Jihad Watch

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

“The notion that Moroccan-Belgians suffer from widespread exclusion, discrimination, and suppression is ridiculous”

Mar 31, 2016 6:37 pm By Robert Spencer

This article is an exceptionally well-reasoned antidote to the prevailing notion that Muslims in Europe are committing jihad murder because Europeans are so very, very mean to them.

bomb Brussels

“Europe’s Muslims hate the West,” by Leon de Winter, Politico, March 29, 2016:

The first reaction to the Brussels massacres among postmodern European intellectuals was predictable: What did we, Europeans, do to them, our Muslims? How could followers of a religion that is proudly called “the religion of peace” commit these kinds of atrocities?

People like Peter Vandermeersch, the Belgian editor-in-chief of Dutch newspaper NRC-Handelsblad, and Belgian writer David Van Reybrouck, both accomplished intellectuals, argued that Belgium must have done something terrible to deserve this. Their line of reasoning: The terrorists’ fury must be a reaction to their inhumane treatment at the hands of the West.

So, we blame ourselves in order to remain blameless. Safer to blame our own societies and socioeconomic conditions than to blame the religious and cultural concepts with which terrorists poison their own minds.

According to reports, the unemployment figure in Brussels’ infamous Molenbeek neighborhood — now referred to as the jihadi hothouse of Europe — is 30 percent. This is a relatively high figure in Western Europe, but not unusual in southern European countries or the Arab world. There is poverty in Molenbeek, but that poverty is relative. There is no starvation, no homelessness, no lack of medical infrastructure, no lack of schools.

Compared to average living standards in Morocco or Egypt, the average living standard in Molenbeek is comfortably middle-class. Like in any other Western European country, many Belgian institutions and organizations offer support when families need housing, food, education, and health care. Opportunities for success, and to study and become a respected member in society, are countless compared to those that exist in many immigrants’ countries of origin. Still, there is deep resentment among the younger generations of immigrant Moroccan families.

Immigration into the Netherlands from Morocco and Turkey is an expensive phenomenon for the taxpayer: In the modern welfare state immigrants are more dependent on the welfare state than the average citizen. Because of a lack of higher education and the lack of non-skilled jobs, immigrants absorb a higher part of unemployment and social security payments than the average citizen. As a group, they receive more money than they pay in taxes. They also show up much higher in crime statistics than their numbers would justify. There are many success stories, but there are also disappointing trends. Like radicalization. And the situation in Belgium is even worse.

* * *

There is no question that unemployment is much higher among Muslim immigrant communities than among the general public. There are two possible explanations.

The first goes something like this: The Belgian people are terribly xenophobic and anti-Moroccan, and deny their Moroccan neighbors opportunities to succeed in life. But if this were the case, the theory can be applied to every Western European country, as unemployment figures for Moroccan and other Muslim migrants across Europe are remarkably higher than average. This would indicate that European xenophobia has reached unbearable levels. Why would Muslims choose to stay in societies that showed such deep disrespect for their migrant population? Because they realize that an unemployed citizen in a European welfare state run by infidels has a better material life than an employed citizen in pious Morocco?

The notion that Moroccan-Belgians suffer from widespread exclusion, discrimination, and suppression is ridiculous — and yet completely acceptable among the politically-correct crowd. Life in Belgium is exceptionally good and safe for migrants — if they are willing to integrate into their new cultural environment, if they are willing to act as individuals, study with passion and openness, and accept the secular system of the West….

    Let’s call their lament justified, since when does dealing with resentment justify murder?
    Never.

      Exactly.
      No one EVER asks this question when accusations of discrimination or racism are made.
      It’s just taken as a conclusive argument for muslim violence.
      “We” just aggravated them THAT much. It’s all our own fault.
      That is taken for absolutely granted.

      Exactly; no one makes another person do something he/she doesn’t want to do, so clearly those perpetrating these attacks are doing so because that’s what they choose to do of their own free will! Moreover, like all bullies, they will NOT stop, until it becomes too painful to them to NOT stop!

    Learning anything, as understood in the West, is alien to them. There are so many stories of Muslim youth routinely disrupting lessons in European classrooms. Either it’s because they are genetically stupid or they are deliberately honing skills for later jihad.

      The intellectual average in the middle east is around 80. Cousin marriage (a very common occurence there) may have a lot to do with it. Centuries of this practice has resulted in a stigmied inellectual capability. A massive percentage (60% or more) are illiterate in their OWN language. So the odds of them integrating or finding decent work are minimal at best, This is all before you even factor in Islam itself…

    Indeed. Unfortunately, the idea that “radicalization” stems from Europeans being a bunch of big bullies that discriminate against immigrants is not just held by left-winged morons, European or otherwise, trying to get votes. It’s also held among Conservative Americans who tell themselves that Europe’s segregation of “refugees” blew up on its face but America has a long, proud tradition of integrating migrants from all parts of the world and all kinds of background, and therefore what’s happening in Europe will never happen in the US.

    • Sandra Lee Smith says

      Apr 1, 2016 at 9:00 pm

      Yes it will because Americans still refuse to recognize that there is NO radicalization going on at all; that’s ORTHODOX Islam; and it’s ISLAM that is the root of the problem! As long as that ideology is permitted to exist in the world it will remain the deadly cancer that it IS, to all humanity!

    The self-blaming is understandable when viewed from the lens of Western Judeo-Christian morality, which is, broadly speaking, the Golden Rule. By that standard, the idea of reciprocity is ingrained in people’s minds, so if someone is angry with you, you will instinctively wonder what you did to anger them, because you yourself will be only be angry with someone if they are unfair to you. Islam, however, is an “Us vs Them ethic”; its Golden Rule is reserved only for one’s co-religionists. These infidel intellectuals are guilty of the Mirror Image Fallacy; they lack the imagination and understanding to feel and think like a Muslim, to understand that one can hate solely based on religious difference.

    • Westman says

      Apr 1, 2016 at 9:42 am

      If Allah says clearly, in the Quran, that he hates the unbeliever, the Slaves Of Allah have little alterative.

      When Allah says you are the best of people and that you are entitled to Jizya from the Infidels, there is no pricked conscience in living off the infidel’s welfare system. If anything, it reinforces the view of supremacy; allowing free time that can easily be usurped for demonstrations. From the Infidel’s perspective it demonstrates that Islam is parasitic upon Infidel society.

      The violence of modern Jihad appears to be driven by the dissonance of the expectation of economic and social advancement, based on piety, and the secular requirements of personal industry for advancement in a meritocracy.

      The stampede by “refugees” through other countries, to reach Germany, was planned with a sense of entitlement. All that would be necessary for an explosion of violence is to stop the jizya.

    • Sandra Lee Smith says

      Apr 1, 2016 at 9:02 pm

      Islam has no “golden rule”; if more westerners could and did see how Muslims treat each other on a daily basis, they’d begin to grasp that!

  7. Hope says

    Mar 31, 2016 at 8:50 pm

    Everything is beneath them! They are superior, “the best of peoples,” the Koran assures them. Learning in school from the filthy infidels is beneath them. Work at a job? How can you possibly hold a job if you are a Muslim man being told what to do by an infidel woman supervisor? There is a reason why welfare benefits are called “entitlements.”

  8. GREET MARIEN says

    Mar 31, 2016 at 9:14 pm

    Yes, we Belgian take care of our migrants. Some attention should be paid (again) to attitude. Salah Abdeslam, eg, was fired on a previous job because he was often late. Sometimes they have problems with authority, since at home, they are the boss and they are free to do as they like. it is an issue of cause and consequences. Why don’t Belgians complain about hindu’s, buddhists, shintoists, etc. Because deep down they are tolerant.

    Mar 31, 2016 at 10:54 pm

    Amazingly close to well said!!

    The blame ourselves argument – doesn’t explain why suicide terrorist bombs would be let off in a place like Pakistan. [The western Islamophobia argument gets a bit thin when you get down to places like Southern Thailand. Islamophobia is like the pill – everyone is being forced to swallow.]

    Indeed a place like Morocco with its rigorous security measures – has also had its share of terrorist attacks – and thwarted attacks – most will never hear of.

    ::

    This article gets close to the heart of the issue of Islamic immigration in Europe – in that it acknowledges that mass Islamic immigration cost most EU nations more than it gains in tax revenue. And the reasons for the non-integration are two fold. The vast majority of Muslim families in Europe are made of one parent who is born in the EU and the other is brought in from Morocco or Algeria or some other part of the Islamic world through marriage.

    Like the writer points out – Europe offers a higher standard of living even at the lower end – when compared to the $2 or $3 a day many families would have to make due with in say North Africa. Thereby removing the incentive to ‘improve’ one’s lot – because upon arriving in Europe the belief is that one has ‘made it’.

    And next is that when these hybrid families are created with one more westernized parent from Europe and the other from Africa or Asia carrying with them the old ways – they are allowed to live off grid – in their own communities – subsidized all or in part by the state. [80% of Germany’s Turkish Muslims live like this.] There is simply no incentive to integrate.

    While the bleeding heart Leftists were crying about the migrants coming to Europe – many were alarmed – because it was clear these migrants were welfare benefit shopping. They simply wanted to pass through Hungary, to get to countries like Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands with more generous welfare plans. Walking hundreds of miles through Denmark to reach Sweden – because Denmark saw them coming and reduced benefits payments by half [like a student] – along with other restrictions – such as the automatic right to bring a wife or family.

    ::

    Europe’s Left should accept more of the blame for Muslim conditions in Europe – like the protesters at Donald Trump’s rallies – if anyone tries to change the practice of perpetual immigration where one is allowed to marry and bring their relative in to live entirely off the state in a Muslim only area – one is aggressively shouted down as being a “racist”.

    And even as there are large segments of the Muslim population in places like Belgium, not integrating and refusing all efforts to assimilate – no one can stop the immigration [mainly through family reunification] that brings more of the same.

    Look at France as an example.

    Even with the rising terrorist threat – no one can say stop the immigration from these parts – until we can figure this out.

    ::

    That said, the Paris bomber who was captured in Belgium – anyone would have thought he was integrated. A CNN report showed him dancing in a club with friends – and drinking – not long before the Paris attacks. But then, reportedly, so did the 911 attackers – because if they blow themselves up all their sins are forgiven – and they can get on the express ride to paradise.

    ::

    This does not stem from a problem with the west – it has simply arrived on our shores [if you look at European history that it was not here was no accident] Islamic terrorism is violence carried out in the effort to create an Islamic state.

    And we need to understand this – it does not mean that we have to be enemies with the average Muslim – but we do have to know what they mean – whether they use threats of violence or not – when they push for changes to our society. They try to make changes to everyone’s diet – to the pool – to the school – to the laws – taken together they are trying to erect an Islamic state model – in place of what we have.

    ::

    Muhammad said, he was made victorious by terror.

    But I think in Islam terror is a state of mind. If you are going to chop someone’s hand off – that’s terror – especially if you were a kid hearing this. And forgiveness is only ‘guaranteed’ if one obliterates themselves – is terror. And look at over the years – how many Muslims must have entertained the idea of leaving Islam – but were too terrified to do so.

    Clearly for Islam ~ terror begins at home.

    Yes, a good article.

    Flawed however by the following nonsense:

    ” a religion that is proudly called “the religion of peace””

    By whom and in accordance with what standard?

    “terrorists”

    Sure, every time I hear or read that word I think of Basque separatists; doesn’t everyone?

    “disappointing trends. Like radicalization.”

    What in Hell does “radicalization” mean? How do Muslims achieve that label? Why do otherwise intelligent people parrot such pap?

    “the lack of separation of state and church”

    C’mon. Church? Why did he not say mosque?

    “a high percentage of migrants”

    Really? Yah, those damned Jewish migrants.

    “about one in five natives can be considered as Islamophobic”

    Another idiotic, concocted term which diminishes the article’s veracity.

    “…The notion that Moroccan-Belgians suffer from widespread exclusion, discrimination, and suppression is ridiculous — and yet completely acceptable among the politically-correct crowd. Life in Belgium is exceptionally good and safe for migrants — if they are willing to integrate into their new cultural environment, if they are willing to act as individuals, study with passion and openness, and accept the secular system of the West…”

    Well said. Radicalisation and resentment among young people is a self serving phenomenon; they latch onto a grievance identity and chose to live within an ‘entitlement bubble’. Marxist, National Socialist and also Fascist beliefs offered something of this sort to large numbers of young people in Europe in previous generations; but today, within Muslim immigrant communities, these identity needs are met, for many young people, from a Jihad World View that derives its authority from traditional Islamic texts including the Koran.

    Moroccans have been fortunate to see their mother country avoid becoming a war zone. Moroccan security bodies have been dedicated and quite successful in pre-empting internal terror plots and infiltrating Jihad networks. The Moroccan King has remained a strong symbol of national identity and has used his remaining powers wisely to keep in check the stirring of fanaticism that no North African nation is immune.

    Given Morocco’s large population however, it shouldn’t be any surprise that a large proportion of Jihad Assassins operating in Europe are of Moroccan decent. My Moroccan friends would like them to be crushed because they appreciate the more open and tolerant life that stable civil societies provide. They are also well aware that a soft approach to Islamic fanatics in Europe will increase the likelyhood of the destabilisation of everyday life in Morocco. Morocco, like Tunisia, is heavily dependent upon tourism as an economic life blood and the day that terror strikes hard in Morocco will be the week that tourist numbers plummet. I would hazard to guess that the majority of Moroccans at home and abroad would see a ‘wishy washy’ apologist approach to Islamic Terrorists, Moroccan or otherwise, to be short sighted and contemptible and certainly not in their own moral or material interests.

    OFFTOPIC, but i am posting this here as a last-minute heads-up for all UK-based posters and lurkers who might be at leisure tomorrow 2nd April.

    the BPCA – british pakistani christian association – are going to be holding a big rally and presentation of petitions both at the Pakistani high commission and also at no 10 Downing st, LONDON, UK.

    This is a rally raising awareness about and showing solidarity with the persecuted minorities in Pakistan, ESPECIALLY the Christians [though not excluding others].

    A great opportunity for UK jihadwatchers, if they possibly can, if they live within easy travelling distance and are free tomorrow – or even if they are able to cancel other commitments – to STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. and to network with other people who are at least partly aware of the horribleness of Islam, and to further their education and generally raise public awareness. The bigger the rally the better. There will even be a band performing.

    Please, please, go , whether you’re a Christian, Hindu, atheist, Jew or Sikh – and take as many of your friends and family as you can manage to persuade to come.

    full details here;

    I really do not understand why muslims continue to go to Westerners countries if they know they will be discriminated and marginalised. Why don”t European and USA leaders tell these migrants to stay in their own countries or to go to only muslim countries. If these muslim migrants do that then there will be peace on earth. But really these muslims definitely have an agenda for going to western countries. Furthermore it should not be the responsiblity of western countries to take and look after them. It is really a mad world we are living in today!!

    Everywhere muslims live in the world becomes a human hellhole created by them and their followers. They don’t leave their “paradise” to go elsewhere for fun they go to kill infidels. They are led by the Ayatollahs, Imams, Mosques, U.S. Congress members and ignorant students too dumb to realize America is the greatest country because we are FREE. No where else has any freedom most of all muslims.
    Obama is a muslim who secretly prays to allah, I believe. He certainly doesn’t act like a christian with his endless lies and lack of a spine.

    1, In order to satisfy them we must give them our wives, young daughters, and little boys to be their slaves.
    2, We must turn over ALL our belongings to them in order to facilitate JIHAD.
    3, We all must convert to Radical Islam and become RAPISTS, MURDERERS, PEDOPHILES, THIEVES, HOMOPHOBIC, PERVERTS.
    These are simple demands for simple minds, I don’t understand why we are not lining up to commit suicide.
    If the kill us all they will still not be satisfied, they will start by killing each other, actually they ARE KILLING each other.

    Liberals, being Marxists, see everything from an economic, not a religious, viewpoint.

    That IS their “religion.” So to them muslims can’t be dangerous because of general religious doctrines which tell them to hate infidels because their god does, it must be because of specific economic grievances. They ignore that islam was created by rich Muhammad to further enrich himself at everyone else’s expense, and is still perpetrated. And it’s based on Moe’s crime-excusing alibi that god wanted him to commit his crimes!

    And yet, the Qur’an clearly and very specifically tells muslims the Bible is wrong and also that all Christians and Jews are infidel criminals who worship a false god, and who must therefore be extorted, enslaved, and murdered for their “crime” of not being muslims:

    Sura (Chapter) 47:1-4 of the Qur’an:

    1: non-muslims are bad, (allegedly because they insult allah by dividing his nature*);
    2: muslims are good, (allegedly because to them allah is the cause of everything*);
    3: Allah made them both like that;
    4: So muslims should chop off the non-muslims’ heads.
    (“Allah could have done it himself, but he wants you muslims to do it for him”).
    …

    It’s all right there, in context: islamic violence is entirely general doctrine-driven, and not at all specific grievance-driven.

    (And chapter 47 isn’t by any stretch even remotely the worst, most violent chapter; that honor goes to either chapter 8 or 9).

    So don’t go looking for what actions of yours may have offended or provoked them; they have been taught from birth that your existence alone offends their god, and so should offend them.

    Muslims have been officiallly taught to believe that they are the “best of people” (Qur’an 3:110) and that unbelievers are the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).

    ——-
    *[Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers! (3:151)].

    The real reason the islamic threat is being ignored in public, is this not-so-nascent “Globalization” Agenda21 movement, which is clearly treason to ALL sovereign national people’s governments.

    It’s a plutocratic kleptocracy to be run by all those corporazis who never want to pay any taxes to anyone, anywhere, ever; by the global communazi labour guys who want free movement and the same lowest common denominator wages for their 3rd-world slaves, and of course by the moslems who want their one-world islamic ummah, to be run by their theocratic caliphate government.

    It’s a triple-threat.

    Against all these evil forces, we have only the Truth … while only they currently control both the fear and the greed – the stick and carrot off the threat of having their careers protested by angry mobs of swarthy criminals (like happened at recent Trump rallies) or their own families targeted for beheadings and their homes incinerated by jihad – or taking oil-money bribes to keep their pensions.

    ….

    Here’s a typical corporazi round-table discussion:

    “Geez, Bob! We’ve managed to save a bundle by downsizing and out-sourcing all our labor problems to our 3rd-world slave-pens, but shipping costs are still eating us alive!”

    “No problem Gary – we’ll simply order our sales-puppet politicianss to bring all our slaves here! Whee! Their leftist Union voter-base will go along, because they want the racist white race diluted!”

    Tonight I saw a Frontline program, ‘Saudi Arabia Uncovered’, and the struggle for reform taking place there (good luck with that.) They spent a few minutes on the Saudi school system and read some material taught to the children. “All Christians should be beheaded”. “We must fight the Jews in the name of God”. “The Shia are blasphemers and should be killed”. (These are near-verbatim quotes, shortened for convenience.) And the mosques are no better. The situation in Morocco, Syria, etc. could be similar. It is likely that the disaffected Muslim youth in Brussels and elsewhere were inculcated with disdain, or even hate, for everything non-Islamic long before they arrived in their new host country. Most people, with a sense of self-preservation, and some sense of gratitude will refrain from killing off the goose that laid the golden egg. It takes some real attitude, and effrontery, to gobble up the generosity of your hosts while abusing them.
