To me, the worst thing about Muslims, aside from their longing to be returned to the good old days of the eighth century, and to drag the rest of us, kicking and screaming, along with them, is the fact that far too many politically correct imbeciles feel compelled to accommodate them and to find rationales for their violence.

Two such enablers who come to mind, I'm sad to say, are George Bush and Condoleezza Rice. Both have promoted the lie that Islam is a religion of peace and good will.

And just in case you haven't noticed, that includes everybody who doesn't spend several minutes every day bowing down to Mecca.

Knowing the French as we all do, I suspect that it is a solution they will enthusiastically support. However, the territory wouldn't be carved out of Nice or Marseilles or – mon dieu! – certainly not Paris. Instead, in typically French style, it would be Luxembourg, Liechtenstein or perhaps, once again, Czechoslovakia.
