Short break.

So much to unpack in that question, Steve.

First of all, I have to pay tribute to Senator Tuberville and what he's done in Alabama in forcing this Islamic Academy of Alabama to drop its relocation plans.

He single-handedly, I think, made a massive contribution to his home state there.

Alabama is the quintessential part of the Bible Belt.

I say this as a good Catholic, but that's exactly how Alabama should remain.

And...

I'd hate to see the word broken up with a hyphen dropped in a banner becoming part of the Koran belt.

So close that, move on to the strategic review that was dropped a couple of days ago by the White House.

You know, the White House echoing President Trump's thinking in that made a very astute point here.

And they were saying that the demographic changes

in continental Europe is having a consequence on our domestic policy priorities.

And that has an influence as well with regards to NATO.

And that's an absolutely... That point is spot on, Steve.

You look at France, for example, and that's its national policy now, its domestic policy.

Also, its external policy, its foreign policy is totally dictated now by the fact that...

Most of Paris, in terms of ethnic descent, is coming from North Africa.

That has reorientated the capital, and Paris has always been the lead as far as France as a country is concerned.

It has reorientated the capital and the whole nation of one of the EU's fundamental countries towards the Islamic sphere.

And that has consequences for NATO.
