Again a Western country bends over

So the problem here is that someone took a bit of nonsense and reacted to it as though it was important.

Since the last topic started with "is anyone supposed to take this seriously?" and the only possible answer was no(unless you wanted to rant about global muslim conspiracies) then this topic is just the result of a silly politician taking nonsense to heart and having to apologise for over reacting to the rantings of a lunatic.

It reminds me of wives getting beaten up by their husbands and nevertheless insisting that it is their own fault

It reminds me of someone getting really upset about someone who was claiming they often beat their wife then finding that the person never had a wife in the first place and couldn't manage to beat an egg even with assistance.

it still makes my overpressure valves opening up, since I need to take note of such acts of fawining subservience by European and American officials almost every day when skimming the headlines.

There is a very simple cure for that affliction Skybird suffers from.
