Actually, I can totally believe there are European Muslims hankering for a chance to come stateside to unleash a little ''payback'' for Iraq. That''s cuz Europeans tend to be well educated, including the Muslims. Knowing that we''ve been unjust in the MiddleEast, European Muslims are FAR more likely to adopt terrorism in response to our violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, than Muslims in the Middle East, who for the most part have conflicts with the political establishments at home to resolve first, and are less well-informed to begin with. Muhammed Atta was a European Muslim, as were most of the 9-11 hijackers (i.e. they were exposed to Western educational values, which taught them to recognize the power struggles in the world in a different, less ignorant way). It seems that one of the consequences of a good education is a tendency to want to ''strike out'' against the established order, and this spills over into terrorism among the most radical. THESE are the folks we needed to worry about before we aimlessly killed half a million in Iraq. Too late for that. We should be vigilant against them, and work to explain our ''new path'' toward more accomodation and a willingness to work for peace, not just war. If Obama becomes president, I think that message will be successfully sent, and we''ll have a lot less to fear from European terrorists.

Could this be the ''October Surprise'' plan that we are all anticipating from President Bush before the Nov-2008 general election?

They only want us to fear Europeans who are aware of the increasingly fascist bent of neocon Amerikkka. If there are any terrorists it''''s this administration and all of the terrorists that they "used" to support, and that they recently supported in lebanon to fight against the sunnis there. Don''''t believe it? Look up the article the Redirection in the New Yorker by Seymour Hersh.

The Department of Homeland Security is also warning of possible terrorist Hurricanes that could try something this summer or early fall, possibly from the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico...and the possibility of terrorist storm cells that might hit the plains and Midwest of the U. S. in the form of Extremist Islamic Tornadoes. By the way, Vote John McSame ol'' Republican Scare Tactic Cr*p!

To US...Please keep your segregation rules on the US territories. In Europe we learned from the Nazi era and dont need hitler like rule anymore.
we somehow succeded in establishing a rather integrated society and dont need a segregated one.

Yeah, most Europeans have become very anti-Islamic immigration and given their current situation, it''s not surprising. Muslims don''t seem to assimilate as well in Europe as they have here. But either way, we all should fight against extremism.
