#1 They refuse to see there's an internal component of the problem, one of poverty and despair."

I think they're both refusing to see the problem is one of religous zealotry.

#2 If the problem were one of poverty and despair then the streets in Cairo, Ryad and Damacus would be oozing with blood as raped, escaped Soudanese slaves would settle scores with Muslims.

The problem is not one of poverty and despair but one of an ideology who tells Muslims and specially Arabs they are the herrensvolk elected by God to rule the universe, and the right to kill, plunder and rape the kaffirs so getting anything less is an injustice nand against God's will.

#4 One thing is for certain: I'm happy as hell that Morocco was not awarded the 2010 World Cup by FIFA.

FIFA painted itself into a corner with the vote rigging scheme to award Germany in 2006 so they were "honor-bound" (I know; FIFA is as honorable as the UN, e.g. not) to give the tournament to an African nation. Morocco, Egypt, and South Africa were the three likeliest but two have chronic Islamonaut problems and the R.S.A., although getting progressively worse, may pull it off.

Still, US progress in soccer is on track and we might even manage a Final Four appearance but I'll be watching on television. There's no way I'll travel to the Neo-Caliph without a weapon.

#5 ISLAMIC extremist networks in the Netherlands are recruiting and funding Moroccan youths for the jihad in Kashmir and other places. That is the most important finding in the annual report of the Dutch Internal Security Service (BVD). The report mentions the case of two young Moroccans from the southern Dutch city of Eindhoven who went to Kashmir in December 2001.

#6 It would be interesting to set up a sting and recuit a bunch of youthful riff-raff and put them on a direct flight to GITMO.
