			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.pi-news.net/2012/02/holodomor-–-auch-das-war-gelebter-sozialismus/"><img src="http://pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2012/02/holodomor1.jpg?f764e8" alt="" width=440/></a>There is constant talk about the Holocaust committed by the Nazis, and we Germans are ever held to the task to making sure that such a thing never can happen again. If the left-wing Antifa (antifascists) has the slightest idea that a meeting or demonstration by a group that is classified as right of the SPD (German Socialist Party) might occur, a counter-demonstration is organized immediately where it can be &#8220;democratically&#8221; taken care of that this group is neither heard nor seen.</p>
<p><span id="more-5582"></span></p>
<p><em>(By Hans-Dieter Felix Henninger)</em></p>
<p>Whether this happens through &#8220;democratic&#8221; over-shouting with a loudspeaker, or is taken care of with &#8220;democratic&#8221; threats, just so long as the event doesn&#8217;t come to fruition. If none of that works, then a few left-democratic rocks go flying, mostly with toleration by the police and sometimes even supported indirectly by them.</p>
<p>Be it far from me to relativize the Holocaust, and I think it&#8217;s right that any denial thereof should be penalized. I would also be for a law like in France that punishes any denial of a known genocide. For me, Hitler is not the only causer of the Holocaust, rather, it was much more the whole of Nazi ideology with all its followers and apparatchiks. And so, what really should be said is: &#8220;Never again fascism in our country.&#8221;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look now at a different story: How do leftists actually deal with the <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor"><em>Holodomor</em></a>? While it seems to be instilled in leftists today to relativize the GDR (East Germany) crimes and aspire or speak favorably for communism, not even one single Republican (Republikaner party in Germany) would let one hair near the time of the Nazis, and that not just because he wouldn&#8217;t dare. Pro groups like Die Freiheit (Freedom Party) wouldn&#8217;t at all, even though they are classified quite often as &#8220;right-wing extreme&#8221; by the left-wing populist press, which makes up nearly the whole German paper forest.</p>
<p>Describing the <em>Holodomor</em> requires a good piece of self-control beforehand. Back years ago, I promised a good friend from Kiev that I&#8217;d make this shameful act of Soviet Union socialism somehow better known to Germans. Because of the gruesome details, however, I have constantly pushed it aside. With the <em>Holodomor</em>, the issue was that of a measure undertaken by Communist Moscow to bring the allegedly unmanageable Kulaks in the Ukraine to reason by means of hunger.</p>
<p>When looking into the details or speaking with people that either themselves were there or with their children, what happened there is unimaginable. Harvests in the fields were eradicated while the population starved. Foodstuffs from the Ukraine were scattered in other Soviet republics at dumping prices, while Ukrainian children starved and people became cannibals. <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,458006,00.html"><em>Der Spiegel</em></a> titled it in an article back in January 2007: &#8220;When Stalin Turned the People into Cannibals.&#8221; It must be noted in addition that it wasn&#8217;t just Stalin. Stalin didn&#8217;t actually stand in the fields and chase down starving children, Stalin didn&#8217;t eradicate or cart off the harvests. It would be just as senseless to push the whole Holocaust at Hitler&#8217;s feet. Without helpers and Nazis, Hitler would have done just as with the Holocaust little as Stalin would have with the <em>Holodomor</em> without helpers and Communists.</p>
<p>Now, though, let&#8217;s get to our leftists and the Antifa. While every conservative on up to right-wing populists assures us over and over again that he has nothing about the Nazis up his sleeve, and that he rightly invokes every memorial event in memorial of the murdered Jews an other concentration camp inmates, in many countries, the <em>Holodomor</em> is not known about at all.</p>
</p>
<p>On the map here,</p>
<p><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Holodomor_World_recognition.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Holodomor_World_recognition.png/800px-Holodomor_World_recognition.png" alt="" width=440/></a></p>
<p>one can see the countries that have recognized the <em>Holodomor</em> as genocide. Germany is not among them. It would be shameful if we didn&#8217;t know that Mrs. Merkel was in the FDJ (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fdj">Free German Youth, a socialist movement in the GDR</a>), and because of this still has a rather ambivalent attitude about Communism. On one side, Communists are competitors in the allocation of votes, on the other side is actually the good old time when there were those who would render service as informants against critics of the regime and would remain true to the socialist party line in spite of their knowledge about the <em>Holodomor</em>.</p>
<p>But now, once again to the Antifa and their advocates and sympathizers, like Sahra Wagenknecht: Why don&#8217;t we see any raging demonstrations from you when left-wing politicians in the state assemblies, especially in NRW and Bremen, want to turn the wheel back to a time when something like the <em>Holodomor</em> was possible? Or are left-wing fascists not really fascists? Are genocides committed by leftists the good murders, and those of the Nazi the bad ones? Are starved children that were consciously made to starve not worth enough for a left-wing demonstration? But in ten years of time, there has been so great a stir over nine murders that there has been an &#8220;It&#8217;s such a shame&#8221; speech from the Chancellor and the former FDJ functionary; but for the <em>Holodomor</em>, however, which according to estimates exacted the lives of 3.5 to 14.5 million victims that died under the most monstrous conditions, there is no desire at all to recognize it as genocide.</p>
<p>Dear Mr. President, dear Mr. President of the Parliament, dear Mrs. Chancellor, dear Parliament, it is a shame!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.pi-news.net/2012/01/ungeborenes-totgeboxt-morgen-prozessbeginn/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-232905" title="Ungeborenes Kind" src="http://pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2012/01/Ungeborenes_Kind.jpg?f764e8" alt="" width="200" vspace="5" /></a>It was in March last year: A woman was examined by a male gynecologist who was substituting for his female colleague. When her 20-year-old boyfriend found this out, he beat so strongly upon the seven-months pregnant woman that the <a href="http://www.pi-news.net/2011/03/muslim-verprugelt-schwangere-ehefrau-in-rheine/">unborn child died after an emergency delivery</a>. Now, starting tomorrow, the Rheine district court will execute proceedings against the thug for interruption of pregnancy according to <a href="http://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/218.html">§ 218 StGB (German Penal Code)</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-5337"></span></p>
<p>GMX.de <a href="http://www.gmx.net/themen/nachrichten/panorama/128nrgs-baby-durch-boxhieb-getoetet">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The trial against a 21-year-old from Rheine will begin Wednesday. The man allegedly threw several boxing punches at the belly of his highly pregnant girlfriend that resulted in her unborn child dying.</p>
<p>The cause for the brutal outbreak was allegedly a gynecological examination of the pregnant woman by a mail doctor, which the practicing Muslim could not reconcile with his faith.</p>
<p>The unborn baby suffered cranial hemorrhages in the womb from the heavy punches. The child was brought into the world via Caesarean section; however, two days later it succumbed in the hospital to the serious injuries.</p>
<p>The incident in Rheine is not at all unique. For example, in 2007 in Dutch The Hague, a woman and her unborn child fell in danger of their lives because her Muslim husband refused to allow a male assistant to help in the delivery. In order to prevent further escalation, the head doctor at the time had the woman brought to another hospital, in spite of incipient labor pains. It was a risky transport for mother and unborn child – both remained temporarily under threat of life.</p>
<p>Another stock incident the same year was cause for headlines in Belgium. Here as well, a Muslim husband insisted during a delivery that a male anaesthetist called for the procedure be replaced with a woman. An intervention that was necessary for the life of the unborn baby due to a heart defect had to be interrupted for a full two hours. Ultimately it was agreed that the patient be completely covered in cloths – only the area where the anaesthetist applied the anaesthesia remained uncovered.</p>
<p>Above all, the incident in The Hague, that was discussed in the medical journal &#8220;Medisch Contact,&#8221; caused strong debate about the treatment of Muslim women by male doctors. In it, the &#8220;Royal Dutch Medical Association&#8221; (KNMG) took the strict position against the religiously motivated demand of an exclusively male treatment. In the statement of their position, it said: &#8220;It cannot be allowed for patients to prescribe whether we assign a man or a woman to the service. It also cannot be allowed that patients demand that they do not wish to be treated by a male, female, black, homosexual or Chinese doctor. (&#8230;)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The outcome of the trial ought also to be of special interest for right-to-life individuals.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum: In a previous version, we had written that the issue regarding the injured individual had to do with a Muslima. However, this wasn&#8217;t correct. We apologize for the error.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that the German Office for Constitutional Protection (Bundesamt f&#252;r Verfassungschutz) is caving in to the leftwing media barrage against those on the right who are trying to make sure the truth stays before the eyes of the public. Of late, they have begun to monitor such organizations as PI because certain media outlets have accused PI of being racist and of stirring up hate against foreigners. Such is the stuff of an <a href="http://www.stonegateinstitute.org/2752/germany-silence-islam-criticism">article from the Stonegate Institute titled &#8220;Germany Attempts to Silence Criticism of Islam</a>.&#8221; One article mented by the Stonegate Institute that comes from the <a href="http://www.fr-online.de/die-neue-rechte/-politically-incorrect--vulgaer--enthemmt--rassistisch,10834438,10869748.html">Frankfurter Rundschau and titled &#8220;Politically Incorrect: Vulgar, Uninhibited, Racist,&#8221;</a> says that</p>
<p><span id="more-5327"></span></p>
<p>
<blockquote>the Internet portal &#8216;Politically Incorrect&#8217; is part of an international network of Islam haters and Muslim stalkers. This is confirmed by research conducted by the Frankfurter Rundschau.</p></blockquote>
<p>Vulgar? Sometimes. When the truth is shown, it can sometimes be a bit vulgar. One only has to look through the pages both on PI German and PI English to see this is the case. But when reading the articles in which vulgar material might be portrayed, the nasty truth about the parties involved is also portrayed. Also, it would be recommended to take a good look at where and who the vulgarity is coming from. One can only act or react properly to a situation when presented with all of the facts. Sadly, however, the left-wing media like to leave out that which doesn&#8217;t fit into their paradigm of beauty, and thus the whole truth doesn&#8217;t get said, or it becomes seriously twisted so that the words may be true, but in an alter-universe.</p>
<p>Uninhibited? Yes. When informing the public, the truth should be uninhibited. Period. End of story.</p>
<p>The reports and contributions that PI posts are well-documented – most of the time from the left-wing media itself. PI simply finishes the job of making sure the truth is presented – completely. Again, one only has to look at the articles on PI in both languages to see the documentation behind the articles posted here. And if the media wish to accuse PI of fostering hate, then by transitive logic, they are attacking their own reporting which has been used in documenting many of the articles on this site.</p>
<p>Racist? Absolutely not. As PI has shown countless times, it stands against racism and oppression, and for freedom of speech. And yes, PI does stand against systems that present themselves as religions, but in reality and practice function like a rogue state bent on world domination. Islam is a fine example. It is supraracial. There are Indonesians, Malaysians, Chinese, English, Americans, Europeans, Africans, etc. who are Muslims. Thus to question the principles that Islam lays down is simply not racist. It is also not hate speech to show when a system such as Islam abuses its followers. Consider the following practices in Islam: stoning, honor killing, hanging of homosexuals, deceit, fraud. All of these are allowed to further the gospel of Islam according to the Qur&#8217;an, not to mention the issue of forced marriages as well. This is information that can be obtained from well-documented articles on PI.</p>
<p>Again, there are many well-documented articles and downloadable essays that show forth this fact. The MSM simply gets in a dither because PI does not mince words about what is really going on in the world. Thus, they must categorize us in the camp of the extreme Right so that they can accomplish their objective of silencing us and others from standing up against their leftist campaigns.</p>
<p>Perhaps BfV should also monitor the MSM as well. They just might find out who is telling the unadulterated truth, and who is telling the truth to fit their comfort zone. They will also find out that the motto under our banner is just that: &#8220;Against the Mainstream, Pro-American, Pro-Israel, Against the Islamization of Europe,&#8221; and furthermore: &#8220;Against the Islamization of Europe,&#8221; and, for that matter, Islamization anywhere because of the destruction it brings, and &#8220;For Fundamental Laws and Human Rights.&#8221;</p>
<p>Freedom of speech is an elementary right. If PI, along with others who are telling the rest of the story, is suppressed, then we are one more step toward totalitarianism in Europe and in the world.</p>
<p>Check us out. You will find that the information conveyed under the banner is the unadulterated truth. Pretty or not.</p>

<p>In the opinion of the PVV, the queen, by doing this, is legitimizing the oppression and discrimination of women. PVV representatives Geert Wilders, Joram van Klaveren and Andre Elissen are asking questions in the Dutch parliament because of the &#8220;sad performance.&#8221; The PVV would like to find out from Prime Minister Mark Rutte (VVD) and Geerd Leers (CDA), Minister for Immigration and Asylum, what they think about said garment. Moreover, the party wants to know whether this &#8220;sad presentation&#8221; couldn&#8217;t have been stopped. After the visit in Abu Dhabi, the Dutch queen will be travelling on to Oman.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="/2012/01/die-aggressoren-sind-fast-immer-moslems/"><img src="http://pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2012/01/nigeria_feuer.jpg?f764e8" alt="" width=440/></a>Christians in the northern part of the country of Nigeria were given an ultimatum to leave the area. This is actually being attributed by the German to an islamic sect, Boko Haram, somewhat like Nigeria&#8217;s Al Quaeda; however, this shouldn&#8217;t have anything to do with Islam. If it has nothing to do with Islam, why then dno&#8217;t the Muslim countries intervene?</p>
<p>Why does one hear so little from Mazyek and consorts here in our country, who wouldn&#8217;t hesitate for a second to begin screaming if southern Nigeria&#8217;s Muslims would be driven out?</p>
<p><span id="more-5276"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2010/03/modell_nigeria.pdf?f764e8">The pattern</a> playing out right now in Nigeria and apparently being completed with success is spreading throughout the world. Muslims &#8220;purify&#8221; their area completely from non-believers, but settle in the areas of non-believers and begin right away to play the part of the offended if the despised infidels don&#8217;t like it. This can be seen in Turkey where the non-Muslims were cleaned out, which was called population exchange but in actuality was an ejection and mass murder. In Turkey, there are almost only Muslims, but in Greece&#8217;s northwest, the Muslims have remained. There wasn&#8217;t too much of an exchange, or at least in a certain direction. Before this, the Arabian peninsula was purged of infidels, but who are allowed to come when they need somebody to get them out of hot water, which the proud sons of the wilderness are either incapable of or too cowardly to do so themselves. That always applies when the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAqViqWMW4g">Muslim ratio is not met</a>, which we can learn on German streets that it comes to around five to one. In the Philippines a similar thing is occurring. In southern Mindinao, Abu Sayyaf has bitten hard and are driving out or kidnapping Christians for ransom. But other Muslims are spreading themselves unhindered in every region of the Philippines against the will of the population who would rather see these Muslims immediately driven off the islands in the direction of Malaysia. But that is only being said behind a held up hand where the government stands for peace between the religions.</p>
<p>Peace between religions is really only possible when Islam is not involved. Islam has written down in its constitution (Quran) the non-respect toward those of other faiths, and the infidels can only have success if they orient themselves according to the Quran. Unfortunately, that hasn&#8217;t gotten through to our politicians. In this country [Germany], one desires to engage Islam with the neighborly love of Christianity while at the same time demonize Christianity &#8212; even when the party name has a &#8220;C&#8221; in it.</p>
<p>As for Nigeria, it remains to be said: Nobody among us cares what&#8217;s happening there. Nothing will come outside of a few half-hearted suggestions to the Nigerian Al Qaeda, regardless of how many Christians are being brutally murdered. But woe if a hundred or more Muslims would be driven out of the south, then we will see how much we owe to the people of Africa because of neighborly love. The leftists will scream indignantly; Roth will look involved and shock us with another dance – we don&#8217;t deserve anything else – and organize a candle chain that has washed itself. And the party with the &#8220;C&#8221;? Does it really still exist?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.pi-news.org/wp/uploads/2011/11/gulnaz.jpg"><img src="http://www.pi-news.org/wp/uploads/2011/11/gulnaz.jpg" alt="" title="gulnaz" width="440" height="200" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4841" /></a>
<p>There are stories such as this one that are from seldom to never to be found in German newspapers these days. In Afghanistan, after a man brutally raped a woman, <strong>she</strong> was punished for adultery. 19-year-old Gulnaz (photo) along with her 12-year-old daughter has since had to serve a 12-year sentence. Her only possibility of leaving prison was to marry her rapist!</p>
<p><span id="more-4840"></span></p>
<p>Here is an extensive report from <a href="http://de.ibtimes.com/articles/24927/20111112/wie-die-scharia-sexualverbrechen-in-afghanistan-handhabt.htm">ibtimes.com</a> on how Sharia handles sex crimes in Afghanistan with regard to the case mentioned:</p>
<blockquote><p>Amnesty International says it is important to remove the veil from one of the most shameful practices of Afghan justice. According to the Sharia, a sexual crime must be witnessed by no less than four persons, otherwise the victim won&#8217;t even get the first hearing in the courtroom. According to such a practice, a man can, in accordance with Quran 24:13, rape any woman without being prosecuted for it&#8230; For women, this has catastrophic consequences.</p>
<p>Such a regulation has actually not been put into writing, but the Sharia is anchored in Afghanistan as the highest law of the land. According to the constitution, nothing can stand against it. The regulation is enforced in practice. Any reforms, therefore, hit up against protest in the name of the protection of the integrity of islamic law.</p>
<p>A decade after the fall of the Taliban, the Afghan women are still waiting for justice. The EU produced a documentary about Afghan women who sit in prisons because they have commited &#8220;crimes of morality.&#8221; The publication of this apparently well enlightening documentary by Orla Guerin for BBC News, however, was not approved.</p>
<p>The EU based their decision to retract the film with &#8220;real concern for the security of the women portrayed.&#8221; Staff members of human rights organizations are of a contrary opinion. They say the injustice of Afghan justice must ultimately be exposed.</p>
<p>Around half of the female Afghan detainees have been detained because of &#8220;Zina&#8221; (crimes of morality). The explanation by the EU delegation in Kabul stated that the well-being of the women was the crucial point in the decision. No officer from the delegation was willing to be questioned regarding the film.</p>
<p>A few of the &#8220;Zina&#8221; women were sentenced for nothing other than for fleeing from a forced marriage or from violent husbands. Human rights individuals say that hundreds of women sitting behind bars today are victims of domestic violence.</p>
<p>The documentary tells the story of a 19-year-old detainee named Gulnaz. After she was raped, she was punished for adultery. Her little baby, a girl, who was born after the rape is serving time with her.</p>
<p>&#8220;At first, I received two years,&#8221; Gulnaz says, while her baby coughs in her arms. &#8220;When I appealed that, it turned into 12 years. I have done nothing. Why should I be sentenced for so long?&#8221;</p>
<p>Stories such as hers are tragically typical, Heather Barr of Human Rights Watch says. She is on assignment to do investigation among female Afghan prisoners.</p>
<p>&#8220;It would be calming to believe that the stories told in this film were extreme cases,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Unfortunately, nothing could be farther from the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>She has interviewed several female detainees who became double victims – abused by their husbands or relatives, and then punished by those who should actually be protecting them.</p>
<p>&#8220;You hear the same stories over and over again: Women who go to the police for help and then end up in prison,&#8221; Heather Barr said.</p>
<p>A decade after the Taliban was toppled, the Afghan women are still waiting for justice, activists say.</p>
<p>Heather Barr: &#8220;It is very important that people understand that these horrible stories are happening today – 10 years after the fall of the Taliban regime, 10 years after that which has been recognized as the beginning of a new era for Afghan women.&#8221;</p>
<p>For many, this new era has never come, but for Gulnaz, there is now the hope of freedom. According to a prison official, her name is on a list of women who are supposed to be pardoned. But since she has no attorney, her papers still have to be processed.</p>
<p>It is possible for Gulnaz to hope for pardon because she, after 18 months of resistance, has now acquiesced to marrying her rapist. Gulnaz: &#8220;My daughter needs a father.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>There is an interesting report with video on <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2011/11/22/world/asia/afghanistan-rape/index.html?hpt=ias_c1">CNN</a> regarding the case of Gulnaz <em>(Thanks to PI reader ComebAck for the suggestion)</em>:</p>

A 69-year-old Turk impregnated his daughter and then killed her to cover up the fact. He buried the body in the garage. The defense is calling for&#8230; acquittal!</p>
<p><em>(By <a href="http://www.pi-news.net/2011/06/turke-schwangert-totet-und-verscharrt-tochter/" title="T&#252;rke schw&#228;ngert, t&#246;tet und verscharrt Tochter" target="_blank">Michael B&#246;thel</a> / Translation: Anders Denken)</em><span id="more-4527"></span></p>
<p>The <em>SHZ (Schleswig-Holsteiner Zeitung)</em> <a href="http://www.shz.de/nachrichten/top-thema/article//mord-an-tochter-staatsanwalt-fordert-lebenslang.html" title="SHZ" target="_blank">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s a solid case for the Kiel district attorney: an accused father has murdered his daughter in order to cover up the fact that the child is his. In the trial against the 69-year-old on Monday before the state court, the district attorney called for a life sentence. It was demonstrated that the man of Turkish origin killed his 29-year-old daughter the beginning of February 1996 in Trappenkamp (Segeberg district) and buried the body in a garage.</p>
<p>With the murder, he intended to cover up the fact that the victim was pregnant by him, District Attorney Achim Hackethal stated Monday before the state court.</p>
<p>Hackethal also proposed the assessment of an exceptional severity of guilt because the accused took not just one life but two. In addition he made his younger daughter an unwilling accomplice for almost 15 years. He forced her to remain silent and threatened her with death if she would reveal the secret.</p>
<p><strong>Under pressure from the mother, the younger sister broke silence</strong></p>
<p>Only the sister of the murder victim can be thanked that the horrible deed was ever brought to light, the prosecutor said. For the 29-year-old wasn&#8217;t missed because she was living illegally with her family after the expiration of her tourist visa. Thus, her death would not have caught the attention of the authorities. Her father explained her disappearance to her mother by saying she was picked up by the police and was deported to Turkey.</p>
<p>He carefully sent the mother on a convalescence vacation during the time of the crime, Hackethal stated. After that she asked about her child year after year and would not let up. Under pressure from the mother, the younger sister broke silence and filed a complaint. The accused was placed two days before Christmas 2010 under arrest. Two teeth and a few bone remnants were found in his garage. The accused apparently overlooked them when he exhumed the daughter and got rid of her elsewhere</p>
<p><strong>The sentence is expected on Wednesday</strong></p>
<p>Hackethal has called the statements by the sister completely verifiable. In contrast, the assertions of the father that he knew nothing of the pregnancy and hadn&#8217;t planned the crime were refuted by the hearing of evidence. The accused intended to cover-up the crime of &#8220;sleeping with relatives.&#8221;</p>
<p>The victim was a very shy woman leading a withdrawn life with psychological issues, Hackethal said. Due to illegal residence, she remained constantly out of sight. During the trial, the other daughter, the son and the wife had described the accused as the violent family tyrant who grossly abused the oldest daughter and the son. His brutalities against the victim had already early on reached such a degree that the mother, out of concern for her life, took her to relatives in Turkey back in the 1980s.</p>
<p>The defense called for acquittal on the grounds of &#8220;reasonable doubt for the accused.&#8221; Up to murder and homicide, all crimes have a statute of limitations. If what the accused asserts is true, then he must be acquitted. The verdict is expected Wednesday.</p></blockquote>
<p>A(n immigrant) person, who continues in such activity should not be kept in a German detention hotel. Halfway proper followup for this would be an operative intervention to free him from his perversion along with subsequent deportation. The verdict is expected on Wednesday.  PI will report on this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.pi-news.org/2011/03/time-to-unmask-muhammad/"><img alt="" src="http://www.pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2011/03/Mohammeds-wahres-Wesen.jpg" class="alignnone"  height="200" vspace="5"/></a>To know why Islam is a mortal danger one must not only consider the Koran but also the character of Muhammad, who conceived the Koran and the entirety of Islam.</p>
<p><em>(By Geert Wilders. Geert Wilders is an MP in the Netherlands. He is the Chairman of the Party for Freedom (PVV))</em><span id="more-4280"></span></p>
<p>The Koran is not just a book. Muslims believe that Allah himself wrote it and that it was dictated to Muhammad in the original version, the Umm al-Kitab, which is kept on a table in heaven. Consequently one cannot argue with the contents. Who would dare to disagree with what Allah himself has written? This explains much of Muhammadan behaviour, from the violence of jihad to the hatred and persecution of Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims and apostates. What we in the West regard as abnormal, is perfectly normal for Islam.</p>
<p>A second insuperable problem with Islam is the figure of Muhammad. He is not just anyone. He is al-insan al-kamil, the perfect man. To become a Muslim one must pronounce the Shahada (the Muslim creed). By pronouncing the Shahada one testifies that there is no god that can be worshiped except Allah, and one testifies that Muhammad is his servant and messenger.</p>
<p>The Koran, and hence Allah, lays down that Muhammad’s life must be imitated. The consequences of this are horrendous and can be witnessed on a daily basis.</p>
<p>There has been much analysis of Muhammad’s mental sanity. In spite of all the available research, it is rarely mentioned or debated. It is a taboo to discuss the true nature of the man whom one and a half billion Muslims around the world regard as a holy prophet and example to be followed. That taboo must be breached in the West, and here in the Netherlands.</p>
<p>Ali Sina is an Iranian ex-Muslim who established the organisation for apostates of Islam Faith  Freedom International. In his latest book <a href="http://www.jpost.com/Home/Article.aspx?id=104835" target=_blank>he posits</a> that Muhammad is a narcissist, a pedophile, a mass murderer, a terrorist, a misogynist, a lecher, a cult leader, a madman, a rapist, a torturer, an assassin and a looter. Sina has offered 50,000 dollars for the one who can prove otherwise. Nobody has claimed the reward as yet. And no wonder, as the description is based on the Islamic texts themselves, such as the hadiths, the descriptions of Muhammad’s life from testimonies of contemporaries.</p>
<p>The historical Muhammad was the savage leader of a gang of robbers from Medina. Without scruples they looted, raped and murdered. The sources describe orgies of savagery where hundreds of people’s throats were cut, hands and feet chopped off, eyes cut out, entire tribes massacred. An example is the extinction of the Jewish Kurayza tribe in Medina in 627. One of those who chopped off their heads was Muhammad. The women and children were sold as slaves. Confronted with the lunacy of Islamic terrorists today, it is not hard to find out where the lunacy comes from.</p>
<p>In Vienna the women’s rights activist Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff was recently sentenced to paying a fine for insulting a religion by calling Muhammad a pedophile. However, that is the truth. Numerous hadiths contain testimonies by Muhammad’s favourite wife, the child wife Aisha. Aisha literally says: “The prophet married me when I was six years old, and had intercourse with me when I was nine.”</p>
<p>According to the historian Theophanes (752-817) Muhammad was an epileptic. Epileptic crises are sometimes accompanied by hallucinations, perspiration form the forehead and foaming at the mouth, the very symptoms which Muhammad displayed during his visions.</p>
<p>In his book “The other Muhammad” (1992) the Flemish psychologist dr. Herman Somers concludes that in his forties the “prophet” began to suffer from acromegaly, a condition caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland, a small organ that is situated just below the brain. When the tumor in the pituitary gland causes too much pressure in the brain, people start to see and hear things that are not there. Somers’s psychopathological diagnosis of Muhammad’s condition is: organic hallucinatory affliction with paranoid characteristics.</p>
<p>The German medical historian Armin Geus speaks of a paranoid hallucinatory schizophrenia. A similar analysis can be found in the book “The Medical Case of Muhammad” by the physician Dede Korkut.</p>
<p>In his book “Psychology of Mohammed: Inside the Brain of a Prophet” Dr. Masud Ansari calls Muhammad “the perfect personification of a psychopath in power.” Muhammad had a unhinged paranoid personality with an inferiority complex and megalomaniac tendencies. In his forties he starts having visions that lead him to believe he has a cosmic mission, and there is no stopping him.</p>
<p>The truth is not always pleasant or politically correct. On the basis of the research referred to above it can be argued that the Islamic creed obliges one and a half billion people around the world, including the one million living in the Netherlands, to take Muhammad as their example. There is no turning back once one has become a Muslim. For even though article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that every person has the right to “change his religion or belief,” in Islam there is a death penalty for leaving the faith.</p>
<p>Anyone who voices criticism of Islam and Muhammad is in grave personal danger – as I have experienced. And whoever attempts to escape from the influence of Islam and Muhammad risks death. We cannot continue to accept this state of affairs. A public debate about the true nature and character of Muhammad can provide insight and support to Muslims all over the world who wish to leave Islam.</p>
<p>Apostates are heroes and more than ever they deserve the support of  freedom loving people all over the world. Party politics should not be at play in this matter. It is time for us to help these people by exposing Muhammad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Failure of Multiculturalism and How to Turn the Tide: <em>Signore e signori</em>, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends of the Magna Carta Foundation, <em>molte grazie</em>. Thank you for inviting me to Rome. It is great to be here in this beautiful city which for many centuries was the capital and the centre of Europe’s Judeo-Christian culture.<span id="more-4275"></span></p>
<p>Together with Jerusalem and Athens, Rome is the cradle of our Western civilization – the most advanced and superior civilization the world has ever known.</p>
<p>As Westerners, we share the same Judeo-Christian culture. I am from the Netherlands and you are from Italy. Our national cultures are branches of the same tree. We do not belong to multiple cultures, but to different branches of one single culture. This is why when we come to Rome, we all come home in a sense. We belong here, as we also belong in Athens and in Jerusalem.</p>
<p>It is important that we know where our roots are. If we lose them we become deracinated. We become men and women without a culture.</p>
<p>I am here today to talk about multiculturalism. This term has a number of different meanings. I use the term to refer to a specific political ideology. It advocates that all cultures are equal. If they are equal it follows that the state is not allowed to promote any specific cultural values as central and dominant. In other words: multiculturalism holds that the state should not promote a leitkultur, which immigrants have to accept if they want to live in our midst.</p>
<p>It is this ideology of cultural relativism which the German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently referred to when she said that multiculturalism has proved “an absolute failure.”</p>
<p>My friends, I dare say that we have known this all along. Indeed, the premise of the multiculturalist ideology is wrong. Cultures are not equal. They are different, because their roots are different. That is why the multiculturalists try to destroy our roots.</p>
<p>Rome is a very appropriate place to address these issues. There is an old saying which people of our Western culture are all familiar with. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” it says. This is an obvious truth: If you move somewhere, you must adapt to the laws and customs of the land.</p>
<p>The multicultural society has undermined this rule of common sense and decency. The multicultural society tells the newcomers who settle in our cities and villages: You are free to behave contrary to our norms and values. Because your norms and values are just as good, perhaps even better, than ours.</p>
<p>It is, indeed, appropriate to discuss these matters here in Rome, because the history of Rome also serves as a warning.</p>
<p>Will Durant, the famous 20th century American historian, wrote that “A great civilization cannot be destroyed from outside if it has not already destroyed itself from within.” This is exactly what happened here, in Rome, 16 centuries ago.</p>
<p>In the 5th century, the Roman Empire fell to the Germanic Barbarians. There is no doubt that the Roman civilization was far superior to that of the Barbarians. And yet, Rome fell. Rome fell because it had suffered a loss of belief in its own civilization. It had lost the will to stand up and fight for survival.</p>
<p>Rome did not fall overnight. Rome fell gradually. The Romans scarcely noticed what was happening. They did not perceive the immigration of the Barbarians as a threat until it was too late. For decades, Germanic Barbarians, attracted by the prosperity of the Empire, had been crossing the border.</p>
<p>At first, the attraction of the Empire on newcomers could be seen as a sign of the cultural, political and economic superiority of Rome. People came to find a better life which their own culture could not provide. But then, on December 31st in the year 406, the Rhine froze and tens of thousands of Germanic Barbarians, crossed the river, flooded the Empire and went on a rampage, destroying every city they passed. In 410, Rome was sacked.</p>
<p>The fall of Rome was a traumatic experience. Numerous books have been written about the cataclysmal event and Europeans were warned not to make the same mistake again. In 1899, in his book ‘The River War,’ Winston Churchill warned that Islam is threatening Europe in the same way as the Barbarians once threatened Rome. “Mohammedanism,” Churchill wrote – I quote – “is a militant and proselytizing faith. No stronger retrograde force exists in the World. […] The civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” End of quote.</p>
<p>Churchill is right. However, if Europe falls, it will fall because, like ancient Rome, it no longer believes in the superiority of its own civilization. It will fall because it foolishly believes that all cultures are equal and that, consequently, there is no reason why we should fight for our own culture in order to preserve it.</p>
<p>This failure to defend our own culture has turned immigration into the most dangerous threat that can be used against the West. Multiculturalism has made us so tolerant that we tolerate the intolerant.</p>
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake: Our opponents are keenly aware of our weakness. They realize that the pattern which led to the fall of Rome, is at play today in the West. They are keenly aware of the importance of Rome as a symbol of the West. Over and over again they hint at the fall of Rome. Rome is constantly on their minds.</p>
<p>• The former Turkish Prime Minister Erbakan said – I quote: “The whole of Europe will become Islamic. We will conquer Rome”.</p>
<p>• Yunis al-Astal, a Hamas cleric and member of the Palestinian Parliament said – I quote: “Very soon Rome will be conquered.”</p>
<p>• Ali Al-Faqir, the former Jordanian Minister of Religion,  stated that – I quote: “Islam will conquer Rome.”</p>
<p>• Sheikh Muhammad al-Arifi, imam of the mosque of the Saudi Defence Academy, said – I quote: “We will control Rome and introduce Islam in it.”</p>
<p>Our opponents are hoping for an event that is akin to the freezing of the Rhine in 406, when thousands of immigrants will be given an easy opportunity to cross massively into the West.</p>
<p>• In a 1974 speech to the UN, the Algerian President Houari Boumédienne, said – I quote: “One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.” End of quote.</p>
<p>• Libyan dictator Kadhafi said, I quote: “There are tens of millions of Muslims in the European continent today and their number is on the increase. This is the clear indication that the European continent will be converted into Islam. Europe will one day soon be a Muslim continent.” End of quote.</p>
<p>Our opponents are aiming for a repetition of the fall of Rome in the 5th century and want to use exactly the same methods. “The strategy of exporting human beings and having them breed in abundance is the simplest way to take possession of a territory,” warned the famous Italian author Oriana Fallaci.</p>
<p>However, the situation today could be worse than it was when the Roman Empire fell. The Germanic Barbarians who overran Rome were not driven by an ideology. After having sacked Rome, they eventually adopted the Judeo-Christian civilization of Rome. They destroyed Rome because they wanted its riches, but they realized and recognized that Roman civilization was superior to their own Barbaric culture.</p>
<p>Having destroyed Rome, the Germanic tribes eventually tried to rebuild it. In 800, the Frankish leader Charlemagne had himself crowned Roman Emperor. Three hundred years later, the Franks and the other Europeans  would go on the Crusades in defence of their Christian culture. The Crusades were as Oriana Fallaci wrote – I quote – a “counter-offensive designed to stem Islamic expansionism in Europe.” Rome had fallen, but like a phoenix it had risen again.</p>
<p>Contrary to the Barbarians which confronted Rome, the followers of Muhammad are driven by an ideology which they want to impose on us.</p>
<p>Islam is a totalitarian ideology. Islamic Shariah law supervises every detail of life. Islam is not compatible with our Western way of life. Islam is a threat to our values. Respect for people who think otherwise, the equality of men and women, the equality of homosexuals and heterosexuals, respect for Christians, Jews, unbelievers and apostates, the separation of church and state, freedom of speech, they are all under pressure because of islamization.</p>
<p>Europe is islamizing at a rapid pace. Many European cities have large islamic concentrations. In some neighbourhoods, Islamic regulations are already being enforced. Women’s rights are being trampled. We are confronted with headscarves and burqa’s, polygamy, female genital mutilation, honour-killings. “In each one of our cities” says Oriana Fallaci, “there is a second city, a state within the state, a government within the government. A Muslim city, a city ruled by the Koran.” – End of quote.</p>
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake: The multiculturalist Left is facilitating islamization. Leftist multiculturalists are cheering for every new shariah bank, for every new islamic school, for every new mosque. Multiculturalists consider Islam as being equal to our own culture. Shariah law or democracy? Islam or freedom? It doesn’t really matter to them. But it does matter to us. The entire leftist elite is guilty of practising cultural relativism. Universities, churches, trade unions, the media, politicians. They are all betraying our hard-won liberties. </p>
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, what is happening in Europe today has to some extent been deliberately planned.</p>
<p>In October 2009, Andrew Neather, the former advisor of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, confirmed that the British Government had deliberately organized mass immigration as part of a social engineering project. The Blair Government wanted to – I quote – “make the UK truly multicultural.” To achieve this end, 2.3 million foreigners were allowed to enter Britain between 2000 and 2009. Neather says this policy has “enriched” Britain.</p>
<p>Ordinary people, however, do not consider the decline of societal cohesion, the rise of crime, the transformation of their old neighborhoods into no-go zones, to be an “enrichment.”</p>
<p>Ordinary people are well aware that they are witnessing a population replacement phenomenon. Ordinary people feel attached to the civilization which their ancestors created. They do not want it to be replaced by a multicultural society where the values of the immigrants are considered as good as their own. It is not xenophobia or islamophobia to consider our Western culture as superior to other cultures – it is plain common sense.</p>
<p>Fortunately, we are still living in a democracy. The opinion of ordinary people still matters. I am the leader of the Dutch Party of Freedom which aims to halt the Islamization process and defend the traditional values and liberties in the Netherlands. The Party of Freedom is the fastest growing party in the Netherlands.</p>
<p>Because the message of my party is so important, I support initiatives to establish similar parties in other countries, such as Germany, France and the United Kingdom, where they do not yet exist. Last month, a poll in Britain showed that a staggering 48 percent of the British would consider supporting a non-fascist and non-violent party that vows to crack down on immigration and Islamic extremists and restrict the building of mosques. In October last year, I was in Berlin where I gave a keynote speech at a meeting of Die Freiheit, a newly established party led by René Stadtkewitz, a former Christian-Democrat. German polls indicate that such a party has a potential of 20 percent of the electorate.</p>
<p>My speech, in which I urged the Germans to stop feeling ashamed about their German identity drew a lot of media attention. Two weeks later, German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated that multiculturalism is “an absolute failure.” Horst Seehofer, the leader of the Bavarian Christian-Democrats, was even more outspoken. “Multiculturalism is dead,” he said.</p>
<p>Last month, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said: “We have been too concerned about the identity of the immigrant and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him.” – End of quote.</p>
<p>Five weeks ago, British Prime Minister David Cameron blamed multiculturalism for Islamic extremism. “We have allowed the weakening of our collective identity,” he said. “Under the doctrine of state multiculturalism, we have encouraged different cultures to live […] apart from the mainstream.” – End of quote.</p>
<p>In his speech, David Cameron still makes a distinction between the Islamist ideology, which he calls extremist and dangerous, and Islam, which he says is peaceful religion. I do not share this view, and neither did Cameron’s great predecessor Winston Churchill. Stating that Islam is peaceful is a multiculturalist dogma which is contrary to the truth.</p>
<p>Politicians such as Merkel. Sarkozy and Cameron still do not seem to have understood what the problem really is. </p>
<p>Nevertheless, the fact that they feel compelled to distance themselves from multiculturalism is a clear indication that they realize they need to pay lip-service to what the majority of their populations have long understood. Namely that the massive influx of immigrants from Islamic countries is the most negative development that Europe has known in the past 50 years.</p>
<p>Yesterday, a prestigious poll in the Netherlands revealed that 50 percent of the Dutch are of the opinion that Islam and democracy are not compatible, while 42 percent think they are. Even two thirds of the voters of the Liberal Party and of the Christian-Democrat Party are convinced that Islam and democracy are not compatible.</p>
<p>This, then, is the political legacy of multiculturalism. While the parties of the Left have found themselves a new electorate, the establishment parties of the Right still harbour their belief that Islam is a religion of peace on a par with peaceful religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and others.</p>
<p>The problem with multiculturalism is a refusal to see reality. The reality that our civilization is superior, and the reality that Islam is a dangerous ideology.</p>
<p>Today, we are confronted with political unrest in the Arab countries. Autocratic regimes, such as that of Ben Ali in Tunisia, Mubarak in Egypt, Kadhafi in Libya, the Khalifa dynasty in Bahrain, and others, have been toppled or are under attack. The Arab peoples long for freedom. This is only natural. However, the ideology and culture of Islam is so deeply entrenched in these countries that real freedom is simply impossible. As long as Islam remains dominant there can be no real freedom.</p>
<p>Let us face reality. On March 8, the International Women’s Day, 300 women demonstrated on Cairo’s Tahrir Square in post-Mubarak Egypt. Within minutes, the women were charged by a group of bearded men, who beat them up and dragged them away. Some were even sexually assaulted. The police did not interfere. This is the new Egypt: On Monday, people demonstrate for freedom; on Tuesday, the same people beat up women because they, too, demand freedom.</p>
<p>I fear that in Islamic countries, democracy will not lead to real freedom. A survey by the American Pew Center found that 59 percent of Egyptians prefer democracy to any other form of government. However, 85 percent say that Islam’s influence on politics is good, 82 percent believe that adulterers should be stoned, 84 percent want the death penalty for apostates, and 77 percent say that thieves should be flogged or have their hands cut off.</p>
<p>Ronald Reagan was right when he called Kadhafi a “mad dog.” However, we should not harbor the illusion that there can be real freedom and real democracy in a country where Islam is dominant. There is no doubt that the results of the Pew survey in Egypt apply in Libya, too. It is not in our interest to bring the Muslim Brotherhood to power in Tripoli and install a khalifate in Libya.</p>
<p>Of course, the world has to stop Kadhafi from killing his own people. However, as UN Resolution 1973 stated last week, this is primarily the responsibility of – I quote – “in particular [the] States of the region.” End of quote. Why does a country like the Netherlands have to contribute six F16 fighter jets to enforce the arms embargo in Libya, while Saudi Arabia does not contribute a single plane from its fleet of nearly 300 fighter jets? Arabs are dying, but the Arab countries are shirking their responsibilities.</p>
<p>And one of the major threats of the current crisis is not even addressed by our leaders: How are we going to prevent that thousands of economic fugitives and fortune seekers cross the Mediterranean and arrive at place like Lampedusa? Now that Tunisia is liberated, young Tunisians should help to rebuild their country instead of leaving for Lampedusa. Europe cannot afford another influx of thousands of refugees.</p>
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, It is time to wake up. We need to confront reality and we need to speak the truth. The truth is that Islam is evil, and the reality is that Islam is a threat to us.</p>
<p>Before I continue I want to make clear, however, that I do not have a problem with Muslims as such. There are many moderate Muslims. That is why I always make a clear distinction between the people and the ideology, between Muslims and Islam. There are many moderate Muslims, but there is no such thing as a moderate Islam. </p>
<p>Islam strives for world domination. The koran commands Muslims to exercise jihad and impose shariah law.</p>
<p>Telling the truth about immigration and warning that Islam might not be as benevolent as the ruling elite says, has been made a hate speech crime in several EU member states. As you probably know, I have been brought to court on charges of hate speech. That is the paradox of the multicultural society. It claims to be pluralistic, but allows only one point of view of world affairs, namely that all cultures are equal and that they are all good. </p>
<p>The fact that we are treated as criminals for telling the truth must not, however, deter us. The truth that Islam is evil has always been obvious to our ancestors. That is why they fought. It was very clear to them that our civilization was far superior to Islam.</p>
<p>It is not difficult to understand why our culture is far better than Islam. We Europeans, whether we be Christians, Jews, agnostics or atheists, believe in reason. We have always known that nothing good could be expected from Islam.</p>
<p>While our culture is rooted in Jerusalem, Athens and Rome, Islam’s roots are the desert and the brain of Muhammad. Our ancestors understood the consequences very well. The Koran, wrote the historian Theophanes, who lived in the second half of the 8th century, is based on hallucinations.</p>
<p>“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman,” the Byzantine Emperor Manuel II said in 1391, adding: “God is not pleased by blood – and not acting reasonable is contrary to God’s nature.”</p>
<p>For 1,400 years, Westerners have been criticizing Islam and its founder because they recognized evil when they saw it. But then, suddenly, in the last decades of the past century, especially from the 1970s onwards, Western intellectuals stopped doing so.</p>
<p>The moral and cultural relativism of Marxism led the West’s political and intellectual elites to adopt a utopian belief in a universal brotherhood of mankind. </p>
<p>Multiculturalism is a culture of repudiation of Europe’s heritage and freedoms. It weakens the West day by day. It leads to the self-censorship of the media and academia, the collapse of the education system, the emasculation of the churches, the subversion of the nation-state, the break-down of our free society.</p>
<p>While today – at last – our leaders seem to realize what a disastrous failure multiculturalism has been, multiculturalism is not dead yet. More is needed to defeat multiculturalism than the simple proclamations that it has been an “absolute failure.” What is needed is that we turn the tide of Islamization.</p>
<p>There are a few things which we can do in this regard.</p>
<p>One thing which we should do is to oppose the introduction of Sharia or Islamic law in our countries. In about a dozen states in the United States, legislation is currently being introduced to prevent the introduction of Sharia. In early May, I will be traveling to the U.S. to express my support to these initiatives. We should consider similar measures in Europe.</p>
<p>Another thing which we should do is support Muslims who want to leave Islam. An International Women’s Day is useless in the Arab world if there is no International Leave Islam Day. I propose the introduction of such a day in which we can honor the courageous men and women who want to leave Islam. Perhaps we can pick a symbolic date for such a day and establish an annual prize for an individual who has turned his back on Islam or an organization which helps people to liberate themselves from Islam. It is very easy to become a Muslim. All one has to do is to pronounce the Shahada, the Islamic creed, which says – I quote “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” It should be equally easy to leave Islam by pronouncing a counter-Shahada, which says “I leave Islam and join humankind.”</p>
<p>A third measure to turn the tide of Islamization is to reemphasize the sovereignty of the nation-state. The peoples of the free world will only be able to fight back against Islam if they can rally around a flag with which they can identify. This flag, symbolizing pre-political loyalty, can only be the flag of our nation. In the West, our freedoms are embodied in our nation-states. This is why the multiculturalists are hostile to the nation-state and aim to destroy it.</p>
<p>National identity is an inclusive identity: It welcomes everyone, whatever his religion or race, who is willing to assimilate into a nation by sharing the fate and future of a people. It ties the individual to an inheritance, a tradition, a loyalty, and a culture.</p>
<p>I want to elaborate a bit on this since we are gathered here today in Rome. Again, it is appropriate that we are in Rome. In this city, in 1957, and – what an ironic coincidence – on this very day, the 25th of March, the Treaty of Rome was signed. This Treaty obliges the member states of the European Union to aim for “an ever closer union.”</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this union, like other multinational organizations, has become one of the vehicles for the promotion of multiculturalism. The EU has fallen in the hands of a multiculturalist elite who by undermining national sovereignty destroy the capacity of the peoples of Europe to democratically decide their own future.</p>
<p>The new government in my country, which is supported by my party, wants to restrict immigration. That is what our voters want. But we are confronted by the fact that our policies have to a large extent been outsourced to “Europe” and that our voters no longer have a direct say over their own future.</p>
<p>On account of international treaties, EU legislation prevails over national legislation and cannot be reversed by national parliaments. Indeed, in 2008, the European Court of Justice, the highest court in the EU, annulled both Irish and Danish immigration legislation. The Court stated that national law is subordinate to whatever is ruled on the European level. In March 2010, the European Court of Justice annulled Dutch legislation restricting family reunification for immigrants on welfare.</p>
<p>The ease with which Europe’s political elite conducts an immigration policy aimed at the deracination of Europe shows the insensitivity of this elite. It willingly sacrifices its own people to its political goal, without any consideration for the people involved.</p>
<p>Lower class blue-collar people have been driven from their neighborhoods. There is no respect for their democratic vote. On the contrary, people who do not agree with the multiculturalist schemes are considered to be racists and xenophobes, while the undefined offence of “racism and xenophobia” has been made central to all moral pronouncements by the European Union, the Council of Europe, the United Nations, and other supra-national organizations. This represents a systematic assault by the elite on the ordinary feelings of national loyalty.</p>
<p>In 2008, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe stated that the member-states must – I quote – “condemn and combat Islamophobia” and ensure “that school textbooks do not portray Islam as a hostile or threatening religion.” – end of quote.</p>
<p>In March 2010, the United Nations Human Rights Council passed a resolution criminalizing so-called “defamation of religions.” The resolution, authored by Pakistan, mentions only one religion by name: Islam. With its 57 member states the Organization of the Islamic Conference systematically uses its voting power in the UN to subvert the concept of freedom and human rights. In 1990, the OIC rejected the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and replaced it by the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, which states in articles 24 that – I quote – “All the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Sharia.” – end of quote.</p>
<p>This “human rights” charade has to stop if Western civilization wants to survive. Human rights exist for the protection of individuals, not religions and ideologies.</p>
<p>The EU’s aim, meanwhile, seems to be to destroy the old sovereign nations and replace them by new provincial identities, which are all clones of each other. Britanistan will not differ from Netherlandistan, nor Germanistan from Italiastan, or any other province of the European superstate in the making.</p>
<p>We must reclaim Europe. We can only do so by giving political power back to the nation-state. By defending the nation-states which we love, we defend our own identity. By defending our identity, we defend who we are and what we are against those who want to deracinate us. Against those who want to cut us from our roots, so that our culture withers away and dies.</p>
<p>My friends, Twenty years after the ordinary people, Europe’s mainstream conservative leaders, such as Merkel, Sarkozy and Cameron, have finally – better late than never – come to the obvious conclusion, namely that multiculturalism is a failure. However, they do not have a plan to remedy the situation.</p>
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for change. We must make haste. Time is running out. Ronald Reagan said: “We need to act today, to preserve tomorrow”. That is why I propose the following measures in order to preserve our freedom:</p>
<p>First, we will have to defend freedom of speech. It is the most important of our liberties. If we are free to speak, we will be able to tell people the truth and they will realize what is at stake.</p>
<p>Second, we will have to end cultural relativism. To the multiculturalists, we must proudly proclaim: Our Western culture is far superior to the Islamic culture. Only when we are convinced of that, we will be willing to fight for our own identity.</p>
<p>Third, we will have to stop Islamization. Because more Islam means less freedom. We must stop immigration from Islamic countries, we must expel criminal immigrants, we must forbid the construction of new mosques. There is enough Islam in Europe already. Immigrants must assimilate and adapt to our values: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.</p>
<p>Fourth, we must restore the supremacy and sovereignty of the nation-state. Because we are citizens of these states, we can take pride in them. We love our nation because they are our home, because they are the legacy which our fathers bestowed on us and which we want to bestow on our children. We are not multiculturalists, we are patriots. And because we are patriots, we are willing to fight for freedom.</p>
<p>Let me end with a final – and a positive – remark: Though the situation is bad and multiculturalism is still predominant, we are in better shape than the Roman Empire was before its fall.</p>
<p>The Roman Empire was not a democracy. The Romans did not have freedom of speech. We are the free men of the West. We do not fight for an Empire, we fight for ourselves. We fight for our national republics. You fight for Italy, I fight for the Netherlands, others fight for France, Germany, Britain, Denmark or Spain. Together we stand. Together we represent the nations of Europe.</p>
<p>I am confident that if we can safeguard freedom of speech and democracy, our civilization will be able to survive. Europe will not fall. We, Europe’s patriots, will not allow it.</p>
<p>Thank you very much.</p>

The author of the book “Islam Is of the Devil” talks in an interview with PI about his plans in the fight against Islam.<span id="more-4200"></span></p>
<p><strong>PI: In the German Wikipedia page about you, you are described as a US-pastor who worked for over 30 years as a missionary in Germany. Would you agree with this description and if so, what is your mission?</strong></p>
<p>I would agree with that statement.  I was first, two years down in Munich, and after two years there, we moved to Cologne.  Of which we spent around thirty years there as a missionary Pastor.   My mission, as I was in Germany was to bring the Salvation message, the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, to the German people.  The Church in Germany, as well as in all of Europe, is pretty dead.  From my experience, they in general do not really preach the Bible or the Gospel Salvation message.  They preach some type of green political gospel.  Our mission, now, is to bring an awareness and a warning, to be a type of voice, a type of prophetic voice if you want to call it that.  A type of voice that gives a warning concerning radical Islam, the dangers of Islam, and the dangers of Sharia as Islamic law in our society.  Also part of our mission here in America and worldwide, besides Islam, is to awaken the Church.  The Church needs to stand up on issues whether it be Islam, whether it be an issue like abortion.  It is partly the Church&#8217;s job, not only to preach the Gospel message and a standard within the confines of the walls of the Church, but to also come outside of that.  The Church is one of the last hopes because the Church is to be accountable to God and preaching the message of God.  It is very hard to rely upon the worldly system, such as politicians, because politicians are elected and they usually go with what happens to be popular this particular moment.  Usually what happens to be popular right now is not often the correct thing, or the correct way to go.</p>
<p><strong>You are often quoted for having said &#8220;Islam is of the devil&#8221;. In which context have you made this remark? Do you see the relationship between Islam and the devil rather on a theological or on a political level?</strong></p>
<p>I mean it in both of those aspects.  Christianity is the only way.  The Bible is very clear.  Jesus said himself, &#8216;He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  That no one comes to the Father, or Salvation, except through Jesus Christ.&#8217;  So of course, as a Christian Pastor, I believe the only true Salvation is found in the Bible.  It is found in Jesus Christ.  In other words that would make any other religion, including Islam, any other ideology, any other theology, other than Christianity of the devil.  All others do not lead to eternal life nor to Salvation.  As a Pastor, that would be my view.  Islam is of the devil could be also be referred to in a political sense, although in that sense it was meant more spiritually.  As an American I realize the rights of Islam, the rights of Muslims to worship in our country, to worship freely, and to build mosques.  As an American, that is not the problem that we have with Islam.  We recognize those rights under our Constitution.  The problem we have is with the radical element of Islam that wants to destroy and tear down our way of life, our civilization, the element who wants to replace our constitution and our laws of the land with Sharia.  That, of course, we are very radically against.  We welcome any Muslims into our country who are willing to obey, submit to, recognize the laws of the land in other words the Constitution of the United States.  Otherwise, all Muslims and the radical element that desire to change our Constitution or to replace our Constitution with Sharia, are not welcome here in America.  It is very important that Muslims understand from the very beginning what is expected of them when they decide to immigrate into our country.</p>
<p><strong>If Islam is of the devil, what would be salvation? And how could it come?  What would you suggest us to do, to be saved from the evil?</strong></p>
<p>Of course, when we&#8217;re talking about Salvation, then to me, Salvation is a spiritual word.  Then, Salvation is only found through repentance, through the blood of Jesus Christ, through the Bible, through Christianity.  That is the only way to find Salvation.  This Salvation comes through forgiveness, it comes through repentance, it comes through accepting Jesus Christ.  </p>
<p>&#8220;What would you suggest us to do, to be saved from the evil?&#8221; That I have already answered in a spiritual manner.  To be saved from the evil of Islam as far as a society goes, we need very clear rules and regulations.  We need to set for Islam very clear boundaries.  Those boundaries would be as I have already described.  Muslims, their religion and their mosques are indeed welcome in our society.  In our free society where we recognize the human rights of individuals and the civil rights of individuals, where we recognize their right to worship, to build mosques.  That is not a problem.  However, very clear boundaries need to be set when we get into the political aspect of Islam.  Sharia, the overthrow of our government, those types of things are not welcome in our society.  When it comes to the radical element of Islam, it needs to be clearly stated  that that type of ideology, that type of thinking, that type of goals are not welcome here in America.  They are, I assume, not welcome in Europe. We will fight that radical element, we will resist that type of attitude, that type of takeover or plan.</p>
<p><strong>You have become internationally famous by your annunciation to burn a copy of the quran. What was your intention to do this? What have you hoped to achieve and what was the outcome of the prevented action?</strong></p>
<p>It came about because of September the eleventh.  We had already been active for quite some time concerning Islam and radical Islam.  The 9/11 event was to honor those who were murdered at that time, and it was also intended to send a very clear message to radical Islam.  It was to send them a warning.  It was to be a type of protest, demonstration against them burning Bibles, burning churches, burning people.  Muslims are welcome in America.  What is not welcome is Islam&#8217;s desire, as they have said many times, as the founder of CAIR has said, is to replace our Constitution, to make the Koran the highest law of the land, by instituting Sharia.  Those types of things are not welcome.  The burning of the Koran was a protest and a demonstration against that.  Later on it came into connection with the mosque in New York, which we are also opposed to.  We are not opposed to the mosque because of it not being their right to build it.  They have a right to build the mosque there as long as they meet certain building regulations.  Building the mosque at Ground Zero is in very poor taste.  Most of Americans do not desire the mosque to be built there and want the mosque moved to a different location.  It would be a very positive gesture by a so-called religion of peace, if they decide to bow to the will of the people and move the mosque.  Their lack of doing that, their persistence, and their stubbornness further proves that Islam is not a religion of peace, also that Islam is not willing to give and take.   Islam is not willing to be integrated into a society. As far as Islam is concerned, it is Islam&#8217;s way or nothing at all.  As you can see, amidst all of the protests, they still are not willing to simply move the mosque to a different location.  </p>
<p>&#8220;What have you hoped to achieve and what was the outcome of the prevented action?&#8221; We hope to have achieved and continue to bring an awareness of Islam, so people will begin to look at it, and see that there is a very, very dangerous element of Islam.  Our point was proven very well.  On 9/11, we did not burn the Koran.  We did not break any laws according to our Constitution and freedom of speech.  But all around the world, especially there in Indonesia and Pakistan violence broke out.  There is a root element of Islam that is fueled by the radical statements and violent statements that you find in the Koran.  Islam proves itself to be a violent, radical religion because of the violence that breaks out around the world, and because of the people who are involved in it are so afraid of Islam themselves.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the criticism coming from other Islam critics who condemned your idea of burning the quran?</strong></p>
<p>Most people who criticize Islam are just talkers.  As a society, we have lost our guts to stand up.  We see that very clearly in the Church.   Even here in America, very famous people like Franklin Graham and other ministers of the Gospel have spoken out very boldly against Islam in the past.  When we decided to actually do something by burning copies of the Koran in protest,   they did not side with us.  Instead, they came against us.  Even our own government, our own President, and other government officials came against us.  Instead of siding with us, for our right to freedom of expression and freedom of speech, they agreed with the decision of Islam to build a mosque near Ground Zero.  Thus proving that our society has become a society of talkers and not a society that is willing to do something.  Thus proving that our society has been infiltrated by cowardness, it has been infiltrated by political correctness, it has been infiltrated by people who are more willing to appease evil than to actually stand up and speak out against a very, very apparent threat.</p>
<p><strong>A lot of people fighting Islam are Christians, others are Jews, agnostics or atheists. On which level do you think the own religious background matters in the fight against Islam? And would you like to replace Islam by Christianity?</strong></p>
<p>It does not matter in the fight against Islam, in the fight against Sharia, in the fight against the advancement of the lie and deception of Islam through Europe and through the United States,.  In that particular aspect, the religious background does not matter.  Whether they are Christians or Jews, whether the are Atheists, whether they are believers or non-believers, in this particular fight we can all unite together on the fact that Islam, radical Islam, is very, very dangerous and we must fight together.  We can stand together for their rights just like Christians have rights, Jews have rights, Atheists have rights, Muslims have rights.  They have a right to religious freedom, freedom of expression, freedom to build places of worship.  We can all unite together under these causes.  It is very important, that in this particular aspect, the religious views, or the lack of religious views does not matter.  We need to, and we must unite together against this common evil, this threat, radical Islam.</p>
<p>&#8220;And would you like to replace Islam by Christianity?&#8221; It depends on who you&#8217;re asking.  When you ask Terry Jones, the Pastor, of course I believe that Jesus Christ is the only way.  It is my desire that everyone is saved and comes to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ as being the one and only way and Savior.  It would be my desire that the 1.5 billion Muslims get saved.  When that question is put to me as a Pastor, of course that is my desire.  As an American, I recognize the Constitution of the United States, freedom of religion and freedom of speech.  I recognize and honor their religion or their right to practice their religion without any form of persecution or social or economical disadvantages.  In that sense we are a hundred percent for their rights, and stand to our Constitution, freedom of speech and freedom of religion.</p>
<p><strong>Like Geert Wilders before, you were hindered to enter the UK in the beginning of this year. How did the British authorities justify this? Are you going to fight such kind of treatment in any way?</strong></p>
<p>You can find we received, on a Tuesday a letter from the British government informing us that we would be denied entry into the UK.  That letter can be found on our web site <a href="http://www.standupamericanow.org" target=_blank>www.standupamericanow.org</a> if you would like to read that.  It said they felt that our coming to the UK would not be beneficial for the good of the general population.  Of course we are in very much disagreement with that.  We had assured the British government, as well as the British news media, when we did many, many interviews in that period of time, that we would not have been there to break any type of laws.  We recognize that Britain has a type of limited freedom of speech.  We had no intention in violating that.  Our message would have been a very positive message.  It would have been a message of acceptance and obedience.  In other words it is our job as Americans, as Brits, as citizens of a country, to accept people who immigrate into our country.  People who we allow to immigrate into our country should be allowed the same human rights, religious rights as anyone else.  In that sense it is a message of acceptance and even of tolerance, if you want to use that word.  The other message would have been a message of obedience.  We do indeed expect people who immigrate into our country to be obedient.  In other words, for them to respect, honor and obey the laws of the land, in our case here in America the Constitution of the United States.  We do not expect and we will not allow them to alter or change our Constitution.  We expect for them to honor, obey and submit to the laws of the land.  If they wish to be governed by Sharia then that is definitely a desire that we do not have here.  If they wish to be governed by Sharia, then they should go back to countries who honor that.  There are many countries around the world who honor Sharia, Islamic law.  If that is their desire, then they should go and immigrate to those countries.  It is not our desire here.  So in that sense it would have been a very valuable message for the UK or for any other European country, a message of acceptance on our part and a message of obedience on the part of the person who has immigrated into a foreign country.  </p>
<p>&#8220;Are you going to fight such kind of treatment in any way?&#8221; We are checking into fighting that ban. From what we have been able to understand and from what we have been informed by a couple different authorities, the British government did indeed act contrary to International Law and violated our human right to freedom of speech.  </p>
<p><strong>We have heard about your idea of bringing the quran into court, which was reported in German media. What do you hope to achieve? Do you think there are realistic legal ways to forbid the quran like &#8220;Mein Kampf&#8221; is forbidden in Germany, for example? How exactly would you reason a quran-ban?</strong></p>
<p>We have declared, March the 20th, 2011, International Judge the Koran Day.  That event will be set up like a regular court.  We will have a judge, a jury or type of counsel.  We will have a prosecuting attorney and a defense attorney.  At that time the Koran will be put on trial.  The trial will take place in Arabic and in English.  We need to go back to the original language of the Koran because as we are all aware, the Koran in its original state is even more violent than the watered down English translation.  We believe the Koran will, without a doubt, be found guilty.  If it is found guilty, then it will be punished.  We have chosen one of four punishments.  The Koran will either be burned, drowned, shredded, or face a firing squad.  We will show the whole world that indeed the Koran, when strictly followed, does lead to terrorist activity.  It does lead to murder.  It does encourage the murder of unbelievers, of anyone who resists or criticizes the Koran, or its so-called prophet Mohammed.  We will take those findings to Washington DC, present them to our government officials, in the hope that they will demand and  convince countries dominated by Islam to institute in their land freedom of speech and freedom of religion.  For many, many generations the Christian Church and other minorities in countries dominated by Islam have been persecuted.  </p>
<p>We hope that in finding the Koran guilty, by revealing the true violent nature of the Koran, we will be able to convince our government and our government will try to convince other governments to open up their minds, open up their borders to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.  </p>
<p>&#8220;Do you think there are realistic legal ways to forbid the quran like &#8220;Mein Kampf&#8221; is forbidden in Germany, for example? How exactly would you reason a quran-ban?&#8221; I know in Germany Mein Kampf has been banned and in Holland also.  It is at this time not our intention to get the Koran banned.  Our intention is to warn the people and to reveal the deception of the Koran, the violence of the Koran.  The Koran and Islamic religion is actually a religion of great, great seduction, and of great deception and oppression.</p>
<p><strong>Thank you.</strong></p>

<p>Whoever is unable to cease from shaking hands and conversation or a walk together runs the risk of arrest, flogging and the death penalty.</p>
<p><em>Die Welt </em><a href="http://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article12051031/Maennern-und-Frauen-wird-Haendeschuetteln-verboten.html" target=_blank>reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;That is a horrible regulation,&#8221; Hussein Ali from the city of Jowhar said. &#8220;I feel as if I am under arrest. I have begun to ignore the greetings of female acquaintances in order to avoid punishment.&#8221;</p>
<p>The al-Shabaab edict is being carried out in the city of Elasha as well. Female student Hamdi Osman said that armed individuals searched busses for women travelling alone or that weren&#8217;t appropriately dressed. They were beaten because they wore a traditional Somali dress instead of the long, black and shapeless robe that is preferred by the militia.</p></blockquote>
<p>The new Islamic laws apply to women especially: they are no longer permitted to wear normal clothes, only black, shapeless sack-like robes. Also, what&#8217;s under has to be Islamically correct: bras are prohibited. Women are no longer allowed to work outside of their homes and risk their lives if they don&#8217;t want their children to starve. And just as prohibited are movies and music. Favorite measures for the punishment of (female) criminals are &#8220;public amputations, floggings and stonings.&#8221;</p>
<p><u>Note:</u> The subject of &#8220;Sharia and Women&#8221; is &#8220;surprisingly&#8221; not an issue to be found on the <a href="http://www.amnesty.de/" target=_blank>German Amnesty homepage</a>, nor on <a href="http://www.amnesty.de/urgent-actions-0" target=_blank>&#8220;Urgent Actions&#8221;</a> nor on the <a href="http://www.amnesty.de/laenderbericht/somalia" target=_blank>&#8220;Somalia National Report&#8221;</a>. As usually, this one pretty much got past Amnesty&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.pi-news.org/2011/01/50000-girls-under-threat-of-circumcision/"><img alt="" src="http://www.pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2010/12/beschn1.jpg" class="alignnone" width="440"  /></a>The Bund Deutscher Kriminalbeamter (BDK) (Association of German Criminal Officers) warns that 50,000 girls are under the threat of circumcision. And not somewhere in Indonesia, Egypt, Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia or the Sudan. No. Rather among us here in Germany. In collaboration with the Task Force for Effective Prevention of Genital Mutilation (registered non-profit), the BDK has made it their duty to protect minor-aged girls in this country from this mutilation.</p>
<p><em>(By Michael St&#252;rzenberger / <a href="http://www.pi-news.net/2010/12/50-000-maedchen-von-beschneidung-bedroht/" target=_blank>Translation</a>: Anders Denken)</em><span id="more-4077"></span></p>
<p>The <em>Kieler Nachrichten</em> <a href="http://www.kn-online.de/microsites/polizei_ticker/210438-BDK-GENITALVERSTueMMELUNG-IN-DEUTSCHLAND.html" target=_blank>reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The The Bund Deutscher Kriminalbeamter (BDK) (Association of German Criminal Officers) and the TaskForce for Effective Prevention of Genital Mutilation (reg. non-profit) are jointly engaging in the protection of up to 50,000 girls in Germany under the threat of female genital mutilation (FGM).</p>
<p>The keeping of minor-aged girls safe from this serious violence is a special task of child protection for which the Bund Deutscher Kriminalbeamter has fortified itself for many years.</p></blockquote>
<p>An exceptionally praiseworthy engagement that is not so easy to implement in this country, though. Bureaucracy and data protection make the work of the criminal officers difficult:</p>
<blockquote><p>Successful prevention also requires a consistent prosecution that demonstrate legal boundaries to criminals. Until now, the prosecuting authorities have had their hands tied because the crimes for the most part are never brought to light.</p>
<p>There is neither a requirement for investigation nor for medical reporting. Even when a pediatrician coincidentally happens to make a diagnosis of genital mutilation, he is not permitted to report this abuse to the authorities.</p></blockquote>
<p>In order to clarify the scope of this crime being practiced against young girls here, the viewing of this video should not be skipped:</p>
<p><object width="440" height="350"><embed src="http://livingscoop.com/v/902/" width="440" height="350" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="window" /></object></p>
<p>So, this is not just happening in Third World Countries, or in remote African-Arab-Asian villages, but right here among us in Germany. Since politicians still haven&#8217;t really identified this problem comprehensively up to this point, or on the basis of political correctness have avoided clear positions of points regarding the prevention of these crimes, the BDK must appeal to the vigilance of the population. A sign of absolute helplessness:</p>
<blockquote><p>Because of this, the girls in danger now depend on the discretion of society in genera. People that have heard of a planned or already executed crime, but often don&#8217;t know to whom they should turn.</p></blockquote>
<p>To whom one can turn is described in the article from the <em>Kieler Nachrichten</em>, but: who then should be notified of things from these crimes that occur in the closed environment of the families who have sealed themselves off? These girls, in addition, are most certainly intimidated so that they would hardly give any outward sign of their own volition. Most are indeed convinced that what is happening here is the right thing because, after all, it is explained to them on the basis of religion.</p>
<p>Even if the Mazyeks, Albogas, Ayyub-K&#246;hlers and Idrizes of this country repeat their stereotypical saying that this, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, here, as with other subjects regarding violence, is where it must be distinctly countered with oppression of the woman, forced marriages, honor murders, religious war, etc. and so on.</p>
<p>For circumcision actually did exist before the appearance of Islam. However: The prophet Muhammad didn&#8217;t forbid it, rather he permitted it – with one small limitation, how merciful. <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beschneidung_weiblicher_Genitalien" target=_blank>Wikipedia</a> explains:</p>
<blockquote><p>The most often quoted Hadith in connection with circumcision of women (the Hadith of the female circumcisor) describes a discussion between Muhammad and Umm Habibah (or Umm &#8216;Atiyyah). This woman was known among the female slaves as the circumcisor and belonged to the women who immigrated with Muhammad. After he had discovered her, he asked her if she still practiced her profession. She confirmed and added: &#8220;Under the condition that it isn&#8217;t forbidden an that you don&#8217;t command me to cease from doing so.&#8221; Muhammad answered her: &#8220;But yes, it is allowed. Come closer so that I can instruct you: When you cut, don&#8217;t overdo it (la tanhaki), for it will make the face more radiant (ashraq) and it is more pleasant (ahza) for the husband.&#8221; According to other traditions, Muhammad said: &#8220;Cut lightly and don&#8217;t carry it too far (ashimmi wa-la tanhaki), for it is more comfortable (ahza) for the woman and better (ahab, according to sources abha) for the man.&#8221; (Another translation: &#8220;Take a little away, but do not destroy it. It is better for the woman and preferred by the man.&#8221; &#8220;Circumcision is a Sunnah for the men and Makrumah for the women.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The prophet, with his life, his actions and his sayings is for all time the absolute, unquestionable and even uncriticizable standard for all Muslims. And even the official schools of law of Sunni Islam are so oriented:</p>
<blockquote><p>None of the four Sunni schools of law (Madhhab) explicitly speak out against circumcision of girls, for it is mentioned in the traditions. The Shafiites consider it even to be a religious duty. In the countries of the Near East and East Africa where the Shafiite schools of law dominate it is therefore generally disseminated. Also according to one Hanbalite position handed down, circumcision of girls is required. The Malikites see the circumcision of girls as a tradition from the prophet (sunna) and accordingly as an action to be recommended. The Hanafites, as also some Hanbalites, consider it simply to be honorable (makruma).</p></blockquote>
<p>The motive for this gruesome measure is explained by the <a href="http://www.desertflowerfoundation.org/de/was-ist-fgm" target=_blank>&#8220;Desert Foundation&#8221;</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a destructive intervention in which the female sexual members are partly or totally removed or injured. The sexual desire of the woman is to be prevented by this measure. The mutilation takes place mostly before puberty, often among girls between four and eight years old; meanwhile, it has also increased among babies who are only days, weeks or months old.</p></blockquote>
<p>Circumcision appears above all in Islam countries, as this world map strikingly demonstrates:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2010/12/beschn_welt.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The number of circumcised women worldwide and of those who are furthermore subjected to this monstrous procedure annually is horrendous:</p>
<blockquote><p>According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 150 million women are affected worldwide, three million more girls become victims of mutilation annually. 500,000 multilated girls and women or those under threat of FGM now live in Europe.</p></blockquote>
<p>Apparently laws against circumcision have been passed in many countries purely as a formality, for hardly a conviction has been found. <a href="http://warisdirie.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/verbreitung-fgm-plus-gesetze.pdf" target=_blank>Revealing numbers</a> have been published by the Waris Dirie Foundation, who has estimated the percentage of circumcised women in relevant countries. Following are a few examples:</p>
<blockquote><p>Indonesia 100%, Somalia 98%, Jibouti 98%, Egypt 97%, Mali 91-97%, Eritrea 89-97%, Sudan 90%, Mauritania 70%.</p></blockquote>
<p>By means of circumcision, the woman is supposed to lose sexual desire – so that even more power over her can be attained to cement her role as a birthing machine and to prevent the danger of infidelity. What that, besides the gruesome procedure itself and the deviant moral ideal, means for the health of the pitiful girls – not to mention the mental consequences – can also be looked up on <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beschneidung_weiblicher_Genitalien" target=_blank>Wikipedia</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Acute complications can as a rule be traced back to inadequate hygenic and technical conditions. And thus, great loss of blood (hemorrage) can occur that, if not arrested, can lead to shock. Because of germs it can lead to infections, a poor wound suiture can cause the formation of scars. Further possible problems that can manifest themselves immediately after the intervention are sepsis, stenoses such as the develpment of fistulas or cysts. These emerging problems within the framework of the operation or otherwise as a direct consequence are not specific to the circumcision of female genitalia, rather they can emerge after any surgical intervention under inadequate medical conditions. In Africa especially, a clinical operating environment is however seldom available so that here complications often arise that lead to death. Furthermore, operation-specific complications, such as urinary tract infections and disruptions in emptying the bladder (dysuria), can appear.</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://www.pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2010/12/messer_kind.jpg" alt="" height=180 vspace=5/>When one takes a good hard look at under what kinds of hair-raising hygenic conditions and with what kinds of tools this deviant tradition is often carried out, only then does the monstrousity become clear. The Ministry of Health with its head, Dr. Philipp R&#246;sler would be happy to receive mail in connection with this subject: <a href="mailto:info@bmg.bund.de">info@bmg.bund.de</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.pi-news.org/2010/12/demo-for-gilad-shalit-on-december-10th-in-berlin/"><img alt="" src="http://www.pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2010/11/gilads.jpg" class="alignnone" width="440" height="214" /></a>On June 25, 2006, the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit (photo) was kidnapped by Hamas. It is assumed that he has since been brought to an unknown location in the Gaza Strip to be held prisoner. All attempts by the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit Gilad Shalit have been rejected by Hamas. The reason stated was that said visit would expose the place where Gilad Shalit is being held. </p>
<p><em>(Press communication by the <a href="http://www.intjewishlawyers.org/" target=_blank>IAJLJ</a>)</em><span id="more-4001"></span></p>
<p>With this refusal, Gilad Shalit&#8217;s human rights have been trampled underfoot. It also represents an offense against the International Human Rights Declaration and the Geneva Convention.</p>
<p>The Red Cross, whose main duty is the protection of human rights, communicates that it wasn&#8217;t in the position to meet with Gilad Shalit. Even so, this organization hasn&#8217;t considered it necessary – although more than four years have passed in the meantime – to raise an outcry  or to condemn Hamas openely for its actions.</p>
<p>The shameful weakness of the Red Cross in this affair is ignoble, particularly when it maintains a delegation in the Gaza Strip that has been in contact with Hamas throughout regarding other subjects relevant to human rights.</p>
<p>On June 1, 2010, our Israeli parent organization, the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists formally requested of the Red Cross yet again to try making contact with Gilad Shalit. On June 4, 2010, the Red Cross declared that all of its efforts had been unsuccessful, and that it tries on a regular basis to meet with Hamas regarding this issue.</p>
<p>On the basis of this untenable situation, our association has decided to become publicly active: On December 10, 2010, the International Day of Human Rights, the day on which the International Human Rights Declaration was signed in 1948, the IAJLJ has, with support of our friends and supporters and in collaboration with other organizations worldwide, demonstrated before the national chapters of the Red Cross in order to demand that the Red Cross finally denounce and condemn Hamas.</p>
<p>Video taken at the demonstration (Source: <a href="http://haolam.de/?site=artikeldetail&#038;id=3815" target=_blank>haOlam.de</a>):</p>

<hr />
<p><font size="1">The IAJLJ was founded in 1989. Among its founding members are such peronalities as Haim Cohn, judge on the Israeli Supreme Court; Arthur Goldberg, judge on the United States Supreme Court; and the French Nobel Prize recipient, René Cassin. The IAJLJ is made up of jurists from all areas and fields of law. Any jurist that identifies with the objectives of the IAJLJ can become a regular member. The German branch was founded in May 2007 in Berlin. The IAJLJ engages worldwide in the promotion of human rights, the prosecution and prevention of war criminals, the ban of weapons of mass destruction, as well as the compliance with and implementation of international agreements. The IAJLJ especially steps in for the rights of Jews worldwide and battles against racism, hostillity to foreigners, antisemitism, denial of the Holocaust, as well as powers that reject Israel&#8217;s right to existence. The IAJLJ is a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Category II with the United Nations. This enables the IAJLJ to participate in consultation with various UN organizations. By means of this, the representatives of the IAJLJ among others was actively included in work on the Human Rights Commission in Geneva.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.pi-news.org/2010/10/austrias-greens-against-equality/"><img alt="" src="http://www.pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2010/10/wienwahlplakat800.jpg" class="alignnone"  height="200" vspace="5"/></a>In Vienna, I discovered a few days ago a poster from the Greens with which electioneering was being carried out in an unfair way. In the foreground, the Green candidate, <a href="http://wien.gruene.at/mariavassilakou" target=_blank>Maria Vassilakou</a> is seen as well as the slogan “Without compromise against direct incitement.” There is nothing within the slogan itself that should cause debate, much the opposite, such a statement is worthy of praise. However, when one looks at the <a href="http://www.pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2010/10/wienwahlplakat800.jpg" target=_blank>poster as a whole</a>, a lightl and not too sharp image of a woman wearing a headcloth appears. The woman is smiling and appears to be completely happy with her headcloth.</p>
<p><em>(From Zwiebelsuppe / <a href="http://www.pi-news.net/2010/10/oesterreichs-gruene-gegen-gleichberechtigung/" target=_blank>Translation</a>: Anders Denken)</em><span id="more-3834"></span></p>
<p>And so, now the expression “Without compromise against direct incitement” appears, of course, in a totally different light – for here “definite incitement” is made equivalent with criticism against the wearing of headclothes by Islamic women. The juxtaposition of “direct incitement” with criticism of unequal treatment of man and woman – which is what the headcloth stands for in Islamic culture – is, of course, pure insolence. What a nasty method for catching votes from uninformed citizens at the cost of disadvantaged women.</p>
<p>Or to put it in the words of the interim party head or the B&#252;ndnis 90/Die Gr&#252;nen (Alliance 90/The Greens) party, Ekin Delig&#246;z:</p>
<blockquote><p>“The headcloth is a symbol of oppression of women. Those who require of women that they wear headclothes turn them into a sexual object that needs to be covered up.”</p></blockquote>
<p>P.S.: The Austrian Greens suffered a loss of two percentage points in the October 10 Vienna election for the regional parliament…</p>

<p>Aside from the numerous international guests, Marc Doll (co-founder of the &#8220;Freedom&#8221; party) among others, and the journalist and expert for Islamic countries, Michael Mannheimer, will be speaking. The Austrian diplomat and BPE delegate Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff at the time stands under accusation of &#8220;sedition,&#8221; similar to Geert Wilders, because she has made truthful statements regarding Islam. She is in need of all of our solidarity and will report at the demonstration about the current situation with regards to &#8220;free expression of opinion&#8221; within the political context.</p>

Ariyawathie describes her previous employers as &#8220;devils without a spark of compassion.&#8221;</p>
<p>Abuses in the Daily Routine</p>
<p>Human rights organizations have already protested numerous times against the exploitation and abuse of household employees in Saudi Arabia.

<p>Of course, these misanthropic laws of the &#8220;Islamic Kingdom&#8221; have nothing to do with Islam</p>

Thus, around 100 village inhabitants rendered homage to Sharia with the public celebration of the <a href="http://www.news25.de/news.php?id=8653&#038;title=Afghanisches+Paar+zu+Tode+gesteinigt&#038;storyid=1281941821792" target=_blank>stoning of the couple</a>. The sentence of death was handed down by the moderate Taliban who control the village Mullah Quli and also took part in the execution.<span id="more-3070"></span></p>
<p>According to the laws of Sharia, public beating is normal for extramarital sex, and the death penalty also for extramarital affairs, all the best in the name of Allah.</p>
<p>The BBC meanwhile has even concluded that the Taliban intended by the murder of <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/8909049.stm" target=_blank>women, children and foreigners</a>, especially Dhimmis, to help the local population. But all of this can be explained with war and the cultural singularity of the Taliban, not necessarily with problems in Islam.</p>

He has three wives, soon to be four, and the self-appointed human rights people say nothing about it. Isn&#8217;t that true, Madame Roth?<span id="more-3010"></span></p>
<p><em>Die WELT</em> <a href="http://www.pi-news.net/2010/08/tuerkei-polygamer-regierungsberater/" target=_blank>reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Turkey has found itself for weeks in a political-religious soap opera whose setting is the government quarter in Ankara. This and the three apartments of the three wives of Ali Y&#252;ksel, his sign of government advisor and self-appointed &#8220;sheikh ul-Islam,&#8221; or as an authority in things religious. &#8220;It would break my heart, I love him so much,&#8221; his wife Dilber following protocol admitted when book author Fehmi Calmuk asked her how she would feel if her husband would take a fourth wife. He already has three. For, as Y&#252;ksel very openly says, Islam allows up to four wives if the man can take care of them and treat them all the same.</p>
<p>&#8220;The same,&#8221; of course can also mean &#8220;with the same degree of badness,&#8221; and Y&#252;ksel was quoted with the words in the newspaper &#8220;Radikal&#8221; as not having asked permission from his present wives before marrying yet again, for &#8220;they would have left me.&#8221; But, thank goodness, it isn&#8217;t required by the commands of Islam to ask the wives.</p></blockquote>
<p>How wise Islam really is!</p>
<blockquote><p>According to information from his first wife Dilber who met him at the age of eleven years and, according to her statements, immediately saw the man of her life, Y&#252;ksel is a good husband. He shares his time equally with all three wives, &#8220;sleeps each night with a different one of us, and never twice in a row, and he never leaves any night out.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Ah, that&#8217;s why Madame Roth is silent. Because Y&#252;ksel is so good, and his wife are apparently happy.</p>
<blockquote><p>It makes just as much sense that he indeed should be an advisor for somebody. He belongs to the fundamentalist organization Milli G&#246;r&#252;s, whose European division he heads. It is this same organization that at the end of May set a violent &#8220;Aid Convoy&#8221; on the way to Gaza that resulted in the death of nine activists. It is an organization that in the statements of its own agents is endeavoring to set up a &#8220;Great Turkey&#8221; as the center of an Islamic world, and whose opinion is that Israel can only be wrestled down with violence.</p>
<p>As touching the image of wives &#8212; a lot can be brought into the picture. For example, the child marriage of President G&#252;l who married his wife when she was only 15. Or a few years ago, the handbook of an AKP mayoral office containing suggestions for matrimony in which there was a good tip that men should, if at all possible, marry women who were of a lower social status than they.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Erdogan doesn&#8217;t tire of praising women when they are mothers. There are fewer and fewer women, however, in state service since the AKP has been governing. This conclusion was made, however, by a non-governing organization named &#8220;Iris&#8221; in the year 2007. The development is probably a symptom of the fact that the AKP allows its own followers above all in the administration, and they are consistently of Muslim persuasion and see the place of the woman as at home with the family.</p></blockquote>
<p>However, that doesn&#8217;t disturb our female legislators. As long as the little woman before the stove wears a Muslim veil, the whole world is in order for her.</p>

White girls in Great Britain targeted by &#8220;Asian&#8221; (politically correct for &#8216;Muslim&#8217;) bands of pimps for prostitution. White girls to them are generally whores. The 14-year-old was a private school pupil. She was pumped full of vodka and drugs by a certain Assad Hassan and his mates Mohammad Basharat and Mohammed Atif so that she would become compliant before all three men fell upon her.<span id="more-2963"></span></p>
<p>The police officer who investigated the case opined:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8216;The level of abuse she has suffered is almost beyond belief. She has been treated like a commodity &#8211; beaten, threatened and sexually exploited.&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>The girls who are raped feel ashamed and are forced into a dependency untill they are trained to be submissive sex slaves.</p>
<p>These are the men presented in the <em>Daily Mail</em> as &#8220;predators,&#8221; who have already been sentenced for enslaving girls:</p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://www.pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2010/08/Raubtiere.jpg#ixzz0wnq50V7z" class="alignnone" width="440"  /></p>
<p>Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with Islam and its attitude toward women.</p>
