UAE RECALLS ITS AMBASSADOR FROM SWEDEN……

The brouhaha continues!

The United Arab Emirates recalls its Stockholm ambassador due to Foreign Minister Margot Wallström’s criticism of Saudi Arabia’s human rights record. And the opposition is critical of how the government has handled things.

Commenting on the decision to recall the ambassador, Wallström’s press secretary Erik Boman told the tabloid Aftonbladet: “We regret this of course. We have good and broad relations with the United Arab Emirates which we want to protect and develop.”

In a statement, the Foreign Minister of the UAE, Dr. Anwar Mohammed Gargash, said they had made their decision because the Foreign Minister’s “strong statements … against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its judicial system”.

Erik Boman noted that “Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have a particularly close relationship, so we should perhaps not draw any exaggerated conclusions from this”. But he added that the Swedish Foreign Office is working to re-build the relationship with Saudi Arabia, and that they hope to solve things as soon as possible.

But the foreign policy spokesperson of Sweden’s biggest opposition party, Karin Enström of the Moderates, told the news agency TT that she finds it worrying that another ambassador is recalled. “We need to be able to talk to everybody, maybe in particular those that we are critical of. I see this as a risk that our voice is not heard, and is further weakened. We need good relations. That is the foundation of diplomacy and that is the foundation for being able to make a difference,” Enström said.

The Swedish PC establishment is getting a lesson in the realities of Islam.

Sorry folks, get use to it. Your leftist mindset is intellectually incestuous, and clearly does not comprehend the reality of Islam.

Leftist women need only look at the fate of women in Saudi Arabia. Do you really think 99.9% of these women freely choose to wear a burka like garment? Why do you allow your own PC brainwashed viewpoint to keep you from looking at clearly obvious facts?

Islam is a cult. It is the force of evil in the world.

Swedish leftist mindsets ignore the reality of Islam for PC reasons. You are setting up Sweden for a Beirut style future with your multicultural madness.

Yesterday’s murder in Goteborg is the tip of the iceberg.

Pull your heads out of the sand before you sink the entire ship!

  Indeed Bob, soon enough they’ll be towing the Muslim line like faithful dhimmis

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
