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

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: European Media Jihad Against Geert Wilders

Nov 4, 2016 4:07 am By Robert Spencer

As they lose their grip, the political and media elites are getting desperate. My latest in FrontPage:

geert-wilders

The mainstream media in Western Europe and North America isn’t even pretending to be an objective news source anymore; instead, “journalists” are working openly to quell what looks increasingly, on both sides of the Atlantic, like a popular revolution against the hegemony of the self-appointed political and media aristocracy that seems hell-bent on driving Western civilization over the cliff. And so it’s time for another round of their Two-Minutes Hate against Dutch politician and freedom fighter Geert Wilders.

Wilders has yet again gone on trial in the Netherlands for “hate speech,” and this time the case against him is especially flimsy: as Europe is roiled by the criminal activity of Muslim migrants, he is being accused of “hate speech” for saying that the massive influx of immigrants from Morocco (from which most of the Muslim migrants in the Netherlands come) has to be stopped.

This trial could very easily backfire on the Dutch inquisitors, and make Wilders more popular than ever with the people of the Netherlands and Europe in general, as they are increasingly fed up with the political and media elites’ forcing them to accept a massive influx of Muslim migrants that ensures a future only of civil strife, bloodshed, and Sharia oppression.

Consequently, those elites are trying desperately to shore up their position. Wilders chanted “No more Moroccans” at a rally. The horror! To any sane person, this means “Stop the influx of Moroccan immigrants who only inflate crime rates and welfare rolls.” To the media, which at this point is quite insane, insofar as insanity means an inability or refusal to accept reality, this means “Genocide!”

And so, in this Deutsche Welle (DW) piece by freelance “journalist” Teri Schultz, we’re told that European Parliament lawmaker Cecile Kyenge, who was born in Congo, had “numerous racial slurs – not to mention, bananas, literally – thrown at her, along with suggestions she go back to ‘her country.’” Does this have anything to do with the crime and civil strife that are the foundations for Wilders’ position? Of course not, but Wilders, Schultz tells us, is (of course) “far-right,” that all-purpose and meaningless semaphore that serves only to signal to right-thinking Deutsche Welle readers that Wilders is, as far as the media elites are concerned, unsavory, and must be opposed and shunned, his positions left unexamined.

Schultz contacted me to serve as the villain of her piece, being sure to tell her hapless readers that I am “known for extreme anti-Islam views,” to make sure that if any of them are foolish enough to find themselves agreeing with me, they will immediately reverse themselves and get their minds right. The term “extreme” also, since the Western governing class unanimously refers to jihad terrorists as “extremists,” also implies that I am a terrorist.

After the article came out, I challenged Schultz on this; she replied: “I don’t think even you would consider your views ‘mainstream’, do you?” I responded: “Absolutely yes. My views were the broad mainstream in the Western world from 632 AD until the 1960s. What changed? Not Islamic teaching.” To that she said: “Okay. You’d have to argue it with another expert, which I am not. But thanks again for contributing.” Indeed, she is just a mouthpiece for the views the political and media elites want us to hold.

In any case, Schultz’s article merely reveals the desperation of the ruling class and the self-appointed opinion-shapers. They can call those of us who wish to defend the people and culture of Europe and North America “far-right” and “extreme” every day (and they do), but the public can see with their eyes what is happening. Wilders’ popularity isn’t growing because he is a charming fellow (which is, of course, not to say that he isn’t). It’s growing because he speaks the truths that the political and media elites are in a frenzy to obscure.

And it’s only going to get worse for them: the Brexit vote and the Trump candidacy (whether he wins or loses) shows that their hegemony is beginning to be challenged. Those challenges will continue, and grow. They will before too long be decisively voted out and repudiated.

    I’m not surprised since the media is always biased as usual to the ones who speak the truth just look at how Donald Trump is being treated by the media.

      The “news” has become Tabloid Television, concentrating on scandal and ignoring the issues. The POTUS is little more than a mouse on an elephant of bureaucracy and Congress which has the real control.

      The most important issue facing the next POTUS is choosing Supreme Court Judges. That one issue is a sufficient consideration on which to vote.

    “Calais Jungle rape suspects held after female TV channel interpreter is subjected to sickening sex attack ”

    These are the kind of vermin that legions of British do- gooders and Muslim huggers are hysterically demanding be allowed to settle in Britain.

    PS The raped woman, turns out to be an Afghan Muslim who was raped with a knife held to her throat, by her Afghan countrymen.

    The German media is beyond the pale. The “journalists” suck up to muzzies and vilify and demonize their critics. Geert Wilders is a European hero, he’s the best European politician of the 21st century as Winston Churchill was the best European politician of the 20th century. A long time before Hitler invaded Poland and started WWII Churchill knew that Hitler wanted to rule the world, as he had read “Mein Kampf”. Wilders knows the Koran and tells people that muzzies want to rule the world. Plain to see for anybody gifted with common sense, but that’s what our media and politicians lack.

    I can only hope you’re right dear Robert “In any case, Schultz’s article merely reveals the desperation of the ruling class and the self-appointed opinion-shapers”. Lots of people still still believe what the media tells them, facts don’t bother them and they keep talking about the nice Turkish green-grocer next door. By no means can he be terrorist. If he practices the religion of peace he’s a potential terrorist. Lots of people ignore that, they prefer to wear blinkers when it comes to Islam.

      Those media elites are so addicted to preening their feathers to flaunt their supposed ‘virtue’ that they seek an ever increasing hit of political correctness and will gladly attempt to trample anyone to enable their daily dose of plumage preening.

    Muslim Huggers, in The USA, are on their toes, eager to place “Blasphemy” Laws in every Local, State & Federal Court!
    There is even something more dangerous, citizens are encouraged to indulge in “Tell MAMA” on neighbors, relatives, etc. And this is happening in the Obamanation, with the AID of LE! Sad to see!

    Geert Wilders could stand up in court and read out a list of crimes carried out in the Netherlands and elsewhere by Muslim migrants and asylum-seekers. Then ask the judges, ‘What feature do ALL of the perpetrators of these crimes have in common?’ Geert Wilders would KNOW that the perpetrators were ALL Muslims. If the judges DON’T KNOW that fact, then Geert Wilders could reasonably claim that the judges were INADEQUATELY INFORMED. It would be interesting to watch the judges SQUIRM as they try to say ANYTHING to avoid acknowledging those FACTS.

      ‘What feature do ALL of the perpetrators of these crimes have in common?”
      If he did that the media would vilify him for ‘stigmatising an entire race.’

    Here is an example: how the elite left such as Donna Brazile, part of the MSM, claim to be Christian as a cover; however they are liars who have no ethics or morality. On the one hand her defence is: Christian : the reality is evil.

    Hup Wilders Hup!

    “phobia, n. an abnormal or morbid fear or aversion.” Concise Oxford Dictionary

    Quoting from Islamic religious texts, quoting Imams and reporting acts of violence committed by Muslims in the name of their religion is not an abnormal act. It is in fact educational about the realities of Islam and it’s impact on Western civilisation.

    Islamophobia is the term used to try and shut down valid and factual comment on Islam. The term is a misleading lie.

    Islam is not a race so you cannot in fact be a racist when discussing Islam.

    “bigot, n. an obstinate and intolerant believer in a religion, political theory etc”, COD (Islam on both counts!)

    So much for those using false definitions to suppress free speech.

    Coming to one of the United States near you: a critic of one of the Left’s leaders or clients on trial for “hate speech”. After all, I still suspect that Electoral College map still favors Shrillary Shrooooooooooo.

    I sincerely hope that the GOP follows through, if it keeps the Senate, on “Borking” everyone of the Shrooooooooooo’s appointees to the federal bench, and not just the SCOTUS. We need to send a message to judges that we’re sick of social engineers who, on the one hand, promise us they’ll leave our personal beliefs alone, yet on the other, push the agenda of those radicals who loudly declared that “the personal is political”. It would also be good if a GOP Congress would start filing impeachment motion after impeachment motion against the worst of the Leftist activists in robes should the Shrooooooo win. That would be a better way to slam the liberal agenda than making a few bureaucrats works without pay.

    It is the shame of the Netherlands that judges did not immediately dismiss the charges against Wilders.

    May the Sea Beggars rise again with Psalm 68 on their lips!

    Instead of the format they currently use, maybe the rules in the next debate, we should allow the presidential hopefuls to get the questions in advance and allow them to study up and form their answer. I would prefer to have a studied answer…that would make it more scholarly less got cha s..t. Then you can at least get a better answer. It does not surprise me that this happened…not the worst crime ….it would be more informative and more brutal and less influence of political leanings.

    Just think Trump could have given more evidence of the immigration/refugee problems, details that are left out by a political media. As far as Greet Wilders he is now trying to speak in a silenced environment (and the pressure of the suited terrorists) which is on the brink of happening in America, if the facts don’t get out. Trump is a quick reader, likes information he should have been allowed to speak out.

    It is time for America to like information and study not all this giddy nonsense.Life will get better.

    OOps I meant” less brutal,” ….and less influence of trick questions….sorry.

    There’s one massive lacuna in all this supposition: What is driving the so-called “liberal” pressure for overthrowing our liberal values? I’m really confused about the motivations of the press, who after all have as much to lose as the rest of us. Are they really that misunderstanding, confusing unbelievable philanthropic intent with unbelievable self-destructive action? Do they really not even understand the consequences of unrestricted marketing of the absorption of virtually unlimited numbers of immigrants? I don’t understand what is driving this.

    What wretched times we live in when truth is your enemy. Geert Wilders is a true hero and one day history will recognize him as such. Here is another hero who is being crucified for telling the truth. Julian Assange. I am posting his full interview here. He talks about why Trump will not be permitted to win and the reason why Hillary went for Libya. He is a political prisoner in the west. My head spins when I think about it.

  17. Troybeam says

    Geert Wilders, this is one of the few human beings willing to make a stand for the West and humanity as a whole. His warnings about Islam can be seen in true light with the immigration across Europe, what is really upsetting is all the liberals who ban against him and call him racist, put him on trial for speaking the truth using Islam’s own words to make his point. I stand with Mr. Wilders.
