What lessons can America draw from this ?
The Europeans are scared of their Muslim populations, scared of what perceived slight might turn them from shooting up kosher butchers to shooting up targets of more, shall we say, concern to the general population. When the war with Iraq starts, we'll find out.
Keep the Muslims out of Eire. I know there are few there compared to rest of Europe.
Islamic fanatics in all western countries must be expelled. The moderates who want to adopt western civilization may stay. America Haters need not apply.
