Vona Gábor, the leader of the Hungarian anti-Zionist extreme nationalist party Jobbik, maintains that Islam is the last bastion of traditional culture. Therefore he believes its role is essential to ensure the survival of the world, and that Christianity should reconsider its position towards Islam.

A full transcript is below the jump:
| 01:11 | (reporter)You write in the book that the condition | |
| 01:14 | for the survival of the world is the persistence | |
| 01:17 | of the traditional culture, and the last | |
| 01:19 | bastion of the traditional culture is Islam. | |
| 01:22 | And then the commentator pondered that | |
| 01:25 | this comes from the pen of a party chairman | |
| 01:28 | who puts up double crosses at Christmas — | |
| 01:31 | this sounds rather strange... | |
| 01:33 | (Vona Gábor) It sounds strange, but if | |
| 01:35 | the person who wrote this critique | |
| 01:37 | had read the whole book, or if | |
| 01:39 | he had not picked these thoughts | |
| 01:41 | out of context, then he would have | |
| 01:43 | understood, if he had an average | |
| 01:45 | intelligence, and I hope, however, | |
| 01:46 | that he has it, or perhaps that day | |
| 01:48 | he got up on the wrong side of | |
| 01:50 | the bed. (rep.) He did not read it in the article, | |
| 01:53 | because he wrote in... | |
| 01:55 | (V.G.) Well, that’s very bad... very bad... (rep.) the hyperlink, he clicked on, and | |
| 01:58 | (rep.) I had a look at that article, | |
| 02:00 | there’s a bit more there. (V.G.) then if somebody refers to | |
| 02:02 | a book, then let him not pick the | |
| 02:04 | information from an article, but | |
| 02:06 | let him read the book, I certainly | |
| 02:08 | wrote that it would be practical | |
| 02:10 | for both the European and the | |
| 02:12 | Christian culture, and also for | |
| 02:14 | Hungary to think again regarding | |
| 02:16 | their relationship with Islam, because | |
| 02:18 | I think that on grounds of religion | |
| 02:21 | it should not be allowed to create | |
| 02:23 | conflicts between religions, and | |
| 02:25 | it is also not good if one judges | |
| 02:27 | the Islamic world by taking into | |
| 02:29 | consideration the Turks in Germany | |
| 02:31 | or the Muslims in western Europe, | |
| 02:33 | it could be compared with Hungary | |
| 02:35 | being judged on the basis of the | |
| 02:37 | crimes of gypsies in Zámoly at that time. | |
| 02:41 | (rep.) But there’s no big problem with | |
| 02:43 | the Turks in Germany, and... | |
| 02:44 | (V.G.) Yes, there are problems in Germany... | |
| 02:47 | (rep.) Yes, I understand, but they are not | |
| 02:49 | terrorists, compared to those who... | |
| 02:51 | you write that violence is not good, | |
| 02:54 | (rep.) I read it in that article... (V.G.) Thanks | |
| 02:56 | (rep.) but I want to say that those who | |
| 02:59 | give Islam a bad image, those are | |
| 02:02 | the terrorists, and those are not the | |
| 02:05 | Turks, the Turks in Germany, they are... | |
| 02:08 | (V.G.) We could talk about this issue, | |
| 02:10 | but now it’s about the Jobbik’s one-year | |
| 02:13 | term in parliament that... (rep.) all right, all right... |

Traitor.
His knowledge of history is as deep as a raindrop that just hit the ground.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Islam is oriental.
Islam is profane.
This "Hungarian" is more anti-Zionist than pro-Western.
He must be called out as such.
He must be humiliated.
The thinking that the last bastion of European traditional culture is Islam, is not exclusive to Vona Gabor's politics, drill down into British conservative thinking and there you will find the same affinity - conservative = tradition = islam. Indeed with this formula the Gorgeous George victory in Bradford West could be calculated as a victory for British conservatism. What say you Baroness Warsi?
Poor Hungary. They were occupied by the Turks for too long.
Um, the guy said the quote was taking out of context and if the person read the book he would've understood.
Since he wrote the book, I would have a tendency to believe the author over some leftest douchebag.
