Thanks!! I've bumped it. I think Dalrymple is a superb writer and observer.

PARIS, Dec. 7 — Political leaders and police investigators across Europe have concluded that the threat of terrorism from Al Qaeda and other radical Islamic groups is more serious than they had earlier assumed and may take years to neutralize.

I'd say this qualifies for the Homer Simpson D'Oh! award.

Thanks for the heads up!

Isn't abortion a government/legal issue as opposed to a religious issue? Doesn't Christianity and Judaism forbid abortion, just as Islam does? I thought that the reason abortion is not prevelant in Islamic countries is because the government is ruled by religious leaders, as opposed to that in western countries, which are not strictly tied to religious beliefs. What is communist China's stand on abortion?

How about a master list if possible of all Mosques in the United States that are based primarily on or are run by mullah adherents to WAHABI ISLAMISM?

That would be good for starts.

Thanks for your post!

I imagine the NSA, CIA or FBI already have that information. Hopefully they have coverts in attendance to gain intelligence and bring them down when the time is right.

The scalpel of the abortionist is the sword of Islam.

Wow! Your tongue is as sharp as that scalpel......LOL!

Hey, America still has not closed down its borders yet, either.

Good point. Got me there.

The question is why did the Europeans let this islamic terrorist network establish itself in their countries?

Never attribute a suicidal action by a leftist to planning when simple stupidity and willful blindness work as an explanation.

They didn't want to know about the threat. So they didn't.

[WileyC]

C'est impossible!! They are Frenchmen, surely, not terroristes!!

Heh. As has been said before, the French really, really, reallly need their own Sept. 11th before they'll wake up.

The scalpel of the abortionist is the sword of Islam.

Well said, sir. That should be Quote of the Year.

To quote Spengler, "A nation that thinks economically does not think." Capitalism is often called creative destruction and I beginning to think that America is just receiving the destruction part.

[headsonpikes]

The French have been getting wake-up calls since at least 1870. ;^)

They are simply too vain to give weight to the actions and intents of others, evidently.

It looks like war-by-proxy; good guys of supreme deity vs. bad guys of the usuper opposition. It is better to absorb and mutate islam rather than allow one square inch of North American to be ruined by WMD. Increased propaganda and pressure to cut off the oxygen of Islam (currency, pederasty, blind-faith and obediance) is the starting poooint - not the end.
