Sveriges konsul i Istanbul: Islam er og bliver en europæisk religion

The outspoken consul general, who is a doctor of divinity and the author of more than 10 books on the subjects of Europe’s relationship with faith, terrorism, Islam and minorities, has said that the trend towards a multi-racial and multi-confessional Europe is unstoppable; therefore, Islam must be recognized and regarded as a “domestic” European religion.

Karlsson, whose latest book will be available in Sweden today, titled “Europe and the Turk,” said that Turkey’s membership in the European Union would demonstrate the falsity of the argument that Islam and democracy cannot mix, also helping to bring about favorable changes in the Islamic world’s attitude towards Europe.

“There is nothing which intrinsically prevents a Muslim from being as good a Swede as a member of the Pentecostal Bretheren or an adherent of the Jewish faith, nor is there anything that prevents mosques from becoming as natural a feature of Swedish cities as churches have always been in İstanbul, Aleppo, Damascus, Mosul or Cairo,” Karlsson said.

Referring to the Muslim population of Europe, Karlsson said,

“A ‘no’ to Turkey on religious and cultural grounds would be disastrous for Europe since it would send an immediate and strong message to the fastest growing segments of Europe’s population that they will always be considered unwelcome and second-class citizens, even if they choose a secular way of life.” .

“Sending such a message could, before we know it, lead to the emergence of a ghetto Islam in Europe instead of a modern tolerant European Islam. Radical mullahs all over Europe are already doing their best to exploit Muslim immigrants’ psychological, cultural and material problems for their own purposes, and this message would only make their work easier,” he said, adding, “A Turkish membership in the European Union will facilitate a necessary integration process and thus counteract a development fraught with momentous consequences for Europe.” .

Nu skal vi åbenbart trues til at acceptere Tyrkiets indtræden i EU.

  1. I det hele taget et stort nej til det cirkus, fogh proklamerede stolt at nu var henvisningen til de kristne rødder i europa fjernet fra den nye traktat….Hvem er det mon liiige der skal tages hensyn til, ergo som jeg sagde fra starten af v og K kan man ikke stole på, deres linie op af DF var KUN for at sikre taburetter.

    Reelt er der kun DF hvis man elsker Danmark, de andre skidderikker har kun splittet landet ad !

  2. Islam er lige så orientalsk som asatroen er nordisk.
    Det er noget påtaget vrøvl, den ambassadør har sagt.

    Jep !

    Men tilgiv ham – han er SVENSKER !

    Og sidste gang disse rendte sammen med et Herrerfolk var i 30érne og 40érne .

  4. Man hører faktisk oftere og oftere i medierne om Europas kristne OG islamiske rødder. Den skal ind så alle gentager den. ‘Den Europæiske kristislamiske kultur’.

    Hodja – hvordan forklarer disse medier deres udsagn, hvis altså de definerer dette ?

    ” Den Europæiske kristislamiske kultur “…….?

  6. ->6: Jeg har hørt det flere gange i DR-P1. det bliver bare bnævnt som en kendsgerning. Islam hører med til Europas rødder.

    Der var en serie for nogle måneder siden på flere afsnit. Et af dem omhandlede Muhammed og islams indlydelse på den europæiske kultur. Kan det passe at det var med chefen for DR’s tidligere islam-redaktion Jon Kaldan?
