Or, if third world immigration continues, perhaps the EU will break up into brand new ethnic boundaries just as the US probably will.

In one comment a Swiss official stated that the “Swiss Government has a different agenda than the Swiss people.” Two weeks before the Swiss vote, France had numerous examples of worship (Riots) in its streets over of all things a sporting event between Algeria and Egypt, French merchants paid for that. Paris merchants and its White citizens also received a taste of Black South African justice as well November 17, 2009. hhtp://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/4174. It is my understanding that there is a resurgence of the old religions of Europe among the young Europeans and they are anti-Christian, wait until they meet the European Taliban. Let’s just hope that common sense will spread.

They are truly a self-reliant society, and they understand that the foundation of self-reliance is self-defense.
Also, if they ever stop screaming and invoking images of the Third Reich, maybe liberals in Europe would realize that Islam is the polar opposite of everything they claim to believe in. What does Sharia law say about Women’s rights or gay rights or religious freedom? What happens to Muslims who renounce their faith? Everything liberals claim to hate about Christians is found in Islam a hundred times more extreme.
But they just bury their heads in the sand and chant “religion of peace!”

In the Kingdom I sometimes found the prayer call eerily beautiful. There was however, amateur night at the microphone… (They don’t climb stairs up minaret anymore, they’ve got loudspeakers.)

And then there was the Iftar gun. A light field piece fired at the sunrise prayer call all through the month of Ramadan. That would have been around 5 a.m. or thereabouts.

Under my bedroom window, just across the street as a matter of fact…

As private citizens, we have the right to exclude for ANY REASON people from entering our homes. The same should apply to the nation as a whole based on a simple majority of the citizens of that nation.

Better the nabobs and apologists should seek out what’s behind it all. Here’s a hint:

The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, and the believers our soldiers.
– Recep Tayyip Erdo?an (Turkey’s Prime Minister and EU membership enthusiast)

Perhaps we have a place to release Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan on bail to. Do you think he’d get to reload and shoot for 10 minutes in Zurich?
