Well, yes. But the comment is not about their role in society and through history. It is about Israelis drawing a parallel between the aggression of Islam against Europe, with the aggression of Israel against Palestinians in the Middle East, and attempting to make it the same cause. Why, if not, does he mention the Middle East all of the time and then tries to provoke fear over Europe?
Quote:
Regarding Iran's nuclear programme, he did not believe a nuclear attack on Israel would take place.
"Ahmadinejad is building his atomic capacity not to destroy Israel," said the ambassador.
Instead, Ben-Hur focused the debate on Iran's alleged nuclear missiles and its range, which he said could reach Europe.

Mission accomplished. Which is the task of ambassadors, to be envoys with missions to serve their countries. Not to give cultural conferences.
But tell me, do you see that Iran is the threat to Europe? Or is it the millions of Muslims currently living throughout Europe? Was Iraq a threat to Europe? Actually, it was said to be a threat to the World.
And where are those Iraqi weapons of massive destruction that were going to be found if the country was invaded? The story is a little more sophisticated now. We know that Iran has nuclear technology, though that doesn't mean that it is a very powerful one. Most likely it is not. Definitely not enough to make an important and substantial hit on Europe which, if they tried, it would provoke a war in Europe against Iran, and Europeans would likely react against Muslims in Europe. How can anyone pretend that that is in the interest of Iran? Worse, how can anyone buy that story?
This is selling a story similar to that of the weapons of massive destruction in Iraq, only that it is improved this time because, if Iran was invaded or if it was attacked and its nuclear facilities were
reported damaged, no one could ever prove that Iran was not going to launch a full scale nuclear attack against Europe.
If your concern is the Muslim invasion of Europe which is on a pretty advanced stage in some countries already, then consider that the man who is selling you this story is the ambassador of the same country, Israel, which, together with the United States, is working to open the gates of Europe to a Muslim country of 70 million people.
And sure, someone will tell you about laicism in Turkey, like they say to excuse Albania. But you already see many of those Turks in the streets of your town everyday, and maybe you can even think idependently and realize of the hit that this would represent.
So, Israel is concerned about the expansion of Islam in Europe... with regards to Iran, but not with regards to the 70 million Turks?
