For some time now, you have been able to Flattr PI articles: OK, how does it work?

I register with Flattr, load my credit with Paypal and then I can determine how much money I want to give other Flattr users per month (two euros is standard). Therefore, when I surf on the Web and read interesting and Flattr-worthy things, I can click on the Flattr button ‘Like’. Sometimes I do that with just one article in the month, sometimes 100, just depends on how much praiseworthy stuff I find. At the end of the month, my monthly amount gets divided among my clicks so that a blogger in the first case receives 2 euros, and in the second case each of the 100 bloggers receive 2 cents.

You can find the Flattr button at the end of every article on PI.

So, following the style of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the election victory of Berlusconi and his coalition can also be expressed with: “Berlusconi’s Center-Right Camp Escapes the Election Debacle“. In a somewhat more serious tone, however, Die ZEIT attempts to give air to their worries: Surprise Success for Berlusconi:

The Central-Right camp of the Italian government boss, Silvio Berlusconi, has posted surprising gains after stable projections. The conservative ruling coalition relieved the Left of both southern regions Calabria and Campagna.

In Piemont and Latium the Center-Right camp turned up in an uncatchable lead in a long head-to-head run late Monday evening. “These results strengthen the government,” Defense Minister Ignazio La Russa rejoiced: “Berlusconi has shown that he always wins when a referendum is put for or against him.”

Because of this, a “France Effect” remained notably absent: The opposition from the Left had hoped that they could inflict painful and clear-cut losses against the conservative side similar to what happened in the local elections of the neighboring country. According to evaluations by observers, regional problems were deciding factors for many voters, like in Campagna with its garbage problems.

In Italy, 13 of the 20 regions held elections. Eleven of these regions had been in the hand of the Left since 2005, two are governed by Berlusconi’s camp. The local elections on Sunday and Monday were marked with a lower voter participation. Only around two out of three voters went to the booth, just under eight percent less than 2005. Berlusconi had elevated the elections to a national test for his government three years before the next parliamentary election.

The Left had hoped for a turnaround and had laid everything on Berlusconi’s affairs, slip-ups and corruption trials causing a setback for the Cavaliere. Above all, Berlusconi’s Party “People of Freedom” (PdL) was supposed to suffer from weak voter turnout, according the last polls. According to the statements from the Ministry of the Interior in Rome, only 63.6 percent of the just under 41 million registered voters cast their votes. In Italy, there is usually a high voter turnouty.

Over 63 percent voter participation — for years, one has been only able to dream about such a turnout in Germany’s local elections. And again a people in Europe has voted other than what the German press deemed acceptable. That is what one would call a discrepancy between public opinion and published opinion. One has to wonder if some embittered leftwing journalist isn’t wishing for a return to the times of the German Democratic Republic, since there was a certain preselection of voter possibilities made available in democratic elections so as to avoid erroneous decisions. We German conservatives, however, want to say thank you dear European neighbors, Dutch, Swiss, Italians, that you haven’t left us alone with these leftwing people!

During the slaughter of Badr, the self-proclaimed prophet gave his followers the promise that “each one of them that would be slain in the battle would enter into Paradise according to Allah’s will. One of his warriors, Umayr bin al-Human, cried out, “So there is nothing that stands in the way between me and my entrance into Paradise, except for my death by these men?” Right then he was eating a couple of dates, threw them aside, rushed into battle and fought until he was killed. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to address Elfiky about this story because we were gracefully passed up on the discussion.

I had the opportunity, though, to catch Elfiky in a lie. After all, he asserted most earnestly that the self-proclaimed prophet had gotten along well with Jews. I then pointed out that he must have had an especially good understanding with the 600 – 800 imprisoned Jews that he beheaded partly by his own hand in Yathrib. We Jews were the first victims of the Muhammedins, and to this day we are still being persecuted by them. Look at the pictures of the Hezbollah warriors for yourself at how they salute each other with the Hitler greeting. Take a gander at the sales numbers for “Mein Kampf” in Arab countries, especially in Turkey up to 2005. Read the Hamas Charter through, where the prophet Muhammad is cited as saying:

The Last Judgment will not come so long as the Muslims do not fight and kill the Jews. But then, the Jews will hide themselves behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will call out: ‘Oh Muslim, there is a Jew hidden behind me, come and kill him.’ (Article 7)

In regards to this, I am very happy with the affinity that PI has with Israel. Eckhardt Kiwitt believes that Islam is no religion, but much rather a “political ideology similar to national socialism (Nazism).” By virtue of this, he finds himself in good company. The French philosopher Michel Onfray comes to the conclusion in his book “Traité d’athéologie” (“Treatise on the study of atheism” not in English yet, or the German title “We need no God“) that the epoch of fascism in the 20th century had the greatest variety of colors. There was the brown, the red and the black fascism. They all drowned in the current; only one has saved itself in the 21st century, and there is no end in sight for it: the well-anchored green fascism of the self-proclaimed prophet following the Ayatollah Khomeini’s seizure of power in Iran. And these fascists believe on the word of their god Allah that has been unalterably stated for for all time in the Quran. This god points out the Jews many times as “apes and pigs” (Sura 2, verse 65 / Sura 5, verse 60 / Sura 7, verse 166).

Mr. Boie, it doesn’t matter if you are a Christian, an atheist, or any other “infidel,” you will by no means escape the tirades of hate by this vengeful god. For Allah was apparently pretty sour about the fact that most of those on the Arab peninsula who believed otherwise viewed the new philosophy of his prophet as deception and counterfeit. The same is true today. It is about these facts that you, we, and those of other faiths in the Western world must debate. To look away, to trivialize and whitewash them over is exceedingly dangerous, if not to say careless and irresponsible. Read the Quran; you will comprehend what kind of monstrous danger we are being exposed to.

As to the comment area on PI, I partly agree with you. Some comments truly are hostile to foreigners and end up deleted anyway. You must not forget that there are many enemies of PI that, like unseen “submarines,” put together comments and even create screenshots so that they can use them to blackball PI. For me personally, hostility to foreigners is most profoundly strange. I believe I have more foreign friends than native. But also among my conservative compatriots – I am rather to be classified in the left spectrum – they can’t produce hostility to foreigners. For us, it has to do with an the ideology against which we are battling using all the legal means available to us.

Like Henryk M. Broder, it makes us want to throw up when we must sit in the same room with NPD individuals as well. Willi Schwend, from the BPE committee, made that unmistakably clear in our last meeting at the guild house. We have no room for right-wing or left-wing radicals. The NPD, by the way, is right friendly with Muhammadins, at least when it has to do with Israel. That should cause you to think a little. In my view, converts to Islam are the worst kind anyway. That is where terrorism has been preprogrammed, as we see in Germany with the “Sauerland terrorists,” and very recently in America with “Jihad Jane.” Deep down inside, the one who converts to Islam is a Nazi.

Our Munich PI group is presently one of the most active in Germany. We see ourselves as forerunners and wish to animate all the others to follow our example. I am always glad for each commentator who says “People, this is how we also do it.” At one time, Munich was the capital for a very unhealthy movement, however, this time it will be the capital for the countermovement against green Nazism. April 8, 2010 is just about here, and we are inviting all to the guild house to a presentation by Michael Mannheimer about “Eurabia, the Islamization of Europe.” You, of course, are also cordially invited to this event, and naturally for the sake of SZ’s press coverage, but please stick to the truth. Otherwise you will be argumentatively dissected, that’s something I can guarantee you.

With friendly greetings,

» PI: “Anti-Islamic Battle Troops”

(Article for German PI translated by Anders Denken)

A survey of the federal statistics authority in 2005, published June 2006, nearly doubled the 8 million number, to 15.3 million. The survey did not included religious affiliation. Thus the estimated absolute number of Muslims stayed the same. This implied halving the estimated percentage from 40 percent to 20 percent. This seems unrealistic, as immigration of Muslims never was lower than 40%, and their birthrate surely isn’t lower than that of non-Muslim immigrants. Therefore, Raddatz uses the 40 percent to estimate an absolute number of about 6 million Muslims in Germany. Yet even this number, although based on logic, is also unverified. The only thing we definitely know about the number of Muslims in Germany is that we don’t know it. Given the federal surveys lack of interest in the number of immigrant Muslims, analysis of the costs of Muslim immigration is very difficult.

How did this happen? In the 1950s the Federal Republic of Germany started to hire foreign workers, the so called Gastarbeiter or guest workers. First they came from Southern European countries such as Italy. From the early 1960s on this recruitment was expanded to Muslim countries, especially Turkey, and also to North African countries. Turkey faced a rapidly growing, poorly educated rural class, whom the Government there wanted to export. The majority of Turkish guest workers immigrated at a time when there was no more labour shortage in Germany. In fact, unemployment slowly increased.

Nevertheless, there is a growing myth circulating that Turks built up post-war Germany, but most Turks only came became Germany’s economy was already booming. The myths even imply that Turks brought development and culture to our country; for example, water toilets. Perhaps there is some classical Islamic mythologizing here, involving disdain for pre-or non-Islamic cultures or their technological achievements, and even to deny their very existence.

As the result of a massive German family reunion program — frequently directed into the German welfare system — a large Turkish community was rapidly established. In contrast to immigrants from Europe, its members withdrew into insular, parallel societies, especially in the big cities.

Additionally, there were refugees from troubled areas. While Turks make up the large majority of Muslims in Germany, substantial groups include Palestinians, often from Lebanon, and Muslims from former Yugoslavia. In summer 2006, the Federal Government announced, that some 3.000 German citizens with a Lebanese background were to be evacuated from Lebanon. The German embassy in Beirut only knew about 1.000 German citizens. Finally we accepted 6.000 refugees from Lebanon. The Government didn’t want to be too particular about passport controls for humanitarian reasons. How many of them were Hezbollah members, of course, is unknown. Once again, we find that official estimates about how many Muslims are in our country, to say nothing of important details, cannot be relied upon.

The problems caused by Muslim immigrants in Germany are the same as elsewhere. Perhaps at least in the beginning they might have been milder, as immigrants from Turkey had experience in a secular political system, compared to immigrants from more traditional Islamic countries. On the other hand kemalistic Turks cling to a very distinct nationalism, so that it is frequently difficult to separate nationalist Turkish demands from Islamic ones.

A few months ago the German parliament passed a new immigration law. It was not at all effective, but it least implied that people immigrating on behalf of family reunion laws — which mostly means young imported wives — have to be at least 18 years old and to know some 200 words of German. Not only Turkish and Islamic organizations in Germany protested and urged the Federal President, not to sign the law, but even Ankara tried to intervene.

In Germany there are currently 159 mosques, identifiable with cupola and minaret, 184 are being built. Additionally, there are some 2.600 less official-looking Muslim prayer houses. Many of them were or are being built by DITIB, a subsidiary organization of the Turkish government authority for religion, Diyanet. Diayenet also sends imams, who most often don’t speak German and are replaced on a regular basis. Thus Islamization in Germany is not only a question of an ideology but consists increasingly of an intervention of a foreign State — Turkey — in national sovereignty. During the world soccer championship in 2006, Germany’s biggest tabloid, BILD, published photos of young migrants waving a German flag with a Turkish white crescent in its red part. This was not criticized but praised as an example of successful integration. As in other countries, our media praises multiculturalism, whitewashes Islamist excesses, and demonizes critics of Islam as racists or at least blockheads.

Things used to be better. The first generation Muslim immigrants were more integrated than today’s third generation. Today, many Muslim children don’t speak any German when they start school. Immigrant youth often speak a strikingly rudimentary, grammatically simplified and generally incorrect German language, one that has even caught the attention of linguists. Poorly educated native German youths in Muslim quarters increasingly adopt this language maybe to avoid being seen as outsiders. Speaking such a language of course minimizes their chance for work.

Early in 2006 teachers of the Berlin Rütli school wrote a desperate open letter to the school authority, admitting that they had given up hope to cope with the increasing violence, especially by Arab youths, of whom even the slightly less violent Turkish youths are afraid, let alone German and other non-Islamic kids. They also complained that the migrants don’t show any interest in studying or attending school at all, and that parents just don’t care or even insult teachers. Especially female teachers were afraid of their students and didn’t enter classroom without a cellphone, in order to be able to call for help. This caused some public debate for a while, yet proposals tended to blame society alone for the problem. The “solution” then was hire Islamic social workers in schools, since infidel social workers would not be respected by Muslim kids. Another “solution” was to improve cooperation with imams.

Meanwhile, the police force in Germany’s biggest state, Nordrhein-Westfalen, is proceeding to reserve jobs for Muslims, whom they recruit in mosques. The establishment of exclusive Muslim police units is also debated, for better cooperation between the police and Muslim communities. When we define as an unreasonable demand that Muslims accept infidel police officers, we are starting to separate society into Islamic and non-Islamic enclaves.

But I think these are things that all of you know in your own countries. Therefore, I want to go into a subject which we thought was a German problem only, yet now seems more widespread, if not of equal intensity. This is the tactic of the promoters and defenders of Islamization, to conflate, what we might call, to deliberately mix up, critics of Islam and Nazis. You all surely know the accusations such as “racism,” “fascism, or “Nazism” usually are hurled at people who criticize Islam or even question the Islamization of Europe or the Eurabia concept. This is done by politicians, the media, clerics, academia and ordinary people, as well.

As Nazism is our own past, this is perhaps worse in Germany than elsewhere and surely it is more hurtful and intimidating. Sometimes this hysteria to see Nazis anywhere — except where their modern counterparts really are – is just grotesque. But for many people — critics of Islams not excluded — this doesn’t come only from outside but from inside as well, as it is rooted in modern Germans: a mixture of guilt, shame and a fear that one might possibly mutate into a Nazi without noticing it. This undermines the unity of the critics of Islam, causing us to distance ourselves from other people or groups, sometimes perhaps with good reason, yet probably most often, without.

Prospects, that a political party critical of Islamization and mass immigration of Muslims can be established in Germany or that the big conservative party, Chancellor Merkel’s Christian Democrats, could develop in this direction, are poor. This is in part due to our national socialist past and the resulting fear of anything that could be considered xenophobic or nationalist or not sufficiently tolerant. It might as well result from a relatively widespread favorable opinion concerning the European Union. It also is conceivable that German fears of and dislike for any kind of nationalism influences the European Union.

In any case, there are some real neo-Nazis. There is a tiny political party, whose agenda is revisionist and decisively anti-Israeli and anti-American and therefore pro- Ahmadinejad. Yet it is opposed to immigration (not only Muslim) and Mosque-building. The leaders of this party would perhaps like to cooperate with Islamist organizations, and partly do so, but their ordinary members oppose it. Working with this party is out of the question for any reasonable and decent person. Its numbers and impact are both negligible, but the public is sensitive to its existence. Any of their positions which overlap with others undermines the others to the public.

The “Nazi” smears come partly from cynics who seek to silence any critic of their multicultural and pro-Islamic dogma, as well as from some who are sincere about it. Therefore, it makes sense to speak the truth, especially about the historical connections between Nazism and some Islamic authorities, as well as about their ideological similarity and compatibility, especially those concerning the hostility towards Israel and America – or put another way, Jews and devout Christians.

There are some 100.000 Jews living in Germany, most of them immigrants from the former Soviet Union and they are increasingly harassed, especially in public schools. This is horrific, appalling and sad. The harassments originate mainly from Islamic immigrants, but to be honest not only from them. Unfortunately, there is still some original anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism found within the native German population, though most often it is not open aggressive but rather, latent. People really do not want to be Nazis, but unfortunately many have strange ideas about what a Nazi is really like. Information about these dark times, as told by leftists, is especially peculiar. It masks the socialist parts, overestimating the conservative parts, and treats anti-Semitism simply as some kind of xenophobia where Jews just were random victims as they were available, and could easily be replaced today by any other group — such as Muslims. Those Muslims who do not deny the Holocaust — and most Turkish Muslims don’t – find this an easy-to-accept version of history. I think it is essential to never take for granted that the truth needs continuing affirmation. My co-authors and I on Politically Incorrect do so, regularly.

Many people feel a diffuse aversion towards some aspects of Islam, like the oppression of Muslim women, high crime rates, and dependence on welfare because of deliberate lack of education. There are a few prominent figures who speak out against Islamization, but none of them is a politician. There is former Federal President Roman Herzog, a former constitutional judge, who sharply criticized the antidemocratic European Union, but he was widely ignored. Most Germans support the European Union as a garantor of peace in Europe, and perhaps as a way to give up an embarrassing nationality, trading changing German for European. There is hardly any knowledge among Germans about its antidemocratic and Eurabian aspects, so they tend to consider information about it as some odd conspiracy theory. To sum it up, there is only very little resistance against Islamization in Germany.

Therefore, the work that all of you doing to speak the truth is crucial to saving our societies. So, I want to take this opportunity to thank Ms Bat Ye’Or for her precious and great work on the subject. Unfortunately her important book Eurabia is still not available in German. I want to thank all the authors attending the conference for providing us with priceless information and knowledge, which is really helpful to Politically Incorrect and our efforts to inform honestly and to constitute some kind of counterbalance to the biased media.
