Nytt Europaparti mot islamism

Magdi Allam, den italienske chefredaktören som

döptes av Påven vid årets påskmässa tänker nu

starta ett politiskt parti inför valet till Europa-

parlamentet.

***

Allam said his "Protagonists for Christian Europe"

party would work to defend Europe's Christian values,

which he sees as being threatened by secularism and

moral relativism.

While the name of the new party conveys an impression

of a rightist, traditionalist front, beneath the surfaces

lies the authentic Magdi Allam - the Magdi Allam who

was honored two years ago by Israel, and in the US

by the American Jewish Committee, for his book,

Viva Israele! ("Long live Israel").

"Israel's right to exist" is a basic tenet of Allam's

political ideology that derives from his belief in

the religious principle of "the sacredness of life."

(....)

According to Allam, two destructive forces now

threaten European civilization.
One is an absence of ethical values in a "savage

capitalism that ignores human rights, paradoxically

emulating today's Communist China."
The other is, quite straightforwardly, Islam -

which he defines as a "religion of violence."

En konvertit på dödslistan

Ni minns säkert den italienske journalisten

Magdi Allam som konverterade från islam

till kristendomen och döptes av Påven under

årets påskmässa. Inte oväntat står han nu

högt på islamisternas dödslista.

Magdi Allam, the Christian convert targeted

by Islamist death threats, has expressed

concern about the danger he faces and fears

that the perpetrators may be Italian.

**

"I find it extremely worrying that today

we can find internet sites, full of al-Qaeda-

inspired thought in Italian language, giving

support to Bin Laden's terrorism,"

said Allam in an interview with Adnkronos

International (AKI) on Wednesday.Allam

is an Egyptian-born writer and deputy editor

of Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera,

who converted from Islam to Roman Catholicism

in a highly publicised Easter service conducted

by Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican in April.

"I find this serious because the writers of these

sites are most likely Italians," Allam told AKI.

"I think that this incident should make us

understand that Italy has reached a higher and

more advanced phase of Islamic terrorism,

radicalism and extremism, as it occurred in

Great Britain, France, Holland, Germany and

Belgium."

**
"I consider these extremists and foreign Islamic

terrorists even more dangerous because they

do not have a real grounding in the linguistic,

social and cultural aspects of our country."

**

In a book entitled, Long Live Israel, Allam said

"the root of evil is innate in an Islam that is

physiologically violent and historically conflictual."
