The “Proud to be Hellenic” series presents:

Religious intolerance in “modern” Greece…

Greece keeps the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) very busy and particularly when it comes to religious tolerance where hardly a faith or denomination may compete against the “righteous” local Orthodox barons…

This is the tip of the iceberg of religious intolerance in Greece but time does not permit to show it all. What’s important is that now we know that among other things, being “Hellenic” means having religious intolerance but stay tuned as we explore “Hellenism” even further in the next article where the REAL HELLENIC DEAL is gradually uncovered…

SPOT ON!!! GREECE IS TOTALLY CRAP WHEN IT COMES TO RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE.

FOR EXAMPLE ATHENS A CITY WITH A 5 MIILION POPULATION DOES NOT EVEN HAVE A MOSQUE WHERE MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS CAN PRAY.

BEAR IN MIND THAT ATHENS IS HOME TO ALMOST 700000 IMMIGRANTS (BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL) MAINLY FROM ALBANIA PAKISTAN INDIA ETC AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM ARE MUSLIMS.

IN A MULTICULTURAL EUROPEAN CITY OF 5 MILLION A MUSLIM IS FORCED TO PRAY IN THE BASEMENTS OF BLOCKS OF FLATS.PATHETIC.

why si turkey any better? they take people to prison for saying the word kurdistan?? they dont allow the kurds to speak or learn their langaueg because according to the turks its not a language and not good enough for them because its not turkish... before you look to greece look to turkey who still lives in the 10000000000000000 years ago ages and think like apes still who know only to destroy whats not turkish

[SN2]

Paliometoxo.I am not Turkish and I dont care about Turkey.However I will critisize the bullshit Greece is doing in terms of religious freedom.
And to think that a city of 5 million ppl in the heart of EU does not have a single mosque is totally pathetic and unacceptable.

Greece's intolerance is well established.Regilious intolerance ,linguistic intolerance, self determination intolerance.Greece is the only EU country that recognizes no official minorities.Pathetic

I think it's high time everyone followed Greece's example (always at the forefront) and educated these fantasy dwellers to accept scientific evidence and morals based on logical reasoning instead of ancient books from obscure sources ...

Why should Greece recognise "minorities"? ... It is a modern democratic country which insists all citizens are equal.

Stop using religion and idiotic out-of-date ideologies to bash what you clearly do not understand, barbarian!

hahhaha.How sure are you that I dont understand???

Lets take it one by one.The majority of the so-called muslim minority in thrace has a turkish self-determination.why should these people be denied their right to their turkishness???and why should muslims all in Athens should not be able to practice their faith freely??

The bs Sinthiki tis Lozanis is outdated clearly.Greece has been fucked many times by European Court in terms of its minorities.

Let us not forget the recent minority report by McDugal.

Let us not forget Greece's systematic denial of ethinic Macedonians,Turks etc.

Let us not forget Greece has a history of mistreating its minorities through tactics of forced assimilation etc.

Greece is crap and certainly does not deserve to be in EU with this mentality.

Ah...kai den eimai varvaros kopelia.araxe sta kyvika sou.

If they want to call themselves Turkish ... they can move right over the border to Turkey, and then see how much their lifestyle will change!

As for the rest of your nonsense ... they are merely your singular personal opinions, of which we are well acquainted and serve as reminder of how tolerant Greece actually is, that people like you can still exist ....

Personally, I would have thrown you over a cliff at birth!

If Greece is crap then why all those immigrants go to Greece? Do you know any Greeks that emigrate to Turkey or any of those other Muslim countries? This shows which countries are crap. If their own countries are crap and they want to emigrate to good countries then they should respect the customs of the countries they go.
