The Vatican failed in an attempt
to cover up the contents of a prayer by a Muslim cleric at an interfaith
"Prayer for Peace" service held in the Vatican garden on June 8.
Departing from a pre-approved script, the imam recited verses 284-286 of Sura
2 from the Koran, the latter part of which calls on Allah to grant Muslims
victory over non-Muslims.
Danish police raided a mosque in
the Vibevej district of Copenhagen after a passerby allegedly saw weapons
being carried into the complex.
"We now have hundreds of
jihadists and thousands of sympathizers. This naïve Cabinet's inaction is
inviting an attack in the Netherlands." — Geert Wilders, Dutch Freedom
Party.
Conference attendees called on
the Spanish government to sponsor an official study aimed at finding ways to
bring European food standards into compliance with Islamic Sharia law.
The
Dutch-Turkish jihadist known as Yilmaz is one of about 130 Dutch jihadists
who have travelled to Syria.
Austria accused Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan of stirring
up trouble on June 19, when he urged thousands of cheering supporters in
Vienna to reject "assimilation."
Erdogan was rallying support for his candidacy ahead of Turkish
presidential elections in August, and expatriate Turks have become a
significant bloc of voters after changes to the electoral system now allow
them to cast votes abroad.
Around 268,000 people of Turkish origin live in Austria, according to
government figures, of whom nearly 115,000 are Turkish citizens.
Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz, who had expressly warned
Erdogan not to undermine efforts to integrate Turks into Austrian society,
criticized the latest comments:
"These show very clearly that the Turkish premier has brought the
election campaign to our country and created unrest with this. We reject
this. And I can only say that respect for a host country looks clearly
different."
