the three getting a lot tighter before all is said and done.
England has Europe to create problems, United States has Mexico, and to a far less extent, Canada. with Muslim BS trying to radicalize it's religious law on mooslims who are Canadian. Even Australia has problems with the "Religion of Peace" island hopping towards them.
This is not a hate muslim turn in the thread. It is a concern about a possible "outting" of how soon we will have an official World War against the radical Islam element around the globe. Am asking others around the world if my vision is crystal clear, as far as a problem coming at the "freest" nations of the world.

I think the only reason it is not "official" is it would sound the alarms to attack. This has been the game of our world politicians. They are trying to pretend there is no problem whist they figure out what to do. I believe the EU will go down first, staring with the low hanging fruit of france. They have the largest population of muslims.

The Irish economy has been booming for the last 15 years. They simply need more workers. And I don't think the Irish have experienced any major problems with their immigrants.

Sadly, the truth is we (US collectively) are aiding the Muslim
Jihad against us. Even after 911, Iraq and all the rest, we still have leaders - including President Bush - who still don't "get it."
The percieved necessity of political correctness that leads us to at least pretend to see Islam as "The Religion of Peace" flies in the face of 1500 years of history.
The first step to resolving a problem is to recognize the problem. The US still does not recognize the problem. Europe doesn't even recognize that there is a problem.

However, you can be sure of one thing, that all the Irish will be dead before they surrender the Republic to Muslims. They fought the British for 800 years and recovered most of their homeland. They fought against the Anglicans/Episcopalians. Ionian Greeks, Armenians and Lebanese fought Muslims and for longer. Greeks had to escape (those who survived), the part of Armenia which was ruled by Russia exists. the rest is gone, Christians in Lebanon are reduced to minority (which will be destroyed after Syrian regime is "liberated").
