Mosques in Europe – Where’s the Reciprocity?

President Obama mentioned reciprocity: mutual respect between Muslim world and America. Not much reciprocity in Europe, where some governments are already putting up white flags as clever Islamists attack their basic institutions. Diana West (townhall.com) worries that French schools no longer teach authors deemed offensive to Muslims (Voltaire, Diderot, Darwin), and, of course, history of the Holocaust.
She notes that the British government "cravenly elevated five Sharia courts to the level of tribunal hearings, making their rulings legally binding." The first verdicts upheld male supremacy - inheritance that gives girls half of the inheritance of boys - and they dismissed several domestic violence charges. Sharia permits wife beating.
The French city of Tours was the historic capital of the French king, Charles Martel, who in the 7th century turned back the Muslim invasion that had overrun Spain. Because of this, Europe did not become Muslim. The only European who apparently regretted that Muslim loss was Hitler, who said so to his allies in the Arab world.
Now Tours is the recipient of money from the French government (as well as Algeria and Saudi Arabia) to construct one of the largest mosques in France. While this is very generous (and politically correct) of France, Algeria is shutting down Christian churches because they might try to convert Algerians - and in Saudi Arabia, Christianity is illegal. In almost all Muslim countries, Judaism may not be practiced either.
The French Ministry of the Interior lists 1,500 places of worship, including 400 mosques. Here "mosques" means any places of worship. Prisons are another locus for active Islamist conversion. According to Walid Phares, who has been talking with French counterterrorism people, a terrorist cell from Central Asia was picked up in France where they were getting military training. French Interior Minister, Michele Alliot-Marie, said that 90 Islamic activists were arrested in France in 2007. She notes that French (and American) prisons are incubators for Islamist recruitment and conversions, as are French suburban ghettos.
The ministry has compiled a "handbook on Islamism" to be used inside prisons so that authorities can detect the growth of Jihadist ideology. They watch airline passenger lists and destinations such as Pakistan or Yemen - and watch those going through Switzerland to avoid detection. Security trumps political correctness in France now - except for building mosques.
England is less clever. Despite the good work of British intelligence and police, the courts and elitist clamor keep them from effectively protecting themselves. And in London an enormous mosque is being built which upsets many Londoners, but apparently not the government. They did better in the 19th century when they refused to give religious toleration to Catholicism until the Pope of the time finally recognized Protestantism as a legal religion in Catholic countries. Islam must be treated the same way. Apparently Moscow believes the same; despite a rising number of Muslims there, there will be no more mosques until the Saudis reciprocate.
England's concerns in earlier centuries were that Catholic churches and their priests were spreading insurgency - and there was truth in it. Queen Elizabeth I knew that she was on a Papal assassination list and should they succeed, England would suffer an Inquisition like that in Spain. Today, many Europeans know that Mosques are hotbeds of militant Islamism and active conversion campaigns and are dangerous.
But grim as this all seems, the Jihadi dream of taking over the world and forcing us all under some mythical Caliphate looks more and more the realm of fantasy. There will continue to be suicide bombers and mosques that recruit clueless young men and send them off to "Muslim education" in Yemen or Pakistan and military training in Sudan or Somalia. However, this really is the last hurrah of an ideology that is quickly heading for the trash heap of history. They have nothing to offer but death, destruction, and fantasies of a hyper-sexualized afterlife, and more Muslims know and reject it. This is not enough to create a civilization. Charles Martel needn't turn over in his grave.

It never was and people knew it but I suppose it is the pressure of petro dollars that keeps the governments under saudi leash which is in a way ironic given that if the saudi's do not sell oil. they will starve because they can't grow their own food apart from some desert crap.

Jesus surrendered his will to the Will of his Creator (Allah):
“Jesus says: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father.” (John 5:30)
So, he was a true Muslim! Praise be to God!
Jesus didn’t want to die! He was crying on the cross to his Creator Eloi (Allah in Arabic):
Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" - which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34)
His Creator Allah saved him from his enemies:
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise. (Quran 4:157-158)

The Islamic solution of the Christian Holy Trinity:
Father = God the Creator;
Son (Jesus) = Prophet of God (Matthew 21:11, Luke 24:19);
Holy Ghost = Arch Angel Gabriel.
So, the mystery of the Holy Trinity is solved!

Jesus didnt submit to Alah as he never spoke Arabic. Allah is a word stlen from the Hindus and thus is a Hindu word. We see it as an Arabic word because Allah of Himndu fame is now your God with no name.
If Arabic was so great, why was Moses a Hebrew. Jews didnt speak Arabic.
Useful idiots Arabs make of all converts. That is why they made naming themselves Arabic names seem so great. All the while it is Arabs imposing their form of politics in the name of religion.
Hitler loved Islam and Obama ancestors hated Christianity because Jesus said love your enemies and Muhammad said kill them. That fit Hitler and Obama's family reall great.
Moses was told that God's
Moses was told that God's name was Jehovah not Allah. Arabs were around back then, but the Jews had a name for God and so did the Arabs. Sin and Hubal and Ba'AL were just a few. All pagan names for a pagan god.
btilly: [Jesus said love
btilly:
[Jesus said love your enemies and Muhammad said kill them. That fit Hitler and Obama’s family reall great.]
Hitler was a true follower of your lord Jesus. He was a true Christian! He killed 6 million Jews according to the instruction of your lord Jesus. Your lord loves all those enemies and criminals of humanity like Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Bin Laden, etc. and hates good and kind people like Buddha and Gandhi!

Christian God Jesus teaches hate.
You cannot be a disciple of Jesus if you hate not your father, mother, wife, children, brethern, sisters, etc.:
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)

Christian God Jesus said, witches must be put to death:
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed." (Exodus 22:18-20)
Kill the children:
"Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works." (Revelation 2:22-23)

That's what the Jewish Talmud says about your lord Jesus! You mental slave!
Hitler was a true Christian.
Hitler was a true Christian. He killed 6 million Jews in the name of Christian God, i.e. Jesus. Stalin was from Christian background. Both of them are the greatest terrorist and mass murderer in the human history. Mussolini was a Christian. Bush is a Christian. He invaded Iraq in the name of Christian God, i.e. Jesus, and killed millions of people. Crusaders were true Christians. They killed millions of people. And a LOT more... So, Christian history is nothing but terrorism, mass murder, and bloodshed.

Don't take pictures of police
Don't take pictures of police running away from Muslim Mob.
Daily News 27 January 2009
Taking photos of police officers could be considered a crime
The relationship between photographers and police could worsen next month when new laws are introduced that allow for the arrest and imprisonment of anyone who takes pictures of officers 'likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism'.
Set to become law on 16 February, the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 amends the Terrorism Act 2000 regarding offences relating to information about members of armed forces, a member of the intelligence services, or a police officer.
The new set of rules, under section 76 of the 2008 Act and section 58A of the 2000 Act, will target anyone who 'elicits or attempts to elicit information about [members of armed forces] … which is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism'.
A person found guilty of this offence could be liable to imprisonment for up to 10 years, and to a fine.
The law is expected to increase the anti-terrorism powers used today by police officers to stop photographers, including press photographers, from taking pictures in public places. 'Who is to say that police officers won’t abuse these powers,' asks freelance photographer Justin Tallis, who was threatened by an officer last week.
Tallis, a London-based photographer, was covering the anti-BBC protest on Saturday 24 January when he was approached by a police officer. Tallis had just taken a picture of the officer, who then asked to see the picture. The photographer refused, arguing that, as a press photographer, he had a right to take pictures of police officers.
According to Tallis, the officer then tried to take the camera away. Before giving up, the officer said that Tallis 'shouldn’t have taken that photo, you were intimidating me'. The incident was caught on camera by photojournalist Marc Vallée.
Tallis is a member of the National Union of Journalists and the British Press Photographers’ Association. 'The incident lasted just 10 seconds, but you don’t expect a police officer to try to pull your camera from your neck,' Tallis tells BJP.

My father who spoke Sindhi,
My father who spoke Sindhi, Multani, Panjabi, Pushto and Urdu fluently - the languages spoken by Muslims of the Indian Sub-Continent, he understood the mentality of Muslims very well.
He used to say about Muslims, "first a Muslim will ask you to give him your wallet, you give him your wallett willingly - then he will ask you for your wedding ring, you take off your ring and hand it over to him - then he will ask you for your coat, you give him that too - after that he will ask you for your sweater, well reluctantly you give that to him too - then he will ask you for your shirt, you hand over your shirt to him - then the Muslim will ask you for your undershirt, you are shivering but you give it to him hoping he will leave you alone - then the Muslim will demand that you take off your pants, you are ashamed but you do take off your pants and hand it over to him - now he wants your underwear. you have no choice, you take off your underwear and hand it over to him, hoping that now he, surely will let you go - Muslim is laughing at you and now he wants your skin.
When I started working, there
When I started working, there was this guy called Bill (not his real name) who told such atrocious stories about people. At first everyone was indignant. After a while we realised that Bill was (how shall I put it) ‘not all together there’. In the end nobody paid any attention to him. In fact, at the mention of his name, people would have this strange smile on their face.
When normal people like u & me, post something, it carries weight and we are taken seriously. But when the village idiot posts anything, we all laugh and don’t believe in it.
If i were to curse his mother by saying she must surely be a half-brained muslima who was raped by who knows who because of the end-product we have here, everyone would agree.
On the other hand, if he were to retaliate in a similar fasion, no one would believe that village idiot because he/she has no credibility.
You don’t believe me? Well, give it a try the next time that village idiot spams again.
Cheers
ps - there is a belief held by the muslims that if 40 people curse someone, it comes true.
I must commend Dr. Laina
I must commend Dr. Laina Farhat-Holzman for writing this timely article. This is a major cause of strife in the world, the intransigence of Muslims. Muslims know only how to take.
According to their ideology, the everything belongs to Muslims even if it is owned by you and me. Non-Muslims built this world with their sweat. The credit for the most of scientific achievements and technological innovations go to the Westerners. It is the people of the West, India, China and Japan who built the wealth. But Muslims feel it really belongs only to Muslims. If it is in the hands of the kaffirs, it just happens to be in the possession of the kaffirs, but the kaffirs are not the real owners, Muslims are.
So when Muslims come to our country and take our wealth, they are just re-possessing what really belongs to them in the first place. They are not stealing, we are the transgressor. Muslims were generous to let us enjoy the wealth while we could because it was not ours to begin with.
Muslims are the rightful owners of everything in the world, our wealth, our country, our land, it all belongs to Muslims. If it just happens to be in our hands, it does not mean its ours even if we worked for it. We cleared our land, made it fruitful, we turned the barren land into a green lush garden, it does not belong to us, it belongs to Muslims.
Muslims want to build mosques in our country, they are building mosques in the land which belongs only to Muslims even if they came here yesterday. Because we are living in this country it does not mean it belongs to us. Muslims are not giving us the right to build our churches and temples in their lands, the land does not belong to us, why should they.
They will never give us the reciprocal rights. The concept of reciprocacity does not exist in Islam.
Amin: The Bible says love.
Amin:
The Bible says love. No where in the Bible since Christ were people told to kill.
God said he would do the killing, not man. When Muhammad assaulted tribes watering their cattle, he was doing this for Allah the Devil, the greatest deceiver, schemer according to sura 3:54.
Amin: Hitler hated
Amin:
Hitler hated christians. Hitler killed 6 million Jews, but over 20 million christians. If he was a christian he had an Islamic way of showing it. No Muslims were killed. Why were no Muslims killed? Why did he do as the Mufti said do, kill Jews and christians. Hitler sexed his niece, incest like Muhammad did his dau. Hitler killed Jews and christians like Muhammad did.
Jesus is not God, so you lied again. You are so STUPID as Allah said. 72 big breasted white women and 28 white boys when you get tired of vaginal sex.
Now you know your men look forward to this. In fact, allah only promised men a good time! Women just look! they get no fun!
Keep lying on the true god. Satan loves lying and he is the greatest liar, schemer and anything you want him to be-the greatest baptizer, and Muslims dont baptize. How assisine!
