Jede Konsequenz fuehrt zum Teufel

The Guardian has the news, with the usual Spiel:

Spain is to hire 180,000 immigrants in their countries of origin next year in an effort to stem illegal immigration while satisfying its demand for cheap labour.

It seems the business lobby in Spain is going full speed ahead in national destruction as we can see in the rest of the Western world.

Spain used to have a unemployment rate of 20 percent of the work force. Under the Conservative Aznar government in the 90ies economic growth was high as a result of curbing government spending and lowering taxes. Unemployment fell to 7,6 percent, which is still too high. Under the present Socialist government economic growth is faltering.

The business lobby, especially of big business in agriculture, construction and tourism, with are always hungry for achieving competitive advantages against smaller businesses by gaining cheap and docile labour is recruiting on a big scale in Morocco. Morroccans are notoriously difficult to intergrate into European society.

The social and economic costs of this immigration are dumped on larger society. As soon as the immigrant gain rights in Spain they will be replaced by newer, cheaper labour. They will then go on the dole, and bring in relatives who will receive state support at the expense of the tax payer.

And it will not just be the Spanish tax payer. Due to the 1985 Schengen treaty, the immigrants can freely travel and live all across the EU, so they may well end up in other countries were the state is more generous, i.e. the more northern European countries, such as Germany and The Netherlands.

As a German idiom has it: "Consequenses lead to Satan"

Daniel Pipes does not understand "enemy"

Mr. L. Auster of Amnation has a commentary on an article on Islam authority Daniel Pipes:

The book that most shaped my understanding of modern Muslim life was Wilfred Cantwell Smith’s Islam in Modern History (Princeton, 1957). To reduce Smith’s nuanced thesis to a few sentences, he argues that Muslim military, economic, and cultural success in the premodern period created an expectation that God’s people would be rewarded for their faith in mundane ways. That expectation left Muslims incapable of explaining what happened when, in modern times, they fell behind in those same arenas.

Pipes quotes Smith:

The fundamental malaise of modern Islam is a sense that something has gone wrong with Islamic history. The fundamental problem of modern Muslims is how to rehabilitate that history: to set it going again in full vigour, so that Islamic society may once again flourish as a divinely guided society should and must.

Pipes seems to think here that Muslims attack the West because of their urge to renew the glory of Islam. The idea that Islam attacks the West (and the rest) because it is the nature of Islam to attack Dar-al-Harb does not enter his mind.

Mr. Auster then comments:

Let’s get this straight. Pipes is telling us that when Islam was enjoying “military, economic, and cultural success in the premodern period,” that was good. But when Islam fell behind the rest of the world and remained that way,—externally powerless, beset by internal ills, unsure of its spiritual vocation, and emotionally traumatized by its multitudinous failures—that was bad.

Yes, that’s what Pipes is telling us. Therefore he is looking for ways to help Islam overcome its trauma. How? Well, since the trauma was caused by Islam’s becoming a military, economic, and cultural failure, evidently Islam can only heal the trauma by once again becoming a military, economic, and cultural success. Following his mentor Wildred Smith, Pipes wants Muslims to rehabilitate their history, to set it going again in full vigour, so that Islamic society may once again flourish as a divinely guided society.

Daniel Pipes just want to help those poor dears, the Muslims, who attack us Wsterners.

In other words he want to aid and abbet the enemy.

But in Mr. Pipes' world there is no room for the concept of "enemy". Non-Westerners are either friends or victims. Or both. Thus Mr. Pipes does not call for an end to immigration. He does not call for the expulsion of all Muslims from Western lands, in order to separate the West from its enemies and to safeguard our peoples from the vicious attacks of Muslims living in our lands.

Mr. Pipes is a liberal. His criticism of Islam is essentially liberalism bound. Just as the neo-cons who basically wanted to invade the Middle East in order to free the Muslims only to discover that voting Muslim populations are more radical and hostile to the West than Middle Eastern dictators. A neo-con is an reality-mugged, angry and armed liberal.

Right now the Americans Forces are training and arming Muslim fighters who will only turn their weapons and training on the West in due course, because their holy writ tells them so.

Staffing problems

The Conservative Freedom Party (PVV) of Geert Wilders got 9 seats in the elections last month for the 150 seat national assembly. Before the election Geert Wilders, who defected from the Liberal-Conservative VVD party, was on his own in parliament.

Having added eight to his rank Wilders now has to train these novices in national politics in becoming effective politicians and welding them into a team.

Of course Wilders must have vetted his candidates carefully when he was making his bid for parliament two years ago. After all Pim Fortuyn's parliamentary fraction of 26 quickly fell apart after their entry in national politics and the murder of the party leaders.

Or has he?

A regional newspaper raked up a story about Dion Graus (Dutch), number six on the party list. NRC Handelsblad also carried the story.

Mr. Graus has had a report filed against him for wife battering three years ago. And intimidation of his father in law. The accusations have not been proven and Graus will get a few weeks to exonerate himself. Moreover he is supposed to have had a string of conflicts with previous employers. These accusations look like nit-picking.

Whether Mr. Graus is really innocent or not remains to be seen. But publicity like this will certainly damage the image of the party in the eyes of the public.

New Communism: now with EXTRA propaganda!

New Communism: now with EXTRA propaganda!

Communism has renewed itself. It is now available in a glorious new package! Equality for ALL!

In the ongoing endeavour of Dutch Communism to bring equality to all people living on Dutch territory the subsidized broadcasters have now collectively decided to enforce quota for non-white immigrants. Television programs must be representative and reflect multicultural reality in order to educate the population about the wonderful, enriching and steadily increasing diversity of Dutch society.

This way the old, hideously white part of the population will be educated, so that they will understand that diversity is strength and that the multicultural project, after a unfortunate hiccup between 2002 and 2006 cannot be stopped.

Some naive Whites mutter about diversity of opinion. We cannot have that. This is a free society and it is forbidden to diverge from the party line. There is a narrow set of approved opinions and facts.

Ok, so let's move on comrades and "repackage" that pesky internet, not to mention the ongoing proliferation of commercial and sattelite TV, it is worse than samizdat. There is a long march ahead!

Pope's Regensburg Address wins prize

The seminar for rethorical studies of the German University of Tübingen has declared the "Regensburg Address" (German) of pope Benedict XVI to most influential speech in 2006.

Our future: The Middle Ages

Professor Martin van Creveld, the expert on non-clauzewitzian warfare just published a new article on Defense and the National Interest

The past:

For a thousand years before 1945, the story of mankind had been one of political consolidation. To be sure, empires rose and receded, were created and fell to pieces. But however twisty the road, in the long run it always led toward larger and more powerful units. By 1914, virtually the entire Earth was dominated by just seven of them, six of them established by white men and five centered in Europe. Needless to say, they promptly fell to fighting each other on an unequaled scale and with an unequaled ferocity. By the time their struggle ended 30 years later, 80 to 100 million people had been killed.

The present and the growing power of transnational organisations:

From Indonesia to Scotland, and from the former Soviet Union to southern Africa, the process most characteristic of our age is political splintering, decentralization, even disintegration. Hardly a month goes by without some new state appearing on the map. And political transformation extends far beyond government. Each time a new user acquires a TV dish or links up to the Internet, the nature of politics undergoes a subtle change. Each time a new international organization arises, more states find themselves caught in its coils. The splintering process has led to vast increases in the power of organizations other than states, such as multinational corporations, nongovernmental organizations, and the media. With each passing day these groups are a little more independent of government. With each passing day, the influence they exercise in world affairs grows.

It is true that the public is resisting the power of some transnational organisations dreamed up by the political class (EU), but other social units other than states are increasing their in the minds of the subjects they seek to control, as we can see in the struggle in Iraq between a transnational alliance of Western nations to create a nation that would do their bidding and a legion of non-nation groups that fight them and each other for dominance over populations and territories.

The future:

There will be continued political decentralization accompanied by massive population movements from one political unit to the next. These political units will vary widely, from sovereign states to international organizations that are not sovereign, and from those with large territories to those that have very little territory or none at all. Operating within a very loose framework of international law, from time to time they will go to war against each other. But compared with the titanic struggles of the years 1914-45, these wars will tend to be small and, except to those directly involved, harmless.

Martin van Creveld wrote "The Transformation of War" in 1990 in which he showed the waning power of nation states and the inability of these states to perform their core duty: physical security. Rereading the book in 2006 it is uncanny how prescient he was at that time.

Another seminal book by Van Creveld is: "The rise and fall of the State"

Registry - Rigspula

The Dutch Ministry of Justice has created a special registry, a database, for Caribians from the Dutch Antilles.

"Antillians" are citizens of the realm and can travel freely to The Netherlands, although Dutchborn have to go through immigration procedures to live in the Dutch Antilles.

Antillians are known for their propensity to be violent criminals, using knives and Tanfoglio pistols.

Thus the registry was created to enable municipalities to know whether Antillians they encounter have criminal antecedents.

"Rigspula

Rig, sometimes known as Heimdall,
visited an ancient poor couple.
He, Ai, and Edda shared the bed
For three nights, and Rig left.
Nine months later, Edda had a son
Named Thrall.
Thrall married Slavery.
They had boys:
Noisey, Byreboy, Roughneck, and Horsefly.
They had daughters:
Lazybones, Beanpole, Fatty."

I wonder about one thing. Who are the "enthralled" here?

The register is important because Antillians are very mobile and constantly on the move.

The council for Caribians has protested against the registry and compared it to measures against the Jews in the Second World War.

Secret Service Sieves

The Dutch journalists arrested a few days ago for possessing classified information of the Dutch internal Secret Service (AIVD) have been released.

The journalists had obtained the information from a source inside the AIVD or another part of the security buraucracy.

The latest news is that there is another leak in the Secret Sieve. This Secret Service man is said to have left the AIVD after "integrity concerns". This is according to the laywer of Paul H. a suspected employee of the AIVD (Dutch) who allegedly traded state secrets.

The second leak was part of the AIVD investigation of Mink Kok, a notorius Dutch Arms trader.

More terror coming to the USA

The G.W. Bush administration has sold the Iraq war to the American public arguing that occupying and "transforming" Iraq is central to the war on terrorism. Fight the terrorists in Iraq, so they do not come to the USA. However, G.W. Bush is at the same time maintaining that "Islam is a Religion of Peace" and is admitting a hundred thousand legal Muslim immigrants to the USA, in addition to the uncounted multitudes of Muslims that cross the borders of the USA illegally, together with the Mexican invaders.

Certainly there are Jihadists amongst them. Some of them come with Jihadist intent, others get Jihad when the spirit wills it.

But there is another source of terrorism coming to the USA.

From its own soldiers in Iraq!

"Last week, one of my students, a Marine captain, asked whether I had heard a news report about an “IED-like device” supposedly found near Cincinnati, and if I thought we would soon start seeing IEDs here in the U.S. I replied that I had not heard the news story, but as to whether we would see IEDs here at home, the answer is yes.

One of the things U.S. troops are learning in Iraq is how people with little training and few resources can fight a state. Most American troops will see this within the framework of counterinsurgency. But a minority will apply their new-found knowledge in a very different way. After they return to the U.S. and leave the military, they will take what they learned in Iraq back to the inner cities, to the ethnic groups, gangs, and other alternate loyalties they left when they joined the service. There, they will put their new knowledge to work, in wars with each other and wars against the American state. It will not be long before we see police squad cars getting hit with IEDs and other techniques employed by Iraqi insurgents, right here in the streets of American cities."

That's right folks! Terrorism is easy! It is affordable too!

"We will see the same thing here, powerfully I think, as a result of our defeat in Iraq. It will manifest itself in many ways, and one of those ways will be the progression of inner-city and gang crime into something close to warfare, including war against the state.

Police will not be surprised by this prediction. I have talked with cops about Fourth Generation war, and they “get it” much better than do American soldiers and Marines. Many have told me that they already recognize elements of war in what they are encountering, especially in inner cities. Cops have been killed while just sitting in their cruisers, because they represent the authority of the state. How big a step is it for those cruisers to get hit with IEDs instead of pistol shots?"

The police is better equipped mentally to understand "war against the state" than the US Military, which is institutionally geared towards state on state warfare.

"... [bring] “terrorism” here from among the people we have sent to fight the war there. Well educated in the ways of successful insurgency, they will come home embittered by a lost war, by friends dead and crippled for life to no purpose. Thanks to America’s de-industrialization, they will return to no jobs, or lousy “service” jobs at minimum wage. Angry, frustrated and futureless, some of them will find new identities and loyalties in gangs and criminal enterprises, where they can put their new talents to work."

The failed policy of the US State in anwer to 9-11 will turn the very people the US has send to fight terrorism into terrorist. And so the state is tearing itself apart.

Research reveals Ancient Greek Computer

"A bronze calculating machine salvaged from a shipwreck a century ago is finally yielding up its secrets, revealing a Greek computer of remarkable sophistication for a device constructed long before the birth of Christ.

Scholars have been baffled by the 80-plus fragments of the ancient mechanism found in 1901 by sponge divers in a Roman shipwreck near the island of Antikythera, midway between the Peloponnese and Crete." MORE

This astrological machine is approximately 2,200 years old!

Retreat of the West

"China will surpass the U.S. as the single biggest contributor to global advertising growth for the first time at the end of 2006, foresees Adam Smith, futures director of Group M, WPP Group's media unit."

and

"China's investment in major media in 2006 will rise to $4.2 billion vs. the U.S.'s $4 billion."

The size of the Chinese advertizing sector reflects China's growing GNP. Economic power is the fundament of military power. As China's economy grows it will become more dominant and will end the era of effortless dominance of the Multicultural US empire. This effortless dominance started in 1989 when the Soviet Union collapsed.

In 1945 the US also quite effortlessy inherited the global British empire that had been built up between 1702 and 1945.

With China on the rise, nations and other social groups aroundthe world have an alternative to the US for investment and economic and military assistance, further undermining the American position in the world.

The ideology of China is ethnically nationalist, cherising the Han Chinese core of China. As such it poses and ideological challenge to the Multiculturalist ideology.

Judge slams Hofstadgroup terror cell

Four Islamic terrorists (Dutch) received serious convictions from the Amsterdam Court last Friday:

AMSTERDAM — A court in Amsterdam sentenced Samir A. and three other Islamic militants to prison on Friday for planning terror attacks on politicians and the intelligence service AIVD.

Samir A., 20, was jailed for eight years and three others — Nourrdin El F., Mohammed C. en Soumaya S. — received terms of between three and four years.

Some of suspects were alleged to have links to the Hofstad group, whose leader was convicted of killing filmmaker Theo van Gogh.

This refers to Mohammed Bouyeri, the assassin of Theo van Gogh.

Two other defendants were acquitted of terror charges.

The presiding judge at the heavily-secured Amsterdam-Osdorp court said A. had been striving to carry out his terrorist aims for several years.

The Dutch-Moroccan A. was said to be the ringleader of the suspects.

Although he had been placed on trial several times previously, this is the first time that A. has been convicted.

The public prosecution had demanded a 15-year jail term against him.

The court ruled that evidence presented in the case suggested A. was planning an "imminent terror attack".

The evidence included a suicide video, automatic weapons and manuals explaining how to turn mobile phones into detonators.

This conviction is the result of new anti-terrorist laws, that have been put on the books in the last 2 years. These law outlaw "membership of a terrorist organisation" and "preparations to carry out violence. The judge accepted "preparations to carry out violence" with regards to Samir Azzouz and three others members of the Hofstad terror cell, but not "membership of a terrorist organisation".

Persecution of Dutch Journalists

This blog has reported before on the persecution of Dutch journalists by the state.

Here is a piece on investigative journalists Joost de Haas and Bart Mos in May for publishing state secrets. Here is a piece on editors of Dutch newspapers meeting with the AIVD (Dutch internal security) about the protection of journalists and their sources, after same arrests and wiretaps on the journalists.

The journalists work for "De Telegraaf", the biggest newspaper in the Netherlands.

The journalists have information sources within the police and the internal security services. The security community is using pressure to get the journalists to reveal who their sources are.

The journalists write about the activities of Dutch gangsters, drug runners, arms traders, extortionists and real estate tycoons who are becoming increasingly powerful in The Netherlands and the activities of the police and AIVD to tackle them.

The fact that organised crime has fully penetrated the police and the AIVD and generally knows what is going on at the top level has been a major embarassment for the security forces. The fact that Mr. Mos and Mr. de Haas are exposing their inability to address the matter seems to drive them absolutely mad.

This case figures prominently in the Dutch press right now. It has been the front page of "De Telegraaf" yesterday.

Civil War in Europe

The confrontation between immigrant youth and the police in France has taken such forms, that it is getting recognition as a war by the press.

Reuters has the story:

"Stoned, beaten and insulted, their vehicles torched by crowds of hostile youths, French police say they face an urban guerrilla war when they enter the run-down neighborhoods that ring the major cities."

The fruits of Multiculturalism. Isn't it fantastic? Think of all the ethnic foods that we can eat because of Multiculturalism. Gezellig!

Last week's elections in The Netherlands

A round up of commentary on the Dutch elections last week (22 November) plus my own take:

Round-up:
Brussels Journal: Pat Buchanan wins Dutch elections
Kleinverzet: The Ghost of Pim Fortuyn

The elections saw the centre parties, Labour, Liberal-Conservatives, Democrats66 weakened.

On the sides maoist Socialist Party (SP) of Jan Marrijnissen and on the Right the Freedom Party (PVV) of Geert wilders gained seats. SP got 25 (+16) and Freedom Party got 9 (+9).

Brussels Journal goes deeper into the background of the winning Socialist Party. The SP is Anti-Europe and regards Western, Christian culture the bedrock of Dutch society.

Kleinverzet argues that the SP are Communists, who believe in the Leftist message that the State is the answer to all woes. By contrast the old Labour Party does not believe in its message anymore. Because the voters are looking for strong leaders, they vote for those who believe in their own message.

My take:
Brussels Journal and Kleinverzet are correct. SP is both hardline leftist and pro-Western, which is an unusual combination in the West, where most Leftist Parties are Multiculturalists and therefore Anti-Western. It is also a clear vote against the EU of the transnational elites and Eurabia.

The Anti-Immigrant and Anti-Islamic stance of the electorate is further made clear by the PVV of Geert Wilders gaining 9 seats. This is a remarkable result and shows the organisational acumen and ability of Geert Wilders to communicate with his voter base. There were two other Fortuynist remnants dating back to the 2002 elections which failed to gain enough votes for one (1) seat.

The gain of Wilders (former Liberal-Conservative VVD: party of Ayaan and Verdonk) is even more remarkable when we look at the number of votes Rita Verdonk got. 600.000! Out of slightly less than 10 million votes. She even got 60.000 more than Party leader Mark Rutte. Verdonk has a strong anti-immigrant and anti-Islam profile. 600.000 votes is sufficient for 9 seats, while VVD got 22. So more than a third of the voters of that party disagree with immigration and multiculturalism. The VVD will see instability in the years to come. Party leader Mark Rutte is not strong enough to lead the party and Verdonk simply lacks the talent to run a Anti-Multicultural political platform against the entire system. There will be good hunting grounds here for Geert Wilders. Henk Kamp, the current defense Minister and third man of the VVD may well be the man to get the ship out of the shallows and sailing again.

Under the present circumstances it will be difficult to put a coalition together for a government. The coalition that can be formed will be unstable and probably be under the leadership of Christian Democrat Balkenende, not a strong and capable political leader.

So expect new elections within 4 years. Invest in shares of companies selling voting booths or canned food or shotguns.

The End of Freedom of Speech

Previously this blog published a translation by Professor Hans Jansen of the letter the assassin of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh pinned to his body.

Hans Jansen’s analysis of the letter by Mohammed B., shows the incompatibility of the presence of Muslim communities in Western democratic societies. Not only is the liberal dream of Bush and his neo-conservative advisors of remaking Islamic societies as free and democratic an impossible one, simultaniously opening one’s own country to invasion by tens of thousands of Muslims will have the effect of rendering Freedom of Speech, essential to the working of democracy, difficult. And this while Freedom of Speech is essential for setting the political course of a democratic entity.

Assimilation is not a cure. Mohammed B. was born in The Netherlands and went to good schools here. He CHOSE the Wahhabist version of Islam which tells him that those who criticise and ridicule Islam have to be killed and that this is a duty of a Muslim and a key to Paradise.

Islam critics like Daniel Pipes, Mark Steyn, Robert Spencer and others, who fail to expose the absurdity of G.W. Bush’ "war to democratize the Islamic world", while the Islamic offensive in Western Europe and the USA goes on unimpeded may eventually become victims of their own oversight. Either because attempts will be made on their lives for their criticism of Islam. Or because they will either have to change the subject when they realize their predicament through the examples that are made of others. There are now an estimated 3 to 6 million of Muslims in the USA. What if they are 10 percent of the population, say 30 million? Inbridled immigration will bring them in and the aforementioned Islam critics do nothing to criticise Islam.

Jihadists regard it as their God-given duty to fight un-Islamic governments and to silence dissenters. For Westerners it is an unusual feature of war. Failure to appreciate this will be dear as the Dutch have found out at their expense. Learn from the mistakes of others while you can. Tomorrow it may be too late and the capacity for learning, which is such a distinguishing feature of Western societies will not just be impaired by the Politically Correct powers in media and academia, but be reinforced by Islamic terror. Only the very brave will speak up and who can know in advance if there will be a sufficiency of bravery to turn back the tide?

Muslims in the West: implications for democracy

In a discussion on Islam's presence in the West on Amnation I commented that the presence of Muslims is undesireable, due to their habit to kill those who criticise Islam. To back my statement up I translated the commentary of Orientalist Hans Jansen of Leiden University in The Netherlands. The original commentary in Dutch is here. A English translation of the original letter of Mohammed B. is here.

It follows below, starting with a comment on Jansen's text by a Dutch newspaper editor.

First published in “Tijdschrift voor de geschiedenis ”, 118, nr. 3 (2005), p. 483-491, a special on Religion and violence)

[Editor Jan Greven of newspaper Trouw writes on 25 October 2005 regarding my article:

The magazine ends with an analysis by Arabist Hans Jansen of the letter, which Mohammed B. left on the body of Theo van Gogh. Jansen does not reduce to psychological, political, or social factors, but analyses the letter as a religious document. He is the exception. Which disturbs the peace. All articles bring the same message: change the world and religion as a source of violence will automatically disappear.

Mohammed B.’s letter points to something else. According to the introduction the special was meant to add to a better understanding of today’s complex reality through writing history. Is this goal being achieved? Or does the special rather show that the current historical interpretation of religion, no matter how decent and interesting, falls short to understand today’s reality of Mohammed B.? I think it is the latter.

Jan Greven ]

The letter by Mohammed B., attached to the corpse of Theo van Gogh

Hans Jansen

Mohammed B., the man who murdered Theo van Gogh on 2 November 2004 in Amsterdam, assumed that he would pay with his life for this deed. This did not happen, because in the shoot out between the police and the assassin the police managed to take Mohammed B. out without killing him. With hindsight it is questionable whether we should be happy about this, for a living hero in jail may be the object of a macabre cult. This is what happened in Israel with the murderer of Rabin, a certain Yigal Amir. Just having to report the existence of the cult, which the newspapers will have to do for years, will cause adversariality in society that we do not need.

As he assumed that he would not be able to explain or justify himself in person, Mohammed B. has left a five page document illuminating his deed . Actually the document was attached to Theo van Gogh’s body with a knife. Geert Mak calls this document “a note” and has written a book on the aftermath of the assassination, without touching upon the subject of the “note”. It may often be a good tactic to kill an enemy by superior silence, but in this case the enemy is not sufficiently irrelevant to make this tactic work. Moreover it is unclear who the enemy is. Just Mohammed B.? Does he have allies, sympathisers or even accomplices? Without police investigation and reading the “note” we will hardly find out.

From Islamic or radical Islamic circles there have hardly been relevant explanations of the murder on Theo van Gogh, other than the letter itself. Apologies directed at non-Muslim Dutchmen are almost unthinkable; because there is in Dutch society nothing that could be used to justify a murder and certainly not foggy utterances such as “Dutch society refuses to acknowledge Islam with one voice”. After all what is the opposite? For The Netherlands as one to embrace Islam? Or as a form of criticism on the many (usually ineffective) measures by the State to assimilate and integrate Muslim immigrants murdering a filmmaker/columnist is hardly relevant. Those who want to know the motives of Mohammed B. have hardly anything to go on aside from this letter.

Mohammed B. has a Berber surname meaning something like “Short neck”. We should not seek deeper significance in the meaning of the name, but it is interesting that Mohammed B. is a Berber and not an Arab. There are no precise figures, but it seems that Moroccan Berber youth in The Netherlands and elsewhere have all kinds of trouble, perhaps even more than their Moroccan-Arab neighbours. Berber youth sometimes choose radical Islam on their search for identity. On the other hand, Berbers are strongly overrepresented amongst Dutch Moroccans, which may skew the picture.

At home Mohammed B. most likely spoke a Berber language with his parents. Mohammed B. knows Arabic too and the letter shows that he is also capable of inserting Arabic texts into the Dutch text with all the vocal and reading signs which the Arabic language prescribes. That is an achievement which not every Arabic language student at a Dutch university will able to match. He writes Dutch well, although there is sometimes a somewhat stilted quality to his prose, as the original pious Arabic verses, which he knows well, are close to the surface.

The title of the document is ”OPEN LETTER TO HIRSHI ALI”. It is strange that he misspells the name of Member of Parliament Ayaan Hirsi Ali. But indeed almost everybody in the Netherlands pronounces her name “Hirshi”, rather than “Hirsi” possibly under the influence of names like “Hirsch Ballin”. Moreover Moroccans often hear the Dutch “s” as a “sh”, as the Moroccan “s” and “sh” are much further apart than the “s” and “sh” in Dutch and English. This is why many older Moroccans say “shave” rather then “save” . Misspelling Ayaan’s name may well be used as an insult, but that seems farfetched in this case, as the other names in the document are spelled correctly. The spelling error is almost certainly caused by the Dutch mispronunciation of “Hirsi”.

Any letter written by a Muslim, should start with the phrase: “In the name of Allah, the Merciful”, in some translation or other. This letter starts like this as well. In fact every act by a Muslim should start with this phrase, something which is prescribed to the faithful in the New Testament: “start all things in the name of the Lord”. Right after this phrase a well-chosen verse from the Quran could have been inserted, but Mohammed B. chose to omit it. He does keep another convention: a prayer for the prophet Mohammed follows. Peace and blessings over Mohammed are beseeched from God. An author may choose with which honorifics he will honour the prophet offering a preview on the subject matter of the letter. The convention exists in order to forestall confusion as a result of the possibility that the introductory prayer is about anyone else than the prophet Mohammed, (as has been the case).

The Prophet Mohammed (+/- 570-632 AD) is called the “Emir of the Mujahideen” here which can be translated as: “The commander of the Jihadi”. This is in a sense a traditional title. Odd though, is the second title “The Laughing Killer”, which due to the weight of convention on letters must refer to the prophet himself. This lugubrious phrase is not Quranic and almost certainly not from the Tradition (Hadeeth). The Tradition is very voluble and it may be possible that the expression “the laughing killer” may be found somewhere, but the expression is certainly not common. Hadeeth and Quran do not value “laughing”. He who laughs does not mentally clearly establish the seriousness of what he is doing. Quran states at least three times that laughing often kills the heart. At least seven times Hadeeth maintains that the prophet prefers crying over laughing. The phrase “the laughing killer” therefore causes wonderment. It might be interesting to find out where Mohammed encountered this phrase.

What follows is a whole line of Arabic transcribed in Latin script, to be translated as “Mohammed the messenger of God (the protection of God be over him and God giveth him peace)”. The document continues traditionally: these wishes and prayers for salvation are not just made over Mohammed himself, but also over his family, the people he used to associate with during his life and all Muslims following Mohammed until the Last Day. Then follows: “there is no aggression, but against the aggressors”, apparently the Dutch translation of a phrase which can easily be traced back to an Arabic phrase which is not Quranic, but appears often in religious texts.

After these introductory texts follows a short formulae, which in an Arabic letter separates the preamble from the body of the document. This formula has been rendered in Dutch by Mohammed with: “the following”, although usually translators prefer “and further” or something along those lines. Follows another short prayer for peace of those who “follow guidance”. “Guidance” is here a translation of the Arabic “huda”, in Dutch well-known in a word like “Madhi”; “guided [right by God]”. It is according to the conventions of Arabic texts, despite the capitalisation, certainly not a reference to the leadership of a terrorist cell that Mohammed B. was possibly a part of, or something like that. The underlying image is a caravan wandering through the desert, with God as the Guide and under His Guidance.

Mohammed B. comes to the point. He writes an open letter to VVD MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali, whom he calls an “unbelieving fundamentalist”. It is interesting to see that “fundamentalist” has become derogatory in Mohammed B.’s circles too, apparently. The most important feature, by which we recognize fundamentalists, is their willingness on the basis of their ideology to come to deeds . It remains to be seen whether Mohammed B. uses the F-word incorrectly. He further addresses himself to the “Taghouth” party VVD . “Taghout” is the standard Arabic nomenclature for politicians or political parties which are regarded as anti-Islamic. During the Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979 the USA was the great Satan and the Iranian allies of the USA were the Taghout. The word has been used for all rulers in all capitals of the Islamic world – but only by the fundamentalist opposition. The word appears eight times in the Quran, usually refers to idolatry, but perhaps already in Quran 4:60 to authorities refusing to stand aside and make room for Islam. Mohammed B. argues next that the remarks of Hirsi Ayaan Ali “terrorize Islam” and constitute a “crusade against Islam”. “Terrorizing” is usually used differently in the Dutch language, but we have to understand that the remarks of Ayaan instil fear in the hearts of (some) Muslims in The Netherlands. Only one reason can be found. There are Muslims who are scared that Ayaan indeed finds willing listeners under Dutch Muslims.

In Muslim texts the Crusades are usually represented as the equivalent of Jihad, but this moral equivalence is incorrect. The crusades took place during a short period of time in European history in a limited area (Palestine), Jihad however is universal and of all times. Jihad against Africa, Asia and Europe had been going on for centuries, at the time when the crusades still had to commence. The last crusader has been dead and buried for centuries, while Jihadis are still thick like flies in certain parts of the world. Next Mohammed B. utters the accusation that Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been rewarded for her work against Islam with a seat in Dutch parliament. She is being used to “spui” (“spew forth”) “animosity regarding Islam and the most noble man Mohammed”. “Spui” is a very particular Dutch word referring to the “polder” image . That Ayaan is able to do this, is blamed on the Islamic “Umma”, the community, which “is forsaking its task to resist injustice and evil and is sleeping of its drunken stupor”. This is an allusion to the Islamic duty to order what is good and to prohibit evil, as is written in Quran 3:110. Orders and prohibition have naturally to be enforced, which is that which Mohammed B. does. In a culture in which alcohol is prohibited the second part of the accusation, that a “drunken stupor is being slept off” is rather severe. It does not go too far to state that average Muslims will feel intimidated.

Mohammed B. further states that his letter is an attempt to silence evil. It is a pity he has not stopped at the letter and put his trust in God. In this paragraph he twice uses the phrase “if God wills it”, which is a prescribed formulae for statements concerning the future. Only a real atheist would leave out this phrase, many Muslims believe. Mohammed B. says that he holds it against Ayaan that she has proposed to “screen Muslims on ideology for job applications”. Mohammed B.’s choice of words makes it crystal clear that he himself realises that he is not spreading a religion, but an ideology. Any appeal to the constitutional freedom of religion that he or his lawyers or his companions would like to make is undermined in advance by Mohammed B. himself. There is freedom of religion in The Netherlands, which is widely respected. This is less so for the freedom of ideology. Fascism and Marxism are not well respected, or worse.

Next follows nearly a full page of standard anti-Semitism, including maimed Talmud quotes circulating on the internet. Especially Van Aartsen, leader of the VVD and the mayor of Amsterdam, Job Cohen are mentioned. It is to the legal specialists whether these anti-Semitic statements are a punishable offence according to the Dutch penal code.

Before reaching the end of the second page Mohammed gets a new thought. He reminds readers of a TV-broadcast in which Ayaan Hirsi Ali asks Muslim children on an Islamic school to make “a choice between their creator and the constitution”. This was not exactly what happened. The children were asked whether they should be more obedient to the laws of Islam or the laws of the Kingdom. Ayaan’s phrasing may not have been fine tuned to the children, but this is of course a problem which occurs with every religion with a legalistic structure. It would not be strange if an Islamic school would pay attention to this question. Mohammed passes the seriousness of the question by and shouts that Ayaan has used the answer of these “pure, young souls” have “immediately been abused“ for another “crusade”. Unfortunately he leaves it at that. An expose concerning which laws take precedence according to Mohammed B. would have been appropriate at this junction and have clarified matters. The assassins of Sadat (1981) have dared to address this matter in their self-justification letter. Naturally they choose Islamic law.

Now the atmosphere grows dark. Everything knows its end and dies, writes Mohammed B. “Death … is the common theme of all which exists” reads the text on top of page three of the document. A free paraphrasing of Quranic fragments which describe the Day of the Last Judgement. “Fear will fill the atmosphere that day” is the last sentence of the paraphrase. “Atmosphere” is not a word which fits this idiom. That Mohammed B. uses it anyway shows that his college education has not been in vain . A loose translation of Quran fragments follows, which are printed centre page. It is Quran 81:1-14, but verse 5 is omitted and then Quran 80:34-42. Both fragments deal with the terrors of the Last Judgement painted in what may be called flashing, tacky colours.

Then Mohammed B. follows Quran 2:94-95, daring Ayaan to “chose death” to prove that she is really confident of her own words. After all Mohammed B. requests God to “grant him death”, to “gladden him with martyrdom” (middle page 4). Mohammed B. thinks that if Ayaan does not accept this challenge, she shows herself to be “a committer of injustices”. It seems that logic her is far and wide to be found at face value, and Quran 2:94 and 2:95 are difficult verses indeed.

Quran 2:94 ends with “wish ye then death, if ye are right” – which possibly has to be understood as “Stand ye with your life for what you believe”. Quran 2:95 states: “but they shall not want to on account of their previous deeds”. That the main protagonists, almost certainly the unbelievers, are referred to with “ye” in verse 94 and “they” in verse 95 does not allow for easy understanding either. What the Quran most likely says here, is that the unbelievers do not want to die for their conviction, because they are guilty of unbelief (and will receive heavy retribution after their death).

MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali (or any other MP) is not eager to die for her membership of Parliament. Muslims such as Mohammed B. on the other hand are eager to shed their life for what they view as the good cause, which possibly gives Islam a tactical – strategic advantage in conflicts with others. That those who do not believe in heavenly compensation of martyrdom rather not become martyrs is a true statement and certainly relevant in Islam’s fight against the Non-Muslims. Verses 2:94 and 2:95 may look out of place and the challenge to Ayaan is difficult to comprehend for those without an intimate knowledge of the Quran, but in its own context it is definitely no nonsense and certainly pertains to the struggle that Mohammed B. has picked up for himself.

Mohammed B. now returns to the decline of Islam, judging that this decline has an upside. “Islam is like a dead plant, which through years of pressure and extremely high temperatures is turned into a diamond”. On the hardness of this diamond, according to Mohammed B., Ayaan will batter herself to pieces and “Islam will be victorious through the blood of the martyrs”. Islam will then “with the sword drive evil back to its dark cave”. With all this flowery speech it is a good thing to remember that “evil” here are the Non-Muslims. The present “struggle which has commenced” judges Mohammed B. “is different from all previous struggles”, for “the unbelieving fundamentalists started it”. The text does not give a clear indication what Mohammed B. is referring to. “All previous struggles” can only be understood as a reference to Jihad which took Islam in the centuries after Mohammed’s death from Mecca and Medina to Portugal, the Balkans and Pakistan. It is more difficult to see what Mohammed B. views as the beginning of the “struggle which commenced”. He cannot refer to the assassination of Theo van Gogh, which had not taken place at the time that the document was written. Moreover it must be something that has been initiated by the “unbelieving fundamentalists”. It can almost only be the criticism of Islam, initiated by Hirsi Ayaan Ali. And “unbelieving fundamentalist“ is a choice of words which Mohammed B. has previously used to refer to Hirsi Ayaan Ali in this letter.

In a European context the criticism of Islam is nothing special. Compared to what has been said about Christianity it is not impressive at all. Over the other religions, aside from Islam, which have believers in Europe there has been criticism and ridicule for decades and even centuries, without the faithful getting seriously upset. It happens that people get angry, but people do not take to arms. And in Islamic literature Christianity is attacked in a rude, crude and rough manner. Mohammed B. has a very odd way to use two different yardsticks here. Muslims may criticise and ridicule Christianity and Judaism , but criticising, let alone ridiculing Islam is not allowed. Even the worst enemy of Ayaan has never said she ridiculed Islam, concerned is only her academic criticism of Islam and her freedom to leave Islam like any other religion.

Murderers like Mohammed B. are thusly truly concerning themselves with the freedom of the debate about religions. He turns himself, by addressing his letter to a MP, straight against the Dutch system as it exists. Opening the debate about Islam is regarded by Mohammed B. as fundamentalist aggression. That is promising for academic freedom and the debates on the opinion pages. Truly Mohammed B. continues the somewhat childish sounding “unbelieving fundamentalists started it” with: “no discussions, no demonstrations, no parades, no petitions” only “death will separate Truth from lies”. To comply with this requirement The Netherlands will become a completely different country without discussion, demonstration and petitions, three fundamental rights of democracy.

The last page of the document starts with a Quran quote: Quran 62:8: “Death, for which the unbelievers flee, will overtake them. Then they will be brought back to [God], He who knows what is hidden and what is observable (=He who knows everything ). Oddly enough Mohammed B. misses a word again, he omits the “observable”. If a Non-Muslim would be so careless with a text it would certainly lead to complaints, if not worse.

Mohammed B. continues to quote Moses, the main protagonist of the exodus of the Israelites. To call the Israelite Moses by his name goes too far, it would seem. Mohammed B. mentions “a great prophet”. Quran 17:102 where Moses, in a scene which led to the well-known “let my people go” tells Pharaoh: “I do really believe, o Pharaoh that you are doomed”. “Pharaoh” is in Quran and in present Islam a standard code for an unjust, Anti-Islamic ruler or power. Mohammed B. wants to explain this, so he writes “we will use similar words [synonyms for Pharaoh, HJ]” which he does immediately and four times: I know for sure that you
Oh USA, oh Europe, oh Netherlands, oh Hirsi Ali are doomed. Is it treason for the possessor of a Dutch passport to pronounce the wish that The Netherlands will perish? The legal councils will know the answer.

Follows a fifth time “I know for sure that you, unbelieving fundamentalist will perish”. This cannot refer to Ayaan, for she was mentioned the fourth time and Mohammed uses female addresses when referring to Ayaan in his letter. Could it be that he is referring to Theo van Gogh who has remained unmentioned in this letter? It almost cannot be else.

Follows an Arabic phrase in Latin script which is used as frequently as it is difficult to translate: “God suffices us and good is he as a Carer, good is he as a Master and good is he as a Helper”. The letter closes with a signature, three Arabic words in Latin script: “the sword of the religion, the partisans of Tawhid”. (Arabic: Saifu d-deen al-muwahheed”, though Mohammed spells it differently. Tawhid is the classical term for the “Unity”, the Islamic dogma about the total unity of God. It could be a reference to the Tawhid mosque , but probably it is not.

The last, sixth page contains a poem, which indeed rhymes. In this poem Tawhid is also mentioned spelled this time as Tawheed . This time it is certain to be a reference to the unity of God. Mohammed B. calls his fellows the “knights of DEATH”. Well, it is difficult not to pass judgement on such a qualification. What should we do in this world, which is for the living, with the “Knights of death”? The one-but-last line of the poem is remarkable: “to the hypocrites I say: ”wish ye DEATH of shut up and … sit”. The capitalisation of “death” is still Mohammed B.’s. “Hypocrites” is a translation of the Arabic munafiqun, generally used to indicate saltless fellow warriors of Islam. The line about “hypocrites” is certainly referring to those who are usually called “moderate Muslims” and not to Ayaan or Theo van Gogh. The three dots are in the original. The “sit” is called into being partly by the rules of rhyme, yet there is more. It could be an allusion to Quran 9:45-46, where the Quran praises those who do Jihad and tells the ones who do not feel like it that they should sit at home. But another more Dutch explanation seems better. “Sit” is written in the imperative, it is the command that a macho dog owner gives his dog. For the moderate Muslims it is a good and fitting thing to know that Mohammed thinks about them like that. (As you know, Islam regards dogs as unclean).

That the document closes with a poem, is entirely in style. The murderers of Sadat ended the document in which they explained their theology/ideology with a poem . But as this poem usually appeared on the last page it got lost in many editions. That it belonged to the original document, is certain in the case of the murderers of Sadat. With some exertion of the brain it may be proved that Theo van Gogh is mentioned in the document prepared by his killer, though not by name. But what is the general drift of this document? In the first place that the author categorically opposes the Dutch system in its entirety, regarding it “Taghout” (authority that refuses to recognise the superiority of Islam). In its stead Mohammed B. places the use of religious violence. The letter may contain an allusion to Theo van Gogh, the victim of the murder, but the letter wastes not one word to mention the little film Submission. The letter addresses a MP because Members of Parliament represent and symbolize the existing democratic order. Without the murder this document would have been thrown in a waste paper bin by a staffer of a political party. Now it has been distributed to the editors’ rooms of all Dutch media.

Secondly any debate on the nature of Islam is regarded by the author as a cardinal sin. This goes rather far. Until recently the mainstream teaching was that leaving Islam was a cardinal sin. However that has now been extended to anyone who criticises Islam. This does not entirely go against tradition. The Islamic theologian Ibn Taimiyya (about 1300 AD) of Damascus has written a pamphlet about a Christian who said something about Islam and the title of the book was: “The drawn sword, over those who insult the messenger of God”. The drift of the title is clear: those who insult the prophet must die. This Ibn Taimmiyya is not an obscure theologian of the Middle Ages; he is regarded by Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabis as their great source of inspiration. It is Saudi-Arabia which, wittingly or unwittingly, concretely finances Jihadist Islam. The arrogant way in which Mohammed B. almost unnoticed addresses his fellow Muslims as dogs is also in line with Wahhabist traditions , who (in the days before oil wealth ended financial worries of the Arabians) kept themselves occupied with Jihad against the Muslim occupants of the Arabian peninsula and the South of Iraq, because the movement on the basis of dogmatic considerations thought it was correct to regard these Muslims as Kafir (“unbelievers”). Waging Jihad in this regard means firstly “to rob”, further possibly “kill” and “sell as a slave”.

The traditional Islamic theological nomenclature for “regard as Kafir” is Takfir. Takfir and Tawhid are the two spearheads of Wahhabi ideology. The AIVD is right to state that the assassin of Theo van Gogh and the extremists are coming from the camp of the Takfir movement. This is not the most attractive face of Islam.

The Wahhabists have been compared to the Ku Klux Klan. That comparison was meant as a consolation: “the Wahhabis are not that important”. In a certain way that is true. But we must not forget that the struggle between the Land of the Free and the KKK cost many lives. Also the struggle against “the knights of Death” of Mohammed B. and possibly the Wahhabis will not be for those of squeamish inclination and has already cost one person a life: the life of Theo van Gogh.

Amsterdam, January 2005

White working class

The (British) Telegraph has an article on the legally hateble group in the West: the White working class:

"This kind of repellent snobbery and prejudice was captured in an extraordinary outburst from newspaper columnist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. Condemning white working-class Britons as "either too lazy or too expensive to compete" in the new era of multi-racialism, she wrote that "tax-paying immigrants past and present keep indolent British scroungers on their couches drinking beer and watching TV"."

Even though:
"According to the Office of National Statistics, 35 per cent of Muslim households have no adult in employment, more than twice the national average, though no liberal columnist would dream of ever writing about "Muslim scroungers"."

NepNL has:
"then we have 92% (2001 census) of the population committing 4000 racist woundings, and 8% of the population committing 20,000. This means that non whites are 57 times more likely than whites to wound someone in a racist incident!"

Read the whole Telegraph article on the white working class and notice the comments section!

Multiculturalism

Multiculturalism according to Fjordman:

"Multiculturalism thus originally had its roots in a cultural identity crisis in the West, but it was quickly expropriated by groups with their own agendas. This period, the 1960s and 70s, was also the birth of the Western Cultural Revolution, a hippie youth rebellion against the established Western culture and institutions that was deeply influenced by Marxist-inspired ideologies. The anti-Western component in Multiculturalism suited them just fine. Following the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s and early 90s, when economic Marxism suffered a blow in credibility although it didn’t die, larger segments of the Western political Left switched to Multiculturalism and mass immigration as their political life insurance, and wielded the censorship of Political Correctness and “anti-racism” as an ideological club to beat their opponents and continue undermining Western institutions."

Multiculturalism is a ideological club in the hands of the elites to beat their populations into quivering submission.

Istanbul Cultural Capital of Europe

Zaman (Time) has more news:"The European Commission has approved a jury recommendation declaring Istanbul as the cultural capital of Europe for 2010."

According to Wikipedia:

"The European Capital of Culture is a city designated by the European Union for a period of one year, during which it is given a chance to showcase its cultural life and cultural development."

Visitors to Istanbul may also visit the famous Fatih mosque in Istabul. This Mosque was commissioned by Sultan Mehmet II to commemorate the vicory over Orthodox Greek Christianity and the capturing of Constantinople for Islam.

"Fatih" is also a choice name that Turks in Europe give to their firstborn son, after marrying and converting a Christian wife.

"Fatih" means victory.

Turkey suspends military co-operation with France

From Zaman, an Islamist Turkish newspaper:"Turkish Land Forces Commander Ilker Basbug announced that Turkey has suspended military relations with France following hot debates after the French Parliament adopted a draft bill making it a crime to deny that Turks committed genocide against Armenians last century."

Ilker Basbug is the Senior Commander of the Turkish Army. Only Yasar Buyanit, Chief of Staff of the Turkish Defense Forces is higher in rank. The Turkish Defense Establishment is the main guarantor of secularism in Ataturk's Turkey and very influential in the country's political system.

France is, behind the scenes, using its influence to stop Turkey joining the European Union. The two country's seem to be on a political collision course.

Port of Rotterdam is being prepared for Terr attack

The Royal Dutch Army (Dutch) is conducting excercises "National Titan" and "Grensweg" this week. The area where the exercise is conducted is Rotterdam Port, volume- and revenueswise the biggest port in the world, and in the Southern province of North-Brabant.

300 soldiers are gaming a situation in which the country faces large scale power outages after terrorist actions elsewhere in Europe.

The troops will mostly operate mostly from Fire Brigade Barracks. The unit that is doing the exercise is the 101 Communication and Information Systems Battallion ("101 Communicatie en Informatie Systemen bataljon"), belonging to the 101 Fighting Support Brigade ("101 Gevechtssteunbrigade")

The Interior Ministry is organising the "Grensweg" exercise.

Free Speech victory in Britain

The leader of the far-right British National Party walked free from court overnight after being cleared on race hate charges in a re-trial.

Nick Griffin, who was acquitted of using words or behaviour intended or likely to stir up racial hatred, emerged from the courthouse making the victory sign as supporters greeted him waving flags, wielding bottles of champagne and chanting "Freedom".

Nick Griffin commented:

This party is now an icon of resistance to the forcibly imposed multi-cultural experiment which has failed.

And that is right. Multiculturalism is a failure. To point this out however is thought crime.

The British Labour Party is waking up to their core constituency flocking to the BNP:

Mr Cruddas, a former Downing Street aide and MP for Dagenham where the BNP won 11 council seats in May’s local elections, said the party was thriving in poor communities where people had given up on the Government.

However the political cartel already has and answer to the conundrum it is now facing:

Any preaching of religious or racial hatred will offend mainstream opinion in this country and I think we have got to do whatever we can to root it out, from whatever quarter it comes

said Gordon Brown, Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Totalitarian dictatorship anyone? The wonderful fruits of Multiculturalism and mass-immigration.

Those who wax so eloquently about "diversity" really hate "diversity of thought".

Grenade hits the press in Amsterdam

The printing presses of three newspapers, two of them national was hit by a grenade attack in Amsterdam, last night.


The newspaper printing press is located in Duivendrecht, a seedy suburb in Amsterdam South-East. The premesis was hit last night at 03:00 o'clock.

The newspapers printed there are Trouw, Volkskrant and Parool.

It is unclear who or what is behind the attack. Or what they want. Angry Muslims? The Amsterdam "penose" mafia?

Dutch PM in trouble

Dutch PM J.P. Balkenende got in hot water today over his comment on the death penalty for Saddam Hussain. The PM commented: "The death penalty is a fitting punishment for Hussain, if we look at the kind of ruler he was". He then noted that The Netherlands is against the death penalty.

The Leftwing opposition is raising a storm over these comments and insist that the PM should have ruled out the death penalty.

This is "the Church of the Left" in action.

They know that the PM is a rightwinged Christian and that these often are in favour of capital punishment. They know too that a growing minority of Dutchmen is in favour of capital punishment. Polls show that more than 40 percent of the population favours capital punishment.

The political class in The Netherlands and Europe is monolithic in its pursuance of Leftwing utopianism, however and does not tolerate dissent.

Muslim Terr hears 15 years

The Amsterdam Organised Crime and Terrorism Court (Dutch) today heard a 15 years jail term demanded.

Samir "we hate you fellows" Azzouz is a member of the "Hofstad" terror cell.

Samir Azzouz was on trial with six other suspects. They all heard sentences demanded of between one and 15 years.

2 years

This is the spot where Theo van Gogh died exactly 2 years ago.

Honour the Truth teller!

Dutch politicians plan to prop up failing press

As a result of the growth of internet usage and free newspapers for newsgathering purposes the MSM in The Netherlands sees its readership and financial position rapidly detoriating. As the pundit caste is a trusted pen and propagandist of the political class (Dutch) the latter is coming to the aid of the former.

A parliamentary majority of the Christian Democrats and the oppositional Labour Party have proposed to extend the subsidies given to the press. Minister Maria van de Hoeven of Education, Culture and Science has reacted positively to the proposal. It has been recommended that she will appoint a commission and the commission will come to conclusions and recommendations.

What do YOU think the commission shall recommend, my dear reader?

Rabble rousing imam called for Van Gogh's death

Two months before Van Gogh was killed by Mohammed Bouyeri, the assassin attended a sermon by Imam Fawaz Jneid in the As Soennah Mosque in The Hague.

In testimony given yesterday by Soumaya S., a female member of the Hofstadgroup terror cell she informed the judges that the group had heard a inflammatory sermon by the Imam. In the sermon the Imam calls on Allah to kill Van Gogh and Ayaan Hirsi Ali by illness and calls on the faithfull to take action that will "shake" The Netherlands out of its self-assurance.

During the sermon which was recorded and stored at the De Volkkrant newspaper archives the Imam also called for moderate actions such as the writing of letters to the VVD, the political party which was the party of Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

Dutch experts on Islam called the sermon "very inflammatory" especially when listened to by "a twenty year old Muslim" and "disgusting" when the Imam calls for a cancer in Ayaan's head and her tongue.

UPDATE001:

Minister of Immigration (Dutch) and Naturalization Verdonk has said that the sermon of the Imam is absolutely not on. She is investigating his legal status and announced that if she sees a opportunity to evict the Imam from the country she will do so.

Verdonk has sofar evicted 4 or 5 Imams for incitement.

Interestingly the leader of the VVD, Verdonk's party, Mark Rutte, is under attack because of the bad showing of his part in the polls. There will be elections this month. Rutte is being overshadowed by Verdonk. Rutte and most other politicians are keeping immigration, multiculturalism, EU constitution out of the debate, because these issues are too explosive. Verdonk's electoral profile is impoved by these gestures.

The new Slowkrieg

Jkayce wrote in reply to my article called Terrorists with Nukes: "I think the Western world better prepare itself for a traumatic shockwave, especially the USA.

Once the USA has been brought down on its knees and it has ceased to be a worldpower, where does that leave us in Europe, where does that leave Israel?"

Snouck:
Let me reply with a question: What do Europe and Israel need the USA for?

What will the US fight against? The USA still does not define the enemy, paralysed as it is by Political Correctness. Their President and the Right-Wing media is completely paralysed. The USA intervened in the Bosnian War - on the side of the Muslims!!

They send massive armies around to globe to bring democracy to Muslims and are surprised when the Muslim voters elect Anti-Western governments. What good can come from this USA?

Next they will send their army to France to help the rioters take over France in the name of democracy!

In 1997 the current Prime Minister of Turkey, Erdogan, quoted a poem called "Asker Duasi":

"Mosques are our barracks, domes our helmets, minarets our bayonets, believers our soldiers."

And the invasion by these forces into Europe continues year after year.

Do we need the US Army to fight our fight with Islam?

We need to stop the invasion ourselves. We think a war is fought with tanks and airplanes, but this one is taking place by people in civilian cloths and vehicles, yet it is a surely robbing Europeans of control over their societies as if they had come in the vehicles of war. This is the Islamic Slowkrieg, the opposite of Blitzkrieg.

We do not need tanks and artillery to stop them, but to turn the political process in our favour.

The USA is no help in this war. They are allowing Muslims, Mexicans and the rest of the world to take over their society at a higher pace than we are letting the Muzzies in. They fight an offensive, lost, 2nd World War, type of war in lands that are not theirs and forget to take defensive measures to shield their own society.

With such friends one has no need for enemies.

What will it take for you to wake up, Kayce?

Grain of Salt

Desmond Jones:
"You have to take Paul Williams and Frontpage with a grain or maybe a truck load of salt."

Snouck:
The core of the article is the acquisition of Nuclear Arms by non-state actors, in this case Al-Qaeda. The fact staring us in the face is that Nuclear arms will not remain a State momopoly. Nuclear proliferation is a function of technology proliferation and with universities in the (former) Third World churning out Engineering graduates. The nuclear industry is being privatised so its technology will come or has already come into the hands of non-state actors. Check the wiki entry on A.Q. Khan, who is also mentioned in the Frontpagemag article.

Up until the late 1950ies only the Soviet Empire and the West had the know-how to built certain complicated devices.

We saw already with the latest round of fighting that the Iranians are now able to build sophisticated weapons that are a match for the weapons that Israel builds, such as fire guidance systems, anti-ships missiles and UAVs. Transferring these weapons to a non-state actor: Hizbollah. With interesting effects for all to see.

And with this the age of Industrial Warfare is becoming obsolete as well as the social system it has spawned: the Western Nation State.

Paving the way for an assassination

Geert Wilders, the founder and leader of the Freedom Party was demonised during a televised debate between the leaders of the political parties.

Pechthold the leader of D66 (Democrats) quoted Wilders: "a Tsunami of Islamisation (Dutch) is threatening The Netherlands". According to Pechthold this is "too disgusting to put into words".

We have seen this level of demonisation before, leading up to the assassination of Pim Fortuyn.

Wilders replied that he wants a total immigration stop for non-Westerners for 5 years and in addition putting stop to building any Mosques. "Calling me names and putting one's head in the sand as D66 has done for 30 years are not helpful" he said.

Wilders received no support from the other leaders of the political parties. The leader of the Greens, Femke Halsema, said that Wilders opposes the Freedom of Religion by opposing the building of Islamic Religous building, coyly overlooking the fact that Islam is the biggest enemy of Freedom of Religion on the planet.

Freedom Party Activists assaulted by Muslims

Two volunteers of the new hardline conservative "Partij van de Vrijheid" (Freedom Party) of Geert Wilders have been beaten up Friday night by five or six Muslims (Dutch). The volunteers were putting up election posters for the Freedom Party when the Moroccans assaulted them on the Carnagieplein, according to a police spokesman.

The volunteers were lightly injured and their car was damaged. The Muslims have not been apprehended but mayor Deetman of The Hague promised that the police will actually investigate the matter and try to arrest them.

Security is a big issue for the Freedom Party. The party founder needs bodyguards on a permanent basis. All party events have to be guarded and all visitors to events of the fledgling party have to identify themselves and are frisked and scanned for guns, boms and knives.

A costly and cumbersome way to operate, which makes the build-up of the party relatively hard compared to the work of Leftist parties who see the numer of voters growing as a result of the growth of the immigrant communities that vote exclusively (95 percent plus) Leftist.

The political class is continuing to dissolve the people and electing a new one.

Terrorists with Nukes

An ESSENTIAL read: this is the end of the nation-state, as we know it.

A Frontpage Magazine symposium on the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Not to states such as North-Korea or Iran. But to terrorist groups: such as al-Qaeda.

Paul Williams at FrontPage:"there is empirical proof that al-Qaeda possesses nukes. In 2000, British agents posed as recruits from a London mosque to infiltrate al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan. In Herat, they saw nuclear weapons being manufactured. Similarly, an al-Qaeda operative was arrested while crossing the Allenby Bridge toward the checkpoint at Ramallah in Israel in a rusty old Volkswagen van. Within the van, Mossad discovered a bomb which turned out to be a highly sophisticated plutonium-implosion device with an explosive yield of 10 kilotons (equivalent to the bomb dropped on Hiroshima)."

AND

Hamid Mir at FrontPage: "In the next few years, I came to know that Al Qaeda had a big brigade of nuclear and chemical experts who conducted a dirty bomb test in the mountains of Kunar in 2000."

Al-Queda has a group of nuclear scientists from Pakistan's nuclear establishement, working on development and maintainance of nuclear weapons. They are part of Dr. Khan's network of nuclear technologists.

The origin of the weapons is unsupervised Soviet stocks. Supervision of these weapons stocks was interrupted in the collapse of the Soviet Empire in 1990. Germany has wisely funded a program to prevent these weapons and technologies from falling in the wrong hands, but this has clearly not been enough.

Apart from the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima nuclear weapons have never been used in war. The USA could bomb Japan without fear for retaliation or what is called Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).

A transsnational network like al-Queda is not a target. This makes the threat from Al-Quada a VERY serious threat, unlike the threat from North-Korea or Iran, which are sitting ducks, just like the Nation States of Europe and North America.

Al-Queda can attack, but being so dispersed and invisible hidden in the cultural fabric of Middle Eastern societies and it colonies elsewhere, it cannot be counter-attacked. Think about that.

Verdonk gets apology from Achmed the Amsterdam Aelderman

A week ago I wrote that Amsterdam Aelderman Achmed Aboutaleb accused Minister of Immigration and Intergration Rita Verdonk of "capitalizing on the murder of Theo van Gogh". The filmmaker was assassinated by a Jihadist in November 2004.

"Iron" Liberal-Conservative (VVD) Rita Verdonk, demanded an apology. She would not meet him until he would "go through dust". Mayor Job Cohen (Labour) tried to save the face of the big Muslim hope of the Labour Party, by insisting that Aboutaleb had apologized.

Monday, after heavy critizism from all sides the Muslim Aelderman (Dutch) apologized fully to Verdonk.

The episode is important. Aboutaleb is supposed to draw the votes for Labour from the moderate Muslims in Amsterdam, especially the Moroccans. For a Muslim man to apologize to a woman is a big thing and it will have damaged Aboutaleb's voter appeal considerably.

The votes will go to other leftist parties or more Muslim voters, who have a below 50 percent voting participation rate will stay home when the elections are held.

The Price of Immigration

At Amnation Mr. Laurence Auster wrote:

A friend has repeatedly raised this question and perhaps there is a VFR reader who can answer it: How is it that (1) Europe needs an ongoing flood of Muslim immigrants to work and pay taxes to support Europe’s pension plans; but (2) the European economy is stagnant and Muslims are unskilled, socially isolated, unemployed, and on the dole?

this question has been raised for and answered by a Dutch investigative journalist in 1999. Pieter Lakeman published a 194 page book: "Binnen zonder kloppen" ("Enter without knocking"). The book writes about the early history of Muslim immigration in the 1960ies to the presents, calculates to cost of immigrants to Dutch taxpayers (about 70 billion guilders between 1965 and 1995) and makes some projections about the cost per family of immigrants entering the Netherlands in that time (about 8.000 families of 5 persons per year on a 15 million population, each costing a projected 900.000 guilders over their lifetime or approx. 450.000 US Dollars. Added up that is 3.6 billion dollars or about 0.5 % percent of Dutch GNP asylum related costs incurred per year, during the 90ies).

The book also addresses the 60ies employer's lobby for cheap immigrant labour when the labour market was tight and the opposition to it from the Left. Also he shows that in the 80ies and later immigration increasingly became an ideological matter to the Left, who reversed their earlier position and silenced all opposition to it from the newer smaller Leftist (Socialist Party) and Right (Centrum Democrats).

The reason for continued immigration is that it has become ideological prop for Liberalism. The economic rational is a non-sensical standard retort to silence opposition from the "Right", who these days mostly think in economic terms and free markets.

Fourteen hundred muslims radicals in Amsterdam

Another piece of research into Muslims in The Netherlands.

IMES has found that 2 percent, 1400 Muslims (Dutch) living in the Amsterdam re on the verge of joining or forming extremist groups of Muslims who want to assault Dutch society through terror.

The cause of the anger of the Muslims is the constant battering by the media of Muslims and the situation in the Middle East.

Verdonk versus the rest of the world

Amsterdam (Dutch) City Executive and Labour Party politician Achmed Aboutaleb accused Immigration and Integration Minister Rita Verdonk of using the murder of Theo van Gogh for political capital.

Minister Verdonk reacted by:

demanding an apology from Amsterdam city executive Ahmed Aboutaleb, following his accusation that Verdonk made political capital from the murder of film-maker Theo van Gogh. Verdonk called his accusation a ‘scandalous twisting of the facts’. Verdonk has also pulled out of a debate with Aboutaleb scheduled for Sunday.

This afternoon the issue came up in the Amsterdam city council in a motion supported by the Christian Democrats (CDA) and the Liberal-Conservatives (VVD).

Aboutaleb refused to apologize to Verdonk but said he was sorry. He refused to go further. The meeting was ajourned and afterwards Major Job Cohen issued a statement that the words of Aelderman Aboutaleb should be understood as a apology.

We will see how Mrs. Verdonk reacts.

Young Turks turn towards militant Islam

The National Co-ordinator for Counter Terrorism (Dutch) NCTb Tjibbe Joustra wrote in his three-monthly report that young Turks in the Netherlands are increasingly under the spell of Islamic groups that want to overtrow the power that be and promote Sharia through violence.

Sofar it was mostly Moroccans who were recruited by such groups.

Turks were mostly oriented toward their own community and were not attracted to violent Islamic groups. Due to the increasing resistance in Dutch society against Islam and Muslims in general, plus the news coverage of the events in the Middle East young Turks are now turning against Dutch society.

The Turkish organisation Milli Görüs has denied that Turks are joining terrorist cells and said that their imams are countering the trend.

Christian Labour Union withdraws proposal to make Eid a Holiday

Christian Labour Union CNV has withdrawn a plan to exchange a banking holiday for Eid, the Muslim (Dutch) feast ending the Ramadan fast.

The idea was to exchange the day after Easter, which is a banking holiday in The Netherlands, for a banking holiday on Eid.

The offices of the Christian Labour Union were overwhelmed by hundreds of phonecalls from irate members, who were often "in an highly emotional state" (Dutch).

Christian suspended from job for the wearing of the Cross

Nadia Aweida, a Coptic Christian employee of British Airways, has been suspended from her job of the wearing of the Christian Cross.

"Heathrow check-in worker Nadia Eweida was sent home after refusing to remove the crucifix which breached BA's dress code"

The BA dress code does not object to Muslems interrupting work to pray or even Sihks wearing their Turban.

"Under rules drawn up by BA's 'diversity team' and 'uniform committee', Sikh employees can even wear the traditional iron bangle - even though this would usually be classed as jewellery - while Muslim workers are also allowed prayer breaks during work time"

BA has a tradition of silly pc adherence: "A decade ago it attempted to ditch its traditional Union Flag tailfin in favour of an ethnic design - which provoked the anger of Baroness Thatcher."

The management of BA is a bunch of spineless, atheist sons of Onan. They despise their own religious and national heritage. That is their choice. I understand that BA is a privately owned firm, and as far as I am concerned private firms should be able to hire and fire at their own discretion. If BA's management wishes its entire workforce to consist of Turban'd Sihks and Hijab'd Muslimas it could not please me more.

I would look forward to see competition against BA from White Christian Male Airlines (WCMA). "The airline you can trust".

We all know such an airline would never be allowed to exist.

The bonds of trust, so essential for the functioning of society are being undermined by Multiculturalism and PC. Society is already fraying at the edges. Once trust has been sufficiently undermined, anarchy will tear apart the state, whether it is at the national level or at the supranational level (EU).

Trust having been undermined, society will be severly hamstrung by cynism. That is our future.

Islamofascism

Conservative's dream

In the rightwing blogosphere there is a tendency to talk about "Islamofascism". When talking of the threat of the believers of Islam agaqinst Western societies.

I think the Muslims should be simply called Muslims and no connection should be made to recent European history.

Islam is 1.400 years old and has been a threat to its neighbours during that time. Fascism is 85 years old. I know of no modification in Islam in the last 85 years in order to align it to fascism.

However there is such a thing as Fascism in Islam. An example is e.g. Turkey. The Turkish "Grey Wolves" or "ideologues" are both Fascists and Muslims.

The Grey Wolves are a very strong force in Turkish politics together with the "Islamic prosperity" movement of Erdogan, the current premier of Turkey. Both used the Turkish diaspora in Western Europe to increase their strength.

The West a sanctuary for the Jihadist Islam and Turkish Fascism

Because the Turkish state has little power over the Turkish communities in Western Europe they can fundraise, recruit and print literature there. About 40 percent of the Dutch and German Turks used to support the Grey Wolves and another 40 percent the Islamic Prosperity party.

Now that Western government have stopped guarding their borders and populations, transnational movements like these (think of Latin American criminal organisations in the USA) find sanctuaries in which they can build up their strength. Our governments keep their eyes shut, Westerners are powerless and our enemies multiply and beset us.

Middle Eastern secularism not so kosher

Another thing is, the secular Turkish state that some Westerners wax about so eloquently has a very strong "State worship" element to it. In order to weaken the appeal of Islam Kemal Ataturk turned the state in an object of veneration, which is very much alike to Communism, Fascism and Nazism. Kemal Ataturk is still venerated like a god by pro-American circles in the Turkish State, especially the army.

Furthermore I could write a similar story about the Syrian and Iraqi Baath party, which have strong fascist tendencies in order to counterbalance the strength of Islam in their societies.

If you mix Western society with a non-western society such as Middle Eastern societies, as happens when you:
a. let them invade your society, thru immigration;
b. invade them with your own army
you are bound to find out that all your options are unsavoury.

Better not to mix civilisations and populations.

Pics!

If you want a modern picture of Fascism surf to Ataturks Mausoleum

The real fascism is in the ideas, not in the symbols of course. Still these pictures gives one a good pointer, methinks.

I think that we should discern between Islam and real Islamofascism or Fascism in Muslim societies and not use the latter as a blanket term for things we do not like about Islam.

Fascists in Europe

Finally, in the past 10 years Islamofascism is weakening and Islam is on the rise in Islamic communities in Asia, Middle East and The West. Oh, and socialism ("handouts")is the "monkey" in Turkish society these days. Wish it were so in the West. Curiously Euro-socialists are the biggest benefactors of Muslims in Europe as we saw in the municipal elections in The Netherlands in March and in Belgium last week.

As Pastorius of Infidel Blogger Alliances notes, the Belgian Wallons socialists even put a Turkish Grey Wolf, Murat Denizli, on their list, after endlessy haranguing the Vlaams Belang about being fascist.

Give me a honest fascist any day over such hypocritical scum as these Socialists. At least one knows were one stands.

Brave Britons

The Lost Island

Some good news from the lost island: Britain.

A British General is speaking out against the disastrous Iraq war his country, stating: "(we) get ourselves out sometime soon because our presence exacerbates the security problems". "We are in a Muslim country and Muslims' views of foreigners in their country are quite clear. "As a foreigner, you can be welcomed by being invited into a country, but we weren't invited, certainly by those in Iraq at the time. Let's face it, the military campaign we fought in 2003 effectively kicked the door in.

"That is a fact. I don't say that the difficulties we are experiencing around the world are caused by our presence in Iraq, but undoubtedly our presence in Iraq exacerbates them."

Mirror, mirror on the wall, what is the ugliest reality of all?

The problem of the British Army not fitting in as Westerners in the Middle East is mirrored at home.

When I see the Islamist threat I hope it doesn't make undue progress because there is a moral and spiritual vacuum in this country. Our society has always been embedded in Christian values; once you have pulled the anchor up there is a danger that our society moves with the prevailing wind. "There is an element of the moral compass spinning. I am responsible for the Army, to make sure that its moral compass is well aligned and that we live by what we believe in.

Post-Christian society

"It is said we live in a post-Christian society. I think that is a great shame. The Judaic-Christian tradition has underpinned British society. It underpins the British Army."

Invade the world, invite the world

Britain has joined the USA in the "invade the world, invite the world strategy"

The result is that British soldier, wounded in Iraq find themselves in Hospital wards were they are attacked by Muslim visitors:

"I said to the Defence Secretary (Des Browne) that the Army won’t let the nation down, but I don’t want the nation to let the Army down."

The case of a wounded soldier in Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham being abused by an anti-war civilian showed a breakdown of the covenant."

More on the breakdown of the covenant:

The war on racist girls

A fourteen (14!) year old schoolgirl was arrested an put in isolation and then in a police cell (!!!!!!!!!) for asking to be re-assigned from her 6-pupil group in which there were 4 non-english speaking Asians.

She was punished and intimidated for her racism. She was bullied. By her teachers.

The teachers have ripped up the covenant a long, long time ago. That is why these ideas are in all our heads.

Fjordman's solutions

Fjordman has been writing a series of posts on the European and Western predicament on Gates of Vienna and Brussels Journal. His latest installment comes up with a number of recommendations for Westerners.

His take on it is sharp, Multiculturalism is a tool for the unilateral destruction of Western societies:

Multiculturalism equals western suicide

Multiculturalism is wrong because not all cultures are equal. However, it is also championed by groups with a hidden agenda. Multiculturalism serves as a tool for ruling elites to fool people, to keep them from knowing that they have lost, or deliberately vacated, control over national borders. Leftists who dislike Western civilization use Multiculturalism to undermine it, a hate ideology disguised as tolerance. Multiculturalism equals the unilateral destruction of Western culture, the only unilateral action the West is allowed to take, according to some.

I would like to add: Western supporters of the destruction of the West should be ostracized. If they want to create a new society they should do it at their and their progeny's expense. They ought to stop to drag everybody down with them.

The false choice between Left and Right

Fjordman states:

There are also some libertarian right-wingers and Big Business supporters who see man only as the sum of his economic functions, as cheap labor and consumers, homo economicus. They believe not only in free markets but in free migration, and tend to downplay the impact of culture. They are Islam’s useful idiots in the fight against the West.

My take: due to the false left - right political dichotomy it appears Westerners have a choice and that we have democracy. However we can choose to be destroyed or to be destroyed. The only difference is the size of the state sector. Not much of a choice really.

The acceptable Left and Right in the West have one thing in common. They believe in man as economic man, without any interests outside economic calculations.


The defense of the national State and democracy

Fjordman:

Upholding national borders has become more important in the age of globalization, terrorism and mass-migration, not less. No nation regardless of political system can survive the loss of its territorial integrity, but democratic states especially so. Those who don’t want to uphold national borders are actually tearing down the very foundations of our democratic system, which is based on nation states. The fight for national sovereignty is thus the fight for democracy itself, since nobody has so far made any convincing model of a supranational democracy.

Snouck's commentary:
Most of Fjordman's recommendations have a common thread. They have a strong statist bend to them. For them to be implemented Westerners need to cross a massive obstacle: gaining control of the state. Probably by democratic means. However ther is a problem with that. The political, bureaucratic and media elites are blocking free discussion of issues and blocking the formation of pro-Western parties of movements, calling them Fascist and Nazist. Moreover they are importing large numbers of non-Westerners into Europe and North-America who form voting blocks for the Leftist parties, thus blocking the possibility of achieving any of Fjordman's results using the political process.

Instant citizenship

We have seen this in practice in Belgium and the Netherlands in the 2006 municipal elections. The Dutch municipal elections were in March. A crushing 99 percent of the immigrant vote went to Leftist parties using ethnic candidates to reach ethnic voting blocks. In Belgium the same happened this week. The Belgian political class has created the possibility for foreigners to be naturalised in 3 years. The heavy influx of Muslims in Antwerp and the outflow of Flemish out of that city is stopping the Flemish interest right in its tracks before it can turn the trend around.

Multicultural Glasnost

Fjordman also recommends that European countries get a first amendment guarantueing free speech the way it is protected in the USA. That is a good idea. With free speech Europeans will be able to debate the Leftist-Islamic threat against their societies and convince their compatriots to rally to the banner of Western defense.

I still have to point out that the USA HAS Freedom of Speech. And a Conservative movement. But it does not seem to do them much good, because the rot is too deep. Most American Conservative opinion leaders seem unable to define the enemy: the Leftist-Islamic alliance. Perhaps this will change in the future.

The West must do a Gorbatshov

In the mid 80-ies the belief in Communism imploded in the Soviet Union. The Soviet elites simply gave up on the idea of societal economic equality. The same must happen in Europe and North America, with regards to the idea of cultural and ethnic equality. Opinion leaders must give up on this idea before Western societies will be able to start defending themselves and the current trend of self distruction is stopped.

I must add that creating a platform advocating Fjordman's recommendations in various Western society is never a bad thing. Even if advancement of the cause of the West is blocked by internal enemies, two goals will be achieved:
1. debate and publicity on essential issues;
2. the formation and socialisation of pro-western groups in Western societies.
