And yet some come down on the opponents of the Ground Zero Mosque for their 'insensitivity'.
I, for one, am getting mighty tired of it always being we who have to prove we're the nice guys.
La Meca, a popular discotheque in southern Spain, has agreed to change its name and architectural design after Islamic extremists threatened to initiate "a great war between Spain and the people of Islam" if it did not. The nightclub controversy (which has parallels to the Danish cartoon imbroglio of 2005) has spread across the Muslim world in recent weeks and has risked escalating into an international crisis. The controversy not only signals the increasing assertiveness of Spain's rapidly growing Muslim community; it also demonstrates that Spain remains firmly in the sights of Salafist Jihadists, who view the country as a Muslim state that must be reconquered for Islam.
Will the USA learn from Western Europe that Islam is a political movement every bit as much as a religion? Will we take heed before we suffer the same fate seen in Spain, Britain and France?

"Change your name or we burn it down and blow it up".....
"Ok" says the business. Nice how just a threat of violence from them got changes done.
Sure beats going to the polls and filing a claim/going to court..that could take months/years to change.
Why didn't these "upset" folks do it the legal way ?
