EU Parliament Blocks Motion Condemning Treatment of Women Under Sharia Law

Left “so afraid of fundamentalists” that it cannot confront the influence of Islamism in Europe

On Thursday, April 3rd, the European Parliament’s Strasbourg plenary adopted a resolution to condemn Iran for executing hundreds of political prisoners each year and to call for revoking the death sentence of two prominent activists facing imminent execution.

However, when the national conservative Patriots for Europe (PfE) wanted to add an amendment to also condemn the treatment of women under Sharia law and warn about the informal spread of the practice in Europe, the Parliament blocked the initiative before MEPs could even vote on it.
