2: Iranian President: Move Israel to Europe." ...
"Iran's hard-liner president, who has called for Israel's destruction,
said Thursday that the Jewish state should be moved to Europe if the West
wants to make up for the Holocaust." ... "Speaking to reporters at an Islamic
summit in the Muslim holy city of Mecca [Saudi Arabia], Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad implied that European countries backed the founding
of Israel in the Middle East in 1948 out of guilt over the Holocaust."
... ""Some European countries insist on saying that during World War II,
Hitler burned millions of Jews and put them in concentration camps," Ahmadinejad
said. "Any historian, commentator or scientist who doubts that is taken
to prison or gets condemned."" ... ""Let's give some land to the Zionists
in Europe or in Germany or Austria, so they can have their government there,"
he said. "They faced injustice in Europe, so why do the repercussions fall
on the Palestinians? Offer a piece of land from Europe, and we will back
this decision and will not attack this government.""

- "Some
Europeans Aren't Fans of Halloween: Halloween Is
Getting More Popular Across Europe, but Some Disparage the U.S.-Style Commercialism."
... "It's almost Halloween and all those ghosts, goblins, tricks and treats
are giving Hans Kohler the creeps." ... "So the mayor of Rankweil [Austria],
a town near the border with Switzerland, has launched a one-man campaign
disparaging Halloween as a "bad American habit" and urging families to
skip it this year." ... ""It's an American custom that's got nothing to
do with our culture," Kohler wrote in letters sent out to households. By
midweek, the mayors of eight neighboring villages had thrown their support
behind the boycott. So had local police, annoyed with the annual Oct. 31
uptick in vandalism and mischief." (1, 2)

voters go to the polls on Sunday in Austria's biggest regional election
before the next national poll and a key test for what is left of the far-right
Freedom Party after the departure of founder Joerg Haider." ... "The Freedom
Party (FPOe) has fanned widespread opposition to Turkish EU accession in
