- These Arab countries
know better than Europe that to contain Islamic
fundamentalism, it is crucial to control the street.
- That 140,000 Muslims
recently gathered in England for a public prayer event
organized by a mosque known for its extremism and links to
jihadi terrorists, should not only alarm the British
authorities, but those in other European countries as well.
It may not
be a coincidence that many British jihadists have come from
Birmingham, which has been called "the jihadist capital of
Britain." Pictured: Birmingham Central Mosque, in Birmingham,

A few months ago, a global media tempest erupted
after Polish Catholics held a mass public prayer event across the
country. The BBC deemed it "controversial", due to
"concerns it could be seen as endorsing the state's refusal to
let in Muslim migrants".
The same controversy, however, did not erupt in
Britain when 140,000 Muslims prayed in Birmingham's Small Heath
Park, in an event organized by the Green Lane Mosque to mark the
end of Ramadan.
France is debating whether or not to block prayer on
the street. "They will not have prayers on the street, we will
prevent street praying" Interior Minister Gerard Collomb
announced.
"Public space cannot be taken over in this
way", said the president of the Paris regional council,
Valérie Pécresse, who led a protest by councilors and MPs. In Italy,
hundreds of Muslims prayed next to Colosseum, and Muslim prayers
were held in front of Milan's Cathedral.
