Sharia states are the same all over the world: they discriminate fiercely against women, they deny non-Muslims numerous rights, they’re human rights basket cases with draconian punishments for homosexuality, adultery, theft, and more, and they’re vociferously anti-Semitic. But if you oppose all that in the West, you’re the problem.
“Four members of radical-right group, Voorpost, sentenced for inciting hate and violence because of banner, ‘Stop Islamization,'” translated by Gary Fouse from “4 leden radicaal-rechtse groep Voorpost veroordeeld voor aanzet tot haat en geweld wegens spandoek ‘Stop islamisering,'” VRT, May 26, 2021:
The criminal court of Mechelen has sentenced four members of the radical-right organization, Voorpost, for incitement toward hate and violence during a protest in May of last year. On a banner under the words, “Stop Islamization”, were pictured some women in burkas or niqabs, and this combination, according to the court, went too far. Various Parliament members from Vlaams Belang (party) have protested against the verdict in Mechelen.
It was on Saturday 30 May, 2020 on the Saturday Market in Mechelen that the radical-right organization, Voorpost, held a protest against what they say is Islamization. There some members also held a banner with the words, “Stop Islamization”. Under the words was a row of women wearing niqabs and a second row of women with burkas.
According to the criminal court in Mechelen, that banner went too far. “By having such signs and banners, the accused have the aim of instilling fear and creating hate in society by convincing onlookers of the idea that possibly in the future, Islam will dominate Flanders, ” the verdict reads.
They sketch an imagined danger whereby each woman, as a result of this so-called Islamization, will be forced to wear a burka or niqab, or that every woman, as a result, will wear a burka or niqab. Such ideas attempt to feed on the fear of the hate against Muslim society or to awaken it, so that (others) will be incited to engage in similar hateful and fear-mongering behaviors, said the court.
The four members of Voorpost are all sentenced to 6 months imprisonment. For three of them. this was postponed, for one the sentence was in effect. Their lawyer, Luc Deceuninck, will now look into whether they will appeal. But that seems probable. “This was just freedom of speech, a political statement, nothing else,” says Deceuninck in an initial reaction to the judgment.
“If someone says stop Islamization, they are not saying stop Islam. They are saying: Stop the pervasive influence of certain Islamic customs in our society. That is what they mean. The court actually did not answer our arguments,” said the displeased lawyer.
Vlaams Belang campaigns for free speech
Several parliamentarians from Vlaams Belang have protested in Mechelen against the verdict of the criminal court of Mechelen. On the Grand Market they unfurled banners with the same message, filled in with posters with the message, “Stop censorship”.
Ade Fegan says
If we are not allowed to express our concerns ..
how will anyone ever know we have any ?
Christopher Watson says
Well done, Ade. It’s finally clicked!
Mount Zion says
The criminal court of Mechelen who has sentenced these four people , should be made to resign and be substituted with a criminal court who is willing to uphold democratic principles. This verdict shows that the court’s loyalty is not with the concerns of their own people it sides with people who have opted repetedly for shariah law , as shown by hundreds of shariah courts troughout western countries , instead of accepting the law of the land.
roger Woodhouse says
They dont want us to have any
gravenimage says
We are not supposed to have any concerns.
john smith says
Nope, none what so ever, just let them take over.
Giacomo Latta says
You’re not supposed to have any in the first place. The Great Mother Welfare state will decide what your problems are and how they will go about to alleviate them. If it hasn’t told you about a specific issue then it is not a problem or is being taken care of in ways that you don’t have to worry about.
abad says
Moslems are only concerned about their rights and their rights alone. To hell with everyone else’s rights.
Guess what other “minority group” of late takes the same attitude.
You guessed it.
The so-called Transgender community.

there will always be people who oppose islamization, as there will always be people who fall victims of the barbarians, whether they manage to put some in jail or not… the criminalisation of the victims of islam (as most those who oppose islam oppose it because they are some kind of victims of islam, mostly) is usual, there is a big propaganda against all victims of islam individually… but with islamolusting governments, intelectuals, police in many cases, and institutions and foundations, there is no salvation… there needs be a revolution against islam that is highly unlikely without military rule…. this is exactly where islam is forcing europe towards… more and more criminality and jihad, more opression and repression in the future… unfortunately for all…
gravenimage says
Like most who oppose Islam, I actually defend freedom.
Besides, your assumption that the Belgian Army necessarily opposes Islam is sadly baseless:
“Belgian army seeks Muslims in new diversity recruitment campaign”
A new recruitment campaign launched by the Belgian military wants to encourage people of diverse backgrounds to join the army’s ranks, with a special focus put on drawing in people of the Islamic faith…
https://www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/62425/belgian-army-targets-mulsims-in-new-recruitment-campaign-imam-army-belgian-defence/
So imagine this same awful story above–only reinforced by an Islam-friendly military dictatorship. Not such a good idea…

islam is a cancer and must be eradicated–biden is weak hence hamas kicking off

When the tables are turned will the courts protect the non muslims like they do the muslims

Obviously not–here they are jailing them.

Presumably – in Belgium – the Little Pigs who warned about the Big Bad Wolf were guilty of spreading lupophobia. lol

You would have to be a piece of wood to not see Islam is a threat and conquesting.How blind is society?Every single day all one reads about is Islam and the misery and death that comes with it.Any Western leader who promotes Islam is a traitor and enemy who needs immediate removal,period.Things keep up the way it’s going,the future is dark.Mark these words.
adrijaco says
Just six months?
Belgian judges are so linient.
Clive Delmonte says
If Ayatollah Khamenei ever takes over in Belgium I hope he is as lenient with protestors.
adrijaco says
lenient !
Walter Sieruk says
It’s outrageous and wrong that this court condemned those Belgium patriots for exposing the truth and opposing the brutal and cruel Sharia law.
For in truly just system, the court would condemned those stealth jihadists who are attempting to infiltrate ,subvert a Western nation with its Western laws and replace those laws with the Sharia law of Islam.
In addition, in the Bible it is written “Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent – the Lord detests them both.” Proverbs 17:15. [N.I.V.]
JohnTheRevelator says
Unfortunately a lot of these judges have their high paying cushy jobs and they don’t care to educate themselves about Islam.
They see some placards and immediately conclude those holding them are the bad guys. No investigation into their claims, no reasoned discussion, just lock them up.
This is what a soft Sharia state looks like. Wait till Islam takes over and the judges are Muslims, then it’ll go from 6 mths to 20 years in jail and/or a death sentence.
The war is already here-many non-Muslim ignoramuses are siding with the enemy. This is similar to being in a plane that’s been hijacked by terrorists. the smart brave people want to stop them while the cowardly traitors stop the heroes and tell them ‘if you cooperate everything will be fine,’ until you fly into a building.
People need to protest these judges’ decision and demand they be removed office. Freedom of speech is a universal right. As Sam Harris once said, ‘all we have is conversation or violence.’ If we cannot talk about our problems, then the only option remaining will be the use of force.

Belgium: Protesters get six months in prison for ‘Stop Islamization’ banner
……………….
Just grotesque. Is Belgium now officially *for* Islamizing their formerly civilized nation?
What do they like best about the horrors of Shari’ah? Forced veiling, as on the banner? How about flogging and stonings?
Perhaps crushing of freedom of speech–since this is obviously what they are doing here. Just appalling miscarriage of justice. I can’t believe this is happening in the West.

“… appalling miscarriage of justice. I can’t believe this is happening in the West.”
True.
And what is more alarming is that this behavior appears to be accelerating…

Grimly true, James. I thought I was beyond being shocked–but things are getting so much worse so fast.

“According to the criminal court in Mechelen…

Note to Mechelin court—looks like it already does.

Sadly spot on, GreekEmpress.
somehistory says
And yet, that is exactly what islam is all about as practiced by the mozlums.
mozlums are all about “instilling fear”….through terror, through lawfare, and creating the idea that islam will “dominate” every nation, every place, the entire race of humankind.
somehistory says
This account reminds me of the travel ban that Mr. Trump tried to impose on several countries….some of them mozlum, all of them with a record of violence and trouble-making.
The mozlums and their supporters made the claim that it was a “mozlum ban”….knowing full well that it was not, the Courts blocked the travel ban until finally, Mr. Trump succeeded in his efforts. Of course, as soon as biden finagled his way into power, he undid the travel ban.
These people in Belgium see the handwriting on the wall and they understand what is written there….mozlums are taking over, they are islamizing every place where they set foot. The severe slave clothing of the females in the cult are a means and a symbol of what is happening.
The women in Sweden have been told to cover up if they don’t want to be raped by mozlum gangs. Soon, the women in Belgium will be told the same. Belgium is one of the places from which those who bombed and knifed people in France, came.
Westman says
“Bye, bye, Belgium”, sounds like a catchy song title.
Belgium is adding about 50,300 people to the population every year. World Population Review: ) ¥”This low population growth rate is good for a country that is already fairly densely populated.” Yeah, sure. Belgium has a net migration of about 48,000 per year and a fertility rate of 1.71 births per woman. Uhh, let’s see 48,000/50,300 means that 95.4 % of Begium’s growth is, “immigration”. Those new families will have, say, 5 kids while the natives will have one.
The average Begium age is 41.9 years. Belgium, bye, bye, hello Belgiumstan.

In the mean time in the middle of Dam square in Amsterdam Muslim mothers teach their children to spit on Israeli flags and express their hatred, as the video shows on this Dutch website:

tim gallagher says
I find this sentence extraordinarily severe. 6 months jail. To me that is absolutely unbelievable. I despair of so many of our western countries. I think the populations, and, of course the judiciary and governments, of many western countries are going to wake up far too late to islam’s vile and barbaric nature. All this tolerance is one way. Our countries protect the Muslim enemy while, in the usual intolerant Muslim way, non-Muslims are treated like crap in all Muslim run countries.
adrijaco says
lenient !

Hopefully next time they employ a more aggressive defence lawyer, rather than a “displeased” lawyer.

Let the truth be known about Islam – what the group has stated is factually correct that Islam – when fully implemented – will suppresses women subjugate non-moslems and take us all back to the 7th century
The West needs to limit the entry of those whose values go against those of the openness and freedoms of the West,
David Foot says
The French military are right, it is going to be civil war, the only alternative to fight for our countries in Europe is the total destruction of Europe. Our choice.
The only real way to stop the refugees is to restore the Empires which the Marxists destroyed.
In the case of the UK with the Marxist landslide of 1945, many successful colonies like Rhodesia were sent to the wall by the Marxists. Now Rhodesia is the Refugee Manufacturing Plant of Zimbabwe which feeds nobody not even themselves, they used to be the “breadbasket of Africa” before the Marxists destroyed the Empire, they also partitioned India. They partitioned the entire British Empire, even so the strongest and best colonies survived and are some of the best places on the planet, people are prepared to risk their lives and their children’s lives to get in to these places of the old Empire.
The Marxists never stop, in the 1997 landslide they even split the United Kingdom itself and soaked our Kingdom with Labour voting migrants who bring their laws for us to obey under pain of death.
Freedom of speech here only for Moslems, they can say what they like about us and publish that but if we make a cartoon of the Moslem politician who said these terrible things of us we get clobbered and we have to shut up! We have no sovereignty only the invading Moslems have that. Our Prime Minister says that they are not invaders!
Hoi Polloi says
“radical-right group, Voorpost, sentenced for inciting hate and violence”…. by opposing imprisonment of women in their own homes, rules to make rape permissible and commonplace, institution of marriage of female infants, forced and restricted speech and religion, and all the rest. And that’s the responsibility of the “radical right” now?
Well, well. Just look at leftists openly admitting what they are.
OLD GUY says
You simply have to realize that muslim/islamic men are superior to everyone else as they have been taught from childhood. Muhammad tells them so. Allowing islamic migrants into non-islamic countries is like committing suicide for your society and culture. Muslim migration is the beginning of the islamic dictatorship domination of the world
Andrew Blackadder says
However any muslim group can march through the streets of Belgium screaming allo snackbar and telling us they will take over.
You think Im joking, there is today in Belgium, a Political Party known as… The Islam Party… they have told us, loudly and very clearly, that their main platform is to turn Belgium into an islamic country and that sharia will be the Law of the Land… for everybody.
Now remember that the HQ of the EU is in the Capital City of Belgium, Brussels, so, if this Islam Party gets the main seat in Brussels that may also be what will happen to the EU, though the way in which the EU is handling the invasion of muslims coming across the Med, they may just welcome Europe becoming islamic, which will end all those Nude Beaches and Saunas, Festivals in the Summer Time, Christmas Markets, Bars and Clubs, women walking around looking like “uncovered meat” as one scholar so clearly said., not to mention Rock N Roll Concerts… I said not to mention… oh never mind…
allah aint akbar, hes just a naughty naughty boy…
libertyORdeath says
“Stop Islamization” is about as much a call for violence as telling people to peacefully protest and make their voices heard.
What a disgrace to free expression.
David M says
This is outrageous, 6 months prison for trying to preserve their country. The only people in prison should be the globalist leftists who sent them to jail & are destroying the country.
