I don't like religion, but that has nothing to do with this particular case. I think that the position of Islam in Europe is taking rather weird and sometimes even dangerous forms.
For one the entire Islamic culture is starting to take over the native cultures of European countries (there is a very similar problem over here in the Netherlands). When politicians start thinking about making Arabic a standard taught language next to English and German in pre- and high-school, that is where I draw the line. I've been seeing a disturbing trend with many countries where the host country has to adapt to the guests it provides shelter for. It's supposed to be the other way around.
Secondly, there is a very real problem of extremist preachers in Mosques. We've got a few over here as well but for some reason they can't be arrested for it. Apparently it's fine to ask your followers to kill everyone who was born in the western world. Not saying that's a reason not to build more Mosques, but there should at least be the option to close one down if there are messages like this being proclaimed there.
