UW, The flypaper theory looked hopeful there until I read the article and saw that very few are taking the opportunity to join Islamic Jihad in Iraq to fight off the infidels. I imagined hordes leaving Europe and going to Iraq [and maybe Afghanistan]. Sadly, no. <Murck said he had no solid numbers for how many people might have gone from Germany to fight in Iraq, but added that it did not appear to be many. "If you look at Hamburg, you can count them on two hands — those who have gone or who tried to go," he said. European anti-terrorist officials have estimated that perhaps a few hundred militants have gone to Iraq as a result of recruiting efforts on the continent, mostly Muslims whose families immigrated from the Middle East or North Africa.> Moslems obviously know that life is good in Europe and "the West" and don't want to mess it up too much, too fast. Like most religious people, they keep their hypocritical religion on a tight leash for sanctiomonious public display and Sundays [Bill Clinton clutching a bible while fondling the girls in the vestry thevestry.net], King George II clutching a bible while winning an election]. The rest of the time they pursue the seven deadly sins with alacrity, even using their religion as a cover to conduct grotesque crimes. Having escaped Islam's worst excesses, they are nearly all reluctant to leave their profitable and safe new havens to return to carnage and poverty. Mqurice
