Interesting to see a swastika on, what looks like a cartoon of Bush. Coming from the people that want to see all Jews die.

Hey, come on everyone, islam is the religion of peace. All those poor people are just trying to keep warm by burning that stuff. If we would only give some more money they could afford a fireplace.

Thank you for putting together this collection of pictures!

In Millau, proterrorist radical Frenchman and farmer Jose Bove, normally serving Arafat, walks out of a courthouse for ransacking a McDonald's restaurant in one of his outbursts against the United States.

If this guy is a farmer then I am Shaquille O'Neal. LOL!

Away in Christs manger

with my ak 47

I shoot at the jews

to get my 72 virgins in heaven

Im here with christian captives

they are our friends

cause the Pope has a deal with us

when this all ends

I burn an American flag

I want to kill them

but the Euros and Powell

are my friends

The stars in the sky look down where he lay

the little bellringer

we got shot here today

I like my surroundings

but don't like this cross

if we don't get it blown to hell

it should be a mosque....

These losers are lucky I'm not in charge of anything.

Good post, good pictures, but bad news.

How do you get these pictures?

In Rome, although the Church supports the Palestinian terrorists (who have taken
Christians hostages) and ignores widespread European arson and violence against Jews,
other Italians show support of Israel


There are reasons for Italy looking like one of the sanest countries in Europe
(and the world, for that matter).

Conservative Jewish commentator Dennis Prager outlined his opinion on why so many
"European" countries are siding with the Palestinians.
I'll sum up the premise in my words: "They have been infiltrated".
Belgim is now 10% Muslim.
The U.K. is now 7% Muslim.
(IIRC) France is now 4% Muslim.
As Prager put it, probably the one religion actually followed "religiously" in Western Europe
IS ISLAM.

Conversely, Prager noted that Italy has a much lower percentage of Muslims
(sorry, can't remember the number).

The "infiltrated" countries have politicians that:
1. don't want to antagonize large numbers of potential voters and
2. don't want to have to stop huge riots/firebombings of synagogues, etc.

Thus, most of Europe is impotent in standing for what they actually know is right.
And they join the calls for Israel to commit suicide at the hands of Arafat, Hamas,
Hezbollah, and all the assassins on their payrolls.

I'm just praying that the USA won't be a "Muslim" country in a few years.
Once the Muslims start to get over about 3 or 4 percent of the population...
it IS a Muslim country.

Why don't they burn a Palestinian made car? Oh, that's right. They can't make cars. They can only make bombs to blow up cars that other people make.

LOL!!!

Thanks for the thread! As always it is a great perspective that can be seen nowhere else.

P.S. - I saw the Afghans playing cricket, have you seen any pictures of Americans or other westerners playing Buzkashi?

Muslim/Palestinian terrorists -- what's up with these losers?

They hate "The West", they hate Christianity, they regard anyone of Christian or European
lineage as the mongrel off-spring of The Crusaders, so where do they go when they are in trouble?

Into a Christian church, demanding sanctuary.
What a hypocritical bunch of cowards.

I toast the IDF.
And if they have to blast the Church to extract those maggots, they should be absolved
and given medals.

The building of the Church is just a building, it can always be rebuilt.
It's not every day that murderers of women and children can be brought to justice.

At the same time, I can see the start of a good Saturday Night Live show:
Palestinian Terrorist (waving M-16 in priest's face):
"Gee, I've walked by your church a thousand times, even lynched an accquaintance
that maybe collaborated with the Israelis right out here in Manger Square...but I've
never made the time to come in and visit your beautiful old church.
Is this a bad time for me and my (approx. 200) friends to visit?"
