Lotusflower Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 You could be right, but they do appear to be correct in their claim, there was a time when the BNP’s claims were dismissed out of hand yet they have been proven to be right on numerous occasions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Institute http://www.hudson.org/ The Hudson Institute is an American conservative[2][3] non-profit think tank based in Washington, D.C.. It was founded in 1961. Well, the evidence of how multiculturalism “has gone wrong” is in. This week Soeren Kern at the Hudson Institute documented the proliferation of such no-go zones throughout Europe – autonomous Islamic “microstates” under Sharia rule (having rejected their host countries’ legal systems), where non-Muslims must either conform to the cultural, legal, and religious norms of fundamentalist Islam or expect to be greeted with violence. Islamic extremism has turned some communities into no-go areas for people of a different faith or race, a Church of England bishop has said. The French government has announced a plan to boost policing in 15 of the most crime-ridden parts of France in an effort to reassert state control over the country’s so-called "no-go” zones: Muslim-dominated neighborhoods that are largely off limits to non-Muslims Mr. Kern certainly gets around a bit. He's the same author in the other article you posted from the Gatestone institute. He is a Neo-Con with an axe to grind and imo will tailor whatever cloth he's talking about to fit his own needs. He could hardly be called impartial imo. To accept everything he says as the truth is folly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmaximus Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Mr. Kern certainly gets around a bit. He's the same author in the other article you posted from the Gatestone institute. Yes he does, Biography Soeren Kern is the Senior Fellow for Transatlantic Relations at the Madrid-based Grupo de Estudios Estratégicos / Strategic Studies Group, one of the oldest and most influential foreign policy think tanks in Spain. He is also an essayist on transatlantic geopolitics, especially on Europe's continuing endeavour to "counterbalance" the United States on the global stage. Soeren also advises American and European companies on transatlantic issues, and he is an analytical consultant to Jane's Information Group on Basque and Islamist terrorism and country risk in Spain. Soeren is a regular commentator about transatlantic relations for newspapers and radio programs in Spain, Europe and the United States. He also writes a column about Spanish politics for the Brussels Journal. He has been quoted in the New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, and a wide variety of other American and European newspapers. Soeren has also commented on BBC Radio, CNN, National Public Radio, as well as a broad range of European radio and television programs. Soeren teaches international relations at the Universidad Antonio de Nebrija, a private university in Madrid. Previously, he was the Senior Analyst for transatlantic relations at the Madrid-based Elcano Royal Institute for Strategic and International Affairs. He served in the United States Air Force (was stationed in Germany) during the Cold War. He was also the Washington-based managing editor of Arms Control Today, the strategic foreign affairs monthly magazine, as well as a defense analyst at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), one of the leading corporate think tanks advising the Pentagon on the policy aspects of nuclear non-proliferation. Soeren is a graduate of the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. He also studied politics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has visited more than one hundred countries, including most of those in the Middle East; he has recently returned from an extended trip to Iran, arguably one of the most fascinating countries in the world after the United States and Israel. Soeren, a native of Wisconsin, is a dual citizen of the United States and Germany, and is fluent in English, German and Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 He seems a very well educated and broad-minded American person, for sure. He's got CIA written all over him! I wish you wouldn't keep posting this, with giving it an anti-muslim context, though: The French government has announced a plan to boost policing in 15 of the most crime-ridden parts of France in an effort to reassert state control over the country’s so-called "no-go” zones: Muslim-dominated neighborhoods that are largely off limits to non-Muslims because that article is quite biased, and misleading by its choice of words. I am no hand-wringer/apologist/pro-muslim proponent at all, I just happen to be French and quite appraised of these zones from a very long date (not only through news, far from it). Most of these "no-go" areas (which are anything but 'no-go' to the authorities) include about as much muslims as people of other faiths (including in particular of the African variety). It just happens that young muslims are (allegedly) those with the highest profile amongst the anti-social elements (who are truly multi-cultural, and unfortunately plentiful).

Lotusflower Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Quite amusing to read this: East London Mosque condemns homophobia, yet advertised four anti-gay speakers last month alone "Amusing" is not a word I would have chosen. Maybe it's worth pointing out that Islam is by no means the only religion to have homophobes within its ranks but that will not fit kindly into the remit of some on this thread. I've thought for some years that there is always enough religion in the world to make us hate each other but never enough to make us love. More's the pity!

No it didn’t take any time at all to copy and paste it and some members don’t like clicking on links so it best to post the content. But thanks for the help anyway.
