“If politeness and ceremony be observed toward Mohammedans, they imagine they are feared and become arrogant; but in showing severity and rudeness, they are impressed with fear and respect, and they are supple and manageable.”
–North China Herald,1867
It is mindboggling that headbangers like this Sheikh Ahmed Hassoun  are allowed to speak at the EU parliament. Creatures like this should be held in contempt by self-respecting, civilized Europeans:
Some examples here:
Grand Mufti of Syria: “a single civilisation unites us all..”
Religion of  bridge-builders….
Euro-dhimmies ban showing of FITNA

Here is a particularly audacious exercise in deception from Sheikh Ahmed Hassoun, the Mufti of Syria. I say deception because his assertions are so flagrantly at variance with the Qur’an and Sunnah that he simply must know that what he is saying is false. And while it is remotely possible that he is attempting to work a loophole by saying that Muhammad never said these things while knowing that the Qur’an does say them, on the pretext that Allah, not Muhammad, wrote the Qur’an, there is enough in the Hadith to show that Muhammad said the same things as well.
