So says Michael Burleigh in the Times (thanks to William):
AMSTERDAM’S Linnaeusstraat is a bleak place to die. Lined with budget stores and overshadowed by a railway bridge, it is largely populated by Muslim immigrants. On November 3 last year, the film-maker Theo van Gogh halted his bike in the cycle lane. The anti-clerical van Gogh had made many films criticising Christianity and Judaism, as well as Submission, an indictment of Islam’s treatment of women, based on the experiences of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Dutch-Somali MP.Muhammad Bouyeri, a young Moroccan, came alongside Van Gogh. He shot him in the side, propelling van Gogh to the ground. The victim managed to get up, lurching through the traffic. Bouyeri tracked his victim, shooting him twice more before trying to cut his head off with a butcher’s knife. He then rammed a smaller knife into Van Gogh’s chest, with a letter threatening two Dutch politicians slipped over the blade.
Bouyeri ran into a park, where he was captured. He had a poem in his robes, which included the line: “The knights of death are at your heels.” He belonged to a small Islamist radical cell conspiring to blow up Schiphol airport. He is now serving a life sentence for murder. The Dutch reaction to the murder has been ferocious, up to and including banning wearing of the burka.Islamist terrorism is not a phantom product of our nightmares and neuroses, but a real and present danger in the world. There have been devastating attacks in Kenya and Tanzania, 9/11, Bali, at Atocha station in Madrid and the July suicide bombings in London, commemorated this week. At present, Australia is on high alert.
Read it all.

This is not rocket science. The lessons of past and contemporary history have demonstrated that inviting Muslims to reside inside the borders of one's state or nation is cultural and physical suicide.

I can't disagree. The important thing is to start
making things uncomfortable so that mohammadans
leave. The Danish approach has merits, but it needs to be magnified immensely.
There should be koran desecration parties everywhere. Dog poop scooper bags should be
made of koran pages. Pictures of pedophile
criminal mohammad in papers everywhere. That
kind of thing.

This summation of Islam in 1924 says it all:
Islam and the Psychology of the Musulman, authored by Andre Servier, was published in 1924.
"To sum up: the Arab has borrowed everything from other nations, literature, art, science, and even his religious ideas. He has passed it all through the sieve of his own narrow mind, and being incapable of rising to high philosophic conceptions, he has dis-torted, mutilated and desiccated everything. This destructive influence explains the decadence of Musulman nations and their powerlessness to break away from barbarism; it equally explains the difficulties that confront the French.
Finally, a simple creature, not far from primitive animality-a barbarian. Such is the man who has conceived Islam and who by the strength of his arm and the sharpness of his sword, has carved out of the world this Musulman Empire."

Unfortunately, the author is correct. Unfortunately too few realize it.
This uprising in France is only the beginning. Once the french government reacts by showering gifts on the rioters, others in other countries will see their success and copy it.
The clash has been building up pressure, and sparks are starting to fly. I wonder what will happen when/if Europe decides to do something about Iran? Will they be too afraid of their internal populations to make themselves safe from an external nuclear threat?

from post immediately above: "I wonder what will happen when/if Europe decides to do something about Iran? Will they be too afraid of their internal populations to make themselves safe from an external nuclear threat?"
They are doing some quintessentially European -- They're appeasing Iran as we speak -- Bending over, no, tripping over each other to proffer rewards and benefits WTO status, trade concessions, all kinds of goodies and benefits -- And the the FM's of Germany and France have REPEATEDLY REPEATEDLY assured the Iranians that NO MILITARY MEASURES will be embraced by them -- This is all a "Diplomatic" issue.
Diplomat is to Nuclear Proliferation like police response is to terrorism... Both basically ineffective, and far more likely to encourage transgressions than to stop them...
The law breakers LAUGH at these wobbly kneed responses from "the Western Powers" -- Their powers consist of postponing, rewarding, and blaming America for everything...
