He will, of course, be excoriated as a racist, bigoted Islamophobe, but what exactly did he say that was factually false?
“‘It’s practically impossible to integrate Muslims into Western Europe,’ says Czech president as he blames Islamic culture for Cologne sex attacks,” by Sara Malm, MailOnline, January 17, 2016 (thanks to Mick):
The president of the Czech Republic has claimed it is ‘practically impossible’ for Muslims to integrate into modern Europe.
Speaking on local TV, President Milos Zeman also blamed the New Years Eve sex attacks in Cologne, Germany, on ‘Muslim culture’.
Zeman is known for his fiery anti-migrant comments and has previously accused refugees ‘with iPhones’ of exploiting their children to get asylum in the EU.
‘The experience of Western European countries which have ghettos and excluded localities shows that the integration of the Muslim community is practically impossible,’ Zeman said in a televised interview Sunday.
‘Let them have their culture in their countries and not take it to Europe, otherwise it will end up like Cologne,’ he added, referring to the mass New Year’s Eve assaults on women in Germany and elsewhere.
‘Integration is possible with cultures that are similar, and the similarities may vary,’ pointing out that the Vietnamese and Ukrainian communities had been able to integrate into Czech society.
Zeman, a 71-year-old leftwinger and the first-ever directly elected president of the Czech Republic, has repeatedly spoken out against the surge of migrant and refugee arrivals in Europe….

Angemon says
He’s absolutely right. You can’t integrate someone who comes to your country with a blueprint of what the perfect way of life should be.
mortimer says
Zeman is right. Sharia law is irreconcilable with European civilization. Muslims who observe Sharia are unable to integrate with modernity or European values.
They should return to Sharia countries where they can be as backward as they want.
Lord Wrath says
“Sharia Law is irreconcilable with European civilization”…
You should have left out the word “European”…
nomoreislamicstate says
You got it, these people are not civilized. They are savages. This video proves that: http://www.blindfoldnation.com/index.php/2016/01/17/migrant-attacks-woman-in-hungary/ that is yet another savage beating of a woman in public, this time caught on camera. I want you all to understand, these people are NOT civilized in any way!
Shane says
Winston Churchill understood Islam much better than today’s Western politicians do.

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
Joaquin says
Mr. Zeman, please come to Germany and become the President or the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.
nicu says
Gandhi knew that already !
East – Europe does it right !
That for they get in trouble with EU — though they keep the laws – not like Merkel who breaks laws constantly .
Hugh {+} says
“Practically impossible”? It is COMPLETELY impossible!
Paul says
“He will, of course, be excoriated as a racist, bigoted Islamophobe, but what exactly
did he say that was factually false?”
At least women and gay people will be safe there and the country safe from terrorist
attacks. We heartily embrace these human rights violations in Western Europe so
as not to be “racist” against a multiracial belief system. We should be proud – not
like primitive Eastern Europeans who want to protect their citizens!
Geoffrey Cooper says
Do I detect just a teensy weensy bit of cynicism there Paul?
Paul says
You sure do, Geoffrey. Not to mention an element of bitterness
at our traitorous politicians and pathologically dishonest MSM.
Rick says
The Czech President is almost right except for the word “practically”. He should have said it is impossible. They don’t have any intention of becoming integrated. They only want to control. Islam is not merely a religion, it is a religious political ideology mandated in the Koran!
I advise everyone to watch the video of this Norwegian Mullah interview. It is a chilling and honest remarks of what the Muslim mind set really is. Here is the web address : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp_1JvRsCYE&list=FLudss_NQ8EyPopg34i6krxg
Hope says
They can call him every name in the book. At the end of it all, his country and his citizens and their culture will survive, thanks to this man’s willingness to exercise common sense. Thank God all of Europe is not being destroyed. So sad to see what is happening to the Western European citizens. Beyond sad and absolutely infuriating.
Peggy says
Imagine, people from Eastern Europe migrate to west for better life but people from west will be migrating to East so they can have a life.
Lu says
It may very happen eventually – sad as it is. When I lived in Czechoslovakia in the 80’s we were looking up to England and France as the free world countries where the basic freedoms are guaranteed … now it is just the opposite.
Tempora mutantur.
Tom says
We will soon wake up when a country like Iran unleashes the dogs of nuclear war. Only then will we become aware of the social cancer that is Islam.
blitz2b says
Not bloody likely…. Even then there will be those who will make excuses for this diabolic cult….. ” it has nothing to do with Islam in any way, shape or form…” They’ll say… Just you wait.
Islam can and only will be destroyed by Muslims themselves, and that will only happen when Islam is dismantled piece by piece by discrediting the claim that the Koran is from divine origin. Right now no scholar has the gonads to speak the truth about this hateful piece of literature.
Laurence says
Yes, if only all leaders and heads of State saw Islam much more clearly; and acted upon that knowledge and understanding with wisdom. But alas, sadly and to our detriment that is too often just not the case at all is it.
The truth sets free; the lie imprisons.
Edwin1683 says
Thank God for a leader like Mr. Zeman.
Mockingjay says
I like him.
David M says
Soon, native German women will be applying for asylum in countries like Hungary & the Czech republic, to escape the Muslim asylum seekers Merkel let into Germany!
Jay Boo says
Good one
The UK women won’t be far behind.
Hope says
Good, Western Europeans, come to the US and help us fight! Oh, wait… Obama won’t let you in if you’re white and/or Christian or Jewish. Best way in is to sneak across the Mexican border, that’s what everyone else does.
Pervy Grin says
Yes, Germans could move into areas of Czech. What could go wrong?
David M says
A peaceful migration would be a good token after the WW2 bad experience for Czechs, good point.
Jay Boo says
Zeman, a 71-year-old leftwinger
Wow
What if Leftist Bernie Sanders said the same thing.
Peter says
What if he were struck by lightning and was unharmed? Same odds.
Jay Boo says
We must now be extra careful not to step into a pile of Islam.
When ungrateful Muslims start pooping out their full loads of Islam onto Canada, Trudeau will wonder why he ever went on a mosque carpet kissing tour.
Edwin1683 says
I love your phrase “pooping out full loads of Islam”. It is an apt description of what they do: S*** all over everything and everybody and go on their merry way, subjugating and destroying as they go.
But I’m not sure the Princeling will be sorry. After all, the fondest dream in his peanut brain is to see all of us impertinent Canadian infidels permanently cut down to size. And with all those loyal Mohammedan voters he’ll be able to stay on his throne forever.
gravenimage says
Zeman is not wrong–bless him for being brave enough to say so!
The Bull says
The guy is a supreme legend. KUDOS to Czech president. Czech mate I say.
grace says
No points for being right about islam nowadays. In spite of all evidence to the contrary, it is still a religion of peace. And the masses put their heads in the sand and don’t want to know, just as the world did as Hitler gained more and more control.
I miss France and would love to return for another few months, but I will only visit non muslim countries.
Myxlplik says
More sanity… Another mass Muslim firing, seems employing observant Muslims is bad for business.

David says
Can Mr. Zeman do a tour of the United States to explain why you can’t integrate Muslims into Western society? It’s good that he has left-wing credentials because he may be able to get through to some of these thick-headed left-wing clowns on campuses. Or is that practically impossible?
Peggy says
But can he get a visa after saying that?
mortimer says
Agree with Peggy.
Will the UK government ban him for saying Islam is irreconcilable with European civilization?
Note: they would have to ban Winston Churchill and many other British writers.
SpiritOf1683 says
Just imagine the furore if anyone copied the Victorian British Prime Minioster William Gladstone, who held up a copy of the Koran in the Houses of Commons, described it as an “accursed book” then said: “So long as there’s this book, there will never be peace”.
mortimer says
The reason Muslims cannot integrate into European civilization is two-fold:
European civilization is based on the Golden Rule and critical thought.
However, Islam does not practice the Golden Rule (Universal Rule of Reciprocity), and is based on AUTHORITARIAN THOUGHT and the Fallacy of the Appeal to Force in place of reasoned argument.
Wellington says
Good points, mortimer.
Baucent says
Huge respect for Zeman, who incidently is one of Israel’s few friends in Europe.
Deserves the Nobel Peace prize more than Merkel, who will probably get it.
Terry says
Their goal is not to integrate or assimilate. It is to take over by displacing or destroying the existing nonMuslim population. There will be only one winner in this situation.
salim says
The people and leaders of Eastern Europe (who joined the EU late) seem to be the only ones with straightforward thinking. They deal with threat as honest and sensible humans did for thousands of years.
In western Europe we blame the EU for our inability to be sensible but what is the excuse for North America?
I think it is not a leader or a party that failed but the entire system. A civilisation that fails to protect itself and its people cannot claim success.
Peter Brock says
“Close,” as they would say regarding President Zeman’s statement, “BUT, no cigar.”
Until we proclaim that the “emperor” has no clothes on, we will continue to apologize for the Prince of Evil in our midst.
We…us… NOT them! We who are reading Jihad Watch and sitting back and smugly saying: “Attaboy, Bob…”
Otherwise, Pogo had it right: “We have met the enemy, and he is us!”
Peter says
Remember Itzbegovic? He was the U.S.-backed (Clinton) Muslim leader of Bosnia who had written of the Islamic imperative of Muslims to takeover any non-Muslim societies in which they found themselves, and that it wasn’t a question of having a majority, but rather enough power.
The will to subjugate non-Muslims and destroy their ways of life, of course, is imbedded in the core orthodox doctrines of Islam; e.g., Sura 9:33, which states that Islam “is to be made superior to other systems of belief.”
Anyone who thinks that all members of Muslim communities in any European country hold the interests or welfare of the host or native populations in a positive light is deluding themselves.
Michael Copeland says
“There can be no peace … . The Islamic movement can and must take power as soon as it is morally strong enough … to destroy the non Islamic power … .”

Cameron says
It’s practically impossible to integrate Muslims into any non-Islamic society. Everywhere they have gone outside of the Arabian peninsula they have never integrated into other societies when they had enough numbers even to form the smallest ghetto. As their numbers increase they always cause more and more and more trouble and crime and violence until they become dominant and all other cultures and non-Muslims categorically become severely restricted or abolished and subjugated beneath Islam.
Salome says
Last time I looked the Vietnamese and Ukrainians had integrated perfectly well into Australian society, too. But I’m racist for even noticing it, I expect.
Matthieu Baudin says
The degree of PC indoctrination in Central Europe has been relatively light compared to the west and so the Czech Republic and neighbouring states are now reaping the reward as their citizenry and leadership are able to think clearly and speak plainly about the current deluge of Muslim immigrants and the likely consequences for the people of Europe.
Denis says
The Czech leader is absolutely correct. Muslims DO NOT assimilate into western society. They will use the laws of our society, the generosity of our society, (charity) but will contribute very little to western society as they will live in closed loop societies that actually say “do not take the non believers as friends unless you can USE them for a purpose.” Germany has been Merklized (allowed a glut of Muslim ungrateful immigrants) and will be a third world country in 25 years, France will have 30 to 40 percent Muslim population, England 20% and Belgium 60%. Won’t Europe be a great place to live with Muslims making the laws of the land.
Melody says
When are the people of Europe going to start killing them? How much more will they tolerate? It seems inconceivable to me. The UK seems to love the raping of their children, at least a million poor girls have been raped thousands of times each. France seems intent on waiting for more bombings, more blood shed, more deaths, more chaos. Germans seem willing to accept millions more and the complete collapse of their social programs and economy. I do not understand this.
