Dutch Scientist Takes a Closer Look @ Sharia Courts & Discovers That “Islamization is Planned”

An original translation by Dr. VanHelsing

A young Dutch political scientist is causing consternation among the bien-pensants of the multicultural Left in the Netherlands with her analyses of Islamization. Her impeccable liberal background and credentials make it more difficult for the establishment to discredit her.

Dr. Van Helsing has translated an interview with this iconoclastic young woman. He includes this introductory note:

Machteld Zee Ph.D. is a Dutch scholar who investigated sharia courts in the UK for her Ph.D. thesis. This interview was published in the Algemeen Dagblad, a nationwide Dutch newspaper, on October 4, 2016.

The interview is relevant for several reasons:

  • Very few non-Muslims ever have gained access to the world of sharia courts in the UK. She has.
  • The University of Leiden is fairly highbrow in the Netherlands, because it is not only one of the oldest universities. but also because the heir to the Dutch throne traditionally studies at this university (for example, our former Queens Juliana and Beatrix did, just like our current head of state King Willem-Alexander). The reputation of this university gives authority to her voice.
  • She has become a target of attacks by leftist apologists for radical Islam since she published her thesis. She could do with some positive publicity. Similarly, Islam-sceptics could benefit from her work.

The translated interview:

“Islamization is Planned”

Investigating Sharia

The Islamization of Europe follows a strategy, according to Machteld Zee in her book Holy Identities, which was published today. ‘Once you have knowledge of it, you understand what is going on.’

‘I discovered a comprehensive system of law that contradicts our secular laws.’

Investigating sharia courts

Machteld Zee (32), a Dutch political scientist from the University of Leiden, studied sharia courts in the UK and wrote her Ph.D. thesis on it in 2015.

She was one of the few outsiders who gained access to the sessions of these Islamic courts. 95% of the cases before these courts are divorce cases. Her investigations resulted in a pamphlet, Holy Identities.

‘If you compare the Netherlands in the 1980s with today,’ says the political scientist and law school graduate Machteld Zee, ‘you will see an increased influence of Islam everywhere. Saudi Arabia and other countries flooded the world with thousands of imams, Islamic text books, mosques and tons of money.’

Machteld Zee needed barely 150 pages to describe the background of Islamic fundamentalism, which is gaining ground in Western countries. Her book Holy Identities: On the Road to a Sharia State is an analysis of the problems of the multicultural society.

You say that conservative Muslims want to convince their fellow Muslims to embrace sharia, the religious law of Islam. These fundamentalists are being helped by ‘useful non-believers’, non-Islamic intellectuals, politicians and opinion leaders who don’t want to offend Muslims.

A Syrian refugee in Germany has become a hunter of Islamic State killers hiding among the migrants who fled to Europe – and even pinpointed one of the radicals who tortured him.

Masoud Aqil, 23, was a captive of ISIS psychopaths for 280 days where he was subjected to incredible brutality and decapitation threats.

Now safe in Germany he works with intelligence officials to track down potential terrorists disguised as refugees. Earlier this year, following a lengthy stakeout at a refugee hostel in Bavaria, he was able to identify one of his captors.

Turns out Islamic State terrorists are also liars

Rita Panahi, Herald Sun

An Islamic State defector claims he was only an innocent bystander but a new video shows otherwise. This story demonstrates just how little security agencies know about returning jihadis.

1445980875071

BREMEN, Germany — Since his arrest on terrorism charges, German militant Harry Sarfo has been an unusually talkative Islamic State recruit, granting interviews from prison that were carried on front pages and news broadcasts across Europe and the United States.

German authorities permitted the access to Sarfo, whose story seemed to represent such a cautionary tale. He described atrocities he witnessed in Syria and the Islamic State’s efforts to enlist him for plots in Europe, always emphasizing that he spurned these approaches before making an improbable escape.

But in depicting himself as a disillusioned fighter who refused to commit violence, Sarfo left out some potentially incriminating scenes.

Previously unreleased video shows Sarfo moving doomed hostages into position for a public execution in Palmyra last year, and then apparently firing his own weapon at one of the fallen men. Rather than resisting involvement in the gruesome propaganda spectacle, Sarfo is shown shouting Islamic State slogans to whip up the gathering crowd, pledging his loyalty in a pre-execution huddle and raising his fist in celebration at the burst of machine-gun fire.

The footage is at odds with almost every account Sarfo, 28, has given of his time in Syria, including his statements to German authorities that he merely “stood on the side” while the shooting took place and adamantly “said no to the killing.”

The video serves as an alarming example of how little European security services know about hundreds of militants returning to the continent after fighting in Syria — often with the Islamic State.

European security services face worrisome blind spots about more than 6,000 militants who left to fight in Syria over the past five years, a flow that has begun to reverse now that the Islamic State is losing territory. Despite his trip to Syria, Sarfo was able to board a return flight from Turkey last year and was arrested upon arrival in Germany.

The new evidence will “probably lead to a new investigation and case” against Sarfo, a senior German security official said. “The difficulty for authorities and the justice system is that we don’t have any independent source on the ground in Syria to describe whether what Sarfo or others like him have told us is indeed accurate.”

“We can see the videos, yes,” the official said, referring to the large volume of propaganda put out by the Islamic State. “But what has happened before or after that, we don’t know.”

Sentencing documents indicate that authorities not only accepted Sarfo’s sanitized version of events but credited him for being forthright, concluding that he had “credibly distanced himself from the terror organization” once in custody by being willing to incriminate others.

More here.

The Islamic State camera crew in Palmyra captured other video in the city that was left out of the propaganda release. Portions of this additional footage were provided to The Washington Post by an individual inside the Islamic State, which is eager to discredit Sarfo because of his repeated denunciations of the group.

Albania & that plucky little king of Jordan to promote “the true image of Islam”

Coming together to defend Islam

At the heart of any matter that brings Muselmaniacs together is “the responsibility to defend Islam” against  islamophobes like you and me.

Albania is a Muslim country in the heart of Europe; as such, it has the great responsibility to protect Islam and Muslims who, recently, have been under increasing attacks and threats from Islamophobes.

612881774There was more to the official visit of Albanian President Bujar Nishani to Jordan for talks with His Majesty King Abdullah than the usual bilateral relations issues, including cooperation in tourism and economic relations.

The two leaders discussed, importantly, the manner in which the true image of Islam can be promoted in the world at a time it is repeatedly tarnished and abused by extremists from among Muslim ranks, including Daesh and other such Al Qaeda-spawned abominations.

The Albanian leader discussed this important and pressing issue with the King who, together with Her Majesty Queen Rania, has been making great contributions to efforts to rectify distortions of Islam and promote the true message of this religion.

Albania is a Muslim country in the heart of Europe; as such, it has the great responsibility to protect Islam and Muslims who, recently, have been under increasing attacks and threats from Islamophobes.

Of course, defending Islam from distortions and projecting a positive image of this great religion is first and foremost the duty of Muslim nations, which must work together to fight those who use religion to call for regression and backwardness.

Ukip MEP Paul Nuttall said: “These people obviously live in cloud cuckoo land. The Islamist hotbed of Molenbeek is just down the road from the parliament – why don’t they take their workshops there and see what difference it makes? We need proper solutions so let’s get tough on the real causes of radicalisation. This patronising nonsense from the EU will only make things worse.” (more on Islamic rulings on music and musical instruments here and below the fold)

Once we surrendered on that point, we set a precedent of surrendering to Sharia enforcement. Now established, we are made to reinforce it again and again.

We are in effect accepting Islamic law as overriding the freedom of speech and freedom of expression.–Geller Report

Islamic State calls for random knife attacks in alleys, forests, beaches, “quiet neighborhoods”

Then when they happen, we will be told that they have nothing to do with Islamic terrorism and that authorities are trying to determine the motive.

Minnesota: Muslim who stabbed mall shoppers while screaming “Allahu akbar” newly interested in Islam

“Dahir Ahmed Adan became interested in Islam in the last several months, withdrew from his friends and encouraged his sisters to be more religious, FBI Special Agent Rick Thornton said at a news conference. Witnesses told investigators that 20-year-old Adan yelled ‘Islam, Islam’ and ‘Allahu akbar,’ as well as asking several people whether they were Muslim before stabbing them during the Sept. 17 attack, which started outside Crossroads Center mall before moving inside.”

This is why government and law enforcement officials have to keep telling us that jihad terror has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam: it is such a patently false claim that it requires constant repetition to put it over.

Pentagon still unsure of whether to link Islam with violent jihad

Islamic jihadists routinely link Islam with violent jihad. In all their communiques and all their appeals for support, and in all their attempts to recruit peaceful Muslims, they invoke the Qur’an and Muhammad. The fact that this is controversial and still being discussed fifteen years after 9/11 is an indication of how deep the denial, and how serious the crisis, is in Washington. “Pentagon still unsure whether to link Islam & violent Jihad,” by Hillel Fendel, Israel National News, October 7, 2016

GASLIGHTING : A vicious fallacy of illogic, DELIBERATELY changing or distorting facts, memories, scenes, events and evidence in order to DISORIENT, CONFUSE and to make a vulnerable opponent doubt his/her sanity. This fallacy is named after British playwright Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 stage play “Gas Light,” also known as “Angel Street.” Gaslighting is a MALEVOLENT form of PSYCHOLOGICAL MANIPULATION in which intentionally false information is given to the victims in order to make them doubt their own observations, memories, thoughts and perceptions.

These “refugees” have no respect for this country or its residents

Mohammedan clerics at home and abroad are making headlines for their comical antics, unpredictable outbursts and vicious Jew-hating madness.

Tim Blair, The Daily Telegraph:

Here’s a brief compilation of imams gone wild during the past couple of weeks. They’ve been busy.

In Australia:

A visiting Islamic scholar is heading back to Pakistan after a surfaced of him preaching that the world will not see peace until ‘all Jews are wiped out’.

Muhammad Raza Saqib Mustafai, who has already addressed congregations in Blacktown and Liverpool, was to continue his tour in Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.

But when the video, titled “Jews are the enemies of Islam and the real peace” and shot in 2012, came to light, the remaining engagements were cancelled, Fairfax reports.

In the video, Mustafai says peace will be restored to the world once all Jews had been killed and removed from the planet.

“And when the last Jew will be killed from this world, then peace would be established in the world – so much so that snakes would roam among people but would not bite,” he says, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

In Egypt:

A controversial Sydney Imam has had a shoe thrown at him during a live interview on Egyptian television after suggesting Muslim women weren’t required to wear the burka.

Dr Mostafa Rashid suggested the wearing of the burka was a cultural tradition rather than a religious duty, infuriating fellow guest, Egyptian lawyer Nabih al-Wahsh, who removed his shoe and began hitting the Australian with it …

“You said you were the Mufti of Australia and a scholar in Sydney, but there’s not even a mosque in Sydney,” Mr Al-Wahsh said to Mr Rashid.

Click for rock ’em sock ’em Islamic shoe slappin’ video. In Jordan:

Jordanian writer Nahed Hattar was shot dead by a suspected Islamist gunman today Sunday, September 25th, outside the courtroom where he was due to stand trial for insulting Islam by sharing a cartoon on Facebook.

The gunman was arrested at the scene has been identified as Riyad Ismail Abdullah, a 49-year-old imam who recently returned from making the Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.

In England:

An imam who raped a young boy was protected by mosque elders who banished him abroad only for him to secretly return to the UK.

Noor Walile, 38, was given a six year jail term after he raped the boy in a toilet in between a lesson he was giving at Rugby Mosque, Warwickshire.

When confronted about the attack after the terrified child told his parents he said: ‘The devil made me do it’.

Another devil was involved in India:

Police have announced a cash reward of Rs 5,000 for information on the absconding imam of Bijnor’s Jama Masjid, who has been charged with raping a woman on the pretext of driving out the devil inside her. 

In Scotland:

An imam is to stand trial accused of attacking a seven-year-old boy during an Arabic lesson at a mosque.

Hafiz Rizvi, a cleric at the Masjid Tajdar-e-Madina Mosque in Dundee, was arrested over the incident earlier this year.

In Nigeria:

A 40-year-old Muslim cleric, Alfa Saheed Gbadamosi, has been arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court sitting in Lagos State for allegedly beating up a Pastor, Emmanuel Ugbo, and also threatening to pour acid on the victim as well as destroying his church property.

And in the US:

A Muslim cleric in Maryland, who has openly endorsed the Islamic State terror group and funded at least one Muslim convert who was arrested for buying illegal explosives, has not been charged or arrested because, according to authorities, he hasn’t broken any laws.

Suleiman Anwar Bengharsa, an imam at mosques in Annapolis and outside Baltimore who also serves as a prison chaplain, has posted gruesome videos showing Islamic State fighters, also known as ISIS, ISIL or Daesh, beheading and burning alive their enemies and praised terrorist attacks overseas, The New York Times reports.

They’re a colourful bunch, your imams. Perhaps they warrant further close attention.

Our refugee program has put Australians in danger.

Three men were armed with knives and threatened staff members at the registers, demanding cash…

All of the offenders had their identity disguised, however witnesses have described them as dark skinned and in their 20s.

These youths are most certainly refugees or the children of refugees from Africa.

SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENS TO THEIR MINDS

In order to climb the corporate ladder of the OIC-controlled UN, you need to be a Marxist Moonbat who panders to Islamofascists and kicks western civilisation like a mule. Antono Balonio Guterres is a hardcore commie and life-long socialist parasite from way back. That’s why Antonio  is the man for the job. The world has dodged a bullet. It could have been worse- it could have been KRudd.

Who is this man, Antonio Guterres, who so impressed the UN envoys of both Presidents Putin and Obama? Check him out here.

Tim Blair, The Daily Telegraph

Back in 2014, the next leader of the United Nations questioned Australia’s “very strange” attitude to boat arrivals.

Antonio Guterres wondered if we might have “sociological and psychological” issues:

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres has described as “very strange” Australia’s obsession with deterring asylum seekers who arrive by boat to seek refugee protection.

Answering a question posed by Australian refugee community representative at the UNHCR-NGO consultations in Geneva, Mr Guterres said Australia was in a “very strange situation” with its refugee policy …

“(Australia) is a very generous country hosting refugees. It has the most successful resettlement program I can imagine and the community integration is excellent. The combination of civil society, local authorities and central government in that is excellent,” Mr Guterres said.

“The problem is when we discuss boats and there, of course, we enter into a very, very, very dramatic thing. I think it is a kind of collective sociological and psychological question. They receive, I think, 180,000 migrants in a year. If you come to Australia in a different way, it’s fine but if they come in a boat it is like something strange happens to their minds.”

On behalf of my fellow simple-minded Australians, let me attempt to explain why we view legal migrants and boat arrivals differently. In the former category we find people of known background. We are able to judge their potential and the level of risk they may present.

They have passports.

In the second category we find people who have skipped across several nations, including nations where they would be welcome, prior to seeking Australian arrival. They pay huge sums to people smugglers, whose deadly industry killed more than 1200 people during Labor’s years in power alone. We know nothing of their potential or if they present a threat.

In order to make discovery of their past more problematic, they throw their passports away. Oh, and one more thing: we’re quite happy to be avoiding the problems suffered by Germany, France, Sweden and other nations vulnerable to massive uninvited arrivals.

There. Now you’re up to speed on this, Antonio, please feel free to inform all your UN mates.

UN’s New Secretary General Antonio Guterres: ‘Tireless Refugee Champion’

Billionaire hedge fund manager and political donor George Soros has said Europe must welcome huge numbers of asylum seekers and economic migrants, claiming they will benefit the economy.

Writing in Die Welt, Soros lays out “seven pillars” he beleives should be enacted in order for Germany and Europe to see financial gains from the mass migration of people from the third world.

Calling Britain’s vote to leave the bloc a tragedy, the Hungarian Billionaire warns that the prospect of “xenophobic, nationalist movements” winning elections in France, the Netherlands, and Germany constitutes a massive threat.

Islamo-shysters & leftist Moonbats undermine UK counter-terror scheme….

Counter-extremism strategy Prevent has been undermined by Islamic extremists, HJS says

An organised campaign led by extremists has been using false claims and misleading arguments to scaremonger about the Prevent counter-extremism strategy, a policy paper from cross-party think tank the Henry Jackson Society (HJS) found.

The groups have been claiming Prevent only targets Muslims, which has had a damaging effect as it has gained footholds in schools, universities, local councils and politics, the report released today says.

Prevent was developed as part of Britain’s counter-terrorism policy to “respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism” and to “prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”.

Public sector staff are taught to understand radicalisation and to recognise those vulnerable to it, with processes for staff to report concerns about vulnerable individuals.

Once concerns have been raised, the programme works to provide personalised support to those at risk of being radicalised.

Why Resisting Islam [Fitnah] Is Worse Than Slaughter, Part II

Fitna Is Worse Than Slaughter

Dr Rich Swier

Fitnah is the Quranic phrase for what has been dubbed Islamophobia in the non-Islamic world.

The very fact that you are not a Muslim, and don’t want to be, after being called upon [Dawah], makes you unjust and [an] oppressor. This is called Fitnah, and Fitnah is worse than killing. Whenever you criticize Islam on the Net, you are committing Fitnah. Therefore, you are worse than a murderer, and your blood is Halal [Permissible].

A little more than a year ago, I wrote about the subject of Fitnah from an Islamic theological perspective, while pointing out that Fitnah is the Quranic phrase for what has been dubbed Islamophobia in the non-Islamic world.

This time, I would like to discuss the same subject, but from a more secular-political perspective. In other words, does the potent Quranic concept that Fitnah is worse than slaughter, have any application in the secular-political world outside of predominantly Islamic countries?

As you will see, the answer is, plainly, Yes. After reviewing the earlier article on Fitnah, you’ll also see that the bottom line, theologically, is that the serious moral crime of refusing to accept Islam (= Fitnah), is much greater than any possible moral crime involved in the slaughtering (or plundering) of non-Muslims for their unbelief.

Educated Muslims Join the Jihad: “Poverty is Not a Driver of Radicalisation”

Islamic State recruits not driven by poverty, and above average in education

The idea that poverty and ignorance cause terrorism has led the U.S. to shower billions on Muslim countries, hoping to win hearts and minds and alleviate what mainstream analysts doggedly believe are the root causes of terrorism. But it has been known for years that poverty doesn’t really cause terrorism at all. The Economist reported in 2010:

Social scientists have collected a large amount of data on the socioeconomic background of terrorists. According to a 2008 survey of such studies by Alan Krueger of Princeton University, they have found little evidence that the typical terrorist is unusually poor or badly schooled.

In the same vein, CNS News noted in September 2013:

According to a Rand Corporation report on counterterrorism, prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 2009, “Terrorists are not particularly impoverished, uneducated, or afflicted by mental disease. Demographically, their most important characteristic is normalcy (within their environment). Terrorist leaders actually tend to come from relatively privileged backgrounds.” One of the authors of the RAND report, Darcy Noricks, also found that according to a number of academic studies, “Terrorists turn out to be more rather than less educated than the general population.”

The Times Online reported the following as far back as April 2005:

Three-quarters of the Al-Qaeda members were from upper middle-class homes and many were married with children; 60% were college educated, often in Europe or the United States.

And here we go again.

isisquran1

“Islamic State recruits are above average when it comes to education, according to World Bank report,” AFP, October 6, 2016:

The data shows clearly, the report said, that “poverty is not a driver of radicalization into violent extremism”

But don’t tell this to the Islamo-propagandists who’s problem is “Islamophobia” rather than those who follow their religious scriptures and “strike terror in the hearts of the enemy:”

Ministers from Islamic states on Thursday urged the West to make efforts to help ease the threats against Muslim youths posed by extremism and Islamophobia.

(Besides) the growing threat of Islamophobia, Muslim youths are also struggling with poor education and inadequate job opportunities…..

This comes from the same dogs who constantly call for us to be educated about Islam….

The OIC should fight Islamophobia: Turkish sports min.

Our noble religion, Islam, can in no way be mentioned alongside terrorism, says Akif Cagatay Kilic

“Unbelief is worse than slaughter”….

The OIC should fight Islamophobia: Turkish sports min.
ISTANBUL, TURKEY – OCTOBER 6: Turkish Youth and Sports Minister Akif Cagatay Kilic (R), gives a present to Head of Islamic Conference of Youth and Sports Ministers Musa’ed bin Abdulaziz Al Suud (L) during 3rd Session of the Islamic Conference of Youth and Sports Ministers held by Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) at Conrad Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey on October 6, 2016. ( Salih Zeki Fazlıoğlu – Anadolu Agency )

Turkey’s youth and sports minister said Thursday that members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) should work to fight Islamophobia.

“As OIC members, it is our duty to fight such defamation. Our noble religion, Islam, can in no way be mentioned alongside terrorism,” Akif Cagatay Kilic told the Third OIC Youth and Sports Ministers Conference in Istanbul.

Kilic said Islamophobia tries to make people have a negative image of places where a majority of Muslims live.

“Islam supports all victims and oppressed peoples without regard to religion, language, or race and always takes a stand against tyrants”, he added.

Muslims feel targeted because they are religious?

Once great Britain,  where clueless limp dicks advocate anti terrorism policy based on Muslim “feelings” rather than cold hard facts:

Britain needs a watchdog to watch the watchdogs:

A scheme to stop people becoming radicalised must be reformed because Muslims feel targeted because they are religious, terror watchdog warns

  • Prevent programme intended to tackle all forms of extremism in Britain 
  • David Anderson said there was a ‘serious problem’ of Islamic extremism
  • But 15% of the programme’s work focuses on extreme ring wingers 
  • He warned Muslim communities ‘fear’ was real even if it was ‘exaggerated’

Muslims who pray or wear the veil feel ‘targeted’ just because of their faith by a government scheme at stopping people becoming radicalised, the terror watchdog warned today.

David Anderson, who has access to secret papers to independently review whether terror laws are effective and proportionate, said trust had to be restored by reforming the Prevent programme.

Mr Anderson said the ‘fear’ in Muslim communities about the scheme was real even if it was ‘exaggerated’.

Terror laws watchdog David Anderson, pictured giving evidence to MPs in March, warned Muslims feel targeted because of their faith by scheme aimed at stopping people becoming radicalised

He told the BBC there was a ‘serious problem of Islamist extremism’ in Britain but added 15 per cent of Prevent’s work relates to the extreme right wing and not Muslims.

Mr Anderson, who is due to leave his post in 2017 after six years as the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, said Prevent should be reformed rather than scrapped to make it more effective.

His concerns follow criticism of the programme by leading opposition figures, including shadow home secretary Andy Burnham.
