Mr. Gary Fouse correctly indicated that Europeans need to muster the courage to combat the Islamization of their continent, but they sure have a long way to go.

So fearful are most Europeans of offending Muslims that free speech has been suspended that it is officially a crime in most of Europe to publicly criticize Islam.
