Christmas treats have been taken off a menu and replaced with ‘winter delicacies’ over fears the phrase would offend Muslims.
The West is under siege; the influx of Muslim migrants has been devastating throughout Europe. And while most European authorities are in full denial and appeasement mode like these Austrians, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has declared the upcoming year to be a year of “revolution” to match the Trump victory in America.
“Christmas BANNED from being mentioned on menu over fears it would offend Muslims,” by Jon Rogers, Express, December 22, 2016:
A function held at the Austrian embassy in Germany still served traditional festive fare such as Lebkuchen but rebranded them as ‘winter delicacies’.
The event was a presentation by the Chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, Aiman Mazyek, who has written the book What Do Muslims Do at Christmas?: Islamic Faith in Everyday Life in Germany.
The invitation to guests, from ambassador Nikolaus Marschik, was described as a “cosy get-together with winter delicacies.”
A reporter attending the event wanted to know exactly what the Austrians suddenly considered “winter delicacies” and asked the embassy for a clarification.
The ambassador then admitted that the traditional Christmas foods had been rebranded out of respect for Islam.
The Austrian embassy said the description was meant to include Lebkuchen, the local name for gingerbread usually served at Christmas, as well as Kipferln, a type of croissant, and beer and wine, and that the term had been chosen out of consideration for Islam.
Journalist Gunnar Schupelius said: “It is advent season, we are on the territory of the Austrian Republic, they invite Christians and Muslims for a talk about Christmas and offer Christmas delicacies that cannot be called Christmas delicacies.”
Ambassador Marschik admitted it was “a foolish mistake.”….

Shame on you Mr. ambassador.

No mention of Ferraro Rocher chocolates, then?
(An English joke)

Sleeerppphkh! Lick, lick! Yummy, yummy!

Muslims will be making their own holiday treats, like cute little santa IED’s.

From the land of THE SOUND OF MUSIC!!! Looks like the Austrian idiot is falling into the Nazi regime plan.. Why can not these enablers of terrorist, get their family killed or injured in this horror they force on their country men?? Seems to me they are safe in their Nazi shell of aiding the enemy… Again, just like the Sound of Music, based on a true story!!

Dhimmitude is being practiced voluntarily. They are submitting in before they are asked or forced to do so.
The lunatics in the Western ELITES are making decision regarding Islam without the requisite UNDERSTANDING of several Islamic doctrines: Dhimmitude, the kafir doctrine, the Al Walaa wal Baraa doctrine (Islamic apartheid from disbelievers), the taqiyya doctrine, the VERBAL JIHAD doctrine, the Islamic gender apartheid doctrine, Islamic anti-Semitism, the Islamic dualism doctrine (bait-and-switch doctrine).
Disinforming Western elites (for Islamic disinformation agents) is as easy as shooting ducks in a barrel, such is the monumental Pollyanna-ish NAIVETY of our miserably inadequate, Libtarded Western elites.
davej says
This is preemptive surrender – but why?
There is nothing evil or offensive about Christmas but there is plenty of evil in the intolerance of Islam. The clue is the “fear” of offending Muslims, a feeling not rooted in respect for a deep tradition of spirituality but rather in a realistic recognition of the abiding threat of violence that is the core of Islamism.
It pretends to be a religion but is no better than a street gang of violent psychopaths.
Debi Brand says
“There is nothing evil or offensive about Christmas .”
To those who hold the “sacred texts” of Islam as just that, the celebration of Christmas is most evil and offensive.
We celebrate the birth of the one the Bible states is the only begotten Son of the Highest. Come to this world, God robbed in flesh, to pay the full debt of sin once for all.
That message declares all in the “Book of Allah” false.
Hence the immensity of the offensiveness to the Muslim of the celebration of the birth of this Bethlehem born child.
Adrian Johnson says
Well said.
PD says
Exactly! Fear and intimidation is their mantra. Do not be fooled people! Muslims have been brain washed for over a thousand years. Marrying your first cousin doesn’t help one to figure out the truth..
A Harris USA says
AMEN
PD says
“shooting ducks in a barrel”? No, it’s “shooting FISH in a barrel”.
mortimer says
Western elites like ambassador Nikolaus Marschik know as much about Islam as a first grader knows about brain surgery. This promotion of UNINFORMED INCOMPETENTS must CEASE in all Western countries IMMEDIATELY.
All the DIPLOMATIC CORPS in all Western countries URGENTLY need to be DEEPLY instructed in the basic POLITICAL DOCTRINES of Islam I mentioned above.
We are led by uninformed people like Nikolaus Marschik and his DHIMMI bosses.
PD says
Start with book “The Grand Jihad” by Andrew McCarthy, and anything written by Robert Spencer. Hurry, check out Amazon.com. No time to waste, forewarned is forearmed…….

Fear. Fear of men is a trap, so says God’s Word.
Why are Christians meeting with satan’s children?
Debi Brand says
Yet another “case of the dhimmi,” yet more non-Muslim fools and cowards in face of Islam advancing Islam.
As I have often stated, one either resists and fights against Islamic-influence-cum-rule lacking that one advances it.
PD says
PC bs, all part of the George Soros agenda, since, as he himself stated, “I love chaos”. Dig deep enough and the truth will reveal itself. CSglobe.com.
Adrian says
Wonder if Muslims would ever rename their “prophet” as a mere “wise man” in order not to offend Christian sensibilities?.. Extremely unlikely
Anke L. says
Mortimer you always make great comments! Total ignorance about the Ideology
of Islam is widespread. The PC attitudes of politicians is so destructive.
I have high hopes, that Trump will educate himself somewhat.
But even if one understands the goals of Islam ideology, what is one to do.at this point.????
have any idea?
I like to see Islam be declared illegal…..
Debi Brand says
“… even if one understands the goals of Islam ideology, what is one to do.at this point.????

“I like to see Islam be declared illegal…”
Indeed.
It is either that or we continue on pretending the doctrines of Islam are other than what their regarded works substantiate that they are, and thus, therefore, a Muslim is other than precisely what those stated works declare a Muslim is.
Since the advent of Islam, fear to fight “Muhammad and his army,” is, in brief, how Islamic-influence-soon-cum-rule steadily advanced.
In brief …

I have a nice German word for the western elites. Kaputt.
Charles says
I am NOT going to go out of my way to “avoid offending muslims”.
Since muslims have NEVER GIVEN A SECOND THOUGHT about offended me!
They can assimilate or go back to Donkey-hump-a-stan!
Anne Smith says
Pat Condell gives a good lead on this.
He is well worth googling on Youtube – amazing stuff.
My Opinion says
Hey, Marschik, you gonna expect mohammedans to rename ramadan and whatever other disgusting celebration they have for satan out of respect for Christianity or a fear of offending Christians? I thought not…you might as well drop your drawers now and let them stick it to you before you bare you throat, you worthless POS.

Germany: Austrian embassy menu bans mention of Christmas for fear of offending Muslims
………………………
Disgusting–this doesn’t even involve a Muslim country; these are supposed to be neighboring European countries that both celebrate Christmas.
Adrian Johnson says
What is worse, Austria is supposed to be officially a Catholic country.
Praeceptor Maximus says
Watch this video by Pat Condell.
Bassam says
Fantastic video as always. Thanks Pat…
Happy Xmas
james.mich says
His most powerful video, by some distance. Thanks for posting it.
Jerry says
It’s great. But really, all his videos are great. He’s a brilliant social critic with profound commonsense. He’s a tremendous asset to us.

“What Do Muslims Do at Christmas? : Islamic Faith in Everyday Life in Germany”
Hm, I wonder…
Chapter One: Whine about Christmas not being “inclusive” enough
Chapter Two: Exert pressure to remove it from the social fabric of the nation
Chapter Three: Villify those who insist on celebrating it
Chapter Four: Kill those who celebrate it
Nah, only kidding! Nobody would write a book like that…
…THAT would be telling!
Tradiguy says
These cowards are just delaying the inevitable! Do they think for one moment that this scum is going to be appeased? If we are to have our full freedom again then we need to put the Muslim well and truly in his place! Happy CHRISTMAS everybody! I for one will never submit to Satan!
james.mich says
When it comes, a Very Happy Christmas to you too !
Jerry says
And I gotta ask myself, why are muslims so offended by the religious traditions of others? Oh yeah, their religion teaches it, the same religion that instructs muslims to enslave or kill the “infidel.” If we in the west have to forgo Christmas terms and decorations for the murderously touchy muslims then I think they should have to give up the degrading and violent parts of their religion. What’s so offensive about Christmas food? Nothing unless you live according to a murderous and intolerant religion. If most muslims truly are peaceful then what’s the fear in offending them? Will they be so mad they might kill us?
You betcha.
Sam says
Removing the name CHRISTMAS because they don’t want to offend Muslims. There’s no bigger joke then this.. changing important parts of our culture so we don’t offend muslims. Bending over for muslims who don’t belong in Europe in the first place! I honestly just don’t get it anymore.. your welcomed into a great country like Austria with open arms, giving an actual chance to enjoy a good life, a life in which you’d never get to live in your backward country! Because in your backward country which law is sharia. So sharia is the set of laws that pretty much states that a woman needs more then one witness if she has been raped or how for stealing something you loose a hand or how you can marry more then one wife.. which hang on? I’m offended fhat
Angemon says
Can’t blame the man – when in Berlin, do as the Berliners. I mean no disrespect to groups like AfD, who are gaining momentum, but they’re not setting the rules in Germany yet.
LanaKagana says
How about banning hijabs for fear of offending Christians?
Jerry says
That’s right. And how ’bout banning raping our kids like in Rotherham. Oh, I forgot. We’re multicultural now. And for what? That most anti-multicultural people on the f*cking planet. Ain’t life strange.
John A. Marre says
Everything offends them. Their first thought in the morning is hatred for Jews and Christians.
