The Roman Empire thought the same thing, as did Nazism, the Japanese, etc, etc. Besides, Islam has never spread through intellectual means, but through subjugation. It can and will happen again if the West does not wake up.Could you have imagined 20 years ago that there would be rioting over cartoons and murdering of film makers in Europe over "insulting" Mohammad? Of course not. But it is happening, and like the proverbial frog in the boiling water, it has caught many a European off guard. Hopefully it is not too late.

The situation here in Germany was not very different in 1986 to the situation today. The number of our muslim populace was nearly the same. We already had large Kurdish demonstrations in Germany at that time. When a Dutch entertainer (Rudi Carell) made some jokes about Khomeini (his picture was shown in a mountain of sexy underwear - very funny) we had quite simular reactions from the Iranians. They demonstrated in front of our embassy and threatened Carell.
