#1 The perfect example of PC literally killing us.

#2 I dont know id say PC - according the article they didnt ignore the mosque out of cultural sensitivity to Muslims in general - they did so out of deference to KSA. Not so much PCness as old fashioned foreign policy misjudgement - mistaking an enemy for a friend.

#3 Wasn't there a report not too long ago that the French had deliberately fed Aznar false information about Basque involvement in the 3/11 boom in order to discredit him before the election?

#4 Or if not mistaking an enemy for a friend, recognizing an enemy who has you by the short hairs. Blood for Oil indeed

#5 Until now the West in general — and Spain as part of it — closed its eyes to what Wahabism means as a rigorous doctrine that violates human rights.
I think we at Rantburg saw that a long time ago. Personally, I'd like to see this story:
God: Muslim Religion Linked to Terrorism, Evil.
In a recent rare appearance, God, the Creator of the Universe, made the people of His Creation aware of the dangers of terrorism, in particular the strain that comes from Islam, one of the six major religions dedicated to worshipping the Almighty. He noted with extreme dismay the failure of His children to stand firm in the face of what He termed "the obvious manipulation of Satan," and highly recommended that Muslims begin to rethink their religion. "Or else I might just be forced to bombard you with lightning bolts," He went on to threaten . . .

#6 Way good Mr. Doctor.

I'm tempted to Pagemaker that into a front page NYT article.

#7 and nu, You can come down for that, but You couldnt make some time to come down and have a talk with the Germans 65 years ago?

#8 *Grins*.
Shipman, if you'd like to do that, I'd be happy to write a bit of a longer piece; there's a lot more that can go in there.

LH, I think it's because 65 years ago we had other men teaching them a lesson. There are a lot more today who seem to be saying that telling them that what they're doing is wrong, and, well, Someone needs to do it!

Too late for my great grandpa - and the relatives of a lot of others whod ask the same question I did.


I have an idea - lets not think too much about lightning bolts, or G-d. Lets roll up and fight islamofascism - and lets include on our side Christians, Jews, atheists, and those who call themselves muslims but are willing to fight islamofascism.

#10 roll up - our sleeves, of course.

and think about G-d all you wish in other contexts of course - far be it from me to discourage prayer, theology, or similar activities - but this is war.

#11 No disrespect is meant, LH. Quite the opposite, in fact, since they weren't afraid to put their lives on the line for what they believed in (which, from what I can tell, is far more than a lot of these lefties are willing to do). We have a lot of brave men and women doing that today, but I sometimes fear that their effort is diluted by the media and the very vocal and vacant-brained left. And I've had more than a couple relatives serve in the military myself, and my grandfather actually met my grandmother on a Florida base (I *think* he was recovering from an injury, but it's been a few years since I heard the stories). It was just a little bit of satire - remember that humor is apparently unIslamic. I'm with you on the rolling up your sleeves and fighting, but I like to try and do it with a grin on my face (it infuriates the enemy).
