A group of British Muslims of Iranian origin, led by Anjem Choudary, is threatening to file a lawsuit before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
They allege that Spain's traditional Holy Week processions are an “offense to Islam” and to the Prophet Muhammad, demanding their immediate ban.
The Muslim group intends to sue Spain in Strasbourg over these Catholic processions, with Choudary arguing that these religious events, rooted in Catholic tradition since 1978, are a “provocation” against Muslims.

With all due respect - Muhammad came along about 600 years after Christ's death, burial and resurrection.
And Muhammad was a pedophile. So NO. If these processions offend you don't look

And so it is going. If the EU gives into this, they are well on their way to the muslim bloodless conquest. That the muslims have the nerve to even sue shows how far along the EU is to this already.

A few years ago, I was in Spain during Holy Week and watched some processions. The dedication of the participants was awesome - carrying those huge floats on their shoulders on a hot day while wearing what looked like monk's robes. The religious statues and artwork on the floats was beautiful. It was quite moving.

Muslims can't be intergrated into western society. Lets hope the U.S. figures this out.

You are guests in that land, Anjem. Don't overstay your welcome there, again. The Spanish Inquisition ultimately needed to evict your ideological ancestors should never be repeated. Don't make it necessary to repeat it.

Now, WHY would centuries-old religious observances by Christians suddenly be a "provocation" to Muslims, who have their own weird observances and no one cares or attacks them? (Well, perhaps the attacks come from among themselves, as in Shia v. Sunni.)
I know the answer to my question, but everyone should have a response, whether you've religious beliefs or not. Muslims extremists are always picking fights, they are forever ready for an excuse to attack "infidels," torch churches, kill cartoonists, march in favor of Hamas, ad nauseum. We better get a spine on this end and put a stop to the nonsense. It's getting obnoxious- and dangerous.

And all the European countries, including Ireland and Great Britain appears to be allowing Muslims from the Islamic World to flood into their countries in unlimited numbers thus diluting their historic Christian societies. You can’t beat that for being the height of stupidity. As in keeping with every other place that percentages of Muslims have taken over, it will not be long before the incoming Muslims call for the European countries to become Islamist Caliphates and for the historic Christian populations of those European countries to convert to Islam or be killed!

The Spaniards finally defeated the Muslim invaders after 800 years of occupation. And then....they just let them move back in and start acting like they own the place.
Very, very stupid.

One more thing to add to the list of things that offens Islam. Seems j6st about everything in the West offends Islam yet they keep coming to the West from their Islamis hell holes. Don't like it in Spain? Go back to your home country (that you fled) that observes Islamic rules and laws where you won't be offended. Stop trying to trun the West into another Islamis hellhole where people don't want to be.

I don’t know of any thing else that beats the pure chutzpah of Muslims protesting against a two-thousand-year-old tradition of Christian observance and worship in a non-Muslim country!

Half the problem here are the European countries themselves, whose idea of "free speech" contains strictures on speech or expression that others might deem to be offensive. Legal representatives for the Muslims thus seize upon even benign (but non-Muslim) religious celebrations as that which must be suppressed. We protect offensive speech in the US and put strictures only on incitement.
This lesson was best delivered by long-time (now retired) syndicated talker Neal Boortz, who fielded a call twenty-something years ago from a Muslim who wanted cartoon caricatures of the prophet banned because he felt they were offensive. Boortz's response: "Sir, you have no right not to be offended."

As an example of how dumb some Euro weenies really are, it is being reported that King Charles of the United Kingdom, who is supposed to be the head of the Christian Church of England in his just delivered Easter message to his country, including remarks directly welcoming Muslims to his country, that in keeping with the very liberal government agenda there will encourage many more foreign Muslims to enter the United Kingdom both illegally and legally? Once enough Muslims are there, in keeping with their past history, there is little doubt that Muslims there will call for an Islamic Caliphate to be established in the United Kingdom and for the Christians there from King Charles on down to convert to Islam or be killed.

Off key hollering and Shittey music screamed from the rooftops 5 times a day is offensive. Time to complain and get it banned.

This is going to end up one of two ways...Europe surrenders to Islam and its murderous adherents or another El Cid will arise to overcome the invasion. It's up to the Europeans, wake up and fight this or prepare to live on your knees.

If they they do file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights, I hope the court has the good sense to find the Moslem group guilty of a deplorable offense to Christianity.

Hey Anjem, this procession has been going on long before you and your religion showed up. You knew it was there and you came anyway. Go pound sand. One more thing. Offense works both ways. See you in court.
