TweetThis weekend at the 7th International Literature Festival in Berlin, Islamic apologists made a desperate attempt to connect with a skeptical audience about “Islamic tolerance”. The German audience didn’t take kindly to the education in “cultural understanding”.
The writer who has long pleaded in her publications for a better understanding between Islam and the West, faced an uphill battle convincing her audience, more so, when she pointed to two on-stage placards of coloured carpets dangling from the ceiling.
‘Why do carpets fly?’ she asked, smiling. When the audience remained mute, she said this was because in the Islamic world ‘dreams in the form of symbols were woven into them.’
This answer did not impress one woman in the audience who riposted it was absurd of the writer to talk of flying carpets without once mentioning the so-called ‘flying dream’ of Mohammed Atta who had crashed a hijacked plane into New York’s twin towers in 200l.
It seems many at the festival have been alarmed to the Islamic threat and are now fighting to help the people understand the evil intent of Islamic culture : to assimilate, educate and then dominate. It wasn’t just Islamic apologists speaking but rather Islamic critics:
‘Wake up, the invisible front line runs right through your backyard,‘ warned Garton Ash in a ‘Guardian’ article, made available to visitors at the Festival Thursday.
‘Like it nor not, whether you live in London or Oxford, Berlin or Neu-Ulm, Madrid or Rotterdam, you are on that front line – much more than you ever were during the Cold War,’ stated Garton Ash.
Returning from the US to Europe was to ‘travel from a country that thinks it is on the front line of the struggle against jihadist terrorism, but is not, to a continent which is on the front line but still has not fully woken up to the fact,’ he claimed
