France: Erdogan Calls "Islamophobia" Crime Against Humanity, Islam Still "Religion of Peace"

The relentless attack against Western Liberty continues, as Turkey's Islamist Prime Minister demands the thought crime of "Islamophobia" be declared a crime against humanity. Like any other thought crimes, "Islamophobia" assumes the issue at hand; that is, whether Islam is in fact a Religion of Perfect Peace and Tender Tolerance, and its critics are rabid racists deserving of scorn.

STRASBOURG, 29 June 2006 - The incitement to hatred of Islam should be considered a crime against humanity, Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a speech before the Council of Europe in Strasbourg yesterday.

"Just as anti-Semitism is a crime against humanity, so should Islamophobia be regarded," Erdogan said. Erdogan warned against the growing phobia against Islam and foreigners in the world in which "we Muslims feel increasingly under siege."

Referring to the row over blasphemous cartoons that were originally printed in a Danish newspaper, he said freedom of expression should not be confused with the freedom to insult.

"With a (Muslim) population of between 10 and 25 percent in Europe's largest cities, it is important to follow a policy of social integration to ensure a peaceful coexistence," Erdogan said. This was a "great challenge" that could, however, be overcome "with the joint efforts of the host countries and Muslim communities."[...]
