Jewish extremist religious leaders are recruiting other religions and groups in an attempt to preserve the practice of animal cruelty and other bizarre religious rituals, it has emerged.
Jewish and Muslim religious leaders from 18 European countries will gather in Paris this week to discuss the increasing prohibitions against “religious practices” in Europe, according to an article in the Israel National News.
The “Second Gathering of European Jewish and Muslim Leaders,” will be hosted by the European Jewish Congress (EJC) in cooperation with the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding and the Great Mosque of Paris, The European Jewish Press (EJP) reported.
During the event, the leaders will discuss, among other things, “effective strategies to combat extremism.”
Jewish and Muslim communities in Europe have become increasingly anxious over recent attempts to prohibit religious practices, including circumcisions and ritual slaughter of animals.
“The recent attacks against our religious practices in Europe are an assault on all people of faith and they are indeed an attack on freedom of expression, the very basis for a free, democratic and tolerant European society,” said President of the European Jewish Congress Moshe Kantor, according to EJP.
“We, European citizens, Muslims and Jews, stand together and say to our opponents that you will not be able to change our culture, our traditions and our religion. We are, of course, ready for compromise and dialogue with the governments and leadership of Europe,” Kantor added.
