"Madam President, this report reads, first and foremost, like a catalogue of generally good intentions, but some of them are rather naïve and, indeed, the author largely assumes that spending even
money on all kinds of European bureaucracy will improve the human rights situation around the world. I must admit that I have very serious doubts about that.
What is much worse is the political correctness that weighs down this report. For example, it quite rightly highlights the precarious situation of religious minorities and women in Muslim countries, as it does the paradox of the so-called Arab Spring, but it studiously avoids using the word ‘Islam’ to indicate the problem. Islam, however, lies at the heart of the problem.
Finally, I would be able to accept the paragraph where the EU is called upon to organise mass rescue operations at sea for the benefit of illegal immigrants if there were also a call for those illegal immigrants to be sent back to their country of origin. However, that is obviously not politically correct enough for this Parliament."@en1
