Long live Charles Martel!

Wow, that's a reference you don't hear that often. I've long considered Tours to be the most significant turning event in western culture. Most folks don't even know what it is. Just imagine what the world would be like without the hammer.

Yes, it is a reference that needs to made more often. One of the most important battles (if not the most important battle) in the last two thousand years. It is also more proof that islam has been violent since its invention.
