Let's not get alarmed, people! What's the big deal? Several thousand posters on busses proclaiming Moses, Abraham, Jesus are Muslim and Submission to God is the way to go. Well, if it weren't for the fact that terrorist Muslim groups are sponsoring these ads, it might not be a problem. Time to return to Starbucks for a cafe latte and forget about it. Live and let live.

But if one takes the time and has the inclination (most of us do not)...Europe and multi-culturalism and that "live and let live" joie de vivre that so beautifully characterize the Dutch...It is now choking them, destroying the very fabric of Dutch society. Honor killings, beheadings, rape, torture, etc. exist freely in Dutch society in neighborhoods which are policed by radical Islamic gangs, neighborhoods where no self-respecting Dutch policeman who likes his pension would dare to go. Headdress, Islamic over-populated schools demanding that Sha'aria law prevail, etc. are de rigeur.

And not just Holland...England has recently accepted Sha'aria law alongside British civil law. If a woman is found in a dark alleyway with her head by her body, this would not be a crime investigation scene if it were ascertained that the woman was killed by her husband for going shopping with a male friend or looking cross-eyed at her neighbor or not staying behind closed doors, or not submitting to her spouse. Murder would go free. In France, Germany, Spain, etc. we now have the potential to soon call Europe "Eurabia."

Did it happen overnight? No, it did not. It crept up upon a very hospitable, open, loving society of multi-culturalists who looked the other way when radical Islam demanded its entitlement to destroy western civilization. Will Americans look the other way as well? Seems imminent when no one makes a fuss about "innocent" posters on U.S. busses. Funded by terrorist dollars? Hell yes. Does anyone care? Hell no. Until another Sept. 11. Then the outrage, the confusion...How could this happen on American soil? Bowing to Allah? Sha'aria law? "Allah is great" drowning out the sound of church bells in a historically Christian nation founded by Christians, based on Judeo-Christian values, just as Holland was founded by Christians, a nation proud of its heritage now a nation of soon to be Dhimmitude.
