Here's an outrage for you and your list.

How long, before we really fight back?

"the authorities fear that the expressive image could attract the anger of the Arab world in a period of high tension,” "

I think the Spaniards are going to be busy for a while if this is how far they're going to take things.

Next we're going to hear that the statue was dragged out, had a spike put through it's head, a shovel in it's chest and was set on fire...

Appeasment doesn't work with the Mohammedan thugs. Showing them weakness just gives them more strength...

When the Moors return, they will destroy the rest of the Churches. So I guess this is just making their work a little easier.

Don't laugh.

Coming soon to a city near you.

It has already started -- allowing the Islamifying with the daily Islam prayer call.

"Next month, Hamtramck [MI] will become one of the few cities in the United States where the Islamic call to prayer is broadcast onto public streets. The impact of that decision is reverberating across the nation."

Someone should get ahold of that old film "El Cid" and beam it directly into the middle east 24/7.

Better yet, get Chuck Heston to lead the next crusade. Just make sure we call it that specifically.....CRUSADE.

Hey if they're offended......why not go all the way and completely piss them off?

“Santiago y cierra Espana! St James, we will reconquer Spain!”

That was the beginning of the Reconquest. It took the Moors 7 years to conquer most of Spain in the 8th century. 7 centuries later the Christians booted out the last of the Muslims in 1492.
