вот вам другая ссылка, для положительного баланса разумности мира:
My prediction is that after the Muslims nuke a few Western cities and celebrate the deaths of the inhabitants, dancing in the streets and passing out candy, governments may come to power in the West which have genocide as explicit goals.
See, this will surprise a lot of Western liberals, who really were swallowing the Religion of Peace crap, and will feel very betrayed when it's not just funny-looking people with funny names dying in Israel or Africa, but their own lovers and siblings barbecued alive for the amusement of Islam. I figure that the Muslim leaders will then come forward, hands outstretched for the usual concessions -- and receive a very nasty shock.
