A damning report exposes \u20ac32 million allocated to Islam-related initiatives, including \u20ac2 million for a University of Ghent study on Muslim women&#8217;s hairstyles and identities &#8220;beyond the veil.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over \u20ac3 million fuels anti-Muslim hatred programs like &#8220;Sustainable alliances against anti-Muslim hatred&#8221; and hate speech tracking in Italy. Add \u20ac10 million for the &#8220;European Koran&#8221; project and \u20ac17 million more on Sharia, Islamic culture, and traditions\u2014priorities that reek of ideological pandering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Roma inclusion grabs \u20ac2.2 million for nine projects under 2022\u20132027 programs. Highlights include \u20ac200,000 for Roma cultural heritage itineraries, \u20ac38,000 for Lanciano-based events promoting Roma culture via concerts and workshops, \u20ac60,000 for a tennis program instilling &#8220;respect for rules,&#8221; and \u20ac700,000 for psychological support in Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary. Over \u20ac320,000 combats &#8220;anti-Gypsyism&#8221; among youth, blaming exclusion solely on racism while ignoring deeper factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This extravagance unfolds as Member States face excessive deficit procedures, slashing public spending. Yet Brussels ignores the real crisis: Open Doors&#8217; 2026 World Watch List reports 388 million persecuted Christians globally\u2014up 8 million from last year\u2014with 4,849 faith-based killings in 2023. Why fund symbolic gestures for minorities when Christians endure &#8220;deathtraps&#8221; in sub-Saharan Africa? These expenditures cross into self-referential absurdity, diverting billions from tax relief and security to prop up a politically correct agenda. Host communities bear migration burdens without aid, as EU elites chase legitimization over citizens&#8217; needs. It&#8217;s time to halt this fiscal folly and refocus on Europe&#8217;s core values and economic survival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Union is squandering taxpayer funds on a slew of bizarre projects pushing Islamic integration and combating &#8220;Islamophobia,&#8221; all while citizens grapple with inflation, industrial decline, and fiscal austerity.
