RE #30

Most of tough troops of Caliphs were Turks. Since the 10the century on, all wars of Mid-East muslims were fought by Turkish slave soldiers. They were neither Arabs nor Persians. The famous defeat of Mongols by muslims was by Mamelukes of Egypt, another group of Turkish slave soldiers settled in Egypt. It was a battle between two groups of steppe nomads from Central Asia. Without the help of Turks, muslim empire would had been gone much earlier.

An all out Jihad is media hype and it would be over in a matter of bombs.

Pretty close. They've attacked Hindu trains in India, Buddhist statues in Afghanistan and Christian churches in Pakistan. They aren't exactly making a lot of allies worldwide.

"middle-Eastern boys and men"

I wouldn't necessarily assume that. The European "peace activists" who were protecting Arafat the other day were mostly not Arabs, and there are plenty of non-Arab anti-semites in Europe.

"what do you have to say now"

Well, Chirac has called for "dialogue," putting these racist thugs on a moral par with their victims. What an a**hole.

"They aren't exaxctly making a lot of allies worldwide."

Oh, I don't know about that. Much of the world seems ready to make excuses for them. As long as Israel and the USA are their sworn enemies, they will have plenty of defenders.

I'm still waiting for you to post some specific examples of the cheering you spoke about.

Or are you just some liberal that bases his facts on hearsay such as "I got the impression that...." or "Somebody told me that they heard...."

Sigh....

[knighthawk]

And now they are at it in Germany too!

[Alas Babylon!]

It's disgusting.

Case in point: Suppose, because I don't like what Mugabe in Zimbabwe is doing to white farmers there, I just go out and burn down a couple of black churches here in Alabama, or take pot shots and any random black person walking down the street. What would that make me? A Racist. A hate criminal. Jessee Jackson, Kwasai Mfume, Al Sharpton and Morris Dees would all be going nuts with outrage. So, one has to wonder, where is there outrage now?

Theses Jews in France are NOT Israelis. They are French. Regardless of what the Israelis do, they can not be blamed simply because they're Jews. For their government to immediately not come to there aid is unforgivable.

Actually French Fries came from Belgium as probably did the French Kiss and French Toast. Remember Belgium waffles.

It is pretty sad to see hatred on the level of neo-nazi skinheads isn't it? What agenda drives such dehumanizing of a people? Not an American one.
