After the murder of Theo van Gogh I remember quite a few American columnists writing that Holland would finally wake up to the threat of

I'm not an American but I'm not much of an European either. In 1993 I made the decision to move to Israel and I lived there until 2002. One

of the differences between the peoples of the Middle East and the Europeans is their different attitude towards the past. The European view
