Sharia4Belgium Threatens To Kill Geert Wilders, Demands Sharia For All

Sharia4Holland lashes out

Geert Wilders filed a complaint, according to the police. On Friday a speaker [for Sharia4Holland] on the Dam in Amsterdam called Wilders “this dog of the Romans” with whom “we will deal with” once The Netherlands has become a Muslim state. Also he advised to take warning “from the case Theo van Gogh”.

Sharia4Holland wants to implement sharia law in The Netherlands.

Police in Amsterdam-Amstelland and the public prosecutor started on Saturday their investigation of statements made by members of Shariah4Holland.

Earlier, on Sunday, VVD faction leader in Amsterdam Robert Flos critiqued the police for their performance [rather the lack of] during that speech at the National Monument. On AT5 TV station he said it was strange that the police did not act when speakers made death threats towards Wilders, which according to Flos [and the law] is a criminal offense.

The police did arrest a bystander, who tried to act. They rough-handed him while taking him away. Flos said he was shocked that “next to our monument such a message of un-freedom is preached”. According to AT5, Flos will ask questions of Mayor Eberhard van der Laan.

The Myth Of Soaring Muslim Fertility Rates

It is considered common wisdom among Western analysts that Muslim countries are plagued with large families and ever-swelling masses of young people are a threat to stability. Only problem is all the hard evidence to the contrary.

By Anna Lietti – March 31st, 2012

This story starts with a myth. It is the myth that the Muslim world is uniformly dedicated to making many (too many) babies, and that this has gone on for centuries.

This mythology also has its very own Bible:  “Factors Affecting Muslim Natality,” by Dudley Kirk, an American professor of Population Studies. Published in 1965, this study embodied, scientifically speaking, the notion of a demography unique to Muslim countries that won’t transition to a family model with two children, as it did in the Western world.

Kirk’s theories have influenced this debate in a lasting way. Thirty years later, they were still inspiring Samuel Huntington in his work “The Clash of Civilizations,” where he presents his theory of an eternal conflict between the West and Islam. The demographic threat plays a central role in his thesis.

Demography Is Destiny in Syria

By Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi & Oskar Svadkovsky on February 6, 2012

The “peripheralism” and Malthusian underpinnings of an unexpected uprising.

Among the second wave of Arab Spring uprisings that followed Tunisia, Syria was the most spectacular “out of the blue” that suddenly arose in the face of the media and analytic community. Just days before Deraa exploded with protests last March, some analysts were still scrutinizing Syria’s circumstances and declaring the country to be immune from the Arab Spring. Nor did reporters who visited the country spot signs of a brewing storm.

In fact, throughout the Arab Spring, the media and experts repeatedly fell into the same trap of confusing the capital city with the whole country. On the eve of the Islamist landslide in Egypt’s elections various polls and informed individuals were putting the popularity of radical Salafis at between 5% and 10%. The Salafis have indeed won about 10% of the vote… but only in Cairo. Nationwide they took almost 30%, beating even those unrepentant pessimists who were betting on a Muslim Brotherhood spring. In some provinces they grabbed all of 50%.

America’s Demographic Future

by Joel Kotkin and Erica Ozuna – January 28, 2012

Perhaps nothing has more defined America and its promise than immigration. In the future, immigration and the consequent development of what Walt Whitman (1855: iv) called “a race of races” will remain one of the country’s greatest assets in the decades to come.

At a time when anti-immigrant fervor has been building, a number of states—including Arizona, Georgia, and Alabama—have enacted draconian laws aimed at apprehending undocumented immigrants. Those laws are widely seen even among legal immigrants and long-term residents as hostile to immigrants. Indeed, newcomers are already leaving those states. This Latino exodus has been happening in once-thriving neighborhoods in Gwinnett and Cobb counties in Georgia—as shown in business closures, arrest statistics, and declining church attendance—caused both by the economy and the increased immigration enforcement (Simmons 2010). Nationwide, there has been a declining number of unauthorized immigrants living in the United States, a decrease of 1 million from 2007 (Hoefer, Rytina, and Baker 2011).

Muslim demographics: Pull and push factors

by Nicolai Sennels on April 1, 2012

In Denmark, 89.1 percent of Muslims vote on the Left. In France the number is 95 percent. And certainly this tendency is the same all over the West. Thus Muslim immigration is in fact the importation of votes for the Left. Therefore it is not surprising that Leftist parties are the ones that work hardest to open our borders to more non-Western immigration. They burden their own countries with weak immigrants from a less civilized culture in order to secure their own reelection. They invite people to our part of the world who have many children and are only able to manage few kinds of jobs, and who will therefore always vote for the socialists.

While our states and municipalities spend billions of Euros, Kroners and Pounds on immigrants, the rest of us have to pay more and more in taxes.

Re-Engineering Humans: An Old Solution to Climate Change

March 29, 2012 – by Ed Driscoll

It’s no coincidence that global warming took off as an issue just as the Soviet Union fell; it’s top-down centralized government’s last best hope of controlling the masses. And like other forms of totalitarian worldviews, it doubles as a religion as well, as Czech President Vaclav Klaus noted late last year:

“I’m convinced that after years of studying the phenomenon, global warming is not the real issue of temperature,” said Klaus, an economist by training. “That is the issue of a new ideology or a new religion. A religion of climate change or a religion of global warming. This is a religion which tells us that the people are responsible for the current, very small increase in temperatures. And they should be punished.”

With Europe desperately trying to stabilize the Greek crisis, today Nigel Farage told King World News that despite European leaders pretending everything is okay, there is total denial and the ceiling is falling in. He also said the Germans and Swiss want their gold back. But first, here is what Farage had to say about the ongoing crisis in Greece: “It was very odd, I mean we had Mr. Van Rompuy, President of the European Council and Mr. Barroso, the Commission President, in Parliament this morning and it was remarkable. Two speeches from the two big bosses, both saying everything is absolutely wonderful. We have no difficulties at all and the recent Greek agreement has all gone off very smoothly. There is absolutely nothing to worry about.”

It was a few hours after the announcement of the result in the Feltham and Heston byelection and, despite speculation that Ukip could overtake the Lib Dems, Clegg’s party hung on to third place.

How Muslim immigration has transformed European politics

By Bruce Bawer – October 16, 2011

The mass immigration of Muslims into Western Europe over the last four decades or so was a project of elite mainstream politicians, most of them left-wing, who never consulted the electorate on whether they thought this project was a good idea or not. Motivated by a multicultural sensibility (and, in most cases, an invincible ignorance about Islam), these politicians felt compelled not to try to integrate these newcomers, but encouraged them, rather, to preserve their cultural values, however at odds they might be with Western ideas of freedom and equality. For many years there was little organized public resistance to the increasing Islamization of Europe. But then, around a decade ago, things reached a breaking point.

Killing and the Koran

By Bruce Bawer – October 17, 2011

Muslims have been persecuting Christians ever since the time of Muhammed. But in the wake of the so-called “Arab Spring,” such activity seems to be on the rise throughout much of the Islamic world, now that Muslims in several countries are enjoying greater freedom to do things they felt more restrained from doing before. Christians are being beaten and murdered, churches attacked and destroyed.

If there is a positive side of this terrible development, it is this: if there’s more such persecution going on, more attention is finally being paid to it in the mainstream Western media. Yet even as some of the media are daring to report on these events, there remains a strong disinclination to suggest that this pattern of persecution has anything whatsoever to do with Islam.

German Multiculturalists Declare War on Critics of Islam

by Soeren Kern – October 3, 2011

The German government is debating whether to increase surveillance of German citizens who are trying to prevent the spread of radical Islam in Germany.

The move comes in reaction to a three-week-long smear campaign by members of the German mainstream media, who have been relentless in their efforts to discredit the so-called counter-jihad movement in Germany.

Opinion polls show that growing numbers of Germans are worried about the consequences of decades of multicultural policies that have encouraged mass immigration from Muslim countries.

Europe’s Underestimated Islamists

by Ian Johnson – Fall 2011

In early 1959, a small West German intelligence operation stumbled over a sensational find: U.S. collusion with the Muslim Brotherhood. According to the West German sources—two ex-Wehrmacht soldiers who were in Washington’s pay but still felt loyalty to their old German bosses—Washington was supporting one of the Brotherhood’s top men, the Geneva-based Said Ramadan, son-in-law of the movement’s founder Hassan al-Banna, in the hope of using him in the global battle against communism. The U.S. double-agents wanted to know if the West Germans would also help support Ramadan.

Bonn’s response was an unequivocal “no”: not because of ethical qualms about doing business with the Brotherhood but because of practical considerations. “Ramadan doesn’t possess the slightest influence in the Orient,” read an evaluation by the head of the West German intelligence operation, Gerhard von Mende. “A connection with him would only yield negative consequences.”

A Third of Immigrant Children are ‘Problem Children’ in German Schools

Around a third of the immigrant children living in Germany have problems in school. Educational researchers Ahmet Toprak und Aladin El Mafaalani [of Turkish and Syrian extraction] have now investigated the reasons for their poor performance and disciplinary difficulties on behalf of the Konrad Adenauer Institute. Their behaviour to now has been “irritating, disconcerting and socially undesirable,” it says in their study about “Muslim children and youths in Germany.”

According to the analysis of the authors, lack of success in school is due to a number of cultural and familial factors. One relates to the early childhood upbringing. While German parents generally know that the basis for success in school is found at home, in families of Turkish origin no “pre-education” in line with school requirements takes place. They pay little attention to the development of the linguistic, motor and cognitive abilities of their children to prepare for school. Displaying a helpless trust in authority, they rely on schools to teach their children what they need to know. They barely know the education and training system, write the authors, overestimate the function of the school and renounce their own educational responsiblity for successful learning. Because that is what they know from their countries of origin: “There what children learn is up to the teacher alone. Parents never get involved in the school’s education,” says Mafaalani, who is an educational researcher and also a teacher himself.

October 14, 2008: The Day the Economy as We Knew It Died

Hank Paulson’s “gun to the head” hijacking of TARP, and the sickening silence which followed.

October 14, 2011 – by Tom Blume

Almost everyone who believes in the Constitution and free markets properly considers October 3, 2008, one of the darkest days in U.S. history. It was on that day that the “Emergency Economic Stabilization Act” creating the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) became law. A day later, I wrote that law’s passage, accompanied by tactics and threats which amounted to orchestrated blackmail, over the strident objections of over 150 economists from across the political spectrum, only days after its initial voter-driven failure, proved that Washington’s politicians and elites “don’t care what we think.”

Abhorrent as it was, the sickening saga of TARP’s enactment was nothing compared to what transpired less than two weeks later.

Everyone’s understanding of the legislation — at least publicly expressed — was that it would, quoting from the bill’s text, authorize the Treasury Department “to purchase, and to make and fund commitments to purchase, troubled assets.” Specifically identified “troubled assets” included:

Immigrants Want Cross Removed from Swiss Flag

by Soeren Kern – September 26, 2011

An immigrant group based in Bern has called for the emblematic white cross to be removed from the Swiss national flag because as a Christian symbol it “no longer corresponds to today’s multicultural Switzerland.”

Ivica Petrusic, the vice president of Second@s Plus, a lobbying group that represents mostly Muslim second-generation foreigners in Switzerland (who colloquially are known as secondos) says the group will launch a nationwide campaign in October to ask Swiss citizens to consider adopting a flag that is less offensive to Muslim immigrants.

In a September 18 interview with the Swiss newspaper Aargauer Zeitung, Petrusic said the cross has a Christian background and while the Christian roots of Switzerland should be respected, “it is necessary to separate church and state” because “Switzerland today has a great religious and cultural diversity. One has to ask if the State wants to continue building up a symbol in which many people no longer believe.”

Durban III: An Anti-Israel Forum Takes Shape

Sep 8, 2011 • By Anne Bayefsky

At the U.N. in New York, diplomats have been putting the finishing touches on a new “anti-racism” declaration set to be adopted by over a hundred world leaders at the annual opening of the General Assembly. The declaration will be the culmination of the one-day summit on September 22, known as “Durban III,” after the original 2001 racist “anti-racism” debacle held in Durban, South Africa. To date, nine states, including the U.S., Israel and Canada, have decided to boycott Durban III, and with two weeks to go, the question is whether more democratic states will follow their lead in light of the dangerous manifesto now before them.

On September 22, the U.N. General Assembly will feature speeches from the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, Navi Pillay – a major supporter of Durban III – and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is poised to deliver his usual anti-Semitic tirade under the General Assembly’s banner. Along with these speeches, get ready for a major assault on human rights: The Durban Declaration charges Israel – and only Israel, among 192 U.N. nations – with racism. The declaration is a reincarnation of the “Zionism is racism” libel, and it is about to be catapulted to new heights if Pillay, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and willing collaborators in the developing world’s G-77 get their way.

In what turned out to be a vigorous debate, the issues of farm subsidies, loss of political sovereignty, the effect of free movement of people caused by the Schengen Agreement and other aspects of EU membership were discussed.

Our cosmic climate

Lawrence Solomon – Sep 2, 2011

The 20-year-long global warming debate is in its final stages, the controversy having been settled over whether manmade causes such as carbon dioxide or natural causes such as the Sun dominate climate change on Earth.

First, the global warming doomsayers lost the argument in the court of public opinion — barely one-third of the U.S. public, for example, now believes that human activity can lead to dangerous warming.

The Other Climate Theory

The politics behind cosmic rays

By Anne Jolis  – September 7, 2011

In April 1990, Al Gore published an open letter in the New York Times “To Skeptics on Global Warming” in which he compared them to medieval flat-Earthers. He soon became vice president and his conviction that climate change was dominated by man-made emissions went mainstream. Western governments embarked on a new era of anti-emission regulation and poured billions into research that might justify it. As far as the average Western politician was concerned, the debate was over.

But a few physicists weren’t worrying about Al Gore in the 1990s. They were theorizing about another possible factor in climate change: charged subatomic particles from outer space, or “cosmic rays,” whose atmospheric levels appear to rise and fall with the weakness or strength of solar winds that deflect them from the earth. These shifts might significantly impact the type and quantity of clouds covering the earth, providing a clue to one of the least-understood but most important questions about climate. Heavenly bodies might be driving long-term weather trends.

CLOUD Rains on Climate Theory

By James Delingpole on Sep. 02, 2011

“It’s the sun, stupid.” This was the excited conclusion many readers drew from a recent much-read blogpost of mine about the latest results from the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The story concerned a major experiment called CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) and seemed to confirm everything that the world’s growing band of “skeptics” would dearly love to hear: that the sun, not man-made CO2 is by far the most important factor in “Climate Change.”

Actually, though, the story’s more complicated than that. And, in many ways, more interesting. Yes, the experiment did lend encouraging credence to the theory by the Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark that solar radiation may play a significant role in seeding the clouds which warm (and cool) the planet. But what it didn’t do was prove anything except that this is a promising area and that more research needs to be done.

The sun shines some light on global warming orthodoxy

Lorne Gunter – Sep 1, 2011

Suppose an ossuary – an ancient burial box – containing the skeletal remains of Jesus of Nazareth was discovered. Its contents would prove a challenge to the central fact of Christianity, that Jesus was god made man who ascended to Heaven whole – bones and all – after his crucifixion.

That would be big news, right? The significance of it would be debated in religious circles around the world, as well as in newspapers and on 24/7 news channels. Or it would be, if the remains didn’t come under the control of some Christian organization whose leaders had a vested interest in suppressing reports about the discovery.

Alarmists Got it Wrong, Humans Not Responsible for Climate Change: CERN

By IBTimes Staff Reporter | September 1, 2011

Global warming and climate change are phenomena that broke the bonds of scientific circles to emerge as a matter of debate between “believers” and “skeptics.” Countless studies validating and denying global warming have seen the light of the day, providing fodder for more, often somewhat bitter debates. Within the past month, Nobel Prize winner and leading climate change “alarmist” Al Gore has called those who deny global warming akin to “racists,” and “pseudo-scientists,” and accused media of manipulating evidence about global warming.

Research findings published by none other than CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in the journal Nature which holds cosmic rays and the Sun, not human activities, responsible for global warming, isn’t exactly what Gore would welcome right now.

Den globale opvarmning hæmmer sig selv

Af Sybille Hildebrandt – 7. september 2011

Arktis varmer langsommere end forventet. Den globale opvarmning føder nogle vejrfænomener, der holder temperaturen nede. Det viser nye omfattende analyser af satellitdata, der netop er fremlagt i Oslo.

Robert Spencer Remarks for September 3 Rally in Berlin

By Robert Spencer – September 1, 2011

I’m a bit ill and have thus reluctantly had to forgo my planned trip to Germany for a Freedom Party rally in Berlin on September 3. I am very sorry not to be able to be there, as I had been very much looking forward to standing with the great freedom fighters René Stadtkewitz, Geert Wilders, and Oskar Freysinger.

Here is the speech I had planned to give at the event:

Thank you. It is a great honor for me to be here in the company of René Stadtkewitz, Geert Wilders, and Oskar Freysinger. If humane values prevail in Europe, historians of our time will record that these three men were heroes of freedom, defenders of human rights, and warriors against tyranny and the oppression of the human spirit.

Bat Ye’or & Frank Gaffney – September 1, 2011

From Secure Freedom Radio:  Bat Ye’or: Blasphemy, Dhimmitude & the Great Civilizational Struggle

Today on Secure Freedom Radio Frank is joined by author and political commentator Bat Ye’or for a full hour to discuss the Muslim world, “Eurabia,” dhimmitude, universal rights and much more. The Cairo-born refugee, who know resides in Geneva, Switzerland, briefs her new book Europe, Globalization, and the Coming of the Universal Caliphate and informs on the “great civilizational struggle” at hand in Europe and around the world. Ms. Ye’or first popularized the term Eurabia to describe the creeping Islamification of the continent as politicians have sought to create a synergy between the Arab and European worlds. From first hand experience growing up in Egypt, Ye’or warns against this growing trend as she has seen the cruel treatment of Jews and Christians in Arab nations.

Ms. Ye’or continues and provides the complete definition of dhimmitude, the practice of forcing non-Muslims in adherence to Muslim law and practices.  Ye’or, a scholar of the subject for years, explains the history of Islamic Jurisprudence based on the doctrine that the Infidel has no right to exist.  Guided by this belief, the Jizya, a tax on Infidels, is administered.  “You have to pay to buy back your right to live,” say Ye’or. Dhimmitude is against the biblical prescription, she says, which attaches the right to life to the human being.  She then explains how Blasphemy laws and hate speech legislation are providing the same effect of dhimmitude in Europe, in which all are subjected to the sensitivities of Islam.

Finally, Bat Ye’or explains the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) vision for a new global caliphate.  She asserts that many Muslims are in fact at the forefront against the Islamification of the West, but out of fear of persecution and apostate labels are silenced. Governments must support these groups, she says, and not those aligned with the OIC’s goals, including those on the Left. It is the “duty of every person who lives in a democracy” to debate these issues, says Ye’or, and fight for universal human rights and against this growing tide.

Bat Ye’or’s 2005 Eurabia: the Euro-Arab Axis portrayed Western Europe’s recrudescent dhimmitude, chronicled in real time, by our most informed contemporary scholar of the dhimmi condition. Living as an eyewitness in Geneva — a major European center, with its United Nations, NGOs and other international fora — Bat Ye’or described in painstaking detail, the ongoing transformation of Europe into “Eurabia,” a cultural and political appendage of the Arab/Muslim world.

Now, a mere six years later, in her newly released Europe, Globalization, and the Coming Universal Caliphate, Bat Ye’or updates her analysis to demonstrate how Western Europe’s ongoing, morally grotesque Eurabian metamorphosis is actively advancing — via the United Nations, in particular — Islam’s eternal quest for earthly domination under the Sharia, i.e., a global Caliphate.
