Islam is the enemy. It must be named as such and opposed with violence.

Yup.

The actual purposes of “homeland security” and whatever measures France, Germany, etc. are taking to “defeat terrorism”, is to keep it to manageable levels and to reduce the freedoms of those who would fight it, until it is too late to do anything about it.

The only way Europe can successfully defend itself against Arab terrorists is to do what Israel does when confronted with its own brand of Arab terrorists, the Palestinians — destroy them before they destroy you.

Yet how can the Europeans crack down against Arab terrorists, when they’ve spent the entire period of Israel’s existence excoriating the Israelis every time they’ve taken action to save their country from Arab terrorists?

In fact, the Europeans have become so anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian that at the very time the French horrors happened yesterday, the European Council in Brussels was enacting a Europe-wide boycott of Israeli goods.

Can a Europe that so hates Israel adopt Israeli anti-terrorism policies, such as mobilizing their entire defense and police forces to crack down on Arab terrorists to the point of killing them just like the hated Israelis do?

It’s hard to imagine such a thing. How would the Europeans continue to be able to attack Israel in the media every time an Israeli shot a knife-wielding Palestinian coming toward him if the Europeans also began to kill murderous Arabs in their midst? It will never happen.

I could not agree more. One of the many objectives is to wear us down. WE must all be fatigued now with this constant yapping, sniping, blood letting and death by a thousand small cuts. Our apathy is not being reversed. It is being increased by our weariness. Our response is not complete apathy though. It is having given up on leadership and will be to finally take care of ourselves.

His books are even better. His America, Alone predicted the problems of below-replacement birth rates in Europe, but he didn't go so far as to speculate pro-Islamist Merkels or Obamas would invite the destruction into their countries under the guise of "refugees."

“A speeding truck bomb, and a shared act of courage”

“SAN DIEGO — They had known each other only a few minutes, but they will be linked forever in what Marine brass say is one of the most extraordinary acts of courage and sacrifice in the Iraq war.

Cpl. Jonathan Yale, 21, grew up poor in rural Virginia. He had joined the Marine Corps to put structure in his life and to help support his mother and sister. He was within a few days of heading home.

Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter, 19, was from a comfortably middle-class suburb on Long Island. As a boy, he had worn military garb, and he had felt the pull of adventure and patriotism. He had just arrived in Iraq.

On April 22, the two were assigned to guard the main gate to Joint Security Station Nasser in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, once an insurgent stronghold and still a dangerous region. Dozens of Marines and Iraqi police lived at the compound, and some were still sleeping after all-night patrols when Yale and Haerter reported for duty that warm, sultry morning.”

Hate to tell you, but your neck of the woods isn't as special as you think. The only difference I see that in my neck I would add Kalashnikov to your list.

What about telling Muzzies they have a choice; convert to Christianity. Pay the tax. Or die. No new mosques. No repairs to existing mosques. No proselytizing islam. Take Constantinople and Mecca. They will come for them. Be ready.

Probably a boycott of everything from the West Bank.This shows what submissive pukes the Europeans are. Submission to Islam...is a sickness and now we see it can get hundreds killed in Paris on European soil. Karmic blowback for the ways they have harassed Israel for years in order to display their liberal-lefty-socialist peacock plumage. F'n morons!

As far as the eternal Islamic Jihad that the Jews of Israel have had to contend with....the shoe is on the other foot now.
