Statement
Note: If you want to develop this Statement into an Argumentation, you have to fill in the Title box of this Statement.
Date: 2003-03-13 (Thursday)
Europe is no longer Europe. It is a province of Islam, as Spain and Portugal were at the time of the Moors. It hosts almost 16 million Muslim immigrants and teems with mullahs, imams, mosques, burqas, chadors. It lodges thousands of Islamic terrorists whom governments don’t know how to identify and control. People are afraid, and in waving the flag of pacifism [...] they feel protected.
-- Oriana Fallaci, in her essay, The Rage, the Pride and the Doubt -- Thoughts on the eve of battle in Iraq, Wall Street Journal
