   Spain pull’s out of Iraq and Islamic Radical’s still want to bomb them?
   What’s wrong would’nt they put foot bath’s in their airport’s and subway system’s?

   When will they ever learn, there is nothing you can do to appease them except converting Spain to an Islamic State and handing them the knife to cut your infadel head off.

   Islamic radicals may have been plotting attacks in Barcelona, Spain’s Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said on Saturday, after police found bomb-making materials and arrested 14 South Asians.

   Appeasement didn’t work?! Ann Coulter is right: If liberals had any brains. . .

   Meanwhile, back at the Pentagon, Stephen Coughlin has been fired for discussing the doctrine of jihad and its Koranic genesis.

   But it’s okay. There’s really no worldwide jihad problem, and what small minority of terrorists we do have in the world are the result of our policies in the Middle East.

   We caused it all. Prior to George Bush there was no jihad problem, right?

   Except – what about the Battle of Tours in 732? Or the seige of Vienna in 1683? I’m sure there’s some rational Islam-appeasing explanation, if we just think hard enough.

   Well Spain is after all the first target for caliphate, The UK is 2nd. The plan is to establish strongholds North & South & then to envelope by attrition.

   This is going to get ugly… better sooner than later.

   At least the Spanish are standing up, the UK I fear is lost.

   So, the Moors want the Alhambra back. Spain should have seen that coming.

   Computers were also seized during the operation in the historic district of Raval just after midnight.

   The information contained within, certainly worth their weight in gold! And the Spaniards have no problem raiding a “prominent mosque”… you gotta love it.

   This is good progress in the War on Jihad.

    Hey, work949. You forgot 1492 and King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella; the takeover of Granada, which expelled the last of the Moors from Spain. France had the battle of Poiters which was the final end of the Islamic attempt to take over of Europe.

    Almost sounds like part of Europe is slowly waking to the enemy within their gates. I only hope they can find a Charles Martel before it is too late.

    We need to pay attention to history.

    Brooklyn red is right:

    Spain is the first target for caliphate.

    Visigothic kingdom fell to Muslim conquerors in a single battle on the Rio Barbate in 711, and the Hispanic Christian population took seven long centuries to regain control of the Iberian peninsula. The Reconquista, of course, was completed in 1492, only months before Columbus received official backing for his fateful voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Had Charles Martel suffered at Tours-Poitiers the fate of King Roderick at the Rio Barbate, it is doubtful that a “do-nothing” sovereign of the Merovingian realm could have later succeeded where his talented major domus had failed. Indeed, as Charles was the progenitor of the Carolingian line of Frankish rulers and grandfather of Charlemagne, one can even say with a degree of certainty that the subsequent history of the West would have proceeded along vastly different currents had ‘Abd ar-Rahman been victorious at Tours-Poitiers in 732.

    Time for more 2nd amendments rights….357 and 30-30 protection…I better hurry I have a feeling the 2nd amendment will be over turned this spring, then watch out.
    I smell something off in the distance…not sure but it may smell like a coup…after all didn’t Jefferson advise us about that.

    Ah, history! What a pleasure to read comments from so many who are educated on the turning points of Western Civilization.

    It is indeed an honor to be here with everyone.

    And may God (along with a few well-placed gunshots, if necessary) deliver us all from the unthinkable horrors of Sharia.

    Good post.

    We may add also the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

    It’s like the recent tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo–the protective moat was not up to specs. Similarly Moslems should be kept at a minimum an ocean away from the public for security.

    Instead Kennedy gives us chamberpot immigration and Bush open borders. Yuck.

    When you represent only about 10 per cent of the European population coupled with Europe’s history when it comes to dealing with minorities… it might not be a good idea to start acting as if you already own the place.
