“…Islamic Jihad ministate on the doorstep of Europe…”

I overstated the case, and thereby ignored a giant exception. Of course Muslims did this in Spain, and it took nearly 800 years and staggering amounts of blood to turn back the tide. In fact, Spain represents one of the few nations that was once invaded by Muslim hordes and then successfully expelled them. In nearly every other case, Muslims play for keeps, and nothing will turn them back. I wonder what this augers for the tens of thousands of little (and not so little) footholds we’ve insanely granted them across our splendid domains?

The Muslims in “Kosovo”, armed with excellent propaganda in the form of a narrative which fit perfectly into the post-modern Marxist mold, and at a time when the West was lazily and arrogantly assuming that assisting Muslims would somehow translate into goodwill from the larger Islamic world towards the West, and abetted by morally bankrupt regimes in Europe and especially Washington, with basilisks like Wesley Clark and Bill Clinton at the helm, advanced the cause of Jihad in the 1990s.

No wonder they seem to “like” us so much. (and it’s only seem, I guarantee…)

Still, it’s amazing that Totten is taken in so utterly by their effusive appreciation that infidel America witlessly helped fulfill Allah’s design and made the land part of the House of Islam for the Muslims of Kosovo.
