Radical Islam taking  over Europe & West 

Update:

March 10, 2009

The West stands by idly as its foundations are rent asunder.

 * Caroline Glick in the JP

Last Friday the UN’s Human Rights Council took a direct swipe at freedom of expression. In a 32-0 vote, the council instructed its “expert on freedom of expression” to report to the council on all instances in which individuals “abuse” their freedom of speech by giving expression to racial or religious bias.

The measure was proposed by paragons of freedom Egypt and Pakistan. It was supported by all Arab, Muslim and African countries – founts of liberty one and all. European states abstained.

The US, which is not a member of the Human Rights Council, tried to oppose the measure. In a speech before the council, US Ambassador to the UN in Geneva Warren Tichenor warned that the resolution’s purpose is to undermine freedom of expression because it imposes “restrictions on individuals rather than emphasiz[ing] the duty and responsibility of governments to guarantee, uphold, promote and protect human rights.”

By seeking to criminalize free speech, the resolution stands in breach of the UN’s Declaration of Human Rights. Article 19 of that document states explicitly: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”

The Europeans’ decision to abstain rather than oppose the measure seems, at first glance, rather surprising. Given that the EU member states are among the UN’s most emphatic champions, it would have seemed normal for them to have opposed a resolution that undermines one of the UN’s foundational documents, and indeed, one of the most basic tenets of Western civilization.

But then again, given the EU’s stands in recent years against freedom of expression, there really is nothing to be surprised about. The EU’s current bow to intellectual thuggery is of course found in its response to the Internet release of Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders’ film Fitna.

The EU has gone out of its way to attack Wilders for daring to exercise his freedom of expression. The EU’s presidency released a statement condemning the film for “inflaming hatred.” Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende issued statements claiming that the film “serves no other purpose than to cause offense.”

Then, too, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon blasted the film as “offensively anti-Islamic.”

These statements follow the EU’s quest to restrict freedom of speech following the 2005 publication of cartoons of Muhammed in Denmark’s Jyllands Posten newspaper. They also come against the backdrop of the systematic silencing of anti-jihadist intellectuals throughout the continent. These intellectuals, such as Peter Redeker in France and Paul Cliteur in the Netherlands, are threatened into silence by European jihadists. And the governments of Europe either do nothing to defend the threatened thinkers or justify the intellectual blackmailers by sympathizing with their anger.

IT IS axiomatic that freedom of expression is the foundation of human freedom and progress. When people are not allowed to express themselves freely, there can be no debate or inquiry. It is only due to free debate and inquiry that humanity has progressed from the Dark Age to the Digital Age. This is why the first act of every would-be tyrant is to take control of the marketplace of ideas.

Yet today, the nations of Europe and indeed much of the Western world, either sit idly by and do nothing to defend that freedom or collaborate with unfree and often tyrannical Islamic states and terrorists in silencing debate and stifling dissent.

Wyoming lawsuit: Prison mealtime violates Muslim inmates’ freedom of religion

Spencer:

They cannot bend to prison practice (although actually there are provisions in Islamic law that would allow them to adapt). Rather, the prison has to bend to them. This is all part of the larger stealth jihad initiative in the U.S., about which I am writing a book: the attempt to get the U.S. to become accustomed to accommodating Sharia — a road that will lead either to the end of that accommodation, or else to America’s becoming a Sharia state. But there is no stopping point within Sharia itself beyond which the demands will not advance.

“Wyo. Lawsuit Alleges Prison Mealtime Violates Muslim Inmates’ Freedom of Religion,” from AP via JW

The ACLU filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court on behalf of Joseph Miller and Hurie Purdiman Jr., two inmates serving time at the penitentiary in Rawlins.

At issue is an alleged “20-minute rule” requiring inmates to eat their meals within 20 minutes after the food is delivered to a cell or common dining area, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit seeks for the inmates to be exempted from the rule because it forces them to choose between eating and practicing their religion.

* Hugh Fitzgerald comments:

Of course, this all begs the question: is Islam a religion in the sense in which the Framers understood that word, and as we today in the West understand that word? It is much more than a religion. It is a politics. It is a geopolitics. It is a program for, and justification of, world conquest for Islam and for Muslims. That can be found, quite easily, in the texts. Those who keep refusing to examine those texts, or examining the totalitrian nature of Islam, with its system of Total Regulation, and its justification for the mistreatment of all Unbelievers, or Infidels, needs to be understood by those in Congress and by judges, including of course those on the Supreme Court.

UK: Misunderstanders of Islam “exploiting growing prison gang culture”

Convicted Islamist terrorists are exploiting the growing gang culture in top security jails, fuelling fears that they are trying to radicalise other inmates and foment unrest.

The emerging contacts between terrorists and existing gangs in jails is occurring as the Prison Service is expecting a big increase in the number of terrorists it must look after in the next few years. The growing concern among senior Whitehall officials at the danger of Islamist terrorists seeking to radicalise other prisoners in eight top security jails is disclosed in a Ministry of Justice document.

It reveals that officials are looking at whether more high-security prison accommodation and high-security courts will be needed to cope with the predicted number of terrorists being prosecuted. It also outlines worries within the department over the radicalisation of nonterrorist Muslim prisoners and other offenders in the high-security estate.

“The numbers of convicted and suspected terrorists entering the high-security estate is becoming ever higher. Concerns over the effects of radicalisation are growing,” the paper says. “Early work needs to be done to challenge terrorist behaviour and the threat of radicalisation.”

* Hmmm. Wonder why that is? Any idea?

Jihad Means Offensive War to Spread Islam: Osama Bin Laden’s Warning to Europe

Europe needs to wake up, and quickly. The obligatory Islamic warning has been given, the Continent put on notice that unless it agrees to compromise on its liberal lifestyle and legal system, al Qaeda will unleash its Jihadi attackers.

“Europe must either somehow assimilate its burgeoning and increasingly hostile Muslim elements, adopt a draconian program of expulsion and immigration control, or acquiesce to Muslim dominance. “

Knowing the enemy, naming the enemy, and mastering the enemy’s culture, history, ideology, and tactics are essential to meeting and defeating his challenge. Only by frankly facing the Islamic Jihad and resisting every urge to dismiss it as primitive, already defeated, or somehow unequal to modern civilizations such as our own, will we have any chance of prevailing.

Labour: We’ll break up Islamic ghettos

Minister speaks out on ‘no-go’ areas for whites

Muslim ghettos which have become no-go areas for whites must be broken up, Labour will declare today.
In a speech which is set to spark a storm Communities Secretary Hazel Blears will say there is a need to take a hard look at the impact of immigration on cities.
It will be the first time a senior Government minister has called for the break-up of areas dominated by racial or religious groups.

And it follows Church of England Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali attack on Islamic extremists for creating no-go areas across Britain.

Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Commission for Equalities and Human Rights, has also warned Britain is “sleepwalking into segregation”. But Ms Blears risks provoking fury with claims Labour are “pandering to the right” by attacking immigrants.
She will tell the Left-wing Fabian Society: “No neighbourhood should be dominated by one group in ways which make others feel alienated or unsafe.
“We must ensure community cohesion is maintained. No one faith or ethnic group can dominate a locality to the exclusion of all others.”
She went on to say there was “nothing wrong” with unthreatening cultural enclaves, such as traditional China Towns.

* Agreed. China Towns are not centers of subversion.

Ministers are considering cutting funding to community groups based on religion or race and thinking of stopping councils allocating housing along ethnic lines.
They believe both have helped create Muslim “ghettos”, especially in the North. Ms Blears will also attack a growing “apartheid” between the rich and poor – with some areas dominated by millionaires living in gated communities with private security, schools and healthcare.

She will add: “As we build three million new homes, I want to see mixtures of tenure, size of property, and household size.

“We must not create tomorrow’s sink estates or enclaves for the rich.”

Spain ‘needs’ 2 millions foreigners Muslims until 2020

“Immigration: Spain Needs 2 Mln Foreigners Until 2020,” via DW(ANSAmed) – MADRID, APRIL 3 – Spain needs over two million new foreign workers, 157,000 a year, until 2020, according to a study by the Group for Reflection and Proposal on Business and Immigration quoted by ABC daily today. According to the report, the main cause for this need is the ageing of the Spanish population, with a proportion of young people that has decreased twice in the past 25 years and the local universities loosing over 300,000 students until 2015. The percentage of foreign workers, who generate nearly half of the Spanish GDP growth, will grow from the current 20-25% to 35% of the Spanish workforce in 2010. The authors of the report said they would meet the various political parties to try and convince them that the arrival of foreign workers is “an opportunity for the economy” and will call upon the government to adopt a new law on immigration “to facilitate the legal entry, take advantage of the new arrivals and encourage integration”.

* But but but: the immigrants in question are generally being taught to resist assimilation in Europe.

Arabs & Muslims pervert the UN to work against free speech

Islamic countries have succeeded in hijacking the United Nations Human Rights Council and perverting its intent (even more than it was already perverted): Arabs, Muslims battle US, Europeans over free speech at UN. 

GENEVA: Arab and Muslim countries defended Tuesday a resolution they pushed through at the United Nations to have the body’s expert on free speech police individuals and news media for negative comments on Islam.

The United States, Canada and some European countries criticized the role reversal for Kenyan legal expert Ambeyi Ligabo, who has reported to the global body on measures by dictatorships and repressive governments to restrict free speech.

The U.S. and other Western nations warned that the Muslim-backed resolution at the U.N. Human Rights Council could curtail freedom of expression and help dictatorial regimes block dissenting views.

“The resolution adopted attempts to legitimize the criminalization of expression,” said Warren W. Tichenor, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva.

The statement proposed by Egypt and Pakistan, which passed 32-0 last week at the council, seeks to impose “restrictions on individuals rather than to emphasize the duty and responsibility of governments to guarantee, uphold, promote and protect human rights,” Tichenor told the 47-nation body.

The United States is not a member of the council but has the right to speak as an observer. European countries and others abstained from voting last week.

The resolution was the latest move initiated by the Arab and Muslim countries dominating the council to protect Islam from religious hatred and defamation. Islamic groups have been demanding limits on free speech ever since a Danish magazine published caricatures of Muhammad, provoking riots across the Islamic world in 2006.

Muslim countries also have cited the recent release of an anti-Islamic Dutch film and the Pope’s controversial comments on the religion in demanding tighter controls on free expression.

Muslims Leaving Islam in Droves

Pajamas Media

Ex-Muslim Magdi Allam’s very public baptism on Easter Sunday made headlines, but he is just one among legions converting from Islam around the world.

* Magdi Allam Babtism

Pope Benedict’s choice to publicly baptize the most prominent Muslim in Italy, Egyptian-born Magdi Allam, highlights a quiet worldwide exodus from Islam. In recent years, millions have moved on. With this high-profile action, Pope Benedict demonstratively blesses this massive conversion from the highest levels of the Church.

Interviewed by al-Jazeera in 2006, Ahmad al-Qataani, leader of the Companions Lighthouse for the Science of Islamic Law in Libya, explains the decline:

Islam used to represent … Africa’s main religion and there were 30 African languages that used to be written in Arabic script. The number of Muslims in Africa has diminished to 316 million, half of whom are Arabs in North Africa. So in the section of Africa that we are talking about, the non-Arab section, the number of Muslims does not exceed 150 million people. When we realize that the entire population of Africa is one billion people, we see that the number of Muslims has diminished greatly from what it was in the beginning of the last century.

Counter Jihad on youtube: JIHAD ACCOUNTS SUSPENDED MARCH

* Hahaha, just kidding. Of course not: The Sowdi’s have a problem with the cross, because it reminds them of the crusades, and that hurts their tender feelings.

* But this upright Swiss whistle does not bow to the sons of Allah: 

Riyadh, 2 April (AKI) – Swiss football referee Massimo Busacca vowed he would wear a whistle with the Swiss Cross symbol on it during of the Saudi championship on Wednesday, despite anger voiced in the Kingdom at the ‘crusader’ item.

“I have respect for all religions, including Islam, but I don’t see anything offensive in this and am optimistic. I will not give up my ‘crusader’ whistle,” he told pan-Arab daily Al-Sharq al-Awsat.

Many in Saudi Arabia had called for Busacca to sport a different whistle to avoid offending Muslims. He has previously refereed several soccer matches in the Kingdom.

The Swiss Cross is Switzerland’s national flag and also forms the world famous Swiss army knife logo.

But Muslims associate the Christian symbol with the bloody medieval crusades to conquer Jerusalem and the Holy Land.

* The crusades were called after 400 years of Islamic occupation of the holy land. Thanks to the crusades we are a free people and not  the slaves soldiers of Allah today.

Jonah Goldberg:  Geert Wilders film could very easily get him killed

Geert Wilders’ film could very, very easily get him killed. (He’s already guarded around the clock.) It essentially picks up the work of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, who was murdered in 2004 by a jihadi for criticizing Islam.

“Fitna” is certainly provocative, yet it has good reason to provoke. A cancer of violence, bigotry and cruelty is metastasizing within the Islamic world.

It’s fine for Muslim moderates to say they aren’t part of the cancer; and that some have, in response to the film, is a positive sign. But more often, diagnosing or even observing this cancer — in film, book or cartoon — is dubbed “intolerant” while calls for violence, censorship and even murder are treated as understandable, if regrettable, expressions of well-deserved anger.

It’s not that secular progressives support Muslim religious fanatics, but they reserve their passion and scorn for religious Christians who are neither fanatical nor inclined to use violence.
