Should it be restricted/limited to certain issues. [{(Holocaust)}]
2. integration is a big problem.
gsea   (04.22.09)
in most of the cases is the second generation who want to be closer to it's roots then the parents generation, unfotunatlly only they can change that, by education, they don't have much choises, either get with the program or face an estranged environment.
3. It was rather funny.

in Europe" Gee ya think!?
5. Good article
Blonde Mermaid ,   Danemark   (04.22.09)
each day, there are more a more Europeans, and partculary Danes, who awake to the threat for our civilization cause dby these migrants who doesn't want to integrate, but bring with them their violence, and middle eastern prejudice. This is the reason for the rightist raise in the poll nearly everywher ein Europe. We simply do not want to be invaded by these muslims who where impose dupon us by leftist governements in the 70's. We feel closer to the israelis who share the same western style, civilized way of life.
6. Freedom of expression
NilsG ,   Helsingborg, Sweden   (04.22.09)
Simply put, if you do put some limits on the freedom of expression, such as making denying the Holocaust a crime, this gives rise to the question of other things that it should also be forbidden to say, or print. Don't get me wrong - Holocaustdeniers are at best idiots and at worst scum, but once you have started to limit the freedom of expression it is a freedom that will be claimed - by idiots and scum, for instance.
7. No. 5
Not so blond mermaid ,   DK   (04.22.09)
Godt skrevet!!!!!!!!!
8. This is also an issue in Israel
Avi ,   Israel   (04.22.09)
The same exists in Israel today. The Ultra Orthadox are trying to impose Jewish law on non belivers , which will always lead to conflict. Israel is indeed a Jewish state but that includes all jews from all origins and all levels of jewish obseervnce. Israel was founded as a jewish democratic state and was never defined to be a state run according to Jewish law. To try to impose this kind of religious law on non-belivers is not acceptable and never will be. When it comes down to it "religion" is the reason for all conflict.
9. Israel is behind cartoon conspirarcy-should be condamned
Tayfun_Turkey   (04.22.09)
How many times should they kick Israel to understand Europe does not like, do not approve any Israeli actions especially massacres in Palestine 100 countries kicked israel's back but still israeli press taking out a zionist servent from hat to speak supportive to Israel
10. Is Europe a slow boiled frog?
redbourn ,   tel aviv   (04.22.09)
Several people that I know have recently compared Europe to a "slow boiled frog". The boiling frog story states that a frog can be boiled alive if the water is heated slowly enough, but will jump out, if dropped into boiling water. It's certainly easy to see why they make the comparison, Mike
11. #1 due to holocaust europeans R more tolerant towards you
(04.22.09)
make sure europe doesn't forget what the dislike to foreigners can do. no matter what you think, foreigners includes arabs too.
12. "There's a problem with Muslims in Europe"
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (04.22.09)
Bukhari:V5B59N524 "The Muslims said among themselves, 'Will Safiyah be one of the Prophet's wives or just a lady captive and one of his possessions?'" Following such an example you bet we have problems with the muslims in Europe. Is the problem really only confined to the so called islamists, or is the problem islam itself?
13. Europes Muslim problem
DT ,   TA Israel   (04.22.09)
It's only a matter of (short ) time before Europe is lost to Islam unless you can find a scrap of courage from somewhere and deal with it which I doubt
14. to #9 yeah yeah yeah

17. The Islamic world is playing a sophisticated game of ...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (04.22.09)
The Islamic world is playing a sophisticated game of media manipulation The world often views Islam as a seventh century anachronism. But the truth is the Islamic world is playing and winning a sophisticated game of media manipulation in which powerful and wealthy police states and anti-democratic political movements are more often portrayed and perceived – at least in the context of the Arab-Jewish conflict – as victims rather than threatening oppressors. The game is based on the Arab culture of exaggeration. More at : http://xrl.us/kkxrc
18. Islam and Western values.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (04.22.09)
If Israel ceased to exist or had never existed, does anyone really believe that radical Islam would be at peace with the West? The conflict with Israel is not the cause of radical Islam’s anger/rejection of the West; it is radical Islam’s rejection of Western values and freedoms that caused the conflict with western, democratic Israel. As explained at : http://xrl.us/bkm2m
19. What a Shame !!!
Ra ,   Israel   (04.22.09)
Of course with your glorifying past history of your ancestors ....after killing millions people in Africa and making them slaves ...and converting most of the part of world to colony and extorting and sucking them and bringing all the wealth from there to your contry ..and abolishing all aboriginals peoples in America and Africa and killing thousand of Jews... you great civilized European really feel bad to live next to those people.. ( Muslim is just excuse !! you basically hate all others..race, religion or human being. by the way this Muslims came from Africa..your previous killing field.) .. such a Hypocrites creature...what a shame !!!!!!!!!!
20. He is the problem, Muslims in EU not a problem
Abu Jihad ,   Yaffa, Palestine   (04.22.09)
the vast majority of moslems in the EU are there to have a better life for themselves and their children. Statistics show that the crime rate is extemely low among the muslim community in the UK for example and they have a very high rate of third level education and less likely to use social welfare. A small minority does not make a general rule. If someone has said balcks are an EU problem bc they have a high rate of crimes and unemployment in their community then s/he will be branded a racist. Let move away from unhelpful stereotyping. Moselms, like other minorities in the EU want to live in peace. However, this requires work on both sides to accept each others. the Cartoons and comments by this editors are not helpful. If he wants to help the process of moslem integration, then he should stop inciting and insulting. How would a jew react if this newspaper published demeaning pictures of holocaust jews?
21. abu
afc ,   ISRAEL   (04.22.09)
you only have to go to egypt syria or any other muslim contry to and pick up any paper on any day to see the anti semitic cartoons. but anyone says anything bad about islam and you all start threatening to set the world alight. you are bullys and like any bully you dont like it when people stand up to you.
22. to #20 but other minorities
ghostq   (04.22.09)
didn't explod themselves in trains and had violent riots just because they thought someone offended them, the rep they got was created by their own hands. and jews caricatures published in arab magazins all the time you don't see jews make violent riots against muslem centers in EU.
23. Muslims never disrespect Jewish or Christian believes...
... LEARN, PLEASE ,   Atilla Karagözoğlu   (04.22.09)
24. #20 - You hit the nail on the head - Abu Moron!
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (04.22.09)
We wouldn't and don't like the routinely racists and disgusting cartoons published by arabs and the current occupying regime in persia about us, including holocaust surviviors. But we don't riot. We don't burn. We don't kill over it. We open our mouths and protest. That's why Jews are different than arabs and other mustlims.
25. #23
(04.22.09)
"Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low. "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they! Qur'an 9:29-30
