Most of the London suicide bombers had ties with Pakistan.

This quote from a newspaper article on the extremist politics in Pakistan and how the sentiment of religious tolerance went horribly wrong.

Why tolerance is not on the curriculum in Pakistan

Also worth reading is this article:

Fanatics around the world dream of the Caliph's return.

I am wondering whether even the most benign-appearring Muslims are not, at the least, sheltering the fanatics and hiding evidence they possess.

A Netherlandian writer (Leon de Winter) said in a german interview some days ago, that the time for liberal cultures in Europe is gone and that appeasemt doesn't work any more with people who have no concept of peace and liberty. Therefore he sees only two futures for the European states: Desaster or Destruction. The murder of van Gogh by an Islamist showed that we have the problem of asymmetric warfare in our courts.

He has a lot to say, especially on the irrational fear of Europeans about Saddam Husseins well-being in the prison.

The bottom line: I cannot enjoy liberty when I am dead.

Nach dem linken Faschismus der Sowjets, nach dem rechten Faschismus der Nazis, ist der Islamismus der Faschismus des 21. Jahrhunderts.

I like this quote from Max's article,

"After the left-wing fascism of the Soviets and the right-wing fascism of the NAZIs - Islam has become the new fascism of the 21st century."

I will write more later.

Thanks for the "Der Spiegel" article. Winter seems like a very intelligent guy.

Unfortunately, he doesn't realize we need more freedom, not less - otherwise we will be doing what the terrorists want us to.

If Governments didn't waste so much time and money interfering in the economy and trying to provide social services, they would finally do a proper job with the police, army and legal system to round up criminals like these terrorists.

If Governments weren't so busy paying aid money overseas and supporting dictatorships - I think the terrorists would be fewer anyway.
