Morocco Government Protests Austrian FPÖ Party
Rabat, Morocco – the government cited the Austrian Ambassador in Rabat, H.E. Dr. Wolfgang Angerholzer for a conversation and condemned Austrian rightist party FPÖ after the Innsbruck fraction of the FPÖ used election placards describing Moroccans as “thieves”.
Youssef Amrani, Minister Delegate to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation in Rabat, called Austria’s ambassador to express “the dissatisfaction of the Kingdom of Morocco and its condemnation of the racist events and the defamation towards the Moroccans citizens residing in the Austria, which is a member of the European Union”.
The public prosecutor in Innsbruck (in the West of Austria) announced earlier that he had opened an investigation against the right wing Austrian party FPÖ on charges of “incitement of hatred” following their use of placards hostile to Morocco during electoral campaign which precedes the municipal elections scheduled on April 15 2012 in Innsbruck.
The controversial slogan appeared on the placards of the candidate for the position of major, Mr. August Penz, stating in German: “My Plan for Innsbruck: Love for my homeland instead of Moroccan thieves”. The placards have apparently been retired after the initial scandal they provoked when featured on Austrian national TV.
Meanwhile, the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed the Austrian Ambassador that members of the government of Morocco have decided to take part as civil parties in the court proceedings expected to take place against Mr. Penz, in representation of the Moroccan community in Austria.

Bonsoir Madame Salam,
ReplyDeleteAll Men Are Created In the Image And Likeness Of God.
Gn:1:26:
26 ¶ And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth.
The Noble Qur'an says the same Surah 49 - Al Hujurat THE CHAMBERS 049.013 O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
This is a core Catholic belief. It is self evident to all people with a conscience. It also explains something quite opposite to it.
When Adam sinned it took place because of the envy of the devil.
Rom:5:12:
12 Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world and by sin death: and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.
Wisdom 2:
23 For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him. 24 But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world: 25 And they follow him that are of his side.
What was the devil's temptation? It was this:
Gn:3:
1 ¶ Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?
2 And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.
4 And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.
5 For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.
6 ¶ And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband, who did eat.
and you shall be as Gods
They chose to be their own gods. This is the base of racism. For if one were one's own god in one's own image and likeness, then one would be the founder of a race of gods who would look the same as oneself and be connected by bloodline, and one would consider oneself better than others.
But the Apostles, basing themselves on the teaching of Jesus Christ, taught that all men are equal in their creation by and in the sight of God.
Acts:17:26, 27:
26 And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times and the limits of their habitation.
27 That they should seek God, if haply they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us.
Therefore racism is of the devil and to be absolutely condemned.
The Catholic Faith calls all men to come to salvation in God and His Messiah Jesus Christ as does Islam call to people to come to Him in submission and profession of faith. The Catholic Faith also calls in the Name of Christ the King of all Nations for equal justice here on earth for all men as does Islam call upon all men to do justice.
Adieu and may God's blessings be upon you and all of good will this Easter and always,
Steve
