The Dutch do not have many journalists who speak out against Islam. Joost Niemoller is one. May 5th is Dutch Liberation Day. There is a big ceremony at the Dam in Amsterdam during which the King and all the various notables lay a wreath at the national monument. It’s kind of similar to the Cenotaph in London. This year, the 4/5 May Committee, who organize it all, invited Ahmed Aboutaleb – the Muslim mayor of Rotterdam to give the main speech. It was a dreadful piece of left-wing multicultural tripe, but this open letter published on Niemoller’s website says it far better than I ever could. I could not resist sharing it, so I have done a quick translation into English.

————————————

 Dear Mr Ahmed Aboutaleb

I will introduce myself. My name is Jurrien Boiten and I am the grandson of J. H. Boiten, a resistance fighter from Assen who didn’t come home after World War II. Murdered by the Nazis in the Dora concentration camp. So I am one of the relatives of the survivors you briefly mentioned in your speech during the commemoration this year.

Please understand that May 4 and 5 are also special days for me. Then all the emotions resurface. And this year that was even more so the case. When I heard on January 26 of this year that you would give the speech at the Dam I was angry. How could it be that you were asked? But then, Ms. Gerdi Verbeet is the Chairman of the 4 and 5 May Committee and a prominent member of the Labour Party. You are too, and then the relationship becomes clear. I felt that something had been stolen from me. Anyway, you had not spoken yet, so I kept my mouth shut and waited. Your speech was going to make it clear. And it did indeed.

Unfortunately my misgivings came true.

Why was I so upset when your name was called? That has everything to do with your faith and everything you stand for. You are above all a practicing Muslim. Additionally, you are a representative of the multicultural society desired and acclaimed by the left. But above all because of your Muslim background, letting you give a speech during the commemoration for all the Jews murdered in our country during the war is trying to unite the irreconcilable. It’s like a convention of vegetarians where the president of the Association of Butchers as a speaker gives an impassioned speech against eating meat.

You want to live by the rules of the Koran. The Koran is, as you know, a book that oozes hatred of Jews and is full of prejudice about unbelievers. Even homosexuality is strictly forbidden in the Koran. The Koran in that sense is as bad as Mein Kampf. The Koran inspires the faithful to fight against any “infidel”. The barbarians of IS are the ultimate example of this. I am such an “infidel.” Your holy book calls for my destruction. And to this day you have never distanced yourself from that book. Indeed, it inspires you in your daily life.

Several studies show that the growing anti-Semitism in our country is for the most part accounted for by Muslims. How is it that Jewish institutions in our country now need continuous surveillance? The threat comes from Muslims. Why has security been increased in our country? The threat comes again from Muslims.

There is in our country now a consensus about the fact that the multicultural society has failed. But only a few people from the left still refuse to see that. And they unfortunately also sit on the 4th and 5th May Committee.

You are, as I recalled, a representative of the multicultural society. That was also the reason for the committee to invite you. Over the backs of those who died and their survivors they abused the commemoration of May 4, 2016 as propaganda to prove the “success” of a now failed project. Your presence in the eyes of the committee is evidence of the “success” of the multicultural society. Your presence would encourage immigrants and natives to commemorate together. But were these foreigners there then? The NOS [the Dutch equivalent of the BBC/CBC] had to do its utmost to show a picture of such an individual.

For example, were there Muslims at the Dam who felt connected with the history of our country? No, they were conspicuous by their absence. Yet thanks to the sacrifices of those who fell, they too may live in freedom in our country.

The multicultural society is a political ideal. And Memorial Day on May 4 was never intended for making political statements. Memorial Day was never intended to put the spotlight political “successes”. Precisely because in our country there are so many different political views, the commemoration should and can unite people for a short time. A time for forgetting different views. Despite all the disagreements combined – also as survivors – a moment to reflect on the memory of those who lost their lives for the freedom of our country.

Unfortunately, the leftist political clique cannot control themselves and has now snatched the commemoration of the Dutch People in the service of its political objectives.

And then your speech. I hear you politicising over the backs of 686 dead Jewish children from Rotterdam. Because politicians quite often twist the truth if that suits them better. And you are such a politician!

Those 686 children that you mention were not “different” as you say. They were Jewish! They were not “different” because they were Jewish, they were Jewish and were therefore Untermenschen in the eyes of the Nazis. And Untermenschen can be destroyed, because you as a German belonged to the Uber Menschen. And those sub-humans included the Roma, Sinti, the gay and the mentally handicapped.

Stamping them as sub-human was not prejudice, it was a dogma of the Nazis. Prejudices you can talk about with each other. A dogma is fixed irrevocably.

But you deliberately use the word “different”. Because with that word you can create the bridge to today. We often encounter the word “different” in the debate on multiculturalism today. It is also used by those who warn of the increasing Islamization of our society. And because you use the word “otherwise” you simplify the evil ideology of the Nazis. And you therefore equate those who recognize and warn of the danger of Islam in our country with the Nazi killers of, amongst others, my grandfather!

Because, you say, a country (the Netherlands) can fall prey to gut feelings and misguided emotions that disrupt our society. You say, and I quote: “Gut feelings can pave the way to hatred, violence and ultimately even to murder. Even now.”

You are well aware that those who are critical of the growing influence of Islam in the media and in politics are set aside as people who have gut feelings. As people who sow hatred. At people who want to stir up violence. They might even want to incite murder.

Your message is: the Nazis murdered people because they were “different”. And it could happen again by those who warn against the increasing Islamization of our country and point to the being “different” of Muslims. So Muslims are in your eyes the new Jews, the new gays, the new Sinti and the new mentally disabled.

By doing this as a Muslim you abuse the commemoration of May 4, 2016. You equate those who are critical of the increasing Islamization of our country with the Nazis.

While you know quite well that millions of Muslims around the world, including in our country greatly admired Hitler because of the murder of six million Jews.

You also know that in many black schools in our country, history teachers are struggling to deal with the Holocaust in the classroom. You know what is written about Jews in the Koran. You recall 686 Jewish children who were murdered. But do not you say that Muslim armies tried to murder the survivors in four wars in Israel?

And you also forget to mention that on April 25 2004 you felt that the phrase “Cancer Jew” in the current slang of young Moroccans was fine. How credible are you actually when you commemorate Jewish victims at the Dam?

The opportunity given to you to speak at the Dam is another step in the growing Islamization of our country. Even our National Memorial Day is sacrificed. And that is why your call to listen to stories from survivors, eyewitnesses and survivors therefore no longer makes sense. Because these stories are about the struggle against the totalitarian Nazi ideology and its consequences. Because despite the warnings of those stories, the Dutch people permits a similarly totalitarian ideology disguised as the religion of Islam to gain more space in the public domain. An ideology that calls into question more and more freedoms and habits and wants to restrict them. And whose fighters are discounted as the new Nazis by you.

The burden that is thus laid on the shoulders of our children will become even heavier, as they will eventually have to literally fight to preserve and recover freedom of thought and action. The contours of a clash between ethnic groups in our country are becoming more visible.
You end with, “That’s why we remember.” Indeed WE commemorate. We, the white, native Dutch. Except for a few, immigrants were not present at the Dam to commemorate. And even though many have held a Dutch passport for generations, their absence proved once again that they do not identify with the history of our country and therefore not with the country itself. They consume our country and nothing more.

And that’s why I now wonder whether the ultimate sacrifice made by my grandfather and all those other, often nameless, resistance fighters for this country and its inhabitants was worth it. The legacy he and his comrades left us has been squandered and sold off by generations of politicians over the last thirty-five years. With, as sad highlight, the fact that you as a practicing Muslim may speak at our National Remembrance Day, at which upright Dutch people are dismissed as the new Nazis.

With best regards

JHB

1, BREAKING NEWS – Two are killed and four more injured after man crashes his car into a Macy’s and goes on stabbing rampage in Massachusetts mall restaurant before being shot dead by an off-duty police officer

Two people are dead after a suspect went on a stabbing rampage in Taunton, Massachusetts.

Arthur DaRosa, 28, of Taunton, stabbed two people at a home on Tuesday evening before driving to a mall and stabbing four more people inside, authorities said.

DaRosa went inside a home on Myrick Street and stabbed two women just after 7pm, District Attorney Thomas Quinn said.

One of them, who was 80 years old, died of her injuries. The other was taken to the hospital.

A man (pictured on a gurney), who is yet to be identified, stabbed two people at a home in Taunton, Massachusetts on Tuesday evening before driving to a mall and stabbing two more people inside
A man (pictured on a gurney), who is yet to be identified, [was identified now] stabbed two people at a home in Taunton, Massachusetts on Tuesday evening before driving to a mall and stabbing two more people inside
More here. I wish they would use his convert name though. But CVE and all you know)
2. Imam in Belgorod sentenced to 3 years for illegal possession of weapons

Belgorod, May 10, Interfax – The Oktyabrsk District Court of Belgorod has found the imam of the local mosque, Faizulla Ismailov, guilty of illegal possession of weapons and explosives on Tuesday, an Interfax correspondent reported from the court.

The court has sentenced the defendant to three years imprisonment, in a general regime penal colony, under the Article of ‘Illegal possession of weapons and explosives.’

The court heard the defendant’s last plea on Friday. Any other details, including whether Ismailov had admitted his guilt, were not reported, due to the closed nature of the hearing.

(Funny you hardly ever hear that about priests or rabbis or Buddhist monks. Maybe its time we did. Would make an entertaining movie and multi-faith meetings would be a lot more fair)

3. More video from the IS car bomb killing 50 and wounding 100

Additional bombings bring the number of people killed to 88.

4. Iranian immigrant, 32, who hurled 90 eggs at the Home Office and shouted ‘f****** criminals’ after he was refused asylum will be allowed to STAY in Britain

An illegal immigrant who hurled 90 eggs at the Home Office headquarters because they had refused to grant him asylum in UK will be allowed to stay here, a court heard.

Feridon Rostami screamed ‘f***ing criminals’ as he launched the barrage at the government office in Westminster in February this year.

But despite being convicted of causing criminal damage and refusing to apologise for his actions, the 32-year-old is staying in Britain because Iran refuses to have him back.

The Iranian’s actions cost £405.37 to clean up from the side of the building after he was arrested at the scene on 2 February.

A security guard reportedly ran for cover as Rostami carried out the protest with £7.29 worth of eggs bought from an off-licence in Shepherd’s Bush.

(At this point the people of the UK should be grateful to him. normally someone like him would spend about £100,000.00 of British taxpayers money and get the same result after tying up courts and resources for years. He got the same results as all the other hostile illegals get but for under a grand and way faster)

5. Divine intervention? Indian Hindus ask gods to help Trump

 

NEW DELHI (AP) — Donald Trump may find it tough to get Republican leaders behind his campaign, but he’s got some faraway fans trying to get the gods on his side.

Around a dozen members of a right-wing Indian Hindu group lit a ritual fire and chanted mantras Wednesday asking the Hindu gods to help Trump win the U.S. presidential election.

While Trump has dominated the Republican primary race to decide the party’s candidate for the November election, his calls for temporarily banning Muslims from America and cracking down on extremist groups abroad have earned him some fans in India.

“The whole world is screaming against Islamic terrorism, and even India is not safe from it,” said Vishnu Gupta, founder of the Hindu Sena nationalist group. “Only Donald Trump can save humanity.”

(A few prayers asking that Donald is sincere and will actually achieve the effects that his campaign indicates he wants might not be a bad idea either. Even if he uses other methods)

6. Erdogan appears to be spoiling for a new constitution. I suspect it will undo all of Kamil Attaturk’s work in an instant.

7. German who did stabbing spree shouted “Infidel you must die” as well as ‘aly aly ackbar’. The German media is desperate to sell the idea that the problem was a mental illness one. But lets say it was. Why do people with mental illnesses that result in the death of strangers to them all seem to be Muslim these days? Why do they should “Aly aly ackbar” and not, “This is for Napoleon!” or, “Ich bin ein wenig Teekanne”?

This would be the right time to mention that statistically, violent antisocial behaviour amongst those diagnosed with a mental illness is the same as for the general population. If there are any advocacy groups for the mentally ill, I hope they sue. Same goes for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese groups when the media calls Muslim rape gangs, “Asian”.

8. Russian bid to blacklist Syrian rebel groups blocked at UN

(What an interesting turn of geopolitical events)

UNITED NATIONS, UNITED STATES: Britain, France, the United States and Ukraine Tuesday blocked a Russian request to add two Syrian rebel groups to a U.N. terror blacklist and sideline them from the Syrian peace process, diplomats said.

Russia had requested that Jaish al-Islam (Army of Islam) and Ahrar al-Sham be added to the sanctions list for their ties to Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Adding names to the U.N. sanctions list requires a consensus decision from the 15-member council and after objections were raised by the four countries, Russia’s request was rejected.

“Russia publicly attempting to designate groups that are parties to the cessation of hostilities could have damaging consequences to the cessation just as we are trying to de-escalate the situation on the ground,” said a spokesperson for the U.S. mission to the United Nations.

(For a clear perspective on this, read Stephen Coughlin’s analysis of the famous article, “What ISIS Really Wants“. It all falls into place after that)

Thank you M., Richard, Wrath of Khan, Gates of Vienna, Agri Nok, Kathy and many more. 

More to come later today as well.

UPDATE on Turkey Burgers:

Geert Wilders: Let’s Dump Turkey

Posted on by

Microsoft OutlookScreenSnapz003

The greatest threat to the West is Islam.

Look at every country where Islam is dominant and you will see a total lack of freedom and democracy. Islam and freedom are absolutely incompatible. And yet, we are importing it into our western societies, thereby endangering our own freedoms. It is time to stop this foolishness.

Take Turkey, for example. Turkey’s President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has never made a secret of his aim to strengthen the powers of Islam. Contrary to what some want us to believe, Turkey does not prove that Islam and democracy are compatible.

For Erdogan, democracy is merely a tool. He once compared it to a tram: “You ride it until you arrive at your destination, then you step off.”

Today, Mr Erdogan is stepping off.

The repercussions are felt not only in Turkey, but also in European countries, such as Germany and the Netherlands, where large Turkish immigrant communities act as the fifth column of intolerance.

Indeed, the Turkish President not only oppresses free speech at home. He has embarked on a crusade to oppress it in Europe as well. And the large groups of Turkish immigrants in Western European countries are his henchmen.

Last month, the Turkish President demanded criminal prosecution of German comedian Jan Böhmermann. The latter had ridiculed Erdogan with a critical poem on German television.

German Turks began to threaten Böhmermann to such degree that he had to request police protection and go into hiding. At the same time, the German authorities started criminal proceedings against the comedian, based on a 19th century German penal law which forbids insulting the representatives of foreign states.

The criminal proceedings were started with the explicit consent of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who, according to Böhmermann, has “served me for tea to a despot.”

Meanwhile, Erdogan’s appetite is far from over. This week, he demanded a German court to stop Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of the Springer publishing company, from defending the comedian.

Fear of violent Turkish immigrants also forced a hamburger restaurant in Cologne to shut down. Its owner, Jörg Tiemann, had put a burger with goat cheese on the menu, calling it “the Erdogan burger.” Erdogan supporters immediately responded with threats against owner and staff, forcing the restaurant to close its doors.

Then, there is the case of Ebru Umar, a Dutch journalist of Turkish descent. Four weeks ago, she wrote a column criticizing the Turkish Consulate in Rotterdam. Following the Böhmermann incident, the Consulate had called on Dutch Turks to report incidents of “insults” against Erdogan in The Netherlands.

One week later, while on holiday in the Turkish seaside resort Kusadasi, Umar was arrested and only released on condition that she not leave Turkey. On Facebook and Twitter, hundreds of Dutch Turks openly rejoiced in her arrest.

Her home in Amsterdam was broken into and vandalized.When walking the streets of Kusadasi, Umar was threatened on several occasions by Dutch Turks who had gone looking for her. “We will know where to find you when you return to the Netherlands,” they said. “You will get what you deserve.”

Last Tuesday, after three weeks, the Erdogan regime finally allowed Umar to return to the Netherlands.

Many of those threatening people in the West are third or even fourth generation immigrants to our countries. This proves that – barring a few exceptions – the integration and assimilation of Islamic immigrants into our Western society has failed.

Many of the Islamic newcomers are simply incapable of adopting our values. Indeed, they are a danger to these values.

We must protect these values. And one of the first things to do is to sever our links with regimes promoting Islam. These regimes cannot be our friends; they are dangerous.

It is an outrage that Turkey is still a member of NATO. The sooner we get rid of this Trojan Horse within our Western alliance, the better. We should dump Turkey.

Instead of doing this, however, our current Western leaders are welcoming Turkey.

Next June, the European Union wants to allow visa free travel for Turks. For decades, the EU elites have been promoting Turkish EU membership, eagerly backed by President Barack Obama and by Hillary Clinton, who has even said that she is “strongly in favor of it.”

There is little doubt that if Hillary Rodham Clinton becomes the next President of the United States, she will be a cheerleader for Turkey.

Geert Wilders is a member of the Dutch Parliament and leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV), which is currently by far the biggest party in the Dutch polls. He is the author of “Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me” (Regnery)

1, UK navy officer joins ISIS: Defence experts warn of terror attacks on ships as highly skilled sailor turns from smoking playboy into jihadi after watching videos of Assad’s atrocities

A navy officer who trained at one of Britain’s most prestigious maritime colleges has fled to Syria to join the Islamic State terror group.

Defence experts warned last night that 28-year-old Ali Alosaimi’s high-level skills and exhaustive knowledge of the nation’s shipping fleet represented a terrifying security threat. 

Having already targeted passenger jets, there has long been concern that militants will try to bring terror to the seas by attacking ships and ferries.

‘This suddenly raises the spectre of IS damaging shipping,’ said former Royal Navy chief Admiral Lord West. ‘Someone with his knowledge opens up a whole new area where terrorism can take place.’

2. BREAKING: Cairo gunmen brutally murder eight policemen in drive-by shooting

The killers are believed to have driven past in a pickup truck, before mowing down the officers in a hail of gunfire.

The police officers had been carrying out routine security patrols when their microbus was targeted in the violent attack.

While the attack has not yet been claimed by a group, unverified reports from local media have indicated the killers waved an Islamic State flag before carrying out the deadly assault.

3. British buses to get slogans proclaiming Allah as country’s biggest Muslim charity launches campaign to aid Syrian victims

Adverts proclaiming glory to Allah will be branded on hundreds of buses around the country to raise money for victims of the Syrian Civil War and portray Islam in a positive light.

Islamic Relief, Britain’s biggest Muslim charity, came up with the advertisements with the line ‘Subhan Allah’ – meaning ‘Glory be to God’.

The government-backed organisation wants to ‘break down barriers’ and portray Islam in a positive light.

Muslims will be asked to donate to the cause to ‘gather the rewards of Ramadan’.

5. Burning cars in Germany

6. Shocking story of extremism in class: I taught TWO jihadis at Cardiff school where Rigby’s killer is called a hero 

It is almost beyond comprehension – how could British-born teenagers educated in British schools in British towns and cities be drawn to international jihad and Islamic State? 

Yet during my three years working at Fitzalan High School in Cardiff – a city where three young men were eventually jailed for helping IS – I watched as children were radicalised under my nose. 

And astonishingly, senior staff did nothing in response…

Nothing could have prepared me for my first day at Fitzalan High School in Cardiff. On the face of it, the school is a typical, sprawling comprehensive. There is no external clue to the reality – that this is a place where girls can feel bullied into wearing the hijab, where many boys wear traditional robes, and where teenagers dare not listen to pop music.

A place, that is, where radical, intolerant Islam is the dominant culture, where 70 per cent of students are Muslim, and the most strident and aggressive set the tone.

Of course, it would come as a shock for any teacher to see an ex-student appear in an Islamic State propaganda video, as former student Reyaad Khan did. He would later be killed by an RAF drone strike. Or to see another former pupil sent to prison in this country for helping fellow fundamentalists join IS in Syria, which is what happened to Kaleem Brekke.

7. France: Total Rejection of Islam Across the Political Spectrum

(If only this were true. My calendar for next week would look a lot more fun)

France: Total Rejection of Islam Across the Political Spectrum

Rabat – A poll measuring perceptions of Islam conducted by the Institut français d’opinion publique (IFOP) for Le Figaro found that people have a growing sense of unease about Islam’s role in France.

French newspaper Le Figaro reported that the poll confirmed a “total rejection” of Islam in France across the political spectrum, after Paris saw two deadly terrorist attacks in 2015.

The report, which was conducted from April 4 to 18, 2016, found that the sentiments that were once perceived as the preserve of the “extreme right” are now felt across the political spectrum.

The poll also found that “47 percent of people consider the presence of Muslim communities a threat to France’s identity, up five points from 2010,” which is an alarming number compared to the only 19 percent of the French people who believe “Muslims culturally enrich the country.”

IFOP, which measured attitudes toward aspects of Islam in French society since 1989, revealed that “33 percent of French people responded that they were ‘in favor’ of building mosques in 1989, while the figure today is just 13 percent. That year, 31 percent were opposed to wearing the veil in general, a number that in 2016 has risen to 63 percent.”

8. Saudi Arabia allocated 30 mln to restoration in Sicily

(Yes very much like if the Iranians spent 30$M to build Nazi community centers and Hitler Youth schools and called them “Restoration”, of Germany’s brief flirtation with genocidal totalitarianism)

Gresti castle in Sicily Gresti castle in Sicily

CATANIA – The mayor of the Sicilian town of Aidone Vincenzo Lacchiana and the secretary general of the Saudi supreme commission for tourism and antiquities, Ahmed Saeed Badrais, have signed a protocol of understanding with the government of Saudi Arabia for the allocation of 30 million euros for the restoration of Islamic monuments in the region…

(Perhaps shortly after that money is spent, some kind patriot can spend whatever the cost of 200 Lbs. of C4 is, and have a restoration of what life was like in Italy before and after Islamic control)

 

Thank you TL., M., Richard, Buck, Wrath of Khan, Shabnam and many more.

Apologies for anyone I lost track of. More to come shortly no doubt.

Some people feel the above clip has less significance than I feel it does. It may indeed just be a case of bureaucrats justifying their own existence.

On the other hand, one can use the power of that predictable  constant in concert with the other one. The idea that people like being empowered to make change instantly, so like the lone single homosexual who complained about the word “faggot” in a Dire Straights song and had it pulled from Canadian and American radio instantly till a new version was inserted, these kinds of events signal a totalitarian tactic to me.

You will not see offensive references pulled from licenses or songs that are offensive to how Marxists view greater society unless, possibly like this, its a demonstration of power. Materials like the British bus adverts, which offend the hell out of me, will never be pulled for that reason.

 

Austria: Teacher called Mohammed a child molester: prosecutor investigates!

Posted on by

Original translation by Egri Nok with much thanks!

From Vol.At

Bregenz — A middle school teacher allegedly referred to Mohammed as child molester in front of her pupils. The prosecution was informed; the provincial education department now awaits the investigation.

A Bregenzer teacher is said to have described the founder of Islam as a child molester in front of her students. “Yes, there is this allegation against a teacher,” the provincial educational counsellor Bernadette Mennel confirms the corresponding complaint. The education department had immediately forwarded the case to the prosecutor.

They check whether the allegations are true. Due to the ongoing investigation, no further information on the case is currently available through the state school board. If the allegations were true, the teacher would have to face consequences. “Such statements are unacceptable,” stressed Mennel to VOL.AT. However, they would await the outcome of the prosecution, before making decisions.

The accusation that Muhammad was a child molester is not new. It refers to Mohammed’s third wife Aisha bint Abu Bakr.

She was betrothed to Mohammed at the age of six years, and according to tradition at nine years the marriage was consummated.

In the Middle Ages, neither in the East nor in Europe the marriage of underage women for political purposes was unusual. Nowadays, child marriage is illegal in almost all countries of the world, but is still practiced, especially among poorer families in the Arab world, and India. In 2009, because of comparable statements, FPÖ Member of Parliament Susanne Winter was convicted of incitement of the people (Volksverhetzung).

Translator’s notes:

1. I am not aware that child marriages were “not unusual” in medieval Europe, as the article claims.
2. Vorarlberg Online or VOL.AT is a tiny Austrian regional news portal, probably more coverage to follow in the coming days.
3. There are rumours there could be more behind this case than meets the eye, so best to wait for more information.

Eeyore’s notes:

What difference does it make that child marriages may or may not have been normal in the middle ages. So was the black death and I don’t see anyone raising fleas today.

Ede riots by Muslims in the Netherlands

Police, council officials draft in Moroccan consul over Ede riots

Ede, a small town between Arnhem and Utrecht, has been the scene of rioting since last weekend when a group of around 50 youngsters went on the rampage following the closure of a community cafe. The shopping centre where the café is located is being demolished. It was a popular hangout with local Dutch Morocan youngsters. Council officials, police and the consul met on Friday afternoon to discuss the riots, the work of a group of several dozen youngsters aged 12 to 20, ANP said. On Wednesday the mayor introduced a six month ban on public gatherings in an effort to restore order to the area.

A trial for terrorism: “Islamophobia” not a reason for hiding evidence from the public

Posted on by

An original translation by Ava Lon

From La Presse Quebec

The Court of Justice in Quebec reiterated on Thursday the fundamental right to a public hearing, and rejected the request of two defendants accused of terrorism, who requested that part of the evidence collected against them be kept secret from the public, under the pretext that it would risk compromising their right to a fair trial, while contributing to “Islamophobia” and “the climate of panic” in Quebec.

The request was presented by Sabrine Djaermane and El-Mahdi Jamali, two former students of the Maisonneuve College, who were arrested a year ago and charged with attempting to join a terrorist organization overseas, and planning a terrorist attack in Montreal.

While waiting for the trial, both were trying to prevent publication of elements of evidence collected by the investigators from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in an application for the search warrant.

Their request was based on testimony by an expert witness, Valérie Amiraux, sociologist and a chair-holder in the Canada Research Chair Program in the field of study of religious pluralism at the University of Montreal. With the support of her colleagues, Valérie Amiraux presented a 22-page report concerning the effect that the disclosure of the evidence could have on Quebecers.

In her report the professor emphasizes that the Muslim public image has changed considerably since 9/11, “ in particular as a result of media coverage of news”. She adds that there is “a widespread antipathy vis-à-vis Muslims in Canada” and that “Islamophobia has become commonplace in Canada” in the wake of the debate on reasonable accommodations and the Quebec Charter of Values. The context is akin to what some sociologists call a “political hysteria”.

In that context, the disclosure of certain elements of evidence is “problematic”, she concludes, because “those elements […] are particularly likely to help trace links among Islamophobia, the climate of panic and the feelings of insecurity”.

Common Front of Media

The lawyers from La Presse, Québecor and Radio Canada stood together in opposition to this request in the name of the free speech and established principles; they want justice in Canada to be public.

The justice Lori Renée Weitzman ruled in their favor. The judge summed the case up as a conflict between two fundamental rights protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: the right of defendants to a fair trial and the right of freedom of expression.

The judge acknowledges that the expert witness has expertise in sociology and deals with real issues.

“No one needs a sociology expert to say that in 2016 in Quebec, the Muslim population is confronted with prejudice and stereotypes.” — from the judgement

But in a court of law, the existence of such prejudices doesn’t justify restricting public access to court proceedings. “Without understating the extent of the expertise of Mrs. Amiraux, the flaw in her estimation is the extrapolation of the data she masters in sociology in order to reach a conclusion on the Canadian criminal law system, without appropriate knowledge in this field,” continues the justice.

She reminds everyone that according to the Supreme Court, “the proper administration of justice includes the right under Article 11 (d) of the Charter, which guarantees a public trial and the right for the media to have the access to the trial and to be able to report what takes place there.”

Trials Behind Closed Doors?

Other opinions presented by the expert raised the judge’s eyebrows. “Professor Amiraux doesn’t know the importance the Charter gives to the open courts, and she is even believes, wrongly, that a criminal trial could be held behind closes door,” the judge notes as well.

“This erroneous assessment of our fundamental principles of Canadian criminal law allows her to reach a conclusion in favor of a publication ban that would apply, according to her, in all cases involving the subjects that could cause anxiety, or concerning an identifiable minority”, continues the judgement.

The testimony of the sociologist was therefore deemed inadmissible, and the request for an order banning publication rejected. “The consequences of such an order would be important, since it would limit public access to information in connection with legal proceedings, which violates the constitutional right to freedom of expression,” says the judge.

 

The defendants have ten days to appeal the decision.
