It is extremely foolish and short-sighted of Angela Merkel to dismiss this movement as “racist” and “xenophobic.” The refusal to acknowledge legitimate concerns cannot end well.

Danish TV on German anti-Islamization demo: “German middle class demonstrated”
This is very good news. It is excellent that Danish state TV, Danmarks Radio, truthfully notes that the opposition to Islam comes from the middle of society. The journalist’s claim that Germany is heading for a “Right turn” is not true. Being against Islam has nothing to do with being Right-wing. Actually, criticising religions and […]
Germany: Thousands take to the streets to protest “Islamization”

UK Law Society apologizes and withdraws Sharia guidelines
“The Law Society has withdrawn controversial guidelines for solicitors on how to compile ‘Sharia compliant’ wills amid complaints that they encouraged discrimination against women and non-Muslims.” There is no doubt that when the Law Society adopted these guidelines, it had no idea that Sharia discriminated against women and non-Muslims; and if Law Society members had […]
