About 150 people protested Saturday outside the site of a conference in Paris organized to criticize the "Islamization" of Europe.
Protesters held banners reading "United Against Islamophobia" and "Fascists, get out of our neighborhoods." Socialist Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe had asked police to ban the conference, but police allowed it to go forward under surveillance.
The conference was organized by several French groups, including nationalist political group Bloc Identitaire, that frequently complain about what they see as Islam's growing influence over traditional French values. France has Western Europe's largest Muslim population. [AP] Read more
Time is Now: Stop the Islamification of Our Countries I am delighted to be here in Paris, the birthplace of modern European secular governance. And I am especially delighted to have been invited here by Gandalf, who founded the Alliance to Stop Sharia. Gandalf has been instrumental in shifting the focus of the European Counterjihad from Islam as a religion to the evils of sharia law.
When you discuss Islam and/or sharia law, have you been accused of being an Islamophobe? A nazi? A xenophobe? A bigot? A misunderstander of Islam (copyright R. Spencer)?
