"Madam President, this report on equality between women and men in the European Union, which – if I am not mistaken – was voted through in the Committee by one man and 27 women, is full of politically correct platitudes and proposes an enormous amount of meddling by Europe in almost everything. That is why I did not support it, even though I, personally, of course, – like most people, fortunately – am fully convinced of the need for equal rights for men and women. What strikes me about this report is that it takes pot shots at almost everything except today’s overriding taboo, and that is the growing wave of extremism in Europe and, by definition, especially discriminatory Islam. There is a brief passing reference to the so-called Arab Spring, but otherwise, there is a great silence on the issues thrown up by Islam in our own European countries, from headscarves, the symbol of subjugation, to the horror of genital mutilation. My conclusion on this is: shame on us all."@en1
