2. Holland - Anti-Semitism soars in Holland - remember, this is where Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered by Islamic extremists. Ayaan Hirsi Ali had to flee Holland for fears over her personal safety. And, as is pointed out in the link - despite the Anne Frank story and the stories of Dutch resistance to the Nazis - Holland was full of Nazi collaborators during World War II - some 102,000 of 140,000 Dutch Jews were murdered during the Shoah.

6. GZM - now with its own acronym - the Ground Zero Mosque - probably will have a Happy Meal soon at McDonald's! Before I post a variety of links, I will refer you to this link - Commentary » Blog Archive » Attacking American Muslims - which contains the following quote:
"Because the debate on the mosque near Ground Zero deals with extremely sensitive matters, it’s easy for things to spin out of control. So it’s particularly important that arguments be made with precision, with care, and even with some measure of grace and understanding."
