La citation du jour - Roger Scruton (24)

"When Israel became the target for the Islamic militants of Hizbullah it was not in order to achieve some settlement favorable to the Palestinian people.  It was in order to punish Israel as an outreach of the West in the dar al-islam.  The Islamic militants can therefore be satisfied with nothing short of the total destruction of Israel.  For Israel is a nation-state established where no nation-state should be - a place where the only law should be the shari'a, and the only loyalty that of Islam."
