I just saw this movie;
Days of Glory
I thought it'd be a nice read too with the extra links.... basically this all points out 'a' history of Muslims in France-> before the events of recent years that some would cheesily liken to an 'invasion' of sorts.

"When Trumpets Fade".


Good movie! Yeah, it premiered around the time "Saving Private Ryan" did. Read " A dark and bloody ground" by Ed Miller, its really friggin sad how the officers just dropped the ball on this one. That was my Uncles unit in the movie, they had something like a 90% mortality rate in the Hurtgen.
