I find that view awful, lunatic, and dangerous. I mean, since when are we "conscious of the supremacy of our civilisation"? That kind of thinking leads to VERY bad things - see WWII. This point of view: "I am better than you are" really annoys me. And what does Christianity have to do with it? There are Christian extremists, there are Muslim extremists, so what? Europe's "common roots" consist of warring, conquering each other and being conquered by each other over millenia. NOT the best basis for international trust. I also think it is %^(*&^%$ to say that Schroeder AGREES with him. I thought Schroeder was smarter than that.
