Another great piece sent to me by my Cuz.
I am studying world religions in a Philosphy Class. I can tell you, from empirical data in the study, that his facts are accurate and his characterization if Islam is right on. Muslims don't believe in a means of salvation. They believe that their works on earth will be weighed at Judgement and if the good works outweigh the bad, they make it into heaven. The only way a Muslim can assure a place in heaven is being "martyred" through jihad - the holy war. Jidad is not something that comes and goes, it is always with Muslims. Islam means "surrender" and it doesn't mean for them to surrender, it means for the "infidels" to surrender and acknolwege Allah as the one true god or be put to death. That is what we have to look forward to if we remain complacent.

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-Democrati c 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.
