A group of captured Jihadists in Damascus say they want to convert all people in the world to Islam. They say anyone in their own country who will not become a Muslim should be killed. They were all men. Why will your contributors who talk about “God” not admit that there is no evidence whatsoever that God or Allah are real? Apparent evidence such as visions and unexplained phenomena are, or were fabricated by deluded human beings, the product only of their minds, or in a minority of cases, unwise deceptions. Until people of all countries with access to information and complete education are prepared to speak the realistic truth, misguided or selfish people will continue to oppress. There is no heaven or hell, only our present imperfect earth revolving round the sun once every year! Do your “religious” contributors ever read about science, or is their education limited to religious texts?

If I were able to ask the newly emerged leader of Hamas a question I would say who are the martyrs in his fellow Arab country of Syria’s civil war. He has announced that he wishes to be a martyr for his fellow Palestinians. What on earth does he mean? This man purports to lead Hamas but lives in a state of unreality, to use another term, in dreamland. When are these people going to grow up?

Your article entitled “Change to Union Jack policy provokes riot in Belfast” states that “Irish nationalists from the Social Democrats and the Republican Sinn Fein now have a narrow majority in Belfast”. This is not the case. Both the SDLP (Social Democratic and Labour Party) and Sinn Féin are the only two nationalist parties on the council and their combined vote was 41.6% of the popular vote in the 2011 city council elections. Together they won 24 of the 51 seats in the council as per current boundaries (last changed in the 1970s).

My compliments for the global conversation specials like the one I am now watching between Monti and Hollande.

The simultaneous translation is very annoying however.
Since this is not a live broadcast can you please put subtitles in future ?

Kind regards,

After a short period of reasonably balanced reporting on the Palestinian/Israeli situation you once again reverted to some massaging of the facts. Last night in your review on the background of the application for observer status by the Palestinians, you used the word “guerrillas” when referring to acknowledged terrorists. It is possible that your journalists do not know the difference although this is unlikely.

I would request that you refrain from this type of distortion.

I am quoting your mission statement for the “No Comment” section. “At euronews we believe in the intelligence of our viewers and we think that the mission of a news channel is to deliver facts without any opinion or bias, so that the viewers can make their own opinion on world events”. Now, If you consider the title “Greek Shiites mark the day of Ashura
“ used by your team under a video depicting immigrants in Piraeus flocking themselves with blades as unbiased and presenting the facts, then you have obviously missed the mark by a mile when it comes to journalistic integrity and ethics. I would appreciate a response by someone of your team, if that wouldn’t be asking for too much.

If you are interested in true facts and are really willing to understand the Catalan know:
Although there is a majority of parties that support the right to decide, some of them are not separatists (ICV, Cup) as some international media are stating. Please see the difference between wishing and allowing the right to vote for or against independence from being a separatist. Many Catalans support this right but they would vote against breaking away from Spain. It seems amazing to watch some media focusing only in what they called wrongly “separatits” and missing the essential points. They wouldn’t do this with Scotland or they own country. Why they do this unprofessional and bias reports…? emotions and other interests could explain it…

ABOUT CUTS IN THE E.U BUDGET-THE LATEST SUMMIT.

It was a summit of set-backs.Britain which was accepted with the European Union
in 1973,known then as the European Econonmic Community,wants its own way.
The Franco-German axis is not as strong as before to press on the U.K to agree
to some European projects-Italy,the Netherands,Spain,Sweden and other European
states all want a say in the cuts.Another early summit should be assembled in Brussels.

NO SANE PERSON IN EUROPE WOULD ACCEPT THE SECESSION OF CATALONIA FROM
SPAIN.

Good Afternoon euronews….................,
No sane European would accept the fragmentation of Spain,nor of the Iberian peninsula.Spain which exists as a one entity since 1492,and which is famous as any other European country,urges
us to reject the secession of Catalonia from the Kingdom of Spain.Spain with its rich history,
culture and unique identity,urges everyone with a common sense to reject secessionism in Europe.
While the European Union is striving towards a stronger political and economical unity,the Catalans
are taking another road towards secession from Madrid.The Marcha Real-the Spanish national
anthem and the yellow-red and yellow horizontals of the Spanish flag with the royal coat of arms in the middle must be the national anthem and national flag of Catalonia.While we reject the secession of Catalonia from Spain,we support Catalonia’s financial and economical independence within Spain.
The Spanish prime minister has to grant concessions,financial and economical concessions to
Barcelona-Catalonia must not bear the brunt of injustices from Madrid,since it is the most richest
autonomous community in the Kingdom of Spain-in terms of economical wealth and most of its
regional revenues go to Madrid.Concessions have to be made.
Europeans are following every item of news in Spain-from recession to the high rate of unemployment to house evictions and soup kitchens,and also illegal immigrants and other ills,but
although their hearts yearn for all those Spanish negatives,they want Spain a united country.
Thank you very much euronews.

Why do distant cousins want so badly to kill each other? The Palestinians and Israelis are cousins, as are all of us living on this planet. If their many times great grandmother were here today she would bang their heads together till they saw some sense!!
