Reader comment on: Germany Tackles Islamic Radicalization
Submitted by Ron Thompson, Aug 2, 2012 13:06
Aside from Geert Wilders, has any other individual or State unit done more to take up the challenge of deadly Islamic radicalism throughout Europe (and still totally unreported by major American media or network news) than this publication and policy of the German state of Lower Saxony?
Although its publication and this story by Soeren Kern reveal an alarming increase in the Islamic/Salafist threat, still, knowing and confronting your enemy cannot but be a bold step forward. I am much heartened to read this.
One can only hope to see similar shifts in behavior and policy in all other European countries, most especially in England, which appears furthest from recognizing the Islamic threat in its midst.

The Sheiks and WMD

Switzerland: Multicultural Paradise?
by Soeren Kern
