The Shores of English-Speaking Countries

I have received some criticism that I am providing links in German and other non-English languages.

No doubt, the same people would complain that I am not providing any links at all and doubt the facts behind the points I'm trying to make, would I stop providing non-English links, which would mean in many cases no links at all because this blog is largely, though not exclusively, about German and European matters.

Anybody who wants to read blogs that are about Anglo-Saxon interna and based on English language sources only is welcome to leave Roncesvalles and frequent instead all the many excellent blogs that meet this requirement.

Ever hopeful, I think that most literate people will at least be able to see what a German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish or French link is basically about. I still might lie about certain aspects, but it at least it proves that I am not making things up entirely.

This may amaze you, but the world does neither begin nor end at the shores of English-speaking countries.

Also, and this is important, don't assume that I agree with or endorse any particular content of, or opinion expressed on, a website to which I link.

We can always use an online translator site.
It is less than perfect, but better than nothing.

I intend to profile this website sometime this weekend on my blog
along with some iranian blogs I found.


Since their message and yours seems identical. Even MidEasternors can despise Jihadists.

It's a matter of Solidarity? ;-)
