How to save Europe from Islam

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“Historian Bat Ye’or fears that it may already be too late to save Europe from Islam, and that the continent will be transformed into Eurabia. Should this come to pass, Eurabia will either slowly decline into just another overpopulated Islamic failure, or it will be used as a staging ground for Islamic aggression against the rest of the infidel world.”

But there is still hope, Wolfgang Bruno argues:

“The only way we can avoid this is by separation, by ending and reversing Muslim immigration. Muslim immigration is equivalent to playing Russian roulette with your own children. The worst case scenario is that the current trends continue unabated, triggering civil wars in several nations as the Muslim population reaches critical mass for an armed Jihad. A Balkanization of the continent would ensue. It may already be too late for the worst hit areas of Europe, but still not for the continent as whole.”

As I’ve pointed out before, an essay on Islam and women by Maryam Namazie of the Worker Communist Party of Iran is also available on this site. See here.

CAIR’s ‘Islamophobia and anti-Americanism’ conference

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“For groups like CAIR, especially after September 11, to name-call and label Americans as racists and bigots because they are simply exercising their right to free speech in criticizing Islam and Muslims is nothing short of asinine.

“Americans constantly hear that we ‘just don’t understand Islam’. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but there’s no need for us to understand Islam. It’s not our responsibility to understand any culture but our own.

“It’s very simple: obey American laws, respect the dress codes, uniforms, rules and regulations of the companies that employ you or the schools in which you’re enrolled, and respect the wishes of your American hosts. Then you won’t have a problem.”

Another sensitive, thoughtful contribution to the discussion of Islam from the folks at Jihad Watch.

Muslim school to become state school?

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch is outraged to find that an independent Muslim school in Nottingham may be accepted into the state sector.

This would make fully four – yes, that’s four – state-funded Muslim primary schools in the whole of Britain, compared with over six thousand state-funded Christian primary schools.

And how does Spencer interpret this? He thinks it’s an example of the “Islamization of Europe”.

‘Muslim Brotherhood – of terrorists’ (according to MEMRI)

Posted on by Bob Pitt

MEMRI executive director Steven Stalinsky expresses indignation at reports that the US government has opened channels to the Muslim Brotherhood. He objects that the “pro-jihad terrorist ideology of the Brotherhood” makes it “difficult to understand how anyone in the US would consider a dialogue with the group”.

Not so difficult, I’d have thought. In Egypt, under any fair system of election, the Muslim Brotherhood would almost certainly form the largest parliamentary party. Its offshoot Hamas has just polled well in the Palestinian Authority local elections, defeating Fatah in the larger towns. The US State Department has evidently woken up to the fact that it’s a bit counterproductive to call for democracy in the Middle East while at the same time denouncing as jihadists, terrorists and enemies of western civilisation the very forces that democracy will most likely bring to power.

Islamophobia may indeed be a racist tool of western imperialism but, in the form promoted by Steven Stalinsky, Daniel Pipes, Jihad Watch et al, it in fact runs counter to the interests of US foreign policy as understood by its more pragmatic exponents.

Daily Star: ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ encourages Muslim terrorists

Posted on by Eddie Truman

The UK’s Daily Star has a go at using the film Kingdom of Heaven to keep the pot boiling over Muslim terrorist scare mongering.

Apparently Ridley Scott’s epic is promoting “Osama bin Laden’s version of history” – the verdict of Cambridge professor Jonathan Riley-Smith.

Worst of all, Ridley Scott is apparently depicting Muslims as sophisticated and civilised while showing the crusaders as barbarians.

In a separate box out, Daily Star hack Jerry Lawton turns his hand to history in a piece entitled “1,000 years of conflict”.

Back of the class for Jerry though – he says that the Crusades started in 1076 when Muslims captured Jerusalem. Wrong Jerry, that was 400 years earlier in 638. Pope Urban’s call for the retaking of Jerusalem wasn’t until 1095.

Thanks to the always excellent Arab Media Watch for drawing this to our attention.

The Muslim threat to Western Europe

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“I would encourage all responsible-minded people to get up to speed on what’s going on in the Netherlands, and in Western Europe generally. The country I cherished a few years ago as the most liberal in the world has an increasingly large – and increasingly alienated – population of extreme reactionaries who despise, and seek to destroy, its liberalism.”

Andrew Sullivan’s chum Bruce Bawer on the Muslim threat to Europe.

Turkey: The road to Sharia?

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“As Turkey drifts toward Islamization, some serious questions arise: Is Turkey even our ally? Is Turkish accession to the EU in America’s interests? Does the Justice and Development Party (AKP), which leads Turkey’s government, threaten Turkish secularism? What policy should the Bush administration pursue toward Turkey?”

Right-wingers discuss the terrible threat posed by the AKP – one of the most moderate Islamist parties in existence.

Daniel Pipes opines: “… while radical Islam in many ways parallels fascism and communism (the brutal drive to power, the totalitarian goals, the intent to defeat the West), it differs in one key way – radical Islam rides a wave of international popular support the other movements never had. This creates a dilemma for the Bush administration, whose urgent push for democracy turns out to enable Islamists to reach power. Worse yet, Washington is beginning to whitewash the Islamists, and even the terrorist organizations among them. The government of Recep Tayyip Erdoðan presents the most advanced and difficult form of this dilemma, however. Though many wish to avert their eyes from his Islamist background, foreground, and future, that ideology defines his prime ministry. Is the U.S. government going to sit by, applauding, as he creates the Islamic Republic of Turkey?”
