The political class and European media have given the impression of having étéurpris by the Swiss vote against minarets. In the Western press, has established a consensus disapproving how the Swiss can they also vote overwhelmingly for a ban that stigmatizes Islam, those who practice this religion and those who do not necessarily his commandments but who come from a world shaped by it?
Observers alien from public life in Europe, however, doubted the authenticity of this consensus disapproving. For many, it is surprising that there were only about 60% of votes Swiss Islamophobic. This vote was not a clap of thunder in a summer sky. The anti-Muslim hype is permanent and is available on all European records columnists. Since the Iranian revolution and especially the disappearance of the Soviet Union, Islam "has" the monopoly of detestation. It is the scarecrow that was stirred with consistency and determination and that is designated more positively to the mob.
The attacks of September 11, 2001 have been the perfect excuse to skip the last barriers to compliance forms. The war of civilizations, the ultra-liberal subterfuge for imposing the commodification of the world, mobilizes all its foot soldiers. The far right European, whose party Swiss origin of the referendum, has made its aggiornamento. Traditionally anti-Semitic, she had a contract renewed respectability by changing the target of his hatred. In its current version, the far right neoconservative is more anti-Semitic, it is pro-Zionist and anti-Arab.
This junction between novel once violently antagonistic forces at work for several years in the U.S., is becoming more starkly in Europe. The neo-colonial revenge right found a voice to renew the contract ideology. "Benefits" of colonization the ridiculous debates about national identity, through denunciation "republican" the headscarf, the bottom of the air and the references evoke a bygone era.
If history does not repeat itself, fascism, he remains the same. In a crisis, it goes beyond its borders sociological. The extreme right contaminates the traditional right and also recruits from the Social Democrats. The economic crisis and the dizzying growth of inequality favoring uninhibited return to grammar - basic but effective - the demagogic populism. Install the confusion between Islam and terrorism, people assimilate to an army of swarthy obscurantist fanatics, it is an invariant of the dominant discourse. Show minarets as missiles to a population analysis drunk bistro TV is a continuation of this strategy of intoxication.
Make mine surprised at the racial tensions of the mob is completely hypocritical and only serves to reduce, at best, electorally abound in the same direction. Western societies they find the resources to escape political and moral logic of hatred in which ultra-liberalism wants to lock them up?
