A emigração muçulmana transforma a Finlândia

As in other European countries (here and here), the politically correct guardians of Finnish multiculturalism have tried to silence public discussion about the escalating problem of Muslim immigration.
In March 2009, for example, Jussi Kristian Halla-aho, a politician and well-known political commentator, was taken to court on charges of "incitement against an ethnic group" and "breach of the sanctity of religion" for writing that Islam is a religion of paedophilia. He was referring to the Islamic prophet Mohammed, who is believed to have married a six year old girl and consummated the marriage when she was nine.
A Helsinki court later dropped the charges of blasphemy but ordered Halla-aho to pay a fine of €330 ($450) for disturbing religious worship. The Finnish public prosecutor, incensed at the lower court's dismissal of the blasphemy charges, appealed the case to the Finnish Supreme Court, where it is now being reviewed.
Halla-Aho, the best-known political blogger in Finland, maintains a blog entitled Scripta, that deals with issues such as "immigration, multiculturalism, tolerance, racism, freedom of speech and political correctness." His blog has between 3,000 and 6,000 readers a day. According to Halla-aho, immigration is a taboo topic in Finland. He has received death threats because of his web columns, which criticize the number of immigrants coming to Finland and argue that Muslims cannot be integrated. [...]

Congolês apresenta queixa contra "Tintin no Congo"


"Tintin no Congo", segunda aventura de Tintin, "velha" de 77 anos, volta a ser alvo de acusações de racismo, desta vez por parte de um congolês, residente na Bélgica, que avançou com um processo no Tribunal de Primeira Instância de Bruxelas contra a sociedade Moulinsart, que gere os direitos da obra de Hergé, exigindo a sua imediata retirada de circulação.
O autor da queixa, Mbutu Mondondo Bienvenu, considera o álbum "racista e xenófobo", acrescentando que "foram estas teses racistas que serviram de suporte às descriminações sociais, às segregações étnicas e a actos de violência como os genocídios". E acrescenta que Hergé reconheceu que o álbum podia ter essa leitura quando disse "que, na sua época, não podia deixar de considerar os negros como crianças grandes", afirmando "não ser mais racista que os seus contemporâneos", reclamando, por isso, indemnização de um euro.
Esqueceu-se, no entanto, de que Hergé também afirmou "não gostar dos colonialistas", fez diversas alterações quando remodelou o álbum para a versão colorida, em 1946, e que condenou claramente o tráfico de escravos negros em "Carvão no Porão". [...]

‘Os britânicos precisam de ser ver como uma única nação‘ diz Ministra da Segurança britânica

It is not enough for Muslims to “rub along” without breaking the law, they must be persuaded that their long-term future lies in Britain, the Security Minister has said.
Baroness Neville-Jones told the Daily Telegraph that that at the same time the government need to persuade the majority of the population that the UK is a single nation.
The minister said there needed to be a new approach in which people did not simply “rub along together and as long as people obey the law that’s quite sufficient.”
“I think it’s a common experience now that we know less about each other than we used to and I think there’s a very strong feeling that we need to understand each other and we need to be working together as a nation,” Lady Neville-Jones added.
“[We are] trying to convince minorities in this country that they actually do have a long term future here and that it’s their country as much as anybody else’s,” she said in an interview.
It is also important to “convince the majority population we are a single nation,” she added
