#1 Not only is it not a good time to be an Arab in Spain, it's not a good time to be an Arab anywhere in the Western world; and it's going to get worse with each jihadi attack.

All Muslims in the Western world need to make one very fundamental change if they are to continue being tolerated: they must elevate their committment to respecting other peoples' rights to their own beliefs above their own committment to the veracity of Muhammed's teachings.

That's a real leap for them; it's going to be an extraordinarily difficult thing for them to do, and I'm not too confident they're up to the task.

But they'd damn well better do it, just like the rest of us have done with one another, or they're history.

#2 In January, the Detroit Free Press published an article on the contempt held by the local Arab community for an Arab enlistee in the war on terror. To me, the young man is a hero. Yet American Arabs treat him as a villian. So who are their heros? I learned to support, retroactively, the WW2 policy of interning Japanese residents (only 20% were citizens) in America during WW2. That can happen again, notwithstanding the compensation payback that the Carterites made to greedy Japs. We need disloyal neighbors, like my dog needs fleas.

#3 Is Islam so fragile that it cannot possibly exist surrounded by people who believe otherwise?

What is it that Muslims fear that can coax them to acts of violence against innocent bystanders?

#4 Beware illegal Moslem immigrants of Europe. Soon you will not be allowed to wear hankies on your head to school anywhere on the continent. What a crackdown.

#5 "Is Islam so fragile that it cannot possibly exist surrounded by people who believe otherwise?"

In a sense, this hits the ol' nail right square on the head: it apparently thinks it's that fragile.

When I consider this "Allah" the Muslims worship, what I see is an immature, petulant, insecure god who cannot bear the thought of anyone not believing in him; a god who cannot abide human indifference and who craves attention; a god who feels compelled to stamp out all other gods, lest they diminish him.

The other major world religions have grown up. They have matured over the years, and become tolerant of people who believe differently.

But not Islam, which has progressed little since the Middle Ages. Islam has got a LOT of catching up to do- and time is running out.

#6 If they carry on the way there going, Islam will be banned in a few centuries or even decades, this 'religion of peace is just getting more and more like a fuckin death cult by the day.Islam is like something from the dark fuckin ages or even before.If i had my way it'd be banned tommorow,no right now.Hindus,Christians,Jews etc i have no problem with though, something about the way you can trust them and they don't maim and kill kids in the name of allen, sorry allah

#8 Drag that out and start sawing away at it, and we won't be able to hear all the other sounds of sympathy. Use the femto-violin, instead.

#9 Actually, if read literally, the Koran is a book of hate speech and should be banned.

#10 No - this is a great time to be a muslim in Spain. Spain just voted for dhimmitude. All hail the re-reconquista!

#11 Oh boo efing hoo!
This is always the first thing Muslims care about, their own selves and their 'image'.
Where's the muslim protests for modern day slave raids done in Islams name, or the myriad of terrorists attacks around the world done by their brethren?
You wont see that happening, well, unless they read this and figure they better spiffy up their 'image'.(Of the beast)
But boy oh boy will they pull out the droves around the world to protest a head scarf ban at schools in France.
Thank you France for that at least, showing what a bunch of hypocritical supremacists muslims are.
They should be thanking their lucky stars that that the infidels dont behave like they do.
But I bet the reaction will be instead for the Spanish CAIR to start asking the government to make everybody in Spain take sensitivity training. And play the call to prayer throughout Madrid as a show of unity, or some other assorted BS like that.
You can rest assured that muslims will once again be the REAL victims, just wait, it will get worse.
How long before muslims in Spain start bitching about the detainees who carried out the bombings civil rights? Place your bets.
(civil rights including halal means, a quran, and no humiliation of course)

#12 Sounds like they reached the "why do they hate us" phase a helluva lot sooner then I thought they would. They'll live to regret that. If they're lucky.

#13 The other major world religions have grown up. They have matured over the years, and become tolerant of people who believe differently. But not Islam, which has progressed little since the Middle Ages. Islam has got a LOT of catching up to do- and time is running out.
Unfortunately, the nature of Islam itself prevents it from ever changing. Any change, any acceptance of other points of view, is heresy, punishable by death. Once a Muslim, always a Muslim, or dead. Since those are the only two choices, I suggest "DEAD".

I've spent far too much time studying Islam since 9/11, and nothing I've learned makes me any more willing to accept it as a religion of the "one true God". It is nothing but an excuse cult. Islam excuses Muslims from obeying ANY of the 10 commandments. Don't believe me? Read the $#%@$#@ Quran. It's ok to kill. It's ok to lie, cheat, steal, murder, rape, and do anything else you want, as long as it's not to "fellow Muslims" - and oh, BTW, it's ok to do it to them, if they don't believe the way you do. What a piece of unspewed fecal matter. It's time to treat Islam as the asshole cult it is, and destroy the whole damned thing.

I said once before on this site, Islam will be the source of the AntiChrist. Nothing in the past two years since I first said that has changed my mind. We need to fumigate the planet - there's a deadly illness out there, called Islam.
