Elforkani justifies his demand by creating a false equivalence: “when our Jewish brothers are attacked, it quickly becomes anti-Semitism and that is not allowed.” Where in the Netherlands or in Europe at large is criticism of Jews prohibited? Meanwhile, some of Elforkani’s Muslim brothers in the Netherlands have engaged in viciously anti-Semitic rhetoric, as well […]
Netherlands: Muslim who left fake bomb at kosher restaurants gets eight months prison
If Hassan N. had been a non-Muslim leaving a fake bomb at a halal restaurant, which should never happen, would he have gotten such a lenient sentence? What do you think? “Eight months in prison for leaving fake bomb at Amsterdam kosher restaurant,” by Janene Pieters, NL Times, August 29, 2020 (thanks to Henry): Hassan […]
Netherlands: Mosque’s neighbors complain of loudness of call to prayer on loudspeakers, mosque says “get used to it”
Just so you know who’s in charge now. But note the contrast: the non-Muslims allowed the broadcast of the call to prayer over loudspeakers as a welcoming gesture to Muslims. And this is how they are being repaid. “The Netherlands: Mosque says ‘get used to it’ to citizens who complain about prayer calls,” by Michael […]
Netherlands: Muslim migrant smashes windows of kosher restaurant in Amsterdam for second time
“Ali was convicted of vandalism after 52 days behind bars while awaiting trial, but he was released without further penalty.” What will they do now? Put him in jail for another couple of months? And what will they do to disabuse him of his Islamic antisemitism? Why, nothing. Any such action would be “Islamophobic.” But […]
Netherlands: Man who murdered pro-freedom politician Pim Fortuyn “to protect Muslims” is a free man, no supervision
Van der Graaf explained that he murdered Fortuyn, a Leftist politician who was smeared as “far right” for opposing mass Muslim migration into the Netherlands on human rights grounds, “to protect Muslims.” What will van der Graaf do to protect them now? “Volkert van der Graaf officially a completely free man again,” translated from “Volkert […]
Turkey deports two Islamic State jihadis back to their home country: the Netherlands
Even the Turkish government wants no part of the West’s newest export: jihadis. “Ankara deports two foreign nationals to Netherlands for terror links,” Anadolu Agency, December 29, 2019: Turkey deported two foreign terrorist fighters back to their countries, the Netherlands, the Interior Ministry said on Dec. 28…. The statement did not specify which terror group […]
“People still associate ‘Allahu akbar’ with violence, while many visitors to our mosque experience it as meditative”
“Because of international terrorism, people still associate ‘Allāhu akbar’ with violence or misery.” Indeed. Even today. And those people are often Muslims themselves. But will that tolerance be reciprocated once Sharia-adherent Muslims are in charge in Amsterdam? Islamic law forbids churches to ring bells. Imagine the embarrassment of Amsterdam officials when their church bells are […]
Netherlands: 500 jihadists active in the country, jihad preachers have increasing influence in education
It isn’t hard to see what the near future of the Netherlands will look like. But to notice would be “Islamophobic,” and measures taken to enforce the principle that all those in Netherlands are subject to the same law absolutely out of the question. “Radical preachers have increasing influence in Dutch education, intelligence service warns,” […]
Netherlands: Muslim migrant who was “reading the Qur’an a lot” stabs Jewish father and son
The father responded “I don’t know” when asked whether it was an anti-Semitic incident. But what about that Qu’ran he was reading? The Qur’an demonizes the Jews in numerous ways. It depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity […]
Netherlands: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” claims to have bomb at airport, terminal evacuated on New Year’s Eve
He apparently didn’t actually have a bomb, but that could be because his objective was only to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). #BREAKING: Police cordon off parts of Schiphol airport’s Terminal 3 in Amesterdam after a man claimed he has a bomb. Additional unconfirmed reports state he shouted "Allahu akbar" Bomb […]
Netherlands: School replaces Easter tradition with celebration of Islamic Sugar Holiday
The “Islamic Sugar Holiday” is decidedly off-brand; the two primary Islamic celebrations, and the only ones that some Muslims say are legitimate, are Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. But it isn’t hard to see where this is tending. What holidays will this school be celebrating in ten years? Or fifty years? What Islamic hero will […]
Netherlands: Seven Muslims arrested for plotting “major terror attack with suicide vests, assault rifles, car bombs”
Time for the Dutch government to undertake a new study of how to combat “Islamophobia.” “Dutch police arrest seven men plotting ‘major terror attack with suicide vests, assault rifles and car bombs – masterminded by Iraqi arrested last year for trying to fight with ISIS,’” by Rory Tingle, Mailonline, September 27, 2018: Dutch police have […]
Netherlands: Judge gives light sentence to Muslim migrant who raped girl so he wouldn’t lose his residence permit
What could possibly go wrong? Surely Zaman S. will now become a loyal, stable, productive member of Dutch society. Won’t he? “Afghan rapes mentally disabled girl, judge gives him light sentence so he can stay,” translated from “Afghaan verkracht zwakbegaafd meisje, rechter straft licht zodat hij kan blijven,” The Post Online, September 18, 2018: A […]
Netherlands: Amsterdam’s mayor says she will close mosques where imams spread hate but only “as a last resort”
What will she do before closing them down remains unclear. Still, Femke Halsema should be congratulated and supported even for going this far. Few, if any, other mayors in Europe have made similar statements. “Amsterdam’s mayor says closing mosques where imams sow hate is ‘a last resort,’” Dutch News, September 17, 2018 (thanks to The Religion […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Jawed Santani, Thin-Skinned In Amsterdam
The latest act of Islamic terrorism took place in the Central Railroad Station in the heart of Amsterdam. There, one Jawed Santani, a 19-year-old Afghan, currently a resident of Germany, stabbed, in an attempt to murder, two tourists. They happened to be Americans, but he was not out to kill Americans — any Infidels would […]
Muslim migrant says he stabbed two American tourists in Amsterdam because of “insults to Islam”
The worst aspect of this is that many, many people in the West will read that the Muslim migrant stabbed people because of “repeated insults to God, the Koran and Islam’s Prophet Mohammed,” and will conclude that we simply must not insult Allah, the Qur’an, and Muhammad. Few, and still fewer in positions of power, […]
Netherlands: Muslim migrant with “terrorist motive” targeted American tourists for stabbing
This conforms with a longstanding call from ISIS. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. […]
Netherlands: Muslim migrant stabs two people at Amsterdam railway station, cops say terror “possible motive”
Celebrate diversity! The two victims are Americans. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Did A Holocaust Survivor Convert to Islam In Amsterdam?
A curious story about a supposed Dutch Jewish convert to Islam appeared in early May. For it was on May 4 that the imam at the Blue Mosque in Amsterdam claimed to have converted a Holocaust survivor to Islam. That survivor was identified by the cleric as an 87-year-old man, described as a “Jewish aristocrat,” one […]
Amsterdam kosher restaurant attacked by Muslim in December is vandalized again
There is no doubt who is behind this. “And there are weekly incidents of someone spitting on the restaurant, or making anonymous phone calls. ‘Then they shout “Palestine free” or “Allah Akbar”. They sometimes keep calling, but then I just hang up again and again.’” Is the Netherlands diverse enough yet? Apparently not: “Bar-on previously […]
