The punishment of hatred

The same place that has tried for two thousand years to annihilate its Jewish population in is about to fall in the hands of those whose religion has no regard for their culture. As some Europeans mock Israel by defining it as an 'experiment in history about to disappear', I may say that the european experiment may have reached a similar point. Europe is about to pay dearly for its hatred towards the same people that helped it become great and that could have prevented its decline now.

Will we ever get a chance to know a muslim Einstein,a muslim Freud,a muslim Oppenheimer, a moslem Colombus? Hard to say but what we know for sure is that there will be plenty of Saddams, plenty of Ghaddafis, plenty of Bin Ladens.
