lpv:translated text	"Mr President, now that the dust has settled in Egypt, it is time we opened our eyes to what is really happening in North Africa. Many of the protesters are seeking, not democracy, but the imposition of sharia. ‘Allah akbar’ was a slogan which was often heard during the protests. Journalists were harassed, a Dutch correspondent was threatened with death and the saddest thing of all is that the splendid American journalist Lara Logan was sexually abused by a mob. The ayatollahs behind dictator Ahmadinejad and Al Qaida must be having a field day. The Muslim Brotherhood can now continue their holy war against Israel and the West. I call on our members not to be naïve today. The Egyptians are facing an important choice. Will the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood come to power, or will Egypt get a secular government? Under sharia law, Coptic Christians, apostate Muslims, women and gays will have no decent future in Egypt. If the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamists have their way, Israel will once again be the target of violence. The only fair position that we can adopt today must be: Egyptians, choose freedom, not sharia! Islam and democracy do not mix. The new Egyptian constitution must not be given over to sharia. Imams should not be allowed to control politics. The Dutch Party for Freedom has the guts to say that out loud. Do Parliament and the European Commission have the guts to say that today? That is the question we must answer today."@en1
