Or as Charles Johnson, whose excellent "Little Green Footballs" Web site turns up dozens of fascinating Islamic tidbits every day, suggested: "Maybe we should start a betting pool: Which European country will be the first to institute shari'a?"I seem to remember a thread being posted a while back that linked to this site.
It was subsequently deleted.Do any of you recall this?
Not offhand. If anything comes to mind I'll let you know.
In the meantime, from your link, this little tidbit caught my eye......
Farrakhan Mouths Off Again |
Fresh from his whirlwind tour of the worlds totalitarian hellholes, during which he smooched the powerful butts of Saddam Hussein and Robert Mugabe, Screwy Louie is in Atlanta, ostensibly to support Cynthia bin McKinney.
"The president of the country seems to be drunk," he said Sunday at the Hillside Chapel & Truth Center on Cascade Road in Atlanta. "He seems to be drunk with the power. This is a greatest country on Earth and the greatest country in the history of the world, but if she is not careful, she will go the way of Rome."
The Nation of Islam leader has virulently criticized American policies in the Islamic world, from the war in Afghanistan to heavy support of Israel. He condemned all violence in both his sermon and an interview with the Journal-Constitution, but he warned that Bush's policies -- especially any war with Iraq -- would alienate the country from the Muslim world and Europe.
Americans should see Palestinians blowing themselves up to kill Israelis as a sign of Israeli oppression, he said, which he characterized as a political, and not religious, issue.
"America is hated now," Farrakhan said. "We need to sit down at the table and dialogue and not slaughter each other."
He condemned all violence, BUT Palestinian suicide bombers are a sign of Israeli oppression. See, thats not really violence. Anything that kills Jews is fine by Lewis Judaism is a Gutter Religion Farrakhan.
Is this guy a charter member of the NEA?
Sadly, he's right, but not for the reasons he thinks. Rome fell for many reasons, not the least of which included distraction and "wussification" of the population, factionalism, awful leadership, and loss of identity to the immigration policies of empire. This latter issue came about because of slave labor and mercenary armies. There is, alas, an analogy to today's poor absorpion of minimally acculturated wage slaves.
Listening to Louie--following his suggested policies--would increase the certainty of the fall occuring and its rapidity. He would plunder the productive for the temporary gains of his chosen group, as is current practice in much of the post-colonial world.
