And this permits the crazyness to grow.Juha Haatajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-87065421995048856792011-07-24T14:56:23.425+03:002011-07-24T14:56:23.425+03:00@Fiona: Thanks!

According to his numbers Marseille has a Muslim majority since 2010. Wikipedia has completely different numbers, not even remotely close. Guess whom I believe?<br /><br />Let's hope he is really only a crazy lone wolf. At least it's hard to imagine that his "PR" could win anybody over. Maybe those who always deny a threat from the right even wake up now.Andreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15992874945092411553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-7085633821595608582011-07-24T04:20:26.053+03:002011-07-24T04:20:26.053+03:00My heart goes out to you.

There is no explanation, there is no excuse. This is home grown terrorism and we must recognize it.---CarlCarl Weesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291898089206705608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-86638108179113199852011-07-23T22:33:38.569+03:002011-07-23T22:33:38.569+03:00I admire your photography hugely - been reading yo...I admire your photography hugely - been reading your blog daily for some months now, and I'm in total agreement with your comment of seeing the world from one standpoint. I've recently returned from a trip to Berlin where I visited the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedachtnis-Kirche, the church vitually destroyed in WW2. I was struck by the fact that the people affected were just like me, ordinary Europeans going about their daily lives not wanting to harm anyone, and the whole continent was decimated because a few people made some bad decisions and couldn't see that someone else had a right to a point of view as well. We need more dialogue between people so we know and begin to understand each other. Blogs like yours are a first step - keep up the good work.Fionanoreply@blogger.com
