I think I'm ill. These people are entirely demented. Why are we not standing with Europe on this? We should be able to make common cause finally. Defend the values of the West and free speech etc.. This is basic to our civilization, not liberal or conservative. If we can't stand against barbarians threatening to kill us over cartoons I don't know what it will take...

We can't stand with Europe because they won't stand themselves.

There is no reason for Britain to take even five minutes of this. But they will. Not one of the protestors shown was deported, and that's the problem. If I was in charge, the whole lot would be given one-way tickets back to Pakistan or whatever stan they're from.

We can't stand with Europe until they're ready to stand up to these murderers/threateners themselves. If they don't do so soon, there will be no Europe to stand up with, I'm afraid.

In fact, on one of the other forums in which I post, we had the Leftists actually agreeing with the Evangelicals about this.

It's time for Europe to stand up for themselves.

Europe has allowed this situation to develop and fester.

I'm not saying that we should not or would not help in a dire emergency, but it's Europe's responsibility to start cleaning up it's mess.

You have it. . .in a nutshell, so to speak. . .'Being civilized'. . .reaches a point of diminishing returns.

I believe 'the good' of our response to these people has maxed. . .'we do'. . .or else. . . they do. . .
