Not sure about your methods, but the wussiness of the European continent and the West in general is astounding and sad. All hail political correctness!!

From Wikipedia...Dont know how accurate...

Livingstone became involved in a major dispute with Peter Tatchell, who had previously supported him, when he invited the Islamic scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi to a conference on the wearing of the hijab by schoolgirls in July 2004. The conference was called following the French law on secularity and conspicuous religious symbols in schools, which particularly affected Muslim girls. Peter Tatchell, who had stood as an independent Livingstone supporter in the 2000 elections, strongly criticised the invitation because of al-Qaradawi’s support for “female genital mutilation, wife-beating, the execution of homosexuals in Islamic states, the destruction of the Jewish people, the use of suicide bombs against innocent civilians and the blaming of rape victims who do not dress with sufficient modesty”.[19] Livingstone defended the invite on grounds of Qaradawi’s eminence as “one of the most authoritative Muslim scholars in the world today” who “has done most to combat socially regressive interpretations of Islam on issues like women’s rights and relations with other religions”. He also published a dossier giving a point by point rebuttal of Tatchell’s claims. [20][21]
According to Le Monde diplomatique, Livingstone had requested a report to inform himself on al-Qaradawi before his visit. After reading the study, he concluded “nearly all of the lies distorting al-Qaradawi’s statements came from the MEMRI institute, which pretends to be an institute of objective research. However, we found out that the MEMRI had been founded by a former MOSSAD officer, who systematically distorts not only al-Qaradawi’s statements, but what many other Muslim scholars say. In most of the cases, disinformation is total, and this is why I published this study.” [22]
Peter Tatchell formed part of a coalition of some London based community groups which objected to al-Qaradawi, but whom Livingstone refused to meet. The Lesbian and Gay Coalition against Racism issued a statement of support for Livingstone signed, among others, by Ben Summerskill of Stonewall and Linda Bellos, which cited his record of support for gay rights “irrespective of the differing views over his meeting with the Muslim scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi”.[23] The row went on for many months, with Livingstone insistent that the Mayor of a major diverse city had a duty to maintain close relationships with all faith groups even if he disagreed with some of their views.

” LONDON (AFP) - London Mayor Ken Livingstone called on Britons Saturday not to demonize Muslims after a double car bomb plot was foiled in the capital, amid fears of a Islamist terror threat. “

not any different the what Bush was saying after 9/11

Londoners: "Do you expect us to talk?"

Livingstone, Mayor-of-Terrorists in London: " No. I expect you to die."

Muslims have defeated Spain. Europe is overrun. Britain is now the target. Unfortunately, England is not the England of 1939.

England is now a totally socialist state and as such has lost the will to preserve the constitutional tradition. The Muslims will hammer Britain until the people demand that their government roll over and surrender just as Spain did.

Guess who is next? (President Bush, call your office!)

what you have stated is so true throughout the free world.

muslims—all of them, including the so-called ‘moderates’—should be DEPORTED. i would not trust any muslim in a liberty country.

they are all waiting for the signal to establish ISLAM WOWRLD RULE. those who do not respond to the signal will be slain by muslims.

And after the Muslims kill their way to world rule, what will they do? This is a culture that is unable to make a paper-clip.
