...Let me make a distinction here. There are various ways of talking about Muslims (and other groups). In European nations, the integration of Muslims is a vital issue to be addressed. Now..I don't like hate-speech. But, if our heritage is at risk, I hope we can defend it. Reasoned opposition to Islamization should not be confused with hate-speech.
