Is Europe waking up to the Islamic threat in its midst?

Posted by Jillian Becker Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:09:00 GMT

 At least some Germans are:

In the case of the controversy over the mosque planned for Cologne’s Ehrenfeld neighborhood, the right-wing Pro protesters have indeed been pushed into the margins. Their complaints have been drowned out by more high-profile statements coming from prominent leftists and liberals including German Jewish journalist Ralph Giordano, women’s rights activist Alice Schwarzer and investigative reporter Günter Wallraff, who have all spoken out against the mosque. Representatives of Germany’s large churches have increasingly added their voices to the criticism as well. The "dishonest dialogue" with Islam described in SPIEGEL’s pages in December 2001 – in which church representatives simply ignored scandalous and unbearable aspects like persecution of Christians, discrimination against women, toleration of terror and "honor" killings for the sake of harmony – is now a thing of the past.

In place of the "fairy tale that we’re all ‘children of Abraham’," in the words of Leggewie, the churches are now making an effort not to entangle themselves in finding contrived common ground with Islam. Instead they are trying to find areas in which they differ – and this applies particularly to the construction of mosques.

Europe's fear of Islam

 More about the persecution of Geert Wilders by Islam here.

A Jordan court issues a summons to try him for blasphemy. 

‘But what is most disturbing is that an Islamic country would dare subpoena citizens of another state for an action not committed within its borders but in a land where no laws were broken. Besides being meant as a weapon of intimidation, this tactic also represents a frightening extension of Islamic law into the heart of western countries. But perhaps most ominously, this incredibly brazen measure shows that even a small Islamic country like Jordan has no fear of Europe. And, indeed, no retaliatory response met the Jordanian court’s action against European citizens.’

Eurocrats enraged by a democratic vote

 Ireland voted no to giving the unelected bureaucrats who govern Europe still more power. The bureaucrats are furious and unlikely to take no for an answer.

Polish now a euphemism for Muslim

Posted by Jillian Becker Mon, 26 May 2008 17:33:00 GMT

In the UK it seems that the English flag - the cross of St George - might offend Poles, according to the police. This is most unlikely. So why must it not be flown?

Because what they really fear is that it  might offend Muslims. But apparently they dare not use the word Muslim even when shielding Muslims from possible offense. 

The dread of Muslims taking offense has Europe quaking? If so, Islam is already victorious there.
