Ethnic cleansing

On the eleventh of July, 1995, the Bosnian, and Moslem, town of Srebrenica, fell to the Serbian forces of general Mladic, although it had been taken under its protection by the United Nations. During the next few days eight thousand Moslem men and boys were murdered. This is ethnic cleansing at its most evil. Don't bother killing the women and girls, they will dry up and die in their turn, without men to help them procreate their kind.

The members of the European Union, and others, have kept after the Serbian authorities to surrender general Mladic, who lives within its control, to the Court of International Justice in the Hague, but they have not as yet complied.

The European Union is at present conducting negotiations with the Serbian Government, providing for it to enter the Union. I believe that if the European Union admits Serbia without general Mladic being brought to justice, then its integrity will be fatally compromised.

There is another situation, which also has racial and religious aspects: the application of the Republic of Turkey. There is substantial opposition to its entry, at least partly because of its Moslem religion, and customs, including the way women dress. Europe is not a club, it is an entity, which has accepted all manner of outsiders, many uninvited, and has thrived subsequently, for whatever reason. I do not believe Europe will fulfill its potential, nor will any other major nation, which insists on depriving some of its subjects of their rights because of their religion, the way they dress, their customs, or the colour of their skin.
