[TWITTER] Islamophobia a threat to entire society, not just Muslims: EU foreign policy chief

[DAWN] European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
 Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini on Monday described rising Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
 as a threat not only for Moslems but for all of European society as it "threatens diversity".

Mogherini, who is on an official visit to Pakistain, made the comments during a joint presser with Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi after a meeting in Islamabad.

"The strength of our societies lies in our diversity, and whoever attacks the diversity of our societies attacks the entire society not just one segment of it," she said. "This is why for the European Union, institutions, for me personally, for all our member states, it is a priority to make sure that Islamophobia doesn't find any place in the European Union," she asserted.

#8  Nicely executed SPOD. Gummit contracting is as close to prostitution as one can get and still keep your britches on. My experience anyway.

#7  Diversity is news speak.

I rec1eived an official letter of reprimand and was put on a performance improvement plan because I mentioned "Christmas" in an all hands email about our company's "Holiday" party...inquiring about what my budget was for my office's Christmas party.

I resigned on the spot and walked out the door.

It is a major defense contractor and they can go fuck themselves.

#5  lord garth, back in the early 80's I worked for Digital Equipment Corp. The PR wallahs decided that all of us, at least in IS, needed to take a 3 day off site program called "Valuing Differences" it was the pre-cursor to all this diversity BS.

Another guy and I were asked if we wanted to leave as we kept asking those kinds of questions. Unfortunately they didn't follow through when we said yes. I have no idea why this crap took root other than a make work program for Liberal Arts majors.

#3  once upon a time I was attending (per organization directive) a lecture on diversity in which the speaker waxed eloquent on the subject and on the subject of valuing each person's identity

I asked whether someone who doesn't value each person's identity should be valued for their identity. The speaker didn't understand. Then I asked whether someone who advocated cannibalism should be valued for their identity. The speaker got angry at me.

Where the Hell did this brain-dead, cockamamie notion that "diversity is our strength" ever come from, anyway?

Islam is a totalitarian ideology that is COMPLETELY incompatible with democratic ideals, and constitutes a grave danger to our freedom and even our lives.

You'd think by now that would be blatantly obvious to anyone with more than one functioning brain cell, but apparently it is not.

Idiots...
