#2 To grant it would prove to a skeptical Muslim world that when Europe talks about embracing diversity, it means exactly what it says.
In other words, we'll kill ourselves, we mean it! What drivel. Since when does the Muslim world care about diversity? They only care about unity: Dar al-Islam (which is what Europe would soon become if Turkey were admitted).
