A New Perspective on Constantine

(Worthy News) – There has been lots of press about the trade dispute with China, but the European Union also stands to be hit by tariffs. And EU countries make up America’s second-largest trading partner. Indeed, more than $10 billion in trade activity across the Atlantic is at risk already.

The working deadline is May 1: That’s when U.S. tariffs on imported steel and aluminum are supposed to hit countries not granted exemptions.

The broad tariffs were announced in early March and went into effect for China, Russia, Japan, Turkey, Taiwan and other exporters. [ Source: CBS News (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – At an event held in on April 11 to unveil the 2017 European Islamophobia Report — released by the Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research — Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called on EU governments to criminalize Islamophobia.

“There is no ideology or terminology called ‘Islamism’; There is only one Islam and it means ‘peace,'” he declared — incorrectly: salaam means peace; Islam means submission. He also claimed that populist politicians are “increasingly engaging in extremist, anti-immigrant, xenophobic, and Islamophobic rhetoric to get a few more votes,” and that “centrist politicians are… using a similar rhetoric to get back the votes they have lost.”

Urging all politicians to recognize Islamophobia as “a hate crime and a form of racism” in their constitutions, Çavuşoğlu accused European judiciaries of applying a double standard by not paying as much attention to Islamophobia as they do to anti-Semitism. Using the Holocaust as an analogy, he continued: “There is no need to relive Auschwitz or wait for Muslims to be burned in gas chambers like Jewish people.” [ Source: Gatestone Institute (Read More…) ]
