1. About time that Europe woke up
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (02.06.11)
"European governments have been too tolerant of some sectors of society that publicly oppose democracy or reject equal rights for all. " While at the same time they demand equality for their group and misuse democracy to stamp out the ideals, culture, and laws of Europe that have lead the western world.
2. The same empty slogans of "Israel"!
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.06.11)
No one sane could support extremism, but at the same time you can not eliminate it without the elimination of the roots of extremism.
3. A much needed shift in orientation and
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (02.06.11)
unbridled tolerance on the part of the UK government. It's merited, of course, but, according to Melanie Phillips ("Londonstan"), too late. At any rate, PM Cameron's statement is an attack against a kind of multiculturalism so out of control that it risks the very existence of Britain's culture including, but not limited to, its judicial principles originally enshrined in the Magna Carta.
4. Wrong track
Sobieski ,   Germany   (02.06.11)
Is it so hard to get? it is about ISLAMIC terrorism! BUT, youre right in "emptiness". It is time to act against domestic islamofascists !!! Ps how about converting to christianity or judaism? You are on the wrong track!
5. The dust has not yet settled in Tunisia & Egypt to rejoice
Joe ,   Canada   (02.06.11)
The final regimes which will rule Tunisia & Egypt are not yet in sight. Even if democratic elections take place in these two countries there is no guarranty they will be democratic regimes as the cases of Iran in the 70's & Gaza more recently have amply demonstrated. The demonstration is also lacking that Islam & its Sharia as currently applied are compatible with Western democratic values be it for women or with regard to religious tolerance . And one may wonder how one can hope to use rational discourse with irrational extremist minds to make them "see the light". As long as these doubts persist, rigorous control of the borders on the preventing of entry of violence prone Islamists should be the first precaution to maintain or implement. where needed
6. to Salma
John Tel-Aviv   (02.06.11)
How can you be that naive Salma? Why the heck do we always need to bother about your problems and why your society and culture is hell-bent on destroying ours and killing us? Stop hiding behind countless excuses that the West, USA and Israel has so much upset,offended and insulted you guys, that you're forced to blow up buses and cafes in Jerusalem and London. I don't care what the girevances are of nad mullahs and suicide bombers. I don't care if a robber in the street wants to rob or kill because he had an unhappy childhood and urinated into his bed till the age of ten. Root causes? You failed society, idoelogy, backward religion, which everybody tried to brand as "religion of peace" - do you think that anyone seriously think that?, the fact that you are still stuck in Middle Ages. You can only use things that hated West can give you - medicine, technologies, computers, and all you have for the Wets - is hatred and jealosy. As long as you stay where you are - you won't get any better, and be looking for excuses and the ways to get insulted.
7. Europe on snooze alarm; Europe says wake me up in 10 years
Observer ,   Earth   (02.06.11)
When some EU contries go from 8-10% to near 15-20%...........
8. To Salma # 2
jo   (02.06.11)
You are correct in your assessememt, except that I would add that the root of extremism throughout the world is ISLAM. Islam that let a dz. or so despots run the miserable life of 1.3 billions " beloved brothers " while THEY drain the wealth of your countries. Thanks to you, they are ALL billionaires and 100's of millions of their people starve. --- Mubarak 70 billions?, King Abdullah a great deal more, Tunis Pres cleaned up the people's treasury on his way out, Gaddafi swims in this stuff; Arafat, abbas, haniyeh, do you know where the billions went? Same with all your "righteous" who call their " fidels" to Arms, while smiling all the way to the bank. Salma, you should convert to Judaism; at least we prosecute our thieves, our crooks, and hold them accountable.
9. PM Cameron:Europe must wake up
EU Citizen   (02.06.11)
Do not believe our governments all over EU.I would say at the moment there are about 18 to 22% Muslims iin the EU.In another 25-50 years,guaranteed MUSLIMS will be majority,and Europe will be second MIDDLE EAST.
10. NO. 6 & 8 are extremism posts.
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.06.11)
the real extremist is ignorance. i'm a muslim, does that mean i'm an extremist?! are there no Jews and Christians extremists ?! Whatever your religion is, you must show all respect to all other religions as they are all belong to one God. Don't trail anybody according his beliefs but acording to his acts.
11. #3 have you been to Montreal or Toronto lately?
Al   (02.06.11)
Same kind of crap is coming to Canada in the very near future. Another reason for me to hightail it out of here. My only concern is the burial place of my late parents. Our beloved Canada is changing for the worst.
12. Cameron on Islamic extremism
DT ,   Ta Israel   (02.06.11)
Too late and the UK has got not the courage to act anyhow. Just more hot air from political nobodys

15. Salma no 10
JUDAH THE LION   (02.06.11)
Ofcourse there are extremists among Jews & Christian, and I am one of them. I was leftist,but I changed my views because of your terror suicided bombing in buses,market,cafes,etc,. Jews & Christians will obey the local law and will not try to take the country,but you MUSLIMS are saying it is your duty to convert the local infidels to Islam.You are also saying you want the world to be ISLAM. No way,this will; never HAPPEN
16. To Al #11

Peter ,   UK   (02.06.11)
20. #2 exactly, salmapal!
JB ,   SoCal, USA   (02.06.11)
dear salm preaches: "No one sane could support extremism, but at the same time you can not eliminate it without the elimination of the roots of extremism." EXACTLY !!! The roots of extremism = the ridiculous, sadistic & intolerant koran and the imams who spout this nonsense. Time to go back home to your sandboxes now -- Adios, MF-ers!
21. River of blood
EU Citizen   (02.06.11)
Can you remember the speech by the late ENOCH POWELL.The only mistake he made it will not be BLACK AGIANST WHITE, BUT CHRISTIAN AGAINST ISLAM .It can happen if Europe do not wake up from their deep sleep.
22. European Dhimnis
Kevin Ingram ,   Kingston,Jamaica   (02.06.11)
For too long Europe had their heads buried in the sand. They have allowed fear and indecision to be their undoing. I have always marvelled how these immigrants (mostly Muslims) beg and scream to come to Europe and seek political asylum and a few months after ther demostrating for Sharia law. This coulf only happen because the men in these countries have been emmasculated over time and also because of the removal of Christianity from Europe. Leaders like Winston Churchil,Oliver Cromwell must be rolling in their graves whenthey see their countries being overun by mosques and Bhurkhas. The next thing if you are a refugee in my country living off welfare you need to abide by my rules or you leave. these are time honored principles that have been swept away by the nonsensical multilculturism. I am happy to see leaders like Angela Merkle ,David Cameron standing up and speaking the truth. But i must ask the question what was the Europeans expecting when they filled their countries with persons from Pakistan, Somalia,Algeria, Morroco etc.Many of these folks grew up seeing women as chattells, Islam the only game in town and female genital mutilation and child marriage as the norm. If you allow them they will continue to live that way especially if they are paid to do it. The long and short of it is thia Islam and western values are incompatible and Europe continue Muslim immigration at its own peril. May GOD have mercy on Europe
23. #2's speech is a common blakcmailing one, nowadays
Justin Case ,   Brasil   (02.06.11)
24. no 8
(02.06.11)
dear jo, I can find a good jewish husband if she wants.
25. 20 years from today, Queen Kate will be wearing a hijab
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (02.06.11)
26. Israel wake up to the charideem and Shas
Avi ,   Israel   (02.06.11)
About time Israel woke up to the religious blackmail from Shas and the ultra orthadox, who encourage their followers not to work not to serve in the IDF and milk they system dry . Seperate state from religion.
27. #8 May I add to your excellent points?
Chana ,   Israel/Indiana   (02.06.11)
about the leaders of the moslem world enriching themselves off their subjects with no regard to their welfare? The radical islamists think nothing of inflaming and using weak-minded, misguided co-religionists as murderer-bombers, while they themselves live in relative comfort in a house? They are considered heroes by some, but they are truly despicable lowlife, no better than the leaders they are trying to supplant. And we're not even talking of the glaring misogyny of an offer of a reward of 72 virgins for their lives!
28. #14 like Mega mosques on twin tower site/HUSSAIN Obama ?
(02.06.11)
Does Europe have this? No, America does. America, land of the free, first for everything they say, first for Islam leader? First for Islam take over.
29. #25 Israel has higher Muslim pop per total than ALL europe
(02.06.11)
Your just jealous your not a future queen and just some person in boring Ashdod
30. #12 political nobodies?
