Europe
Spain publishes public school primer on Islam
2006-10-19
Spain has financed publication of a school textbook it says is unlike any other in the European Union - a primer for Muslim first-graders to learn about Islam, but do so in Spanish as a way to integrate better into society, officials said Wednesday.
Isn't that sweet?
A first run of 15,000 copies of the book "Discovering Islam" have been printed as part of the pioneering project, said Jose Manuel Lopez, managing director of the Pluralism and Harmony Foundation, which is part of the Justice Ministry. The ministry oversees religious issues. The book, written by a Spanish Muslim leader, was exhibited at the Frankfurt book fair this month and drew keen interest from people in other European countries. The same thing happened when it was formally unveiled in Spain on Tuesday, as representatives of the governments of Germany, France and Italy attended the ceremony, Lopez said. "Europe has 40 million Muslims and governments don't know what to do to assimilate them," Lopez said in an interview. "This book is a hint."

#12  The EU will fracture, in the foreseeable future. There will be Europe, but that will be represented by former behind-the-Iron-Curtain countries--Poland, Czech, Slovakia, perhaps Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria. I am not mentioning Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia--these would be swallowed by Russian bear again. The rest in the west would be Eurabia. The Iron Curtain will be erected once more, but this time to not to keep people in, but to keep the Eurabians out.

#11  How to you assimilate anyone to your values when you don't have any values yourself?

This is the European problem in a nutshell.

#10  Visit Europe while you can, and take lots of photos so your kids and grandkids believe you when you tell them how beautiful it once was.

#9  So how do you say "Strike the necks of the infidels." in Spanish?

#8  What is this, some silly, pointless dialog before the storm ? Or are we still trying to rope in the brainless leftys who didn't get the memo ?

Message to Europe, either you die or they die, no other options. The more you delay, the more of you die. You may fire when ready, out.

#7  Spain 'assimilating' Muslims? Nah, it's the other way around. Muslims are like the Borg. "You will be assimilated".

#6  "Europe has 40 million Muslims and governments don't know what to do to assimilate them."

ItÂ’s only prudent for Host countries to provide the resources in order to facilitate assimilation for all immigrants. (Language, culture, and civics) But the responsibility for assimilation should be assigned to the immigrants themselves - not the host country. And failure to fulfill those responsibilities should result in denial of citizenship or possibly deportation. Draconian you say? Perhaps, but the justification is simple. A fractured society is a dangerous one proven time and again by the social experiment known as European Multi-Culturism.

#5  Europe will have to get nasty, or die.

That reminds me of the memri vid i had posted a while back : old kaddaffy (whatever you spell it) on al-jizz, saying to the crowd, among other things, that Europe will be islamized for its own good, because there was some many muslims there now, more to come with turkey, and that the only choice the euros had was "to declare war to islam, or to become muslim".

One shouldn't neglect the wisdom of a sex-crazed, loony north african dictator.

#3  Indeed, anon, it is profound - for in those numbers they can achieve the aims of their imam masters. The tumor will kill the host. They are Muzzies. Enough of them are "good" Muzzies - assimilation is haram. They have their marching orders - intimidate and spread their version of piety, procreate, disrupt, enfeeble, and destroy the host from within using its own institutions, loopholes, over-burden the welfare systems, political systems, liberal freedoms (to protest, riot, hold carbecues, etc). There are enough of these "good" Muzzies to force / frighten the others into supporting the effort, or else. The socialist nanny states of Europe are tailor-made for subversion and eventual failure by any of these means.

Europe will have to get nasty, or die.

#2  "Europe has 40 million Muslims and governments don't know what to do to assimilate them

This statement is more profound than it seems at first blush. Europe could stop them now, without too much bloodshed, but they won't. What's so bizarre about the Muslims is that they don't seem to realize that they could join the modern world peacefully. It's hard for us to fathom their wish to put themselves and their families into a situation where the local population will eventually need to "decide" how to assimilate them. But that's just something that we are going to have to deal with.
