..they have reaped what they sowed...

Is there a link?
You make an excellent point. Too many people see current trends, and assume they will continue uninterupted. This is frequently wrong. We will have to wait and see.
The Spanish were hardly blameless in historical pogroms against the Jews. Nevertheless, at least they've seen the error of their ways. Islam, on the other hand, continues its headlong slide toward barbarism.
This appeared in a newspaper in SPAIN? I don't believe it, but I hope it's true (that it was published, that is) Perhaps it was a Spanish version of an obscure tabloid, because I can't picture the general Spanish media publishing such an un-PC piece.

Actually Spain did not recognize Israel until 1986. It only took 40 years.
Right, how else is Europe going to alter this trend?
Conversion? they don't have it in them.
Except that by the time the violent reaction takes place, military-age Muslims will outnumber military-age "reaction Joe's" by about 2-to-1. Won't need a crystal ball for that one.
America's going to need to be ready to accept the remaining "reaction Joe's" as political refugees. Might serve to stiffen resolve here.
I'd go so far as to say that Europe would have to be converted back to Christianity before THAT could even be attempted.

Thank you.
Now,now...let's not generalize or stereotype here...it's more like 19.9 million.
This is just another example of why we should continue to fight these people in their backyard...yesterday Afghanistan, today Iraq, tomorrow Syria and Iran.
The Euros are banking on their Muslims becoming secularlized due to the "civilizing" influence of being immersed in Euro culture. Iow, they have not the slightest clue what makes Islamics tick.
I did not get a hypertext link. I think Jim received it in email form ...

I remember reading this article back in September on different message boards. I like it then just as much as I like it now but I could never find the original link to the writer's article.
*Ping*
Not just the Holocaust but also Soviet pograms created boatloads of European Jewish refugees with no place to go. This was the historical imperative that created Israel. Europe has continued to persecute its Jews by consistently taking the side of Palestinians since 1949. Nice people?
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
