Seems that the Europeans are beginning to take ground back from the fundamentalist muslims.

They want their countries back, and who can blame them? While releigious freedom is a good thing, the failure to adapt to the mores of the host country will evenutally result in a backlash.

You can now get a copy ONLINE. Gratis.

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don’t ever count on having both at once.

Although there is, apparently, some hope.
