#1 Shame that these people are so blind to their own history. The Salt Trade in North Africa and the Spice Trade throughout the Middle East lay some of the earliest foundations of free-market capitalism. Islam is what, 1300 years old? Arabs were trading goods long before that.

#2 capitalism cannot sustain itself and is bound to collapse.

That was my PhD dissertation. Needless to say, I don't have a PhD.

#3 He also said private terrorism would find no approval among European Muslims.

Left unsaid was that organized terrorism - a la Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, et al - might have to be substituted instead.

#4 The counter-reconquista is launched.

Bin Laden, in the highly unlikely case he is still alive, must be very pleased indeed.

Would the Nazis have been allowed to hold conferences in Allied countries during the war, announcing the coming destruction of the free West?

#5 I keep saying that the Spanish have gone soft in the head on this one. First a mosque in Grenada, now this conference. I expect an army with a green banner marching on Andalusia real soon.

They'd better not try during Bush's watch: At a time when REAL friends were few and far apart during the days leading up to GW II, Spain stood by the United States and Great Britain.

We will not miss a good opportunity to try out a MOAB.
