Geert Wilders Speech to the House of Lords, London

From GeertWilders.nl

Thank you. It is great to be back in London. And it is great that this time, I got to see more of this wonderful city than just the detention centre at Heathrow Airport.

Today I stand before you, in this extraordinary place. Indeed, this is a sacred place. This is, as Malcolm always says, the mother of all Parliaments, I am deeply humbled to have the opportunity to speak before you.

Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for your invitation and showing my film ‘Fitna’. Thank you my friends for inviting me.

I first have great news. Last Wednesday city council elections were held in the Netherlands. And for the first time my party, the Freedom Party, took part in these local elections. We participated in two cities. In Almere, one of the largest Dutch cities. And in The Hague, the third largest city; home of the government, the parliament and the queen. And, we did great! In one fell swoop my party became the largest party in Almere and the second largest party in The Hague. Great news for the Freedom Party and even better news for the people of these two beautiful cities. Continue Reading →

Is Geert Wilders the new William of Orange?

By Ed West. From the Telegraph

The Kingdom of England is in a parlous state. Ruled by a rotten Scottish tyranny, the nation groans under the weight of oppressive, unconstitutional laws, the ruling elite is in the pay of its absolutist masters on the continent, and many Englishmen suspect their government is promoting an oppressive and reactionary religion against the will of the people.

The nation’s only hope is a charismatic young Dutchman fighting almost single-handedly against the creation of a united Europe under the rule of an unelected tyrant in Holland’s southern neighbour.

The Dutchman, coming to England’s aid, warns its people:

“It is both certain and evident to all men, that the public peace and happiness of any state or kingdom cannot be preserved, where the Laws, Liberties, and Customs, established by the lawful authority in it, are openly transgressed and annulled; more especially where the alteration of Religion is endeavoured, and that a religion, which is contrary to law, is endeavoured to Continue Reading →

Tories’ secret plan to kill off party dinosaurs (i.e., conservatives)

Posted on by

From The Daily Mail

A confidential blueprint for David Cameron’s controversial bid to impose more women, gays and ethnic candidates on reluctant party activists has come to light.

The explosive six-page document proposes the use of subterfuge to end the white, male and middle-class image of the Conservative Party.

It emerged on the eve of another grassroots revolt over the modernisation of the party.

Action Plan for Candidate Selection in Safe Seats is a fascinating insight into how modernisers have planned a gradual Tory party takeover.

Their efforts finally paid off last month when Mr Cameron imposed shortlists of ‘suitable’ Parliamentary candidates.

The move has incensed the grassroots – who have always had a say over which candidates appeared on shortlists – and triggered a wave of protests and resignations.

And the language in the document will further exacerbate tensions between the Tory high command and its army of hard working volunteers.

The document suggests using ‘stealth’ and stresses the importance of keeping ‘quiet’ over the plans to ensure more women, ethnic and gay candidates. ‘Like a conjuror, we’ll get more applause if the audience cannot see exactly how the trick is performed,’ the document says. Continue Reading →

Conservatives Support Hard line Islam

Posted on by

From The Brussels Journal

Top Conservative party members have donated thousands of pounds to an organization that has hosted speakers known for their hard line Islamic views.

In August, and Lord Sheikh, chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum (CMF), and Mohammed Amin, the CMF’s vice chairman, attended the launch of Iqra TV, founded by Al-Khair. According to the CMF website, after he had had made a presentation, Lord Sheikh gave a check for 5,000 pounds (approximately 8,000 US dollars) to Al-Khair for the establishment a library. Al-Khair runs Islamic schools (in Britain and Kashmir), a prison outreach program, and hosts speaking and cultural events, including some that are “interfaith.”

However, a number of Al-Khair’s events point 180 degrees in the opposite direction. A section on Al-Khair’s own website listing past events shows that Dr Zakir Naik was a speaker for a 2006 event called “Educating the educators.” Naik is an Indian preacher and, by his own description, an Islamic “fundamentalist,” who believes that religions other than Islam cannot be tolerated, and that churches, synagogues, and other non-Muslim places of worship should be banned.

Lower down the page there’s a flier for Harun Yahya, a prolific Turkish author and conspiracy theorist who has written extensively about his belief in a “Zionist-Masonic” conspiracy to take over the world. This might sound like a joke, but it’s a repetitive and rousing theme in extremist Islamist literature. It is cited in the charter of the terrorist organization Hamas, has been serialized for Egyptian TV, and is regularly cited by the Middle East’s press to explain world events. It is also enthusiastically discussed on radical Islamist websites in the West. Continue Reading →

BNP changes all-white constitution and ejects Times reporter from meeting

Posted on by

From The Times

The British National Party voted today to change its constitution to allow black and Asian people to become members.

The decision came at an extraordinary general meeting in Essex that was called after a court ordered the far-right party to comply with race relations laws. A court will decide in March whether the changes bring the BNP within the legislation.

However, the party’s democratic credentials were called into question when a reporter from The Times was bundled out of a press conference shortly before Nick Griffin, the BNP leader, was due to speak. A party official objected to a profile which had appeared in the newspaper at the weekend.

The Times had been invited by Simon Darby, the party’s press officer, with other media, to hear Mr Griffin describe the constitutional changes. Continue Reading →

Lebanon opens fire on IAF jets

Lebanon says its army has opened fire on four Israeli warplanes that flew into Lebanese airspace.

The Lebanese army said in a statement that its units used anti-aircraft fire Sunday to force the Israeli warplanes out of Lebanese airspace.

The army said the planes were in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley, in central Lebanon.

Israeli warplanes frequently fly over Lebanese airspace in what Israel says are reconnaissance missions. The overflights and violations of UN Security Council resolutions have been a constant source of tension between the two countries.

Sunday’s events come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following some of the sharpest exchanges in years between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

A Lib Dem and a blood libel

Posted on by

From The Guardian

By Uri Dromi

Just when we thought we heard everything, there comes Lady Tonge, the Liberal Democrat peer, calling for Israel to set up an inquiry to disprove allegations that its medical teams in Haiti “harvested” organs of earthquake victims for use in transplants.

It is easy to dismiss this as sheer nonsense. Indeed, my friend Yisrael Medad, with whom I usually disagree, had it right this time, when in his blog he wondered whether someone had made off with the baroness’s brain. One thing for sure: nobody stole Tonge’s tongue, and whether or not it is connected to any brain at all, it keeps erupting anti-Israeli abuses, which had already caused her party embarrassment in the past.

Attacking Israel’s policies is one thing; insinuating that the army of the Jewish state is stealing organs or – as the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet published last year, that the IDF was killing Arabs for their organs – is to repeat what antisemites were saying about the Jews in the darkest periods of history. A blood libel, in short. Continue Reading →

Muslims Confront Islamism, Get Targeted by Islamists

Posted on by

From Islamist Watch

French imam Hassen Chalghoumi recently learned firsthand that Islamists despise non-Islamist Muslims as much as they do anyone else. Chalghoumi attracted their ire by coming out strongly in favor of a ban on face-covering veils, a prohibition that is moving closer to reality. Echoing President Nicolas Sarkozy, he described the niqab as a “prison for women, a tool of sexist domination and Islamist indoctrination” that “has no place in France.” Moreover, he explained:

Having French nationality means wanting to take part in society, at school, at work. But with a bit of cloth over their faces, what can these women share with us? If they want to wear the veil, they can go to a country where it’s the tradition, like Saudi Arabia.

Islamist reaction to his comments was swift and fierce, with a gang of nearly a hundred men storming his Paris mosque during a meeting of an organization focused on interfaith relations:

“They started to cry ‘Allah akbar’ and ‘God is great,'” recounted Chalghoumi. “Then they insulted me, my mosque, the Jewish community, and the [French] republic. They left after an hour and a half.” Continue Reading →

Mehdi Hasan, the New Statesman‘s political editor, recently attacked UKIP‘s Lord Pearson for his comments about radical Islam in Britain.

Yet this magazine has advanced the idea of a “kosher conspiracy,” in which British Jews are supposed to effectively control the government. And Hasan has stated that non-Muslims live “like animals” (see video below):

Shah’s son urges help for Iran’s protesters

Posted on by

From The Jerusalem Post

Reza Pahlavi, whose father, the shah of Iran, was toppled from power 31 years ago, said the international community must step up its support for Iran’s opposition movement and stop focusing on the country’s nuclear program.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Pahlavi said nations such as the US should not “even bother” with a new round of sanctions regarding Iran’s nuclear program, if punitive measures merely maintain the status quo.

Instead, he suggested the kind of encouragement that ended South Africa’s apartheid system and caused the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Pahlavi, 50, said that should include dialogue with the Iran’s opposition, which has managed to keep up periodic street protests in the country since the disputed June presidential elections despite a fierce crackdown.

He also said the opposition needs outside technological support to beat government eavesdropping and Internet crackdowns in Iran, and “stay connected” with the outside world. Continue Reading →

Norway, Islam, and New Protests

From The Brussels Journal

By Filip van Laenen

Last week-end, almost a thousand taxi drivers in the Norwegian capital Oslo and neighboring municipality Bærum went on what could be called a religious strike. Both on Friday evening and Monday morning, Muslim taxi drivers refused to drive in protest against Wednesday’s front page of the Norwegian tabloid paper Dagbladet. That day, the tabloid ran an article about some of the “dangerous” pages the website of the Norwegian security service PST links to, and illustrated that with a screen shot of a cartoon showing the prophet Muhammad as a pig trampling the Qur’an.

Let’s not be naive: the tabloid Dagbladet knew very well that it would create a new controversy when it put the cartoon on its front page. By its very nature, this type of newspaper depends on shocking front pages. Just like its biggest competitor in the market, VG, you can’t get Dagbladet delivered to your door every morning, but have to go out and buy it at a shop. Therefore, its front page usually carries a big fat title involving celebrities, sex and violence – if possible, all three of them together – but occasionally, politics or religion will do as well. Apparently, on 3 February, Dagbladet’s best shot at getting as many copies as possible sold was to put the cartoon, which already caused a stir in the nineties of the previous century, on is front page.

Whether or not the 3 February edition of Dagbladet sold particularly well remains unclear, but it sure got plenty of attention. Attention is seldom… Read More.
