Gijs de Vries
No doubt the mujahedin are quaking with fear today. From EUbusiness.com:
Former Dutch deputy interior minister Gijs de Vries is in line to be appointed the European Union's new anti-terrorism coordinator at an EU summit this week, officials said Wednesday.EU foreign affairs chief Javier Solana will nominate de Vries when EU leaders decide Thursday evening whether to press ahead with the new job, which was proposed after the March 11 attacks in Madrid, sources said.
The post of anti-terrorism coordinator was proposed by EU interior ministers last week to oversee the disparate fields involved in the fight against extremism.
De Vries, 47, is the only name in the frame so far, the sources said.
He was deputy interior minister of the Netherlands between 1998 and 2002. He sat on a convention that drafted the EU's first constitution, another major issue to be tackled by the heads of government Thursday.
De Vries' new post, of course, has been dubbed "Mr. Terrorism" by EU officials.

"The post of anti-terrorism coordinator was proposed by EU interior ministers LAST WEEK.."
Right on top of things, as usual, eh? I feel much safer already. Oh wait, I forgot, Europe is still borderless and has no control checks for EU passport holders.
(caps mine. Mr. Spencer, maybe Charles can include some bold or italics html tags in comments, so we don't have to shout?)
Dear Zork,
Charles clued me in. I don't know if this will work, but we shall see. What do you think?

Why am I thinking of an old episode of Mayberry where Barney Fife was left in charge of the town?
In all fairness to the man, I am sure he means well and in fact I am sure most European Intelligence Services mean well. In fact, many European Intelleigence Services are some of the world's best. I guess I am most troubled by the public opinion in much of Europe that creates the Zapatero's of Spain.
Much of Europe reminds me of an ostrich sticking it's head in the sand until trouble goes away. Unfortunately, this trouble won't go away of its own accord. I hope Mr Terrorism understands this.
Well, the appointment could have been worse. It's just another freaking title bestowed upon just another freaking politician. I'm sure a Terrorists Bill of Rights will be drafted here shortly.
Posted by: wendy at March 26, 2004 2:00 PMThank you Mr. Spencer! :-)
Just found out about you,( thanks to Fox ) chanel ,I am reading it all hoping I could do something to help the cause .
I am 67 years old and remember well the domination of the ennemis during the occupation of the country where I was borned .This war however will last a long time and will be very brutal in all our minds .I will promote your program to all my friends, the world has to know whats going on and you clearly give it to us, Thank you Mr Spencer ,

An article reporting on Mr. Devries written by Anthony Hague who is a AP Writer: States that the dutchman is a surprising choice given that he has no experience in intelligence, and limited political experience from one of Europe`s smallest countries. Nonetheless, analysts and colleagues say his intellect ,political savvy and dry,business like approach could be the qualities needed to stitch together Europe`s disjointed efforts to fight terrorism. His task is formidable, a mandate requiring a skilled bureacrat rather than a tough lawman. He will be responsible for shepherding anti-terrorist legislation through the parliaments of Europe`s 15 --soon to be 25-- countries, and for coordinating the region`s disparate law enforcement and intellegence agencies. The problem he will face is a political bureaucratic one said terrorism specialist Edwin Bakker from the Hague. It is to find common ground between more than 100 security, police and intelligence organizations across Europe." He himself won`t have too deal with terrorism" . He is unlikely to overshaow Javier Solana, the EU foreign secretary to whom he will be reporting. Gijs De Vries is seen in EU corridors as a man with ample European experience. He was president of the liberal party in the European parliament for 5 years and the Netherlands` representative on the 105-member European convention that authored a draft of an EU constitution in 2002 and 2003. His mild rational character could work in his favor, said a fellow party member Hans van Baalen, a member of the Dutch Parliament from the same liberal party, Van Baalen also said he had always been impressed with De vries ability to analyze a situation and make decisions. De vries was born in New York and holds a joint U.S.- Dutch citizenship. He is fluent in English,French,German and Dutch. A professor of political science from 1981-84, he spent more than 14 years in the European Parliament. He also chaired the Atlantic Commision from 1991 to 1997 and his familiarity with the United States and NATO military alliance will be helpful. The closest De Vries ever got to his forthcoming job was during his term as the Dutch deputy internal minister from 1998-2002, when he was responsible for national disaster response.
Posted by: Mackie at March 26, 2004 4:19 PMWell, it's a beginning. Although Europeans have lived with terrorism for years, apparantly terrorism didn't hit them where they lived, down deep in their psyche until the train in Spain was bombed. No other bombing was important to them, not even the Twin Towers as evidenced by their subsequent dismissal of American fears of paranoia.
Now that their ox has been gored, they really share in the grief and pain. Before theirs was only an intellectual understanding; now it's visceral, emotional, and unreasoned.
Mr. Terrorism seems to be a typical European bureaucrat that will send out warrants hoping that the judicial system and the rule of law will be sufficient to deal with the thugs and murders sent out to enforce the will of their terror masters. Maybe they will now understand the need for a Guantanamo and secret inditments, and all the other tools that we have employed. A few more bombs might be all it takes to convince them.
Posted by: epg at March 26, 2004 4:22 PMSince I just got kicked out of middleeastinfo.net like all other Nazi sites, I wonder whether this looser will ban every Muslim who comments bad on his posts.
There is not gonna be many left for you to worship a Jewish man with you and your KKK friends is it?
Is all out warfare; eye for eye!
Posted by: Hood Jihadi at March 26, 2004 4:32 PMMy dear Hood,
You mean this "looser"? Me?
The word you are searching for, by the way, is "loser."
In any case, look around. You will find many Muslims who have commented here. Have at it, sir. Your posts will not be deleted unless they are slanderous, abusive, profane, or the like. And that is only if I notice. Nuttiness and absurdity will not get you deleted. So enjoy!
Cordially
RS
Jihadi hood..you are too dam funny to kick!!
roflmao
In point of fact, the European Union did announce the creation of EU-wide arrest warrants right after 9-11 to avoid lenghty extradition proceedings for detained terrorist suspects. But so far the parliament`s of 5 EU countries have failed to enact the required legislation. There is that bog of bureacratic tape that hopefully Mr.De vries may be able to cut and unite under one umbrella of solidarity against terrorism , as was just pointed out in the awakening of the consequences of the Madrid train bombings.
Posted by: Mackie at March 26, 2004 4:48 PMby the way ,jihadi hood..i seem to recall that much of the muslim/arab world supported the Nazis
in ww2
Dear "hood Jihadi"
In reference to your comment:
"There is not gonna be many left for you to worship a Jewish man with you and your KKK friends is it?"
Forgive me if I've got you wrong here, but are you saying:
"theres not going to be many christians left to worship Jesus" ??
If that is what you're saying I would like to take the honour of being first to inform you, you are SERIOUSLY mistaken.
Jesus made it quite clear;
"I will build my Church,and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" matthew 16:18
We've been fed to lions, we've been burned at the stake, we've been beheaded, made destitute, we've been stoned, we've been crucified, AND WE'RE STILL HERE!!! and by the grace of God growing stronger! take a look here at whats happening in Nigeria:
http://www.cfan.org/
Can you hear that beautiful sound, hood??
Do you see those pictures??
Hardly the whimpering sound of the last few dozen Christians remaining on earth is it??
I'll leave you with that quote one more time, from the Word of God Himself;
""I will build my Church,and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" matthew 16:18
With great regards,
KC.
Thanks for being a champion of free speech! I am sure the civil rights movement (the ones not molested by people I know of) have probably your helpful number by now.
Oh yes, people who comment about other peoples spelling. They often suffer from lack of confidence that may have had something to do with the reasons you have decided to play with fire now.
Posted by: Hood Jihadi at March 26, 2004 4:57 PMDon't worry KC; I was educated with all the benefits of a lucky infidel country (UK). I do appreciate a lot to the system and those who made it possible - it was not GOD.
Posted by: Hood Jihadi at March 26, 2004 5:12 PMDear Hood
(What on earth were you on about in your last post??)
I'm sorry hood, but my link didnt seem to work in my previous post, so here it is again;
www.cfan.org
And I ask you again,
Can you hear that beaatiful sound??
Do you see those pictures??
Hardly the whimpering sound of the last few dozen Christians remaining on earth is it??
regards,
kc.
Maybe next time a photo of Mr. Terrorism is released with a news story, they might skip the "actors" head shot and move on to something a little more sinister. maybe someone should tell him to grow a ghouti or something. Although, the big bald spot might not be helping....
Posted by: Avatar at March 26, 2004 6:37 PMHey folks, do we have another one of Allah's superheros in our midst? In this corner- Hood Jihadi.....Sounds like a pro wrestler to me...Hey Hoodie, would you like to go a couple rounds with me..?
I think I can take you best two out of three falls.
Posted by: D.C. Watson at March 26, 2004 7:31 PMHoodie, are you cellmates with Amir?
Posted by: D.C. Watson at March 26, 2004 7:36 PMHey, Hoody: How come Israel with five million people kicked the crap out of Arabs (four times)who number over 100 million? How come, if your god is god, Arab/Moslem countries are third-world toilets and Israel is a high-tech leader? Face it, Hoody, Islam is a crutch for weak minded fools unable to deal with reality. It is the most dangerous and damaging drug.
Well not just fools, but also those who were damaged in childhood by the extremely messed up parents. All that anger, Hoody, is about issues you have with your authoritarian and abusive father. As Hannah Arendt has pointed out, Hitler was also raised in an abusive household. He externalized his self-loathing and hate and redirected it at the Jews. Does this discribe anyone we know? It's OK, you can cry. Let out that abused little boy. You'll feel better and be a better person for it.
Posted by: Infidel at March 27, 2004 12:04 AM"Muhammad was an abused little boy too"
So was "Jesus", with a mother branded a hoe and other worse things by Mr Spencer's tribe.
Posted by: Hood Jihadi at March 27, 2004 7:24 AMMy dear Hood,
Sorry to disappoint you re my "tribe," but I am not Jewish. Please be aware that there is a growing coalition of non-Muslims of all kinds — Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, unbelievers, etc. — who are determined to resist jihad.
Cordially,
RS
I really find this difficult to believe as your looks are similar to that other anti-Muslim called Horowitz. Even your nose gives your profile away.
I know there are many anti-Muslim Christians in the more lucrative business of Evangelism, but when you check their family history. They always turn out to be from the "chosen tribe". Others often suffer from other unkown deseases that just make them nasty people.
Congratulations to you sir, Googling "Jihad" shows your Zionist disinformation centre second from top. I hope you earn a good living from your next book sales so you can retire in a penthouse instead of struggling.
Posted by: Hood Jihadi at March 27, 2004 8:52 AM"..but when you check their family history. They always turn out to be from the "chosen tribe".
Oh no! Not the cryptojews! AHHHH! Run and hide, everyone!!!
"Even your nose gives your profile away."
Wow! Another dynamic advancement in Muslim science! Finally, we can predict people's religion based on the size of their nose!
Mr. Hood Jihadi would be comical if this wasn't such a serious subject. He knows well my response to him as i sent him a private post. By attacking Robert in that manner he has EXPOSED himself to be a religious bigot and a racist, the very names he calls us. I, for one, am not surprised.
You are welcome to post on this site. We are ready for you, Mr. Hood.
Posted by: epg at March 27, 2004 11:53 AMHood Jihadi: "Muhammad was an abused little boy too"
So I suppose this is what justifies his raping and murdering?
Hoodie, excuse me but......you're an ass.
And did U use the term: hoe? Let me guess, you a wannabee "thug" are ya?
Why would you be making comments about Robert's nose and profile? Is this how you judge people?
Look jackass, before you go throwin' stones little man, you should realize you're standing in a glass hut.
Woman hating, Jew hating, world hating racist bigot. Jihad is goin' down for the count...bank on it beeotch.
Thuganomics lesson 101.

Posted by: D.C. Watson at March 27, 2004 12:30 PMepg,
You're right, this is a serious subject. Perhaps I shouldn't make fun of Mr. 2pac.shakur, but his statements are so ludicrous, they do not merit a serious response.
He does not want to participate in a serious debate, he instead prefers to preoccupy himself with Mr. Spencer's nose.
(And a very handsome nose it is, Mr. Spencer ;-)
Posted by: zorkmidden at March 27, 2004 12:44 PMMaybe I was wrong, Hoody. Maybe you weren't abused by your father, because you never had one. And now with your silly uberpunk manner, you must overcompensate. Trying to be what you think a man is since you never had a father to teach you. You are a sad case and transparent. Get help, while there is still time.
Posted by: Infidel at March 27, 2004 12:56 PMHood Jihadi, so you think you can tell someone's lineage by the shape of their nose and other physical characteristics? I thought you claimed to be an educated man? Have you looked at a picture of the schnoz on Bin Laden's face lately? I think the reason a lot of Muslims grow beards and wear the burkas is to try and hide their "Jewish" noses. After all, two of Mohammed's wives were Jewesses. BTW, have you looked in the mirror lately?
Posted by: Hal at March 28, 2004 3:32 PMHood Jihadi
You exposed yourself as both a racist and a religious bigot by your attack on Robert. We're on to you. Shame on you.
Posted by: epg at March 28, 2004 5:28 PMCould you please send me the e-mail adress of Mr.Gijs de Vries.
It is important.
Thank you
