Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Hugh Fitzgerald: Those Muslim “Refugees”

Nov 23, 2015 9:29 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

syria-refugees

The murders in Paris on November 13 did not halt the invasion of Europe by the forces of Islam. Muslim masses are still on the march toward Europe, by the hundreds of thousands this year alone, joining the tens of millions of Muslims already in Europe who came during the last few decades. These Muslims arrive as “refugees” claiming a “right of asylum.” They claim this right because they are fleeing something. What is that something? It’s the chaos and cruelty, the internecine violence, of Muslim peoples and polities. Many Muslims would like to flee these places. Were they able to make the connection between the chaos and cruelty and Islam itself, that would be one thing. But they do not make that connection. They do not flee from Islam itself, but bring it with them in their mental baggage.

Some of those “Muslim refugees” take Islam very much to heart, others perhaps not quite as much. But many non-Muslims to whom we look for guidance — writers for The Guardian, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Hillary Clinton – are quite definite in their dismissal: they continue to assure us that “the attacks in Paris had nothing to do with Islam.” What you think of that assertion? What texts were in the minds of those killers in Paris? What models of conduct did they have in mind? When someone tells you that Muslims in the Islamic State, or Al Qaeda, or just plain-vanilla Muslims, when they carefully quote the Qur’an, or adduce a hundred Hadith, to explain and justify their behavior, don’t you worry a little bit about their grasp of Islam? Don’t you wonder why they continue to hold up for inspection and discussion such prompters of hostility and hate toward non-Muslims as Qur’an 9.5 and 9.29, among more than one hundred “Jihad verses,” and in addition to the Qur’anic passages, many hundreds of “authentic” Hadith from authoritative (sahih) collections, especially those by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, offering the words and deeds of Muhammad himself, so full of malevolence toward Infidels?

Is the desire to flee violence enough to earn, for Muslims, both Sunni and Shi’a, right of entry into non-Muslim lands, into the heart of the civilization of the West? Are we not a little too quick with our compassion, a little too willing to welcome, a little too incurious about the ideology of Islam? Millions of Muslim refugees have fled Iraq and Syria for such neighboring Muslim countries as Jordan and Turkey. Do they not have such places still available to them? And are there not vast areas in many other Muslim countries where they ought reasonably to find or expect refuge? Why must the Infidels of Germany, or Sweden, or France be expected to admit them into their Infidel midst? Why must they go to Germany, or Sweden, or Norway? For Shi’a, there are still plenty of places – Iran or Hezbollah-controlled parts of Lebanon, to start with, and still much of Syria, and Baghdad, and southern Iraq – where Shi’a are in control and where other Shi’a could find security. And Sunni Arabs who want to flee the violence of Iraq and Syria have Turkey and Jordan, to which so many have already fled, and instead of being made Europe’s responsibility, the refugees could be asked to knock on the doors of Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, all of which have need of foreign workers, and none of which have to date taken in more than a handful of those Muslim refugees who might serve as those workers.

Why don’t we ask the obvious question: why do 800,000 Muslims seek refuge just in Germany alone this year, and none of those 800,000 seek refuge closer to home? Why aren’t those Muslim refugees requesting admission to Kuwait, Qatar, the Emirates, Saudi Arabia? And why aren’t Kuwait, Qatar, the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, requesting those Muslim refugees to come on in, because they are needed?

Remember: Muslims are taught – all Muslims, not just members of the Islamic State or Al Qaeda – that they have a duty to conduct the struggle, or Jihad, to remove all obstacles to the spread and then the dominance of Islam, so that ultimately, all over the world, Islam will dominate and Muslims rule. Now given that, why should any non-Muslims anywhere make that Jihad easier? Or why should Europeans pretend that that solemn duty of Jihad is an islamophobic figment, or try to convince themselves that thoroughly modern Muslims don’t take that duty to heart? This is a policy that could please only a Pollyanna – or a Hillary Clinton.

Now there is a category of people fleeing Syria and Iraq who, unlike Muslims, really are without any place of refuge in the Middle East (save, of course, for these people possibly settling in the “West Bank” in an an exchange of populations, where they would be traded for Muslim “Palestinians”). We call these people “Christians.” Assyrians and Chaldeans in Iraq, Catholics and Orthodox and Armenians in Syria, Copts in Egypt – these people, to varying degrees, and at various times (sometimes more, sometimes less) have suffered the same fate at the hands of Muslims: attacks on their churches, disruption of their ceremonies, kidnapping and forced conversion and rape and enslavement of their women, murder of their menfolk. But the Muslims who seek to enter Europe neither need nor deserve that refuge, for there are vast areas of the Muslim world that could be open to them.

These Muslim “refugees” are obviously interested in more than just a refuge. They are keenly interested in the amount of support they will be able to receive. If refuge from Middle Eastern violence were all they wanted, it would be enough for them to land in Greece, or Spain, or Italy. But once they land on Lampedusa (in Italy), or Greece, they keep trying to get to the generous countries of the north, to Germany, to the Netherlands, to the United Kingdom, to the Scandinavian lands – that is, where the housing subsidies, the free or highly subsidized medical care and education, the family allowances are at their highest. Desperate refugees — people fleeing Nazis, or Communists — ordinarily do not worry about where the benefits will be best.

And then there is the matter of how these “refugees” behave in their host countries. Do they shed, like a snakeskin, the ideology of Islam? Do they participate wholeheartedly (or at least, as much as they can before becoming citizens) in their host societies, or do they segregate themselves, refusing to embrace the laws and customs of these Infidel societies? Do they accept, for example, full equality of the sexes? The right to criticize Islam as to criticize all other faiths? Do they accept the notion that a democratic government derives its legitimacy from the will of the people expressed through the vote, while in Islam any government has legitimacy to the extent that it reflects the will expressed by Allah in the Qur’an? And in what European country has the large-scale presence of Muslims not created, for the indigenous Infidels, a situation that is more unpleasant, more expensive, and more physically dangerous than would be the case without that large-scale presence?

That word “refugee” waved about by Muslims and their apologists puts Western politicians on the defensive. They find it difficult to properly protect their own indigenous non-Muslim populations, the very people they have a duty to protect, by doing the obvious: cutting off that Muslim immigration. Western governments claim to subject these “refugees” to rigorous controls. How do you think that “rigorous” vetting has worked out so far?

We’ve now had a few decades of experience with a large population of Muslim migrants in Europe. And what have been the observable results? Tens of millions of Muslims, with rates of criminal activity and unemployment and incarceration, and birth rates many times higher than that of either the native non-Muslims or of other, but non-Muslim, immigrants. Muslims who, when they are asked, say that yes, they would like Sharia to be implemented. Where is a single success story, from the viewpoint of sensible Infidels, of Muslim migration? Where is the land in which the Muslim immigrants have successfully been integrated, have even enriched, in any sense, the lives of the non-Muslims into whose lands they have settled?

Suppose that in the wake of the Parisian horrors, European governments do start to come to their senses, do make resolutions about strict limits on Muslim migrants, do look as if they mean it. If you look back at all the noises made after the Charlie Hebdo massacre, you find that a few months later it had all come undone. When it comes to Western governments dealing with Muslim migrants, Proust’s witticism has held firm: “All our final resolutions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last.” But if they do mean to do things right this time, one place to start would be by ceasing to accommodate Muslim demands for special treatment, for special prayer rooms and time-outs for such prayer, in factories or offices or schools, for Muslim-women-only hours at municipal pools. In other words, end any special arrangements for Muslims.

Should we be gladdened that Western governments will now be more careful, and from now on will be sure to admit only the “moderate” Muslims, keeping out the “Jihadists”? Do those distinctions convince you? Are you convinced that there is some way to truly identify the “moderates”? Aren’t the “moderates” the ones we all know are moderate because, you see, they tell us they are? But isn’t it possible that some of those Muslims might be practicing taqiyya, in order to gain entry to a Western country? I am waiting for someone to tell us how the winnowing of the “moderate” Muslim – that is, the unobservant or Muslim-for-identification-purposes-only Muslim – from the real thing is to proceed. Do we not have examples – even among the eight Muslim terrorists who were killed the other day in Paris – of hard-partying Muslims who gave every sign of wanting to participate in Western decadence right up to the moment when they decided they didn’t, and sought to make up for their previous bad behavior by mass-murdering Infidels? How, in any case, can Western governments determine who is a real, and who a false moderate? How can the content of a particular Believer’s belief be judged? Is the record of the Western security services good enough to convince you that the threat from Muslims, whether born and bred in the West, or arriving as “refugees” whom we apparently have a duty to admit, will surely be detected in time? Do you worry about Muslims in the West, that is the five million or ten million who within a generation will inexorably double or triple?

The Muslims keep coming, from Syria and from Iraq mainly, but also from other Muslim lands, all the way to Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and a few dozen more. Right now all kinds of noises are being made about clamping down; let’s see if that can happen. Let’s see if, even if it happens, that turns out not to be enough for stopping the increase in Muslim numbers. Those Muslim migrants, after all, are fleeing violence and misrule that is endemic to Muslim societies. They make their way by land through Turkey; they arrive by sea, across the Mediterranean. They settle in cities, they settle in small towns. Why, just the other week 100 inhabitants of a German hamlet were told by their government that they were to welcome into their midst 700 Muslims, refugees, “Syrians.” For how long are such guests to be endured? If comparative quiet were to return to Syria, or Iraq, would migrants from those countries be required to return home?

What is a country? Is it merely a land area, unconnected to a particular civilization or people? Is there still a “Western civilization” that deserves to be preserved? Do Germans, or Swedes, or French, or any other Europeans, have a duty to admit Muslims? Are countries all over the world to be open to whoever manages to smuggle himself in? Can we who are non-Muslims decide whom we wish to admit, and in making that decision, take into account 1350 years of Islamic history, which history was made over a vast land area, from the Iberian Peninsula to the East Indies?

Should an Infidel, having learned something of what the texts of Islam contain, and learned, too, something of the history of Islamic conquest, and having had sufficient time to observe the effect of a growing Muslim population in his own country, be expected not to be alarmed? What has that large-scale presence of Islam meant to him and his fellow Infidels, in his own city, or village?

And do you think those who worry about the Muslim presence can still be dismissed as “far-right”? What exactly makes them “far-right”? Other than being unafraid to discuss Islam and Muslim behavior, what has earned Geert Wilders the description of being “far-right”? Wilders demands higher social spending, especially on the Dutch elderly (who have seen their financial support limited because of the amounts spent on Muslim immigrants) – does that make him “far-right”?

That epithet is useful for one thing: it’s a way of making sure that Wilders need not even be debated, but can simply be dismissed. Repeat that epithet “far-right” endlessly in the press, on radio and television, and for many people, that is the end of the matter. No further discussion necessary. The People’s Party in Norway that opposes Muslim immigration? Call it “far-right.” The Freedom Party in the Netherlands? “Far-right.” Paul Weston’s Liberty Party in the United Kingdom? “Far-right.” Presumably “far-right” too, are all those defectors from the Army of Islam, such as the articulate Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Wafa Sultan, Ibn Warraq. Wave that epithet about. It’s a magic wand.

Particularly infuriating has been the attempt by Muslims and apologists for Islam to label the many Germans now mobilizing and marching against Muslim immigration as “neo-Nazi.” What makes a member of Pegida, disturbed at the Muslim flood, and watching as, in Thilo Sarrazin’s memorable phrase, “Germany undoes itself,” a “neo-Nazi”? The Nazi past haunts all political discussion in Germany, but “neo-Nazi” is not an epithet to be flung about. When Angela Merkel initially insisted that Germans should be prepared to welcome many hundreds of thousands of Muslims into their midst, it was clear that this reflected nothing more than her understandable hypersensitivity about the treatment of minorities, given what Germans had done to the Jews not so long ago. But was the way to make amends for murdering Europe’s Jews really admitting Muslims into Europe, given that the chief carriers of antisemitism in the world today are Muslims? It is in their texts that Jews are depicted as the chiefest enemies of Islam, descendants of “apes and pigs.” Because Germans murdered the Jews of Europe under Hitler, are they now to make amends by admitting Muslims into Germany, and thereby to swell the ranks of antisemites in the new Germany? If you worry about the future of Jews in Europe, and whether they have a future, you have to worry not about admitting, but about keeping out, Muslim “refugees.”

No one at this point need allow himself to be bullied into silence by fear of being called “far-right” or “neo-Nazi.” And if a German, or any European, wants to make life possible for Jews in Europe, the best way to do so is to minimize the Muslim presence.

That’s not all that needs to be said about Muslim “refugees.” There’s a lot more that one could say. But that’s enough for now.

    If the author reads comments here at JW, let me speak for many readers of Robert’s blog to send our deepest gratitude for the perspective in this and previous items, wisdeom manifested after a person has lived on this amazing but plagued planet for more than three or four decades.

    Yesterday’s long essay, “Douce France” is an example of how the small movements of history — too miniscule for notice as each one occurs — gradually cement themselves into a whole that can be grasped in the hand of analysis..

    “We’ve now had a few decades of experience with a large population of Muslim migrants in Europe.”

    Check out the area around Dearborne, Michigan or Minneapolis/St Paul. And there are MANY other muslim enclaves (Tennessee, LA County. even Portland, Oregon) dotting the entire USA.

    My comment may not be fair; the above article obviously intends to address the “refugee” situation in Europe. But still…it occurs to me we are not far behind.

    Cheers!

      Raven: Your comment is fair AND this is an excellent article. Most media/pols who do pay (scant) attention seem concerned only with the coming “Syrian Refugees” or IS. We have trouble enough among our current muslim populations, which are neither of those. Those jihadis among the “refugees” will find enough well-established company of the same mind to welcome them into those enclaves.
      It is an obvious point among JW readers, etc., but so many won’t see, call ‘PHOBIA’, or think they can get away with remarks such as the mouth diarrhea Madame Clinton spewed last week in front of CAIR.

        Thanks, Shmoovi – I was abashed after posting that comment without having read the whole article, which was in fact really brill. I did return to finish it after injudiciously shooting off that comment.

        Two additional annoying muslim invader items I just heard on Fox radio news today:

        1. Border patrols in Texas have reported 8 Syrian “refugees” with fake passports crossing illegally into Texas in recent weeks.

        AND…wait for it…

        2. Texas Clock-that-looks-exactly-like-a-suitcase-bomb Boy, that little shit, is suing the town and the school board for $15 million for his pain and suffering. I guess all that fawning over him by Steve Jobs and countless others, as well as praise and laudits from MIT and a visit to the White House to celebrate this turd’s “brilliant science project” wasn’t enough for little Ahmed…although in the pix I saw of him at the WH, he was grinning from ear to ear…triumphantly, I thought. Gotta say THAT was a good plan, well-executed, non? I’m sure I needn’t point out to you or any JW reader that any settlement of this civil suit will come out of OUR pockets – it’s all taxpayer money.

        One day, I’ll grit my teeth so hard, they’;ll break.

          Quotha, Clock boy’s family *has* decamped for Qatar.

          They are suing us from Dar-al-Islam.

          But I would make a prediction–I don’t think Clock Boy and his family are going to get much traction in the Muslim world–especially when it turns out he isn’t the science prodigy he made himself out to be.

          My guess is that they will quietly–or not so quietly, if they can find a way to work it–return to the US not long from now.

    Has WWIII Already Begun?
    One hundred and thirty people (+/-) murdered in Paris, France by Arabs, identifying themselves as ISIS; The murderous attacks against hotel guests in Mali, the Boko Haram attacks against Christian Nigerians, all by Islamic Jihadists fighters, suggests it has started!

    And, what do we hear from our crypto-Islamic President: he “doesn’t want to speculate about who is responsible for these attacks.” He might not want to speculate, but the rest of the world doesn’t have too. We already know. It’s radical Islamic Jihadists! Obama is an indecisive weakling community organizer who has developed the decision making skills of a squirrel crossing a street.

    The ISIS terrorist attack in Paris was a total and complete success! Remember, terrorism is a tool not an idea. We cannot attack terrorism, we must attack and destroy ISIS, over there, not here. However, success breeds repetition and the Mali attack confirms that the successful ISIS Paris attack would soon be repeated. We’ve already experienced 9/11, Ft. Hood, the recruiting office in Arkansas the recruiting offices in Chattanooga, the Boston Marathon bombing and many, many other pinprick attacks, but devastating attacks, ones that sends the message that they really mean business, is coming soon to a mall near you.

    in light of those successful Paris and Mali attacks, the question is, when and where will the next one occur? Will it be another target in Europe? Possibly! Germany hasn’t been inaugurated yet and except for 9/11, and Ft. Hood, all other US attacks were basically minor things accomplished by disaffected individuals apparently recruited on the Internet. I expect the Jihadists recruitment plans will continue, to be easily accompanied by even greater demonstrations of their destructive efficiency, one small target at a time. It will be a competitive goal, this escalation of attacks, to see who is the worst.

    Our best clue for what’s coming is that the Paris and Mali attacks were pre-planned, coordinated and swiftly executed. Apparently, French Intelligence was caught unprepared to anticipate both. I am surprised they were but that tells me the attackers may have been imports, recent Jihadists from Syria perhaps, primed for just that purpose, leaving no digital or internet trails.

    These are all suicide missions. It is within the Islamic character to attack, kill and expect to be killed. That is what makes them successful. It should now be our committed intent, with or without Obama, to help them to visit Allah by killing them first. Let us hope the French may see fit to reintroduce the Guillotine. Apparently there are still a couple of attackers not captured yet.

    Not withstanding Obama’s words to not be hasty in making judgements, yet, here we sit consumed by football, the impossible demands of ignorant liberal college students, the invasion of illegals pouring across our borders and wondering why our military is being diminished by an administration that believes America is the main cause of all the worlds problems.

    Many wonder if we can replace our GOP nincompoops quickly enough to save our country before Obama destroy’s it completely. We wonder why any president would hand over his foreign policy duties to a corrupt, incompetent old woman, succeeded by a traitorous, ignorant former swift boat pilot, and expect them to protect America’s political and economic interests from a world hostile to America?

      If a group declares war on the west, on unbelievers, and the West refuses to acknowledge it, does it still make for a war?

    It is worth the time to view the recent debate, after the Paris attacks, in the Netherlands Paliament on the website of Geert Wilders. http://www.geertwilders.nl

    it is also direct on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qpFQXO4EqM

    The few challengers are very subdued compared to their aggressive attacks on Wilders in the earlier September debate. When Wilders asks where are the mass demonstrations by Muslims against the Paris attack, MP’s pound their table in agreement. The Dutch people are waking up to the fact that the Rutte government is incapable of dealing with Islamic immigration.

    • Jack Diamond says

      Nov 23, 2015 at 1:49 pm

      A very worthwhile and instructive video to watch. Wilders makes our own poor political specimens (leaders) in the U.S. look as feeble as they are.

      Wilders: “The last they (the victims in Paris) heard was the shout of evil, the proud cry of the enemy ‘Allahu Akbar!”…in Paris so many people were brutally robbed of their lives by Muslim terrorists, amongst whom were returning Syria volunteers. According to the media, one of those terrorists entered Europe with the flow of refugees…

      What happened this past weekend in France can happen tomorrow here in The Netherlands.. (our) asylum procedure is one giant piece of swiss cheese… in this year alone nearly 12,000 entered the asylum procedure without valid papers. Incredible! We don’t even know who we allow to enter. We really make it very easy for evildoers or terrorists…(our) borders are wide open. Molebeek, the Gaza Strip of the Benelux, is a mere one hour drive from The Netherlands.

      I said it during the debate we had in this Chamber in January of this year after the cowardly attacks, also in Paris, against Charlie Hebdo, how many attacks must take place, how many innocent victims must fall, before you, Mr. Prime Minister, finally understand it? Of course it is war. It has been war for 1400 years. That war is called jihad. Jihad is the core of Islam, that is not an opinion but a fact… What exactly have you done since the Charlie Hebdo debate in January? 60,000 additional fortune seekers entered our country. An Islamic invasion facilitated by you. Last month alone 12,000 of them.
      According to the EU, next year 3 million will come. Thanks to your open borders, Mr. Rutte. And the Prime Minister does nothing.

      However, I stand here for the security of the Dutch. That’s the only thing that matters. And I say…with the utmost urgency close the borders to returning Syrian volunteers and asylum seekers. That must be done now. Make sure those Syrian volunteers, by my count, 40 at the beginning of the year, who returned to The Netherlands, who you allowed to return, arrest them. Arrest them today. We’ve seen what happens in Paris if we don’t do that. We must prevent the same scenes in The Hague or Amsterdam, which will come if we don’t arrest the enemy. Implement administrative detention so we can preemptively arrest possible terrorists. If this is war, Mr. Rutte, then they are the enemy. We have to lock them up, there is no alternative. If you don’t do that you are not the leader of The Netherlands…and finally, as a closing remark (that) Islam does not belong in The Netherlands. As long as we don’t do anything, the attacks will keep coming.”

      Question period, Mr. Segers:
      Segers: We are facing a great evil, the evil of Jihadism. The question is who are our comrades in arms?…It’s Muslims who are in the front line against Jihadism; it is Kurdish Muslims who are fighting against this evil…a battle against Islam is a battle against all Muslims? Does he (Wilders) want more or fewer opponents?

      Wilders: I have fought for over ten years against Islam. I have never said I fight against Muslims. What nonsense!…we are fighting against Islam, Islam is an evil ideology. Yes, the life of Muhammad is the example of a warlord (an example set for people). Yes, the Koran is a fascistic violent book. Certainly. That is not to say Muslims aren’t the victims of it. That is not to say that we’re fighting against all Muslims. I assure you, when you look at the major attacks in Europe during the last ten years, in Madrid, in Paris, in the Jewish museum in Brussels, in London, our own Theo Van Gogh in Amsterdam, all have in common the violent inspiration of Islam.

      Segers: 9 out of 10 victims of jihadism are Muslims. 9 out of 10 fighters against jihadism are Muslims…we have potential allies. Are those the allies of Mr. Wilders? Muslims who within their faith fight against jihadism?

      Wilders: The more Muslims fighting against it the better. But where are they? ..I’m not talking about the few in Rotterdam last week. I expected that hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Europe would demonstrate. To protest against what happened in Paris. I haven’t seen them. I didn’t see them then and I don’t see them now. So those ‘allies’ of yours are few on the ground.

      Segers: There are Kurds, thousands of Kurds, who fight against IS…do not alienate potential allies.

      Wilders: We must de-Islamize our country. We should get rid of Islam. That is the only solution. Stop appeasing Islam. If we don’t do that we’ll keep the grief and misery of the last decade. We took the Trojan Horse into Europe. We didn’t require them to assimilate. We pampered them wherever possible. We didn’t act against the aggressive elements amongst them which we’ll have to do eventually. We must start by closing the borders, closing our borders to Muslims… I don’t know why you interrupt me with ‘those are our allies’, they aren’t all our enemies but that ideology is deadly dangerous.

      Mr. Kuzu (a Turkish Muslim): In Amsterdam Muslims and Jews protested hand in hand against the filthy attacks in Paris. How can it be that Mr. Wilders added Islam to this? Muslims just happening to believe in Islam shelves the problem, not participating toward a solution.

      Wilders: I’m talking about the evil villainous ideology, not about its adherents. That you don’t differentiate says more about you than about me…there were hardly any demonstrators. A few people at best. There were more reporters, eager to broadcast that three million were gathered there…the reality is I haven’t seen any mass demonstration anywhere in The Netherlands, or in Paris, or elsewhere, where Muslims turn out in large numbers stating ‘this is not my Islam!’. I haven’t seen them. As long as I don’t see them, there is a minority who can do what they do because the majority tolerates it.

      Kuzu: We should together make a fist against terror, a fist against terrorism, Muslim and non-Muslims…Mr. Wilders lives in a phony reality, he is sowing discord. My question is why do you do that constantly?

      Wilders: The reality is that for decades we in Europe have seen attacks everywhere. Of Allahu Akbar shouting people, from Madrid to Amsterdam, from the Jewish museum in Brussels to the subway in London, which took place because we allowed mass migration from Islamic countries. We didn’t do that, other political factions did that. What we also see is that a mass protest never occurs. I tell you, I do not want to sow discord, I want The Netherlands to become a safe country. We have all this misery since we imported Islam. What I say is that we must de-Islamize The Netherlands to make it safer.

      Kuzu: You must differentiate Islamists from non-Islamists…we should stand shoulder to shoulder.. all terror experts agree we have to fight the matrix. The NCTV (Dutch anti-terror organization) states that Mr. Wilders expressions act as a magnet for terror…you are a terror magnet, Mr. Wilders!

      Wilders: Mr. Kuzu called me a tumor, then he called me Hitler. He can call me whatever he wants, I don’t care. I stand here for one thing alone, the security of The Netherlands, and to fight evil. The name of that evil is Islam. I S L A M. Islam.

    This insanity will continue full-on NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. It will continue on until the suicidal leaders behind it are removed from office and sane people are in their place. And it will not stop a moment sooner. When are the elections in Europe? That is the only hope. That or the inevitable civil wars that are being built towards.

    It’s like watching the Nazis come to power through the 1920’s through the early 30’s. There is no mystery about what they are all about, what they stand for, and what the eventual result will be. And they could have been stopped at several points along the way. Just like today’s moslem conquest of Europe. It does not have to happen!

      Here’s the take-home paragraph that needs to be learned by heart, and circulated far and wide. Also, keep it up your sleeve for all conversations touching on the Mohammedan Fifth Column, whether those conversations take place face-to-face, or over the internet, on FB or wherever.

      “And in what European country has the large-scale presence of Muslims not created, for the indigenous Infidels, a situation that is more unpleasant, more expensive, and more physically dangerous than would be the case without that large-scale presence?”

      One can rephrase slightly, as applicable. “And in what Infidel country – whether first-world or third-world – has the large-scale presence of Muslims not created, for the indigenous Infidels, a situation that is more unpleasant, more expensive, and more physically dangerous than would be the case without that large-scale presence?”

      That is the case, for example, in overwhelmingly-Christian and animist Kenya, which now has a huge security headache not only because of Muslim Somalia next door, but even more so because of a menacing Muslim fifth column massively reinforced by a flood of Somali Muslim ‘refugees’ who poured over the border decades ago and squatted on Kenyan territory…and from whose ranks came at least some of the mass-murderers who carried out the allahu-akbaring butchery in the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, and also the butchery of Christian students at the University of Garissa.

      Another wording: “And in what Infidel country has the large-scale presence of Muslims not created, both for the indigenous Infidels and also for Infidel immigrants in that same country, a situation that is more unpleasant, more expensive, and more physically dangerous than would be the case without that large-scale presence?”

      I say “Infidel immigrants’, because in Australia, for example, Muslims have made particular threats against the emigre Coptic churches, which then had to receive special protection from the Australian police; and Muslims (specifically, Turkish Muslims) also kicked up an ugly stink when some Assyrian Christian immigrants, with the blessing of Australian authorities, *dared* to erect a memorial to those of their community who, at the time of the jihad genocide of the Armenians, were also mass-murdered in the homeland. The memorial, in a park in western Sydney, was subsequently vandalised – by Muslims, of course.

    Not one of these people is a refugee.
    Not one.
    Refugees go to the nearest safe country, or to
    the other side of the world to a similar culture.
    Europe is not near Syria etc, but Turkey, Saudi Arabia etc are.
    Culturally Europe has nothing in common with these young
    mohammedan men, cowardly abandoning their own lands to
    occupy ours.
    They are, at best colonists, at worst jihadists.
    They have no place in the West.

    “…one place to start would be by ceasing to accommodate Muslim demands for special treatment, for special prayer rooms and time-outs for such prayer, in factories or offices or schools, for Muslim-women-only hours at municipal pools. In other words, end any special arrangements for Muslims.”

    To confirm that the west is in free gear riding down the hill with driver blindfolded in the face, the above is very true. I have witnessed it first hand in Birmingham, UK. Tax payer funded brand new library of Birmingham has prayer rooms (2 separate- one for women and another for men in the second floor) with washing tabs in them specially designed. Mind you, they changed the names of these rooms from prayer rooms to “contemplation rooms” (only after some non muslim library goers also started to demand the same and equal accommodation) to denote that they are open for all but guess who spends lots if not all of their time during the day in those ‘contemplation rooms’ and sometime if you happen to be nearby that mosque aka contemplation room you may hear call to a prayer being uttered.

      Gather a group of like-minded friends, take a packed lunch of bacon sandwiches, pork pies and beer, and have a picnic in the ‘contemplation room’. Sing a few hymns (‘Onward Christian Soldiers’ is a suitable one, but there are many more). Offer to share your food and drink with any others present. At this time of year a few carols would also be appropriate. In general, make use of those rooms yourself, preferably in overwhelming numbers, and have a really jolly time!

      • wich says

        Nov 23, 2015 at 10:15 pm

        Well, a friend thought of that and tried to use the room for private bible study on Saturdays and Sundays but it proved difficult as the ‘mussies’ would come in almost all the time and you could see from their eyebrows. That room seems was specially allocated for them!! It is shocking! You go to city council funded fitness centers, you have women only wednesdays, meaning men cannot visit the gym on that day!

    i read the article by Hugh Fitzerald yesterday on Douce France, and i find after reading this article on muslim refugees, that the author is extremely articulate,perceptive, and lucid on the subtleties on what the problem really is. By asking the question why? after each gesture and action taken either by muslims themselves, by people in the west, and by the whole world, is exactly what we must do in order to understand how we got into this situation of utter complacence and numbness to the gradual erosion of our freedom and liberties. The best analogy i can find is sitting at a table having supper with a guest who is slowly taking a fork and knife and cutting pieces of flesh from my body to eat and hands some of them for me to eat as well, while i sit there participating in the ritual, doing nothing because it never occurred to me that i could do something about this or that this is not right.

    Greetings, Hugh.

    So glad to see you back on deck here, though of course I have been following your work in another location (and have from time to time directed people there).

    There are many intelligent new posters who have come on board here during the time that you were away (that is, when you were not posting) who will benefit greatly from your insights.

    The world must react with urgency to the threat of Anthropogenic Global Warming/Climate Change/Extreme Weather effects on its future, a century from now, based on something the so called scientific intellectuals proclaim is the “Precautionary Principle.” That is, however remote the possibility or the accuracy of the science and climate models used, the few degrees C increase expected to occur is so dire that corrective actions must be taken, no matter the cost.

    Compare that to the total lack of the most elementary precautions being considered from a threat that is orders of magnitude more dangerous to life and limb, an assessment made on the basis of centuries of historical evidence including up to the present day and ask yourself, does this make any sense, however convoluted the “analysis”? Apparently it does, especially among those generally relied upon to know better, leaving the rest deeply disturbed about the future of civilization as we’ve all come to know, love and perpetually complain about it.

    If the west does not soon get off the climate catastrophe bandwagon and face up to the far more immediate and dangerous threat of the murder, rape, decapitations, defenestrations, immolations, amputations, stonings, honor killings, etc., perpetrated daily in the name of Islam there will be no need for concern for what they predict will happen 100 years from now. The immediate future will be far more horrific and highly probable enough to preclude the need to invoke the “Precautionary Principle.”

    Where are the people among those lurking at this forum who could have a go at translating this essay by Mr Fitzgerald into assorted languages? I am thinking of 1/ French 2/ German (*very* necessary at the moment; strike while the iron is hot) 3/ Italian 4/ Dutch 5/ Danish, Swedish and Norwegian (perhaps Niccolai Sennels or Lars Hedegaard could have a go at putting it into Danish?) 6/ Icelandic (so that a country which at present does NOT have a lot of Muslim colonists, can WAKE UP and *take steps* to prevent its current very small infestation from getting any bigger) 7/ Finnish (they, too, do not currently have a large Muslim colony, and this article would make clear to them exactly why they must act to dislodge the Muslims already present) 8/ Spanish (for the benefit not only of Spain, but of the *whole* of Spanish-speaking Latin America and Mesoamerica) and 9/ Portuguese (with Brazil in mind, more than Portugal; this is called ‘heading things off at the pass).

    A Japanese translation wouldn’t be a bad idea; and Korean and a couple of the main Chinese dialects used in Taiwan; because those countries are only just slightly infiltrated by Muslims. Let Japan, South Korea and Taiwan know *exactly* why they must not at all costs permit any more Muslims to enter their country and why it would be a damn good idea to turf out those who are already present.

    Are there any translators in the house???

    Even though many of the educated in the countries I have mentioned are either fluent in English or have some competency, many do not; the message needs to reach as many as possible; and even if you do know English as a second language, things always sink in better if they are in your mother tongue.
