OT-Europe
German CEO Blasts European Cowardice EUROPE - THY NAME IS COWARDICE (Commentary by Mathias Döpfner) Matthias Döpfner, Chief Executive of German publisher Axel Springer AG, has written a blistering attack in the daily WELT against the cowardice of Europe in the face of the Islamic threat. Hartmut Lau translated the article for us. A few days ago Henry M. Broder wrote in Welt am Sonntag, "Europe - your family name is appeasement." It's a phrase you can't get out of your head because it's so terribly true. Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated too long before they noticed that Hitler had to be fought, not bound to agreements. Appeasement stabilized communism in the Soviet Union and East Germany in that part of Europe where inhuman, suppressive governments were glorified as the ideologically correct alternative to all other possibilities. Appeasement crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in Kosovo and we Europeans debated and debated until the Americans came in and did our work for us. Rather than protecting democracy in the Middle East, European appeasement, camouflaged behind the fuzzy word "equidistance," now countenances suicide bombings in Israel by fundamentalist Palestinians. Appeasement generates a mentality that allows Europe to ignore 300,000 victims of Saddam's torture and murder machinery and, motivated by the self-righteousness of the peace-movement, to issue bad grades to George Bush. A particularly grotesque form of appeasement is reacting to the escalating violence by Islamic fundamentalists in Holland and elsewhere by suggesting that we should really have a Muslim holiday in Germany. What else has to happen before the European public and its political leadership get it? There is a sort of crusade underway, an especially perfidious crusade consisting of systematic attacks by fanatic Muslims, focused on civilians and directed against our free, open Western societies. It is a conflict that will most likely last longer than the great military conflicts of the last century - a conflict conducted by an enemy that cannot be tamed by tolerance and accommodation but only spurred on by such gestures, which will be mistaken for signs of weakness. Two recent American presidents had the courage needed for anti-appeasement: Reagan and Bush. Reagan ended the Cold War and Bush, supported only by the social democrat Blair acting on moral conviction, recognized the danger in the Islamic fight against democracy. His place in history will have to be evaluated after a number of years have passed. In the meantime, Europe sits back with charismatic self-confidence in the multicultural corner instead of defending liberal society's values and being an attractive center of power on the same playing field as the true great powers, America and China. On the contrary - we Europeans present ourselves, in contrast to the intolerant, as world champions in tolerance, which even (Germany's Interior Minister) Otto Schily justifiably criticizes. Why? Because we're so moral? I fear it's more because we're so materialistic. For his policies, Bush risks the fall of the dollar, huge amounts of additional national debt and a massive and persistent burden on the American economy - because everything is at stake. While the alleged capitalistic robber barons in American know their priorities, we timidly defend our social welfare systems. Stay out of it! It could get expensive. We'd rather discuss the 35-hour workweek or our dental health plan coverage. Or listen to TV pastors preach about "reaching out to murderers." These days, Europe reminds me of an elderly aunt who hides her last pieces of jewelry with shaking hands when she notices a robber has broken into a neighbor's house. Europe, thy name is cowardice "If I'm going to reach out to the the Democrats then I need a third hand.There's no way I'm letting go of my wallet or my gun while they're around." "Democrat. In the dictionary it's right after demobilize and right before demode` (out of fashion). -Buddy Jordan 2001 |

Cowardice is an understatement at least, many European nations are actively
attacking anyone who dares criticise Islam, but they dont react when Islamic clerics incite hatred and violence in return. It all comes down to left wing traitors in power, The EUSSR is welcoming thousands of ill educated anti western muslims into Europe because they think they can buy their votes, thereby eroding the right wing lobby. Right Wing Partys are gaining popularity but the growth is slow because so many people have been brainwashed by the left wingers to believe Right Wing means Nazism, Fascism, Skin Heads Violence etc, Yet if you search the archives you will find esp in the UK that it is the left wing organisations who are behind the violent attacks on other people. If you wish to see moral cowardice in action try voting Democrat. "Gunner" wrote in message ...

As an aside it looks like the Black Watch Battle group that asupported the
US campaign in Falujah has earned its reward from Traitor Blairs Government, They look like they are to be disbanded. "Gunner" wrote in message ...

BTW Dont waste your valuable time looking for honourable actions over here,
There are non. It may come back when Blair and Bush are executed for War Crimes and crimes against humanity, but I doubt if much good will come out of Europe in the next decade. |

A particularly grotesque form of appeasement is reacting to the escalating violence by Islamic fundamentalists in Holland and elsewhere by suggesting that we should really have a Muslim holiday in Germany. You hit the nail fair and square on the head Gunner, it is a nightmare waiting to happen. In the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday 14th December 2004 Iqbal Sacranie, the whinging General Secretary of the Muslim Council of Great Britain stated how the British people should be prepared to surrender their right to free speech to ensure Muslims feel 'comfortable' in Britain. |

The report is right, while the UK is the only nation to commit troops in any
real size (I know its only around 15000) and yet at the same time our government and legal system erode everything that England and for that matter the UK was built upon. Flying the Union Jack flag on St.Georges Day is a no-no as the flag is used by a bunch of right wing facist thugs. I'd love to see President Bush tell Americans they could not fly the stars and stripes because some bunch of idiots waved them at a rally. Not everything the UK did in the past was bad, but now history is being rewritten, School children 'do' WW2 in a couple of hours, and there is no sense of pride encouraged anymore. I was born in 1954, the year candy and chocolate came off rationing, my teenage children just thought I was joking when I pointed this out to them. The UK suffered economicaly for a decade after the end of WW2, a sad fact often forgotten and rarely talked about today. Sorry to rant on, but I just got in from a night shift at the hospital and turned on the BBC news, world events have spoiled my sleep for today Rik "The Rifleman" wrote in message ...

Actually flying the Union Jack flag on St. Georges day would be considered offensive to the Scots and Welsh. Are you sure you aren't thinking about the Cross of St. George which is usurped by the facist thugs? There is a campaign to reclaim it have you joined? |
