HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE - It’s Jihad, Not Joblessness Causing Rioting

Finally comes a piece from a commentator who gets the point! These Muslim youth on French soil (and lately on Danish and German soil, too) are re-fighting the European campaign that Charles the Hammer stopped in the Battle of Poitiers. Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), brilliantly reminds us that the murderer of Theo van Gogh explicitly declared in court that he did not want anyone to remember him as a petulant youth repaying an insult, but rather as a warrior following the dictates of his original commanding general (and namesake), Muhammad.

That the French don't get the point is bad enough. That certain Americans don't get it either, is worse.
