You can see the same work going on in Austrian churches presently on fire.

Coming soon here if Obama green lights it.

When they take over here, they’ll tear down
all the shrines to Elvis too.
Now that is going too far!

Ah, yes, the “religion of pieces.”

Mali was once French. Where is the Foreign Legion? Oh, I forgot, another red is running the country, right into the ground under another white flag of surrender.

Depardieu knew what he was doing when he left. Thank God the two strong women of the French film industry, Bridget Bardot and Catherine Deneuve, had the guts to speak up in his defense.

No, they’ll just sanitize history. And claim that Elvis was always a muslim.

Other than weapons and hovels, have these people actually built anything recently (i.e., in the last 400 years)?

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that a few rare individuals have contributed something of value to humanity in that time, but I'll be damned if I can cite you a single instance.

Actually, they never built any of their weapons either. They got them from subordinate humans.

I don’t care which country does it. Or even if it is a country that does it. ;-)

Islam destroys anything good that it touches.

It even tries to obliterate history.

As long as Obama is in that office, it will be a similar scenario, however, never Mecca.... it will be Israel.

Ask his army, the MB/ AlQ, and all the other muslim groups. Greater probability is him allowing the release of Iranian nuclear weapons here in America.

That's why I said 'sooner or later.' I really wasn't suggesting that anyone should do it. I was merely observing that eventually someone will come to their senses and would do it.

Its a lovely thought. Soooo lovely.

I think something more effective would be to make sure the internet is open keyed to all the repressive governments seeking to take control of the net via the UN.

Once the peeple see and better understand the west, gain some knowledge, and understand how the outside functions, their leaders will have one helluva problem.

Imagine the world of Islam understanding the culture of democracy! Just... imagine.

Islam is a war plan.
