I know at least a couple of people who will not be bothered by this because of CH "horrible caricatures" of John Paul II which were a thing they did around his death.

Horrible news, though I'm not sure why this belongs into this thread. It actually appears to be an attack by radical islamists, who aren't really the heirs of European fascists.

No worries, I didn't want to backseat moderate. It probably won't take too much time until we can discuss the improved fortunes of the FN after this attack.

I also fear what this will do to boost the PEGIDA idiots protesting against the "islamization of the Occident" here in Germany.

There are Muslim-hating movements in just about all countries in Northern Europe, so UKIP, Sweden Democrats, Danish People's Party, Geert Wilders, Le Pen, Golden Dawn, PEGIDA, et al. are definitely going to benefit from this directly or indirectly.

Not to mention the parties who will or already have moved to the right to appease the dreadful sentiment.

Also the sentiment that we shouldn't discuss or focus on the political consequences which will affect millions following an act which affects dozens but, by definition, was designed to elicit a political response is inane.

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

Strangely I don't know if there will be much overall change here in the UK because of this; our street thug racist groups (National Front, English Defense League) have really been nothing for a while now because they are being abandoned for our xenophobic anti-EU party (United Kingdom Independance Party) but UKIP is trying to be a bit more acceptable to the general public in the run up to our general election (they're delisting people and kicking others out for being openly racist) so we might just have the usual chorus of denouncements from the political heads and then everyone turns back to their usual business.

I mean there will probably be a few small lovely street protests to organise counter-demos against but hopefully this'll just be part of an ongoing argument rather than a spark for something worse.

The main thing it will do is enable Farage to opine about things "people are worried about" that are more openly Islamophobic.

Right, yeah, this'll probably allow the kippers to shift the Overton window even further to the right, go on about the dangers of nasty brown foreigners, and so on. They're trying to be more politically palatable, but this means they don't have to try so hard.

What makes you say this? It's difficult to understand that without context, and i'm not reading 500 posts just do understand your point.

I don't know what's ironic about Europeans being protective of their culture. It's not unique (see a whole lot Americans who would love to deport all these foreigner Mexicans etc.).

Finland had several missionary outposts running in Africa during the 18/19th Century. The majority of them operated in other European colonial powers, but usually the point of these missions were to hide horrible exploitation under the guise of bringing Christ and civilization to the Dark Continent.

Finns like to point out how they were actually a colony rather than a colonizing power and thus that they share no responsibility whatsoever for the loving up of the rest of the world by Europe and that's why it's okay for them to say Somalis should just gently caress off back to their own country or at the very least change completely for their behaviour must be why their country is poo poo and now they're in Finland so they better act Finnish or they will turn Finland to poo poo too. Oh and also it's not racism to point out how Roma really are dishonest and violent thieves because it's true.

That's what my Finnish friends tell me anyway. Also swastikas are still totally cool for them to use even though they literally fought on the same side as the Nazis.
