#1 I'm going to meet Spengler later this month. There a couple of things I would like to ask him. This column is now number one.

Why does he think that European's adapted easily over 2 centuries? Those weren't real smooth and easy from what I was taught. Why were the Muslims so slow to catch on? After they were removed from Spain and the Gates of Vienna they were pretty much on a downward spiral. They saw their own demise and that of Europe's many major conflagrations why didn't they learn?

#2 But it is equally clear that the Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest in Garland, Tex., was not really about free speech. It was an exercise in bigotry and hatred posing as a blow for freedom.

Has the NYTs forgotten the images of falling burning towers in NY, people jumping from the buildings, the attack on the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. This is to say nothing of all the other terrorism and murder committed in the name of the Prophet and Islam over the past half century. I don't have a problem with Geller stirring the pot occasionally. The politicos in D.C. seem to work hard at denying that a problem exists.

#3 Does anyone think these two 'noble savages' of Islam would not have eventually struck elsewhere, and possibly with greater success and higher casualties ?

Geller and the Garland PD did society a favour. The investigative, social network spin-off may be very beneficial as well. Be thankful for it, be very thankful.
