"The meeting will investigate the "roots of intolerance towards Muslims...'" Will the violence committed by Muslims in the name of Islam be on the agenda as one of the contributing factors, and possibly the most important contributing factor, of this intolerance? Will the imperialistic boasts by Muslim leaders about the impending Islamic conquest of Europe be on the agenda?
I doubt that either one will be discussed. But why not?
From the FOCUS News Agency (thanks to Twostellas):
Madrid. Discrimination and intolerance towards Muslims will be the subject of an October 9-10 conference in the Spanish city of Cordoba under the aegis of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), organisers said Friday, quoted by AFP.The meeting will investigate the "roots of intolerance towards Muslims, the consequences and the role of the media," a Spanish Foreign Ministry statement read.
Spain currently holds the presidency of the OSCE and Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos will chair the meeting....
Greetiings:
This isn't the same Spain where the Islamists blew up all those trains, is it?
Also on the agenda, Naziphobia? commiphobia? Is the fear of Naziism, and communisiam unfounded? after all majority of these people were peaceful and law abiding. only the few bad nazis and communists spoiled it for all the rest? how about KKKphobia? ....only a few bad KKKr's actually killed anyone. the rest peqaceful, law abiding. As for me I have pitbull phobia, I won't go near a pitbull dog, are my fears unfounded?
What a laugh... the MSM not pandering to the Jihadist propaganda system. Goebbels would have been in paradise had the MSM been helping the Nazi the way they shill for the terrorist.
I gather then they speak of the free flow of information on the Internet instead. Something these pathetic want to be tyrants fear the most.
Will some one please take the money away from these useless, deceptive, ignorant bureaucrats?
Please!
We should not be paying any kind of salary to keep their Dhimmi carcasses moving.
The meeting will investigate the "roots of intolerance towards Muslims"
Ah, ya the roots are well known, that would be Islam.
A farce like this should be held in Madrid, down by the train tracks.
The meeting will investigate the "roots of intolerance towards Muslims"
It's the KKKoran, stupid!
Once again an unelected, and therefore *illegitimate* political body will spew forth a lot of hot air which will unfortunately be a threat to find its way into some EU-wide Law which will only serve to curtail National Law, which at least is made by elected officials subject to being held accountable via the vote.
So when they know they are doing unpopular stuff, ie. actring like dictators, they form EU commissions and the like.
This OSCE is an even shadier body who are subject to noone - therefore noone should be subject to them!
Some for the UN. All they serve as is as a strongarm for Third-Worldism against the Western Nations.
I am for a return to local Democracy everywhere.
I really had to resist the urge to write some of this in caps for emphasis.
Most of you can guess where the caps might should go.
(PLEASE POST THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AT OTHER WEBSITES)
The U.S. Senate Project (an initiative to increase congressional awareness of the nature and goals of jihad) currently has 85 volunteers in 39 states.
WE ARE STILL SEEKING ADDITIONAL CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS FROM ALL 50 STATES, ESPECIALLY THE FOLLOWING 12:
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Kansas
Mississippi
Montana
North Dakota
Oklahoma
South Dakota
Vermont
West Virginia
Wyoming
THE PROJECT: We're looking for people in every state of the Union who would be willing to purchase, from Amazon or any other source, a copy of Robert Spencer's new book Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is And Islam Isn't and mail it, on an agreed upon date, to one of the senators in your state. We want to get the book simultaneously to all 100 senators, in order to send a strong message. If we get more than two people per state, books can also be sent to the U.S. House of Representatives.
If you'd like to participate (or you just have questions), please write to me at traehnam@yahoo.com under the subject heading "Senate," and tell me the state your senator represents, and a nickname. No need for your real name. And I will never share your email address with anyone, not even with other volunteers for this project.
And visit jihadawareness.blogspot.com to get more info on this project and to leave comments other volunteers can read. You can also see there the growing list of participants in this project, and the states their senators represent. I've also designed a graphic that might amuse. Scroll down when you get to the site.
Once we have at least two people from every state, we can agree on a mailing date and then each of us can mail a copy of the book on that date.
Right before each of us mails the book, we can issue a press release to various media outlets in every state, and in that way announce and explain the mailing. And perhaps we can come up with some other ways of maximizing the effectiveness of this project and gaining as much positive attention as possible.
One of the project's volunteers suggested contacting Rep. Sue Myrick, who started the Anti-Jihad Caucus in Congress. I'll try to coordinate this project with Rep. Myrick. I've also been calling various congressional offices to get advice on how best to proceed.
No need to go all the way to Spain for an event like this, when one is being held next Thursday at Georgetown University in our own national capital, at John Esposito's Saudi-funded "Center fof Muslim-Christian Understanding":

Same Spain that was under Islamic rule for centuries
Just like anyone cares what the OSCE has to say.
The OSCE is an unelected body which is used by the Left in much the same manner in which they use activist judges. When they KNOW they can't win the public debate, ie. votes, they go to some group like the ACLU, who then challenge the result of popular voting in court. See Prop 187 in California a few years ago.
In Europe they're creating a Fascist for of Federalism.. a legion of unelected - and thus answerable to noone - officials who create Laws which serve to undermine National Laws on a Europe-wide level.
No wonder there is such loathing of Brussels and the Eu now!
The poloticians have noone to blame but their greedy arrogant fascist selves for this.
"roots of intolerance towards Muslims..."
-- from the article above
The "roots of intolerance towards Muslims" exist in the Qur'an, Hadith, and Sira, in those passages which non-Muslims (and some Muslims, who jettison the faith openly or secretly) now can read, and do read, and are understandably horrified by, especially the more they study the matter, including acquiring an understanding of what the Muslim jurisconsults and other commentators say, and find out about the treatment under the Shari'a or Holy Law of Islam, of non-Muslims.
If, in addition, they begin to study sthe 1350-year history of Islamic conquest of non-Muslim lands and the subsequent subjugation (or sometimes mass murder) of non-Muslims, they become further alarmed -- and, if they have their wits about them, will certainly become just as "intolerant" of Islam as those apostates who know it, are morally and intellectually superior to others, and who, horrified, leave it and nowadays, can do so in the West, and can even have their voices magnified through public appearances and through publication.
To study both the doctrine of Islam, and how that doctrine has been put in practice in time and space -- or even just to read what is going on in the world from southern Thailand to southern Sudan to Madrid, London, Amsterdam, Beslan, Jerusalem, New York, Washington -- is of course to become "intolerant" of Islam. "Tolerance" is not always and everywhere a virtue, though some apparently think it is. "Tolerance" of certain ideologies, and of the way those ideologies work out in practice --- let's begin with Hitler and Stalin, not forgetting the millions who supported both -- is not admirable, but deplorable. The dreamy belief that because there are more than a billion Muslims Islam cannot be quite what it appears to be, from both the texts and tenets, and from its long history in time and space, and because Islam is called, faute de mieux, a "religion" (it is far more than that), it cannot be an object of our "intolerance" because we simply must be "tolerant" of all religions -- this is an Article of Faith in the Church of Interfaith Harmony, along with such other articles as Everyone Wants The Same Thing and Everyone Has A Right To Live Anywhere They Want and No One Has A Right To Stop It.
The Church of Heavenly Interfaith Harmony. Step right up folks, and join it now.
if they want to find the roots of intolerance towards Muslims all they have to do is look in the Koran and see Muslim intolerance towards non-Muslims
is this the same OSCE, formerly CSCE, that brought communism to its knees?? god help us.

That would be refreshing, wouldn't it?
Instead, I would expect to hear from the types of folks who call in to CBC Radio and explain quite seriously that Muslims in Canada today are treated exactly the same way that Jews were treated in Germany in the Second World War.
The roots of intolerance towards Muslims???
9-11,
Beslan
the Madrid bombings,
the London bombings,
etc. etc. ad infinitum
This bizarre cult of tolerance is suicidal.
Someone should ask Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos if he would show the same "tolerance" towards rapists, cannibals, pedophiles, and so on?
They might start with themselfs! When they choose to kill sht happens! If they stop, it stops! They choose it! Chose it!
