PARIS (EJP)---Prominent Muslim and Jewish leaders from across Europe pledged to stand together against the rise of extreme-right xenophobic and racist parties that represent an escalating peril to ethnic and religious minorities across Europe, including Jews and Muslims.

These leaders made the pledge during a gathering in Paris of the “Coordinating Committee of European Muslim and Jewish Leaders.”

The first meeting of the Coordinating Committee was initiated by the New York-based Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU), the World Council for Muslim Inter-Faith Relations (WCMIR), and the World Jewish Congress (WJC).

It is follow up to the first annual Gathering of European Muslim and Jewish leaders, which was launched in Brussels last December.

Together with top communal leaders from Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the US, the Muslim and Jewish leaders announced plans for a series of public events in European capitals, on 9 May which marks Europe Day.

The leaders expressed deep concern about the emergence into the political mainstream of extremist parties in many European countries and declared that it was “totally unacceptable” that several of these parties had been accepted by governing coalitions as tacit partners where they are allowed to help shape the agenda.

Contending that “Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, xenophobia and racism must never be allowed to become respectable,” the leaders expressed disquiet over recent pronouncements by European statesmen including President Sarkozy of France, Chancellor Merkel of Germany and Prime Minister Cameron of Britain, characterizing multiculturalism as a “failure”. These comments, they said, have been cited by extreme-right parties as evidence that they are winning the battle for public opinion in Europe

It’s as disgusting as it is funny.

These “ethical” leftists don’t seem too concerned about the women and children who face torture and death in other cultures. That probably explains why judges in Europe will frequently drop all charges on foreigners accused of violent crimes. Left-wing “ethics” is all about feeling good about yourself for being “tolerant” and “non-intrusive” in the face of obvious evil. Of course, this “tolerance” doesn’t apply when a selfish disgusting leftist wants the money out of someone else’s pocket.

The Muslims can have Europe and all the leftists. They can all go sleep together.
