Steyn ping!

[CondorFlight]

Absolutely on target, as usual!

Another Mark Steyn Home Run! Treat the war on terror like a criminal prosecution and we get years of chalk lines around bodies and filling out insurance forms. Not realizing Jihad is here will someday find us dead or on our knees praying to Mecca.

But honestly, what a pathetic example of pointless gesture politics: if you’re a fancypants North American business traveller in town for less than 24 hours and splashing a ton of hard currency around the West End, the Home Office goes through a big hoop-de-doo about saying you’ve no entitlement to welfare. But if you’re a Somali and you want to live in public housing at public expense for six years while you fine-tune your plot to blow up Warren Street Tube station, pas de problème!

Steyn on target.

What would be odd is that he would be off target.

Excellent article!

And this was one of the best parts!

Thank you so much.

The last paragraph gave my goosebumps chills. Liberals - unfortunately including Blair - are not realistic in facing the fact that this is a war with an enemy, not a crime family dealing drugs.

One reason they cannot accept that reality is it means one awful confrontation for them and their hand held mirrors. They are no longer young, wallowing in the sixties of peace, love and rock & roll haze. It is time to grow up and face reality.

Great article. The West doesn't yet realize, or care, that this is a fight to the death.

That’s not an option here. Madrid and London — along with other events such as the murder of Theo Van Gogh — are, in essence, the opening shots of a European civil war. You can laugh at that if you wish, but the Islamists’ most often-stated goal is not infidel withdrawal from Iraq but the re-establishment of a Muslim caliphate living under Sharia that extends to Europe; and there’s a lot to be said for taking these chaps at their word and then seeing whether their behaviour is consistent.

Wake up Europe! How many civilians have to be murdered before the Islama-whackos are taken seriously????

Thanks Pokey!

Bump!

<< Steyn ping! >>

Root causes of terrorism, indeed!

And, least we get too darned smug, FRom where I am sitting Mr Bush's criminal-migrant, TSA and border irresponsibilities don't look too damned flash, too!

Islamakazi self-detonate(r) Right catchy, I'd say. Steyn is consistent quality and a good time.

This article, brilliant as it was, would have been worth the whole read just for one word: Islamakazi
