The forgotten slaves les esclaves oublies

At a time when US slavery is widely publicized in the mainstream media, thanks to Hollywood, let's us not forget that this wasn't the only type of African slavery taking place then.

An ARTE Tv programme translated into english:

Slavery pay back

"A commission set up by countries in the Caribbean announced on Tuesday that it planned to sue Norway for its involvement in plantation slavery from the 17th to the 19th century."The Local, Norway
It is a trend to sue states for their historical involvement in slavery. The need for entitlement shouldn't stop at the door of Western Europe or the USA, for their slavery legacy.   The law of reciprocity should be implemented fairly and also cover Islamic slavery as well.


When will a group stand up and create a commission to study the slave-owning past of the following countries?

Saudi Arabia, Turkey (the Ottoman Empire), Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco - (the Barbary pirates) and Sudan. 
 
There would be 3 commission categories covering the European victims, African victims and Indian victims.

For more details:
http://theutteredword.blogspot.fr/2013/05/the-glory-of-islamic-civilization.html

A history lesson forgotten and dumped in the PC bin:

"Nevertheless, in my native country, I had learnt that the Barbary pirates raided French coasts, putting the South of the country to fire and blood-soaking, kidnapping women and children, to sell them as slaves. How come that as someone born far from France, I know these things, and how come that most of my French friends of origin ignore it and self - flagellate themselves from morning till night?

Occidentophobia

Some information from a recent finding on fundamentalism in Western Europe.  It is a timely update on the perverse nature of our societies in the West compared to the Islamic one:

 "the level of phobia against the West among Muslims – for which oddly enough there is no word; one might call it “Occidentophobia” – is much higher still, with 54 per cent believing that the West is out to destroy Islam."

  "as almost half of European Muslims agree that Muslims should return to the roots of Islam, that there is only one interpretation of the Koran, and that the rules laid down in it are more important than secular laws."

The Uttered Word - dumb

at Xmas

You can't say Merry Christmas anymore?
http://www.chicagonow.com/cheaper-than-therapy/2013/12/you-cant-say-merry-christmas-anymore/
 “We must be open and tolerant toward Islam and Muslims because when we become a minority, they will be so toward us.” — Jens Orback, former Swedish government minister…”

 Judging by the type of statements made in exclusively Islamic states, Mr Orback might be waiting for a long time.

 “Allowing activities that promote occasions that are strange to our Islamic society is ridiculous and an offence to our religious teachings,” MP Hamdan Al-Azmi, Kuwait.  Why did he make this statement? KUWAIT: A tribal lawmaker demanded government action to stop Christmas celebrations in Kuwait.
 Imagine the same situation in an European country but directed at other non-Christian celebrations? What would be the response? An outcry for sure or a riot.  This is a clear example of the double standards being played out across the EU, North America and Australasia. 

It is a clear indication of the hypocrisy of Muslims with regards to Christianity.  Some Muslims do get upset by Christmas as they find it offensive.  Christmas is the celebration of Jesus Christ, someone who is supposedly revered as a messenger by Muslims, under the name "Isa". BUT one reason for not recognising the Christian festival, according to an Islamic website is this:

"Even if Christmas WAS the birthday of Isa/Jesus (as), this is not something to be celebrated as, in Islam, Muslims are not supposed to celebrate birthdays". For more "enlighted reasons why Muslims don't/ mustn't partake in Christmas festivities- LINK

This guy expresses quite well his feelings on the phrase "Merry Christmas" 

 

 It makes for interesting times ahead in Europe, as the Muslim demographics is rapidly changing the European landscape.  I am not going to hold my breath to see if Mr Orback's comments will happen.  Not given the widespread persecution of Christians and other minorities in Islamic countries, nor indeed do the Muslims have to be a minority before there is potentially serious violence, ( see the latest news about Christians in Indonesia at Xmas time).


Another example of the hypocrisy (in the UK) is this "incident" that took place in London, during the run-up to Christmas in 2010.

"Sister Christine Frost, founder of the East London Neighbours in Poplar charity, said: 'The more posters I saw, the more angry I got." She added that: "'If we said such things about Muslims, we'd all be hanging from lamp-posts"

And more quotes in the comments section: "How would they feel if posters saying that Eid was evil appeared everywhere? The UK welcomes those of all faiths who wish to integrate. These hate filled fanatics obviously don't so deport them to a country where they will be much happier - until they protest about something and lose a hand."

What was the response from the Muslim campaigner behind the poster?   He said: 'Christmas is a lie and as Muslims it is our duty to attack it."

 Yet Mr Orback seemed to think that it would not be problem. That's multiculturalism for you;  allowing a minority representative of an ideology intent on denigrating the religion and culture of the UK, offending many Christians in the process, without a care for the feelings of non-Muslims.   Don't worry!  The consensus from the top, those who wield power, aka the PC police, is that we mustn't be seen to upset the Muslims so we are obliged to pander them.  Christmas trees are renamed "holiday trees", no public Nativity scenes,

The authorities desperately tried to brush this aside, but they continue to strip the UK of its Christian roots and hegemony. A trend that is repeated in other countries, (the EU, USA, Canada, etc...).  





It reminds of Animal Farm:

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"

 
 Bah humbug to you all!


  



 











the Uttered Word - insult


 to our common sense and integrity.

The link is to a UK government on tackling extremism in the UK, 9 pages in total, including cover and back!  This shows that the UK government have no serious intention in dealing with the root causes of extremism, largely attributed by a growing minorities of Islamic individuals and organisations.

The uttered word - tactlessness


This is from the man who stated: 
“western democracy is akin to a bus station but the final destination is the Islamic caliphate.”


1. He's at it again but this time at promoting (dreaming of?) a  neo-Ottoman revival and ... He's has upset the Greeks, (again).  Obliviously he does not believe in the laws of reciprocity, (as he so claims).  
"Erdogan said that Thrace is very important to Turkey.

During the municipal elections tour he said that “Thrace is also Thessaloniki, Komotini and Xanthi. It’s Kardzhali and Vardar. If we go a little further it’s Skopje and Pristina, it’s Sarajevo.”

 He continued: “Thrace is the living witness of our common history with Europe. It represents our past in the region. Today, Thrace is in the center of all our Balkan relations along with Adrianople, Tekirdağ, Kırklareli and of course Instanbul.” Source: Greek Reporter, December 2013
 Compare his statement with that of the Greek response by Konstantinos Koutras;

"Today, the only criteria is to abide by the international law and the rules of good neighborly relations based on respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of all the nations in the region."

There is a deafening silence in the EU fortress in Brussels and as well NATO.  Erdogan conveniently forgets that once upon a time, Greeks lived in most of modern-day Turkey for a very very long time, in fact up to the 1950's.

2. Previously he went to Kosovo a in late October and managed to upset the Serbs.In Prizren, he uttered the words “Turkey is Kosovo, and Kosovo is Turkey.” Kosovo is seen as being under a Neo-Ottoman tutelage, (not far from the truth given the mosque building & revision of school textbooks. Now, judging back his latest statement, he also include Pristina and also Sarajevo.   He also added that both nations shared the same history and civilization. “My family, I and ministers of my delegation feel like at home. Today I greet all Albanians, Bosnians, Turks and Gorans,” he said. (Look at the flags).  He continued his speech with the need for stability, peace and a mutual future.  There is a glaring disparity in the words spoken. Of course, the Serbian government picked up on this and condemned his words just as the Greeks have done lately.  He also flashed the sign of the rabia, the 4 fingered hand, the synonymous with Egypt's anticoup protests and the Muslim Brotherhood. Additionally, Erdogan was accompanied by the Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, who said “Erdoğan is our brother who will be with us for better and for worse” in his speech in Prizren.

3. Next clue with regards to the Neo-Ottoman dreamer is from the 6th of June in Istanbul:"I want you to shout so loudly that Sarajevo and Zenica can hear you,". Why would he say that in Istanbul to a Turkish crowd of supporters. It doesn't make sense nor is it a throw-away line, as he had previously mentioned Sarajevo in his election victory speech in 2011. On a visit to Bosnia, Erdogan spoke about the words uttered to him by Izetbegovic, shortly before he died, - "Bosnia is entrusted to you", you being Turkey. That did stir up a debate in the region. To add this is a comment made by the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, who in Sarajevo in 2011:
“In our traditions, we celebrate Eid at home. This is what I am doing, I celebrate the Eid with my family in Sarajevo. Bosnia is our home and Bosnians are our family members.”

 Furthermore, Davutoğlu spoke about "that he wished to see regional cooperation that would enable people to travel from Bosnia to Sudan without a passport". 

By joining the dots, a picture is emerging, some kind of Turkish vision of regional unity and cooperation.  It seems to be based unique on a shared faith too, based on Islamic values. Maybe this vision of cooperation is something of a mirror reflection of what is happening within Turkey's borders.  There has a slow realisation by the Turkish authorities that are not just Turks, per se but there are many different entities and ethnics living in Turkey, all brought together during the Ottoman rule.  This has resulted in moves to recognise these different groups for who they are, drawing upon the common past of the Ottoman period. 

This vision, which is heavily depend on Turkey's historical legacy, is a recurring theme which is being played out across the former lands of the Empire, notably Syria and Egypt of late. It is viewed by some as "Turkish interference" in other countries' internal affairs. What remains to be seen is how serious is this message being considered? This vision is destined to fail if it the diversity of cultures, languages, different religions of both the Balkans and the Middle East is deliberately ignored. 


Footnote:

1.Ahmet Davutoğlu wrote a paper in 1997, " THE CLASH OF INTERESTS: AN EXPLANATION OF THE WORLD (DIS)ORDER", in which he described the following:
The collapse of the Soviet system has strengthened the strategic position of the Muslim world from the following perspectives:

 (iii) the geographical link of Muslim communities in the Balkans (Bosnia-Albania-Kosova-Macedonia-Western Thrace) has become a significant regional access for
Muslims to reach Europe;

2b. Having ruled for the better part of six centuries as the Ottoman empire, Turkey as a post-imperial successor state has now come to demand a certain level of respect in its international dealings. p23, Getting to Zero Report,The Transatlantic Academy.

one way street of superiority

Hagia Sophia  article

































  

Hagia Sophia had served as a Christian church for hundreds of years before Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. (In fact nearly a 1000 years).
 It would not be the last conversion from church to mosque in Turkey in recent times.

In recent weeks it was announced that the Monastery of Stoudios — the largest Byzantine-era monastery in Istanbul — would be converted into a mosque next year.
It is indeed a litmus test being played by the Turkish authorities to gauge the reaction internally as well as internationally.   It must be remembered that this is just one episode of the "path towards a more Islamification" of the country, specifically a more conservative Sunni trend.

It is certainly a great example of the double standards being applied, mostly on the part of the Turkish authorities, who have a track record in shedding crocodile tears and exclaiming "outrage" at the lack of progress with mosque building, (latest round being directed at Athens), while openly supporting a stronger Islamic ethos throughout the country; to the detriment of other religious minorities.

Religions equality in Turkey is very difficult to define as it is Sunni Islam that dominates and holds sway.  Religious minorities including Orthodox, Catholics, Armenians, Protestants, Syriacs Christians, Jews,and Alevi Muslims face restrictions & regular discrimination

FOOTNOTE

The uttered word - free

- to speak about the benefits of Islam.

 See this example: Call to Islam in Piccadilly Circus | Abu Shafi (video link)


1. Any Islamic individual, religious leader or scholar can take advantage of free speech in "the West" to spread their own version of morality, Islamic style.  To the uninitiated, the Islamic rulebook and morality is enshrined in the Sharia. 

2. It's called freedom of speech when Islamic organisation can widely and freely distribute literature, release press releases, organise conferences and organise protests that promote the superiority of Muslims over others - the non-Muslims, commonly known in the Quran as non-believers.  (Otherwise known as kuffar by Muslims themselves).


  "religious apartheid" 

3. The core of Sharia and Islamic texts contain practices & harsh pushiments which would not be considered as "conducive to promoting human rights" in any of the "Western" societies.  Take the example of stoning or amputation of limbs. Another Islamic acceptable is marriage of young girls of 6 and 9 years ago.Yes- this is enshrined in Islamic jurisprudence.

4. Islam covers both religion and politics, it is hence an ideology.  The strict Islamic practices that encompass the Quran, Sunna and Hadiths are to be found in Saudi Arabia or Iran - Islamic theocracies. Imagine the scene if a Christian tried to argue against  Abu Shafi, not in Central London but Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That would an impossible feat to do there as there is no is public practice of other religions other than the Wahabi version of Islam. Certain parts of the Islamic texts actually command believers to hate Christians, Jews, polytheists and other "non-believers".
  5. Embedded in Islamic texts is the gratuitous promotion of violence, which often directed at "non-believers".   Imams are known to give bigoted, hateful sermons, not only in mosques but also in the media and on the internet.  These Islamic scholars are permitted to do so in Western societies, as such societies value freedom and tolerance.  It is ironic that to actually point this out can often result in outright denial or being branded racist, bigoted or Islamophobe. 

6.There is a complete lack of gratitude and tolerance for other beliefs in Islam. This is evident by the fact that there is an increasing unwillingness by incoming immigrants from Islamic countries to earnestly adapt, try to blend in, sincerely respect and conform to the law, cultures and practices of their new host countries. Think of FGM, it is deemed a traditional religious and cultural practice by many in the Muslim community in the West.
 
7. Violence, vandalism and dishonesty are the watchword of certain Islamic groups. When confronted with the unsavoury aspects of Islam, particularly the promotion of extreme violence, the message being given - "nothing to see, move along and ignore it" by those in authorities, (politically, religiously or law enforcement/ legal). Trying to refute this is a difficult process, but search on the internet for examples of the placards that are waved at Islamic demonstrations, to get a sense of perspective.  No doubt there will be some who freely brandish signs that clearly read “burn and kill the infidels, "death to Jews" etc...


hypocrisy 

 8.When highly unsavoury Islamic texts are cited, to criticize them is often entails ending up offending the sensibility of the Muslims, whether real or perceived.  The response can be very vindictive, nasty and brutal, even only in words. Islamic leaders & organisations regularly come across as being arrogant, demanding, and belligerent, especially when unsavoury aspects of the Islamic ideology is published.  It is seems that to be "easily offended" is just a one-way street.

 9. Tolerance for non-Muslim culture and practice is paper thin in most of Islamic societies. It is the non-Muslims who are the losers.  Imagine the uproar if an Iman was killed in cold blood in a Western countries.  When it is happens to a Christian bishop in an Islamic country...the authorities play dumb. [See video - “People are Sick and Tired of the One-Way Street Tolerance Babble Which You Feed On”]

10. Let's cut the diatribe of the current mindset of wholeheartedly supporting the integration and assimilation of certain Islamic communities, trying to put the blame elsewhere.  It doesn't matter how well intended this kind of support is, it is futile to believe that it is worthwhile cause.    It must not be a "one-way" street of tolerance, respect and freedom. There are well-organised groups that actually exploit the virtues of the West's tolerance and value for freedom to further the ideological and cultural dominance of their imported societies.  

Judge for yourself- straight from the horse's mouth..

the uttered word - unbalanced vandalism



Take the example of this recent case of vandalism that took place in Germany.

On the night to Thursday, the Arabic words “Allahu Akbar” were painted on the portals of several churches in the city centre of Augsburg. According to local police, the Cathedral, the Church of St. Maurice and the Protestant Ullrich Church are affected. At the Cathedral both the north and the south portals were painted with white letters. Hard to imagine a mosque would have been affected. Claudia Roth (Member of Parliament for the Green Party) probably would have organized a candlelight vigil in her hometown because of an “Islamophobic attack” and would have called for an alliance against fascism. However, it were churches, and thus, that “little night time graffiti prank” is only worth small footnotes in the newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine (with photos) and the broadcasting centre BR and will soon be forgotten.
 

(Original in german / Translation: Carpe Diem) - PI

Now take a moment to compare this mindless act of ideological intolerance, so carefully labelled as  as a minor affair, a prank, with recent media articles on mosque vandalism.

ABC Australia mosque

US mosque article 

The language used is completely different, it is direct and to the point: 
  • AIR-Philadelphia Executive Director Jacob Bender. "The unfortunately growing promotion of Islamophobia in our society can and does lead to such troubling incidents."
  • " The attack has been condemned by local political leaders."
Unfortunately, hysteria is often whipped up or charges are levelled of Islamic hate crimes or simply Islamophobia.  When the reverse happens, acts of vandalism inspired by a blinkered and hateful brand of ideology'; when written in Arabic or directed at non-believers, is dismissed by religious and political leaders as simply a non-news event.  Where does this kind of mentality leads us?  Is is this supposed to be the price for "interfaith dialogue" and "multiculturalism"?  

Indeed there is a growing problem of "ignorance is bliss" on the part of local and national authorities, who tend to sweep acts of Islamic inspired acts of aggressiveness under the rug. In many instances, such cases of vandalism, attacks on property and on people gets unreported. Likewise, the  origin of the perpetrators are often camouflaged by the media or police under the cover of " south-east Europeans, Asians or Middle Eastern" individuals".  It is a case of "don't rock the boat". I fear that this plays directly into the hands of those who espouse this hatred of non-believers, firmly entrenching the mentality of " I can do I whatever I want", " I can get away with it", "I've got my rights covered". 

Now please could more people stand for the OTHERS!  Why are we allowing an extreme minority to dictate the terms in the name of the rest, (the majority)?

Remember what starts off by minor acts of vandalism, when done in the name of hate and ideology, can grow into something bigger and nastier in nature.  We don't have to go far into the history archive to see this. 

Let's move away from Europe, aka the West and see what is happening in other parts of the world.   Syria - destruction of churches, Nigeria, Tanzania, Egypt... the same is happening, all done in the name of "Allah".  If no one in Europe cares a hoot about a simple church, where's the outcry on the mayhem, death and destruction of centuries old places of worships and the worshippers themselves.  There is a deafening silence on this.  The only event that triggered an international outcry was the explosive demolition of the Bayam Buddhas by the Taliban in Afghanistan.  Personally I think it was more of a whimper and a squeak.

Vandalism and destruction of places of worships isn't limited to non-Islamic places.   The Wahabi / Salafi mindset, promoted at great length by the Wahabi "hq" called Saudi Arabia is lending itself to the promotion of a greater number acts of destruction of "non-conforming buildings"  across the globe, notably Sufi shrines in Libya, Tunisia, Kashmir, Mali and recently in Syria. Why? To quote from an BBC article: "Hardline Salafists regard the shrines as idolatrous." The destruction in Libya was sufficiently serious enough for HRW to issue a press release,  where Eric Goldstein from HRW stated the following: “Inaction and impunity can only encourage further attacks.” These words are apt given the inaction and the impunity that is occurring across Europe and the West to a growing trend of not just acts of vandalism but of violence too.  It is a systematic trend that is growing month by month and the ripples will be felt more widely and more frequently.








No discussion but aggression

EUROPOL report 2012



Here is a brief overview of the report.  It makes interesting reading.

 



According the report produced by Europol:

·         Arrests related to religiously inspired terrorism increased from 122 to 159 in 2012. In France, the number of arrests in this category nearly doubled from 46 to 91;

·         The trafficking and sale of the drug known as ‘khat’ report -reportedly offers a funding stream for the Somalia-based Harakat al-Shabab al-Mujahidin (HSM, Young Mujahidin Movement) terrorist organisation.

·         France had the most terrorist attacks and arrests.  186 and 125.  (Corse separatists springs to mind), followed by the UK, Ireland and Holland.

·         Europol definition – religiously inspired terrorism.   8 lives lost in 2012. Actually doesn’t include the Burgas attack in Burgaria!!!

·         The attack in Frankfurt is not considered to be terrorism under German law. 2 US service members were killed in March 2011.

·         8 attacks in Europe compared to 0 in 2011 and arrests increased from 122 in 2011 to 159.

·         EU citizens increasingly targeted for kidnapping by terrorist groups;

·         EU nationals continue to travel to regions such as the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia for terrorist purpose.

·         Interestingly the average age of individual arrested is decreasing over the years, from 32, 30 to 25 years old in 2012.

·         October 2012, a home-grown terrorist group responsible for a grenade attack against a kosher grocery in Paris(France) was dismantled whilst in the planning stages of further attacks against Jewish targets.

·         All members of the group were born in France and had been radicalised on the Internet. Most were converts to Islam. Their leader, who had several issues of the Inspire magazine, which is associated with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), and a leaflet justifying the actions of Mohammed Merah in his possession, died in an armed confrontation with police officers attempting to arrest him.

·         In March 2012, the murder of the imam of a Shi’i mosque in Brussels (Belgium) during an arson attack on the property may have been a consequence of tensions between Shi’is and Sunnis, exacerbated by the Syrian conflict.

·         "At the beginning of August 2012, Spanish security forces arrested three individuals on suspicion of intending to commit a terrorist attack in the EU. The suspects, two Russian citizens – one of Dagestani and the other of Chechen origin – and a Turkish national, had links to Afghani-Pakistani networks associated with al-Qaeda"

·         In April 2012, three males of Jordanian, Turkish and Egyptian origin were arrested in Denmark.

·       "  Whilst some of these individuals remain active primarily in online environments, a number have transitioned towards preparing acts of terrorism beyond the confines of the Internet. One such example was the arrest, in March 2012, of a 20-year-old Moroccan national in Italy on suspicion of plotting an attack against a synagogue in Milan. The subject had been particularly active on the Internet, using at least eight social media profiles accessible only through a complex series of controls that he had created."
·       
     Another  example occurred in April, when an Italian citizen (a convert to Islam), who had been actively engaged in spreading terrorist propaganda via the Internet as well as documents ontraining in the use of weapons and explosives, was arrested. Neither of these individuals belonged to any structured organisation, they merely shared the same ideology.


Breakdown of failed attacks

It is not obvious if it is Islamic or not.~~~~~
91 failed attacks in France, 4 (attacks)
16 in Italy
15 in Romania
8 in Spain and UK in Belgium, (2 attacks)
7 in Holland
6 in Germany
2 in Danmark & Finland
1 in Poland, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Austria

The report then covers kidnapping of Europeans  (North Africa, Nigeria, Yemen, Sahel, Philippines, Syria and Kenya).  Islamic in nature

Other noteworthy comments include:

·         Members of the Millatu Ibrahim group – proscribed in Germany in 2012 – emigrated from Europe to relocate in Egypt and Libya, from where they have disseminated messages in German, inciting acts of terrorism.

·         Ongoing terrorism in Libya. (continues to be unstable).

·         The turmoil in Syria and Yemen, and the uncertain future political landscape in Egypt and Libya, have had significant effects on how terrorist groups present their struggle and justify their violent actions, in particular those committed to the idea of a global ‘jihad’ as promoted by al-Qaeda andits affiliates.

The report covers foreign fighters in Islamic conflicts.
               
·         An attack in Bulgaria claimed the lives of seven people in July 2012. At the time of writing the responsibility for this attack was not determined, although indications suggest possible links to Hezbollah.

 Islamophobia  is mentioned in the report - Chapter 5 P37
Several incidents in 2012 were linked to perceptions by right-wing extremists that increasing immigration and the alleged growth of Islam in Europe were threats to national culture and values.
In Germany, in 2012, a small right-wing extremist party organised a series of demonstrations in front of different mosques, as well as a defamatory cartoon competition. Confrontations between members of the group and salafists resulted in violent clashes.

Whereas right-wing extremist political parties are unlikely to orchestrate serious violent offences against Muslims, it is assessed that such events may incite certain participants to commit criminal offences.

In the UK, recent anti-Islamic protests have led to a rapprochement between the right-wing extremist scene and the English Defence League (EDL) as well as its splinter groups. This is mirrored elsewhere, with the EDL and its counterpart ‘defence leagues’ in other EU Member States linking up with right-wing extremist groups.

In March 2012, anti-Islamic activists gathered in the Danish city of Aarhus in an attempt to form a European anti-Islamic movement consisting of separate organisations from across the EU. This ‘European Counter-Jihad Meeting’ was attended by ‘defence leagues’ from countries including the UK, France, Poland and the Scandinavian countries, in addition to groups such as Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE).

right-wing terrorism

The Aarhus rally, organised by the EDL, was attended by between 160 and 200 supporters. Another event took place in August 2012 in Stockholm (Sweden). Representatives of anti-immigration groups from the EU, the US and Canada participated in this so-called first ‘Annual Global Counter- Jihad’ rally.

l'indiscutabilité

Les principaux problèmes que l'islam a avec lui-même sont ceux de l'indiscutabilité de ses textes et de la place des femmes.

A lire la suite. ICI

Survey France & Islam


Sondage survey Le Monde

 In a nutshell:
C'est un avertissement à l'islam ; l'idée que l'islam a un problème avec lui-même et qu'il a du mal à se régénérer."
It is a warning to Islam, the notion that Islam has a problem with itself and it has difficulties to progress.
Abdennour Bidar



39% of those interviewed found Islam to be very intolerant, with another 35% who found it to be rather intolerant as a religion. Compare this to Judaism,  10% found it to be very intolerant & 24% rather intolerant, ( are they fascists or Muslims themselves?).

It is very noticeable that only Islam has such a negative image, not Catholics nor Judaism.

Compatibility with French society values:
(Comparison made according to political party viewpoints)
Islam wins hands down as being not compatible at all with French society..  From 94% Front  nationale (what only 94%, the others obviously didn't read the FN script?), with lowest figure being 59%, the Socialists.  No kidding!

Integration
77% of the respondents felt that there is a very serious issue, that is growing and that has to be addressed in a serious manner.


What would you say that the  proportion in France  of "integristes" who are Muslims represent?
1% none
10% the majority
44% just a part
45% a very small minority

And comes the best bit
8 out of 10 respondents  believe that Islam seeks to impose its values on others!

To quote from the survey:

61 % des sympathisants de gauche et 66 % des moins de 35 ans jugent que l'islam n'est pas compatible avec les valeurs républicaines.... 


Amazing!!!!!

Part 1

She said: ‘My son told me (the kidnapping was) to make him a Muslim.
‘He said that we lack the morality and the values that their system has. And he said that Americans were so violent, he said we are a rotting society.’

The son was kidnapped and forced to live as a Muslim by his ex dad.   His dad who cheated on his wife and is wanted by the US State Dept for using forged documents to get a passport. 

Part 2 

This is  the " moral, upstanding" Egyptian (Islamic) society that is responsible for the deaths, pogroms, violence, abductions against Coptic Christians. There has always been violence against Christians, however this has dramatically increased  since the election of the Muslim Brotherhood Egyptian president Morsi. The Copts remain dedicated to their faith.

Notice that it is usual for the Globa Media Network to refer to the violence as "clashes" or "tensions", implying that both sides are at fault, which is clearly not the case.  In the latest outbreak, worshipers were leaving a church, after Christian funerals for previous victims of this Islamic  hatred.  This is a visible demonstration of the level of pure unadulterated hatred by Muslims for Christians in Egypt. 




"There is a general feeling among citizens about the absence of law and the prestige of the state," said a report released Wednesday by the Egyptian National Council for Human Rights. "Such a feeling could push the citizens to the violence and sectarianism without fearing from any deterrence, " reads a passage from the report.

"The recent incident proved the shrinking of the role of the state to control the actions of the individuals especially those people who think that they talk on the behalf of God," the report continued. "There is a need for implementing the law strictly to treat such incidents.”
