Wilders finds Islamofascism in The Hague
Wilders’ tweet in response to Trouw article: ‘Islamofascism is advancing in the Netherlands’

Claims by newspaper Trouw that part of The Hague’s Schilderswijk district is so dominated by orthodox Muslims they are dictating what people should wear and how they should behave, have been denied by both police and local politicians.

Under the headline “Hague district is orthodox Muslim territory”, Trouw said “short skirts and dresses are not accepted on the street”. The paper said the area, with a population of some 5,000, is known by locals as “The Sharia Triangle”. “Very slowly, the rules in the area are beginning to change,” the article said. “The norms of the majority are beginning to take over.”

Golden Dawn threatens mass mobilisation against Athens mosque

Golden Dawn anti-Mosque posterGreek neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn has threatened to mobilize 100,000 people against plans to build a mosque in Athens, state television reported on Monday.

Golden Dawn threatens to ‘slaughter’ Muslims

Golden Dawn threat to MuslimsThe Muslim Association of Greece (MAG) said that it has received a threatening note giving all Muslims, Greeks and foreigners, one month’s time to evacuate the country or be “slaughtered like chickens,” according to a statement released by the association on May 18.

The note, published on the association’s webpage, is written in Greek, English and Arabic and the Golden Dawn emblem is printed on the paper, although there is no claim of responsibility from the neo-Nazi group that has 18 seats in Parliament, wants all immigrants out of Greece and has been accused of assaults on them, which the party has denied.

The note is printed over a symbol of Golden Dawn which has an openly anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-gay, anti-Semitic, anti-foreigner, ultra-religious jingoistic platform and says it wants a Greece populated only by Greeks with 100 percent Greek blood from both parents.
