It’s not news the Britain’s leftist party favored enormous flows of diverse immigrants who were presumably friendly to the big-government approach to society. In 2009, Andrew Neather, a speechwriter for PM Tony Blair, blabbed that increased immigration under Labour was designed to make Britain more multi-culti and “rub the Right’s nose in diversity.”
‘We were sending out search parties for people’: Former Labour Cabinet Minister Peter Mandelson has admitted that his party actively encouraged immigration to the UK while in government
Labour sent out ‘search parties’ for immigrants to get them to come to the UK, Lord Mandelson has admitted.
In a stunning confirmation that the Blair and Brown governments deliberately engineered mass immigration, the former Cabinet Minister and spin doctor said New Labour sought out foreign workers.
He also conceded that the influx of arrivals meant the party’s traditional supporters are now unable to find work.
By contrast, Labour leader Ed Miliband has said his party got it wrong on immigration but has refused to admit it was too high under Labour.
Between 1997 and 2010, net migration to Britain totalled more than 2.2million, more than twice the population of Birmingham.
The annual net figure quadrupled under Labour from 48,000 people in 1997 to 198,000 by 2009.
Lord Mandelson’s remarks come three years after Labour officials denied claims by former adviser Andrew Neather that they deliberately encouraged immigration in order to change the make-up of Britain. Continue reading this article
How often do we see this scenario: Muslim jihadist murders innocents for Allah, and the well-practiced squawkers then shriek about non-existent backlash incidents? They are followed quickly by the liberal media publicizing the idea of Muslim victimhood, sometimes fretting about retaliation that hasn’t happened and overwhelming the original crime. In one case of the press promoting hysteria, in 2011 the Washington Post published a front-page story about an upcoming Congressional investigation titled “Hearings on Muslims trigger panic.”
Now we see Attorney General Eric Holder lecture Americans that they should reject retaliation against Muslim immigrants in our midst. Isn’t he supposed to be enforcing the law and investigating the Boston terror attack? Instead of doing his job, he is following the political jihad agenda of portraying Muslims as the victims, even though the followers of Allah routinely murder infidels daily in the name of their religion.
Attorney General Eric Holder declared Monday that the Justice Department is on the lookout for acts of violence or discrimination that signal a backlash to the Boston Marathon bombings earlier this month in which three people were killed and scores wounded.
“Our investigation into this matter remains ongoing – and I want to assure you that my colleagues and I are determined to hold accountable, to the fullest extent of the law, all of those who were responsible for this attack,” Holder said, according to the prepared text of a speech delivered Monday to the Anti-Defamation League. “But I also want to make clear that – just as we will pursue relentlessly anyone who would target our people or attempt to terrorize our cities – the Justice Department is firmly committed to protecting innocent people against misguided acts of retaliation.” (continues)
It’s certainly true that Muslims started squealing about their fear of backlash after the Boston terror bombing as soon as the perps were identified:
However, when lynch mobs of Islamophobic Americans were not forthcoming, even the liberal Associated Press had to admit that the backlash was pretty slim. Plus, the cases cited sound squirrelly, which is not surprising since the jihad-friendly Council on American Islamic Relations encourages Muslims to report and exaggerate the slightest unpleasantry from infidels.
NEW YORK—It looked like the backlash was starting even before the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing were identified as Muslim.
Hours after the explosions, a Bangladeshi man told police he was dubbed an “Arab” and beaten in New York. A veiled Muslim woman in a city near Boston said she was struck in the shoulder and called a terrorist. When the public learned days later that the FBI was pursuing two Muslim men of Chechen descent, American Muslims feared the worst.
But the worst didn’t happen.
Muslim civil rights leaders say the anti-Islam reaction has been more muted this time than after other attacks since Sept. 11, which had sparked outbursts of vandalism, harassment and violence. Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which monitors bias and hate crimes against Muslims, said his organization has seen no uptick in reports of harassment, assaults or damage to mosques since the April 15 bombings. Leaders noted a larger, broader chorus of Americans warning against placing collective blame. Continue reading this article
We can add the Boston Marathon terrorism to the list of failures from America’s permissive immigration system: screening is abominably loose on the entry side and the government refuses to deport undesirables when they break the law. If the country did not rubber stamp immigrants so casually, and in this case admit a questionable refugee case, then public safety and national security would not be a pathetic joke of cleaning up preventable messes. The Tsarnaev family was accepted as refugees based on a sad story. But their life in Kazakhstan cannot have been so tough since the father moved back, leaving two sons to assault the country that generously welcomed them.
Below, the three people killed in the Boston Marathon bombing,: Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell and Lu Lingzi.
Sean Collier (pictured right) was a 26-year-old security officer for MIT who was shot and killed by the Boston bomber brothers from Chechnya. Stupid immigration policy is behind all these deaths.
CIS has posted a nice list of recent wanna-be terrorists, with the reminder that 95 percent of persons on the US terrorist watchlist are foreign born, along with recent examples of immigrant terrorists in America. If the United States is screening potential immigrants for possible jihadist sympathies at all, then it’s not working.
Washington runs immigration as if the United States has no enemies on earth, when in fact there are millions who would love to murder Americans and destroy the country. Yet the politicians voting for open borders and extreme diversity refuse to admit the connection between Muslim immigration and threats to national security. The fable of universal immigration is far too costly in human and financial terms to continue. It must stop.
Islam has been at war with all non-Muslims for the last 1400 years. It’s crazy to believe otherwise just because liberals preach that “diversity is our strength.” It isn’t. Mainstream European leaders Cameron, Sarkozy and Merkel have all admitted that multicultural immigration (meaning Muslims) has been a huge mistake. We Americans should be smart enough to learn from Europe’s blunder while there is still time.
In the current case, the Boston Marathon deaths could have been prevented had authorities done their duty by deporting the older Tsarnaev brother after he was convicted for domestic violence. Interestingly, this non-enforcement occurred under the Obama administration, which presents itself as being a defender of women’s rights.
One of the Chechen terrorists who carried out the Boston Marathon bombings could have been deported years ago after a criminal conviction and the other was granted American citizenship on the 11th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old killed in a wild shootout with police, was a legal U.S. resident who nevertheless could have been removed from the country after a 2009 domestic violence conviction, according to a Judicial Watch source. That means the Obama administration missed an opportunity to deport Tsarnaev but evidently didn’t feel he represented a big enough threat.
Adding insult to injury, the other bomber, little brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was rewarded with American Citizenship on September 11, 2012 in Boston, according to JW’s source. The 19-year-old, who is still on the run, was granted asylum in Arlington Virginia on September 27, 2002, JW’s source reveals.
Years before these Chechen terrorists carried out the Boston Marathon bombings Judicial Watch uncovered critical intelligence documents detailing al Qaeda’s activities in Chechnya, including the creation of a 1995 camp—ordered by Osama bin Laden—to train “international terrorists” to carry out plots against Americans and westerners.
The goal, according to the once-classified documents obtained by JW in 2011, was to “establish a worldwide Islamic state capable of directly challenging the U.S., China, Russia, and what it views as Judeo-Christian and Confucian domination.” Further, radical Islamic regimes were to be established and supported everywhere possible, from “sea to sea,” including Chechnya. “Terrorist activities are to be conducted against Americans and westerners…” according to the report issued by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).

Nothing says celebration to Muslims more than a mass attack on infidels, particularly Christians. The city of Lahore recently experienced hundreds of Muslims burning down Christian homes because there was a rumor that someone spoke ill of the precious prophet. Supposedly the Muslims were angry about the alleged insult, but the photos show a happy horde who clearly enjoyed destroying the homes and property of Christians.
Of course, not all Pakistani immigrants are jihadists or even support a worldwide caliphate, but it is culturally naive for our government to base its immigration policy on the idea that all diversity is equal.
LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Hundreds of people in eastern Pakistan rampaged through a Christian neighborhood Saturday, torching dozens of homes after hearing reports that a Christian man had committed blasphemy against Islam’s prophet.
Blasphemy is a serious crime in Pakistan that can carry the death penalty but sometimes outraged residents exact their own retribution for perceived insults of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Pakistan is overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim and people of other faiths, including the nation’s small Christian community, are often viewed with suspicion.
The incident started Friday when a young Muslim man accused a Christian man of committing blasphemy by making offensive comments about the prophet, according to Multan Khan, a senior police officer in Lahore.
A large crowd from a nearby mosque went to the Christian man’s home on Friday night, said Khan. Police registered a blasphemy case against the man after the crowd gathered and demanded action, the officer said.
Fearing for their safety, hundreds of Christian families fled the area overnight.
Khan said the mob returned on Saturday and began ransacking Christian homes and setting them ablaze. He said no one in the Christian community was hurt, but several policemen were injured when they were hit with stones as they tried to keep the crowd from storming the area.
But Akram Gill, a local bishop in the Lahore Christian community said the incident had more to do with personal enmity between two men — one Christian and one Muslim — than blasphemy. He said the men got into a brawl after drinking late one night, and in the morning the Muslim man made up the blasphemy story as payback. Continue reading this article
In San Diego, some of the local Somalis were gathering up cash to send to jihadis back home — big mistake, since funding terrorism is illegal. The purpose was to finance the al Shabaab bunch, who are trying to institute a sharia government, featuring execution by stoning, death for watching soccer on TV or murder for made-up reasons, like the teen-aged girls shot for being spies or something.
Somali immigrants are apparently very loyal to their homeland, although the real headwaters for Shabaab support in the US has been more in Minnesota, where others have been convicted of illegal funding, plus the dozens who renounced the United States to join armed jihad in Somalia.
The only difference in this case is the locale of the immigrants. They must not have cared for the southern California lifestyle.
Why doe Washington continue to admit such a hostile tribe? Presumably there are many nice people who would like to immigrate to the US and are not interested in killing infidels. Maybe not all diversity is equal.
The latest bunch of convicts includes an imam, supposedly a spiritual leader of the Religion of Peace.
Four Somali immigrants, including a popular imam at a San Diego-area mosque, were convicted by a U.S. federal jury on Friday of conspiring to provide material support to an al Qaeda-linked Islamist militia in the Horn of Africa nation.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California said that the men – the imam, two cab drivers and an employee at a money transmitting business – had conspired to raise and send money to Somali al Shabaab rebels.
Al Shabaab militants want to impose a strict version of Islamic law in war-ravaged Somalia, but have lost significant territory in the southern and central parts of the country in the face of an offensive by African Union troops.
According to the evidence presented at trial, the men conspired to transfer funds from San Diego to Somalia through the Shidaal Express, a now-defunct money transmitting business in San Diego. Continue reading this article
“Prosecutorial discretion for dreamers is solely based on the individual’s claims. Our orders are if an alien says they went to high school, then let them go,” [Border Patrol union leader Chis Crane] said at a press conference with GOP senators.
It wouldn’t be that hard for al Qaeda or similar jihadists to tutor some of their top bomb guys about how to act Mexican and say “I’m a Dreamer,” then funnel them across the southern border into the defenseless United States. The terrorists wouldn’t have to be convincing — as the Border Patrol complains, there is no requirement of any proof at all. All DREAMer claimers get in. Is that a welcome mat for enemies or what?
[. . .] Few Americans know that these threats on our doorstep can be traced back in large measure to the narco-state that has taken root in Venezuela under the reckless regime of Hugo Chavez.
This hostile government is managed by Cuba’s security apparatus, funded by China, armed by Russia, and partnered with Iran, Hezbollah, and Colombian and Mexican narco-traffickers.
U.S. authorities and prosecutors have gathered fresh, compelling evidence implicating senior Venezuelan officials — including Chavez himself — in the drug trade. Chavez has also forged an important strategic alliance with Iran to allow that radical regime to evade international sanctions and to advance its asymmetrical threat against the United States. Iran’s terror proxy, Hezbollah, is hosted in Venezuela, where it is actively engaged in narco-trafficking in the Americas. [. . .]
A reminder of the threat was underlined by a Wednesday item in security analyst Bill Gertz’ column:
A jihadist website posted a new threat by al Qaeda this week that promises to conduct “shocking” attacks on the United States and the West.
The posting appeared on the Ansar al Mujahidin network Sunday and carried the headline, “Map of al Qaeda and its future strikes.”
The message, in Arabic, asks: “Where will the next strike by al Qaeda be?” A translation was obtained by Inside the Ring.
“The answer for it, in short: The coming strikes by al Qaeda, with God’s Might, will be in the heart of the land of nonbelief, America, and in France, Denmark, other countries in Europe, in the countries that helped and are helping France, and in other places that shall be named by al Qaeda at other times,” the threat states.
The attacks will be “strong, serious, alarming, earth-shattering, shocking and terrifying.”
Under a section of the post on the method of the attacks, the unidentified writer said the strikes would be “group and lone-wolf operations, in addition to the use of booby-trapped vehicles.” Continue reading this article
The sale of Al Gore’s Current TV network to Al Jazeera has stirred up quite a bit of criticism, in particular from conservative observers, noting the hypocrisy of the green guru grabbing $100 million in money made from the oil industry.
But Gore has also disgusted liberal environmental allies, repelled for the same reason:
Yesterday morning, the still shell shocked staff at Current TV was called to an all hands staff meeting at its San Francisco headquarters, which was teleconferenced to their offices in LA and NYC, to meet their new bosses.
That would be two of Al Jazeera’s top guys: Ehab Al Shihabi, executive director of international operations, and Muftah AlSuwaidan, general manager of the London bureau.
Ominously missing was the creator of Current, the self proclaimed inventor of the Internet and savior of clean energy, Al Gore, although his partner, Joel Hyatt, stood proudly with the Al Jazeera honchos.
“Of course Al didn’t show up,” said one high placed Current staffer. “He has no credibility.
“He’s supposed to be the face of clean energy and just sold [the channel] to very big oil, the emir of Qatar! Current never even took big oil advertising—and Al Gore, that bulls***ter sells to the emir?” [. . .]
Former Vice President Gore has shown that the only green he really admires is the sort that fits in wallets.
What did Al Jazeera get for its $500 million purchase price? Current TV has been getting miserable ratings, averaging about 42,000 prime-time viewers last quarter. But the network does have its camel nose under the tent in terms of access to many American households and hopes to expand that admittance somehow.
Plus, Al Jazeera has also bought a degree of respectability by purchasing the network partially owned by a former Vice President of the United States. The hefty price tag makes no sense otherwise. And Jazeera needs a major makeover after years of being “the most powerful voice of the Muslim Brotherhood”.
But what kind of programming does AJ present?
One recent report was less than friendly to America, alleging that hate-crime violence against Muslims is “spiraling out of control.”
Furthermore, Al Jazeera’s list of horrors is bogus. At the top of the story is a photo of Mona Eltahawy, a Muslim activist who vandalized a political poster in a New York subway station (my choice of picture is shown below), and who was arrested (!) for destroying private property. Eltahawy is a diverse immigrant from Egypt and hasn’t yet learned that the First Amendment protects free speech.
Given Mona’s carefully curious color co-ordination, the attentive observer must conclude the action was a stunt designed to create publicity: she wore a pink coat and used pink spray paint to deface the anti-jihad poster she disliked. Unserious.
But to Al Jazeera, the arrest was a hate crime. They have a lot to learn about America and its Constitution.
AJ’s text begins with a slanted retelling of the terrible subway killing of a Middle-Eastern-looking man (an Indian actually), pushed in front of a train by a crazy person who said she has hated Muslims since 9/11. The state of mental health treatment in this country really is shameful, but Jazeera chose to create a hate climate scenario based on this crime.
The piece then goes on to paint instances of murdered storekeepers as hate crimes, even though the occupation is one of the more dangerous.
But if Al Jazeera wants to paint America as a place where Muslims are unwelcome, that’s not a bad thing. If thousands of Muslims read this article and decide not to immigrate to the USA, then it’s great. Jazeera can continue to lie about what a meanie society the US is as long as that belief keeps the Muslims at home in dar al-Islam.
Whatever the long-term outcome of the Jazeerafication of cable TV, Al Gore is laughing all the way to the bank.
On the evening of December 27, an Indian immigrant to America named Sunando Sen was pushed by a stranger onto the subway tracks in New York City and struck and killed by an oncoming train. Sen had called New York home for years, and after years of hard work and struggle had recently managed to achieve his lifelong goal of opening a small business of his own, a copy shop in Upper Manhattan.
His roommate, MD Khan expressed shock at the death of his friend, a soft spoken man who liked to stay up late watching comedy shows and listening to music: “He was so nice, gentle and quiet… It’s broken my heart.”
The following day, the NYPD announced the arrest of Erika Menendez, a 31-year-old woman who had been spotted on security footage fleeing the scene after Sen had been pushed. Upon being detained and taken to a 112th Precinct police station for questioning, Menendez confessed to Sen’s murder and revealed as her motivation a desire to commit violence against Muslims. As she told detectives:
“I pushed a Muslim off the train tracks because I hate Hindus and Muslims… Ever since 2001 when they put down the Twin Towers, I’ve been beating them up.” Continue reading this article
A recent case of an attempted jihadist terror attack began to be revealed in a New York City courtroom on Tuesday when Raees Alam Qazi, 20, appeared for a bail hearing. Qazi, along with his older brother Sheheryar Alam, 30, were charged with planning to bomb New York City in a crowded area in order to kill lots of Americans.
The brothers were motivated by a desire for revenge because of American drone attacks on their native Pakistan. The younger brother at least attended American schools after the family immigrated to this country, but apparently they remained loyal to their tribe and religion to the point of wanting to murder the people who welcomed them.
Why does Washington continue to admit likely enemies as immigrants? Are the suits not paying attention, or do they think a few terrorist murders are the necessary cost of adding the diversity America needs?
Raees Alam Qazi wanted to blow up a New York City landmark, prosecutors alleged, but he lacked the resources to carry out the plan.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Pakistani-born man wanted to avenge the deaths of U.S. drone attacks in Afghanistan by blowing up a New York City landmark but lacked the money and materials to carry out the plan, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Gilbert said at a bail hearing that Raees Alam Qazi, 20, researched bomb-making techniques on Internet sites affiliated with al-Qaida, including one using Christmas tree lights, and the FBI recorded phone calls and conversations linking Qazi to a purported “lone wolf” plot.
“He fully intended to do this, and thankfully he didn’t have enough money,” Gilbert said. Referring to casualties in U.S. drone attacks, she added: “He wants to avenge those deaths and kill people.”
Qazi traveled to New York last month in hopes of getting a job to fund his terrorist plans, Gilbert said, but wound up sleeping in public transportation, a mosque and in restaurants, and riding a bicycle around the city looking for potential targets. He then decided to return home on a Greyhound bus and was arrested after arriving back in South Florida, she said.
Qazi, a naturalized U.S. citizen who attended local Florida public schools, confirmed many elements of the plot in a statement to FBI agents after his arrest in late November, Gilbert said. Investigators also found bomb-making and related components at the Qazi family home in Oakland Park, as well as explosives research evidence on a computer used by Qazi. Continue reading this article
Abdullatif Aldosary (pictured), currently a resident of Coolidge Arizona, is being questioned about the bomb set off in the Casa Grande Social Security office Friday morning.
The police kept neighbors of Aldosary out of their homes for hours until they determined the residence was safe, so they may have suspected a bomb trap.
A 47-year old Iraqi refugee is in federal custody Saturday in connection with an explosion at a Social Security office in Casa Grande.
A source close to the investigation says he’ll likely face a litany of federal and state explosive and arson charges on Monday. Continue reading this article
The young men are part of a trending uptick of increased Islo-terror plots. As analyst Walid Phares noted in 2010, “According to open-source reports, between 2001 and 2008, U.S. agencies stopped one or two terror attempts a year. However, from 2009 until today, the government has been uncovering one or two cases a month, a troubling growth in jihadi activities.”
Hostile Muslims apparently believe they are on a roll around the world to establish an Islamic caliphate of totalitarian sharia rule, and the belief shows up in increased jihadist activity. Muslim immigration continues to be an unwise public policy, to say the least
Below, two of the four mega massacre hopefuls: Ralph de Leon aka Rafiq Abdul Raheem (left) and Arifeen D. Gojali.
One interesting aspect is that Sohiel Omar Kabir, 34, is said to have converted Ontario resident Ralph Deleon, 23, and Upland resident Alejandro Santana, 21, to the doctrine of killer Islam. How did that conversation go?? “Hey guys, let’s all go jihad and murder American infidels for Allah.”
Kabir was born in Afghanistan and served in the Air Force from 2000 to 2001, although the documents did not specify why he spent only a year in the service.
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KTLA) — Four Southern California men have been charged with plotting to join Al-Qaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan in order to kill Americans.
According to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in the Central District of California, the defendants conspired to provide material support to terrorists in preparation for or in carrying out: conspiracy to kill, kidnap, maim, or injure persons and damage property in a foreign country, killing and attempting to kill officers and employees of the United States, killing nationals of the United States, conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction outside the United States; and bombing places of public use and government facilities.
The defendants, listed below, are also known by alias identities listed in the criminal complaint.
Sohiel Omar Kabir, 34, a former resident of Pomona and naturalized United States citizen, born in Afghanistan.
Ralph Deleon, 23, of Ontario, a lawful permanent resident alien, born in the Philippines.
Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales (further described herein and in the criminal complaint as Santana), 21, of Upland, a lawful permanent resident, born in Mexico and whose application for citizenship is pending in the United States.
Arifeen David Gojali, 21, of Riverside, a United States citizen.
The complaint, which was unsealed today during the defendants initial appearance in U.S. District Court, alleges that in 2010, Kabir introduced Deleon and Santana to radical and violent Islamic doctrine and various extremist material, including essays and lectures by now-deceased Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula leader, Anwar Al-Awlaqi.

A Brooklyn federal courtroom was clownified on Friday as an immigrant jihadist warbled a little Islamic ditty to celebrate his murderous religion and invite the judge to join up.
The singer, also known as Adis Medunjanin (pictured), 28, was being sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up subway cars jammed full of Americans, after being found guilty of the crime last May.
Interestingly, Medunjanin is himself an American citizen, having come here at age 10 from Bosnia with his parents. He graduated from Flushing High School but was not impressed by America’s generous welcome or its western system of law and society. So he traveled to Pakistan along with two school pals, Najibullah Zazi and Zarein Ahmedzay, hoping to join the Taliban and kill US soldiers. They ended up at an al Qaeda camp where they were convinced to return to Queens and murder on American territory.
It’s noteworthy that if the Bosnian were an illegal alien, he would be a perfect Dreamer, having lived for much of his young life in this country, supposedly absorbing our culture and values. Except assimilation didn’t happen at all. Medunjanin hates everything about this country, having cooked up an Islamist-leftist stew in his mind of despising both infidels and capitalism.
Weren’t Bosnians supposed to be the “moderate Muslims”? — a category now apparently as realistic as unicorns, given instances of actual behavior. Muslim immigration is a bad policy, dangerous to public safety and national security, and should be stopped.
The Queens man who trained overseas with al Qaeda and plotted a suicide bombing on the city’s crowded subway system sang Koranic verses in open court today as he was sentenced to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.
Bearded terrorist Adis Medunjanin, 28, broke out in song as he, defense attorney Robert Gottlieb and federal prosecutors stood at the foot of Judge John Gleeson’s bench in Brooklyn federal court.
In fact, Medunjanin wearing a black suit and white dress shirt, announced his intentions to Gleeson.
“I would like to be praising God in Arabic,” he said. “As a Muslim, it is my duty to invite you into this great religion.”
After singing prayers in Arabic, Medunjanin read verses from the Koran in English as his parents, sister and extended family members watched from the gallery.
He then launched into a verbal assault on the US and blasted its foreign policy and overseas wars, condemning torture and mass killings.
“I ask you, what is democracy? What kind of system endorses torture? I ask you, is this really the best system that humanity has ever produced?”
He also criticized the very wealthy and questioned why so many suffer from hunger in the world.
“I would like to ask, in what kind of world are we living – full of hate and lies? The rich keep getting richer. The poor keep getting poorer. Oppression is on every corner. I ask you, where is the peace?”
“I ask all the people who worship the money: When we die, can we bring the money with us? We have so much food, we could feed all the world.” Continue reading this article
At the end of October, Dutch political leader Geert Wilders traveled to Malmo, Sweden, for a speech sponsored by the Swedish Free Press Society. Malmo, the third-largest city in Sweden, has been particularly hard hit by Muslim immigration, a place where firemen insist on a police escort when entering an Islamic neighborhood because of the danger.
Dear friends, I am very happy to be in your midst today. Thank you, Ingrid, for inviting me to address the Swedish Free Press Society. No demonstrator will prevent me to speak in Sweden.
I love Sweden and its people. One of my great heroes, Raoul Wallenberg, was a compatriot of yours. Wallenberg embodies all that is good and generous in the Swedish people. He defended the freedom and dignity of others. He protected those who had been marked for death by an evil ideology. And he gave his own life for it.
Recently, your minister for Integration, Erik Ullenhag, was in The Hague on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Wallenberg’s birthday. He abused the occasion to attack my party, the Dutch Party for Freedom.
Minister Ullenhag said that in Sweden a party like mine would never be given the opportunity to influence politics. I wonder what these remarks had to do with Wallenberg. But I know that Mr Ullenhag is wrong: Like the Netherlands, Sweden, too, and all the Western countries need a party defending freedom.
Because Sweden has the same problem as the Netherlands, Denmark and the rest of the Western world. We are all in the same boat. Our freedoms are in danger. Our political and often leftist media establishment turns a blind eye to the largest threat to liberty in our present age. This threat is called Islam.
Islam commands its followers to establish a worldwide Islamic state, where everyone has to live according to the Sharia, the barbaric law of Islam. And where Islam’s opponents are being marked for death.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn used to say that the truth is “seldom sweet; it is almost invariably bitter.” But the truth should be heard. The bitter truth that Islam is the largest threat to freedom today. And the unpleasant truth that Islam is already all around us. Continue reading this article
