| Fight against terror is not a clash of civilizations, says EU Parliament Speaker |

| [RUDAW.NET] European Parliament Speaker Martin Shultz says the war against world terrorism is fought by all faiths and should not be regarded as a clash between different civilizations. After fifteen years they're still trying to separate brutish Islamic behavior from Islam. It's still a clash between Arabian "civilization" and Western civilization. Whether you call it fish or fowl, vegetable or mineral, it's still not a rose. Speaking to Rudaw on the sidelines of EU top meeting in the Slovakian capital, Shultz said Moslem communities around the world are the "greatest victims" of terror and have "actively" taken part in the global war against Islamic Sate insurgency. "We need to prevent this issue from becoming a clash of civilizations and faiths as we see more and more people try to label it as such," Shultz said, referring to the international coalition efforts against the ISIS. "This is a war against radicalism even within the Western civilization. ISIS strategy is firstly to target moderate Moslems," he added. Some 20 nations across the world have joined the US-led coalition against ISIS snuffies in Syria and Iraq that include among others Morocco, Jordan, Australia, Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and La Belle France. Shultz said the EU has special programs to help radicalized young people in Europe to abandon terror groups and reintegrate with their communities. "The EU will work to prevent the flow of money and arms to the so-called Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... and also to confront radicalization of the young in Europe," he said. Some 10,000 imported muscle are believed to have joined the ISIS ranks in Syria and Iraq since 2014 although many have died in the war or returned to their home countries. |

| #3 All the narrative that fits the objective: our crowd (Anti-Christians) is in, you lot (Christians) are out. Now who historically besides Moslems has been Anti-Christian, even while exploiting Christian largesse? |

| #2 When he's right, he's right. Islam is not a civilization, it's a disease. |

| #1 You may not be interesting in a clash of civilizations, Marty, but a clash of civilizations seems interested in you. |
