Germany: Thousands Stage Anti-immigration Rally, Rail against 'Islamization of West'

THE JERUSALEM POST: The rally by a fast-growing grass-roots movement calling itself PEGIDA, or Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West, was its 10th and largest so far.

DRESDEN - More than 17,000 people took part in Germany's largest anti-immigrant rally to date on Monday in the eastern city of Dresden, gathering to sing Christmas carols and listen to speakers complain about immigrants and asylum-seekers.

The rally by a fast-growing grass-roots movement calling itself PEGIDA, or Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West, was its 10th and largest so far.

"Germany is not a land of immigration," PEGIDA leader Lutz Bachmann told the cheering crowd, which waved Germany flags and chanted criticism of media it accuses of biased reporting. » | Reuters | Tuesday, December 23, 2014

EDL Holds Far-right Rally in Denmark to Unite 'Anti-Islamic Alliance'

THE GUARDIAN: Mayor of Aarhus says far-right extremists protesting at 'Islamification of Europe' are not welcome in Danish second city

Far-right groups from across Europe, including members of the English Defence League (EDL), are holding a rally in Denmark in a bid to set up "an anti-Islamic alliance" across the continent.

The demonstration in Denmark's second city of Aarhus is expected to draw anti-Islamic groups from countries including Russia, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Poland, Romania, and Sweden.

The EDL, which has organised the rally, said it was not expecting large numbers – perhaps around 700 – but said the event signalled the beginning of a Europe-wide movement against the "Islamification of Europe". » | Damien Pearse and agencies | Saturday, March 31, 2012

The Battle Against the Islamization of Europe

Bruce Bawer: A Dark Day for the Enlightenment
CITY JOURNAL: The Geert Wilders trial is an affront to Western liberty.

Since 9/11, there has been a series of red-letter dates that should figure in any future history of the Islamization of Europe. One thinks, for example, of the Madrid train bombings on March 11, 2004, and of the general election three days later, in which Spanish citizens, apparently bowing to the terrorists’ wishes, voted in the Socialists, who had promised to pull the nation’s troops out of Iraq. One thinks, too, of the London bombings on July 7, 2005; of the international violence that followed the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten’s publication of cartoons of Mohammed on September 30, 2005; and of the shameful episode in which editor Vebjørn Selbekk, under intense pressure from craven Norwegian government leaders, apologized to a gathering of imams on February 10, 2006, for having bravely reprinted the cartoons.

Many of these red-letter dates have been concentrated in the Netherlands, a small country that once upon a time—not so long ago, in fact—was perceived around the world as a beacon of freedom and tolerance. The murder of professor, author, and Islam critic Pim Fortuyn in Hilversum on May 6, 2002, was followed by that of filmmaker, raconteur, and Islam critic Theo van Gogh in Amsterdam on November 2, 2004, and by the resignation of politician and Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali from the Dutch parliament on May 16, 2006. Ali’s resignation came as the result of a cowardly effort by her legislative colleagues to remove from their ranks the voice of a heroine of liberty, whom they plainly perceived as nothing more than a troublemaker in a country whose political and cultural elite has, in modern times, been less driven by principle than by consensus and compromise.

Today, alas, is also a red-letter date in the terrible history of this period, and once again the setting is the Netherlands. The figure at the center of today’s infamy is Islam critic Geert Wilders, member of the Dutch Parliament, head of the Freedom Party, and currently the most popular politician in the country—a man who, like Fortuyn eight years ago, looks like a strong prospect to be his nation’s next prime minister. Yet if Wilders enjoys strong backing from the Dutch electorate, he is also—again like Fortuyn, and for that matter like van Gogh and Hirsi Ali—despised by the Dutch political, cultural, educational, media, and business establishment, which has plainly decided not to fight the Netherlands’ Islamization but rather to help the process go as smoothly as possible.

Members of this establishment have made many efforts to silence Wilders. When he announced in November 2007 that he was making a film about the Koran, members of the Dutch cabinet expressed regret that they had no authority to stop him. During the same month, a leading member of the Dutch establishment, Doekle Terpstra, organized a coalition of influential Dutchmen whose goal was to exclude Wilders’s views from the public square. “Wilders is the evil,” said Terpstra, “and that evil must be stopped.” In January 2008, a long list of celebrated Dutchmen signed a statement that appeared on the front page of the newspaper Trouw condemning Wilders’s “intolerance” and calling for “a new balance between the values of then and now.” Bernard Welten, Amsterdam’s police chief, held talks with imams about Wilders’s film; the country’s national counterterrorism coordinator proposed that Wilders leave the country after its release. Commenting on Wilders, a long line of top Dutch politicians declared, in effect, that freedom of speech didn’t include the freedom to offend. In April 2007, intelligence and security officials had called Wilders on the carpet and demanded that he tone down his rhetoric about Islam; in February 2008, the Dutch ministers of justice and foreign affairs summoned him to a similar dressing-down. Wilders’s film, Fitna, appeared online on March 27, 2008. … >>> Bruce Bawer | Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Fitna the Movie

Geert Wilders Applauded at Florida Synagogue

ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE (ADL): ADL Condemns Anti-Islam Remarks Made by Dutch Parliamentarian During Appearances in S. Florida

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) strongly condemns remarks made over the last few days at various appearances throughout South Florida by Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders. In his speeches, he claimed that "Islam is not a religion" and "the right to religious freedom should not apply to this totalitarian ideology called Islam." Mr. Wilders also stated that the Koran is a book of hatred, and that Mohammed was both "a pedophile and a warlord."

Andrew Rosenkranz, ADL Florida Regional Director, issued the following statement:

The ADL strongly condemns Geert Wilders' message of hate against Islam as inflammatory, divisive and antithetical to American democratic ideals.

This rhetoric is dangerous and incendiary, and wrongly focuses on Islam as a religion, as opposed to the very real threat of extremist, radical Islamists.

Islamisation Program

Geert Wilders Warns Bush
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL: BRUSSELS -- As President George W. Bush wraps up his trip to the Middle East, controversial Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders, a passionate supporter of Bush and the U.S. war on terrorism, called on him to drop his "double agenda" in the region by ending support to Islamic states like Saudi Arabia.

Wilders, who briefly achieved global notoriety when he released his anti-Koran film "Fitna" in March, told United Press International that the United States should not overlook Saudi Arabia's flagrant bad governance and human-rights abuses.

"American relations with Saudi Arabia should be revised," he said, adding that Saudi Arabia's status as a major oil producer should not mean that its track record ought to be overlooked. "Saudi Arabia is no good and won't be for the foreseeable future," he said.

"I think supporting Saudi Arabia is a bad policy and shows a double agenda," said Wilders. But he demurred at the suggestion of sanctions or military action -- "it's not like they should invade tomorrow" -- suggesting only that the desert kingdom be subject to the same standards as other U.S. allies like Israel.

The parliamentarian recently returned from a trip to the United States and said he was surprised to find his anti-Islam agenda had so much resonance there.

Wilders heads a small anti-immigration party in the Dutch Parliament and lives under 24-hour police protection because of death threats resulting from his public comments about Islam and the Koran, which he has compared to Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" and says should be banned in the Netherlands.

Echoing the comments of some U.S. neoconservatives, Wilders has said he regards the spread of radical Islam as the next great challenge to the West, after fascism and communism.

"I think Islamization presents a threat to the public safety of the entire West, including the United States," he told UPI. "Direct and indirect dangers are present in (Muslim) politics and culture."

He said the shared enemy demanded closer trans-Atlantic ties. Dutch Critic of Islam Warns Bush >>> By Leander Schaerlaeckens | May 19, 2008

The Dawning of a New Dark Age (Paperback – USA)
The Dawning of a New Dark Age (Hardcover – USA)

Where the True Chaos Lies!
So now we have it on good authority: Osama bin Laden and his ilk want to turn the West away from its civilized past and wants the United States to convert to Islam, ditch its constitution, abolish banks, jail homosexuals and sign the Kyoto climate change treaty. (Source: Daily Telegraph, November 17, 2005). As if we didn't know it all before - though many, many people are still in denial about it - it has now all come out in a book : Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama bin Laden.

Osama bin Laden wants the United States to convert to Islam, ditch its constitution, abolish banks, jail homosexuals and sign the Kyoto climate change treaty...His terms for America's surrender appeared after the September 2001 suicide attacks and include demands that amount to the abandonment of much of western life.

Alcohol and gambling would be barred and there would be an end to women's photos in newspapers or advertising.

Any woman serving "passengers, visitors and strangers", presumably anyone from air stewardesses to waitresses, would also be out of a job.

The West must "stop your oppression, lies, immorality and debauchery that has spread among you" and has become the "worst civilisation witnessed in the history of mankind". (Source: Daily Telegraph: November 17, 2005)

Let no-one be in any doubt about the intentions of Islam any longer. I feel vindicated, since if this happens the world really will be turned into darkness. The lights will go out; and benightedness will rule the world!

Robert Spencer, Trifkovic, Ibn Warraq, Hugh Fitzgerald, Bostom, et al are all vindicated, too. What we have all been saying can now be seen to be true. We do not exaggerate.

Now before we go any further, do not make the mistake of trying to separate the words of OBL from the words of the so-called dissembling moderates: There is only ONE Islam, and this is the Islam which Osama bin Laden is espousing. To believe otherwise is to live in ignorance; to act as though these words are just the rantings of a maniac, as our leaders are inclined to do, is the height of irresponsibility and negligence towards the future and security of the western electorate.

The West, as OBL rightly implies, is in a battle to the death: Folks, it's either theirs, or ours! It's as simple as that!

Osama bin Laden says: The West must "stop your [its] oppression, lies, immorality and debauchery that has spread among you [us]"..."[the West is the] worst civilisation witnessed in the history of mankind".

Really Osama, really! Let's look a little closer at these words, for they are truly interesting.

As I have told you before, Muslims - not just OBL - believe that we are living in a state of Jahiliyyah, a state of moral chaos. Far be it from me to state that the West doesn't have its fair share of immorality: it is everywhere around us, for all to observe. However, you shouldn't be too smug Osama, because I can tell you, from first-hand experience, that the Islamic Middle East, the birthplace of Islam, suffers just as much as we do from immorality, and probably even more! The difference between us is this: the Western world admits to it, and is open; the Islamic world does not, and is closed. In the Gulf, for example, immorality is swept under the carpet, for it to be hidden from view! Drug-taking, prostitution, homosexuality, alcoholism are all endemic in the Middle East, and largely because of the constraints of Islam! It's all part of the 'forbidden fruits syndrome'!

Go and live in the Middle East for a while, and observe for yourself the high incidence of men seducing men! If you are attractive, you had better wear a burkah, too, since young, frisky Middle Easterners have nobody to turn to to vent their highly-charged emotions, except for the attractive, handsome foreigners employed there!

Islam imposes enormous restrictions on their young men, since they cannot live a normal life. What do you think a young, maturing man does when faced with a situation in which he is denied all access to young, beautiful women?

As a result of these restrictions, they also turn to prostitutes, and probably in far greater numbers than their Western counterparts, since in the West, most people do not have to do this if they wish to satisfy their natural sexual desires. Take Iran as a case in point: That country has enormous problems with prostitution. What else can we really expect when people are so constrained?

Then we have the problem of drug-taking. Many young people are forced to turn to drugs because they cannot find another way of pursuing pleasure. After all, Islam denies them all normal pleasures. Do you really think that all people wish to turn to Allah in prayer five times a day? Is this the kind of life that God really wants for His people? Is there really nothing else in life than talking about religion, praying to Allah, and thinking about Him, and observing all those rituals? Do you really think you are going to be damned to eternal damnation for missing some prayers?

Let's take alcoholism as another of their endemic problems. This is a huge problem in the region. They just don't tell you about it. But I can tell you that there is a very big black market in the Middle East for alcohol, especially whisky. Johnny Walker Black Label is a particular favourite of theirs! At the time I lived there, it sold for £75 a bottle on the black market! It is probably far more expensive these days.

For those who couldn't source it, or for those who couldn't afford it, they would turn to the home-stilled stuff: Siddiqi, 'my friend'! That stuff, unless properly made and sourced, could turn you blind, for alcohol comes in two sorts: ethanol and methanol. People, there, have to be very careful.

You see, people are, in many ways, the same the world over: We all need our kicks from time to time; otherwise life becomes unbearable for us. Muslims are no different. Islam may be all right for the devout; but we cannot all be that devout; indeed, some people don't even wish to be!

I dare say that if the people of the Middle East were freed up, you would find that the problems of homosexuality, prostitution, drug-taking, and alcoholism would be fewer for the authorities to deal with. People, then, would be free to pursue their pleasures in more normal ways.

As for the West stopping its oppression..that's a joke, Osama! How hypocritical can you be? Who oppresses people more than the Saudi government, or any other Islamic governments for that matter? Women, as we all know, are not free, homosexuals, if caught, are punished severely - the official punishment in Islam is to throw the homosexual off the top of the local minaret! - alcoholics, and even those just imbibing a little, if caught, are punished by the whip. Oh, Osama, and don't talk to me about the debauchery of the West. You have enough debauchery where you live. As the saying goes: Get your own house in order first, before you come preaching to us about our lack of morality. That should keep you busy for a long time to come!

We don't want your beloved Islam to take over here in the West: We have a more civilized world as it is. Sure, it could be better; but then life isn't perfect. After all is said and done, we don't stone women to death by burying them up to the shoulders in sand, and then letting the mob start the lapidation! We don't behead people in the public square in barabraic fashion! We don't subject people to lashings for imbibing in a drop of alcohol! And we don't kill and maim people either, for having beliefs which we do not subscribe to.

The true chaos is not actually here in the West, but there, in the Islamic world. Now let's determine to keep it there. Before the world is thrust into a new dark age!

Further, you say that the West is the "worst civilisation witnessed in the history of mankind". Really, Osama! When the Islamic world has achieved in science, the arts, literature, music, educational standards, liberty, and living standards previously unheard of in the history of the world, then come back and speak to us. Till then, get working! You have a mountain of work before you!
