#1  Nice title, g(r)om.

Now I'll have My Fair Lady tunes rattling around my head all day.

#2  This column's tone is wrong. The implementation of the Euro was not a mistake if you look at it from the perspective of the unelected socialist elite at the top of the EU.

They WANTED a crisis to serve as the foundation for the total collapse of the nation state so they can have their non-democratic one sovereign Europe run by them and for them from Brussels.

The exact details of the crisis were not planned anymore than the exact location of a WWII bomb could be determined. All that could be insured was that a big boom would happen in a general area and that was good enough.

Bloodless tyranny is still tyranny.

#3  A related article.

#4  >s because the political and bureaucratic constraints on Europe’s cumbersome policy system where power is bizarrely and opaquely scattered between and among national governments, EU commissioners, councils, parliaments, a two headed presidency and a cluster of overlapping courts

He FAILS to notice that this is because there is no DEMAND from the peoples of Europe for the EUSSR. It is PURELY a political vanity project for those in the looting sector.

#5  The title is not mine. To be candid, the main reason for the post is that I just couldn't resist the title.

#6  The OWG EUSSR will devol into EURABIA/EURABISTAN iff it isn't careful.

Lest we fergit, 1990's NET = Where Commies go, Radical Islam follows.

And the MSM can't deny otherwise because it is themselves whom describe how Commie-Socialist/Lefty Groups collude wid Radical Islamist.

Spanish magazine publishes Mohammad cartoon
[Al Ahram] Spanish political satire magazine El Jueves has published a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad on its cover, soon after violent protests rocked the Moslem world over a U.S. film and French caricatures deemed insulting to Islam.

El Jueves' latest edition, which hit Spanish newsstands on Wednesday, shows several Moslems in a police lineup under the title "But...does anyone know what Mohammad looks like?"

Any depiction of the prophet is considered blasphemous by Moslems but the issue has also caused a debate in the West about censorship and freedom of speech.

The magazine declined to comment to Rooters on Thursday on the motives for the publication.

But in comments to the Huffington Post, editor Mayte Quilez said it was a decision to take a humorous position on a contentious issue. "If you can't depict Mohammad, how do you know it is him in the cartoons?" she asked.

Last week, French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad soon after protests against a film made in the United States provoked a torrent of anti-American unrest in Egypt, Libya and other countries.

The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed in one of the first protests, on Sept. 11, and 15 people were killed in protests in Pakistain last Friday.

The Spanish Embassy on Wednesday sent a message to its citizens in Egypt asking for caution in the event of any backlash from the El Jueves cartoon but has not said whether it will step up security in other Arab countries.

"We're still analysing what steps to take," a foreign ministry source said.

Still with this BS about the murders. They had nothing to do with the movie or any other cause than the fact that AQ are murderous scum.

France to expel Islamists threatening security: Minister
[Al Ahram] La Belle France will expel any foreigner who threatens security at home or abroad in the name of Islam or does not respect the country's secular traditions, Interior Minister Manuel Valls said Thursday.

La Belle France will be "intransigent... and I will not hesitate to expel those who claim to follow Islam and represent a serious threat to public order and as foreigners in our country do not respect our laws and values," he said at a ceremony to inaugurate a grand mosque in the eastern city of Strasbourg.

"The preachers of hatred, those espousing obscurantism and fundamentalists ... do not have a place in La Belle France," he said. "Racism, fundamentalism is not part of Islam."

"Those who are on our soil to defy our laws and want to attack the foundations of our society cannot remain here," he said.

The mosque, which can hold 1,500 worshippers, is the biggest in La Belle France, which with four million Moslems has the largest Islamic population in western Europe.

#2  I'll take Euro-terrorism for $500.

This country expels foreigners who threaten security at home as opposed to providing White House dinners.

What does France do with suspected terrorists?

#3  the French have a long experience with this kind of problem. stemming from the days of North Africa, and insurrections in places like Algeria. they are quick to stomp out any rebellion ... esp. with so many Muslim neighborhoods in some of their cities.
