Funny that, I thought National Socialism was a product of the desire for white racial purity that arose from within European civilisation. You know, the ovens in the morning, Schubert after lunch.'Pass the cow dung, my dropsy's killing me' - Heraclitus - Weird Granny Slater

Oh, just search any reliable search engine for 'George W. Bush', 'war on terror', 'clash of civilizations', etc., etc.
Then perhaps follow that with 'regime change', ''humanitarian' intervention', 'exporting democracy', 'defending democracy', 'oil', 'weapons of mass destruction', etc., etc. (Best avoid 'land grabs', 'Israel' and 'peace'. And 'Saudi Arabia'.)
There must be something in the air spreading apocalyptic, end-of-times thinking. Last week we had 10 minutes to save the planet. Now we've gotta spend it destroying Islam? I know what I'd rather be doing.'Pass the cow dung, my dropsy's killing me' - Heraclitus - Captain Haddock

Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
