Wilders's Trial and Its Meaning for Us

My blog is dedicated to the message and methods that Geert Wilders advocates. It was clear from when I started to follow his political position against the Muslim incursion in his country, the Netherlands, that he had specific and practical goals in mind. In fact, that is why my graphics include the words:

Putting a stop to the Islamization of the West.

Wilders proclaimed this reaction to Islam more than most writers in Canada and the U.S. dare to. His strategy is clear: identify and reveal what Islam, Jihad and Sharia is all about; find ways to stop this Islamization of his country through a clear immigration policy of stopping Muslims from entering his country; to find ways to remove the more dangerous individuals and groups from within the Islamic community out of the Netherlands so they will not propagate the faith in that Western country rendering it essentially an Islamic one; and to prevent Muslims from practicing Islam in a way that would harm the Western culture in which they live.

As Wilders well knew and said:

The Islamization of our Western culture is a real threat to everything we stand for.

Here is an email I wrote to Bjorn Larsen, who is now the President of the Canadian chapter of the International Free Press Society, reminding him that Wilders's heroism would be in vain if we didn't also follow his examples here.

Hello Bjorn,

I understand there is a rally for Geert Wilders tonight. I believe you will be speaking.

I would have loved to attend, but have a previous engagement.

I am sure there will be more Canadian-related events in the near future.

One of my main points has always been:

Yes, we have terrible events like Wilders's sham trial, the Nigerian Christmas Day bomber, and Westergaard's encounter with a Somali axe-bearer, but:

What are we doing about it?

How are we influencing our various political and media elites?

Of course, the answer is to provide them with clear and succinct plans for:

REMOVING THE OVERWHELMING MUSLIM INFLUENCE IN OUR SOCIETY BY:

- Stopping all immigration of Muslims (from Muslims countries and from the West).

- Repatriating Muslims back to their countries.

Of course, Lawrence Auster has already spelled this out clearly and
fully in various articles.

You can read them all here.

And I have linked to them at my blog Our Changing Landscape.

Thanks again,

Kidist

This is the same message I relayed to Kathy Shaidle a few weeks ago. I understand she will also be speaking in this rally.

My blog quotes Geert Wilders and respects his postions on how to reduce, and remove, the Muslim threat to the Western world.

Clever Calgary Imams Playing it Safe

Some clever imams have signed a petition for Canadian and American Muslims (and imams) to denounce terrorism.

Of course this is a ploy to get Canadians to exclaim: even imams don't like terrorists!

Firstly, the petition never explains who these extremists are. They could be Tamil Tiger terrorists, for all they care, or abortion clinic bombers.

Second, and related to the first, they don't denounce jihad, which is what Muslim "terrorism" is all about. They of course do not see jihad as terrorism, as this frank (for a change) Muslim announced here. So jihad can continue, but terrorism is out.

Third, they are simply lying. Taqqiya is a common strategy by Muslims in times of jihad and war with infidels and infidel countries to gain the upper hand.

Finally, they make very clear that Canada and the U.S. have already accepted Muslims, who entered these countries and are infiltrating them through the original strategy of Hirja or immigration - which is how Mohammed entered and converted Medina into a Muslim city. As the petition says, Muslims can observe every aspect of their religion, from Ramadan to building mosques, in absolute freedom.

All this petition is doing is to try and avoid angry retaliation by Canadians and Americans after the recent bombing attempt on Christmas day by the Nigerian Muslim.

Don't rock the boat, for now, is the message. But, tomorrow, or the next day, or at any other unpredictable moment, Muslim jihadists can (and will) resume their violent incursion into these countries. It is written in the Koran, after all. And it is not terrorism.

Muslim Threat Needs to Be Viewed Holistically

The Jewish Defence League of Canada is planning a "solidarity rally for Dutch fighter Geert Wilders" on January 20th, since on that day, Wilders will be on trial in Amsterdam for "hate speech" against Muslims.

The event will be at the Toronto Zionist Centre, and will include various speakers, as well as a screening of Fitna.

I think it is great that the JDL is taking up this cause and sponsoring the event. I have noticed a trend though, that the Muslim issue is being taken up primarily as an anti-Semite one by important voices.

Ezra Levant, who has been fighting the Human Rights Commissions for publishing the Mohammed Cartoons, seems to have directed his attention to the anti-Semitic nature of Islam and Muslims. This is of course important and a reality, but not the only one.

Perhaps that is why Levant wasn't able to go a much further with his fight. He started off with denouncing Muslims for curtailing free speech and freedom of expression, but that became insufficient to address all the issues around Muslims and Islam. So I think he's redirecting his focus on the anti-Semitic nature of Islam.

The fight against the Muslims isn't simply one of removing their anti-Semitic actions, nor is it simply an issue of liberties. Culture, religion, society, land, tradition, communities, families, are all affected by this. If Levant had this holistic view of the Muslim problem from the start, then he might have been in line as an effective leader against this threat to society.

We Will Pay Dearly for Having Left Our Spiritual Foundations

This is paraphrasing the Archbishop of Prague, Cardinal Miloslav Vlk. He goes on to say:

Europe has denied its Christian roots from which it has risen and which could give it the strength to fend off the danger that it will be conquered by Muslims, which is actually happening gradually.

At the end of the Middle Ages and in the early modern age, Islam failed to conquer Europe with arms. The Christians beat them then. Today, when the fighting is done with spiritual weapons, which Europe lacks while Muslims are perfectly armed, the fall of Europe is looming.

This is what I've been saying, and the reason for which I put the cross at the top of this blog, to indicate that this not only a military war, but also a spiritual one.

The fundamental strength of the previous generations who fought off Islam has always been spiritual. Without that, I think it is impossible to defeat Islam. These generations defeated the Muslims precisely because of their spiritual, Christian, confidence. Arms and religion do go together.

This Is Exactly Right!

The First Canadian Case of Dhimmitude

On December 6, 1989 Mark Lepine/Gamil Gharbi entered the École Polytechnique in Montreal and shot dead fourteen women, and injured ten other women and four men. He later killed himself with a bullet through the head. The Canadian media, and especially feminists, commemorate December 6 as a day to bring awareness to violence against women. It is quite a sacrilegious day.

Barabara Kay, in her December 30th National Post article, writes that this day has finally lost its lustre of "blame the men day," and cultural trends are indicating the demise of feminism - at least the "hate men" variety.

Here is a take on the incident by Mark Steyn:

M. Lepine was born Gamil Gharbi, the son of an Algerian Muslim wife-beater, whose brutalized spouse told the court at their divorce hearing that her husband 'had a total disdain for women and believed they were intended only to serve men.' At 18, young Gamil took his mother’s maiden name. The Gazette in Montreal mentioned this in its immediate reports of the massacre. The name 'Gamil Gharbi' has not sullied its pages in the 12 years since.

The Canadian media, which still insists on calling Gharbi by his French name Lepine, missed the point, as does the usually insightful Barbara Kay. I've always associated Gharbi's killing spree with Muslim/Arab misogyny, something he learned from his father. What gives it away, in my opinion, is the chilling way in which he separated the men from the women - a practice common in Arab/Muslim culture in all aspects of society from mosque attendance to private parties - before shooting them.

Here’s where the dhimmis come in. He ordered fifty men in one class to leave, and shot dead the remaining nine women (and later on five more in his rampage around the building). Fifty men meekly left the room as a single man with a single gun ordered them to do so. Not one man risked his life for his fellow countrywomen, not one had it in him to disarm this murderer.

This is the story that Barabara Kay should be writing about, linking it with the Arab/Muslim story that it surely belongs to, and how it is symbolic of Canada’s first (at least, first public) dhimmitude. Yes, feminism may be on the wane (although I doubt it), but dhimmitude is on the rise, with its accompanying increase in Muslim boldness.
