The bishop of Piraeus is spot on.

But telling the truth this day and age makes EUrabia’s incompetent and corrupt Socialist polit-props explode like firecrackers.  Unfortunately  its not only the EUro-dhimmies this bishop needs to worry about, its the world’s 1.5 gazillion peaceful Muslims who will turn into firecrackers. Just wait for Friday prayers and watch when they come charging out of the mosques to cut his throat:

Greece condemns Orthodox bishop’s anti-Muslim remarks

Thanks to Mullah/Associated Press

ATHENS, Greece – The Greek government is condemning anti-Islamic comments by a senior Orthodox Church official, following protests from the country’s Muslim community.

Government spokesman George Petalotis says the remarks by Serapheim, bishop of Piraeus, “foment racial and religious hatred.”

The truth causes hatred and  Islamic terrorism causes harmony. Please tell me: isn’t there something wrong with this concept?

Commenting on the New Year’s Day bombing of a congregation in Alexandria, Egypt, the bishop described Islam as “a catastrophic worship” that’s incompatible with Greece’s constitution.

Serapheim urged the government to scrap the planned construction of a mosque in Athens for the city’s growing Muslim population.

Petalotis said Tuesday the government condemns such remarks “and rejects the mentality they express.”

And what mentality would that be?

Demo prayers are a show of intimidation.

The al Reuters journo dutifully mentions that  Greece still hasn’t built a great mosque for the invading Koranimals (of course there are  more grievances to be addressed), but its noteworthy that regular Greek citizens are now smeared as  evil “right wing activists” who somehow oppose poor Muslims to go after their Allah given right to “pray” in public spaces.

Not to worry:  with the help of the lame stream media and corrupt Socialist politicians  these obstacles to the Islamization of Greece can surely be overcome:

“Mob in Athens abuses Muslims as they celebrate Eid”

(Reuters) – Dozens of far-right activists and local residents threw eggs and taunted hundreds of Muslim immigrants as they gathered to pray in a central square for Eid al-Adha surrounded by a protective cordon of riot police.

Italy: Illegal Muslim immigrants ‘demand’ residency permits

Under the new law, being an illegal immigrant in Italy is a crime. And since illegals can’t obtain residency permits (because they entered the country illegally), they decided to clime up the construction crane and do what illegal Muslims immigrants do best – demand.  (AKI)

The Euro Crisis: The Insolvent Are Expected to Bail Out the Bankrupt

The euro crisis is far from over. Markets are reacting with skepticism to the largest bailout ever – an attempt to prevent the bankruptcy of Greece. Former Eastern Bloc countries, such as Slovakia, are now expected to bailout Greece. On Sunday the IMF and the 15 other Eurozone countries – the member states of the European Union (EU) which, together with Greece, use the euro as their common currency – agreed to bail out Athens with bilateral loans totaling €120bn ($160bn) over the next three years. Many of these 15 countries, however, have huge debts themselves. They have agreed to help Greece, hoping that someone (read: Germany) will come to their rescue, too. Will Berlin and the IMF be able to save them all?  continue reading/Brussels Journal

Get Plucked: Bail Out Greece

The € is heading south and all will have their feathers plucked. Pursued illusions are not at the end of a free ride.

1.The economic ignorance that, fortunately for certain groups, prevails even among the educated, cannot save Greece or a titillating “who is next” from the quickly changing headlines. Here again, we have a generally ignored country propelled to the top of the totem pole of attention. Although one likes to talk about Athens, this economic earthquake might only prove to be the beginning of the parade to follow. Several countries, all with failing public finances that hope to remain undiscovered, are lurking in the shadow cast by the spot lights that are now focused on the Greeks.   continue reading/BJ

It would have been better to Let Greece Have Its Default

Greece is rightfully making headlines these days, hovering on the edge of what would be a quite embarrassing default – an open admission that the country will not be able to pay back its staggering debt.

While such an admission would cause turmoil, and probably a career change for several politicians, it remains the least harmful of available options.  continue reading/BJ

Why the Greek bailout won’t work | Analysis & Opinion

Germany Is Tired of Paying Europe’s Bills

If Germans feel less guilty about the war, they won’t make sacrifices to help feckless Greeks.

“Sell your islands, you bankrupt Greeks. And sell the Acropolis too!”—headline, Bild newspaper, March 4, 2010

Sometimes they cut to the essence of the story, those tabloid headline-writers, even when they haven’t got the quotation exactly right. What the German politician being quoted in the Bildarticle cited above actually said was, “A bankrupt party must use everything he has to make money and serve his creditors. … Greece owns buildings, companies and several uninhabited islands, which can now be used to repay debt.”

What he meant, though, was more accurately reflected in that Bild headline: The Germans are fed up with paying Europe’s bills. They don’t want to bail out the feckless Greeks with theirflagrantly inaccurate official statistics; they resent being Europe’s banker of last resort; they object to the universal demand that they plug the vast holes in the Greek budget deficit in the name of “European unity”; and for the first time in a long time they are saying it out loud. Not only are tabloids demanding the sale of the Acropolis, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany’s deeply serious paper of record, has pointed out that while the Greeks are out protesting the raising of the pension age from 61 to 63, Germany recently raised its pension age from 65 to 67: “Does that mean that the Germans should in future extend the working age from 67 to 69, so that Greeks can enjoy their retirement?‘ More from Slate
