Whatever you think of Pat Condell — the British internet talking head, former Roman Catholic and now committed atheist, who regularly heaps hot helpings of scorn on his favorite targets (Islam, religion in general, multiculturalism, European cultural suicide) — you have to admit the man is both brave and funny.
Here he is on the grotesque mockery of the judicial process currently going on in Holland in the Geert Wilders trial:

This post was mentioned on Twitter by CO2HOG: via @BigJournalism Overnight Thread: Pat Condell on Geert Wilders, the Netherlands, and the Death of Free Speech http://bit.ly/9ejUWW #tcot…
Pat is great. I've been watching his videos for over a year now. When it comes to the subject of the Islamization of Europe, or the destruction of free speech in the name of 'multi-culturalism', he's spot on. His viewpoint of "If my beliefs offend you, I really don't care" hits the nail on the head.
There are few in Europe, or the USA for that matter, who are willing to be so vocal and frank about the evils of Islam, even with the thousands of death threats he receives. Geert Wilders, Pamela Gellar, Dr. Robert Spencer and Ayaan Hirsi Ali are rare exceptions to that rule.
Biting sarcasm, superior wit. Thank you Pat.
Again, where is the concern when Historians are put in JAIL for studying the Holocaust? That's where all this started.
Pat is one of my heroes. I don't agree with his atheism, but when it comes to defending the values of Western civilization from the threat posed by creeping sharia, I'm cheering for him as loud as I can.
A good call to attention.
A powerful statement. I don't care how Mr. Condell is described, he tells it like it is – this trial in the Netherlands is the tip of the multicultural iceberg that can and will sink Western civilization if we keep steering the ships of state in that direction. The powers-that-be are so afraid of offending Muslims that they'll do anything, including muzzling free speech, trying and jailing those brave enough to speak truth to that particular ugly power. How can we stand against the threat of militant Islam when our own leaders are cowardly knuckling under to their vitriol, and the useful idiocy of the liberals in our free societies embrace it in the hopes of using it to further their own narrow-minded political agendas?
No, This started, (if you actually watched the video,) when Mr. Wilders released his controversial short film, "Fitna". Get your facts straight.
If your post is referring to holocaust deniers in Germany, try looking up their laws. The German people are so repulsed by the actions of their predecessors, that holocaust denial is a crime in Germany. Good for them.
Yeah, many tactics have been used to abuse those who speak truth to power: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZo-tDZ4S2g
It started when laws were put in place to prevent questioning the offical story of the Holocaust. Unprecedented.
LOL! Evils of Islam? From the Protocols of the Elders of Islam, I presume? Aren't you late for your KKK meeting?
Heh yea watched a couple of vids i'm agreeable with him on certain points, heh is it safe for me to admit to being a Athiest on this site
Pat Condell speaks the truth forthrightly, a rare thing these days, and he is correct that Geert is a hero, not a criminal. The only part of his piece I would critique is the McCarthy reference; time has shown that Tail Gunner Joe was not wrong about the danger to America that socialists and their fellow travellers were (and are), the stain is upon the Senators critics, and the Dutch Judiciary, not (just like Geert) on the man yelling fire.
I am Geert Wilders

"offical story of the Holocaust" – Duh Fonz
Holocaust denial is a sick, twisted lie. You have to willingly ignore oiles of evidense and oiles of bodies.
That is the exact reason Eisenhower ORDERED that the DEATH CAMPS be filmed and throughly documented.
Get a grip.
No, this is a question of free speech. If you are glad people censor free speech against Islam, why is it that the "Big" sites put up with your incessant crap all the time?
It's called FREE SPEECH. I may dislike what you say, but you do have a right to say it. That said, I'm using my right to free speech to call you a one trick pony.
I'm glad to see him finally get around to Islam after picking on Christians for a while. I think, if you have a problem with religion, the one that's trying to kill you should take priority.
Tell it like it is brother Pat. Islam is a sick evil menace to civilized people everywhere.
It is PAST time to start fighting back.
No minarets, no veils, no burquas, no Islamic justified religious oppression and murder.
Move along Muslims – there's plenty of opprotunity amongst the sand dunes of your homelands.
We reject you and yours.
I understand why Germans are so sensitive about, but I'm a firm believer in Freedom of Speech. People like the Fonz have a right to question or deny the Holocaust, and we have a right to refute their arguments and call them morons. It's basically the state outlawing idiocy, and while most of us don't go around questioning the holocaust, we have all had stupid ideas, thoughts or statements come out of our mouth. Every man should be free to be a complete idiot, as long as no one is actually harmed by it.
We need a special name for this sort of Muslim-bashing.
The modern heresy trial is here! It's funny just how perfectly multiculturalism fits into the position of dhimmitude vis a vis Islam. It boils down to this: If every culture is equally valid, then how can one defend the Western values of free speech if they contradict Islamic ones?
The European socialists have thought themselves into a corner, and will either succumb to the Islamization of their continent or bite back hard. I have a feeling some, if not most will fight eventually, once they clear the atrophying intoxication of socialism out of their system. They'll have too. Eventually the books cannot be cooked enough to get them out of their debt hole.
Maybe we can call it Anti-Fonzing.
But that's it. The "Holocaust" is an enormous INDUSTRY where a certain group shakes down another for tons of money and power. Why are the "Holocaust" museums in the US but not ones for the Gulag system (a system we aided and abetted with our alliance with the Soviets, btw – so we are more responsible for that than any so-called Holocaust.) So ONE group would definitely be harmed if the actual evidence was allowed to be examined – thus the attack on anyone who does.
You are a complete and total idiot. There is NO credible way to try to ERASE history. Luckily for humankind your kind is a small and ignorant minority.
Every single lie you posted here is an insult to every human being that survived that horror and for you to try to revise that crime for yuou own twisted hatred is sick.
Seig Heil mein Moron!
Too late now. A certain group wanted to change the US in 1965 via immigration.
Our freedom of speech as praciticed by our "democratic" leaders has been constantly distorted into some bizarre Orwellean euphamisms, such as "man caused disasters."
Indeed, war qualifies as a man caused disaster, and that war (aka "man caused disaster"), is being waged by Islam, against our democracies.
We will hear the tired non sequiter of an argument that not all Muslims are terrorists. How true, but they are all taught the same Koran. And it is the teachings of this Koran which commands jihad against our democracies. That is their religious imperative and holy commandment. That is what they are told. That is what they are taught. These Islamic jihadists exist in Muslim societies because these Muslim societies aid and abet their efforts, and these Islamic jihadists are a product of those societies. And we are the innocent victims of their man caused disasters (aka wars).
You have been lied to all your life about this and other incidents. If the historical evidence was there, they wouldn't mind its examination and wouldn't attack those who want to. Can you name ANY other area where looking critically at a historical event is ILLEGAL? At what point does that "click" in your mind that significance of that?
There is plenty of film of the enternment camps in the U.S. I live in an enternment city you doofus. What the fk does one have to do with the other?
Those guys would escape and come back at night for a square meal. This uis the friggin' desert. There's nowhere to run too.
Abundant evidencecoroboates the killing of the Jews, and you know it.
If democracy was an issue why are we support a MONARCHY in Saudi Arabia and opposing the democratic republic of Iran? Why did Bush oppose democracy in Gaza?
You are a Hadji!
Here, in your own language – ahlullalsulalsiiu;allala;has[s[askjfj.
That means s c r e w y o u but, you already knew that, huh Akbar?
athe evidence is OVER WHELMING troll. You DENIAL is the reason Germany had to enact laws to reign in the neo-Nazis – like you.
The evidence is usually paultry – an odd photo or two. Some of them have been proven to have been GERMANS killed by our allies, the Soviets (isn't that ironic.) People like you are shown a photo and told what it is and what to believe and you don't question it. Wouldn't hold up in court.
Oy, vey, the suffering….

Elie Weisel was proven to have lied about the "fire pits." Most of what you have been told is a lie. The "lampshades and soap" turned out to be a lie. But these are the outragous things that are allowed to happen when you don't allow proper examination of this like we would ANYTHING else.
This is a libel against the German people but no one seems concerned with that.
The irrationality you display doesn't help your case.
Take note. If there is ever an inkling that this may happen in our country, bare arms.
So Mr. Winkler, just how do we classify you? Are you merely a flaming anti-Semite, a Holocaust denier, a supporter of Islam, a liberal whackjob, or all of the above? You sound like one of those self-hating liberal Jewish people, if I were to hazard a guess. So if Israel did get nuked out of existence by Ackmagenocide or some other rabid Arab hater of Jews, would you applaud, nod in agreement, be crushed for supporting such a heinous policy? What?
I counter your irrationality with sarcasm. Sort it out NAZI.
J.H. Can you do something about this ridiculous NAZI – Holocaust denier? Are there any boundaries? I'm no sensorship fan – but the blantant lies one needs to buy in to and then to propagate them to be a denier is a very tall order.
Every single thread in the Big family – this nazi finds a "hate the Jews" angle. It's sickening and often off topic.
yup.
here, here
I'll pitch in buy Der Fonz Turbin and a ticket to Mecca.
On yer face, assume doggy position Fonz – it's five 'oclock – Ali-Hadji is "waiting"
Your reply is an non sequiter. You are talking about governmental actions, I am talking about individual freedoms. Duh
I think of the socalled "moderate" Muslims as a "support staff". The active element are donning their suicide bomb belts and living in mud huts so they can vanguard the insurgency – "meanwhile back at the ranch" – the CAIR folks and related type groups are laying the groundwork – paving the way for wider Jihad.
It seems like a loose but co-ordinated effort.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-60763231...
Around 41:00 you see the lie about the lamp-shades.
"The chess sets were made of animal but not human bone; the lampshade possibly was deer or goat but not human skin. Tests of the soap were inconclusive. (The alleged practice of rendering human fat into soap is a story unto itself; the common opinion now seems to be that while it may have been made experimentally once, human soap was never produced in quantity.) You never know what will turn up, but without tests, don't assume that just because a lampshade or other item is claimed to be of human origin, it is."
http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2511/did...
What you are seeing is POST-war propaganda. A way to justify an unjustifiable war.
Your position can not tolerate dissent.
Eh, Condell can get a bit weary with the religion bashing, but he's brutally honest and I can respect that.
Everything he said is true. Very smart guy.
My problem with Islam is that they are K I L L I N G us. Hasan, 9/11, on and on. It's a war.
We did nothing that reasonable people would start a war over.
Islam, as practiced by modern terrorists is not reasonable.
The Palestinians were offered a fair deal vis a vis Palestine in 1948. The Mufti turned down the deal and the war was on.
It's still on. Giving an inch to terrorists is licence to let them eliminate Israel.
Israel is the ancient home of the Jewish people.
Islam should acknowledge that ancieny t history. It doesn't.
"A way to justify an unjustifiable war" Derr Fonz – WHAT????
PAT AND GEERT ARE BOTH SUPER-HEROES.It is important that the justice system takes on disgusting islam by its dirty filthy evil horns.
The full planet is looking towards Holland in this. GEERT W. is a great and brave man. Is Holland ready to deal with islamic pedophilia? Get ready to hear the truth. This case is a good thing. Future women and children will be free from the clutches of this insane 7th. century evil cult that is being spread like wildfire because of petroleum money. Our thoughts are with you Mr. Geert W. thank you for all of mankind.

It's worse than you think – climate change is not the change we should be worried about.
Please take the time to watch this video.

I'm trying to figure out when the 'break-up' becomes tabloid headline news – the break up between the Progressive Movement and the USA – who is the girlfriend and who is the boyfriend. You would think that we Americans would be insulted by being called the girlfriend in this breakup.
If Anita Dunn and FLOTUS and Pelosi and Boxer are the feminines….well put that thought on hold.
If Van Jones and Cass and Jennings (Soros) and Co. are the masculine…well put that thought on hold.
The break up with the Progressives has happened. But that silly little thing like law allows them to drive around and stalk like it will repair the relationship. They are that "Mr. State Of the Art Honda" driver who hooks the chick that finally sees the light. But he just won't go away because he has cash. And he knows where she lives.
The breakup is about to get ugly. No. Toxic. Like the crap their friends are pushing on us through our raped children…the GSE's.
" the one that's trying to kill you should take priority "
Quite amazing isn't it – vilify the ones trying to save you, rationalize the ones trying to kill you.
My ancestors came to England from France around 1100 AD. Does that mean I have a historic right to part of France, to the extent that I can evict the present inhabitants? I think not.
What the heck is your message? Gibberish. I can't distill an opinion or anything from this.
Glad you found the shift key and could play with it awile.
Super hero is EXACTLY what Wilders is. A 2 dimensional comic character without a relevant message. Trust me he will pass just like your taste for a new Mariah Carey single.
The problems between the international Ku Klux Klan and the hardliner muslims will be solved elsewhere. By balanced and intelligent people and some more time.
Priority ? Howso? Oh you mean after having killed it's share! Well, Islam has some serious catching up to do then.
" prevent questioning the offical story of the Holocaust" "and who speak truth" Duh Fonz
WTF? You deny the Holocaust and talk about "truth"?
Holocaust denial is a sick, twisted lie.
As sick and twisted as denying Global Warming.
You have to willingly ignore piles of evidence and piles of bodies.
The LACK of piles of bodies is one of the biggest obstacles to making the case for the Holocaust story….along with lack of mass graves, orders given, etc…. plus the aerial photos showing no smoke.
That is the exact reason Eisenhower ORDERED that the DEATH CAMPS be filmed and throughly documented
So, I show you a "camp" and you can tell what went on? Why are there no videos distributed of the "camps" where American Japanese and Germans were held?
The Red Cross was THERE and said they saw no evidence of "death camps."
So, you think that free speech is an irrelevant message?
International KKK? What kind of crack are you smoking?
You would be hard pressed to find more balanced voices than that of Pam Gellar, Geert Wilders, Walid Shoebat (a repented terrorist, and anti-islam proponent) robert spencer, Ayaan hirsi ali…the list goes on and on.
Please, if you actually have a point to say, or can offer your solution by doing something other than insulting people with your drive-by postings, we'd love to hear it. Maybe a person of note, who can be your voice of "balance and intelligence" on the matter? Please bring substance.
It's like watching the west voluntarily dismantle itself. It goes beyone reason.
Leeta, if you don't think we are already well down this same road you better take a closer look.
Calmdownchildren? Get over yourself, do you even comprehend what is happening or are you too busy feeling superior? We can see how your "balanced and intelligent people" are "solving" the problem in the Netherlands.
You can admint it, but regret won't even begin to describe your feelings as you stand in judgment in front of Almighty God. You'll be facing an eternity of constant torment in a very real Hell. Remember these words when that happens!
But you can avoid it by accepting Jesus as your personal savior. I urge you to do so right now, before it's too late!
I agree. Let's call it "Telling the Truth!"
Correct. This is the immoral fog of political correctness.
Ouch, that's pretty hard to watch.
Let's try to stay somewhat current here. Let's start in 1948 when the U.N., leftists favorite instituion RECOGNIZED Israel's soverignty.
Ask the Grand Mufti why the Palestinians are "homeless". It's because he turned down a 50/59 SPLIT of the aree.
I'm betting you have ZERO idea when or where you ancestors did anything. Get a grip.
Say, I'm curious. I'm a college student and I'm fascinated that the American Left has turned anti-Semetic and is selectively plucks parts of history here and there to support their views.
Like they're shuffling down a cafeteria line, tray in hand.
"Ya, I'll have some ..er, yes, oppressed Arab – no, no sauce thanks- yummy that sounds GOOD …um, yes the "Communists were actually good guys" LOOKS GOOD…yummy…let's have side of "socialism works" with the "proletariate blood sauce", "Jews Baked by the Million"? Ewww, I didn't even know they served "those people" here."
Get a clue. Figure out who the bad guys are, it might save you life on a plane or in a market some day.
Are you engaged in terrorism against your "fellow" inhabitants? I think not.
Political Culturalism is the biggest problem facing modern democracies. It is just an accepted way to promote various religious adherences. Eventually, hopefully, we'll all come to realize how intelligent the original Americans were to keep miraculous stories out of politics.
Your positions are buit on lies and you don't acknowledge proven facts, instead you cling to a bunch of nonsense. There is no dispute (by fair minded people) about the Holocaust, Be rational.
The (you should know this) NAZI kept outstandinmg records, the were fanatical about record keeping. Tons (literally) of records were found and examined. They kept cost recored down to the Reichs Mark and pfenning. It's known how many people were transported. Late in the war U.S. surveillance aircraft PHOTOGRAPHED Aushwitz. The camp is still there.
When things started to turn the commanders at Sobibor did their best to erase it from history. Plenty of forensic evidence was found anyway. Pits made with railroad ties, bodies stacked like cordwood and burned.
McCarthy actually seems to be Condells predecessor in this case! I'm also suspicious of the use of "peace" at the end. I hope he doesnt suppose to get there without a fight.
I agreed with the rest of it, though!
Coming to a country near you, if you don't stand up now.
Why would you want to evict your own ancestors?
The part where you start speaking/typing – starts there and ends where you stop speaking/typing.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Pat Condell?
Bloody legend!
Wilders as Galileo, anyone?
http://hesspartacus.wordpress.com/2010/01/30/the-...
Oh, and multiculturalism?
Leave it to Mark Steyn…..
http://hesspartacus.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/my-q...
What part is confusing you?
Tou know, Fonzie, you are a revolting neo-Nazi and terrorist sympathizer: but I actually have to agree with you that Free Speech means Free Speech, even for cretins: and Austria had no business jailing David Irving, no matter what a disgusting turd he is.
We did nothing that reasonable people would start a war over.
Besides supporting the Israeli terrorists, overthrowing their governments, supporting monarchies and opposing democracies, and occupying land?
The Palestinians were offered a fair deal vis a vis Palestine in 1948. The Mufti turned down the deal and the war was on.
No, the Jews turned it down because it didn't include Jerusalem.
It's still on. Giving an inch to terrorists is licence to let them eliminate Israel.
Why do you care? I guess your loyalties are with Israel and not the US. Could have guessed that but this is an admission right here.
Israel is the ancient home of the Jewish people
Which Jews? Obviously not the 9th century converts that are the AshkaNAZI.
We aren't in the business of rebuilding ancient civilizations.
It was the Jews that turned it down because it didn't include Jerusalem. The Jew terrorists (Stern Gang, Irgun, etc…) that created the war.
It is a history of terrorism that has turned most people against Israel. Israel was FOUNDED with terrorism and practice it to this day.
Christians in Israel harassed by Jews.

Fonz would be off this site if it were up to me.
That is all.
We're talking about modern times here. I guess you live in the past like the Islamists who still complain about the Crusades even though they attacked the west first, multiple times.
Islam has the killing of non-believers built into its tenets. It's part of the Koran,
Leeta, take note. Please compare the bow, or lack thereof, HBO made before the queen of England and the bow (he almost tipped over) he made in front of the king of Saudi Arabia. Need any more advice?
Cause you can't handle the truth.
The control of the Holy Land has been won and lost over thousands of years. The Grand Mufti and his ilk were allied with the Nazis and axis powers. They lost the war and, therefore, lost rights to the Holy Land. They should thank their lucky stars that they did not lose more than that.
Islam is a religion of conquest, one that exhorts its followers to take arms and Islamize the world. No other religion in history has been so blatantly militarized. Keep it up Hud!
Actually it sinks below, and evades, reason. When you give up logic and reason, you lose truth, and your are left with hope, faith and the whims of the powerful. Very dangerous. If and when reason reasserts itself, we may see a tremendous amount of blood shed.
Priority ? Howso? Oh you mean after having killed it's share! Well, Islam has some serious catching up to do then.
Brilliant, true and well spoken. Is this bravery? He is doing what members of free societies have been doing sense the dawn of time, employing his right of free speech. It is truly a shame to now have to refer to him as a brave man, to do so now is a stain on mankind, it is 2010 not 500 AD. What Pat Condell says here should be shouted from the rooftops until we have all lost our voices and those who are offended be dammed. Enjoy your right to be offended folks, that will go next.
Don't feed the troll.
Agreed, it is here now.
Don't feed the troll. I'm an atheist and I don't feel unwelcome on this site. I suspect were I to compare the quasi-eecummings writing above to past writings I could identify one of our regular trolls, just returned to his mommy's basement.
I think the 'peace" was an ironic dig at the flower children.
Many Muslims, probably a majority in America, are, like a majority of Christians, somewhat disinterested followers, in it more by habit than by belief. Some came here to escape the Islamic reign of terror in Iran and other Mideast places. And many of those in the Mideast are no doubt followers more from fear of persecution (execution in some places for straying from the fold) than from conviction.
These are the first targets of the Islamic fascists, and they need our encouragement, not our condemnation for their birth.
If the Muslims here and elsewhere were totally disinterested parties – or tired of having to deal with getting blown up, more would take an active stand.
CAIR is all about "spreading the word". The Muslim Brotherhood is alive and active on college campses(I) radicalizing American blacks and Muslims – ignorning the proliferation of the wacky "religion" isn't making us safer.
I'm heartened by the freedom movement in Iran and saddened that they are being arrested and hanged by that oppresive theocratic regime.
I've spent time in Europe – I've seen the incrementalism there.
Sorting them out is the problem.
Excellent point, James. We need to save our energy for the dangers of Islam, not the inanities of other systems.
That's utterly ridiculous. You're on a Zinn-like rewrite of history. Israel is a nation today because they aggreed to the deal.
The Palestinians are marginalized because they REJECTED the deal.
Sell crazy somewhere else.
yup. see above. I've been in Europe and have seen the changes for the WORSE that Islam has wrought.
I think (and pray) the Europeans are beginning to wake from their politically correct stupor.
Mr. Condell is absolutely right.
The Wilders Trial should serve as a warning to the USA and also remind us of the true nature of liberalism: it masquerades as the bastion of freedom and open-mindedness but ultimately it is the embodiment of intolerance, a philosophy that leads to totalitarianism and oppression. It does this all under the false banner of equality and tolerance for all.
Additionally, the MSM, as usual, has no interest in this story, because it does not fit in with their agenda or twisted philosophy. In fact, I have known about Mr. Wilders case for many months after first hearing about him from CBN News, no thanks to the usual suspects in the press.
Or just blow them or rain motors and rockets down on them?
My dad marched in to a German concentration camp during WWII. (His troop could smell it miles away.) He said it was the most traumatic experience of his life….and he lived a long one. What do you say to the eyewitnesses? Are they all lying?
NO ONE saw anything like 6 million people killed.
Maybe if you guys would ignore him he would go away. But people keep replying to his posts as if he is someone who could be reasoned with, and it gives him hours of satisfaction.
Uber 7 minute rant.
don't forget the left loves this new voting block.
So freedom of speech = good. But freedom of religion = bad?
Why were Muslims brought into Europe in the first place and who was behind it? They had to know it would bring down Christian Civilization therefore had to be done with a deliberate intent.
Nazi.
Please don't have kids.
You enjoy the dramatic irony of your position too much to reconsider it, no matter how much contrary evidence is presented.
Geert Wilders is the number 1 world hero, and he is being crucified by the evil dutch slime political class.
FOOLS, AFTER YOU DESTROY GEERT, ISLAM WILL CUT YOUR THROAT AS YOU BEG FOR YOUR LIFE!!
Welcome to the world of liberal politically-correct TOLERANCE, because we all just have to be soooo accepting of all those who call for DEATH to Everyone unlike themselves.
Islam is NOT a religion.
Islam is a DEATH CULT.
Muslims hate you if you are not muslim.
Muslims want you dead if you are not a muslim.
Muslims want you dead if you speak out against Islam.
This is not hard to understand.
.
The point is, that they are hardly relegated to mud huts. They are living amongst us here and now. The 9/11 highjackers, the Fort Hood shooting. It is inevetable that there will be more of these atrocities commited against us, the murdered victim in Munich during the Olympics, the murdered victims in Bali, the Mumbai massacre, not too long ago, and these atrocities are ongoing. Just googl in Islam Muslims terrorism. It continues unto today.
Why people cow to these muslims is beyond me. I will not and never will. They can leave go back to where the hell they came from.
It is clear to me that the major institutions of our society (Government, Church, the Education system, and the MSM), due to that great cancer of our world, political correctness, will do very little to combat the great evil in the world, Islamofascism. Mr. Condell is most eloquent in highlighting this fact. Apparently it is up to the grassroots folks to sort it out. This is why the Tea Party Movement is so vital to our great nation. I hope that its success, seen recently in Mass., will inspire folks in Europe and elsewhere that it's not too late to turn this around.
Pat Condell …. is a Western Civilization Patriot.
Even though I am sure he would find something amiss with my synopsis if him.
He is an important representative of all of us that beleive in freedomand free speech.

where, where?
He is right to attack fundamentalism, intolerant extremism, narrowmindedness, prejudice, using religion as an instrument of power, and so on. But his broom sweeps too wide… Religion is not the same as faith. Be deeply suspicious of loudmouths who cannot prove what they so eagerly proclaim. He should leave God out of this and concentrate on human faults. Including his own. For in his furious obstinacy he himself becomes an example of intolerance. And that's funny???
They weren't brought to Europe by anyone – they themselves came here first as conquerors – and were pushed back. Spain and Greece were enslaved for centuries but survived as Christian cultures. Read your history, Annie.
