Reader feedback: Religious values are for non-believers too

Re: EU forges its constitution, By Lukáš Fila, June 28 - July 4, Vol 10, No 25

Not being religious myself, I should not have a problem with the lack of reference to God or Christianity in the forthcoming EU constitution. But in fact I do! Apart from the fact that I respect the values of Christianity, I would regard the inclusion thereof as an almost fail-safe protection against the possible future accession to the EU of a predominantly Muslim nation (Turkey). I've got nothing against Muslims, but Europe is Europe, and Islam is alien to it. And geographically Turkey does not belong in Europe.

"Do ľava," (to the left) I yelled, "Nie, do prava" (no, to the right), I gasped. "Dolšie," I screamed. "Nie, nie, horšie..." My Slovak girlfriend collapsed in laughter. Was it something I said?
