Three years ago, Spain's national police stormed the apartment of Jamal Zougam, a 30-year-old Moroccan immigrant who ran a cellphone business in Madrid. Among items they seized: phone numbers for suspected terrorists, a video of Islamic warriors fighting Russian troops near Chechnya, and four books in Arabic on aspects of jihad, such as how to treat prisoners of war.

Get your tinfoil hat!! He became radicalized when he started selling cellphones! It was the "hozzis" rays! Or was it success??? anyway, he graduates from the honorable Islamic state of fruitseller in the souk to corrupt western cellphone dealer and turns into a radical? Nahh. Something doesn't add up.

The Islamos sure are a rational bunch aren't they?:

Step 1 -- Move out impoverished hell-hole to new country

Step 2 -- Achieve prosperity by starting a business.

Step 3 -- Blow up new country.

That's why we ought to have a law -- if you want to become an American/Euro citizen you must become Christian. Saudi A says that to be a citizen you must be a slammmie, well we say that to be a citizen you must be Christian or Jewish or Hindu or anything except slammmie. Hey, you could even worship Caesar Augustus for all I care, just not the moon demon.
