>>Nazism and Jew-bashing belong to the past, Judeofascism is the future.<< While you're predicting the future, we in the present are plagued with Islamofascist and Chomskofascist threats. I'm interested in where these European Gestapo are maintaining their latter-day Buchenwald filled with Muslim prisoners.

Top international anti-terrorism experts have identified two of Europe's most legally tolerant regions – namely, the Dutch-language areas around Europe's most important west coast harbors, Antwerp and Rotterdam – as the main breeding ground for Muslim-fundamentalist terrorist groups. Osama bin Laden 's organization even runs shipping companies as fronts from Amsterdam. The British researcher Dr. R. Gunaratna warned that, especially in The Netherlands, because of its total lack of anti-terrorism laws and its very high level of religious, cultural and judicial tolerance, Muslim-fundamentalist terrorist groups are allowed to thrive. They use Amsterdam and Rotterdam as central bases in the West from which they garnish funds, recruit activists from the local Muslim youth cultural groups, and purchase highly sophisticated arms in the world's largest trading hub: Rotterdam harbor. newsmax.com

No Place To Hide Increased cooperation among European police forces is making life more difficult for terrorists By ROD USHER Customs officers making a routine drugs check in the Belgian port of Antwerp were inspecting a crate full of gherkins and garlic aboard an Iranian freighter when they discovered something with much more kick: a home-made mortar weighing 190 kg, plus some 320-mm shells. Once upon a time a photograph of smiling agents showing off the seized weapon would have appeared in the next day's newspapers. But instead of trumpeting their find, the Belgians told only the central authority for police intelligence in Germany, the B.K.A. The freighter was Hamburg-bound and the bill of lading named the receiver as an Iranian with an import-export business in Munich. The B.K.A. alerted the police there, who arrested the man. In the past, such a catch would have been highly unlikely. Police and security forces are obliged to respect borders, are jealous of arrest scores and are typically secretive with their information. But international terrorism ignores frontiers and uses differences between states to its advantage--so if defense against terrorist action is to succeed, operations like the one in Antwerp in 1996 must become increasingly common in Europe. time.com
