As Americans reaffirmed the war on terror by re-electing George W. Bush, Europe was slapped hard across the face by the murder of Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker and outspoken critic of Islam. Van Gogh, a descendant of the painter, was shot while riding his bicycle to work in Amsterdam. The bullets did not kill van Gogh. He survived long enough to stagger toward his office and plead with his attacker not to kill him — just as Nick Berg, Margaret Hassan, Kenneth Bigley and countless

I wonder if The Left would do the same thing - and realize that their entire life was based on lies...

"There will come a day when one soul will not be able to help another soul. A day of horrible tortures and painful tribulations which will go together with the terrible cries being pressed out of the lungs of the unjust. Cries, Mrs. Hirsi Ali, which will cause chills to run up someone's spine, and cause the hair on their head to stand straight up. ... Hair-raising screams will be squeezed from the lungs of the nonbelievers. I surely know that you, O America, will be destroyed. I surely know that you, O Europe, will be destroyed. I surely know that you, O Holland, will be destroyed."

...with the peace and love of Allah, amen.

Honestly when will the NY Times get it? The sheer stupidity of this statement hurts my head!!
