Muslims to Sue Spain in Strasbourg Over Holy Week Processions, Claim They Offend Islam

Muslims are the only immigrant group to come to the West with a ready-made model of society that their religion dictates is superior to man made law.

“Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life,” Dr. Peter Hammond explains in his book. “Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.”

Muslims Threatening to Sue Spain in Strasbourg Over Holy Week Processions, Claim They Offend Islam.

By: Gateway Hispanic, April 20, 2025:

A group of British Muslims of Iranian origin, led by Anjem Choudary, is threatening to file a lawsuit before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.

They allege that Spain’s traditional Holy Week processions are an “offense to Islam” and to the Prophet Muhammad, demanding their immediate ban.

The Muslim group intends to sue Spain in Strasbourg over these Catholic processions, with Choudary arguing that these religious events, rooted in Catholic tradition since 1978, are a “provocation” against Muslims.

It’s an offense to the thousands of Muslims forced to live in secrecy , declared the leader, known for his history of radical statements. The legal challenge seeks to have Spain suspended these centuries-old celebrations, triggering a strong backlash throughout the country.

n recent years, several European countries have faced similar tensions.

In France, for example, 2024 report by Le Figaro revealed that Islamist groups attempted to ban Christmas celebrations in public spaces, claiming they are .offended.

In Belgium, Christmas markets were cancelled following similar pressures . a move that unsurprisingly sparked massive protests. These cases reveal a troubling pattern: the imposition of cultural restrictions under the guise of tolerance.

The following is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book:

Slavery, Terrorism & Islam: Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.

When politically correct, tolerant and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well. Here is how it works. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be, for the most part, regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a significant threat to other citizens. This is the case in:

2010 Statistics 2016 Statistics

Australia — Muslim 1.5% 2.2%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%` 3%
Italy — Muslim 1.5% 2.6%
Norway — Muslim 1.8% 3%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

United States — Muslim 0.6% 2.11%
Denmark — Muslim 2% 4.1%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7% 4.6%
Spain — Muslim 4% 2.3%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6% 10%
China — Muslim 1.8% 10%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply.

This is occurring in:

Germany — Muslim 3.7% 5%
France — Muslim 8% 9.6%
Philippines — Muslim 5% 10%
Sweden — Muslim 5% 4.9%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3% 5.7%
Netherlands — Muslim 5.5% 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8% 7%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Muhammad cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:

Guyana — Muslim 10% 7%
India — Muslim 13.4% 20%
Israel — Muslim 16% 17.6%
Kenya — Muslim 10% 33%
Russia — Muslim 15% 19%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and the burnings of Christian churches and synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8% 50%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia — Muslim 40% 60.6%
Chad — Muslim 53.1% 50%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7% 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania — Muslim 70% 79.9%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4% 61.3%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5% 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70% 97% (The secession of South Sudan in 2011 led to higher
percentage of Muslims in Sudan)
South Sudan — Muslim 18%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh — Muslim 83% 92%
Egypt — Muslim 90% 95%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7% 98%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1% 88%
Iran — Muslim 98% 99%
Iraq — Muslim 97% 99%
Jordan — Muslim 92% 97.2%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7% 99%
Pakistan — Muslim 97% 96.3%
Palestine — Muslim 99% 98%
Syria — Muslim 90% 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90% 98%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8% 99.8%
UA Emirates — Muslim 96% 76%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there is supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrassas are the only schools and the Quran is the only religious authority, such as in:

Afghanistan — Muslim 100% 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100% 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100% 100%
Yemen — Muslim 100% 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% Muslim states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred and satisfy their bloodlust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

“Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel.” — Leon Uris, “The Haj”

It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts nor schools nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrassas. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.
