A quote from Diana West at her blog, 13 September 2008
On September 20, a European group called Cities Against Islamisation is sponsoring a demonstration called “No to Islamisation” in Cologne/Koln, Germany. […] According to a headline posted on the website Little Green Footballs (LGF), this means: “Fascists Hijacking Anti-Jihadism in Cologne.” […] The post concludes by calling these men “fascist bastards.” Such crude invective is far better suited for spray-painting on a wall than writing even in an Internet blog, but, of course, in an Internet blog it is far more damaging to political reputations and vital causes. […]
I find it quite telling that in addition to the hysterical opposition of LGF, there are a couple of other groups also voicing opposition to the protest in Cologne/Koln – albeit in a more measured (!) tone. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has come out against the protest, and Iran, an OIC member, has separately lodged some kind of official complaint with EU President Sarkozy actually asking him to prevent this free assembly of Europeans from taking place.
LGF, OIC and Iran vs. Filip Dewinter, Mario Borghezio, Heinz-Christian Strache (and I couldn't care less about Le Pen who at least hasn't murdered 20 million people a la Stalin). I know which side I’m on.
