A great example of how not to deal with the issue of Islamic subversion

Posted on by

In the video of the tweet embedded below, there is a fine woman who well represents her case that there is no need in islam for muslims to do their various rituals and ablutions during the working day for which she gives cultural and scriptural reasons.

On many occasions I have argued that this must not be done. At least not in this manner.

Robert Spencer, Stephen Coughlin, Bill Warner and a small handful of other scholars are the rare exceptions as they fully get the implications of these kinds of debates but for the rest of us, the best we can hope for is winning a battle on the way to losing the war. And winning the battle is unlikely.

The fact is, the only variables that can be allowed to be considered when discussing work place behaviour, are the terms the employer set when the job was given to someone.

If foot washing and preying can be done invisibly to the business and its clients during break times then who’s to argue? But debating special cases using Islamic scripture or reasoning, such as it is, will always mean a victory for Islam, not just over the business or circumstance in question, but over all of society, as it will mean that Islamic reasoning and law, will increasingly be the deciding factor for how we make decisions.

This is not a small thing.

I made this same point when a woman was flying to the Middle East and a muslim passenger demanded the aircraft be turned to face the East so he could prey towards Mecca. Our friend loudly explained that Islamic law says when traveling, prayers can be deferred till one reaches one’s destination. She won the argument in a way, and the aircraft was not turned, more because the pilot simply refused to endanger the entire aircraft and change his flight plan so a tard can mumble incantations and arselift in Arabic.

The pilot had the right idea.

It doesn’t matter what sharia says. It doesn’t matter what Koran says is compulsory. It only matters what our law says, and what our values are. People who wish to participate in our society must also make reasonable accommodation to keep their own culture private and after hours and live up to the agreements they make when they apply for, and accept employment, or board an aircraft which doesn’t turn East at prayer time, or doesn’t stop non-muslims from eating during ramadan.

 

Machteld Zee: “Islamization is Planned”

Posted on by

An original translation by Dr. VanHelsing

With a forward by Gates of Vienna

From this Dutch language website:

 

A young Dutch political scientist is causing consternation among the bien-pensants of the multicultural Left in the Netherlands with her analyses of Islamization. Her impeccable liberal background and credentials make it more difficult for the establishment to discredit her.

Dr. Van Helsing has translated an interview with this iconoclastic young woman. He includes this introductory note:

Machteld Zee Ph.D. is a Dutch scholar who investigated sharia courts in the UK for her Ph.D. thesis. This interview was published in the Algemeen Dagblad, a nationwide Dutch newspaper, on October 4, 2016.

The interview is relevant for several reasons:

  • Very few non-Muslims ever have gained access to the world of sharia courts in the UK. She has.
  • The University of Leiden is fairly highbrow in the Netherlands, because it is not only one of the oldest universities. but also because the heir to the Dutch throne traditionally studies at this university (for example, our former Queens Juliana and Beatrix did, just like our current head of state King Willem-Alexander). The reputation of this university gives authority to her voice.
  • She has become a target of attacks by leftist apologists for radical Islam since she published her thesis. She could do with some positive publicity. Similarly, Islam-sceptics could benefit from her work.

The translated interview:

“Islamization is Planned”

Investigating Sharia

The Islamization of Europe follows a strategy, according to Machteld Zee in her book Holy Identities, which was published today. ‘Once you have knowledge of it, you understand what is going on.’

‘I discovered a comprehensive system of law that contradicts our secular laws.’

Investigating sharia courts

Machteld Zee (32), a Dutch political scientist from the University of Leiden, studied sharia courts in the UK and wrote her Ph.D. thesis on it in 2015.

She was one of the few outsiders who gained access to the sessions of these Islamic courts. 95% of the cases before these courts are divorce cases. Her investigations resulted in a pamphlet, Holy Identities.

‘If you compare the Netherlands in the 1980s with today,’ says the political scientist and law school graduate Machteld Zee, ‘you will see an increased influence of Islam everywhere. Saudi Arabia and other countries flooded the world with thousands of imams, Islamic text books, mosques and tons of money.’

Machteld Zee needed barely 150 pages to describe the background of Islamic fundamentalism, which is gaining ground in Western countries. Her book Holy Identities: On the Road to a Sharia State is an analysis of the problems of the multicultural society.

You say that conservative Muslims want to convince their fellow Muslims to embrace sharia, the religious law of Islam. These fundamentalists are being helped by ‘useful non-believers’, non-Islamic intellectuals, politicians and opinion leaders who don’t want to offend Muslims.

‘Yes, leading multiculturalists actually believe that Muslims should be shielded from criticism because it would inflict psychological damage on them. Although many Muslims consider this an idiotic point of view, others use it to call those who criticize Islam ‘Islamophobes’ and ‘racists’.

You described yourself as left-leaning liberal when you started your investigation on sharia courts in the UK. Now you warn against a lack of knowledge of and a lack of resistance against the advancing radical Islam.

‘I discovered a comprehensive system of law — far more systematic then I had expected — that contradicts our secular laws. Many Muslim women are locked into a religious marriage because their community thinks a divorce according secular law is insufficient. In these communities — Muslim communities — sharia law trumps secular law when it comes to marriage. Women have to ask a sharia judge or an imam to dissolve their marriage, for example when the husband physically abuses her. Even Dutch Muslim women travel to the UK to appear before sharia courts. It is a parallel society. I object to it because these practices go against women’s rights.’

You have analyzed the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is a political and religious movement that aims for world domination, and is supported by lots of money from fundamentalist circles. The sharia courts are part of this project, you wrote.

‘That is why it is so important that we know what is going on. Authors that I studied for my investigation were generally benevolent towards sharia courts. It turned out, however, that none of them ever attended a session of such a court. They don’t know what is going on in these courts. Now they ask me to tell all about it. Women are advised by these courts to accept polygamy and to not file criminal complaints in case of domestic violence. Physically abusive fathers are given custody of their children. I have the impression that the tide of the public debate is turning now that these facts are becoming public. I hardly hear anyone pleading in favour of sharia courts anymore.’

In your book you call out the politically correct elites, who tries to cover up abuse within Islam and tries to downplay the threat of Islamic fundamentalism.

‘In the first place, I think I am reporting facts. Where I notice that influential Western intellectuals tend to discourage critics of Islam and help fundamentalists to isolate and ‘Islamize’ Muslim communities, that is a matter of fact. My book is a compact discourse that aims to bring its readers up to date on fundamentalist Islam.’

How do you see the future?

‘We will have to act more defensively and resist Islamization. We should not yield to demands that images of scantily dressed women in public have to be covered up, for example. Just say no. Citizens should not leave everything to the government. They can defend our beliefs and values themselves, too. Why does a college in The Hague decides to abandon the Christmas tree pre-emptively? Why is alcohol banned in places where Muslims show up? There is no need for that. We are doing it to ourselves.’

Do you fear criticism? Undoubtedly, you will be labeled as a right-winger.

‘I don’t experience that when I speak in public. Even a ‘leftist’ audience responds positively to my story. Right-wing? Come on, equal rights for women and resistance against representatives of a religion who make threats of violence — let’s call that common sense.’

Pepper spray almost sold out: demand for pepper sprays in Germany is increasing rapidly

An original translation by Oz-Rita

From Focus.De

In Germany, one can get pepper spray only after many weeks of waiting time. The orders have risen by 600 percent in just two months. According to manufacturers, frightened German buyers have emptied the shelves. The alleged reason: the refugee crisis.

The Germans stock up massively in private. According to FOCUS Information there are now, nationwide, considerable difficulties regarding the delivery of irritant gas spray cans, the so-called pepper spray.

“There is a lot of fear around,” explains Kai Prase, managing director of DEF-TEC Defense Technology GmbH in Frankfurt, one of the major reppellant producers. “We have been practically sold out for about six to seven weeks”.

Compared to last year, orders have increased by more than 600 percent in the past two months. Only partial deliveries are possible Prase told FOCUS. The waiting period has already reached about five weeks. As a reason for this, producers and distributors give the huge influx of refugees in recent weeks which apparently unsettles many people.

(At this point it wouldn’t surprise me if the South African Government posted this video under ‘adventure travel’ on their tourism site)

2. U.S. Supreme Court rules for Muslim woman denied job at clothing store

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of a Muslim woman who filed a lawsuit after she was denied a job at an Abercrombie & Fitch Co clothing store in Oklahoma because she wore a head scarf for religious reasons.

Supreme Court Doc here

(I wonder if the Supreme Court will also force customers to decide who they have to buy from and who they may wish to avoid. Will Jewish customers have to buy from people in Nazi Uniforms? If not, in what substantive way is muslim religious clothing different in its statement of intentions and preferences from a Nazi uniform?)

3. Australia: There have been clashes recently between self named ‘anti-racists’ and presumably some form of Ozzie nationalists. Will get details. Below is video of some of the clashes.

The prosecution of a Swedish national accused of terrorist activities in Syria has collapsed at the Old Bailey after it became clear Britain’s security and intelligence agencies would have been deeply embarrassed had a trial gone ahead, the Guardian can reveal.

7. South African families among ISIL’s newest recruits

Johannesburg, South Africa – At least 23 South African citizens have travelled to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group (ISIL), raising concerns of recruitment activity among the country’s sizable Muslim community, an Al Jazeera investigation has revealed.

Various sources have confirmed with Al Jazeera that at least 23 people, including families with children, have left South Africa to join ISIL over the past year. At least eight families are believed to be among the recruits.

Some of the affected families have reacted with shock and confusion to the defection of their relatives.

An official in the Turkish foreign ministry, who asked to remain anonymous because they are not authorised to speak to the media, confirmed that around a dozen South Africans were detained and subsequently deported to South Africa for attempting to reach ISIL territory last month.

8. Undercover DHS Tests Find Security Failures at US Airports

An internal investigation of the Transportation Security Administration revealed security failures at dozens of the nation’s busiest airports, where undercover investigators were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints in 95 percent of trials, ABC News has learned.

9. Qatar sues French politician over ‘terror’ claims

(This could be very interesting if the French take it seriously. The evidence that Qatar does indeed sponsor terrorist groups and actions to a very high degree is pretty strong)

10. Turkey’s Erdogan is quite upset about the story broken a few days ago in Turkish and as far as we know, was broken first here in English about his secret weapons program to the the Islamic State. Here is a link to the article in English and there is a video of him in Turkish where I think he vows to get the journalist at the Turkish daily. We are working on that now.

Thank you Antikythera, Wrath of Khan, M., AM., and all. The temperature is rising now everywhere.

It is still very important that we educate ourselves and our peers on Islam

Posted on by

While the hour grows late it is true, we are not entirely past the point where educating ourselves and all we know about the basics of Islam in a dispassionate and well sourced way is of value. And while the amount of sources of information on Islam and its doctrine grows, some truly stand up high over others in terms of their scholarship and ease of understanding. One of my favorites is Geert Wilders’ book, Marked for Death.

The Rt. Hon. Mr. Wilders has given me permission to upload a segment of the audio version of the book, for which I chose segment 35 which deals with hijra in particular and the issue of moderate Islam. Please feel free to get this segment to whoever you feel needs to hear it, as well as encourage people to get the book, either paper or audio. This makes fantastic work out audio by the way. For those looking to raise their pulse for half an hour or so.

Please consider Geert’s book as a gift idea for family or friends for whom you may have opportunity to make a present for casual reasons. If they actually get around to reading or listening to it, they will thank you. If not right away, after a while. Trust me on this.

They will.

The MTS [Montreal Transit Society] allocates a space for muslim prayers

Posted on by

Original Translation by Sassy

From Le Devoir

MONTREAL: Pursuant to the request of ONE MUSLIM EMPLOYEE,  the Montreal Transit Society [MTS] approved allocation of a prayer space in its Youville maintenance workshop Department.

Arnaud Stopa | Le Devoir | 2015-02-06

Since Wednesday, rumor has been spreading among the employees working in the subway repairs’ department, as confirmed by the STM Public Relations to Le Devoir newspaper.

Isabelle A. Tremblay – Corporate Advisor to the STM Public Affairs – stated in an email that regardless if the request was made by a religious Muslim, ” NO, this space is not dedicated to a specific religion”.

However, according to Luc St-Hilaire, President of the Montreal Transit Union, the public institution’s statement is contradictory.  “[The STM] says the space is open to everyone but should the request be made by a Québécois Catholic, it would first require an initial review.”

A request that would be granted?  “It’s a good question, but I was told that since no such request was made, they have no answer.”

In the same email, Mme Tremblay confirmed the STM position.  “The request would be studied according to the same criteria as those applied for requests already received.”

“For many years now, there have been individual requests for accommodations”, explains the Union representative, “and they’ve always been accepted.  But now, it is a new situation: there will be a dedicated space.”

The new space is located under a stairwell, 5′ wide by 25′ long, according to plans of the premises obtained by Le Devoir.  The space will accommodate ‘six people according to various times of the day’ and already has a basin for ritual cleansing.  Apparently “no additional costs were incurred by the STM except for the replacement of six neon tubes […] and the removal of a door lock”.

Heidi speaks at Hanover rally against Islamization of Europe and Germany

Posted on by

Thank you again Oz-Rita for your tireless efforts to bring us some good news.

For those who remember, the woman speaking in this video is the same one who stood up and spoke in the German cathedral when it was offered up in multicultural sacrifice for Islamic prayer services.

Please pay attention to what she says. Beyond the usual pep rally material, she makes an important observation about the tactics of the authorities and how they are trying to destroy the resistance to the destruction of classical European people and cultures, as they successfully did to the EDL. Her advice is sage. One example is, ‘Don’t drink till you get home’.

I believe she is the woman who spoke immediately before the man in the post earlier below in Hanover.

When your own government will not act on behalf of its own people, when those who live off the work of patriots in order to subvert the state for islam get more protection and rights from the law than loyal British citizens..

Then I guess you are guaranteed to get this. Just for a start.
