Gates of Vienna News Feed 3/1/2012

Gates of Vienna News Feed 3/1/2012Student protestors all across Spain took to the streets today to protest cuts in state funding for education. Police were forced to fire warning shots over the heads of a mob in Barcelona that burned dumpsters and vehicles.

A different form of student protest took place in Tunisia, where university professors were attacked by students because of a new rule prohibiting the veil. Veiled students had been denied entry to classrooms, and angry students responded with violence against their teachers.

Ah yes, the "Religion of Peace" reacts again to any thwarting of its most retrograde trappings like the veil, with... violence. Very strange notion of peace to a Westerner until he informs himself that Muslims define "peace" as "submission to Allah". Therefore there will be no peace and non-Muslims will not be left in peace until we all submit to Allah and the World Caliphate is achieved. Even then going by Muslim behavior in their own countries, they will turn on each other and blow up each others' mosques for not being the right sect or Muslim enough. It's the Religion of Pieces, bombed to bits and pieces like the Bamiyan Buddhas. Too bad Muslims haven't succeeded in taking down a Western landmark. The Twin Towers were considered by many as merely glorifying Mammon and therefore not a cultural loss, but the Eiffel Tower, or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Louvre and its treasures? That might be a wake up call that even the most hidebound leftist ideologue can't ignore - that his Muslim battering ram is out of his control.
