“Much has been said about the Christian-influenced West’s civilizational superiority to the Islamic countries. But what is happening in the United States gives a different impression. When Americans celebrate the death of bin Laden with dancing and shouting over loudspeakers, it is horrifying to us [Germans/Europeans]. The bizarre cheers show us that American society is alien to us. …”
This is, of course, in stark contrast to the sober and sympathetic response of the “Arab Street” to every massacre by an Islamic terrorist.
I must agree on one point. The sanctimonious hypocricy of the European left is indeed alien to me.
