Cat Stevens Awarded EU Peace Prize (For Support of Rushdie Fatwah?)
2007-01-08
From the desk of Fjordman

Islamopop star Cat Stevens, aka Yusuf Islam, gets awarded a major Eurabian prize. This gives you some idea of just how vast and established the Eurabian networks are. They are unfortunately very real, not a conspiracy theory. Yusuf Islam is notorious for having supported the Islamic death penalty for Salman Rushdie. He also refuses to denounce Hamas.

He now gets a peace prize by the EU:

Yusuf Islam is to be awarded the Mediterranean Prize for Peace today January 4, 2007 in Naples, Italy. Yusuf is being awarded the prestigious award as a result of the work he has done to increase peace in the world. [Â…] The prize is assigned each year to personalities of political, cultural, and artistic worlds that contributed with their actions to reduce tensions and begin an upgrading process of cultural differences and shared values in the area of the Greater Mediterranean.

The Mediterranean Award:

In 1997 the Fondazione Mediterraneo funded the Mediterranean Prize (with its sections: Peace, Culture, Art, Diplomacy, Institutions, Social Promotion, Information, Literature, Cinema, Creativity, Architecture and Silver Dolphin). It is yearly assigned to personalities of political, cultural, and artistic world that contributed with their action to reduce the tensions and begin an upgrading process of cultural differences and shared values in the area of the Greater Mediterranean. In 2005 the Fondazione Mediterraneo in partnership with the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for Dialogue between Cultures decided to launch a special category of the ‘Mediterranean Award’ entitled The Euro Mediterranean Award for the Dialogue Between Cultures.
NB : on the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for Dialogue between Cultures see this (paragraph 2).

Our so-called leaders through the European Union are busy selling our continent and the freedom of our children down the river, and smile while they are doing it. The only way to stop this is to dismantle the European Union. All of it. If we don't do so, and soon, Europe simply wonÂ’t survive.

#13  #9 Europe is dead because European birth rate is below replacement level. How I feel about Europe and Europeans have nothing to do with it.
As to the rest of your view, can't say I'm surprised---I was rised among gentiles.

#12  the stuff about the Frankfort school is pretty lame as well. But geez, youre still regretting the French revolution. Why should a Bourbon nostalgic Ultra-montane french rightist be interested in the survival of the only progressive state in the Middle East?

Too bad some minor EU bureaucrat gave a prize to Stevens, though. I mean the man doesnt have the manliness to apologize to Rushdie.

But I suggest that anon may not want to read Rushdie either, youd probably find him way to multicultie for your tastes.

#11  A friend once commented that the next time I heard a smarmy Cat Stevens single on the radio, I should think of it as performed by some screaming punk death metal band.

Now I can't listen to Cat Stevens without, etc...

#10  Hum, on second thought, the later comment about Israel being wiped is rather mean, I aplogize, but I'm still pissed off by that writing off of Europe and downright anti-euro prejudice.
1) We're the same people (despite what the extremists say), 2) you're not immune, you're just less advanced on the Death curve, but you're *fully* engaged in (at least your own Enlightened Elites, regardless of political affiliation), 3) when we die, you're next in line.

#9  Civilizations, like individuals, age and die. Europe is beyond saving. Limiting the damage should be the primary concern.

Gromgoru, I value Israel's interests in the name of our common heritage and general belonging to western civilization, I think you're the proverbial canary in the coal mine and bastion behind ennemy lines... BUT if/when Europe falls, then Israel doesn't even makes the list to my preoccupations. I only value Israel from an european perspective, and the same is true for the USA (less so, because I have an intimate cultural, affective relationship with them).

In a schadenfreude way, and bear in mind I'm NOT a true believer in PCT or an antisemite, having Israel wiped off the map after the fall of Europe would even be a small, bitter consolation, given the jewish role in the current cancer of western civilization (just looks at the 60's european students "revolution", the Frankfort school)...

Of course, this cancer/civilizational AIDS is also affecting Israel ("Peace Now"); I do not see joooooos as the Hidden Masterminds, but as actors who were involved, along with others (gnostics, german and french philosophers, french revolutionnaries,...) in a deep politico-cultural trend because of a particular jewish psychology forged in part by History and relations with the majorities of host Nations.

This is truly a death-embrace, jews and non-jews influencing each others for the worst outcome possible for both. The eurabia sell-outs and the liberals jews.
Europe will be destroyed, at least in its present form, and jews will be ethnicaly cleasing out of it. It only took, what?, a couple of centuries, for the cycle to be completed.

#5  These awards don't mean sh*t other than to indicate how far things have spiraled down across the pond. Didn't Arafat receive the Nobel Peace Prize--a bribe to try to get him to stop his shennanigans in the mideast.
