Disregarding certain aspects

by Anonyme - 11/10/2011 - 13:45

Having just read several chapters of Mr. Caldwell's book, I must say that he seems to disregard several aspects of the Muslim way of life in Europe. Most of the exemplified incidents are not caused by the individuals involved in them being Muslims but merely because they are living in almost segregated communities with certain basic rights not granted; or they do not have equality of opportunity to obtain these rights. He might not have started out to be the author of a bedside book for European rightists, but his reasoning seems to me as a very polished Hitleresque style. Ignoring the existence, history and contributions of Muslims and Islam in Europe is a giant ignorance that Caldwell seems to have taken on. Rather than just getting statistical data and referring to incidents from outside, he better get on his way to the European countries with majority of Muslim communities dwelling.

Congratulations on finally posting an interview with an islamo-realist instead of the succession of dhimmis you have presented so far.
