Reply #8: I'm sorry but this is bullshit [View All]

1) Jyllands Posten is about as RW then the WP. For people from antiwar, anybody who doesn't subscribe to a communist or socialist paper is a fascist

2) what Rose says isn't controversial, except for left-wing extremists :

"we are given a long disquisition on his subject's view of "militant Islam" as a threat supposedly on a par with communism and fascism – again, uncritically, in spite of the lack of proportion evinced by such an extravagant claim"

3) "About the question of integration and how compatible is the religion of Islam with a modern secular society – how much does an immigrant have to give up and how much does the receiving culture have to compromise."

what's wrong with that ? antiwar forgets that European societies are secular societies and cannot accept that exceptions to common laws and rules are made in some religion's name : islamic militants have been the ONLY group to ask for those changes for example in schools. The most preposterous example was a trial in Sweden of an iraqui shiite for the beating to death of his daughter (she was dating a young white Swede) : his defense was "you cannot judge me because my religion and my culture allows it".

4) 'Religious feelings cannot demand special treatment in a secular society,' he added. 'In a democracy one must from time to time accept criticism or becoming a laughingstock.'"

yep that one of the fundamentals of a democratic society : separation of Church and State



in other words : antiwar does as usual : sides with the fanatics. Yesterday Saddam, today the Mollahs.
