"All across Europe, the new breed of right-wing populists are trying to revive their political fortunes by appealing to anti-Muslim prejudice."
--quoted from The Observer

How true. Such "right-wing populists" as Oriana Fallaci, for example. She managed remarkably well to keep her "right-wing" attitudes hidden for fifty years, from the time, as a young teenager, she helped her father and other Italians fighting the German soldiers in Florence, to her affair with a Greek left-wing political figure who was murdered for his views, and about whom she wrote in "Un Uomo" ("A Man"). Or such "right-wing" figures as Pim Fortuyn (murdered by a "animal-rights activist," mentally deficient, who had been persuaded that Muslims, being as "vulnerable" as the animals he was used to defending, had to be protected from the likes of Pim Fortuyn, that libertine leftist. As "right-wing" as Theo van Gogh, presumably. As "right-wing" as Ayaan Hirsi Ali, self-described "child of the Enlightenment" which she learned about in the Netherlands.

Oh, yes, all of Europe is full of these "right-wing" people, who have all "tried to revive their political fortunes by appealing to anti-Muslim prejudice" -- and just look at how well they are all doing, at how well Pim Fortuyn is doing, or Theo van Gogh, or how triumphantly Ayaan Hirsi Ali  strides down the streets of Amsterdam -- and right beside her, of course, also without a care in the world, because he has managed by his "appeal to anti-Muslim prejudice" to "revive his political fortunes" is -- Geert Wilders.

Yes, it's all a deliberate and cruel act, the fomenting of prejudice against the inoffensive Muslims in our midst, who have done nothing in London, Madrid, Amsterdam, Beslan, New York, Washington, Jerusalem, New Delhi, or a thousand other places, to deserve the "anti-Muslim prejudice" whipped up by all those "right-wing populists."
