THIS
SPEECH CLEARLY SHOWS OUR SITUATION IN THE WORLD.....WELL WORTH
READING!
Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament.
America as the last man standing
'In
a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe?'
Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom,
the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an
Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in
Jerusalem.
Dear friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me.
I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old
world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very
difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages
of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and
present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to
America and the sheer survival of the West. The United
States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an
Islamic Europe.
First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe.
Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will
tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.
The Europe you know is changing.
You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these
cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination,
there is another world. It is the world of the parallel
society created by Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim
neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even
seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes
for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves,
where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers
and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if
you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many
street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read.
You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity.
These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics.
These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every
city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for
territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe,
street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe. With
larger congregations than there are in churches. And in
every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that
will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal
is: we rule.
Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take
Amsterdam, Marseille and Malmo in Sweden. In many cities the
majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now
surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is
the most popular name among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be
mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and
that would be an insult to Muslims.
Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to
all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up
almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely
hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to
local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.
In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed
offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is
increasingly true of Darwin. The history of the Holocaust
can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British
legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for
women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died
after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was
drinking during the Ramadan.
Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the
worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is
now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya,
Israel. I could go on forever with stories like this.
Stories about Islamization.
A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe.
San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25
percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years
from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by
the end of this century.
Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be
threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to
assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew
Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their
loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France.
One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks.
The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of
British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate.
Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we
give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.
The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept
sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We
have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey.
Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from
petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance
workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has
seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I
call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they
are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they
come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam.
Therefore, they are settlers.
Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively
against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their
neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover,
Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed
the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and
cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of
peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one,
there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a
mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the
same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in
battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of
war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe
of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good.
If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.
Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it
has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its
essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that
lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person.
Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means
'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and
democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you
want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or
national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most
retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to
the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the
Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I
have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I
support Israel. First, because it is the Jewish homeland
after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz,
second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our
first line of defense.
This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad,
frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing
the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines,
Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in
Indonesia. Israel is simply in the way. The same way
West-Berlin was during the Cold War.
The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a
war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply
receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there
would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found
other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest.
Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and
lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well
and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.
Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to
address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if
Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace
to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a
sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the
contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to
the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the
demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed.
The
end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam,
but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final
battle for world domination. If they can get Israel, they
can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label
any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists'
or 'racists'.
In
my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees
the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake
since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the
biggest threat. Yet there is a danger greater danger than
terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man
standing.
The
lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An
Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an
economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of
military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies,
enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would
be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens
and Jerusalem.
Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My
generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to
us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their
lives. All throughout Europe, American cemeteries remind us
of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we
cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are
merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won
liberty to Europe's children in the same state in which it was
offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and
imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We
cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the
right to do so.
We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic
stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.
