The Native Revolt & The Need For A European Declaration of Independence

A "Native Revolt: A European Declaration of Independence" is another brilliant Fjordman essay. A real must-read. Fjordman's first draft of "A European Declaration of Independence" should be spread widely in the whole of Europe, before it's too late. Our governments have abandoned us long ago by choosing to be the enemy of the native European peoples, but if we common citizens unite and get organized, we can still make a difference. Fjordman's "A European Declaration of Independence" would represent a good starting point. I urge you to read the essay in its entirety.

After the death last Sunday of Rinie Mulder, a 54-year old indigenous Dutchman who was shot by a police officer, non-immigrant citizens went on a rampage in Utrecht. Apparently Mulder intervened when Muslim youths harassed a pregnant native Dutch woman. Locals claim the police has failed to protect them for years. They say the authorities are afraid of the immigrants and tolerate their criminal behavior.

This issue is not just about Utrecht or Holland. Similar resentment against Muslim immigrants, but at least as much against their own authorities, is quietly brewing among the natives all over Western Europe.

It is insulting that two thirds of the Dutch, one of the founding members of the European community, voted against the proposed EU Constitution, and yet EU leaders will apparently just ignore this and force their massively undemocratic Constitution down people's throats anyway. The German Presidency wants EU leaders to agree on a text for a new treaty by February 2008. The label 'Constitution' is to be dropped, in order to avoid further referendums.

European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso expressed unease with the prospect of a second Dutch constitution referendum. "Referendums make the process of approval of European treaties much more complicated and less predictable," he said "If a referendum had been held on the creation of the European Community or the introduction of the Euro, do you think these would have passed?"

Although the EU warns against "Islamophobia," those who live in the real world know that there has been an explosion of violent infidelophobia in Western Europe staged by Muslim immigrants. This wave of violence especially targets Jews, but the attacks against Christians that are going on in the Middle East are increasingly spreading to Europe as well. In more and more cities across the continent, non-Muslims are being harassed, robbed, mugged, raped, stabbed and even killed by Muslims. Native Europeans are slowly becoming second-rate citizens in their own countries. Read it all here.

Germany: Retired Protestant Minister Immolates Himself To Protest Spread Of Islam

IHT: BERLIN: A retired Protestant minister died Wednesday of burns after setting himself on fire, apparently to express his concern over the spread of Islam, a church official said.

The Rev. Roland Weisselberg, 73, climbed into a construction site next to the Augustinerkloser church in the city of Erfurt, poured gasoline over himself and set himself on fire Tuesday during Reformation Day church services, said church provost Elfried Begrich at a news conference.

Weisselberg said in a letter that Germany's Protestant church should take the problem of the spread of Islam more seriously, said Begrich. He had spoken about the issue more and more over the past several years, according to Begrich.

France: "Youths" Keep Torching Buses; Woman Suffers Severe Burns

Yahoo! News: PARIS (Reuters) - A woman in the southern city of Marseille suffered severe burns when vandals set fire to a bus she was traveling on, a police source said on Saturday.

The attack occurred as France marked the first anniversary of riots that scarred the country's poor suburbs, inhabited largely by immigrants.

Vandals have set at least six buses on fire in suburbs around Paris this week in an upsurge of violence ahead of the anniversary, but there have been no injuries.

The police source said an unknown number of people forced their way on to the bus in Marseille at about 9.00 p.m. (1900 GMT) and set fire to it before a 26-year-old woman could escape.

"The woman's life is in danger," the source said.

Three other people needed treatment for smoke inhalation.

Fjordman: Why the European Union Must be Dismantled

Another must-read by Fjordman:

In my criticism of the European Union, I have been accused of being too positive towards the nation state. It is true that Western civilization isn't exclusively about nation states. The Renaissance took place in the city states of Italy while nation states were non-existent or weak. It is also true that there is a potentially destructive side to nationalism as opposed to defensive patriotism. However, our current democratic system is tied to nation states. The EU didn't cause all of Europe's problems, but it made some of them worse, and added a few new ones. If the EU collapsed tomorrow, we would still be in a lot of trouble, but at least we would have a fighting chance. I have heard a number of people say that "Europe is already lost." I do agree with them that if the political situation remains as it is today, then yes, Europe is lost to Islam, or at least significant parts of Western Europe, maybe not all of Eastern Europe. But I'm not so sure whether the political situation will, or has to, remain as it is today.

Tens of millions of ordinary citizens are now rapidly waking up to the full scale of the Islamic threat. The problem is that many Western Europeans have a sense of hopelessness because they need to confront so many enemies at the same time. Let's call them Enemy 1, 2 and 3. Enemy 1 is Islam and Muslim immigration. Enemy 2 is the anti-Western bias of our media and academia.

....We can start with the Muslims. Their greatest flaw is that they are insanely aggressive and can't handle criticism or mockery at all. A smart move would be to deliberately provoke Muslims as much as humanly possible. The more they rage and rant and threaten, the more they will discredit the ones who said it was a good idea to let them into our countries and that everybody who said otherwise were "racists."

Fjordman: The Eurabia Code, Part 4

We Have to Destroy the European Union in Order to Save Europe

Here are some Big Lies:

• Diversity is always good;
• Multiculturalism is inevitable, as is continued EU integration;
• Those opposing it are ignorant racists standing against the tide of history;
• Muslim immigration is “good for the economy” and is necessary for funding the welfare state in the future, despite the fact that it drains away enormous resources.

The creation of Eurabia ranks as one of the greatest betrayals in the history of Western civilization.

Blair: Britain Needs Debate About Islam

Wow. Blair has progressed from Islam-is-a-religion-of-peace-hijacked-by-a-tiny-minority-of- extremists to let's-have-a-debate-about-Islam.

IHT: LONDON Prime Minister Tony Blair said Tuesday that Britain needed a debate about the position of Muslims, but that the faith also needed to decide how it comes to terms with modernity.

At his monthly news conference, Blair said he supported a local school authority's decision to bar a Muslim woman from working as a teacher while wearing a veil.

He said, however, that should be just one issue in a broader debate about "the relationship between our society and how the Muslim community integrates with our society."

"There's a second issues which is about Islam itself, and how Islam comes to terms with and is comfortable with the modern world," Blair said.

Similar debates, he said, were happening around Europe and in the Muslim world.

UK: 14 y-o Schoolgirl Arrested For Refusing To Study With Non-English Speaking Asians

Britain's big big problem.

Daily Mail: A teenage schoolgirl was arrested by police for racism after refusing to sit with a group of Asian students because some of them did not speak English.

Codie Stott's family claim she was forced to spend three-and-a-half hours in a police cell after she was reported by her teachers.

The 14-year-old - who was released without charge - said it had been a simple matter of commonsense and accused the school and police of an over-the-top reaction.

The incident happened in the same local education authority where a ten-year-old boy was prosecuted earlier this year for calling a schoolfriend racist names in the playground, a move branded by a judge "political correctness gone mad."

Codie was attending a GCSE science class at Harrop Fold High School in Worsley, Greater Manchester, when the incident happened.

The teenager had not been in school the day before due to a hospital appointment and had missed the start of a project, so the teacher allocated her a group to sit with.

"She said I had to sit there with five Asian pupils," said Codie yesterday.

"Only one could speak English, so she had to tell that one what to do so she could explain in their language. Then she sat me with them and said 'Discuss'."

According to Codie, the five - four boys and a girl - then began talking in a language she didn't understand, thought to be Urdu, so she went to speak to the teacher.

"I said 'I'm not being funny, but can I change groups because I can't understand them?' But she started shouting and screaming, saying 'It's racist, you're going to get done by the police'."

Codie said she went outside to calm down where another teacher found her and, after speaking to her class teacher, put her in isolation for the rest of the day.

A complaint was made to a police officer based full-time at the school, and more than a week after the incident on September 26 she was taken to Swinton police station and placed under arrest.

"They told me to take my laces out of my shoes and remove my jewellery, and I had my fingerprints and photograph taken," said Codie. "It was awful."

After questioning on suspicion of committing a section five racial public order offence, her mother Nicola says she was placed in a bare cell for three-and-a-half hours then released without charge.

She only returned to lessons this week and has been put in a different science class.

Yesterday Miss Stott, 37, a cleaner, said: "Codie was not being racist." "The reaction from the school and police is totally over the top and I am furious my daughter had to go through this trauma when all she was saying was common sense. "

This story is yet another sign of anarcho-tyranny in the UK.

The less control the authorities have with Muslims, the more control they want to exercise over non-Muslims. As problems in Europe get worse, which they will, the EU will move in an increasingly repressive direction until it either becomes a true, totalitarian entity or falls apart. This strange mix of powerful censorship of public debate, yet little control over public law and order, has by some been labelled anarcho-tyranny.

While Islamic groups in Britain openly brag about how they are going to subdue the country by violent means or call for beheading those insulting Islam, Bryan Cork, 49, of Carlisle, Cumbria, in the Lake District, was sentenced to six months in jail for standing outside a mosque shouting, “Proud to be British,” and “Go back to where you came from.” One British court ruled that even use of the word “immigrant” as an insult could amount to proof of racial hostility.

“Racist” Schoolgirl (14 yrs old) Arrested in al-Britannia

In al-Britannia, you end up in jail if you complain that immigrants do not speak English, but if you are saying that those who insult Islam should be killed, it’s OK.

Non-white headmaster + 98% white school + virulent anti-racism = what, exactly?

Doctor (of?) Anthony Edkins is not English. He is, however, headmaster of the very English Harrop Fold School in Worsley, Manchester. He is really rather keen on anti-racism, and appears to have taken to himself and his staff the task of instilling this charming philosophy in his lucky pupils.

The result is that Harrop Fold is rapidly becoming the most heavy-handed, notoriously white-hating school in the country. Last April, a 10-year old boy who, allegedly, had called an 11-year-old mixed-race pupil a ‘Paki’, ‘Bin Laden’ and ‘nigger’ during a playground argument was charged with “a racially aggravated public order offence”.

Robert Spencer of Dhimmi Watch thinks this story means the UK is about to become history and plunge into the Islamic Dark Ages.

This story shows the suicidal madness of multiculturalism. That the U.K. has race laws at all, and that a teenage girl can be jailed for refusing the honor of "discussing" a school project with a group of people who can't speak English, are emblems of a society that has lost all sense of itself and is ripe for conquest. For if the conquerors are of a different race, how will the British possibly muster the will to resist? To do so would be "racism." The U.K. is finished. Finished. It will sooner become an Islamic Republic than it will lift a finger in any "racist" direction.

For "racism" has become the one unpardonable offense above all others, and educational standards, common sense, and common decency all must bow down at the altar of multicultural equality. We can be certain that if a Muslim student had asked to be put in a different group after being assigned to one with four Christian students, not only would the Muslim not have been jailed or punished in any way, but the Christians would have been reprimanded.

Meanwhile, Sharia proponents operate unhindered in the same country, aided and abetted by those race laws.

Aznar: “Muslims should apologize for occupying Spain for 800 years”

Aznar, ex-PM of Spain, is definitely no dhimmi.

EITB: Muslims should apologize for occupying Spain for 800 years and a U.N.-backed program to encourage dialogue between them and West is stupid, former Spanish prime minister Jose Maria Aznar has said. Aznar made his comments Friday night in a speech at the Hudson Institute, a thinktank in Washington, D.C., as he discussed Pope Benedict XVI's recent remarks on Islam and violence.

Aznar, a firm ally of U.S. President George W. Bush and his war on terror, said the West is under attack from radical Islam and must defend itself. “It is them or it is us,” Aznar said. “There is no middle ground.” He did not elaborate. Aznar said he found it surprising that Muslims have demanded an apology from the pope over his Sept. 12 remarks.

Aznar noted the nearly 800-year Moorish occupation of Spain that began in the year 711 with an invasion from North Africa. He said Muslims had never apologized for this but still demand apologies whenever they feel offended by remarks by non-Muslims. “It's absurd,” Aznar said.

He also criticized an initiative launched last year by his Socialist successor, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, to encourage dialogue between the West and Muslim countries.

Dhimmitude Abounds

From Gates of Vienna "Why We Cannot Rely on Moderate Muslims" by Fjordman who is posting at Gates of Vienna.

According to Dr. Daniel Pipes, Omar Ahmad, the long-serving chairman of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, reportedly told a crowd of California Muslims in July 1998, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.”

In 2005, three Dallas-area brothers were convicted of supporting terrorism by funnelling money to a high-ranking official in the militant Palestinian group Hamas. Ghassan and Bayan Elashi and their company were found guilty of all 21 federal counts they faced: conspiracy, money laundering and dealing in property of a terrorist. Ghassan Elashi was the founder of the Texas chapter of CAIR. (go read it all)

Fjordman is a wonderful writer and I try to read everything he writes. This particular article is one of his best. Do go read it, check the references and links and look at the pictures.

Also at Gates of Vienna today, by Dymphna , "The Danish Face in the NATO Picture":

In a previous post, one which dealt with General Abizaid’s visit to the Middle East in July, there was a briefing in Kabul. There, the General was informed about a request for a U.S. military police battalion. Soldier-like, the Genral responded: “Bulls---! The alliance needs to start acting like an alliance.” He wants the NATO team to “have more than an American and British face.”

Hmm…some big ears in Denmark must have been listening.

In what has been termed a “Commandogram from Denmark”, Danish special forces at home have requested to be sent to Afghanistan to support their fellow-soldiers currently serving as part of the NATO alliance which has taken over counter-terrorism efforts in that country.

From Little Green Footballs, "Britain's Disastrous Coddling of Radical Islam":

The Daily Mail reports that four Muslim organizations connected to the 7/7 bombers received large sums of money from the British government.

Government grants totalling hundreds of thousands of pounds were handed out to Muslim organisations infiltrated by the July 7 suicide bombers.

Huge chunks of taxpayers’ money were given to four Leeds-based institutions that were the haunts of ring-leader Mohammed Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer. Grants ranging from a few hundred pounds to £200,000 were made in Beeston, the bombers’ home territory where three of the four 7/7 bombers lived.

The money came from funds intended to regenerate the area but suspicions persist that some of the cash may have been diverted to recruit and train the home-grown terrorists who killed 52 people in last year’s attacks.

The Iqra Islamic bookshop - where hate-filled DVDs glorifying suicide bombers were produced - was one recipient.

Leeds Community School, which shared the same building with the radical bookstore, obtained a grant of over £106,000 for ‘staffing and construction costs.’

The ‘al-Qaeda gym’ in the basement of a nearby mosque used by Edgware Road bomber Khan,30, was also equipped with money provided by Leeds City Council.

The Hamara youth centre, raided by police after the four men blew themselves and where Khan’s inner circle met, received two £200,000 grants for building costs and an £189,000 EU building grant.

Details of the government financing emerged during research for a Channel 4 documentary, Cult of the Suicide Bomber.

I need to say that I think CAIR is nothing but a front for the Islamic terrorists and they happen to be located INSIDE the United States of America. I believe it is a mistake of great dhimmitude on our government's part to allow them free reign in America. They have made their goal plain and simple for their entire existence. Why the US government will not realize their goal of making the great United States of America an Islamic nation is beyond my ability to understand.

Multiculturalism and the new racists

As defined by Wikipedia, 'Multiculturalism is an ideology advocating that society should consist of, or at least allow and include, distinct cultural groups, with equal status. Multiculturalism contrasts with the monoculturalism which was historically the norm in the European nation-state.'

That was and is Europe. In the United States, historically things have been different. 'The central metaphor is the idea of the Melting Pot - where all the immigrant cultures are mixed and amalgamated without state intervention. The Melting Pot implied that each individual immigrant, and each group of immigrants, assimilated into American society at their own pace, improving their income and social status on the way.'

Europe is paying the price for non-assimilation of immigrants, specifically Muslims. Unfortunately America may be headed in the same direction. Multiculturalism is a growing force in America's universities and public life, according to Ayn Rand.

In common language, that means that all cultures, from that of a 'spirits-worshiping tribe to that of an advanced industrial civilization, are NOT equal and CANNOT live in a country together and yet separate on equal footing.

We are opposed to this destructive doctrine. We hold that moral judgment is essential to life. The ideas and values that animate a particular culture can and should be judged objectively. A culture that values freedom, progress, reason and science, for instance, is good; one that values oppression, stagnation, mysticism, and ignorance is not. source

The Assyrian International News Agency in The Death of Multiculturalism
brought together a groups of experts, Bat Ye'or, Claire Berlinski, Bruce Bawer, Fjordman, Hege Storhaug, Leon de Winter, and Lars Hedegaard, to answer these questions:

First: what exactly have been the consequences of Muslim immigration to Western Europe? Second: has the official policy of multiculturalism in Western Europe suffered a death? If so, is it too little too late?

You can go read the full text of the debate, but here are a few gems:

Fjordman: [snip] I do not believe there is such thing as a moderate Islam. I disagree with Storhaug in this regard. I can't see any significant signs that a Reformation of Islam is happening, and I have serious doubts as to whether it is possible at all, from a theological point of view. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is an ex-Muslim, not a secular Muslim, whatever that is. We are fooling ourselves with talk about peaceful coexistence with Islam. [snip]

It may sound unrealistic to talk about the collapse of the European Union or pulling out of the UN, but I believe things will rapidly get worse in the years ahead. A generation from now, things that will seem improbable or outright impossible now will have come to pass. We will see some of the largest changes in world politics since WW2, perhaps in centuries.

Bawer: [snip] ... the whole point is that Western European governments today tend to be so cowed by Islam that, within that context, Fogh Rasmussen's defiance was remarkable. [snip]
... but the response of many other Danes has been to fret endlessly about the reputation of their country elsewhere in Europe, in the EU, and in the UN. Journalists and politicians have told them that the Muhammed cartoons, and Fogh Rasmussen's defense of Jyllands-Posten's right to print them, have given Denmark a reputation as racist, as "Islamophobic" -- and they've bought it, and feel apologetic about it. Whether or not they really think their country is racist is irrelevant -- they're worried about Denmark's image. In the Netherlands, Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh were also heroic opponents of multicultural mindlessness -- and were killed for it.

I will leave you with one last throught from Storhaug: 'The Left in Norway has now even constructed a new term; "new racism". "The new racist" is a person who is critical to political Islam. This false construction, combined with also labelling those who are critical to political Islam as "Islamophobes", has its obvious parallels to techniques used by the followers of Stalin.'

What say you?

9 Jihadis Scooped Up In Denmark

Not surprisingly, in this article the BBC "forgets" to mention the M-word.

Danish police have arrested nine suspected terrorists, the country’s security intelligence service says.

The suspects, believed to be all men under the age of 30, were picked up during overnight raids in Odense, Denmark’s third largest city. The country’s Justice Minister, Lene Espersen, said it was likely they were planning an attack in Denmark.

The men had been under surveillance for months and were detained on suspicion of planning terror acts. All nine are due in court later and are being held under anti-terror laws introduced after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US.

Ms Espersen said: “The clues police found indicate that they were very likely planning an attack somewhere in Denmark.

“It was the most serious matter I have had in my time as justice minister. Police went in and stopped the group as it was preparing an attack.”

Fortunately, the Jyllands-Posten bothers to shed some light on the plotters' background, stunning the clueless with this relevation:

All of those arrested are of Islamic background and under 30 years old.

Hmmm.

More info on Yahoo News.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Danish authorities said they foiled a serious terror plot Tuesday with the arrest of nine men accused of preparing explosives for a planned attack in Denmark.

3 more charged in jetliner bomb plot

3 more British Muslims charged in transatlantic mass murder plot

AP: LONDON - British anti-terrorist police charged three more people late Tuesday with conspiring to commit murder in the alleged plot to blow up U.S.-bound airliners.

The three — Mohammed Yasar Gulzar, Mohammed Shamin Uddin and Nabeel Hussain — were also charged with preparing to commit terrorism by helping in an alleged plan to smuggle explosives aboard the planes, police said.

Eleven people have now been charged on those two counts. Four others were charged with lesser offenses, including having knowledge of a terrorist activity but not disclosing information about it.

A Scotland Yard statement said Gulzar, Uddin and Hussain conspired with eight other suspects in the alleged plot and had intended to commit “acts of terrorism engaged in conduct to give effect to their intention to smuggle the component parts of improvised explosive devices onto aircraft and assemble and detonate them on board.”

All three men will be arraigned on Wednesday. Of 25 people originally arrested, 15 have been charged and are being held by police, five others remain in custody without charge and five have been released.

Chief Magistrate Timothy Workman earlier ordered Nabeel Hussain’s brother Mehran Hussain held in custody until Sept. 19. Mehran Hussain, and his other brother, Umair, are charged with failing to tell police about Nabeel’s alleged involvement in what prosecutors say was a plot to down airliners using plastic and liquid explosives.

Workman also ordered Cossar Ali, 24, held in custody until Sept. 5, when her lawyer David Gottlieb said he intends to apply for bail. Ali, the only woman charged so far in connection with the alleged plot, is accused of failing to disclose information about a possible terrorist attack. Her husband, Ahmed Abdullah Ali, also is among the 15 people charged in the case.

Earlier in the day, a 17-year-old accused of storing an explosives manual and other documents connected to an alleged plot to blow up trans-Atlantic airliners was denied bail during a court appearance.

The teenager, who cannot be identified, was remanded until a Sept. 19 hearing at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court. His attorney, Gareth Peirce, said the teenager intended to plead not guilty. He faces up to 10 years in jail if convicted, prosecutor Colin Gibbs told the court.

Gibbs told the court the teenager is accused of storing an explosives manual, a map of Afghanistan and five wills made out by people planning to commit suicide bombings — items police consider likely connected to planned acts of terrorism.

Waiting for Churchill or Waiting for Godot?

The lastest "interfaith" UK poll indicates the rising concerns of the general population towards Islam. Similarly, various recent polls all seem to point to a growing awareness among normal European citizens about the current Islamic threat to Europe. This recent essay from Fjordman, Waiting for Churchill or Waiting for Godot?, illustrates the significance of these polls and much more.

... "During the height of the Muhammad cartoons crisis, Fjordman was among the minority who thought this was good news for Europe and the West. Although it may sound absurd to Americans, those rather innocent cartoons may have done more to open the eyes of Europeans to the Islamic threat than the terror attacks of 9/11, the London and Madrid bombings combined. People who can burn down embassies because of something so silly quite simply don't have anything at all in common with us, and cannot function in our democratic societies. Muslims may have pushed too far, too early, and thus jolted some life back into even the near-comatose continent of Europe. I see some signs that this interpretation may have been correct, and that the tide is indeed changing. Recent opinion polls indicate that there is now a critical mass of ordinary Europeans who no longer buy the brainwashing about Islam being a peaceful religion.

In Germany, according to a study commissioned by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, 56 percent of Germans said they believed a "clash of cultures" already existed. 71 percent said they believed Islam to be "intolerant," some 91 per cent said they associated Islam with oppression of women. Asked if there should be a ban on the building of mosques in Germany as long as the building of churches in some Islamic states is forbidden, 56 per cent agreed. There was even considerable backing for ending Germany's constitutional right of freedom of religion with regard to Islam. Asked if strict limits should be imposed on the practice of Islam in Germany to protect the country, 40 per cent said they would support such moves. In the Netherlands, 63 per cent of respondents thought Islam was incompatible with modern European life. Even in Sweden, the purgatory of Political Correctness, opinion polls have revealed that two out of three Swedes doubt whether Islam can be combined with Swedish society. Recently, I have also for the first time seen visible cracks in the wall of censorship on public debate in Sweden. Change is in the air, all over Europe.

Europeans now gradually start to awaken from the spell of Multiculturalism, Political Correctness and Muslim immigration, but they still don't know how deep the rabbit hole goes. Most of them still haven't heard of Eurabia, or the fact that the European Union, including many of their own, entrusted representatives, have actively encouraged massive Muslim immigration to the continent. Until they do this, it will be more difficult to bring down the EU, and that is absolutely necessary in my view for Europe to prevail from this. No, the EU isn't the only problem Europe has, but it is by far the worst, and we don't have even a theoretical chance of fixing our other problems as long as the EU is in charge. It needs to be removed completely. The hour is late. Is it too late? Even if it's not too late, whatever can be done needs to be done soon.

...There are many people who think Europe is already lost. I happen to be among the ones who have stated that this is only one of several possible outcomes. Europe is now at one of those famous crossroads where the course of history could go either way. Given the weakness of Europe and the rapid expansion of Islam, it would be foolish to discount the possibility that Muslims could win this. However, I happen to think that another possibility is that Islam not only will lose the battle for Europe, but could become destroyed as a global force during this century. Maybe in some strange way, Europe needs to go through a period of colonization and de-colonization herself, to get rid of her post-colonial guilt complex?"

British Home Secretary: Islam Means Peace

Appalling display of ignorance by British Home Secretary John Reid in this BBC article. Reid wrongly believes that Islam stands for "peace". Nevermind that Islam actually means submission, and that peace in Islam can only exist when everyone is either a Muslim, a dhimmi or just dead.

BBC: [...] He [Reid] said the EU faced a form of terrorism that is "unconstrained" in its evil intention and its capacity for mass murder. He called for a common response to protect European values of freedom and tolerance.

Dr Reid condemned Islamist extremists, whom he suspects to be behind the latest terror plot. Their creed was one of "intolerant and violent totalitarianism".

They were, he said, subverting a religion - Islam - whose name stands for peace.

Now will someone please explain to me how can anyone this ignorant be Home Secretary of the UK? Europe is in good hands indeed!

The Twin Myths of Eurabia

The lastest piece by Fjordman can be read at Dhimmi Watch.

Bat Ye'or is the most informed contemporary scholar of the unique Islamic institution of dhimmitude, the repressive and humiliating apartheid system imposed upon those non-Muslims (i.e., dhimmis) subjugated by Jihad. Sir Jadunath Sarkar, the pre-eminent historian of Mughal India, wrote the following in 1920 regarding the impact of centuries of Jihad and dhimmitude on the indigenous Hindus of the Indian subcontinent:

"The conversion of the entire population to Islam and the extinction of every form of dissent is the ideal of the Muslim State. If any infidel is suffered to exist in the community, it is as a necessary evil, and for a transitional period only. Political and social disabilities must be imposed on him, and bribes offered to him from the public funds, to hasten the day of his spiritual enlightenment and the addition of his name to the roll of true believers." "A non-Muslim therefore cannot be a citizen of the State; he is a member of a depressed class; his status is a modified form of slavery. He lives under a contract (zimma, or 'dhimma') with the State: for the life and property grudgingly spared to him by the commander of the faithful he must undergo political and social disabilities, and pay a commutation money. In short, his continued existence in the State after the conquest of his country by the Muslims is conditional upon his person and property made subservient to the cause of Islam."

According to Bat Ye'or, Eurabia is essentially a political project for a demographic and cultural symbiosis between Europe and the Arab Muslim world, a new extended Mediterranean "continent" made possible by EU authorities through deliberately favoring Muslim immigration, promoting Multiculturalism and the dissemination of Arab and Islamic culture in Europe. In the essay Andalusian Myth, Eurabian Reality, co-authored with Andrew G. Bostom, editor of the comprehensive book The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims, Bat Ye'or dispels one of the founding myths of Eurabia: that of the alleged "tolerance" of medieval Spain under Islamic rule.

Judge shot dead in Turkish court over ban on headscarves

If you needed one more reason why Turkey should never be allowed in the EU, - besides the obvious and more than compelling one Geddaphi gave us not long ago...

"We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe - without swords, without guns, without conquests. The fifty million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.
"Allah mobilizes the Muslim nation of Turkey, and adds it to the European Union."
[…]
"That's another 50 million Muslims. There will be 100 million Muslims in Europe. Albania, which is a Muslim country, has already entered the E.U."

Three Mistakes and a Danger

The National Review Online has a very good article on Iraq and Iran.

"A nuclear-armed Iran would change the balance of power in the world against us, and we cannot allow it to happen. It's time to stop pretending that a corrupt U.N. or an already half-dhimmified EU will prevent it. Neither can we afford to wait in hope that the millions of ordinary Iranians who despise the mullahs will overthrow them before they have nuclear weapons in quantity, and make good on their threat to spread them throughout the Islamofascist world. "

EU Imams Told Anti-Muslim Bias Dangerously High

EU Imams Told Anti-Muslim Bias Dangerously High

"This is starting to make no sense at all unless it's looked at from a certain direction. The article referred to above is from an Islamic, pro-Islam website and they are clearly concerned about the rising tide of anti-Islam sentiment growing in Europe.

The people of Europe are moving from an original tolerance of Islam to a dislike of Islam to an outright hatred of it, and rightly so in the face of the Islamic riots, rapes, robbings, murders and burning, as well as the constant screeching and attacks from them against Freedom of Speech.

At the same time, the government leaders are pressing for more laws protecting and literally promoting Islam. Now, either they are blind and deaf and totally uncaring of their own political careers, or something else is happening.

I think it would be really interesting if someone with the time and means of doing so would investigate the incomes of these "leaders". I would not be surprised if it were discovered that the Saudis were funneling great chunks of money into private accounts for these people, enough money that what they stand to gain from being in politics would pale in comparison.

Why else are so many European leaders selling out their own nations in the face of this terrible threat that is right now bringing down one disaster after another on their people?"

Yes, indeed why?

EU Freezes aid to Palestinian Government

EU Freezes Aid to Palestinian Government

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission said on Friday it had halted aid payments to the Hamas-led Palestinian government because the new cabinet had not recognized Israel's right to exist or renounced violence.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar, whose government took office last week, warned the EU in response that cutting aid would harm its credibility and may lead to boycotts of European interests in the Islamic world.

"For the time being, there are no payments to or through the Palestinian Authority," Commission spokeswoman Emma Udwin said.

She told a news briefing the European Union executive was adopting "a policy of maximum prudence," which did not prejudge decisions by foreign ministers of the 25-nation bloc when they meet in Luxembourg next Monday.
