I read a "counterfactual" history/sci fi story a few years ago....I don't remember the ins and outs. The short version is that, at the end of the story, Charles Martel announces that "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet." Creepy, huh?

The irony is that the current population of France is composed of (according to last week's "Economist") 6-7% muslims, largely of North African extraction.

Maybe we should all have a look at "The Song of Roland" to get our spirits up.

Yikes, no Charlemagne, no Western Civ, Renaissance, Columbus, etc...

The battle of Tours (Poiters) truly is one of the most underrated turning points of history.

I read somewhere that Marseilles is 70% muslim and that in some parts of France gang raping of young french girls by muslims is commonplace. I believe they are referred to as "Tournettes".

I also read that a bunch of muslim teenagers beat the tar out of a french kid at school. His dad went down to have a word or two with them and he was STOMPED to death.

Another depressing story, the most popular boys name in Brussells is Mohammed.
