#2 Today, the group had only its second meeting, and this descended into disagreement and acrimony. The source of this contention was a document which was presented to the group by member Souad Sbai, president of the Confederation of Italy's Moroccans.

The document stated that the Consulta Islamica should condemn terrorism, religious fundamentalism and should be in favour of religious freedoms in the Islamic world.

Whoa Nelly! Sound a little too reasonable to me. Let's see what their Islamic counterparts say.

Only 9 members were prepared to sign the document, while 7 refused. Mohammed Nour Dachan (pictured), president of the Community of Islamic Organisations in Italy, or UCOII, which is the largest Muslim group in Italy, refused to sign, saying that "the role of the Consulta should be to advise the minister on specific problems and not to approve documents of this kind." The UCOII represents about 800,000 Muslims in Italy.

That's more like it. Of course, condemning terrorism should never be on any significant Islamic agenda. Why, that would require adopting a reasonable stance and abandoning the Islamist wet-dream of ~~suicide-by-nuke~~ global sharia.

Another refusenik was Amadia Rachid, an imam from Salerno, southern Italy.

Deport his @ss along with the others who refused. Maybe even their entire congregations. After all, the imam speaks for them, no?

Nour Dachan prefers the Consulta Islamica to deal with issues like mosque construction, according to a memorandum he submitted. He also said the group should not just deal with problems concerning Muslim immigrants.

The Consulta Islamica today proposed that Arab language courses should take place in Italian state schools.

Creeping domination, I thought I smelled something.

The fact that almost half of these Muslim representatives refused to sign a document condemning terrorism only shows that it is pointless for governments to give any credence to these groups.

Well, at least someone still has their eyes open.

#3 actually im pleased that 9 out of 16 were willing to condemn, and the rest had to weasel out of it by saying it was "out of scope"

#6 Monolingualism IS freedom

Yeah sure, and "Arbeit macht frei".

I don't see France or Spain proclaiming how their respective nations' religions should be immune to satire or lampooning. Creeping domination is a hallmark of the Islam's subversive nature. So long as they subscribe to such a policy, any intrusion of their culture into compulsory education, mass media and public dialogue needs to be met with a strong sense of skepticism until Islam shows some sort of genuine determination to actually coexist with other religions.

Right now, were are confronted with a political ideology masquerading as a religion and demanding exclusive preferential treatment at every turn while excluding all other religions from wherever they predominate. If that doesn't set off your suspicion meter, you're probably brain dead. Then again, I suppose anything's possible for someone who actually believes that there can be productive negotiations with Iran vis halting their nuclear weapons program.
