As I have written on this blog, the growth of terrorism is in fact aided and abetted by those in the West whose morality is so confused that tolerance and appeasement have replaced solid values for standing up for what is right.
One would think that the two countries in Western Europe who should be most sensitive to this issue only six decades after the Second World War are Germany and Italy.
I have written previously in this blog about the complicity of Germany with the terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. Elsewhere, I have been critical of German sale of chemicals to Iran.
Now comes proof of the sad complicity of Italy with the terrorists.
My contention is that my situation with Chapters is just a small example of the failure of the West to stand up to Islamists and badly behaving terrorists. Such pandering to extremists, I argue, is not in fact showing friendship to the average Muslim. It is oppressing the average Muslim as we empower extremists to oppress both their own people and innocent civilians from other countries.
Here is the story about Italy. I hope that soon the cultural relativists start to understand what the effect is of their "tolerance" and moral relativism!
Shock Admission: Italy Made Deal With Terrorists
August 18, 2008
This is similar to providing room and board to the guy you find breaking into your home.

In an astonishing admission, the former president of Italy has confirmed his country provided Palestinian terror groups with sanctuary and the ability to establish internal bases in a secret pact in which the terrorists pledged not to target Italian interests.
“I always knew, though not by official documents and information kept from me, about the existence of an agreement based on ‘don’t harm me and I won’t harm you’ between the Italian Republic and organizations such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the PLO,” Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga revealed in a letter to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
Cossiga was responding to an interview the newspaper conducted last week with Bassam Abu Sharif, a top Popular Front for the Liberation, or PFLP, leader who claimed Italy provided his group in the 1970s with safe haven in a non-aggression pact.
“The terms of the agreement were that the Palestinian organizations could even maintain armed bases of operation in the country, and they had freedom of entry and exit without being subject to normal police controls, because they were ‘handled’ by the secret services,” Cossiga wrote.
