Yeah, gets you thinkin'... <<...Western liberals put their heads in the sand. They categorise Muslims in terms of race, under which they qualify for public entitlement. These liberals thus miss the crucial point — made by Fortuyn — that Islam is not a race, but a religion and a culture with distinctive values. And those are not liberal values. It is no accident that there is no Islamic liberal democracy anywhere in the world.>> <<Even today, the West does not grasp the nature of the threat from militant Islam, the latest chapter in an age-old struggle. But as Samuel Huntington observes in his seminal The Clash of Civilisations and the Remaking of World Order, Islam is again on the march; and the threat it poses is hugely enhanced by the decay of the West from within through moral decline, political disunity and cultural suicide.>>

Mr. Branisteanu In one of your previous post, you claimed that your parents were Holocaust survivors. I wonder if they told you why Hitler managed to get away with killing six million Jews before he was stopped? Let me tell you why, because he managed to spread hate and fear among his people that they were blinded by it. That is exactly what you are doing here, spreading hate and fear about Muslims with your propaganda. You Mr. Branisteanu and your parents as survivors of such atrocity should know not to repeat what was done to you and your people. Spreading hate and fear about a Muslims is not going to solve the problem between the Israelis and Palestinians but is only going to develop resentment and hate towards Muslims. Obviously you are angry about what is happening in the world, but you can turn that anger to positive rather then destructive. So far on this thread I did not read a middle ground solution that the two people can live with. All that I read is one side wants to get rid of the other, which I find really sad. Thank you for taking the time to read my message and sorry if I offended you or anyone else. I do not wish to offend anyone, just a constructive opinion. Thanks Abdul

At first blush, the murdered Dutch maverick Pim Fortuyn and I would not appear to have been natural bedfellows. He was, after all, a flamboyant, post-Marxist, gay libertarian who advocated sexual permissiveness, casual drug use and euthanasia. I campaign for traditional family values, deeply oppose drug use and euthanasia, and do not employ a butler, wear a spaniel under my arm or smoke Cuban cigars. Isn't it amazing that most news reports have called fortuyn "far-right!" Other than immigration, he's a liberal.
