Intro from here: Geert Wilders is a Dutch parliamentarian who has become famous for being outspoken about the danger to democracy from Muslim immigration in Europe. His good friend and filmmaker, Theo Van Gogh was assassinated by an Islamic fundamentalist on November 2, 2004 because of his film “Submission”: a film based on a script from Ayaan Hirsi Ali that was highly critical of Islam’s treatment of women.Wilders released his own film critical of Islam (“Fitna” 2008)...Wilders is on a crusade to warn the West about the dangers of Islam. He came to the States last September at the invitation of The Hudson Institute to speak about the threat of losing Europe...
From what we know, Wilders is not a Christian so we would remind you that our calling is to love Muslims. On the other hand, we are not called to love Islam and will stand on the rooftops and shout to the world about its dangers and counter the lie of the day: “Islam is a religion of peace.”
The Last Man Standing
In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: Who lost Europe?
I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The danger I see looming is the scenario of America as the last man standing. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe. In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe? Patriots from around Europe risk their lives every day to prevent precisely this scenario form becoming a reality.
On The Ground in Europe
The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks. But ... sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world, a world very few visitors see. ... All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. ... There are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics.
... The history of the Holocaust can in many cases no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity. In England, Sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up ... because he was drinking during Ramadan. Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. ...
The Politicians Fold
... In my own country we have gone from calls by one cabinet member to turn Muslim holidays into official state holidays, to statements by another cabinet member, that Islam is part of Dutch culture, to an affirmation by the Christian-Democratic attorney general that he is willing to accept Sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority.
Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence ... to small-scale riots. .... Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Politicians shy away from taking a stand against this creeping Sharia. ...
Islam 101
Allow me to give you a brief Islam 101. The first thing you need to know about Islam is the importance of the book of the Quran. The Quran is Allah’s personal word, revealed by an angel to Mohammed, the prophet. This is where the trouble starts. Every word in the Quran is Allah’s word and therefore is not open to discussion or interpretation. It is valid for every Muslim and for all times. Therefore, there is no such a thing as moderate Islam. Sure, there are a lot of moderate Muslims. But a moderate Islam is non-existent.
The Quran calls for hatred, violence, submission, murder, and terrorism. The Quran calls for Muslims to kill non-Muslims, to terrorize non-Muslims and to fulfill their duty to wage war: violent jihad. Jihad is a duty for every Muslim, Islam is to rule the world – by the sword. ...
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace ... there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages – at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. ...
Islam: A Political Ideology with Rules for Every Part of Life and Society
... Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. ... But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. ... If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
... Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam “the most retrograde force in the world,” and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran.
We Are Losing On All Fronts
It is very difficult to be an optimist in the face of the growing Islamization of Europe. All the tides are against us. On all fronts we are losing. ... Academia, the arts, the media, trade unions, the churches, the business world, the entire political establishment have all converted to the suicidal theory of multiculturalism. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a ‘right-wing extremists’ or ‘racists.’ ...
Something Worse Than 9/11
... Seven years ago to the day, there was still smoke rising from ground zero, following the attacks that forever shattered that dream. Yet there is a danger even greater than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing.
The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. ...
Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. ... We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.
These are not times in which to take lessons from appeasement, capitulation, giving away, giving up or giving in. These are not times in which to draw lessons from Mr. Chamberlain. These are times calling us to draw lessons from Mr. Churchill and the words he spoke in 1942:
“Never give in, never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy”.
