    The brown eyed man died on Feb 3 1959. The same day as the music.

    The Europeans have a history of making critical mistakes which have led to worldwide chaos and untold loss of lives. They believe negotiation and appeasement with totalitarian movements and leaders can produce good-faith behavior. Once Muslims reach a certain 'critical mass', they will demand a Muslim State that rules under Sharia law. I have no desire to bail out their butts again.

    It's been a while, but the memory is still crystal clear for some of us. During the late 1930s, France and Britain hoped that allowing Adolf Hitler to annex Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia would satisfy his territorial ambitions. This was after a long string of German violations of the terms of the Versailles Treaty ending World War I. Remember that? And do you remember at the Yalta Conference near the end of World War II, Churchill and FDR thought they could appease Josef Stalin by giving away Eastern Europe and making other concessions that ultimately marked the beginning of the nearly half-century Cold War and Soviet-China expansionism?

    Europe is already be overrun by Muslims seeking to institute a Sharia Law. They'd better get on the ball soon. America won't be able to help this time. We've got progressives that are destroying this country from within so we won't be much help.

    Yes, except that by the time you decided to turn up in WW2, Hitler was already beaten back by the RAF (Battle of Britain, August 1940), and as a result had given up any ideas of invading Britain, because we maintained both aerial and naval supremacy over the English Channel and approaches.

    Next, as soon as Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa against the USSR in 1941, he committed his forces to fighting on two fronts and began losing the war. Hitler lost 95% of all his forces in fighting Russia, which did more to defeat Nazism than America could even dream of.

    I and the majority of Poles are fully aware of both Yalta and Tehran where Churchill and Roosevelt conspired with Stalin to betray Poland, Britain's longest-standing ally, and the only country invaded by Nazi Germany never to surrender.

    Aerial and naval supremacy? Germans were constantly bombing Britain, and the only reason they didn't launch a full scale invasion was because of the inflatable tanks and dummy towns that fooled them into thinking you had a much more intimidating force than you did.

    That's true about the Russian front. However, having the US join was a huge morale boost to the flegling European forces, who were nearing the collapse point at the time the US entered.

    Yes, they didn't surrender. They were invaded and then divided. That must be a source of pride. :roll:

    Now you know how the Romans felt when the Emperor Marcus Aurelius died.

    WW2 perhaps? Allowing Nazism to rise up and to appease did not work with that radical totalitarianism and violent ideology either. Islam is not far off. Hate the Jew, wage holy war for land the list is long.

    This isn't a lighting war, it's a womb war, and Europeans are shooting blanks.

    Yes, aerial and naval supremacy. Hitler didn't have the capital ships available to protect the invasion barges he had assembled because they were effectively blockaded, and his forces were thus extremely vulnerable to both air and sea attacks.

    Poland's contribution to WW2 is something every Pole has immense pride in, irrespective of their country being overrun. I wouldn't expect you to understand.

    Using cavalry against tanks? :mrgreen:

    And polish hands aren't all clean. While few, considering a population of 35 million at the start of the war, thousands did collaborate with the germans, just as the french, dutch, belgian, czech etc. did.

    This is only one example.

    No country in europe is blameless for what happened.

    The study and figure may not be propaganda.

    Your conclusion and continual assertions that it IS some kind of a "threat" IS propaganda.

    Let's see, a VERY international town where lots of immigrants go to live actually reflects at MOST the WORLD percentage of Muslims in a population. The study does NOT say 25% ARE Muslim, just 25% whose "roots" are Muslim! :lol: In other words, somebody, somewhere in their family may have been Muslim!

    Given that most kids pay at MOST lip service to their parent's religion (as others have observed here) makes this "25% have roots" :lol: deal a COMPLETE strawman for Islamophobes!

    Try to find something REAL or at LEAST substantive to spread your baseless fears!

    When I first saw the statement in the OP which read "the Greater Brussels Region has Islamic roots", I thought it was a typo error and was meant to say "the Greater Brussels Region has Islamic riots". Oh well, either one would have been correct I guess, so take your pick.

    Doc, this quote fits like a glove.



    "Marcus Tullius Cicero Quote


    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."

    Marcus Tullius Cicero
    (106-43 B.C.) Roman Statesman, Philosopher and Orator

    The cavalry against tanks thing is a myth. No truth in that whatsoever. And of course no one nation has a pristine nation-however in this context, that of Poles being proud of their wartime contribution, it is a non sequitur. I have no idea why you chose to mention it.

    from one comes the other. riots already happened after a criminal died, after all an Infidel killed a Muslim Criminal, clearly the police was at fault.

    They are actually, but I guess you don't read the papers.
