the historian Arnold Toynbee wrote, and these words could certainly be Ms. Fallaci’s. She is in a black gloom about Europe and its future: “The increased presence of Muslims in Italy, and in Europe, is directly proportional to our loss of freedom.”
There is about her a touch of Oswald Spengler, the German philosopher and prophet of decline, as well as a flavor of Samuel Huntington and his clash of civilizations. But above all there is pessimism, pure and unashamed.
When I ask her what “solution” there might be to prevent the European collapse of which she speaks, Ms. Fallaci flares up like a lit match. “How do you dare to ask me for a solution? It’s like asking Seneca for a solution. You remember what he did?” She then says “Phwah, phwah,” and gestures at slashing her wrists. “He committed suicide!”
Seneca was accused of being involved in a plot to murder the emperor Nero. Without a trial, he was ordered by Nero to kill himself. One senses that Ms. Fallaci sees in Islam the shadow of Nero. “What could Seneca do?” she asks, with a discernible shudder. “He knew it would end that way–with the fall of the Roman Empire. But he could do nothing.” ………………………………………………………..

IKEA LAUNCHES OWN-BRAND HIJAB FOR MUSLIM STAFF
IKEA’s new Edmonton branch contacted TheHijabShop.com to design and produce a ‘hijab’ – a Muslim headscarf – that would fit in with their current uniform.When IKEA first approached TheHijabShop.com, their excited team was impressed that an internationally-acclaimed company like IKEA was making so much effort to accommodate Muslims in its workforce.The challenge for the team was to 
create a hijab that had the IKEA branding; that was easy to put on without the need for pins – so avoiding any health and safety hazards; and that was something employees would feel comfortable wearing in a working environment, whether in the showroom or in the warehouse. It also had to be compact, without excess material flowing around, and meanwhile sticking to Islamic requirements.

Ikea – en religion
“Kamprad ger oss ett rättvisare liv”
Ikea är stort och Ingvar dess profet.
Nu satsar möbeljätten på personalkläder för muslimer.
Och fĂĄr vetenskapligt stöd för att det faktiskt kan vara en religiös upplevelse att köpa möbler i platta kartonger…
