Did you see about the latest Catholic Church scandals in Belgium. Did you read the Churches reaction to the Belgium athourities?

If right now folks in Belgium wanted a moratorium on new Catholic Seminaries or Churches I would understand. And I'm Catholic.

Here in Italy with so many Imams of the Mosques of major cities expelled for hate talk and calls for jihad... I can understand wanting a moratorium on new mosques. (It is funny because the Imam of my town is now in jail with a 10 year sentance for beating his wife. He was turned in by her.)

For the record: although IMHO this Geert fellow has some things right, he obviously has a lot wrong.

Clobber me but...let me put out this idea: perhaps it is better to give these far-right groups representation. The real workings of government and politics I think moderates them. If he is getting nearly 25 percent of the vote he must be dealt with...otherwise it will be much higher next time. Our Northern Leauge has representation but has only about 10 percent of the vote. Less than in most of Europe. I think having them in the government changes them.Look at Fini... now considered moderate and actually liberal on many issues.He is certainly mainstream now.
