Bravo! Bravo! Il sig. Calderoli, mostrate il coraggio grande. Tutti li applaudiamo. This announcement from a member of the Italian government is grand to see. Especially because Italy is hosting the Winter Olympics. But it may be just because he is the minister in charge of reforms. What would happen in the U.S. if a high level official wore that type of t-shirt? The MSM would be outraged. I will be watching the news from Italy. Hope to find a photo of Calderoli and post it later today.

"About 200 protesters stormed the KFC restaurant and set it ablaze"

Imagine the grease fire....

Too bad the politicians in the U.S. don't have the "parts" this guy has. Its about time somebody stands up and declares a new crusade.

"'It is time to put an end to this tale that we need dialogue with these people,' he added."

D@mn straight!

About time SOMEone said it!

[russesjunjee]

A brave brave man...the religion of peace will of course issue a fatwa against him immediately.

"It is time to put an end to this tale that we need dialogue with these people," he added.

This is the whole story in a nutshell.

Perhaps we could show solidarity and ask to buy some from him or from whereever he's having them made.

I would certainly buy a few and hand them out to my friends as well as were one too.

The front of that t-shirt will make a nice target. Might as well put a red "X" on it. I hope he wears some body armor underneath.

When he walks, you can actually hear "Stormy Weather".

We had better not accuse the muslims for being violent, or else, they might become, er, violent? Hmmmmm.

[rivercat]

I think we should commission Robert Smigel to create a cartoon series featuring Mohammed. We could air it on Al Jazeera. The middle east would implode.

It is really silly what those Muslims were doing in Europe (especially). They just made 100% certain that the average European (at least the ones who were still oblivious) became aware of the 'Islamic problem' within their midst. And when you see ultra-tolerant societies like the Netherlands and Denmark start waking up to Islam, and even nations like France saying they will slam down on immigration from Islamic nations (I loved the way they termed it as 'unqualified immigration'). What these muslims did is basically make the Europeans realize that just because they were tolerant towards the muslims did not guarantee that the muslims would be tolerant toward them.

To be honest with you these muslims did everyone a favor. They made even those unwilling to wake up HAVE TO wake up (to be honest the only people left with their heads in the sand is the American MSM ....everywhere else, from Australia to most of Europe people have realized just what unrestrained Muslim entry means). These 'rioters' (LOL) actually did everyone a favor.

Appreciate your large cojones, Mr. Calderoli. If we produce enough rage in these idiots, maybe they will kill each other off and the problem will be solved.

IMHO, the Muslims are a bunch of wackos still stuck in the 7th century with a mindset to match. The concept of tolerance is completely lost on them. They are still fighting the crusades. Unfortunately, they are using 21st century toys.

"..everywhere else, from Australia to most of Europe people have realized just what unrestrained Muslim entry means). These 'rioters' (LOL) actually did everyone a favor."

I agree. It was the "French Roast" that woke everyone up. I prefer Mocha Lava Java myself but whatever works.

MMMWUAHAHAAA! Now we can watch the barbarians protest by destroying their economy even more.

If we take into account all the fatwa's that have been issued since Komeyni took power in Iran we can says that everybody in the West as been issued several directly or indirectly
Here we have a saying about the taxes
"Too much taxes kill the taxes" meaning you can only tax people so much
To paraphrase
" TOO MUCH FATWA KILL THE FATWA

"It is time to put an end to this tale that we need dialogue with these people," he added.

Hear, hear!

"It is time to put an end to this tale that we need dialogue with these people."



It's also time to put an end to the word "dialogue"!!
