Keep up the pressure. Email 'em all over the world, print 'em out, nail 'em to the doors of the deathcult mosques.

Maybe they'll eventually just self-destruct in rage.

Some experts like Antoine Basbous, the director of the Paris Observatory of Arab Countries, believe that Muslim anger could leave a lasting diplomatic impact, particularly when it comes to Europe's ties with North Africa and the Middle East.

And it damn well should! But not the way this guy thinks it should apparently. The first rule of holes is "when you find yourself in one, stop digging."

When Muslim immigrants in Europe are festering and threatening to blow the whole continent sky high over a bunch of silly cartoons, you would think that somebody, somewhere might buy a clue and decide that it is time to close the bloody door!

Muzzie better worry that America is starting to hate them back. When Americans start hating they don't kill in the thousands like the Muzzies, they kill in the hundreds of thousands.

I could see a lot of lefties going Islamic. The Kookran is written so vague that that would appeal to lefty language butchering. No one is in charge. Lefties like that. The men get to wear dresses. Lefty guys would like that. The women get to be covered, head to toe. Lefty women haven't tried that so it would be 'experimental'. Lefty woman could get smacked around and treated like dirt. Lefty women have done everything else so, socially approved S&M, authentic third world S&M would be kinky.

Oh, and they'd have a thousand years history of hating the west instead of just a hundred or so from wimpy socialism.

The Muslims "convinced" them the same way they spread Islam everywhere - by blood and fire. Those areas were once majority Christian; the small Christian "dhimmi" population that remained was under constant assault, and the Christian holy places were effectively off limits to Christian pilgrims. Furthermore, Muslim marauders constantly kidnapped and enslaved Christians from other parts of the Mediterranean area; at varous points, there were entire religious orders dedicated to ransoming them, sometimes by exchanging their own members for kidnapped Christians.

In other words, the religion of peace was acting as it always does, but at the time of the Crusades, for various internal political reasons, it had become even more extreme and Christians were motivated to fight back. Here's a little from the Catholic Encyclopedia on hostage ransom, btw:

The redemption of captives has always been regarded in the Church as a work of mercy, as is abundantly testified by many lives of saints who devoted themselves to this task. The period of the Crusades, when so many Christians were in danger of falling into the hands of infidels, witnessed the rise of religious orders vowed exclusively to this pious work. In the thirteenth century there is mention of an order of Montjoie, founded for this purpose in Spain, but its existence was brief, as it was established in 1180 and united in 1221 with the Order of Calatrava. Another Spanish order prospered better; this was founded in the thirteenth century by St Peter Nolasco under the title of Our Lady of Mercy (de la Merced), whence the name Mercedarians. It soon spread widely from Aragon, and has still several houses at Rome, in Italy, Spain, and the old Spanish colonies. Finally, the Order of Trinitarians, which exists to the present day, had at first no other object, as is recalled by the primitive title: "Ordo S. Trinitatis et de redemptione captivorum".

LOL!

Actually, it's not true that no one is in charge: your local mad mullah is in charge, because Islam is a theocratic form of political government as well as (allegedly) a religion. But lefties love authoritarianism, so they'd be cool with that, too.

Not all Muslims are terrorists.

But all terrorists are Muslims.

All the brave Arabs died when they refused to convert to Isam c. 660AD

There's a line that should bring about rioting and the bombing of innocents.

"and the Eagle muzzled and tied down. What a world!"


That reminds me of the scene in "Lord of The Rings - Return of the King" when, in the battle, the eagles came and destroyed the evil Nozguls.

For some reason I cried during that scene as it represented to me the strength of America.

The eagle must continue to soar. We must stay strong.

Tonight is the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics. I hope and I pray that they go off without a hitch. This would be a perfect opportunity for the Moo-slimes to attack Europe. I hope my fears are groundless.

"What utter rot. Truly stupid writing. The VICTIMS are responsible for being the subject of violence?"

A similar article ran in the San Francisco Comical today, written by a staff correspondent. The theme was that the cartoon riots were a "wake up call" to Europe to be more culturally senstive, and even used the word "Islamophobia".

Just bizarre. You know if it were a Crucifix in a jar of urine these same butt clowns would be squealing about "Freedom of Expression". What scum the modern Left is.

Whatever the EU Government are saying the mood among the population is changing
I intend to only vote in the future for people that will kick the Muslim's asses even if I have to vote for the devil himself
Around me more and more people are taking the same decision
The next elections here might become interesting

Right, you are. The 10,000 churches that I referred to relates to Caliph al-Hakim, who had them destroyed throughout his domain, including the Holy Sepulchre.

Hearing about how the Crusades were purely an act of Christian aggression really annoys me because it shows 1) a complete willingness to comment on the history of something one knows nothing about and 2) the political motivations for making such a statement in ignorance.
