They have plans for us ... amd "us" includes Europe

Hamas demands return of Seville in internet children's magazine - The Spain Herald:

"'The lost paradise of Al Andalus,' explicitly mentioned in the text, is a common meme in the Muslim world. It has led to concrete fatwas declared in order to recover territories conquered by Christian 'infidels,' such as that of three years ago by the Islamist sheik Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, which explicitly says that 'Islam will return to Europe as the conqueror.' Al-Qaradhawi is the leader of the European Council for Fatwa and Research, the president of the International Association of Muslim Scholars, and the spiritual leader of many other Islamist organizations around the world."

Again, a reminder that if the US, and even Israel as well, ceased to exist tomorrow, the jihad would continue. Militant Islam's grievance is not so much with the modern West as with its own past ... and present - its inability to deal with its relative decline from the times when it seemed on a roll to conquer the known civilized world.

Islamist Muslims would seem to prefer to ignore the fact that they "seemed on a roll to conquer the known civilized world" not by force of intellect or "divine right", but by force of arms erercised with mind-numbing brutality. Thus, they view any territory taken back from them by the same force of arms as having been "conquered", rather than simply retaken by its original occupants. This represents an interesting set of "historic blinders".

The concept of a gang of "theocratic thugs" with 21st century weapons, a 7th century worldview and a "chip on their shoulder" is truly awe inspiring!
