I posted something similar to this on a blog the other day. They didn't fear us because we're so conscious of our strength that we are very, very careful how we apply it. The europeans, however, have a different history and the Muslim world knows it. They know good and well, we will only go after the bad guys, but the euros will toss every single one of them out of their country so fast all their heads will spin. They know it, and they fear it.
Well, something has changed.
Italy bans burkas.
French are pounding islamis at home. As are the Dutch, and now, the British.
Not bad for a bunch of cheese eating surrending monkey euroweenie types.
And America? we offer islamic mortgages.
