Interview with Gregorious Nekshot

For those of you who do not know, Gregorious (a nom de plume) was arrested by no less than 10 policemen in Holland where they ransacked his apartment and took him to jail for the heinous crime of drawing cartoons lampooning Islam in the Netherlands. A fairly classic case of, ‘you call us intolerant, and we will lay the hammer down on you’. The video of his speech is currently the top post at Gates of Vienna and a full transcript of the speech is available on a Danish blog where the speech was held. You have to scroll down a bit for the English transcript. Well worth seeing and for that matter, reading as well.

Remember, this speech and these events such as we see with Geert Wilders, are tomorrows newspaper for the USA as much as they are last years news for Canada. Do not blow this off. Watch this interview. Gregorious is someone who actually ‘gets it’.

A small sample below…

Ladies and Gentlemen

In the Netherlands, satire is an old tradition. This tradition began seven centuries ago, in the thirteenth century, with the epic poem Reynaerd ‘the Fox’. The poem Reynaerd ‘the Fox’ ridiculed nobility and clergy – the highest civil and religious authorities of that era. The author must have been a wise man, he managed to keep his identity a secret. Monty Python’s movie Life of Brian pokes fun at Christianity. The movie stirred up anger and controversy in 1979. Nevertheless, the movie could be watched almost everywhere. The makers, Terry Jones, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle and Michael Palin received neither death sentences nor did the Public Prosecutor lift them from their beds and put them behind bars.

These two fairly random examples illustrate that in Western Europe, religion – in the cases mentioned Christianity – has been ridiculed for ages. First this was done anonymously or under pseudonym, later openly. In Western culture, rationalism, science, humanism and democracy, in a lengthy and painful process, created the separation between Church and State. Freedom of Speech became a constitutional right in many countries. Thus, ridiculing Christianity, without fear of losing one’s life, has been possible for quite some time.

When large numbers of migrants with a different cultural and religious background came to Western Europe, things fundamentally changed. Poorly educated – and without exception raised under dictatorial regimes – a lot of immigrants with an Islamic background cannot agree to our separation between religion and politics, no matter how self-evident this separation appears to us.

A little fiction to help get some perspective on today’s reality.

There is a story this link leads to, which is a wonderful dialectic. One which reminds me of the wonderful writieng style of Scott Adam’s best known as the creator of Dilbert but less known perhaps for his most charming book, ‘god’s Debris‘, one of the most enjoyable reads I have ever had. This story I do not think was written by Adam’s and nor is it charming in other than style. But like brilliant fiction since the invention of the novel, is a good way of using literary devices to help us understand our own reality. This author uses a time traveler from the future to solidify our understanding of the present. Settle back with a drink perhaps and take 15 minutes and enjoy this 2 page short story. This writer, actually gets it. We all need to if we hope to survive the near future in any recognizable way.

Police break up peaceful legal pro Israel protest.

Below is an article from Ynet news. I re post it here because it is such a blatant and unsubtle example of some of the articles and interviews that Ezra Levant has written and given recently. We have in Sweden, a situation where supporters of Israel have been given a legal permit to have a Raleigh (Demonstration simply inst the right word) and when they where attacked with eggs bottles and tear gas, the police made the  pro Israel people leave. Clearly there is a failure of due process and use of state force.

I fully understand how the police might in some circumstances ask pro Israel supporters to remove themselves where they might come to harm and the state cannot protect them due to absurdly lopsided numbers. But over and over again we see police treating peaceful pro Israel supporters treated as instigators and threatened with arrest while the pro Hamas protests are flagrantly breaking law after law in plain sight. This example below perhaps is merely beyond my ability to explain it away as anything other than state hostility to its Jewish members.


Pro-Israel rally crashed in Sweden

Protestors gathered to support Israel were pelted with eggs and bottles, then dispersed by police

01.25.09, 17:10 / A pro-Israel rally in Malmo, Sweden was torn apart Sunday by pro-Palestinian residents who arrived on the scene with eggs, bottles, and tear gas grenades which they threw at Israel’s supporters. Police dispersed the entire crowd.

Hundreds of people took part in the rally in support of Israel, which was held at the city’s main square. Elad Meier, a Bnei Akiva and Jewish Agency envoy to Sweden said it was organized by Malmo’s Jewish community and Sweden’s Democratic Party.

Protesters carried signs that said ‘Stop eight years of Qassams’ and ‘Peace for children in Israel and Gaza’. The organizers received a police permit for the demonstration.
However, a number of pro-Palestinian protesters who did not have a permit to demonstrate took to the streets in retaliation to the approved rally. They were not dispersed by police despite lacking a permit.

“At some point, about a half an hour after the protest began, pro-Palestinian protesters began to throw eggs, bottles, and even a tear gas grenade,” Meier recounted.

He added that the lawless protesters disconnected the speakers brought to the square by the Jewish community while its leader was speaking. The act brought the pro-Israel rally to an end, as others could not speak.

At this point, Meier said, police stepped in and asked the unruly protestors to leave. Officers then proceeded to clear the square of all present, including those who had received permission to demonstrate

The Jewish community in Malmo was angered by the police’s conduct, and its president has lodged an official complaint stating that only those who had protested without a permit should have been dispersed.

Yunis Al-Astal : Islam will take over Rome

A few things worth noting about this video. The use of the term ‘Crusader’ or ‘Crusader Capitol’ is new in Islam. HIstoricaly the Muslims never felt the crusades where a noteworthy event. A minor skirmish in which Europeans lost. It has become fashionable only in post modern times for Muslims to croon about the crusades as they saw we had fashioned a rod with them with which we beat ourselves and they are happy to pick it up and continue to beat us with it. I strongly recommend the book, ‘A Concise History of the Crusades’ should anyone be interested in knowing more. It’s very good and clears up a lot of myths about the events and purpose of them. In fact, it is clearly time for another one.

It is also amusing to see this cleric claim that Rome has declared it’s hostility to Islam while in fact Italy has let in over a million Muslims and given them all benefits of a European state and perfect freedom not only to be Muslim but even at this point to harass church goers and practice their faith in the streets and everywhere they can imagine. Its also interesting that while he makes this claim, he himself is actually declaring his hostility to Catholicism.

British ‘protest’ on street and goading of police.

Later today I will put up an amalgam of various protests from London Sweden Montreal and other locations not duplicating the ones already posted here on Vlad. Till then, watch this embedded video of Muslims chanting the usual homily to their war god while trying to bait the police into defending themselves so they have an excuse for outright war while blaming the London constabulary for any casualties they may suffer. You can hear it clearly near the end of the video. Interesting tactic though and it sounds somehow eerily familiar. Where has this tactic been used before I wonder.

Bill for keeping control of anti-Israel mobs hits £1 million From The Daily Mail

Thank you Religion of peace

Taxpayers face a bill of more than £1million after violence erupted during a weekend of demonstrations over the Israeli military action in Gaza.

Extremists were blamed for clashes which broke out near the Israeli embassy in London, as tens of thousands marched in protest over Israel’s offensive.

Police believe a small number of activists tried to hijack the demonstration and turn it into a riot.

Flashpoint: Police hold back protesters marching on the Israeli embassy in Kensington on Saturday

Shop windows were smashed and police pelted with bricks and bottles by masked youths near the embassy in Kensington during the largest demonstration against Israel’s military action. Protesters smashed up a police van before torching an Israeli flag.

Many are thought to have travelled to London with the aim of causing anarchist mayhem at Saturday’s demonstration, organised by the Stop the War Coalition.

It is believed coachloads of Muslim youths with Pakistani origins attended the demonstration after being driven from Yorkshire and the Midlands.

A total of 24 arrests were made, mainly for violent disorder. Three police officers and 20 protesters suffered minor injuries. Scotland Yard sources say the cost of policing Saturday’s demonstration, and other Gaza-related protests in London over the past week, already exceeds £1million.

Metropolitan Police Commander Bob Broadhurst hit out at ‘the irresponsible and criminal actions’ of the rioters.

‘A hard core of demonstrators has undermined the cause of the vast majority of demonstrators, who are law abiding citizens wishing to protest peacefully,’ he said.

Yesterday, there were two more demonstrations in Central London. Thousands of Israeli supporters gathered in Trafalgar Square. A rival pro-Palestinian march, attended by several hundred, started from Marble Arch. Both passed off peacefully.

In an open letter to a Sunday newspaper, 11 prominent British Jews called on Israel to end its military campaign in Gaza.

Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert said yesterday that his country’s deadliest ever military offensive in the Gaza Strip was nearing its goal, but fighting would continue for several more days.

Despite global calls for a ceasefire, Israeli troops backed by tanks pushed to the edge of Gaza City while their warplanes continued their attack. At least 26 Palestinians were killed in clashes. Hamas fired at least ten rockets into Israel, but no one was injured.

Norwegian police detain 27 in clashes over Gaza

Notice what the police said. “This has nothing to do with the situation in Gaza,” Johan Fredriksen, chief of staff of the Oslo police, told the website of the daily Aftenposten.
If this had nothing to do with Israel what did it have to do with?
Eeyore

OSLO, Jan 8 (Reuters) – Oslo police detained at least 27 people on Thursday after pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian demonstrators clashed in one of the worst such outbursts in the Norwegian capital since the 1980s. Shop windows in the city centre were shattered and police repeatedly used teargas to break up groups of activists demonstrating over Israel’s crackdown in the Gaza Strip. The violence started when about 1,000 pro-Palestinian supporters showed up at a rally sponsored by Norway’s largest opposition party in support of Israel. Television pictures showed they burned Israeli flags and threw projectiles at police clad in body armour who separated the two groups. “This has nothing to do with the situation in Gaza,” Johan Fredriksen, chief of staff of the Oslo police, told the website of the daily Aftenposten. “These people came to the protest with knives, bats and Molotov cocktails,” he said, speaking about the pro-Palestinian side. “You have to go back to the early 1980s to find a similar situation in Norway,” Fredriksen said, adding that police were still concerned about security across the city. Clashes also took place near the Israeli embassy. Tabloid VG on its website said that Oslo was the site of a “street fight” with groups of men throwing rocks and bottles at police. One police car was trashed and one officer injured. Before the flare up, some 15,000 people walked through the city centre for a peaceful, torch-lit protest, police said.

London Jews under attack

israel protest.jpg

By News Editor Declan Wilkes

Jews across London are facing a surge of anti-Semitic attacks following the continued violence in Gaza.

On Sunday night, three youths tried to torch Brondesbury Park Synagogue in Willesden – earlier that day Israeli troops entered the Palestinian territory.

On New Year’s Eve, a man was pulled from his car just as he was about to drive off and assaulted by three men whom he described as being of Arab appearance. The victim did not suffer any serious injury.

A gang of youths chanting anti-Semitic slogans, waving flags and intimidating locals tried to enter restaurants and shops in Golders Green.

There are also reports from charities of anti-Semetic graffiti going up across the city, slogans include: “Kill Jews” and “Jews are scumbags.”

Barriers at school

In Manchester, barriers have been erected around the King David High School and access has been restricted to passholders.

Police are liaising closely with Jewish groups and have set up “reassurance patrols” in Jewish areas such as Golders Green, North Finchely, Stanmore, Stanford Hill and St John’s Wood.

The Jewish charity Community Security trust has been advising Britain’s Jews on how to protect themselves and taking repots on anti semitic attacks – it says they have taken 24 statements since the violence erupted.
‘We’ll kill Jews abroad’

These anti-Semitic incidents come in the wake of chilling comments by the Hamas leader that they will kill Jewish children anywhere in the world in revenge for the devastating attacks of the past few weeks. Mahmoud Zahar said:

“They have legitimised the murder of their own children by killing the children of Palestine. They have legitimised the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people.”

Speaking to the Times, Mark Gardner, of CST, warned Jews:

“When the Hamas leadership calls for revenge attacks on Jewish people, we have to be very, very concerned about what that means.”

Board of Deputies defiant

Speaking to The London Daily News, the Board of Deputies of British Jews was in a defiant mood saying Jews and Israelis would not be intimidated by those waging destruction in the Middle East and they were closely monitoring the situation. A spokesman told us:

“Hamas has never made any secret of their extremist and antisemitic agenda. A quick read through the Hamas Charter which outlines the focus of their ideology over the last twenty years, clearly demonstrates that they have never made any distinction between Jew and Israeli and have always considered the death of Jews to be a desirable objective. We are closely monitoring the worrying rise in antisemitic attacks since the start of the conflict in Gaza but our community in the UK, will simply not be intimidated by those who have already wrought so much destruction in the Middle East.”
Violent embassy protests

Meanwhile pro-Palestinian protesters continue to mass outside the Israeli embassy in a demo they vow will last all week despite the plunging temperatures.

A wave of anti-Israeli feeling spread over the city this weekend when large rallies were held across the city culminating in angry exchanges and clashes with the police as they fought to protect the Kensington embassy from attack.

Hundreds of demonstrators ripped up and hurled barriers threw sticks and missiles and attempted to rush the building.

Roads were closed and police in riot gear had to contain the 5,000 strong crowds on Kensington High Street. Protesters burned the Israeli flag and labeled the country a terrorist state.

Police say they are working with Muslims to insure protests pass off peacefully with non confrontational stewarding methods.
Jews under attack across Europe

Jews are on their guard across the continent as young disaffected Muslims bring the conflict in the Middle East to the capitals of Europe.

In Paris on Saturday riot police had to separate the 25,000 pro-Palestinian and 4,000 pro-Israeli demonstrators outside the Israeli embassy.

The National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism in France reported petrol bomb and hate attacks on synagogues, there have been similar reports in Belgium

No go zones in the making. Sweden.

In keeping with Muslim Modus operandi fires are being set and rescue and fire workers are being attacked as part of a strategy we see all over Europe in predominantly Islamic neighborhoods. The idea is to create policy where the state will not act or even go. This has been very successful in the UK and most notably France. Now Sweden is seeing disconnected riots all over and Muslims laying in wait for fire services etc. We shall see if Sweden will submit and wash it’s hands of these areas. Check out the links below for Swedish newspapers on these events.

Fire services under attack in Stockholm

The story in Malmo

Basem Mahmoud, a spokesperson for the svensk-jordanska vänskapsföreningen (‘Swedish-Jordanian Friendship Association), felt that the police had broken an agreement and shown a lack of respect for the mosque by entering the premises wearing shoes and with dogs in tow.

But the Muslims didn’t break any agreement when they started riots burned things created havoc and refused to vacate a building that wasn’t theirs I guess…

Hidden Mosque in Belgium

There are a few noteworthy points to this otherwise rather banal video. I say banal because our sense of what is shocking has grown by leaps and bounds since 911. In truth had we seen this before 911 it would have been the subject of endless editorials on all sides. But I feel there are some significant points in it which are subtle. The speaker constantly refers to the war on Islam and mosques and so on as bieng in opposition to the Islamic war to take over the world. This is to say, the justification for Islamic murder of politicians and acts of terrorism is opposition to murder and acts of terrorism in the name of Islam. This I believe is the central dogma so many in the west do not understand.

It is not poverty or lack of opportunity or racism that causes Islamic aggression. Islam IS aggression against non Muslims and IS racism in every possible interpretation. The references to the Jews as being the problem by the Muslim speaker merely because they are jews for example. In any case given what is going on in Sweden this past week this video from Belgium may add some understanding. Europe is just beginning to see civil wars from it’s immigration policies as well as (much more importantly) it’s policies of multiculturalism. Canada and the US will see the same within the next 10 years and thats more than a safe bet. Chances are within 4 although the percentage of Muslims isn’t there yet, in the US the absolute numbers are high enough to see activity

More accidental fireworks go off in Sweden.

Wow those Europeans and their reckless storage of fireworks. Sweden for several days and nights in a row and a supermarket in Moscow had an accidental fireworks accident that killed nine people today. Despite the fact that Russian authorities stated it was as the topic suggests, they still evacuated the mall and searched for more ‘fireworks’ in case they might go off accidentally.

Some more footage from Malmo Sweden of various dates all pertaining to the overwhelming gratitude of Muslims for being taken in by the good people of Sweden. Or wait was it the Swedish who where taken in?

More Malmo connections to Islamic terrorism. (No its not quite redundant just yet but getting there)

From Islam in Europe
Malmö: al-Aqsa foundation charged with financing terrorism

Malmö: al-Aqsa foundation charged with financing terrorism

The chairman for the Malmö association al-Aqsa Spannmål (Al-Aqsa Grain Foundation) [Khaled al-Yousef] was charged Thursday at the Malmö court for having financed terrorism in Israel.

According to the prosecution, in five years the association sent millions to various committees in Gaza and the West Bank, writes Sydsvenskan. According to the association’s own data, this was humanitarian aid to Palestinians, but according to the deputy chief prosecutor Agneta Hilding Qvarnström, the money did not reach needy children but rather Hamas terrorists.

More than two years of investigative work are behind the prosecution. Among the 75 pieces of evidence are tapped conversations which the prosecutor thinks prove that the chairman knew that both martyrs and Hamas were supported by the association.

In a similar process in Denmark, the al-Aqsa movement was acquitted, but Agneta Hilding Qvarnström set up the process in a different way. Among other things, the Swedish prosecution is building on documentation from Israel to a lesser extent.

Civil wars develop in Germany and Sweden. As usual, only one side shows up.

These two reports one from Gates of Vienna and the other from Islam in Europe caught my notice. Clearly these are not mere acts of hooliganism as all the perpetrators appear to be Muslim despite local media’s best attempts to hide this fact. Although this video is in Swedish it’s pretty easy to see whats going on and the translation is worth the read over on Islam in Europe some of which I will re post here. The gates of Vienna article shows how German police are being attacked in record numbers when trying to cope with crimes by overwhelmingly Muslim perpetrators.

“We’ll continue for as long as it’s necessary. We won’t stop before we get the premises back,” says Ibrahim El-Moughrabi.

The premises he is referring to is a building that was leased out as a mosque and the building owners decided to end the lease and use the building for something else. Muslims plan to riot until they get the use of the building back presumably.

Geert Wilders speaks in Jerusalem.

Thank you Pam Geller, Tundra Tabloids, Freedombloggers.ca and all who help to get the facts out. Geert you rock.

Please pay close attention to what Geert is saying. If it was not for Israel, we would be seeing the same thing problems most likely against Spain and then everywhere else. As if this wasn’t already happening.

Here is the speech by British politician Enoch Powell Rivers of Blood that Wilders refers to.

No-Go Zones in Brussels
by Bart Debie

Brussels riotsIn Brussels, several neighborhoods have turned into no-go zones for police officers. Neighborhoods where they can hardly patrol without being pelted with rocks, without being attacked, or without their police vehicles being wrecked. Unsurprisingly, 80% of the people who live in these neighborhoods are of Islamic origin. More often than not, the aggressors are underage.

Police inspectors claim that in several neighborhoods two patrol cars are needed for every intervention. One to carry out the assignment, and another one to prevent the first patrol car from being wrecked. Many police officers avoid these notorious immigrant neighborhoods. Last week a young immigrant was arrested after he stole a car, ran it into multiple police vehicles and tried to run over a female police officer. He admitted the facts and even acknowledged that he tried to kill the police officer. The Belgian court let him go. The female officer suffered severe injuries and will be out for months.

Arrested 145 times, no sentence whatsoever

A Belgian court of law is not an ally of the police officers. Brussels’ policemen have declared in a Flemish magazine that immigrant criminals are arrested dozens of times for armed robberies, car thefts, drug trafficking, etc. Each time, the Public Prosecutor orders their release within a few hours after the arrest. The criminals laugh at the police. One police officer claims he knows a young offender who has been arrested 145 times, but has not spent one minute in jail.
