| Funding cut after anti-Semitism report |
| 2003-12-04 |
| European legislators blocked funding for a center whose report said Muslims were responsible for anti-Semitism. A member of the European Parliament said the $240,000 was being held up until a controversy surrounding the report was cleared up. The Vienna-based E.U. Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia suppressed the report, but it was released this week by European Jewish groups. |

| #5 Old Patriot: You're right, of course. It just gets so damn frustrating! Everybody's been pretty standup through this except for these three crapweasels, and they make the whole area look bad. It's like France is trying to win an award for Most Repugnant Nation. |

| #4 Created - look at the political implications of trying to protect your Arab/Muslim population from "racism and discrimination", then your center reporting that they're responsible for attacks and incitement against your Jews. |

| #3 TS, I checked your link, but I am still fuzzy on the funding block. Is the funding being blocked because the center created the report or because the center surpressed the report? |

| #2 I'm just about finished mocking the Europeans, and just about ready to start hating them for real. "Europeans" is just a tad bit too wide a brush, BH. Need to narrow it down to the EU Franco/German/Belgian axis of spineless weasels. AFAIK, there are still some people here and there in Europe that deserve our support - Berlusconi in Italy, the British and Spanish, Poles, Bulgars, and a smattering of other, smaller countries that know and understand what FREEDOM means, and what it costs. The Center of Stupidity is currently Brussels, but does have tentacles in a number of other places. Vienna seems to harbor one of those. |
