Europe Is Growing Skeptical Of Dialogue With Muslims (excellent article)
The NY Sun ^ | 10/6/2006 | YOUSSEF IBRAHIM

Posted on 10/06/2006 10:53:59 AM PDT by Dark Skies

After years of dithering over political correctness with Muslims and Islam, Europe is waking up to a different morning.

A three-week tour of Italy, France, and Britain last month was enough for me to conclude that Western Europeans have moved way beyond dialogue. Confrontation, indeed even provocation, is their preferred approach to the Muslims in their midst.

Long before Pope Benedict XVI's scathing comments in mid-September on the fallacy of phony Muslim-Christian dialogue, signs of hardening European views toward current Islamic values were plentiful on the Continent

Rumsfeld could go out and announce 60K dead terrorists. He doesn't care about being PC. And Bush would raise a whiskey glass full of pineapple juice if he does it.

Neither do I. 2-3% of the population

What was the precentage of the SA in Germany at the beginning? They were scoffed at too...in the beginning. Campaigns have a tendency to take on a life of their own if not checked before they grow.

Well, if the people of Minn and their visitors have any balls, they'll boycott those cabs. Actually, I would find such a sign helpful whether I had a bottle of hootch with me or not - I would know which cabs not to patronize.

"I fear that just as much as the mozzies taking over - another hitler could just as easily emerge."

That is almost a certainty. If the terrorists ever do unleash a nuclear bomb or even a dirty bomb on a western city, all hell will break loose. Muslims will have to be rounded up and put into camps for their own protection. A new generation of Hitlers will be elected and Muslims all over Europe and the US won't have to fear discrimination, they will have to fear death.

This is why it is important for politicians to say now, very clearly, that it is the Islamic ideology that we are fighting, not just Islamic extremists. If we don't force a confrontation soon, it will be too late and the inevitable confrontation will be much more horrible than we can imagine. Now we can deport Muslims or force them to choose between allegiance to Islam or allegiance to country. After an Islamic atrocity they will hunted down like dogs.

A confrontation is inevitable because Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, but if we wait too late, that confrontation will be bloody instead of peaceful.

France will probably be the worst. We will probably have to try many ethnic French for murder or genocide after the confrontation is over.

Actually, the Muzzies are acting like Hitler in the sense that they are attacking too many: Christians, Budhists, Communists, Hindus, et al. Over-extension due to delusions of grandeur.

Don't be mislead -- read the poem in post #28.

I despise Mulsim cab drivers. I refuse to ride in their filthy cabs. Why help them earn a living?

Why would we try them for taking back their own country?

Yes, and that's not the only way they mimic Hitler. Hitler presented the killing of Jews as a glory to Germany in the same way that the moosies claim that killing infidels is a glory to allah. But to kill a moosie terrorist, be he active or burgeoning, is simply a pragmatic matter of survival. It isn't an act of idealism or zealotry. Draw 'em out, then fill 'em full of lead, and take on all comers.

Great poem. I hope for Britain's sake what was true then is true today. Nations come and go. Even great ones.

I rode with a Pakistani cabbie in Chicago years ago. That was my first, last and only ride with a raghead. I'd never get in with one again. You're right - that cab stunk and he was surly to me for no reason. I didn't tip him.

I met a woman in Paris once who held a fairly important job as the head of an organization, which shall remain nameless. In discussing how French women hate pregnancy and child bearing, she suggested that French women hire Filipinos to bear their children! I couldn't believe my ears.

I agree. Self-defense is not punishable.

A lot of this idea that somehow we have an obligation to allow foreign cultures to invade and inflict their dulture and beliefs on the people of a sovereign nation is a by-product of the One-Worlders, open borders types. George Soros, Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, the UN, UNESCO, the list goes on.

Perhaps it's just as well that the French die out. If they don't want to continue their lines and heritage, fine. But they should not expect their neighbors to accept what they are substituting into their population.

Actually, I only quoted the last three verses -- there is more to the poem (Et Donat Ferentes, I think).

I think that the problem is that you can't refuse them off the bat - you have to wait on the line until the cab comes up, and then say you're carrying alcohol - and do the same with all of them until you get a non-Muzzie cab. Since about 2/3 of the cabbies in MPS are Somalis, chances are you'll be there a long time.

This is just a demonstration of power. It has nothing to do with alcohol; nobody is asking them to drink it, sell it, serve it or even know about it. It's just another way of pushing Americans around.

"Yes, and that's not the only way they mimic Hitler."

You are wrong. Hitler had a direct hand in the Muslim Brotherhood that started in Egypt and worked it's way north during the 1930's. They adopted the Roman Salute from Hitler's Party. It expanded west across North Africa. Patton's job was to destroy an ideology as well as Rommel's tanks. My father was there and saw it in North Africa.

Hitler planted the seeds for the trees that are bearing fruit right now. That is why the term 'Islamic Faschism' is an accurate description.

Yep, and if enough people would boycott them, they'd soon change their tune or find another vocation.
