But note that even as Marie Arena acknowledges that radicals use mosques to recruit and plan activities, she has to assure us that this has nothing to do with genuine Islam. When, just by way of comparison, did you ever hear the media or a governing official assure the public that a case of sexual abuse by a priest had nothing to do with genuine Christianity?
Yet even that comparison is inexact, because Christianity doesn't teach sexual abuse, but there is abundant evidence that anti-Semitism (Qur'an 2:62-65, 5:59-60, 7:166, 9:30 etc.) and violence (Qur'an 9:5, 9:29, etc.) are not abuses of Islam at all. From Expatica, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
BRUSSELS - Belgian intelligence services are to investigate mosques suspected of promoting anti-Semitic and xenophobic messages, it has been revealed.The move was announced by Equal Opportunities Minister Marie Arena ... Arena played down the significance of the proposal on mosques in the action plan, arguing that it was no secret that mosques were often the target of fundamentalists....
The minister stressed that Islam as a religion had to be seen independently from Islamic extremism.
Would say this is due to Belgium's far right party,Vlaams Blok, scoring massive sucess in regional elections.Their policy on immigration is sorely needed all over Europe.
Forgive my stupidity, but I simply do not see how 'monitoring the mosques' will do any good at all. So the 'sermons' will become benign. They will still be reading from the Koran, and hearing 'kill the infidels wherever you find them.'
After the service, they can then gather at someone's home and plot to blow up a building.
The only answer for the West is to declare Islam to be an 'ism' like Communism or Nazi-ism, strip it of its 'religious' protections, and expel ever last Muslim. Not to do so is to allow a cancer to metastasize within our midst
Call me an Islamophobe if you wish, I care not. This is what we are working for at NoJihad. MAKE A DIFFERENCE: contact our government and let you voice be heard!

IN belgium they recently past a law or is the proces to pas the law ( I can´t rember excatly ;)) that racist people should have the capabilty to vote.
A short time ago a judge ruled that the Vlaams Blok is racist.
Not that I agree with the ruling, but is to show what is going on down there
When a NUKE explode in one of those European countries, I can't wait to see the reactions of the government officials' reaction.
But..but...but.. I thought Islam mean peace...
The truth is that these spineless maggots will still be apologizing for Islam even 1 or 2 of their cities get wiped out.

Think you have misunderstood my comments.Ruling Party in Belgium which aren't Vlaams Blok yet have been frightened by massive support for VB in regional elections. To counter Vlaams Blok, they've come up with the idea of Monitoring Mosques. Too little, too late, I say.

Little Belgie the land of chocolate soldiers is the only country in all of Europe with an effective, though ostracized, right wing party.
GO VLAAMS BLOK!
Come over here, to the USA, and show us how to do it.
