As you've noted earilier, it's Londonistan all over the world..

I'm reading right now Efraim Karsh's "Islamic Imperialism" -- all these former beliefs of mine have been blown away -- believe it or not, I actually thought that much of the Islamic conquests were *religiously* motivated...what a joke. Instead I've discovered that the imperialists (Arabs) were oftentimes drunk, corrupt, womanizers, racists (practicing a form of apartheid), etc., etc. hmmm....I'm also very annoyed when I recall that Islamists would frequently claim (with reference to Israel) -- "Violence begets violence!!" -- yes, indeed, given Islam's incredibly violent, murderous history (the mutilations, the torture, the treachery, the back-stabbing) who better to know that "violence begets violence!"

This also puts (for me, anyway) the Iraqi "violence" in a wholly new light... this "violence" as they call it --- well, it's nothing new -- it's par for the course -- as if they can blame Americans!! or the outrage about Abu Ghraib !! what jokes!! Torture and Murder and Terror are Islam's modus operandi...including the most cruel torments of whomever they judge to be an "enemy" -- most especially other Muslims...and no wonder they flee to the West!! yet they wish to nonetheless impose their disgusting Islamist system onto us!!
