Islam is not the enemy

The war against fundamentalists and terrorists are fought by Muslims, everyday all over the world and they are dying in big numbers doing so. 

If Europe and the west makes this war against terror into a war on Islam, the war against Islamic fundamentalism and all other fundamentalism will be lost, including the fight agains western right wing extremism. 

Europe and the west must support their Muslim allies and make this war into a war for democracy, for human rights and for the open society.

Who defends terrorism

I have never heard any European politician, European instutition or someone who represents any European mainstream media defending any terrorists. 
In contrast, "idiots"  are often heard condemning all Muslims and the religion of Islam for the acts of the few in its name.

It's a huge problem for our democracy that so many people lack so much of essential knowledge about our world and the ability to think beyond their own and others' prejudices. It's also a democratic problem that so many people in our union are ruled by hatred and propaganda instead of humanism and facts.
