Thanks for the report. Understanding comes from knowinf and you have helped with the knowing.
teezle, you seem to be an intelligent guy. So don't buy into the Michael-Moore-ish leftist propaganda rubbish that President Bush is 'simple' and 'doesn't like complexity.'
The Left calls Bush 'simple-minded' because he sees a difference between good and evil. For the Left, this is anathema. In their relativistic world, everything must be a shade of gray; to believe otherwise is 'stupid.'
But our president is neither simple, nor stupid. (If IQ means anything to you, Bush's military records show that his IQ is a highly respectable 125+, higher than John Kerry's.)
Indeed, our president has just shown the world that he understands the 'complexity' of our nation's electorate, far better than all the pollsters, pundits, and prognosticators of the world.
Yes, the yardstick for immigration ought to be table manners. Any culture which eats with their bare hands off the floor should be banned. We only want quality people.
I forgot to mention in my story about the martyr letter the guy had in his pocket.
When he left Theo van Gogh he fled into a park. There the police found him which resulted in a salvo of bullets against the police. They shot him in the leg and arrested him.
His letter said something like: Here I am, drowned in blood... Paradise bla bla bla. He forgot that Dutch police just want to arrest you and not kill you. Now Theo van Gogh is a martyr and he banging his head against the wall in prison...
goats in the corner bump :P

You jogged my memory, angkor! They also poured out onto the streets in vast numbers when Israel invaded Jenin in 2002.
I remember thinking, "THIS is what finally gets them protesting? What about 9/11?"
The whole thing made me sick. No protests that "Suicide bombing is unIslamic!", but plenty of outrage a week later that Israel was retaliating.
According to one article I read 800,000 muslims out of 16 million in The Netherlands and they estimate between 3-5% of the muslims are radical.
This is Dutch/Muslim lie. But do not worry - you also will be accused of anti-Muslim genocide and of running Dutch death/rape camps. Such is the gratitude you can count on.
"[...]I notice that in the Netherlands people want to prove at all costs that genocide has been committed.[...]"
From Hoax in Srebrenica
Chopsticks are far more complicated and elegant eating utensils than the crude knife and fork.
Irrelevant aside: the Thais don't use chopsticks, only a fork and spoon. But don't get it backwards, they'll laugh at you. The spoon is used for eating, while the fork is used to push items off of the plate and onto the spoon. You can use the fork for your pad thai.
My take on the Muslim silence is that they are smart enough to know that we would smell their insincerity a mile away. Why break a sweat organizing phony demonstrations of unity when they don't believe it and we know they don't believe it and they know that we know that they don't believe it.
The Europeans on the other hand lap that s***t up. It amuses the Muslims to see the Euros deluding themselves into believing that a round Kumbia will fix everything, nice and tidy. They laugh about the Euros at the dinner table.
If you ever go to Paris, do not: 1) take the train into the Gare Nord from DeGaulle Airport; 2) get off at the Les Halles metro stop; 3) be in the Metro after closing at 12:30 pm. All of these locales are plagued by angry young Muslims looking for, and often causing trouble.
It is working well, I think. I believe there would have been many more suicide bombings if not for that.
You see, the families of suicide bombers receive large amounts of money as a reward (though a lot less money than they used to get, now that Saddam Hussein is no longer in charge). The Israelis have to make sure that the bounty-money is made worthless, so that fewer Palestinian teenaged barbarians decide to kill themselves to benefit their families.
Now they're reduced to recruiting young children and pregnant unmarried women. One group is easy to fool, and the other has nothing to lose since her family will kill her themselves before her pregnancy starts to show.
So I'd say it's been effective.
why yes it was the US fault not the fact that Theo dared to insult islam,,,its the US fault for muslims slaughtering in the Sudan...its the US fault for muslim slaughter in Thailand, Phillipines, Kashmir, Bali, Nigeria etc.... Stay in Holland and fight it out. We should close all of our borders. Save your own a$$es for a change!!!!!
Especially that Dutch mothers do not let their babies to be born. They prefer Muslims to provide the next generation.
also a lot of moderate Muslims
If they agree with it, they are not really muslims.
Muslims all worship the same god (not mine) and read the same book.
Remember, the koran says it's OK to lie to Islam's enemies.
