I suddenly have newfound respect for the French and Germans.
I must be imagining things - this cannot be, Europeans standing up to Muslims.
They've finally come around to the fact that extremist hate is growing like a cancer in their countries. They don't want to comdemn it the same way that Bush did because they consider such 'line in the sand' actions to be boorishly American. But if you have a keen eye, you will notice the slow and steady steps they are taking to ensure that a party like Hamas does not gain a foothold in their governments.
The last time they fought the Muslims in Europe, it was from 711 with their invasion of Spain until the Turks were defeated at Vienna in 1683. Now the Muslims are inside the gates!
