O Ocidente é melhor, II. Por Henrique Raposo.
Um conselho aos meus amigos católicos: se querem respeito, comecem a dar tiros e a matar os engraçados que gozam com o Papa e com a Igreja. Vão ver como toda a gente começa a dizer que o Papa é um porreiro.
Neste momento, é só o medo que prende a Europa ao multiculturalismo. Resta saber como vamos sair desse medo. O politicamente correcto, hoje, é só medo. Já foi mtas coisas. Mas hoje é só medo.

“Paul Berman reported:
When I met Hirsi Ali at a conference in Sweden last year, she was protected by no less than five bodyguards. Even in the United States she is protected by bodyguards. But this is no longer unusual. Buruma himself mentions in Murder in Amsterdam that the Dutch Social Democratic politician Ahmed Aboutaleb requires full-time bodyguards. At that same Swedish conference I happened to meet the British writer of immigrant background who has been obliged to adopt the pseudonym Ibn Warraq, out of fear that, in his case because of his Bertrand Russell-influenced philosophical convictions, he might be singled out for assassination.
I happened to attend a different conference in Italy a few days earlier and met the very brave Egyptian-Italian journalist Magdi Allam, who writes scathing criticisms of the new totalitarian wave in Il Corriere della Sera – and I discovered that Allam, too, was traveling with a full complement of five bodyguards. The Italian journalist Fiamma Nierenstein, because of her well-known sympathies for Israel, was accompanied by her own bodyguards. Caroline Fourest, the author of the most important extended criticism of Ramadan, had to go under police protection for a while. The French philosophy professor Robert Redeker has had to go into hiding …
So Salman Rushdie has metastasized into an entire social class, a subset of the European intelligentsia – its Muslim wing especially – who survive only because of their bodyguards and their own precautions. This is unprecedented in Western Europe during the last 60 years.
Williams’ exercise in what might be termed the Higher Hypocrisy shows how deeply Europe has descended into the Dar al-Harb, or the “House of War” in the Muslim terms for all that lies outside the “house of submission”, or Dar al-Islam. Europe’s governments refuse to rule, that is, refuse to enforce their own laws because they fear violence on the part of Muslim immigrant communities who refuse to accept these laws. “No-go” zones proliferate that non-Muslims dare not enter. In the United Kingdom, according to evidence presented by respected journalists and public-interest organizations, Muslim community organizations, Muslim police officers and medical personnel collaborate to stop women from escaping domestic violence. “
