One of the contributors to BJ is Fjordman. A revered blogger who maintains a personal low profile but is read by millions. Follow the link here to read his essay; “Why the European Union must go.”

Why not all go visit a British newspaper and leave a firm but polite comment. The question is about Islam in Europe, so I think it might be good if people from all over Europe gave their answers.

This is an apt place to put this information. It illustrates what SIOE is up against.
European Socialists take aim at “Islamophobia”
“European Socialists decide to tackle Islamophobia,” by Selçuk Gültaşli for Today’s Zaman:
European socialist organizations have decided to stem the increasing Islamophobia in Europe by breaking the monopoly on the debate which has, up until now, primarily belonged to far-right and ultranationalist groups.
The Party of European Socialists (PES) — a caucus representing 214 members of the European Parliament (MEPs) drawn from 33 socialist and social democratic parties — has created a committee to seek ways to combat Islamophobia. Believing that Islam is now a European religion, the 25-member committee wants to “listen” to the 20 million Muslims now living in Europe in a bid to understand their problems, as well as provide solutions to alleviate their grievances.

Note the way that the Left immediately demonise anyone or group who is concerned with the innate totalitarian nature of Islam, as a far-right wing or ultra-nationalist.
So why should an ultra-nationalist be a demonised. Is a person who is fiercely patriotic about his nation’s culture, an ultra-nationalist. Of course the EU will regard it as such, as its main aim is to destroy the national cultures of Europe.
Believing that Islam is now a European religion
Belief is quite different from fact. Islam is a religion of tribal people, and best suited to the tribal arena. Europe is nation based, and not tribal in that sense at all.
Just because there are 20 million Muslims who are in Europe does not make it European, just as the millions of south Asians in Saudi Arabia does not make Hinduism a Saudi religion.
