Spanish villages are abandoning the centuries-old tradition of burning effigies of the Prophet Muhammad for fear of offending Muslims.
The annual festivals...feature locals donning medieval costumes to re-enact battles between "Moors and Christians" during the Reconquista period.
The fiestas celebrate events in 1492, when the Catholic kings of northern Spain defeated and expelled Islamic forces, ending more than 800 years of Moorish rule in the Iberian Peninsula.
Traditionally the festivities have culminated with the burning of mannequins of the Mahoma, a figure based on the Prophet Muhammad, to represent the final defeat of Islam in the region.

Meanwhile, the jihadis burn the Pope in effigy with nary a worry of offending western civilizations.
Screw this multi-culti "we might offend the terrorists" bullcrap.

Tolerance is a Western ideal, and the Islamists hate Western ideals.
Islam doesn't seek multiculturalism.
Their goal is monoculturalism: one world under Islam.
They are not at war for tolerance, but at war with tolerance.

You know, I am getting so f**king tired of hearing the phrase "for fear of offending Muslims."
But we will have to make sure that Frankistan does not control the nukes and technology that France now does!
This is the new world problem. The worst possible situation happening with Israel is not that Israel is destroyed and blows up a bunch of arab and persian cities, but that Israel is destroyed and the arabs come into control of Israel's arsenal.
In the modern world, countries that build up certain capacities become even more important to defend. It's unfortunate, but we're going to have to end up saving a bunch of these ungrateful countries, again. I just hope that this period of time, and the unwillingness to help us with the war that these countries displayed.

Any countries with nukes or trying to get them is a risk for all of us. For instance, Pakistan, which could easily be taken over by Jihadists. Great, and no one stopping Iran from getting a nuke. And mark my words, if that tinpot head of Venezuela, Chavez stays in power, he will probably start working on getting nukes too.
Absolutely. It's a shame that this angle of the threat of such weapons has not been introduced into our political discourse - especially since we all got off very, very lucky in the quiet way that the USSR broke up!
