En af de mest velskrevne artikler af vestlige journalister jeg har læst i den seneste tid (SKAL læses) Europa må og skal konfrontere dens egen islamofobi og racisme There was no notion of European superiority much before 1800. Prior to that rough dating British visitors to India recognised a more developed culture and took to it with gusto, marrying Indians. After that date colonialism and the rise of racism ruled against such marriages and portrayed India as inferior to Britain. The rise of Europe in the 18th century did not, at the beginning, depend on economic and cultural superiority. Rather it relied on greed, aggression and military expertise honed in various European wars. It brought slavery and colonialism. ... Above all there remains the reality of Western “intervention” across the Muslim world. It is a daily reality if not in the form of invasion and occupation but that of drone strikes. We create chaos and barbarism across the Middle East and then blame it on the inhabitants but I suppose that was ever the way with imperialism. ... Europe needs to break with hatred of Islam and indeed Judaism, it needs to confront racism and Europe’s own history. Then we can move on. 5pillarsuk/2015/01/17/europe-must-confront-its-own-islamophobia-and-racism/
