Thread: Dispatch from the Eurabian Front: Italy, Flanders, the Nethe

Italy

A newly arrived Moroccan immigrant in the Italian village of Valaperta di Casatenovo, near Lecco, could not stand the statue of the Virgin Mary in a niche opposite the house which had been assigned to him. The immigrant’s Muslim faith forbids the depiction of humans. Every morning the poor man was confronted with the statue of the Madonna – an intolerable affront to his deeply-felt religious convictions. Consequently, yesterday morning the immigrant filled up the niche with concrete. Two elderly ladies were able to save the statue of the Holy Virgin, but two statues of little angels surrounding the Madonna were walled in by the zealous Moroccan.

The Madonna of Valaperta di Casatenovo had been in the niche since the 1850s. The statue was a popular place where the villagers came to pray. One wonders why the Italians do not do this sensitive immigrant a favour and send him back to Morocco or to a place where he will not be offended by statues of the Virgin Mary. Saudi Arabia, for instance.

Flanders

Badia Miri, a municipal civil servant and trade union representative in Antwerp, Flanders, is angry because she is not allowed to wear a headscarf when working behind a desk serving citizens. The city council, which adheres to principles of “religious neutrality,â€

Lugundum, you always post interesting stuff.It makes me wonder though- why does every religion ,exept Islam, have to make changes for others?
If muslims are so offended by Western culture and religion then why do they keep moving to areas dominated by it?
Also why don't believers of those religions and cultures stand up for themselves?They have as much right to their culture/religion as others.
Again, thanks for the interesting posts.




Head 'em up,move 'em out Rawhide!

Rawhide,

thanks for your kind words . Concerning the Islam immigration to Europe: I think there are three reasons:

first one is the expansionist nature of Islam, second one is that corporations push for cheap Labour and the third one is welfare system in European countries allowing a lot of immigrants to live (and breed) from my taxes.

Anyway, there are quite a dark times ahead of us but if you wish to see the Light you must first move through the Darkness!

Like Rawhide I think Lugundum's posts are always interesting. The islamization of Europe isn't a happy thought. There's not much we can do from over here though. I was thinking the UK might be a good place to emigrate if Billary or Obama get elected, but after reading about the islamification process going on there, it's off my list.

Sam-I-Am,
Wouldn't that be something-if Hillary or Obama get elected and there was a huge influx of Americans fleeing into Europe and insisting our Western culture is preserved, who would be left to support the illegals? Oh, thats right us, since we will still have to pay taxes for TEN YEARS after leaving the US.

I'd like to see the IRS try to collect taxes when I'm living in another country.
I'd like to see them even try to find out where I live. If I leave the US I'm not leaving a forwarding address for Uncle Sam and his tax collectors.
