lpv:translated text	". Mr President, justice requires reason and prudence. So while racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and dislike of Muslims or Christians are lamentable facts of life in certain European countries, we have to be very careful when comparing and generalising these phenomena in the course of political debate. Otherwise, we may achieve the opposite of what we intended and contribute to aggravating rather than calming the conflict. The motion for a resolution on racism and homophobia contains too many contradictions and unjustified generalisations and this can have just such an effect. It is not right to throw racism and so-called homophobia and Islamophobia into the same pot. That is mixing real discrimination based on race or religion with an opposition towards ideology, which is justified in democratic political discourse. Our liberal colleague from the Netherlands is quite humble when it comes to assessing tolerance in her country. Recently a paedophile political party was legalised there and I would like to ask: how much further will tolerance go in that country? The post-Communists who are speaking so freely here would do better to look at their own record of tolerance instead of picking on Poland. It is grotesque that this resolution juxtaposes regret over the lack of comparable data on the phenomena mentioned above and general judgments about the countries where they manifest themselves. Why should Parliament publicise its sloppy work in this superficial draft of such an important document if we have been dealing with these phenomena for many years in committees within the Council of Europe? In ratifying paragraphs 1, 3, 4 and 11 in the current version, Parliament would simply lose credibility in the fight against racism and discrimination. I would like to appeal to all those of you who are motivated by genuine concern for justice to avoid false comparisons and unjustified generalisations."@en1
