Here is a frightening article by the World Jewish Congress titled: <font color=blue>"Radical Islam in Europe: A united continent faces a burgeoning threat to its stability"<font color=black> <font color=gray>http://www.wjc.org.il/publications/policy_dispatches/pub_dis83.html<font color=black> Excerpts: "The dramatic increase in antisemitic violence in Western Europe has drawn attention to the burgeoning Muslim population in that part of the world." ... "Certainly, the new, burgeoning Muslim population in Europe will have enormous impact on European society." ... "There is a strong current in Muslim society in Europe that balks at the idea of any genuine integration into the surrounding society. ... This is not a question of resistance toward adopting a different life-style or adherence to age-old ritual, but rather a conscious and often militant antipathy to the dominant host culture." ... "In the Netherlands, presently home to 1 million Muslims out of a total population of 16 million, Dutch legislators have called for a government commission to study the activities of the mosques, which have become hotbeds of anti-western sentiment and have often incited violence."

The research is in on you, rrrruffff... Monkeys-s-s Typing Is-s a Mess-s-s nytimes.com LONDON, May 9 (AP) — Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, the theory goes, and they will eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare. Give six monkeys one computer for a month, and they will make a mess. Researchers at Plymouth University in England reported this week that monkeys left alone with a computer failed to produce a single word. "They pressed a lot of S's," said Mike Phillips, a researcher in the project which was paid for by the Arts Council. The researchers left a computer in the monkey enclosure at Paignton Zoo in southwest England, home to six Sulawesi crested macaques. Then, they waited. Eventually, the monkeys produced only five pages of text, primarily filled with the letter S. At the end, a few A's, J's, L's and M's were struck. "Another thing they were interested in was in defecating and urinating all over the keyboard," Mr. Phillips added.
