Today the European Union has the most environmentally-friendly arsenal of rules in the world and has done more to tackle pressing ecological problems, such as climate change, than any other major power. But it has not always been like this. Caring for the environment did not feature in the Treaty of Rome, the document that gave birth to the modern day EU. Yet environmental problems were never far away. Europe's love affair with the car was moving into top gear, industry was busy belching out pollutants and raw sewage was being pumped into our rivers and seas.

When people believe in the Islam they should go to a Islamic country. A country where they can feel save with their ideology a country that forthfill their dreams and they don't have to live with 'dhimmi' people like European.

Turkey.. I see that as somekind of trojan horse when that would join the EU. 70 million muslims that would be a big bennefit for our countries.. we already pay ourselves sick for countries who hang on that kind of ideologies.

Seems that 1000% is criminal compared.
