All is not lost – Europe can resist Islamification says Pipes

Pipes5“Some analysts of Islam in Western Europe argue that the continent cannot escape its Eurabian fate; that the trend lines of the past half-century will continue until Muslims become a majority population and Islamic law (the Shari’a) reigns.

“I disagree, arguing that there is another route the continent might take, one of resistance to Islamification and a reassertion of traditional ways. Indigenous Europeans – who make up 95 percent of the population – can insist on their historic customs and mores. Were they to do so, nothing would be in their way and no one could stop them.

“Indeed, Europeans are visibly showing signs of impatience with creeping Shari’a. The legislation in France that prohibits hijabs from public school classrooms signals the reluctance to accept Islamic ways, as are related efforts to ban burkas, mosques and minarets. Throughout Western Europe, anti-immigrant parties are generally increasing in popularity.”

Daniel Pipes in the Jerusalem Post, 2 April 2008

Pipes names Dutch far-right racist Geert Wilders as one of the “staunch individuals” who “may represent the vanguard of a Christian/liberal reassertion of European values” and who could “provide a crucial boost for those intent on maintaining the continent’s historic identity”.

Blears blames Muslims for social divide

Blears blames minoritiesCommunity Secretary Hazel Blears stood accused of “scapegoating” immigrants and Muslim groups on Thursday for what she called the development of “social apartheid” in Britain.

In a speech to the Fabian Society in Westminster, Ms Blears claimed that community cohesion could only be maintained by preventing one single faith or ethnic group from dominating a neighbourhood to the extent that others feel “alienated, insecure or unsafe.”

However, the minister said that she saw “nothing wrong” with cultural enclaves of “particular groups” such as “Chinatowns and Little Italys.”

Her comments follow Church of England Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali’s recent attack on the Muslim communities for supposedly creating “no-go zones” for whites in parts of Britain.

Furious left campaigners and politicians dismissed Ms Blears’s seeming concern as “beyond satire” when “no-one has done more” than new Labour to create poor and ethnic minority ghettos through its big-business policies and anti-terror laws.

‘Jihad comes to Wall Street’

“If you’ve seen Geert Wilders’s film Fitna, you may not have noticed a single headline amongst all the bombings, beheadings, and earnest expressions of Islam’s eventual world domination: Halal-fund: investments for Muslims. But the investment vehicles referenced are an essential part of radical Islam’s efforts to insinuate itself into Western societies in order to destroy them from within. And Wall Street, barely out of the woods from its disastrous run-in with sub-prime mortgages – and having lost one of its historic investment houses, Bear Stearns, in the process – is now chasing the very kind of ‘sharia finance’ against which Wilders’s movie warns, a business line that may eventually wind up being even more calamitous than the subprime-mortgage fiasco….

“Sharia is a reactionary-to-the-core medieval Islamic doctrine that claims control over every aspect of every Muslim’s life. It imposes such ‘ethical’ mandates on Muslims as the obligation to discriminate against women and non-Muslims; to kill homosexuals, adulterers, and apostates; to establish and maintain Muslim rule around the world; and to carry out violent offensive jihad against infidels. Notably, for those Muslims who cannot engage in physical jihad using force of arms, sharia requires that they support jihad financially. This is what sharia finance is all about.”

Alex Alexiev at National Review Online, 3 April 2008

Update:   Mad Melanie Phillips entirely agrees: “Of all the manifestations of the Islamisation of the west sharia finance is perhaps the most deadly, because it effectively sells the west to Islam.”

‘As if it couldn’t get any better… ‘ BNP deputy leader backs Ruoff

bnp-islam-poster“Incredible headlines in the tabloids today concerning Brown’s arrogance over immigration and his insistence on pushing ahead with replacing the indigenous population with Labour-voting imports…. As if it couldn’t get any better a member of the Church of England General Synod, Alison Ruoff, breaks ranks and demands that no more mosques are built in this country.

“Speaking on a Christian radio station she pulled no punches when stating: ‘You build a mosque and then what happens? You have Muslim people moving into that area, all the shops will then become Islamic, all the housing will then become Islamic and as the Bishop of Rochester has so wisely pointed out, that will be a no-go area for anyone else. They will bring in Islamic law. We cannot allow that to happen.’

“Inayat Bunglawala, the assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, wasted no time in tagging the issue for the Party adding, ‘These are unfortunately very bigoted and, frankly, xenophobic remarks. These kinds of comments you would expect to come from someone from the BNP not the Church.’ Yes indeed so Inayat and thank you so very much for reminding everybody just in case they hadn’t already got the message.”

Back Boris urges BNP

BNP Islam Referendum DayToday the BNP urged its supporters to cast a second preference vote for Boris Johnson in the London mayoral election. The fascists explained that “a second choice vote for him gives you the chance to vote BNP as your first preference and still vote to get Livingstone out of office”. The replacement of Livingstone by Johnson would, the BNP opined, “be an improvement for the majority of Londoners”.

You can see why the fascists might favour Boris Johnson. When it comes to Islamophobia – and the BNP are urging voters to make Thursday May 1st a referendum on Islam – they find much common ground with the Tory mayoral candidate.

No more mosques, says senior Synod member

Alison RuoffA senior lay member of the Church of England’s “Parliament” has called for a ban on the building of more mosques in Britain. Alison Ruoff, a long-standing member of the General Synod, said that new mosques should not be built in this country while Islamic states continued to persecute Christians.

Mrs Ruoff, speaking in an interview with Premier Radio, the Christian radio station, said: “No more mosques in the UK. We are constantly building new mosques, which are paid for by the money that comes from oil states. We have only in this country, as far as we know, 3.5 to four million Muslims. There are enough mosques for Muslims in this country, they don’t need any more.

“We don’t need to have sharia law which would come with more mosques imposed upon our nation, if we don’t watch out, that would happen. If we want to become an Islamic state, this is the way to go.

“You build a mosque and then what happens? You have Muslim people moving into that area, all the shops will then become Islamic, all the housing will then become Islamic and as the Bishop of Rochester has so wisely pointed out, that will be a no go area for anyone else. They will bring in Islamic law. We cannot allow that to happen.” Mrs Ruoff added: “We are still a Christian country, we need to hold on to that. If we don’t watch out, we will become an Islamic state. It’s that serious.”

Inayat Bunglawala, the assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: “These are unfortunately very bigoted and, frankly, xenophobic remarks.” He added: “These kinds of comments you would expect to come from someone from the BNP not the Church.”

Daily Telegraph, 2 April 2008


Indeed, the BNP itself applauds Ruoff’s “starlingly [sic] refreshing statement”.

See also the online discussion on the Daily Express website. Sample comments:

“Most people I believe agree with Alison Ruoff and dont want any Mosques in this country let alone more. With this Bunglawala and his Muslim Council the BNP is looking more and more attractive to vote for as each day goes by.”

“WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE? WHY ARE WE BUILDING MOSQUE’S WHEN WE ARE UNDER THREAT FROM ISLAM? WHY ISN’T THIS GOVERNMENT DEFENDING THE CHRISTIAN BASIS OF THIS COUNTRY? WHY, WHY, WHY?”

“I’ve seen Geert Wilmer’s film Fitna and every word and image of it is true. There is no room for Islam in Britain or Europe or indeed on the planet. The preaching and dissemination of it is SEDITION. Pull down the Mosques and deport all of those who espouse Islam…”

“Wouldn’t it be a better idea to demolish the existing mosques never mind letting them build more of their temples of backwardness and intolerance?”

“We do not want the Islamification of Britain. Stop immigration now! Stop the building of mosques. Never accept Sharia law in this country. This government, and previous ones, have overlooked the systematic erosion of our cultural lives…. The seeds of Islam are planted and have spread over our land like poison ivy.”

Scum-watch: Harassing the evil Islamic terrorist Abdul Muneem Patel

“As Sun journalists obviously don’t have anything better to do, they’ve taken to stalking one of the men released in January a whole 18 days early from his sentence for having in his possession a manual on explosives. ‘FURY erupted last night after The Sun tracked down an Islamic terrorist released early because of jail overcrowding. Neighbours were not told evil Abdul Muneem Patel, 18, had plotted a jet terror attack.‘ Err, could that possibly be because he hadn’t?”

Mad Mel finds another film she likes

What the West Needs to Know“A propos the Wilders film Fitna, another longer film is now on line which does a much better job at informing people about Islam and exposing the absurd (early) claims by Tony Blair and George W Bush that Islamic terrorism apparently had nothing to do with Islam. Called What the West Needs to Know, it explains in a scholarly, authoritative but nevertheless accessible and balanced manner how the basic tenets of Islam have given rise to the global jihad, their implications and consequences and how they are the principal motor behind major conflicts around the world.

“… what the west simply doesn’t understand is that the Arab war against Israel is driven not by nationalism but by the religious drive to reconquer that territory for Islam, as a part of the medieval Islamic empire that is to rise once again from the ashes of the free world. The war against Israel is not a boundary dispute. It’s a religious war of conquest.”
