Remember theĀ “Muslims want ban on Easter eggs” nonsense from Belgium? Here’s Diana West’s take on this ridiculous, concocted story:
“Clearly, Antwerp’s Muslim population (or some sizable portion thereof) rejects the right of the native Christian culture to express itself in terms of its traditional symbols. But what does it mean if post-Christian Antwerp accedes to this Muslim ‘demand’?” Well, of course, “it will mean that another outpost of the West will have agreed to strip itself of the defining symbols of its own identity”!
