European Secularism?

Can European Secularism Provide a Sufficient Bulwark Against Islamic Encroachment?

I did say that educate yourselves about Islam and stop believing in fictional stories written during crusades..............

Khandro, would I be right in concluding that you blame secularism, and moreover atheism, for the problems that Europe is now encountering?

Yes, I would have thought that was pretty obvious.

Khandro, Just wanted firm confirmation. Whether liability rests with secularism or the church, fundamentally the western penchant for ‘tolerance’ is responsible for allowing that which, in any other circumstances, would be considered reprehensible, to flourish unchallenged within our society. Perhaps our politicians together with the apologists should study and digest Birdie’s link – and learn a valuable lesson from history.

Mr Warner's map is very interesting but he claims that jihad on our part ended centuries ago. I think those in the Middle East might view the gulf war etc as evidence that this isn't so.

The Saudis at the UN Human Rights Council
by Giulio Meotti • December 23, 2016 at 5:00 am

While the medieval Saudi system of justice was flogging the gentle blogger Raif Badawi 50 out of the stipulated 1000 lashes, a delegation of UN bureaucrats landed in Jeddah to promote an international conference on religious freedom.

The Saudis use these international seats to advance their oppressive agenda, and to press the Western democracies to punish criticism of Islam.

Through the shameful trial of Geert Wilders, Dutch authorities sent a message of surrender to the Saudis and other rogue Islamic regimes that punish dissent.

Did the Dutch prosecute Wilders on behalf of the Saudis, who threatened to impose sanctions on the Netherlands?

The UN and the Western democracies are putting the defense of human rights and freedom in the hands of one the world's worst violators of religious and intellectual freedom.

Sharia courts are already fully operating in the Netherlands. They know something about "human rights": stoning, flogging and chopping off heads.

Who will rescue our right to speak?
