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

Germany: Muslim author receives death threats for criticizing Islam

Apr 13, 2017 8:37 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The West is growing more accustomed to accepting sharia blasphemy laws, imposed by Islamic supremacists who are aided and abetted by useful idiots. It began in Europe with “anti-Islamophobia” initiatives to shut down the freedom of speech, while simultaneously escalating into widespread real phobias about criticizing or insulting Islam, and then continued with suicidal immigration policies, which have resulted in mass rapes, no-go zones and jihad attacks. This pattern will manifest itself in any domain that is regarded as the house of war, if the house of war leaders allow it to do so.

With her book The Veiled Threat dealing with the plight of Muslim women in Europe, former radical feminist Zana Ramadani has kicked the Islamist hornets’ nest in Germany. Being born a Muslim herself, Ramadani is fearful of her life after receiving countless death threats from radical Muslims in Germany.

As an immigrant herself, Ramadani is endangered in Germany because she dared to exercise her right to free speech. Perhaps her criticism of Islam (rather gently to boot) may render her also to be a “white supremacist,” as Ayan Hirsi Ali was absurdly dubbed in Australia, ironically by Sharia supremacists who have managed to fool Westerners into believing that they are “friends” of democracy and secularism.

Interesting to note:

Ex-Femen activist Ramadani still sticks to many of her leftist beliefs, but the process of getting mugged by reality has forced her to act like a conservative — at least for the time being.

“German-Muslim Author Faces Death Threats After Publishing Book Critical of Islam”, by Vijeta Uniyal, Legal Insurrection, April 11, 2017:

With her book The Veiled Threat dealing with the plight of Muslim women in Europe, former radical feminist Zana Ramadani has kicked the Islamist hornets’ nest in Germany. Being born a Muslim herself, Ramadani is fearful of her life after receiving countless death threats from radical Muslims in Germany. German authorities have not granted her police protection yet.

Ramadani gained public prominence in Germany five years ago when she founded the German chapter of the radical feminist group Femen. Once a darling of the left, Ramadani quickly fell out of favour with German liberals once she started criticising the oppression of women within Islam. Her fellow feminists accused her of being a racist and forced Ramadani out of the group which she founded.

“I have problem with certain kind of Feminists,” Ramadani says. “Those who talk about women’s solidarity, but don’t practice it in reality. They only regard White Western male as source of all evil and that he needs to be criticise without any inhibitions, but when it comes to criticising those belonging to other cultures…one automatically gets labelled as racist.”

Ex-Femen activist Ramadani still sticks to many of her leftist beliefs, but the process of getting mugged by reality has forced her to act like a conservative — at least for the time being. With German police denying her the protection she requires, Ramadani has applied for a gun licence. Hopefully, German authorities won’t deny Ramadani her right to defend herself.

Ramadani’s book is arguably the harshest indictment of Islam to be published in Europe in recent years. Just weeks following its release, the book has become a nationwide bestseller in Germany. Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung writes:

In her book and related interviews the 33 year-old [Ramadani] harshly criticises Muslim mothers. She makes a case — partially in strong words — for a ban on the full-face veil, as well as feminism courses for Muslim women, and less tolerance towards Islam.

The author describes the headscarf as “the shroud of death for a free society” and explains that a Muslim women who wears a headscarf regards herself superior to other [women]. “She says: I am better than you”. The headscarf wearer displays her political conviction that men and women can not be equal.

According to experts, the responsibility for radicalised young Muslims — beside institutions like the mosques and Islamic organisations — rests with the [Muslim] mothers,

“The daughters are brought up as spineless lemmings and the sons as princes,” Author said while criticising Islamic upbringing in an interview given to the German newspaper Die Welt.

“The sons can sell drugs, get violent, that’s not a problem for the mothers — family honour doesn’t diminish doing all that. However, the virginity of the daughter has to be maintained at all costs.” Otherwise the mothers have failed and brought dishonour to the family, says Ramadani in a conversation with the Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung. [Author’s translation]

Ramadani’s profile as a critic of Islam makes her a prime target of Islamist intimidation and terror. Fellow German-Egyptian author Hamed Abdel-Samad has been living as a hunted man in Germany for years — forced to live under constant police protection.

While Ramadani continues to receive rape and murder threats, German feminists are nowhere to be seen. Feminism isn’t about the rights of women anymore, just as ‘Black Lives Matter’ isn’t about civil rights and the Green Party isn’t about ecology. These are political platforms hijacked by the Alinskyite Left to be used as battering rams against its arch-enemy: the Western Civilisation.

The left sees itself in a self-declared Jihad against the West, which it considers the source of all injustices and suffering in the world. So when ex-Muslims like Ramadani draw attention to the plight of women under Islam, Western feminists rush to gag them from speaking out, lest they subvert the left’s “Social Justice” game plan. All the leftist solidarity with ‘women and minorities’ evaporates as soon as one of them starts questioning the anti-Western narrative…..

    Leftarded Regressives and other slogan-chanting, virtue-signalling, kumbaya-singing useful idiots do not understand DRACONIAN Sharia law, but they promote it.

    The first result of WHITEWASHING DISCRIMINATORY, DRACONIAN Sharia is to place the lives of ex-Muslims at MUCH GREATER RISK. They also facilitate (and they likely approve of) the murders of those who make ANY CRITICISM of Islam, no matter how mild or well-taken (such as the critique of FGM or honor killing).

    Leftarded Regressive ZOMBIEs CHANT SLOGANS but do not think about the REGRESSIVE 7th-century DOCTRINES of Islam … at all.

    POLITICAL CORRECTNESS KILLS.

    Mortimer, you are so right. Political correctness, that is all governments talk about, but rape, destroying,stoning, crucifying, bullying, that all seems to be POLITICAL CORRECT” There are many loose screws in many people’s head. We will win in the end and put an end to these atrocities, and it will not go without difficulties. Wait until they do something to “higher up people” and their children. I think then they might waken up, but not for us. But we will see what will happen. But much better in the near future I don’t expect that. What about the judicial courts? You have to keep to the laws of your country, if the system presents not to follow the rights, what makes them? Is that treason or what would you call that?
    Is it written somewhere in the Constitution what will happen then? Pls inform me about that.

        Robert, I think Pal is just noting that Muslims threaten Ms. Ramadan–he certainly is not threatening her himself.

    Next time a lefty/liberal argues Islam is peaceful and no different from other religions, please demand that they give an answer to these questions:
    Why is islam the only religion which demands immunity to satire and criticism?
    Why do even “moderates” support criminalization for blasphemy?
    Why is islam the only religion which can get you killed for drawing a cartoon of their prophet?

    Many of those (as most patrotic JW readers know) that signed our “DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE” died broke, without property, in debt, suffered through hardships of warfare and procuring money for the fight, great stress in keeping their states together, lost family members, sent soldiers to battle and death, had to hide and also had prices on their heads in some cases, including John Hancock.
    Glad this radical lefty Ramadani is exposing Islam with her book. Very interesting that a liberal in Germany would want a gun to protect herself. Imagine that.

    Another interesting thing that too many have failed to add up is: I don’t necessarily want peace WITH Islam, I could care less, I think about the welfare if Muslims and their view about as much as I do Hindus, except Hindus don’t back attack people and tear down civilizations by instructed methods.
    I want peace FOR them. That stupid , non-sensical Jihad and their murderous nanifesto has to go.

    “German feminists are nowhere to be seen” Not true. Alice Schwarzer, probably the most prominent and long-standing feminist in Germany often criticizes islam on talkshows and in her magazine, Emma.

    But she does not get enough support.

    The thing is , the left is just basically out of touch with reality. “Religion is the Opiate” and this is a communist truism that the left has plain pure out forgotten. Tragic, really, and I think the entirety of this ultra-deluded politically correct philosophy will get recycled in the next 10-20 years.

    ” Once a darling of the left, Ramadani quickly fell out of favour with German liberals once she started criticising the oppression of women within Islam. Her fellow feminists accused her of being a racist ”

    Once again we see the dishonesty and cowardice of the Left.

    Threatening and killing is in their blood, but we are assured most are moderates. Yeah right! Hundreds of Pakistani students torture, then kill fellow student for his secular and liberal views after a debate got too heated. It’s sheer evil at work:

      It’s not necessarily in their blood, as humans are born pure. It is certainly in their doctrine and upbringing though, especially in Pakistan.

    Christine – excuse the off-topic comment, but Ramadani isn’t “afraid of her life” – (how can anybody be “afraid of their life” ?) – she is afraid “FOR her life….”.

    This is good news. I means alternative voice can be heard in Germany – at least until they shut her down, one way or another.

  16. TheBuffster says

    Apr 14, 2017 at 8:30 pm

    Nit-picking, but:

    The title of this article calls Ramadani a “Muslim” but the article itself refers to her as an ex-Muslim”:

    “The left sees itself in a self-declared Jihad against the West, which it considers the source of all injustices and suffering in the world. So when ex-Muslims like Ramadani draw attention to the plight of women under Islam..”

    I thought the correct response to criticism of a religion was a slew of Tony awards and years of hot ticket sales…..
    (Book of Mormon Musical reference)

    The double standard the feminist left (sorry to be redundant) has been exhibiting toward a religion with Quran 4:34 is painfully obvious and removes any ability to take them seriously. Do they never read?

  18. Karina says

    Apr 16, 2017 at 11:24 pm

    As much as Muslims hate non-Muslims, they are equally vile towards ex-Muslims, and even believing/practicing Muslims who criticize it….
    The inability to accept any criticism, and it’s harsh ‘my way or die’ ideology and practices indicate that Islam is indeed a vile death worshipping cult.
