lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are firm supporters of the fight to uphold women’s rights which are trampled upon by fundamentalists, but we feel that this report does not do the cause any favours. When it accuses the religious organisations of barring women from leading positions in the hierarchy, it is not attacking the kind of fundamentalism which is a threat – Islamic fundamentalism – so much as the Church, which restricts priesthood to men. The report contradicts itself when it calls upon the European Parliament – moreover in arrogant, disrespectful terms – to impose its own views on matters of dogma and ideology on the Pope and the patriarchs. This prompts me to wonder what is happening to the European Parliament: is it the parliament of the peoples or a parliament serving the occult powers? The report makes two mistakes. The first is to equate Islamic fundamentalism with the principles of the Christian tradition, which have been dismissed as obsolete and reactionary, whereas the Christian and Catholic tradition is an integral part of the heritage of values and common culture of the European peoples. The second is to see Islamic fundamentalism as a degenerate sect of Islam when it is actually the current, authentic interpretation of Islam which is taught in all Islamic universities. It may be politically correct to disregard these facts but in doing so we are preventing Europe from defending itself against the danger represented by Islamic communities, governed by the severe rules of the Sharia which takes as much notice of women’s rights as it does of our right of the family and all the principles of freedom."@en1
