I first have great news. Last Wednesday city council elections were held in the Netherlands. And for the first time my party, the Freedom Party, took part in these local elections. We participated in two cities. In Almere, one of the largest Dutch cities. And in The Hague, the third largest city; home of the government, the parliament and the queen. And, we did great! In one fell swoop my party became the largest party in Almere and the second largest party in The Hague. Great news for the Freedom Party and even better news for the people of these two beautiful cities.

And I have more good news. Two weeks ago the Dutch government collapsed. In June we will have parliamentary elections. And the future for the Freedom Party looks great. According to some polls we will become the largest party in the Netherlands. I want to be modest, but who knows, I might even be Prime Minister in a few months time!

Ladies and gentlemen, not far from here stands a statue of the greatest Prime Minister your country ever had. And I would like to quote him here today: “Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. No stronger retrograde force exists in the World. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step (…) the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” These words are from none other than Winston Churchill wrote this in his book ‘The River War’ from 1899.

Churchill was right.

Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t have a problem and my party does not have a problem with Muslims as such. There are many moderate Muslims. The majority of Muslims are law-abiding citizens and want to live a peaceful life as you and I do. I know that. That is why I always make a clear distinction between the people, the Muslims, and the ideology, between Islam and Muslims. There are many moderate Muslims, but there is no such thing as a moderate Islam.

Islam strives for world domination. The Quran commands Muslims to exercise jihad. The Quran commands Muslims to establish shariah law. The Quran commands Muslims to impose Islam on the entire world.

As former Turkish Prime Minister Erbakan said: “The whole of Europe will become Islamic. We will conquer Rome”. End of quote.

Libyan dictator Gaddafi said: “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. Indeed, for once in his life, Gaddafi was telling the truth. Because, remember: mass immigration and demographics is destiny!

Islam is merely not a religion, it is mainly a totalitarian ideology. Islam wants to dominate all aspects of life, from the cradle to the grave. Shariah law is a law that controls every detail of life in a Islamic society. From civic- and family law to criminal law. It determines how one should eat, dress and even use the toilet. Oppression of women is good, drinking alcohol is bad.

I believe that Islam is not compatible with our Western way of life. Islam is a threat to Western values. The equality of men and women, the equality of homosexuals and heterosexuals, the separation of church and state, freedom of speech, they are all under pressure because of islamization. Ladies and gentlemen: Islam and freedom, Islam and democracy are not compatible. It are opposite values.

No wonder that Winston Churchill called Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ “the new Quran of faith and war, turgid, verbose, shapeless, bur pregnant with its message”. As you know, Churchill made this comparison, between the Koran and Mein Kampf, in his book ‘The Second World War’, a master piece, for which, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Churchill’s comparison of the Quran and ‘Mein Kampf’ is absolutely spot on. The core of the Quran is the call to jihad. Jihad means a lot of things and is Arabic for battle. Kampf is German for battle. Jihad and kampf mean exactly the same.

Islam means submission, there cannot be any mistake about its goal. That’s a given. The question is whether we in Europe and you in Britain, with your glorious past, will submit or stand firm for your heritage.

We see Islam taking off in the West at an incredible pace. Europe is Islamizing rapidly. A lot of European cities have enormous Islamic concentrations. Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Berlin are just a few examples. In some parts of these cities, Islamic regulations are already being enforced. Women’s rights are being destroyed. Burqa’s, headscarves, polygamy, female genital mutilation, honour-killings. Women have to go to separate swimming-classes, don’t get a handshake. In many European cities there is already apartheid. Jews, in an increasing number, are leaving Europe.

As you undoubtedly all know, better then I do, also in your country the mass immigration and islamization has rapidly increased. This has put an enormous pressure on your British society. Look what is happening in for example Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford and here in London. British politicians who have forgotten about Winston Churchill have now taken the path of least resistance. They have given up. They have given in.

Last year, my party has requested the Dutch government to make a cost-benefit analysis of the mass immigration. But the government refused to give us an answer. Why? Because it is afraid of the truth. The signs are not good. A Dutch weekly magazine – Elsevier – calculated costs to exceed 200 billion Euros. Last year alone, they came with an amount of 13 billion Euros. More calculations have been made in Europe: According to the Danish national bank, every Danish immigrant from an Islamic country is costing the Danish state more than 300 thousand Euros. You see the same in Norway and France. The conclusion that can be drawn from this: Europe is getting more impoverished by the day. More impoverished thanks to mass immigration. More impoverished thanks to demographics. And the leftists are thrilled.

I don’t know whether it is true, but in several British newspapers I read that Labour opened the door to mass immigration in a deliberate policy to change the social structures of the UK. Andrew Neather, a former government advisor and speech writer for Tony Blair and Jack Straw, said the aim of Labour’s immigration strategy was, and I quote, to “rub the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date”. If this is true, this is symptomatic of the Left.

Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake: The left is facilitating islamization. Leftists, liberals, are cheering for every new shariah bank being created, for every new shariah mortgage, for every new islamic school, for every new shariah court. Leftists 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.

Why I ask myself, why have the Leftists and liberals stopped to fight for them? Once the Leftists stood on the barricades for women’s rights. But where are they today? Where are they in 2010? They are looking the other way. Because they are addicted to cultural relativism and dependent on the Muslim vote. They are dependent on mass-immigration.

Thank heavens Jacqui Smith isn’t in office anymore. It was a victory for free speech that a UK judge brushed aside her decision to refuse me entry to your country last year. I hope that the judges in my home country are at least as wise and will acquit me of all charges, later this year in the Netherlands.

Unfortunately, so far they have not done so well. For they do not want to hear the truth about Islam, nor are they interested to hear the opinion of top class legal experts in the field of freedom of expression. Last month in a preliminary session the Court refused fifteen of the eighteen expert-witnesses I had requested to be summoned.

Only three expert witnesses are allowed to be heard. Fortunately, my dear friend and heroic American psychiatrist Dr. Wafa Sultan is one of them. But their testimony will be heard behind closed doors. Apparently the truth about Islam must not be told in public, the truth about Islam must remain secret.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m being prosecuted for my political beliefs. We know political prosecution to exist in countries in the Middle East, like Iran and Saudi-Arabia, but never in Europe, never in the Netherlands.

I’m being prosecuted for comparing the Quran to ‘Mein Kampf’. Ridiculous. I wonder if Britain will ever put the beliefs of Winston Churchill on trial… Ladies and gentlemen, the political trial that is held against me has to stop.

But it is not all about me, not about Geert Wilders. Free speech is under attack. Let me give you a few other examples. As you perhaps know, one of my heroes, the Italian author Oriana Fallaci had to live in fear of extradition to Switzerland because of her anti-Islam book ‘The Rage and the Pride’. The Dutch cartoonist Nekschot was arrested in his home in Amsterdam by 10 police men because of his anti-Islam drawings. Here in Britain, the American author Rachel Ehrenfeld was sued by a Saudi businessman for defamation. In the Netherlands Ayaan Hirsi Ali and in Australia two Christian pastors were sued. I could go on and on. Ladies and gentlemen, all throughout the West freedom loving people are facing this ongoing ‘legal jihad’. This is Islamic ‘lawfare’. And, ladies and gentlemen, not long ago the Danish cartoonist Westergaard was almost assassinated for his cartoons.

Ladies and gentlemen, we should defend the right to freedom of speech. With all our strength. With all our might. Free speech is the most important of our many liberties. Free speech is the cornerstone of our modern societies. Freedom of speech is the breath of our democracy, without freedom of speech our way of life our freedom will be gone.

I believe it is our obligation to preserve the inheritance of the brave young soldiers that stormed the beaches of Normandy. That liberated Europe from tyranny. These heroes cannot have died for nothing. It is our obligation to defend freedom of speech. As George Orwell said: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear”.

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe in another policy, it is time for change. We must make haste. We can’t wait any longer. Time is running out. If I may quote one of my favourite American presidents: Ronald Reagan once said: “We need to act today, to preserve tomorrow”. That is why I propose the following measures, I only mention a few, in order to preserve our freedom:

First, we will have to defend freedom of speech. It is the most important of our liberties. In Europe and certainly in the Netherlands, we need something like the American First Amendment.

Second, we will have to end and get rid of cultural relativism. To the cultural relativists, the shariah socialists, I proudly say: Our Western culture is far superior to the Islamic culture. Don’t be affraid to say it. You are not a racist when you say that our own culture is better.

Third, we will have to stop mass immigration from Islamic countries. Because more Islam means less freedom.

Fourth, we will have to expel criminal immigrants and, following denaturalisation, we will have to expel criminals with a dual nationality. And there are many of them in my country.

Fifth, we will have to forbid the construction of new mosques. There is enough Islam in Europe. Especially since Christians in Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia are mistreated, there should be a mosque building-stop in the West.

And last but not least, we will have to get rid of all those so-called leaders. I said it before: Fewer Chamberlains, more Churchills. Let’s elect real leaders.

Ladies and gentlemen. To the previous generation, that of my parents, the word ‘London’ is synonymous with hope and freedom. When my country was occupied by the national-socialists the BBC offered a daily glimpse of hope in my country, in the darkness of Nazi tyranny. Millions of my fellow country men listened to it, underground. The words ‘This is London’ were a symbol for a better world coming soon.

What will be broadcasted forty years from now? Will it still be “This is London”? Or will it be “This is Londonistan”? Will it bring us hope? Or will it signal the values of Mecca and Medina? Will Britain offer submission or perseverance? Freedom or slavery? The choice is yours. And in the Netherlands the choice is ours.

Ladies and gentlemen, we will never apologize for being free. We will and should never give in. And, indeed, as one of your former leaders said: We will never surrender.

Freedom must prevail, and freedom will prevail.

Thank you very much.

Blick writes:

The Federal Assembly has determined to determine no Burka ban. The foundation for this non-determination is as follows: First, there are at most 100 women who wear full-body covering; second, without their covering, these women would be “cloistered in their homes.”

As to point one: In the eyes of the Assembly, the legal setting is dependent upon the number of those affected by a law.

By this reasoning, laws don’t arise from a matter at hand, but rather from how frequently the matter occurs. Each year, Switzerland counts only 60 premeditated murders in accordance with Article 111 of the Criminal Law Book. Is this particular law necessary then?

As to point two: The Assembly goes on the premise that some Muslim women without their burkas will be closed up in their own homes, thereby robbing them of their freedom. And that Muslim men commit the offense of robbing them of freedom, if the Swiss law is not set up according to the will of their religious demands of ruling over their women.

The Assembly, however, is willing for them — and in hasty obedience have decided to do without a ban on burkas.

Robbery of freedom is an official offence. That means the state has to pursue infractions against the law officially, even without complainants. The same applies to marital rape. The Swiss State of Freedom and Justice also has laws that reach into the private sphere, and even the intimate sphere, that can affect relationships and family. Apparently they don’t apply to the Islamic oppression of women. These offenses are covered under the cloak of cultural tolerance. That means that the legal protection of the woman applies only to non-Muslim women.

Other countries — other customs — it is with this multi-culti claptrap that the Federal Assembly has switched off one of the most meaningful values of our free civilization: the equality of women. The customs of other countries can be lived out among us, contrary to justice and law!

Total body covering is the mobile prison for Islamic women, even when they aren’t locked up at home. As their husbands — their lords — understand it, these women belong to them, they are bondslaves.

Bondslavery in Switzerland, the Federal Assembly condones it.

Befitting their stupdity was an attempt with an obscure Bible passage that some editorial intern must have dredged up to cause Geert Wilders to stumble or stir him up enough to hop in the sack with the likes of BNP, Le Pen, or Jörg Haider. Whoever would be so hare-brained would most certainly not attain to becoming one of the most successful politicians in Europe, perhaps at best they might become a local German official.

So, what did journalist Emily Maitlis do wrong? Very simple: she violated one of the ground rules of modern journalism in the Battle against the Right. It is allowed to, no, it’s a requirement to spread lies about your political opponents. But one shouldn’t begin to believe those lies themselves. Otherwise, it might happen that, instead of a hollow-cheeked right-wing extremist, a well-educated and intelligent civil-minded liberal might appear and turn the guns on you. Or as it used to be said: “He who digs a pit for another will fall in it himself.” (or “What goes around, comes around.”

(From Marianne Brückl for German PI. Translation: Anders Denken)

Also, in Egypt there was a Coptic Christian killed again on February 9th. Rumors stirred up at the government side about alleged acts of violence by Christians have made the rounds. And the Western world is closing its eyes, exercising tolerance toward the Muslims, and seeking dialog with the wolves in sheep’s clothing. Nobody has the desire to see that intolerance against Christians everywhere is constantly increasing. Where help is needed, it is targeted for the Muslim immigrants; the persecuted Christians are overlooked. How far then will this Western principle of humanitarianism go?

Many German citizens only see their own problems in their own country. What plays out in other countries is filed under “happened far away, doesn’t affect me.” In this, they simply overlook that what is happening today in Islam-ruled countries is slowly being brought into the European world, and in the future it will generate more problems than they want to accept. The insidious Islamization of Germany is hardly being recognized.

Warning statements by Islam critics are being ignored as much as possible; the signs heralding the beginning of the Islamization of the Western world are being dismissed as “figments of imagination” by islamophobic alarmists. Demographic developments are played down and only get the reaction that the Muslims should be seen as a part of the European population, in spite of the serious differences between us. People themselves who have converted to Chrisitanity and express their experiences and fears, as well as the methods of torture used by their Muslim persecutors – even in their own family – are classified by the non-credible by the masses.

But the kind of peace we are dealing with here is being intentionally trivialized. Do-gooders with rosy glasses see everything in the same color, favor multi-culti insanity, and glorify the Muslim ideology.

The traffic light for Muslim integration has long since been on red, if it ever was yellow or green before.

The perilous virus of “Islam” that is being brought into the country as a serious flu and can multiply itself because of being diagnosed as a harmless cold shows its effects only when it’s too late. It is recognized as the sickness it truly is only when it is no longer possible to cure it. There is no more medication at all that can affect it because the virus has pushed itself into every cell.

Such is the case with the infiltration of the European body of thought by Islamic constructs, rites, and customs that have been played down on the side of the Church and State, and encouraged to the point that nobody knows or cares to know their effects. Their influence has been allowed for so long that there is now no more escaping them. One feels safe enough in Germany and the rest of Europe that the medicine has become watered down and ineffective anymore.

And all of those who would rather deal with their own problems must now recognize that it was their their own egotism speaking against the voices of warning.

Extremist masterminds like Ibrahim el-Zayad in the year 1996 (Islamic Youth Magazine TNT, Edition 1/96) recognized this German mentality, and with the use of sugar-coated rhetoric were able to penetrate like wolves in sheep’s clothing into the European world. Just as Odysseus followed the sirens in the Greek fable, so the Europeans are numbly following their slayers. The people appear to forget that Christians or atheists are lifetime infidels and will remain that way to the Muslims. Unless, of course, they convert to Islam and obey the rules of the Quran. And then which Muslim will still recognize Western culture and democracy, should the West finally be in the hand of the Islamic way of thought? It borders on naïveté or stupidity to believe that anyone who can recite the Quran by heart and can identify with the rules contained in it would ever be of a mind to subject themselves to a democracy. The goal to be achieved is the seizure of world power in the name of Allah. The signs have presented themselves clearly already, for everything immoral and evil that comes out of the Western world simply affirms the Muslim quest of achieving more and more influence in the “immoral” world.

Through the events that have become known lately in the “Institution” called the Catholic Church, as well as the fall of the Evangelical regional bishop Käßmann, fuel has simply been added to the already smoldering fire by our Islamic “faith brethren” to justify their behavior of yoking Europe step by step under the Islamic lifestyle.

That these same crimes happen in the Islamic world and are justified by their beliefs in spite of it holds absolutely no weight, namely such things as forced marriages of children and young girls, rape, mutilation, forced Islamization, and the murder of infidels. Only those few individuals, who not only see the constricted horizon of their home country but also have a view outward, are occupying themselves with these facts.

Every act of this kind is detestable and should be punished. But the greater part of the German population has its sights on only what happens inside German borders and gets worked up about only those things.

It is long overdue that every individual get involved in putting a stop to these crimes against humanity in the world regardless of what country or which cultural circle is involved, and not hand themselves over to advocates of a two-class religion, such as Islam.

Die WAZ writes:

The Brussels Industry and Trade Chamber (Beci) will issue certificates in the future for products and services that are in keeping with Islamic regulations. The certification is supposed to be instituted for certain grocery products, Beci Director Olivier Willocx announced on Thursday in the Belgian capital. Also Hotel rooms without porno channels and that have a Quran instead of a Bible will soon receive the seal of approval. The first product to receive the certificate was an alcohol-free sparkling wine made by a Belgian firm, according to Beci.

“It’s about removing the porno channels from the TV menu, taking the alcohol out of the mini bar, offering adequate provisions, and placing a Quran rather than a Bible in the room,” said Trade Chamber consultant Bruno Bernard. The “halal” certificate will be awarded only by strict methods and will cost 1,500 Euros. Products for devout Muslims are a a growing branch in the market.

The comments below the article give a hint of the discrepancy between public and published opinion, and that the people have simply had enough of Islam.

20 Minuten (20 Minutes) reports:

The outcome this past Sunday for both of the 17-year-olds, T.?K. and O.?Z.*, was bloody. They were looking for a bar in Zurich’s Niederdorf area when, at the Stüssihofstatt, they were met by a group of ten young men in leather jackets. “Suddenly I was kicked in the stomach,” O.?Z. tells. After that he was met with another kick to the head — he fell to the ground. His colleague T.?K. wanted to help him, “From that time on, I can’t remember anything until the thugs were gone,” said the KV student.

He and O.?Z. were attacked for several minutes. “They were constantly kicking our faces,” said O.?Z. When the thugs let up on him he then had to deal with fear, “I couldn’t see through my eye anymore.” The wounds need to be stitched. The high-schooler worried for hours about his sight. In addition, he suffered several broken bones in the face.

T.?K was also battered up. Besides broken bones he has pain when chewing. It’s clear for both of them, “They were youth from the Balkans. They were going throughout the city looking for someone they could make fit for a hospital visit.” The victims have filed complaints. The city police confirms the incident and is looking for witnesses.

“You want to see a picture of the future? Imagine a boot kicking a person’s face over and over again,” George Orwell wrote in “1984” in the year 1949. This future is now present!

Die Neue Westfälische writes:

The outbreak of violence by young men in the Bielefeld nightlife seems to have no end. As police speaker Christine Schmitt shared on Tuesday, Saturday at Jahnplatz it came to an attack of unmatched brutality against a 17-year-old youth. Two men attacked him for no apparent reason and beat him in the head with a beer bottle. According to his family, the victim has been paralyzed on one side of his body since then.

The 17-year-old left the McDonald’s restaurant at Jahnplatz with his 16-year-old friend around 10 in the evening, when suddenly two men yelled at both of them, called them “sons of whores” and spat on them. The had hardly been able to react but that the fists were already flying.

(…)

The perpetrators, who are now urgently sought, thereupon jumped into a silver car with Herford licence plates whose driver had been waiting for them in the bus lane.

(…)

Since then, the police have been looking for a silver car with Herford licence plates as well as both perpetrators: both are “southern” types with dark hair and in their early 20s. One is 1.60 to 1.65 meters (5′3″ to 5′5″) tall and wore a grey fleece pullover, the other (1.70 meters or around 5′7″) wore a blue top.

Today, it was said:

The report of the attack with serious results against the 17-year-old Hendrik Plath from Schloss Holte is startling: The student has been paralyzed on one side since the beating at Jahnplatz in Bielefeld. Only when witness Timo Kohlmeyer (25) stepped in with his pepperspray did the thugs let up on their victim. While friends and family are now worried about the health of the young man, the “savior of Jahnplatz” made the serious assertion that “something has to happen in Bielefeld’s most dangerous place.”

(…)

Since October, Kohlmeyer has been an employee at the theatre next to the McDonald’s restaurant where the conflict had its start. From there observes from evening to evening ever increasing numbers of violent acts among young men. “It’s not just about brawls. Drugs are sold here, hot items are passed, and cell phone deals made. Once each evening a patrol car will show up. “That’s it.”

The words of ignorant politicians from their ivory towers sound like a mockery: “These people with their multifaceted culture, their heartiness, and their joy for life is a gain for us all.

(Satire from Davide S. for German PI, translation by Anders Denken)

“Too foreign” is the judgment from the experts. The curriculum deals with a man named Jürgen who goes to work in the morning. And his wife also has a career. This totally misses the living environment of the female migrants, or so Mrs. Schmalz-Bohde from the Ministry of Integration (CDU – German Christian Democratic Union Party) reckons. The course instruction should not be oriented to the desires and ideas of the teachers, rather it must fit into the needs of the young women. She’s right! Therefore, PI has a few suggestions for a new primer geared to this special target group. All befitting their needs in simple language.

Here are the first lessons:

Lesson 1

Hürrem lives in Germany.
She likes it.
She says, “A beautiful country!”
We get everything here.
(Hint for the teacher: You can intertwine hints here about financial sponsorships and discuss such things as housing allowance, clothing allowance, heating subsidy and social aid.)

Lesson 2

The Germans used to be bad.
Today they are good
The Germans made a world war.
60 million people died.
(Hint for the teacher: Make it clear to your pupils that the inherited guilt of the Germans is being addressed here, and that it really doesn’t affect the immigrants.) That was bad.
The Germans also killed six million Jews.
We love the Germans.

Lesson 3

We are building a mosque.
It costs 40 million Euros.
We have one million.
The Germans will give us the rest.
The mosque is called “Fatih Mosque.”
Fatih, like the conqueror of Istanbul.
(Hint for the teacher: At this point you can insert hints of such complex German words (phrases) as, for example, “mosque builders association,” “development provisions” or “national insurance.”) The mosque is spectacular.
The men pray here on Fridays.

Lesson 4

Gülkan is having her period.
Right now she is unclean.
She is not allowed to pray.
She is not allowed to fast.
She can’t enter the mosque.
She can’t hold the holy Quran.
She will have to make up her prayers later.
Gülkan says, “When? I have to cook, wash and keep the house!”
So she ends up not catching up on her prayers.
For that, she will go to Hell.

Lesson 5

Özlem is a good wife.
She always wears her head covering.
Özlem and her husband Ercüment have five children.
So the Germans give them money for the kids.
Lots of money.
So much money that they don’t have to work.
That is called “Hartz IV.”
Özlem says, “It’s nice in Germany!”

Lesson 6

Büsra is not a good wife.
She left the way of Islam.
Her husband’s honor has been defiled.
He stabs her in the belly with his knife.
Now she is dead.
The burial will be in Turkey.
The Germans will pay for that, too.
(Hint for the teacher: Concepts with a negative connotation, such as honor killing, are to be avoided here at all costs!)

According to the exit polls, Jan Peter Balkenende’s CDA party will lose 12 of its 41 seats but still remain the strongest party. The PvdA (Labor Party) of Wouter Bos stands to lose six seats. Geert Wilders’ PVV Party appears to be gaining 15 seats to make a new total of 24. Today’s voter participation rests at 56 percent.

(From Andreas for German PI, translation by Anders Denken)

When I take a look around in the “politically incorrect” scene, peer at some Internet entries, and above all read many comments here, something occurs to me. This is intensified by experiences I have in groups of friends and acquaintances and at work: We have to ask ourselves, WHAT do we stand for, and HOW do we present ourselves to the public. For example, I have complete sympathy for intelligent people that turn their backs on the PI website appalled. I myself like to read PI a lot, and I often find the comments intelligent and humorous; I also hate to miss the selection of information that is published here (except for a few questionable banal posts on the level of the Bild (like the National Enquirer) newspaper. However, too many times I read some dull comments and some that are hostile to foreigners, coupled with expressions of malice, and those that sometimes obscurely and sometimes blatantly advocating violence.

I think that we all need to take a look at ourselves and consider just what we want to achieve and how we wish to appear. Do we wish to foster our monolithic resentments, act out our understandable (!) rage and temporarily feel better by publishing our sarcasm (with which I have complete sympathy)? Or is there something more? My understanding is that it deals with nothing less than engagement for the perpetuation of our open and pluralistic society, for the rescue of our common existence that has been shaped by humanistic-Christian-liberal values.

Do we not want to reach the so-called “average citizen” and encourage more and more people to critically consider the developments in our society? Doesn’t it really deal with attempting something that will give a voice to the general unrest that many feel but can’t formulate in words, and above all, put it into perspective?

If we stand for humanistic values, freedom, love, equality, direct democracy, open discussion and exchange, then we must ask ourselves just how convincingly we represent these values. My experience has been that one of the greatest hindrances we encounter is the understandable fear that many people have of being reactionary right-wingers should they be critical and take a new look at such themes as Islam, the new religious fascism, family politics, homeland, EU, etc. in the critical sense as we understand it.

I consider one of our greatest duties as speaking with our neighbors, family, workplace, sport club, circle of friends and breaking up the internal contradiction people have that no one is a “Nazi” that thinks and evaluates matters critically. Rather, we are dealing with such matters as the defense of freedom, engagement for equality and human rights, the future of our children.

We aren’t enemies of foreigners, rather we’re people friendly! We are FOR the good things and see them as being in danger; we want to protect namely us, our children, our freedom, and we want to keep and improve our open, social and humane form of society. This is what we espouse. We are against fascism, dictatorship, against the oppression of women and the suppression of love.

In reference to a fellow comrade, I want to spur others on to take a critical look at themselves: Do I cultivate images of hostility? Do I foster resentments? Do I have a good humor? Do I treat and argue subjects by rejection and negativity, or am I able to behave in a constructive and relaxed manner? Am I cool? Do I really love people?

Again: we must be better than all the fascistic, hollow, uncritical “left-wing” as well as “right-wing” violence-prone forces! They have to want to speak with us because we can persuade them by our example. This way it is easier to take the wind out of our critics’ sails.

Part of the problem of our being put into the “right-wing corner” is we ourselves, or a few of us. I would be so glad if the foes of foreigners and the right-wing dimwits wouldn’t misuse PI and other forums for their rabble-rousing and resentments, or if the majority of critical websites would hire a good web designer to make the presentation of their content truly engaging and fresh. How can we be better respected if we can’t present ourselves accordingly? How do we want to reach the people if we aren’t any better than the things we fight against?

I think these are questions we need to ask ourselves. And besides our powerful engagement for what is important to us, we also need to check up on ourselves constantly. I have experienced that when I remain cool and factual and have good arguments, that is where I find the most open doors. It’s not really the case that we’re exotic; most of them are simply suffering under politically correct neuroses, and that is where we need to meet them. With humor, enlightenment, and good arguments.

There is already enough hostility tied up in the Religion of Peace, resentment and evil images already convincingly cultivated by others, oppression nurtured by many forces. Our weapons, however, should be self-confident humor, powerful arguments, constructive suggestions (!) and our humaneness. But above all: clear, reasonable thought and a life full of happiness and love. THAT is what our weapons should be. Our greatest enemies are negativity, cowardice and fear. We can counter them with courage, perseverance, enlightenment and humaneness.

Write letters to politicians and newspapers, visit panel discussions, hand out information, talk with the people and, above all, develop perspectives! Also, have something to say about the EU, about family policies that consider the future, about a reasonable immigration policy, about an intelligent economic, tax and social policy. Be competent and winsome and join together in groups!

I want to thank PI for publishing my thoughts and I wish for everyone here to have good ideas and courage, which is how we are able to affect anything. To use an old slogan of the left-wing anarchists:

“Build bonds!”

Nigel Farage (photo left) of the British Independent Party (UKIP) started the verbal attacks that the German media naturally considered as “right-wing populist.” SpOn was happy that the evil Farage had to pay a fine of 3,000 Euros for his harsh words. The attacks hit their mark anyway, and Farage isn’t necessarily wrong. Hear for yourself:

The picture above is the result of a Google News search for “Wilders Rechtspopulist”. Rechtspopulist can be translated as “right wing populist”, but I have a hunch that the latter has in English more the ring of “popular”, “common touch” or “grassroots”. In German, it’s exclusively used to describe a demagogue.

Which is, of course, fatuous, because a demagogue tells people what they WANT TO hear, whereas Wilders tells people what they DO NOT want to hear.

You will recognize some terms, I think. “Rechts” is the ever-recurring “right wing”. Germans won’t recognize a liberal because they don’t understand the concept. They long to be anally penetrated by totalitarianism, and, after Nazism and Communism, Islam is just the option. 20 years of a totalitarianism-free Germany is more than enough! In that spirit the term “Islamhasser” ought to be seen, which means, not too surprisingly, “Islam hater”, and that is about the worst thing one can call a politician here.

Which tells, of course, nothing about Wilders but all about the German mainstream.

Der Generalanzeiger writes:

The serious offender of Meckenheim who now has to face charges before the Euskirchen Juvenile Court had apparently been able to carry on his mischief for too long.

Six charges were compiled against the 18-year-old today — break-in and burglary in three cases, to driving without a license and falsification of documents, to robbery. And one of his victims was a juror who had to sit in court for his case.

When the juror found out the first time at the reading of the charges (since the law states that nothing about the case can be heard before the reading) that the accused was involved in a crime with her car, the trial was over at the start. She had to give up her place on the jury because of bias.

Also, Meckenheim youth, among whom were a few court-known serious offenders, had to abandon their places in the viewing area when the trial was continued against their friend. Two others who were accessories to the accused had also been defendants before, and since both of them were adolescents at the time of the crime, the trial took place publicly.

However because both of them were only present at the attempted break-ins of a Meckenheim church, a bakery and a wool shop, the trial for them ended quickly. The sentence of community service hours was thundered upon them.

Then it was time for the trial against the serious offender himself, and since he was still a minor at the time of the crime, the public was excluded of the process. The German-born son in an immigrant family, whose members have lived an orderly life otherwise, admitted upon advice by the court to all of the charges against him by the district attorney. Beginning with the first act where he, at the age of 16 and without a license, drove an automobile into a lamppost, then to stealing a purse in a disco in Königswinter, and then the most serious accusation.

In January 2009, he along with two other perpetrators fell upon a youth, beat him, and then searched him until they had found 50 Euros. Now, the court charged him particularly for all of this, and he apologized to his victim and wished him a speedy recovery.

At the end of the trial came the sentence: The 18-year-old, who had gotten away before with bodily injury with community service and arrests, must now receive the youth offender sentence of one and one-half years probation and 150 hours of community service. Judge Krapoth warned: “If you disappoint me, I will become very angry.”

He will certainly not disappoint him. He finally knows now that offensive behavior gets dealt with harshly.

Especially shocking for the Post is that the antisemitic “Wailing Wall” directly in front of the main landmark of the city was no rock of offense for Cologne’s politicians — especially for ex-Mayor Fritz Schramma (CDU) and his social democratic successor Jürgen Roters — and that they did nothing to remove the Anti-Jewish propaganda.

It was only after an inquiry by the Post that Roters condemned the anti-Jewish depictions and declared that Herrmann is even “mentally ill.” That Herrmann’s “criticism of Israel” depicting Jews that drink blood and murder Palestinians should remain unpunished gives Israel cause for consideration and worry. The 639 signers of an Internet petition (among which were many PI readers) against the anti-Jewish propaganda in Cologne were also mentioned.

Democracy would then be abolished on the Island and Sharia instituted as the sole legal system in force. The extremist group has already been supported by ten million pounds of British taxpayer money out of a fund for “combatting extremism.” Labour intends to undertake countermeasures — it it’s not too late already to do something about it.

Ten-year-olds don’t normally write such things by themselves. The pupils see the Israelis as murderers of children and old people, and as occupiers of “Palestine” that need to disappear from there — apparently somebody has taught such things to them. Under suspicion for these things are the (extreme left-wing) teachers in Spanish schools. The Spanish ambassador in Israel was summoned to the Israeli Ministry of the Exterior for an explanation of the incident. He strongly rejected any liability against the Spanish Ministry of Education pertaining to the situation. Ambassador Shotz has already been insulted many times in Spain – he has been described as a “dirty Jew” and as a “Jewish dog

The Swedish news portal Sveriges Radio reports:

The number of so-named hate crimes against followers of religious groups is on constantly rising in Sweden. This is what the news agency TT reports, referring to an analysis from the police in Skåne. According to the analysis, the number of break-ins against Jews has doubled in the past year. According to statements by the victims, the issue of the perpetrators usually has to do with Muslims whose numbers have increased strongly in Malmö in the past years, primarily as a result of immigration.

Many Jews are now considering moving away from Malmö, the chairperson of the Central Jewish Council in Sweden, Lena Posner Körösi, said. However, assaults against Jews have increased all over the country.

Assaults against Muslims also increased in 2008. The chairperson of the Swedish Muslim Council, Helena Benaouda, said that she receives telephone threats daily. Threats, insults and violent attacks against Muslims in the meantime have become daily occurrences. Even attacks on mosques have increased in the past year. Altogether 600 complaints have been filed because of religiously motivated crimes, according to statements by the Council for the Prevention of Crimes.

Surely it has nothing to do with Islam…
