Gates of Vienna exclusive:
As mentioned here last month, the Geert Wilders and the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV) have compiled a report on violence against women in Islam. We owe a debt of gratitude to T.D. for translating the paper into English. The original Dutch version is here [pdf], the PVV-approved English translation here at Gates of Vienna [also pdf].
Violence Against Women in Islam
Party for Freedom
“Why do the human rights activists ignore their suffering as though they do not even exist? Why isn’t the cry of these millions of women heard, and why isn’t it answered by anyone, anywhere? Why? Why? Why?”[1]
— Wajeha al-Huwaider
Introduction
With the mass immigration of recent decades, Islam has made its appearance in our society. And that has meant the arrival of an ideology which is alien to us. Western values such as individual liberty, freedom of speech, separation of church and state, and equality between men and women are achievements that do not exist in Islam. The growing influence of Islam in our society puts those freedoms under pressure. We witness increasing violence against homosexuals, censorship, Islamic anti-Semitism, serious threats against politicians, and even the assassination of a critic of Islam.
But it is not only the non-Muslim world that is faced with the excessive violence and the urge of Islam to curtail freedoms. Within Islam, violence and submission are the rule. The main victims are women. The Dutch government, instead of focusing on countering the Islamization process, combating this violence, and urging women to renounce Islam, gives in and facilitates absurd projects such as separate integration, separate swimming lessons and even separate theater performances. Giving in, looking away or leaving these women to their fate — as the politically correct Netherlands does — is not a solution.
I blame the people who have spent so much time and effort telling people that we all have inherited the guilt of those who committed crimes during the colonial period, they have convinced way too many people we aren’t suppose to fight for our culture, our values and our religion.
