The Brussels Journal Distorts Muslims
THE Brussels Journal Distorts European news:
But it’s one thing dealing with facts and rational analysis. It’s quite another when pernicious sites like the Brussels Journal tar all Muslims with the same extremist brush and distort the news to portray Islam itself as destroying our society rather than Islamic extremists.
Take their report of the story above. The whole point of the story is not that Muslims complained (as far as I can tell, not one Muslim expressed anger at the tale of the Three Little Pigs). The point is rather, as Richard Littlejohn put it in his inimitable way today:
What we have here is another case of brain-dead white “liberals” taking offence on someone else’s behalf to the point of mental illness.
But how did the Brussels Journal report it?
That’s it I resign. This latest piece of lunacy has tipped me over the balance and I think I am going to start taking large quantities of drugs. Wake me up when the Muslims have gone.
The last line is the giveaway. Yes, we in the West need to be relentless in defending Western values and free speech in the wake of Islamist demands. And it’s liberals of all people who ought to be in the front line of that fight, defending those with lifetyles and attitudes which Islamists would kill.
The Brussels Journal is drivel.

I’ve never heard of the Brussels Journal, so I can’t comment on that - but I know lots of my Muslim friends are annoyed that councils try and do things like ban Christmas making them look like intolerant killjoy bigots when they don’t mind.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the State having a secular agenda, but they should be honest about it rather than pretending that it’s minorities that are demanding secularisation.

Actually just where in that article does he slate Muslims?
The fact remains a lot of people use Islam as an excuse in which to become politically correct. I meanJews do not eat pork, (Have a look I think you will find that Islam copied that as well as a few other tenets of the jewish faith) yet when was the last time you saw pigs getting banned for upsetting jews.
