Europe - an old whore

Jyllands-Posten [Link in Danish] brings an excellent op-ed by Bent Jensen professor in history (an expert on Soviet totalitarism) and renowned debator in Denmark especially on the dangers of Islamism.
A few abstract's in my humble translation:

European politicians are allways babling about "the conflict in the Middle-East" as if there was only this one conflict between Israel and the islamists. They have spoken so long and the media have been so one-sided that many - including Danes - apparently believes that Israel is the greatest threat to world peace.
The EU or "Europe's" policy in this part of the world is apalling. Danish companies such as the infamous Arla are signing deals with islamist states, promising that they will boycot Israel in return for selling thier products to nations determined to whipe out Israel. The Danish goverment and the EU sends billions to support regimes that day in and day out through newspapers, magazines, schoolbooks, radio and tv spreads darkened anti-semitism. Israeli and jews - islamist's doesn't destinguish - are decribed as traitors and the jewish nation as a cancer, the root cause of all the disasters in the world.

Danish politicians are participating in rallies where the machinegun banner of Hizbollh is flying. Right now, the Danish goverment is spending millions on a project that under the clishé's "Dialogue" and "bridge-building" really is nothing more than sucking-up and submission to islamist's regimes demanding that Israel should be outcasted.
Bent Jensen is referring to an ongoing festival, Images of the Middle East" in Denmark. It is partly sponsored by the Danish state, partly by private sponsors. The organizers came under criticism when they published an anthology. The Saudi sponsor demanded that no Israeli writers should be represented, and the festival caved in, their exscuse littereraly being that it was a choise between no Israel or no book and that it would be "a shame" not to publish the book.
The islamists calls the US and Israel The Great Satan and The Little Satan. At least some respect lies within these names. After all one fears Satan. I wonder what they will call the "Europe" that, like and old whore lies on her back and lets herself be raped by Islam?
