Jihad Watch writer Christine Douglass-Williams has been in Warsaw this past week, at the conference of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Here are videos of two of her brief interventions there, calling upon the OSCE to prioritize victims of jihad violence in Europe’s refugee programs, and for migrants to assimilate into Western cultures.
This is the message that needs to be spoken, and spoken again and again, in as many European and American forums as possible. The Yazidis and Middle Eastern Christians are actual refugees, victims of the Islamic State (ISIS) jihad (and the jihad by other Islamic entities as well) that displaced them from their homes where they had been for over a millennium. (Those who point to the fact that these non-Muslim communities had survived for centuries under Islamic rule without being exiled and massacred are ignorant of history. They lived under Islamic rule for most of that time as subjugated dhimmis, always declining in strength and numbers; when ISIS came in, it demanded their submission, and treated them as kuffar harbi — infidels at war with Islam, who could lawfully be killed — when they didn’t get it.) Any commonsensical refugee policy would give the non-Muslims priority, but common sense is not much in evidence in our age.
It’s the same situation with the assimilation of refugees and migrants: if they don’t accept the culture and mores of their new land, the society will atomize and, sooner or later, come apart, probably with bloodshed. But once again, common sense is in short supply these days.
Christine and other delegates to the OSCE stood firmly for the freedom of speech in this era of encroaching totalitarianism:
Dean says
Christine: You are a true leader and your points concerning the left-wing and elite agenda of labeling good people and societies “Islamophobic” (to shut us all up) will inevitably prevent new refugees from having anyone dare explain to them that they must cooperate, get along, accept and integrate into our free and fair societies rather than having them think by our weakness, arrogance, ignorance and fear that we will submit to them and become the kind of societies like the horrific ones left behind – currently drowning in an ocean of bloody war and terror.
Anyone or any leader who thinks that you can open the floodgates to un-vetted, unending and, uninvestigated asylum seekers is placing the burden on others to accept the inevitable consequences (as they hide behind political correctness and pandering to save and promote their own positions). They are the ones exhibiting fear of Islam, loathing for their own people and desire to experiment with social engineering facilitated by. Alinskyite tactics to exchange the greatest civilization for failure and the worst forms of totalitarianism….
Apparently to speak the truth or to say anything contrary to the leftist Big Brother lines will get you in trouble and prevent one from being heard in this new world order.

How IRONIC INDEED!! Muslims often MISTREAT their non Muslim minorities in their lands but then come begging to more advanced and prosperous non Muslim lands as refugees!! But IRONY and HYPOCRISY are the trademarks of Muslims…

I wonder why you capitalized the word muslim. Was it due to paying respect?

Get a copy of Dr. Amy L. Beam’s book “The Last Yezidi Genocide”. It tells the story first-hand of the massacre at Shingal and the continuing story of the forced emigration, captivity, and political corruption facing Yesidis today. The book is available in English from the Ezidische Akademie in Hannover, Germany. Contact info@ezidak.de. This information is essential for anyone interested in or currently dealing with this human tragedy.

Muslims should not take Jews or Christians as friends: “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely allah does not guide the unjust people.” — Qur’an 5:51
