Update of Post-"Too Many Reasons Obama Would be Disasterous as President" MORE ON THE EU OBAMA WOULD HAVE US "FOLLOW," WHOSE OPINION WE WE PLACE ON A PEDISTAL.

Here is more dreadful information regarding The EU that Obama would have America "follow."

The Brussels Journal, by Fjordman, May 28, 2008, "European Parliament Bans Opposition"

Fjordman writes about New Laws Proposed by the EU -- which now includes banning of opposition and new "thought crimes" which would be treated on a par with rape and armed robbery.

The EU will no longer be "Europe" but will include North African and Middle Eastern countries. Europe, as we here in America think of it, will not exist. This is not opinion, it's in their new constitutional Lisbon Treaty. Dealing with the EU will be dealing with Middle Eastern countries. So much for our alliances. And this completely exposes the charade that the EU is a neutral part of the "Quartet" that is supposed to "guide" the Israel-Palestine Peace Process?

Excerpts

EU leaders have ignored the referendums in several countries rejecting the EU Constitution...The Lisbon Treaty is virtually identical to the Constitution, and is now being pushed through without referendums...

will more or less dismantle the existing nation states throughout much of Europe.

EU leaders, including the British Foreign Minister, the French President and the German Chancellor, have officially announced the enlargement of the EU to include Muslim North Africa and the Middle East.

A proposed European Arrest Warrant lists a number of crimes, including terrorism, armed robbery, rape, and racism and xenophobia, which are punishable throughout the EU.

[Dictionary.com. xenophobia--an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers or of that which is foreign or strange. In other words, fears and thoughts will be crimes.]

The European Arrest Warrant requires that anyone who is charged by a member state under the listed group of offenses (which could cover just about anything) may be arrested by the authorities of the issuing state within any other member state [and be brought back to the "issuing" state for prosecution.]

Racism includes Islamophobia, according to numerous EU documents. Which means that Islamophobia will soon be treated as a crime as serious as rape and armed robbery across most of the European continent.

EU authorities can arrest a person in, say, Denmark or Italy, who has published a cartoon that could be considered offensive to Islam. He or she will then be quietly handed over to the authorities in Algeria, Egypt or Jordan.

Remember that blasphemy against Islam potentially carries the death penalty according to sharia.

EU should harmonize the education and legal systems with the Mediterranean partner countries within the coming decade. This is being negotiated as we speak, behind our [European] backs.

An entire continent, the cradle of the greatest civilization mankind has ever seen, is to be culturally dismantled and turned into an obedient dumping ground for demographic warfare by its Islamic enemies. Those among the indigenous peoples who object to this will be harassed, and opposition to these policies will be banned by law.

Multiculturalism in Europe is thus reaching its openly totalitarian phase.
