<br />
<span style="line-height: normal;">I watched a TV debate on Islam the other day. It was one of those standard discussions where the Muslim panellist blamed everyone but Islam and its adherents for the massive problems that exist wherever Islam has a noticeable presence, while the non-Muslim counterpart offered very tepid arguments to try to refute those claims.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">Whenever I watch debates like this, it always amazes me that the non-Muslims have such difficulties in delivering clear and concise arguments describing the true nature of Islam. They are unable to do so in a manner that completely annihilates the insidious arguments offered by the supporters of Islam. Because it should be a pretty straightforward process for those who possess more than a basic knowledge of Islam to verbally eviscerate this pernicious ideology, to show how absurd it is to worship such a deviant philosophy and how absolutely outrageous it is for its followers to insist that their ideology is worthy of anyone’s respect</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">Hence, I have decided to highlight some of the arguments that I believe opponents of Islam should be focusing on whenever they venture into a debate on Islam with Muslims and individuals who have gone a couple of rounds through the politically correct wringer.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">Criticism of Islam should be as basic as possible. It should not try to rely on scholarly critiques, which ordinary Non-Muslims still in the dark about the viciousness of the religion only find confusing. The best strategy is to keep it as simple as possible, go for the jugular and ram the message home until it sticks. What follows are a few basic points that ought to be self-evident, irrespective of one’s knowledge of Islamic doctrine.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">The first point that I would like to make is that it should be blatantly obvious to any rational person that there is something seriously wrong with Islam, based solely on the poor state of democracy and human rights wherever Islam is the dominant force. Certain alarm bells should go off when reading or watching MSM reports about people in the Islamic world who are routinely executed by stoning, decapitation or simply being hanged from mobile cranes in public squares for having violated some of Islam’s strict codes. A normal sane ideology would never call for punishments of such a nature, and people who commit violent acts of a similar kind are rightly treated as psychopaths in most parts of the Western world.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">The second point is this: It should be equally obvious that there is something wrong with Islam based on the countless terrorist attacks that are carried out in its name. To maintain that these attacks are perpetrated exclusively by extremists who do not represent true Islam should, from a purely rational point of view, be dismissed — given the frequencies of the attacks, the fact that they are carried out on practically every continent (Antarctica coming soon!), and that Muslims from all over the world voluntarily and proudly partake in them.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">A question that should be asked when listening to claims about “extremists” is this: What are Islam’s views on violence and terror when so many of its adherents, both rich and poor, get the impression that such behaviour is acceptable, and actually believe that it gets them a free ticket to paradise?</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">My third point is that it should be glaringly evident that Islam has serious democratic deficiencies, considering that outspoken critics of this ideology are routinely targeted both verbally and physically by Muslims all over the world. It is simply intellectual laziness to accept the dishonest claim that these attacks are carried out by a few radicals who misuse their religion. If it had been one or two isolated incidents, then perhaps this claim could be considered, but these episodes occur on a daily basis, and they occur all over the world.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">In other words, it’s a systematic tactic used to silence criticism of Islam. Thus, it is part and parcel of Islam’s overall strategy to implement its policies wherever it has a noticeable presence. What other conclusions can be drawn when reading about authors, politicians and activists who have had to go into hiding, or who live under 24 hour police protection for speaking out against this religion, let alone the numerous individuals who have been killed for doing so? It should be clear to anyone that these individuals are being subjected to methods that are otherwise only used by mafia groups. Any organization that utilizes such tactics would in any other circumstances rightfully be labelled as a criminal entity and be dealt with accordingly.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">The fourth point that I would like to make is that the claim that ISIS is misusing Islam and that its members aren’t true Muslims can be dismissed purely on logical grounds. In fact, it is a ludicrous argument, given the number of devout Muslims from all corners of the globe that voluntarily flock to join its ranks. And we’re not talking about a few handfuls here and there, but tens of thousands of individuals. Statistical data also corroborate this widespread support for ISIS among Muslim communities all over the world, so the idea that ISIS is un-Islamic falls by its own logic.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">Thus, from a rational perspective, ISIS cannot be dismissed as having nothing to do with Islam. If that were the case, then devout Muslims would not migrate to the Caliphate in such large numbers. In fact, that would be just as unlikely as seeing tens of thousands of US conservatives move to Venezuela because they believed that the political system of that particular country was pure capitalism.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">My fifth point concerns an aspect that is very obvious, but which many people for some strange reason still seem to have immense difficulties wrapping their heads around. The point is as follows: Muslims who insist on following Islamic law, regardless to what extent, and who advocate the covering up of females in burkas and hijabs, are never going to integrate into our societies. Nor are they going to embrace Western liberal values.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">What logical conclusions can be deduced from this little nugget of information? Well, in plain English it means that they reject our laws and our way of life. It means that they do not value freedom of speech and democracy. It could not be made any clearer unless they started holding up big placards stating as much (which they often do). This is of course a very troubling thought, and it should cause some warning lights to flash, because this invariably puts a huge strain on these values, and over time as the Muslim population grows in the West the same values will start to erode rapidly.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">The above observations are just a few of the most obvious points that should be self-evident even to people who have no knowledge of Islamic doctrine. When adding everything up, and doing so without tainting the bottom line with politically correct bias, people should be led to the realization that Islam has some serious issues with Western concepts such as freedom of speech, equality and democracy. That again should lead people to the realization that Islam is a dangerous and totalitarian ideology.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">When taking all of these aspects into consideration it becomes very clear that Islam has a whole lot more to do with Saudi Arabia and ISIS than it has to do with secular Western democracies, or the sugarcoated picture that the so-called moderate Muslim representatives are trying to paint. Looking at the religion and the countries where Islam is practiced through unbiased eyes makes one realize that this ideology is nothing that one wishes to foist upon any society. Islam evolved 1400 years ago, and to be quite honest, that is where it belongs.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
Why has Islam been able to grow at such an unprecedented
pace in Europe, and why has it been allowed to do so practically unchallenged?
There are many reasons for this, but one contributing factor that has
facilitated this rapid growth has been the decision to artificially divide the
religion into two opposing philosophies with completely different goals and
values, which has transformed it into an ideological version of Dr Jekyll and
Mr Hyde. By firmly dividing its adherents (Muslims) into two distinct camps —
the extremists who are alleged to be misusing their religion and who only
constitute a tiny minority, and the moderates who ostensibly represent the
majority and who strongly opposes the extremists — Islam has managed to
establish a defence that is almost impenetrable, and that has fostered an
environment in which meaningless terms such as Islamophobia are actually given
credence.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
This clever distinction, which has in effect divided Islam
into a moderate and an extreme form, has ensured that it can continue to grow
unabated and without being properly challenged, as any terrorist attack
committed by its members can be blamed on the extremists and thus also used as
an argument to exonerate the moderates. It’s a form of classification or
“branding taqiyya” that has served the religion well, and given it a solid
argument that it can rely upon no matter what type of hurdle or obstacle that
is being thrown in its way.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The mainstream media and the political classes have
deliberately failed to call Islam by its proper name and actively undermined
any serious attempts to scrutinize and expose the ideology for what it really
is. As a result, the majority of the blame for the very precarious situation
that Europe finds itself in these days has to be put squarely on their
shoulders. These two powerful groups have been able to control public discourse
and sway public opinion through the extensive use of lies and propaganda.
Crucial facts that could have altered the course have been deliberately
downplayed, and in many cases outright ignored. Unpalatable events have been
omitted. The job responsibilities of the MSM and the politicians have largely
been transformed into those of campaigners who pay lip service to such things
as truth and accuracy — values that actually used to matter in the past. The
absence of an in-depth analysis of Islam’s doctrines, its history and its
stated goals for the future have left ordinary people blissfully unaware of the
dangers that this ideology represents, and only now when Islam has seriously
started to flex its muscles are they beginning to wake up from their
political-correctness-induced slumber.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
This essay will focus on the rebranding of Islam that has
turned it into something unrecognizable and innocuous — namely a predominantly
moderate and peaceful religion — and offer a valid and thorough explanation as
to why this is not the case. It will show that this artificial rebranding is
false, that it is unscientific and utterly dishonest, and demonstrate by the
use of critical analysis that the opposite is true. This assignment has not
been undertaken to further cement the convictions of those who have already
reached this conclusion of their own accord, but rather to serve as a wakeup
call to those who are still in the dark and have failed to grasp what should
have been obvious all along.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The first step in this process is to demonstrate that one
cannot logically divide Islam into two distinct camps; one that preaches war
and hatred, and the other that preaches love and tolerance. It is an absurd
claim to make, given that both camps are reading from the same script. This is
made obvious by the fact that a large portion of Islamic doctrine is dedicated
to the advocacy of hatred and animosity against non-Muslims. However, before we
can start to immerse ourselves in the subject at hand and initiate our
investigation, we have to obtain some definitions that will allow us to
describe the religion and the points that we are trying to make. The words that
we are interested in here are “Islam”, “Muslim”, “moderate”, “extreme” and
“extremist”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
A quick Google search gives us the Merriam-Webster’s English
dictionary’s classification of the word “extremist”:<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
“Advocacy of extreme measures or views.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The word “extreme” is defined by the same dictionary as:<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
“Very far from agreeing with the opinions of most people:
not moderate”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The word “moderate” is glossed as:<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
“Professing or characterized by political or social beliefs
that are not extreme.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
Furthermore, it is important to correctly identify the term
“Muslim”, as the purpose of this essay is to establish whether a Muslim should
be classified as an extremist or as a moderate based on the choice of his or
her religious convictions. According to the same source a “Muslim” is defined
as:<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
“A person whose religion is Islam: a follower of Islam”<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
Islam is defined as:<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
“The religion which teaches that there is only one God and that
Muhammad is God’s prophet : the religion of Muslims”<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
These are basic definitions which could be elaborated upon
in great detail, but which will have to do for the purposes of this essay. The
only thing that we are going to add is that a Muslim is a person who embraces
Islamic doctrine, i.e. the teachings of the Quran, the Hadith and the Sira (the
official Islamic doctrine). The Quran being the word of Allah as recited to
Muhammad, Islam’s first and last prophet, by the angel Gabriel. The hadith,
which encompasses the traditions of Muhammad (a supplement to the Quran). The
Sira, which is the official biography of Muhammad. The Sunnah (doctrine) is a
term that encompasses the Hadith and the Sira.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
Now that we have sorted out the correct definitions we can move
on to the next step in the process, which is to place practitioners of Islam on
either the moderate end of the scale, the extremist end of it, or somewhere in
between. A prerequisite in order to achieve this task is to be equipped with a
basic knowledge of Islam. It should be evident that it is impossible to refute
the claim on a purely scientific basis without having a basic understanding of
the ideology. As with anything in life, in order to make an informed decision
one has to be in possession of the relevant facts. It is also imperative that
we clarify what constitutes moderate behaviour in order to prevent undue
confusion. We have already offered a definition of this word, but we still have
not assigned what type of behaviour falls into this category. Normal behaviour
is also to a certain degree a relative concept, as different countries and
different cultures operate with different definitions of what constitutes
normal behaviour. What is considered normal behaviour in Saudi Arabia is not
necessarily normal behaviour in a country such as Canada, and vice versa. The
best way to overcome this issue is to use the UN’s declaration of human rights
as a template and gauge various behaviours and ideologies against this document
in order to ascertain on which side of the scale they belong.[1]<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
It should also be pointed out that normal behaviour could
quite easily be classified as extreme if it occurs in a society that has
descended into anarchy or chosen to adopt fascism or any other anti-democratic
forms of governing. In order for any ideology or political system to be
classified as moderate, in this context, it is thus imperative that it does not
violate the basic principles of the UN’s declaration of human rights, and by no
means can it be found to be in gross violation of this declaration. Hence in
order for Islam to be classified as a moderate religion, it is essential that
it can be categorically established that it accepts and respects the overall
principles found in this document.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
We are now going to take a closer look at certain aspects of
Islamic doctrine and bring attention to some of the more disturbing incidents
of Muhammad’s life, which will put the claim that Islam is a moderate religion
into serious question. We are not going to detail every single event or analyse
every single passage of its holy books with a magnifying glass, but rather take
a closer look at some of the characteristics that makes it impossible to
classify it as a moderate religion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The first hurdle that anyone who wishes to exonerate Islam
and label it as a moderate ideology encounters is the existence of a unique
judicial system (Shariah) which is a 7th century justice system based upon the
Quran and various instructions and commandments made by Muhammad throughout his
life.[2] To say that it conforms with the UN declaration on human rights would
be a gross misrepresentation of the truth, as it quite clearly violates both
the spirit of this document and pretty much every single paragraph listed
within it. The most egregious example is probably the Sharia’s view on
apostasy, i.e. members who wish to leave the religion, a transgression which
according to the Sharia is punishable by death. Similar punishments are meted
out for blasphemy, homosexuality and marital infidelity, which according to the
Sharia stipulates that the offending individual be stoned to death, just to
name a few examples.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The fact that these laws have been practiced since the
inception of Islam and that they are still being practiced in various Muslim
nations today makes Islam come across as a rather extreme ideology straight off
the bat, and it certainly makes it very difficult to see why anyone would
choose to classify the Sharia or any system that resembles it as moderate, or
claim that it has undeservedly been awarded the classification “extreme” To
justify killing individuals who don’t share your personal religious or
political views is an extreme act, and it certainly runs counter to the UN’s
declaration of human rights, as do the other issues highlighted in this
paragraph. The only logical conclusion that can be deduced from this
information is that the Sharia is extreme.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The second hurdle that the proponents of Islam encounter
when they wish to classify Islam as a moderate religion is the Quran, the holy
book of the Muslims. It’s a book that Muslims cherish and treat with the utmost
respect, and which they believe was dictated to their prophet Muhammad verbatim
by their God, Allah. The book is an integral part of Islam, and its content
gives us a good indication to the exact nature of the religion. The proponents
of the “moderate Islam” theory will be swift to point out that the Quran
contains many peaceful passages, and consequently cannot in good faith be
viewed as extreme. However, that does not change the fact that the Quran also
contains a staggering 109 verses that actively advocates violence against
non-believers, verses that condone violence against women, the subjugation of
non-Muslims and verses that justifies slavery.[3] Any of these acts can in
their own right justifiably be referred to as extreme by anyone’s definition,
and most certainly by pitting it against the UN’s declaration on human rights.
Some may interject that the Quran should be viewed in a historical context, and
maintain that the practices advocated in this book were commonplace and
accepted when it was written. That may be a valid argument, but is still fails
to explain why people living in the 21st century show so much reverence for a
book that advocates so much hatred and violence, and why they would wish to
live in accordance with the principles found in such a book. Based on the
numerous passages that promote violence against non-Muslims which can be found
in the Quran one is left with no choice but to categorize it as an extreme book
that advocates violence.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The third hurdle that proponents of Islam encounter in their
quest to exonerate their religion is the first prophet of Islam, Muhammad and
his life story, and in particular the later stages of his life which were
dominated by violence and brutal warfare. What sets Muhammad apart from other
significant religious figures such as Jesus and the Buddha, who were known
pacifists and advocated a philosophy of turning the other cheek, is the fact
that Muhammad was a warlord who killed, robbed, raped and had people who
disagreed with him assassinated.[4] According to Islam’s own sources, Muhammad
personally ordered the execution of 600-900 male Jews during the invasion of
Banu Qurayza and took their women and children as slaves.[5] He also had
numerous people who mocked or disagreed with him killed, and even admitted
towards the end of his life that he had been made victorious through a reign of
terror.[6] Furthermore, after his death his followers colonised and spread the
religion of Islam by force to large areas of the known world by following his
personal example. Some estimates indicate that this brutal colonization
resulted in the loss of up to 270 million lives.[7]<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The most troubling aspect of Muhammad’s life is, however,
not that he committed all these atrocious acts, but rather the fact that so
many people continue to worship him and show him so much reverence. Even today
Muslims consider Muhammad to be the perfect human being whose behaviour should
be emulated in every aspect of life. So great is the respect for Muhammad that
the overwhelming majority of Muslims are violently opposed to even having
visual representations made of their prophet, such as drawings, paintings etc.
Whenever such visual representations materialise, riots and violence are often
the outcome.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
Having looked at the three main aspects of Islamic doctrine,
the Quran, the Sunnah and the Sharia, and highlighted the problematic issues
found within these, it’s not unreasonable to classify the contents as largely
extreme. We have shown that all the three major parts that make up Islam
advocate violence, and reject basic human rights and opinions that are not
consistent with official Islamic doctrine. Such views can obviously not by
categorized as moderate ones; given that moderate is by definition the absence
of extremism, and they certainly cannot be viewed as moderate if we compare them
with the UN’s declaration of human rights. That Islamic doctrine also contains
elements that are moderate does not change the fact that there is an
overabundance of elements that clearly are extreme in nature, and which can be
found throughout its holy texts, giving us no other choice than to label the
religion as a whole as extreme.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
This invariably leads us to the last section and the
original goal of this essay, which is to show that Muslims who embrace Islamic
doctrine thus cannot logically be labelled as moderates, given that the
ideology they have embraced is an extreme one.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
We have already offered a very basic definition of the term
Muslim, as classified by Merriam-Webster’s English dictionary. For our purpose
in this essay — which is to establish whether it is reasonable to categorize
Muslims as both extremists and moderates — it is important to specify whom we
have chosen to designate as Muslims, given that the term is often loosely
applied, and are on some occasions used to include individuals who are born
Muslims in predominantly Muslim nations, but who don’t necessarily identify as
Muslims. The term Muslim as it has been applied in this case refers to
practicing Muslims; in other words, individuals who identify as Muslims, who
believe in the Quran and who live their lives according to Islamic principles.
It does not include what some would choose to refer to as cultural Muslims,
non-practicing Muslims, reformers or individuals who choose to identify as
Muslims out of concern for their own safety, of whom there are plenty given,
Islam’s highly controversial view on apostasy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
It’s also necessary to make a logical assumption: to accept
that most people who follow a specific ideology, regardless of which one it may
be, have at least a basic understanding of its official doctrines and stated
goals. This means that a devout communist has at least a minimum of knowledge
of official communist literature, and that a fervent Christian has at least a
basic knowledge of Christian principles, etc. Thus we should assume that a
practicing Muslim has a basic knowledge of Islam’s holy texts, and that he is
familiar with its official policies on a wide range of issues. It is therefore
also safe to conclude — if we accept these criteria — that a practicing Muslim
has a basic understanding of Islam’s views on unbelievers, apostates, sharia
law and the life of Muhammad. In other words, a practicing Muslim is familiar
with the undemocratic nature of Islam, but nevertheless still chooses to
identify as a Muslim.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
This is a very significant fact, and one that has to be
given the utmost attention when trying to determine on which side of the
“extremist” scale practicing Muslims should be positioned. It is absolutely
crucial to take political or religious views into consideration when
endeavouring to establish whether a person is an extremist or not, and it is
certainly an approach that is being used extensively by the media and the
political classes when it comes to classifying non-Muslims with whom they
disagree politically as “extremists”. The latest people to be labelled as
“extremists” by the use of such methods are US Presidential candidate Donald
Trump and his supporters, who have been given this classification based solely
on their political views and not based on their actions or behaviours. It
should also be noted that the views that have earned them this label are fairly
innocuous, given that they have not called for the extermination of political
opponents, the introduction of a fascist state, or advocacy for an
authoritarian judicial system — concepts that practicing Muslims do embrace
wholeheartedly without being stigmatized as extremists by the same MSM.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
Now the question that should present itself when taking
these things into consideration, and in particularly bearing in mind the issues
raised previously pertaining to the undemocratic and violent nature of Islamic
doctrine, is this: can a practicing Muslim’s belief in such concepts be
interpreted as anything but a tacit acceptance of such views? And can such an
individual be classified as anything but an extremist?<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
Most people would probably agree that it is not a sign of
moderate behaviour to endorse and condone violence and anti-democratic
activities; on the contrary, such behaviour is part and parcel of the mentality
of an extremist. To use a popular saying, if it looks like a duck, quacks like
a duck and walks like a duck, it is more than likely a duck. One could of
course apply this to Muslims and Islam and say that if the Quran advocates
undemocratic values it’s more than likely that a practicing Muslim believes in
and condones these views and the he wishes to live in a society governed by
them. It’s certainly a natural conclusion to make when looking at the facts in
a rational manner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
It’s equally natural to conclude that a moderate individual
would by definition reject Islamic doctrine, or any other violent and
undemocratic ideology based solely on the given ideology’s level of extremism
and its antagonism against those who seek to question and challenge its
authority. From this it follows that a truly moderate Muslim would reject
Islam, based on its general violent message. In effect he would become an
apostate, i.e. a non-Muslim. One could of course attempt to make the case that
a moderate Muslim could discard the violent and extreme parts of Islam and
focus solely on its peaceful verses, and still be a Muslim, but this is an
unrealistic assumption that fails to recognize the dominant position that
violence and jihad enjoy in Islamic doctrine. Moreover, it would render the
teachings of Muhammad completely meaningless, and severely question his
judgment and authority.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
We know that the MSM and the political classes base their
definition of extremism — excluding Muslims, that is — exclusively on political
beliefs, and label individuals with whom they disagree as “extremists” on a
much flimsier basis. Why is it then that practicing Muslims with views that are
evidently more extreme are being categorized as moderates? An honest approach
would be to treat Muslims in the same manner that other groups are treated, and
scrutinize and define them in a similar fashion. To have two opposing
classifications systems, and use them selectively for political purposes, can
only be described as intellectual dishonesty at best. The outcome of such an
inquiry is of no real value, as it has been obtained by the use of faulty
methods. Thus the term moderate as it is applied today by the Western elites to
describe the majority of practicing Muslims is a dishonest and erroneous
description of reality.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<br />
It should also be obvious that it is unreasonable to classify a practicing
Muslim as a moderate or as an extremist based solely on the violent acts that
this individual has or has not committed, or on the amount of extreme
viewpoints promulgated by said individual, or the lack thereof. Most people
would agree that extremism isn’t exclusively synonymous with violence, but that
it can also be applied to those who embrace extreme political and ideological
ideas, and who disseminate such. Nevertheless, this unreasonable classification
system is the one that the MSM and the political classes have chosen to adopt.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
If we accept that a truly moderate individual would reject
Islamic doctrine based on its overall violent principles, then the only logical
conclusion to make is that an individual who continues to publicly praise and
Islam and worship Allah and Muhammad, and criticize those who question this
ideology, must be viewed as an extremist, based on this individual’s espousal
of extremist ideas.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The next question to ask, then, is this: Is it reasonable to
assume that a person who condones Islam’s theological message of jihad is
sincere whenever this person’s offers a condemnation of jihadi attacks in the
MSM? It’s a scenario that we are able to witness every time an Islamic
terrorist attacks occur, and whenever the MSM are pretending to do their job by
pretending to confront members of the Islamic community. The answer has to be a
resounding “NO” from a purely logical standpoint. It’s also a conclusion that
is in line with what we have seen on numerous occasions when so-called moderate
Muslims say one thing when interviewed by media people, and express
diametrically different and opposing views when captured on hidden cameras.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
All things considered, it’s exceptionally difficult to label
practicing Muslims as anything but “extremists”, given their acceptance of the
overabundance of extreme views that are found within Islamic doctrine, and
their reluctance to distance themselves from these principles.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
Looking at it from an honest perspective, the methodology
that has been highlighted in this essay is the only sensible way to ascertain
whether practicing Muslims are extremists or moderates, and the methodology of
this essay is the only truly objective way to make sense of Islam and
practicing Muslims.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
The conclusion is that practicing Muslims cannot possibly be
classified as anything but extremists, given the religious and political views
that they espouse. It may not be what people wish to hear, but it is a
conclusion that has been reached by employing a rational and honest method, and
from now on the conclusion should be treated as fact.<o:p></o:p></div>

that comes to mind when observing current events in Europe today — and
especially since Angela Merkel and the rest of the top echelon of the EU
decided to go all out and demolish the already leaking floodgates that were
originally put in place to keep Europe safe from aggressive third world
Lebensraum jihad — is this: how far is a leader allowed to go in destroying his
or her country before someone finally steps in and says “Enough is enough”? Are
there any limits as to what they can and cannot do?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Judging by the mass
insanity that seems to have gripped the continent and the daily destruction and
irreparable damage caused to nations and societies that date back several
thousands years the answer has to be a resounding NO! There are no limits, only
the leader’s imagination or the lack thereof determines the degree of
destruction and treason that he or she is allowed to inflict upon their
nations.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

honest and call things by their proper names, and what is going on in Europe at
the moment can only be referred to as cold hard <b>treason</b>. There is no
other way to describe it and still expect to be taken seriously by any rational
individual. If you do a quick Google search of the “The legal definition of
treason” you get this:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">“The betrayal of one’s own
country by waging war against it or by consciously or purposely acting to aid
its enemies”.</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

the term “treason” isn’t difficult to explain, nor is it hard to put into
words. One doesn’t have to be a lawyer or well-versed in the legal jargon of
the judicial system to understand its significance. It is very straightforward,
and it can be condensed down into a sentence of merely twenty-one words, which
of course means that no individual can justify their treason by maintaining
that they didn’t fully comprehend the legal definition of their crime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

out purposely and which will cause damage to or severely weaken a nation’s
ability to maintain its national security must be considered treasonous, that
is if it is carried out and condoned by one of its own citizens. The motivation
behind the actions that leads to such an outcome is completely irrelevant. It
doesn’t matter whether it was done for humanitarian purposes, whether it was done
in the belief that it would somehow benefit the nation in the long run or
whether it was simply done out of sheer incompetence and ignorance. The only
thing that matters is the end result. The only thing that matters is the
treason itself.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">It’s hard not to draw
parallels between the current situation in Europe and what has happened to
Zimbabwe under the leadership of African dictator Robert Mugabe. When Mr.
Mugabe assumed office in the late 1970s the African nation was one of the
wealthiest country on the continent. Now, more than thirty-five years later, it
is one of the poorest. Zimbabwe has been on a steady decline towards rock
bottom, due to political incompetence, sheer stupidity and an insatiable hatred
of traditional Western values. One can of course describe Zimbabwe’s
transformation by slightly tweaking Norwegian anthropologist Thomas Hylland
Erikson’s infamous quote about white majority nations in Europe:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">“Zimbabwe has successfully
deconstructed its white majority business sector, and done it so properly that
it can never be called a majority again.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">No one can accuse Mugabe of
not having deconstructed Zimbabwe and not having done so in a spectacular
fashion. The only problem is that it plunged the country into hyperinflation
and severe poverty in the process. The changes took place according to the
book, and probably according to Mugabe’s own wishes, but the policies were a
complete failure which is often the case with radical political visions
proposed by politicians who have big egos but very little common sense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Angela Merkel and her
cronies in the EU are European versions of Robert Mugabe, and just like the
African dictator they have nothing but contempt for democratic principles and
people who oppose their insane visions for the future. They are dangerous people
with big egos who despise their cultural heritage. They have a treasure chest
filled to the brim with bad political ideas just waiting to be implemented, and
when they are, they will cause tremendous and irreparable damage for their
fellow citizens. Robert Mugabe gained notoriety for evicting white farmers from
their land and by allowing poor uneducated Africans to move in and take their
place. Merkel and several other leaders in the EU are following his example by
incentivising private landlords to evict their less affluent compatriots from
their rented accommodations to free up housing for newly arrived “refugees”
that Merkel so arrogantly, and without any legal backing, took it upon herself
to invite to Europe.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">And it didn’t take long for
the disastrous effects of this megalomania to manifest itself. Prosperous
nations such as Sweden, Germany and Austria are already starting to see signs
of rapid deterioration due to the stress associated with allowing thousands of
“refugees” to pour in across its borders every single day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Private businesses such as
hotels and boarding schools, to name just two, have been converted into
reception centres for “asylum seekers”. Local councils are pushed to their
limits with unrealistic “refugee” quotas that they cannot possibly cope with,
set by authorities who have shown absolutely no inclination whatsoever to
impose effective measures that will stem the flow of human beings who will end
up as permanent strains on future public budgets. Cosy little towns and cities
that are heavily dependent on tourism are inundated with aggressive young males
from the Third World, especially the Middle East, ensuring that businesses that
rely on tourism will take serious financial hits, which again will
substantially affect the local economies of these communities. Crime will
increase and the local residents will start to get despondent and look for
greener pastures elsewhere, as was the case with the people of European
extraction in Zimbabwe when things began to go belly up in that country.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Merkel and her cronies are contemplating introducing even more stringent
restrictions on those who disagree with them. Politicians in Germany are
advocating using legal action to hurt organizations who oppose Islam, private
companies have stated that they will start firing anyone who might be tempted
to voice unfavourable comments about the policies of Merkel and Company, and
state-subsidized left-wing newspapers are ready to finish the job of kicking
the living crap out of anyone with “deviant political views”, people who in
many cases are already lying on the ground after having being verbally roughed
up by the politically correct goons of the Left. Bad policies are not allowed
to be questioned or ridiculed, and those who transgress will have to face the
music.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

happening while Europe is slowly being transformed into a European version of
Zimbabwe. A continent of white banana republics where successful institutions
are being demolished at breakneck speed to facilitate the visions of the
mentally disturbed multiculturalist elites who show no regard for the damage
that their project will cause to millions of Europeans and their descendants.
And hardly anyone in power is taking a step forward and saying, hey this is
insanity and it has to stop. No one is standing up and calling it for what it
is, namely the greatest act of treason that Europe has seen in modern times.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

to go in destroying his or her country before someone finally steps in and says
“Enough is enough”?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Well, in modern-day Western
societies, leaders can do pretty much whatever they like. They can jeopardize
national security, remove national borders, give shelter to terrorists and give
tax dollars to foreign born welfare scroungers. They can go against the wishes
of the people and imprison political dissidents. They can destroy their own
nations and turn them into unrecognizable ruins of what were once great societies.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

because today traitors are not imprisoned and dealt with accordingly. Today
traitors are at the head of the tables in the halls and corridors of power and
political influence. Today the traitors are calling the shots. Today the
traitor has taken the place of the patriot. Today the patriot is imprisoned and
the traitor is lauded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #3a3731; font-family: Georgia;">Also published at <a href="http://gatesofvienna.net/2015/10/the-swedish-media-and-the-new-swedes/">Gates of Vienna</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #3a3731; font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The humanistic Übermenschen (journalists and
politicians) who are working tirelessly on transforming Sweden into Western
Europe’s first failed state must have been in a state of absolute panic when
the first reports about the deranged Trollhättan school killer started
trickling into the politically correct Swedish newsrooms recently. No doubt
they hoped with all their hearts that the sword wielding maniac who had donned
the intergalactic version of the Burqa, a sinister looking black Darth Vader
outfit, before going on a mad killing spree at a local school wasn’t a “new
Swede”, and in particular not one who was in any way shape or form affiliated
with a certain “religion that only wants to bring peace and harmony to the
world”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Maybe the Übermenschen of Sweden even went over
possible angles and ways to describe the incident while it was still being
played out. In their minds, that would at least lessen the significance of the
perpetrator’s ethnicity, send out a crystal-clear message to any Swedes who might
be tempted to make an issue out of the killer’s cultural background, and last
but not least severely tone down or completely ignore the killer’s motivations
should it turn out that he didn’t have Klingon as a native tongue, but rather
spoke an archaic desert language and followed an earthly religion that condones
stoning of women, killing of apostates and the severing of limbs, just to name
a few juicy details.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Trollhättan is a small town situated on the western
coast, not far away from Sweden’s second city Gothenburg, which has the dubious
honour of having sent more fighters to ISIS that any other region of Sweden.
Thus the Übermenschen who secretly feared that it could be the work of a “New
Swede” were certainly not unjustified in suspecting that it could have
something to do with ISIS and that it was perhaps just a case of the “war being
brought back home to Sweden”. After all, it was only a couple of weeks ago that
hard-core Muslims in Gothenburg showed their brazenness and demanded that
Christian Assyrians in the city convert or die. The Arabic letter for Christian
was even painted on the wall of a restaurant owned by an Assyrian Christian
family, so one can understand the Übermenschen’s fears in that regard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It must then have been very satisfying for them to
learn that their suspicions had been completely unfounded and that the mental
duress that they had had to go through was in vain. The sudden explosion of
endorphins and other happy chemicals must have resulted in lots of mental
“high-fives” and heartfelt sighs of relief when the identity of the killer was
finally announced, and it turned out that he was a white ethnic Swede. And not
only that, the killer was also an evil racist who had clicked on like buttons
of video clips praising Adolf Hitler on YouTube just as assiduously as they
themselves click on the delete button in the editor’s window of the readers’
comments section of their politically correct newspapers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Nor could they believe their luck when it turned out
that the killer was a big fan of the Sweden Democrats, which meant that their
prayers had finally been heard and that they at last had been given what they
had been waiting for for so long, namely Sweden’s own version of Anders Behring
Breivik. This one-in-a-million type of event is the equivalent of being dealt a
Royal Flush in poker — it’s a hand so potent that it is capable of silencing
any rational and lucid argument that would otherwise have to be countered with
an unconvincing and feeble accusation of xenophobia, Islamophobia or racism.
Now all the Übermenschen of Sweden have to do is to utter the word Anton Lundin
Petterson a few times and people will soon get the drift and think twice before
they voice an alternative opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This latest incident is worth as much to a Swedish multiculturalist
as 100 dead kids at a school campus in the US are worth to hard-core anti-gun
campaigners, or a couple of dead black criminals are to the “black lives
matter” campaign. The method is the same, the hatred is the same and the
dishonesty is the same. The only difference is the agenda, and in Sweden the
agenda is to silence any criticism of the new multicultural Sweden.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span id="more-37711"></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This is of course something that the
Übermenschen of Sweden realized immediately when they heard the
Swedish-sounding name of the perpetrator for the first time, which must have
been sweet music to their ears. It meant they could throw away the self-imposed
ideological restraints that they normally rely upon to present a watered-down
version of what passes for news in Sweden these days, and put a hard-hitting
pro-multicultural spin on the story. It must have been a very welcome and an
unexpected treat for them, considering that they live in a country where they
have to work exceptionally hard to suppress the negative consequences of the
policies that they themselves defend so vociferously.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">To the multiculturalist there are only two types of
crime being perpetrated in Sweden: (1) The crimes that affect the indigenous
population, which are simply swept under the rug and where the perpetrators on
occasions are given fake Swedish names to obscure their immigrant backgrounds;
and (2) the type that affects the newcomers, and which must be presented with
indignant fat bold headlines on the front pages of every single national
newspaper. And that is why the MSM in Sweden had a collective ideological
orgasm when they covered the Trollhättan case. It is the reason why they wrote
extensively about the perpetrator’s political views, his ethnicity, his hatred
of immigrants, his disdain of the established political parties, and his love
of Hitler and the Sweden Democrats. It is why they warn of the perils of
allowing the racists, Islamophobes and all the other haters of the hard right
to be a part of civilized public discourse in Sweden. No stone was left
unturned and no fact was deemed too insignificant for the MSM. Anything that
was considered to be beneficial in combatting “xenophobia” was put on the table
and considered fair game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Compare that to another incident of senseless knife
violence that took place in August when a failed asylum seeker went
“Swede-hunting” at a local Ikea store and managed to kill a middle-aged mother
and her son with a kitchen knife, nearly succeeding in decapitating the poor
woman before he was finally subdued</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. In that case the media showed “great
restraint” and did not brand it as a racist crime, despite the fact that the
asylum seeker had hinted beforehand that he was looking for Swedes to unleash
his anger upon. In fact, the media didn’t focus too much on the perpetrator’s
political motives, other than pointing out that he was unhappy with his asylum
application. They focused even less on his ethnicity and they certainly did not
deem it necessary to encourage the immigrant community in Sweden to combat
Swede-o-phobia, which is clearly widespread in certain circles. Nor did the
media encourage the immigrant community to take a long hard look at itself and
suggest that they should feel ashamed about how evil they are, despise their
racist cultural “baggage” and embrace traditional Swedishness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The two cases are almost identical, but the only one
that ordinary Swedes are allowed to feel angry about is the one involving the
white Swedish killer. It is sad, it is highly dishonest, and it really tells
you all you need to know about the MSM in Sweden.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Lastly, it’s also worth pointing out the shocking
double standards of the Swedish authorities when it comes to dealing with
similar incidents perpetrated by Swedish citizens abroad. Given the two
incidents mentioned above and the way the authorities dealt with them at the
time, which is of course what you would expect of a First-World nation, it’s
rather peculiar that they don’t crack down on returning ISIS fighters, many of
whom have committed horrendous crimes that make the two aforementioned cases
pale in comparison. The consequence of the current Swedish practice in this
regard is that both perpetrators, the IKEA killer and the Trollhättan killer
would have been able to return to Sweden without fear of being prosecuted had they
carried out their atrocities in Syria or some other Islamic hellhole, and
provided that they had taken the proper measures to disguise their true
identities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Known Swedish ISIS fighters can today freely return to
Sweden from Syria without fear of being arrested and prosecuted for their
crimes. A few of them have even returned to Sweden for free hospital treatment
after being injured on the battlefield. But don’t worry; you’re not going to
read any outraged articles about it penned by the people who vented their anger
on Swedish society by pushing the Trollhättan killer in front of them. They are
only interested in exposing “Swedish” racism, not in “stigmatizing” “peaceful”
Muslims.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Most people learn from an early age that money doesn’t
grow on trees. And nowhere is that more true when it comes to paying for
cultural enrichment, which is a lesson that Norwegian Prime Minister Erna
Solberg learned the hard way the other day when she had to <a href="http://www.newsinenglish.no/2015/10/13/solberg-warns-of-high-refugee-cost/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">inform the Norwegian Parliament</span></a> that the estimated costs of
processing the enormous influx of so-called “asylum seekers” would reach a
staggering US $6 billion over the next five years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And to add to Mrs Solberg’s woes, this is occurring at
a time when Norwegian oil revenues have taken a severe blow, resulting in tens
of thousands of Norwegians <a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/okonomi/Oljekutt-sender-tusenvis-over-i-nye-jobber-7915149.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">losing their lavishly-paid jobs</span></a> in the Norwegian oil
industry. More and more young Norwegians have been joining the ranks of the
unemployed, and have to rely on social handouts from the government to get by.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What could possibly be better then than to spend
billions of dollars on hordes of people from the Third World — mostly Muslims —
who are borderline illiterates, who have no intention of contributing to
society and who are only looking for a rich and gullible sugar-daddy nation in
the West that they and their extended clan can scrounge off?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Well, according to the Left, nothing could be better,
because they are literally walking on sunshine these days. They are
enthusiastically encouraging Norwegians to join in what has colloquially been
dubbed a “working bee” by the MSM, to ensure that the influx of future welfare
recipients is dealt with as proficiently and smoothly as possible. The
prospects of importing hundreds if not thousands of hard-core terrorists who
could destabilize the country and cause serious mayhem doesn’t seem to faze
them in the slightest. In fact, they are much more concerned that the police in
Norway are now <a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2014/12/04/nyheter/bevepningsdebatten/bevepnet_politi/36564643/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">carrying firearms at all times</span></a>, a safety measure that was
introduced late last year due to the increased threat level, and a direct
consequence of by the Left’s aggressive pursuit of a multicultural society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Hardly a day goes by when there isn’t a frenzied
reference in the MSM by a left-wing diehard about the outrageousness of an
armed police force and the possibility that a member of the police could
actually shoot and harm a violent criminal who took it upon himself to go
berserk on a crowded street with a samurai sword, a box cutter or some other
exotic type of bowel-slicer. But then again, these are the people that were
outraged over suggestions that Anders Behring Breivik should have been taken
out by a sniper’s bullet when he went on his mad killing spree on Utøya Island
in 2011, so what else can you really expect?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Cultural enrichment” is, of course, a term coined to
mock the multiculturalists’ outrageous claim that importing hordes of people
with diametrically opposing views and values is a smart and decent thing to do.
And no, we’re not talking about importing people who think that capitalism is
superior to Norwegian social democracy, or people who prefer football over
cross-country skiing, but rather individuals from “exciting” cultures where
it’s considered completely acceptable to stone women to death and hang gays
from mobile cranes. To kill people who decide to leave Islam or who have the
temerity to offend the prophet Muhammad’s honour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you look at it from a completely rational point of
view, you’ll find that today’s cultural enrichment is just as beneficial as the
Black Death was in 14th century Europe. The reality is that this enrichment is
slowly destroying our culture and our way of life, and just like the Black
Death it is spreading like a malignant cancer, which the decision-makers are
doing their utmost to ignore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span id="more-37603"></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The whole Western world was in an uproar
when <a href="http://www.news.com.au/world/report-islamic-state-jihadists-blow-up-ancient-temple-of-bel-in-palmyra/story-fndir2ev-1227506938301" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">ISIS blew up relics</span></a> from the ancient Greco-Roman
civilization in Palmyra earlier this year, but when Norwegian and European
leaders destroy a living and highly vibrant civilization, and do it just as
effectively as the powerful explosives used by ISIS, no one even bats an
eyelid. The political classes in the west are more interested in preserving
memories of a long since extinguished civilization than trying to save the one
that is under attack at the moment. And, sadly, the cultural enrichment has
picked up some serious momentum in the last few months and it has now shifted
into high gear. People all over the European Union have begun in earnest to
discover what the term “cultural enrichment” really means.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">That is also the case in Norway, where a <a href="http://www.agderposten.no/nyheter/barnehage-ved-mottak-stenges-umiddelbart-1.1459660" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">kindergarten recently had to close down</span></a> due the sudden
arrival of a reception centre for asylum seekers next door. The straw that
finally broke the camel’s back for the parents of the children was a bloody
fistfight between two of the residents staying at the reception centre just
outside the perimeter of the kindergarten. This was an incident that was
witnessed by several of the children. Prior to that there had been incidents of
asylum seekers wandering onto the grounds of the kindergarten during operating
hours. So what did the local council do upon learning about this? Well, they decided
to close down the kindergarten, of course! The children just had to toughen up
and deal with it. After all, they can always find new friends at a new
kindergarten; and besides, what’s the big deal if the parents have to spend
another hour or so each day dropping off and picking up their children from
kindy?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">These might sound like cruel arguments, but apparently
they made perfect sense for the members of the local council.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Likewise parents are <a href="http://www.budstikka.no/skole/haslum-skole/lokeberg-skole/foreldre-frykter-flyktninger-pa-leirskole/s/5-55-172608" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">becoming increasingly worried</span></a> about sending their children
off on organized school trips to various campsites around the country,
something which is an established Norwegian tradition and something that
hundreds of thousands of Norwegian kids have done in the past and have fond
memories of. A recent newspaper article highlighted some parents’ reluctance to
send their children to a camp after they learned that twenty asylum seekers
were living in buildings on the campgrounds. As one parent put it, they are
worried because they have absolutely no idea about who these people really are,
what their mental state is like and what they may be capable of doing when the
kids arrive. And the concerned parents have a very strong case, to put it
mildly. Why should they feel at ease when the authorities themselves have
absolutely zero idea about the real identities of the “asylum seekers”? Figures
show that 90% of asylum seekers who apply for political asylum in Norway do not
have any identification papers. For all we know the camp could be the new home
of senior members of ISIS or Al Qaida. It is also worth pointing out that the
two newspaper articles describing the aforementioned cases were written in such
a way that the reader might question the motives of the parents, and not the
authorities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The increased pace of cultural enrichment in Norway
these days has also prompted the political Left to intensify its
mass-intimidation campaigns, in which leftists actively go after those who dare
to speak out against the official policies, with the intention of silencing and
shaming them. The more obvious it becomes that the policies of the Left are
failing, the more important it becomes to keep the situation under tight
“control”, that is, to make sure that the critics keep their opinions to
themselves and don’t rock the boat. Long-time readers of GoV should be very
familiar with the methods employed by the Norwegian inquisitors, their tenacity
and the unbridled pleasure they take in destroying the reputations of decent
people whose only crime is to have opposing political views.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">One of those unlucky individuals who ended up in the
crosshairs of the political left recently is Hege Storhaug, a long-time critic
of Islam and a vocal opponent of the Norwegian authorities’ head-in-the sand
approach when it comes to dealing with multiculturalism and Islam. She is one
of the co-founders of the Norwegian think tank Human Rights Service, and is
thus frequently in the media discussing reports written by HRS, talking about
surveys commissioned by the organization, or just commenting on issues dealing
with multiculturalism and Islam. In this capacity, she has stepped on quite a
few toes, and the MSM have finally decided that it is payback time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It came in the form of an extremely vile hit piece published
in <a href="http://www.itromso.no/nyheter/article11613657.ece?fb_comment_id=708222792611065_708248465941831&comment_id=708248465941831&offset=0&total_comments=4#f4358a2bc">Itromso</a> a few weeks ago, where the author of the editorial even went so far
as to compare HRS and Hege Storhaug with Norwegian wartime collaborators, Jew
haters and Nazis during WW2 in German-occupied Norway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The piece ended with a cryptic remark about the fact
that many Norwegian wartime collaborators were shot at the end of the war for
their treason.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This prompted Kjetil Rolness, a Norwegian sociologist
and a social commentator to <a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2015/10/03/kultur/helgekommentaren/politikk/samfunn/religion/41328831/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">pen an op-ed</span></a> entitled “The hatred directed at Hege
Storhaug” in which he described in great detail the venomous vitriol that is
constantly being hurled at her by members of the political Left, the cowardly
guilt-by-association tactics that they use, and the fact that no one can refute
the facts and figures that are presented by Storhaug and HRS in the reports
that they publish. Rolness also correctly pointed out that this hatred will
make ordinary people afraid of talking positively about Storhaug, and make them
think twice about liking any of her articles posted on social media. The Left
has in essence succeeded in making her name synonymous with the bogeyman, which
of course was the ultimate goal and the sole motive behind the intimidation
campaign. Rolness’ op-ed was published a few days after the hit piece appeared
in iTromso, and it has generated massive ripples in the MSM and on social media
in Norway. It is still being hotly debated today, with the usual “racist”,
“Islamophobe” and “hater” epithets thrown in for free by Rolness’ and
Storhaug’s detractors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is also worth mentioning that until recently HRS
have received yearly state subsidies from the authorities that have allowed
them to keep the organization afloat (pretty much every Norwegian organization
receives some type of subsidies, and this is governed by law). HRS’s subsidies,
however, look set to be revoked after massive political pressure from powerful
forces on the left. One Norwegian politician from the Socialist Left, Audun
Lysbakken, actually broke protocol a few years ago and <a href="http://www.itromso.no/nyheter/article11616728.ece" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">ordered
the subsidies of the think tank cut in half</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This prompted the leadership of HRS to contact the
well-known FrP politician (Progress Party) Carl I Hagen, whose party at the
time held the power of balance in the Oslo City Council. Hagen consequently
made it a condition that HRS subsidies be reinstated in full in return for
continued FrP support for the annual Council budgets in the capital.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">However, after the recent local elections in Norway,
where FrP lost support in the city of Oslo, and the left made considerable
gains, proposals have yet again surfaced to <a href="http://www.osloby.no/Kutter-hele-Oslo-stotten-til-Human-Rights-Service-8175898.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">revoke HRS’s financial support</span></a>, which of course is
crystal-clear proof that the official subsidies in Norway are political in
nature. It clearly shows that any organization that dares to oppose the
official line on certain issues stand to lose its funding at any moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This is a good reason to scrap the entire system and
abolish state subsidies altogether which, would guarantee the independence of
these organizations and kill any questions of political meddling. Nevertheless,
that is irrelevant in this particular context.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Another person who has involuntarily ended up in the
media recently is Hanne Tolg, a Norwegian British-based writer for the
Norwegian conservative website Document.no. This website and its founder Hans
Rustad became famous after the 22/7 attacks due to the fact that Breivik had
posted a couple of dozen non-violent and completely ordinary comments in their
discussion section. For this Document.no was absolutely trashed in the MSM in
the months following the attacks. The fact that ABB had also written dozens of
comments in the MSM was quickly swept under the rug, because there is no reason
to “get caught up in details”. Anyway, the reason why Hanne Tolg ended up in
the MSM was that she was literally <a href="https://www.document.no/2015/10/nar-meningene-dine-koster-deg-jobben/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">pressured to resign from her job</span></a> in Wales after someone
requested information about her employer and justified this by referring to the
Freedom of Information Act, and used Tolg’s name as the reason.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This subsequently led to suspicion and additional
investigation by her employer, who soon discovered that she had been writing
articles for Document.no. The articles that Tolg had penned were average,
ordinary conservative articles of the type you would expect to find in a
run-of-the-mill conservative British or American magazine. However, this had no
bearing on her case, nor did the fact that she had never encouraged violence,
illegality, etc. The thing that became the focus of attention was that
Document.no “had been ABB’s favourite website and one where he had posted
several comments”. This is apparently what kick-started the official investigation
by her employer, a local fire station in a small town in rural Wales where she
had been working in admin for thirteen years. What followed was a process that
can only be described as a protracted witch-hunt that lasted for several months
and that eventually drained her of her strength, and which finally made her
cave in and resign.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The fact that everything was written in Norwegian
obviously complicated the process, as her British employers were forced to rely
on Google translate and Tolg’s own translations and clarifications. In the end
Tolg was never told about who requested the information about her employer and
used her name as the reason why, and she still does not know who that person
is. It is not unreasonable to suspect, however, that that individual is a
Norwegian, given the language of the articles in question and the fact that
Document.no is a Norwegian website. It could even be a prominent person working
in the Norwegian MSM or in the Norwegian academia, but we will probably never
find out. One thing for sure, though, is that there have been several cases in
Norway where people who disagree political with others have contacted the
person’s employer over things that he/she has said or written with the
intention of causing difficulties for the target.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Admittedly Hanne Tolg wasn’t “forced” from her job by
a Norwegian employer, but the list of Norwegians who have lost their jobs for
daring to state their political views has grown fairly long, and more names
will be added to it now that the <a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/Myndighetene-regner-med-60000-flyktninger-innen-utgangen-av-2016-Lager-kriseplan-for-langt-flere-8192501.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">official estimates</span></a> of “refugees” arriving in Norway by the
end of 2016 have been raised to 60,000.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This is a far cry from the <a href="http://www.dn.no/nyheter/2015/06/10/1045/Regjeringen/enighet-p-stortinget-10000-syrere-ble-til-8000" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0563c1;">8,000 Syrians</span></a> that the Norwegian government so generously
pledged to accept a few months ago, before the local elections and after a
massive media campaign orchestrated by the Left urging the government to do so.
There are still many people in Norway who dare to oppose the official policies
of the Left, and there are still many who are unafraid to write under their
real names. It would not at all be that surprising if some of these were made
an example out of, for example by terminating them from their jobs and making them
unpalatable for any future employers. After all, we’re talking about “nice cosy
Norway” here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Twitter that Sweden is a failed state. It is a harsh accusation, but sadly the
person who posted the tweet has a point. It’s a statement that will be
acknowledged with approving nods by those who have followed the situation in Sweden
for a while, because it’s something that they’ve been able to see with their
own eyes. Deep cracks have begun to form in the Scandinavian country’s glossy
veneer and its shiny surface has taken on a smut-stained colour, and is turning
into something ugly and revolting. The familiar characteristics of a failed
state are there to see for anyone who are willing to look at it with honest
eyes. Admittedly, it does not fall into the category “Third-world hellhole à la
Somalia and Afghanistan”, but it is moving rapidly into the category “Full
speed ahead to Dungtown”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

perversely fascinating, to observe a country such as Sweden that has tremendous
problems with integrating its predominantly unassimilable immigrant population
— one that has seen massive riots in its towns and cities in recent years,
choreographed by belligerent immigrant youth who will soon make up the majority
population, that whose police officers, ambulance personnel and firefighters
are routinely physically attacked — decide that the way forward lies in
importing even more unassimilable immigrants who will further exacerbate the
country’s already insurmountable problems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

regarding the arrival of “refugees” in the coming years run in the hundreds of
thousands, which is absolutely jaw-dropping considering that the population of
Sweden is just shy of ten million. But no one in the politically correct
Swedish establishment seems to think that this is an undesirable scenario, one
that they might actually have to take some serious steps to avert. So far the
only ideas that have been presented are to raise taxes to pay for the invasion,
to take out loans from the EIB (European Investment Bank), and to raise the
possibility of confiscating ordinary Swedes’ private real estate in order to
house all the newly arrived “refugees” should the situation prove to be
“untenable” in the coming years — something which it most definitely will.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

out of Sweden these days involving newly arrived “refugees” who demonstrate
their complete inability to function in a modern Western society run into the
hundreds, if not thousands. But it does not shake the resolve of official
Sweden in its efforts to import as many “refugees” as humanly possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

only arrived in Sweden as a “refugee” in September 2015, manages to sexually
harass 21 women ranging from 4 to 69 years old, it is a non-issue. The fact
that he has been walking around on the streets of Sweden aggressively
propositioning teenage girls, trying to kiss a 4 year old and pestering a
69-year-old woman with the intention of placating his raging hormones is
suppressed and simply hushed up. The show must go on, and nothing can be
allowed to stop it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that the political classes in Sweden are working like well-trained ants to
foist on its citizenry, who are made to think being replaced demographically is
more preferable than being labelled a vile racist and Islamophobe. And this is
the reality that emerges when one opens up the nation’s floodgates to
“refugees” from the Islamic and third world. TV crews all over Europe have
documented numerous local “clashes of civilization” wherever the migrants have
decided to grace the indigenous population with their presence. Thus it should
come as no surprise that the “asylum seekers” keep up their behavioural pattern
when they reach their final destination, which in this case is Sweden.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for the Swedish National Railway (SJ).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

decided to wage jihad in the restaurant carriage and strike terror in the
hearts of the train personnel, to the extent that the latter had to flee and
lock themselves inside a service cabin, as they feared for their own safety. It
is highly unlikely that any “welcome refugees” signs and other effeminate
gestures would have done anything to de-escalate the situation. According to
the same source, SJ ordered its staff not to talk about the incident and
desperately tried to put a lid on it, and now claims that it never occurred.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

board other SJ trains that have been <a href="http://www.svt.se/nyheter/regionalt/jonkoping/en-till-polisforhor-efter-brak-pa-sj-tag" target="_blank"><span style="color: #473624;">reported in the MSM</span></a> make
SJ’s denials rather pathetic and desperate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sweden to face reality when it comes to Multiculturalism and Islam is
flabbergasting. The response is a little bit creepy, considering that
individuals who show a similar strong reluctance to deal with reality in other
areas of life are often referred to mental health practitioners and are
frequently prescribed heavy medication in an effort to alleviate their
delusional symptoms. In some extreme cases hospitalization and prolonged stays
in closed psychiatric wards are even required. There are several names for the
symptoms: cognitive dissonance, psychosis, insanity, or delusion. But in Sweden
it is simply the new norm, and is rewarded with a pat on the back. It comes
with the privilege of portraying oneself as a “decent human being”. Politically
correct Sweden is like a nation of closet gays angrily accusing everyone else
of being closet gays.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">If Sweden were a person and
had to undergo a psychological evaluation, a psychiatrist would probably
insist, after a full and thorough examination, that an extensive treatment plan
must be worked out in order to cure the patient. The psychiatrist might
attribute the highly peculiar behaviour of not wanting to face the consequences
of one’s actions to an abnormal fear of losing face. Maybe he would even nod
sympathetically when he was told that the tyranny of consensus is so strong in
Sweden that trying to break free from its shackles is akin to admitting that
one is a bed-wetter. In a society where everybody has to work assiduously to
keep up appearances, it must be excruciatingly hard to take a step forward,
raise one’s hand and admit that one is unable to abide by the strict standards
imposed by society — in other words, acknowledging that one is incompetent and
an utter failure in the eyes of society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

Maybe the people who pull the strings in Sweden know where it’s all going, but
realize that it’s too late to do anything to change the outcome. Perhaps the
fear of being labelled incompetent is too hard to bear, and thus they decide to
keep up with the charade. Losing face is something that people from all over
the world go to great lengths to avoid, and it is probably an instinct that is
hardwired into our DNA. Japan was known for its ritual suicide, hara-kiri,
which people gladly accepted in days gone by to protect their honour and save
face. Similarly in the Arab world, males will resort to killing their women and
children if these have brought shame upon the family, in order to escape the
humiliating fate of losing face. Likewise, in the Western world people
routinely commit suicide if they have been severely humiliated and can’t deal
with the possibility of having to lose face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

unrealistic to suspect that some of the Swedes who have played key roles in
creating the multicultural nightmare that is current day Sweden would rather
continue to deconstruct their own country in order to avoid admitting that they
were wrong. This would brand them as incompetents and compel them to go through
the humiliating process of losing face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to individuals like these if someone else took it upon themselves to sort out
the mess that they created? What would happen when that specific task had been
successfully completed? It would of course be reckoning day, and these
individuals would then have to face the music. If that is a plausible scenario,
then it’s preferable, from the standpoint of those individuals, to ensure that
such a day is never allowed to arrive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

representation. It’s a principle that the founding fathers of the USA succeeded
in introducing in the 18th century after a long and drawn-out revolution that
cost several thousand American pioneers their lives. Their European cousins, however,
let it slip through their fingers in the 20th and 21st centuries without even
twitching an arm to prevent it. The consequence of this momentous loss is that
any European citizen that today raise legitimate questions about the lack of
democratic process will, figuratively speaking, be hit over the head with
thousands of paragraphs, binding conventions and legislation concocted by
unelected bureaucrats, which the concerned citizen has had no say in shaping or
influencing whatsoever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

the way this lack of representation manifests itself in contemporary Europe a
few days ago through the Swedish investigative TV program “Uppdrag Granskning”,
which shone a light on some of the more disastrous side effects of one of the
so-called fundamental “freedoms” of the EU, namely the one that deals with the
destruction of national borders and the accompanying legislation that strips EU
member nations of the right to decide who gets to cross their borders and who
gets to stay. The program’s topic was the massive influx of Roma (gypsies) in
recent years and the enormous problems that these individuals are causing in
Sweden. The report focused primarily on the squalor and littering that seems to
follow this particular group the way a contrail follows the flight path of a
jetliner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

Josefsson, one of the few honest journalists left in Sweden, visited two
different regions of the country, a tiny little village in the Swedish
countryside, Högfors, and the heavily culturally enriched city of Malmö, where
he showed the viewers how the Roma have completely taken over their
surroundings and turned it into what can best be described as third-world
shanty towns. Josefsson also reveals the total lack of consideration shown by
the Roma for the rest of society, and how Swedish authorities deal with the
numerous and revolting problems associated with this ethnic group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

deal specifically with the mass invasion of predominantly Muslim “refugees”
that Europe is currently witnessing, it is still very informative and a
must-see, most of all because it gives us a forewarning of how Swedish
authorities will deal with the Muslim invasion when it starts in earnest in a
few months. The simple answer is that they won’t, at least not if we’re to
judge them by their response to the problems presented in the TV program, where
various government agencies and local police pass the burden of responsibility
for sorting out these issues among themselves like professional soccer players
during a match.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

program is dedicated to the devastating fate that have befallen the indigenous
residents of the little village of Högfors in the Swedish countryside, that
have seen an influx of approximately 50-100 Roma in recent years. These “new
Swedes” have moved into old apartment buildings that used to house Swedish
workers in the past and that have now been bought up by private investors who
are renting them out to the Roma. It highlights the legitimate concerns that
the primarily older Swedish inhabitants of the village have, several of whom
are too scared to even venture out of their houses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

inhabitant interviewed in the program tells the reporter that the problem is
getting so bad, mostly due to police indifference and inaction, that some of
the villagers have hinted that they might get their guns out and sort the
problem themselves. He adds cryptically that most of the people in the area are
avid hunters, and that the majority of the Swedish households have guns. He is
genuinely worried that some will eventually snap and simply take the law into
their own hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

program is dedicated to the large groups of Roma that have set up an illegal
squatter camp on an empty, privately owned block of land in the city of Malmö.
And just like in Högfors, the various government agencies and local police,
whose responsibility it is to deal with these issues are passing the ball among
themselves like seasoned soccer pros.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

segment of the program, and a scenario which will most likely repeat itself in
full when the mass invasion of Muslim refugees begins picking up pace in the
coming months, occurs when the journalist pays a visit to the holiday home of
an elderly Swedish couple that has been broken into by a Roma family of eight,
who have now taken up residence there. The journalist calls up the Swedish
owners, who are in Switzerland, while he’s standing outside the occupied
residence. The old couple tell him that they have reported the matter to the
police, but that they refuse to evict the new tenants because they do not know
who they are, i.e. the police don’t know the identities of the squatters. The
police refuse to do anything to assist the homeowners in repossessing their property,
and they actually insist that the 80-year-old man, who live in Switzerland, fly
back to Sweden and confront the Roma who are living illegally in his house, and
personally obtain the identity of every single member of the household.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">It is apparently beyond the
scope of responsibilities of the Swedish police to check the identification
papers of people who choose to reside illegally in others people’s properties.
The distressed owner also tells the reporter that they only recently found out
about the “new tenants” when their daughter showed up to spend her holiday
there and got the shock of her life when she found the Roma family living in
the residence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

should send shivers down the spine of every property owner in Sweden, because
it is a loud and clear message to potential squatters that the Swedish police
are unwilling or simply too cowardly to respect and enforce private property
rights in the country these days. The implication is that any property owner or
tenant can be denied access to his or her home if squatters decide to break
into the residence and move in. This invariably means that “refugees” who catch
wind of this information — and there are probably plenty who already have — can
simply break into a house when they show up in Sweden and move in, safe in the
knowledge that it will almost be impossible to evict them, especially since one
of the criteria for enforcing an eviction order is that the property owner
confront the squatters and obtain their personal data. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

apparent indifference to the basic rights of property owners is alarming and a
warning that the Swedish government will not hesitate to use special existing
provisions that allow them, during a time of crisis, to confiscate privately
owned holiday homes for temporary accommodation for “refugees”. The provision
became law during the civil wars in the Balkans in the early 1990s when tens of
thousands of asylum seekers escaping from the region settled down in Sweden.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.9pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

that the looming “refugee” invasion and the precarious housing situation in
Sweden, which will become even more desperate in the coming months, will be
classified as a crisis by the Swedish authorities. As a consequence, we can
expect to see the Swedish state begin confiscating private properties this
coming winter, in addition of course to “refugees” taking it upon themselves to
assist the authorities by personally confiscating properties belonging to
ordinary Swedes and in effect rendering these homeless, literally kicked out of
their own homes by the “refugees” that their altruistic government has taken it
upon themselves to invite to Sweden. When this happens, the circle will be complete,
in that a socialist state will actually take their political beliefs one step
further and follow the example of their ideological mentors in the Soviet
Union, namely to disregard private property law and confiscate the properties
of their own citizens.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

tempting to laugh and make sarcastic comments about how stupid and crazy the
Swedes are for allowing this to happen to their country, but the truth is that
we are all “Swedes” in the sense that what goes on in Sweden also goes on in
our own countries. To a lesser extent, perhaps, and in a slightly less
dhimmified manner. But remember this: the only difference is that the Swedes
are being chauffeured down the multicultural highway in a luxurious Bentley,
whereas the rest of us are driving along at a slightly slower pace and in
slightly more modest vehicles. However, we will eventually arrive at the end of
the road. We’ll arrive somewhat later, but don’t worry: we will all get there
in the end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Götaland County, Sweden is one of those little picturesque places that city
slickers caught up in the modern day rat race dream about escaping to. It’s the
kind of village you’ll see beckoning to you from screen savers on computer
monitors in cramped little office cubicles all over the world. It’s one of
those spots where time just seems to stand still and the inhabitants couldn’t
care less. It’s the kind of place where everybody knows everybody, where you
don’t have to lock your doors at night because you know your neighbors would
never in a million years think about breaking into your house to steal your
property, or heaven forbid, wish to cause you any harm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

world. You’ll find them scattered across the countryside in the US, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, England, Norway, Sweden and anyplace else where Western
civilization is still the dominating force. The people who reside in these
places might speak with different accents, have different mother tongues,
slightly different customs and traditions, but they all share some common
morals and values, and they would instantly be able to recognize the
similarities if they were visiting an analogous village in a different country
or county. If asked, the majority would probably also tell you that they like
things just the way they are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

view), the Kadour family, </span><a href="http://www.gp.se/nyheter/vastsverige/1.2838060-flyktingfamilj-valjer-att-lamna-sverige" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">newly arrived “refugees” from Syria</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">, see it differently. After spending less than a week in Hedekas, they
have had enough and made the life-changing decision to return to Germany, the
country they said goodbye to when they decided to try their luck in Sweden.
Mulham Kadour, the head of the family, has a hard time disguising his
disappointment while being interviewed by a local reporter from JP.se, which
has stayed in touch with the family since they first stepped off the Stena Line
passenger ferry in Gothenburg less than a week ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The family is back in Gothenburg, standing outside the central train
station with all their belongings packed in big duffel and shopping bags,
waiting for the next train that will take them back to Germany, when the
interview takes place. Mulham tells the journalist that he became frustrated by
the size of Hedekas, by the tiny population and the massive forest that
surrounds the village and just seems to go on forever. “Where are all the
people?” he sighs, admitting that others had warned him that they might end up
living way out in the sticks if they moved to Sweden. When the journalist hints
that the family could end up in the middle of nowhere even in Germany, Mulham
just shrugs his shoulders and replies that a small village in Germany is
probably going to be bigger than a small village in Sweden.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">It is quite clear after reading the article that the family had their
hearts set on being housed in a big city in Sweden and not a one-horse town in
the deep dark Swedish forest, miles away from anywhere else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Some people might find the ingratitude and pettiness of the family
shocking and hard to understand, and at first glance, this seems to be
warranted. But when considering the fact that the Kadour family are not
refugees, but rather economic migrants of the opportunistic kind, things start
to make more sense. Because the Kadours did not arrive in Sweden fleeing war
and persecution; quite the opposite. They came from Germany, one of the safest
countries in the world, in the search of greener pastures. The father, Mulham
Kadour, says “he didn’t come to Sweden just to get a residence permit and food
on a plate, but to get a fresh start and to create a future for himself and his
family.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">It should be obvious to anyone that such a person, an economic migrant
,is going to be an extremely discerning and fussy customer after travelling
through half a dozen safe countries to reach his final destination, and hailing
from a region where gratitude is considered a negative character trait rather
than a healthy one. Here we have a classic example of a person who has taken a
huge risk, put his own life and that of his family in the hands of cynical
human smugglers who don’t care whether you live or die as long as they get
their money. He has spent large sums with the expectation of reaching a
generous welfare state in Europe where, so he’s been told, the politicians will
say “How high?” whenever he says “Jump”. In all likelihood he has been
swallowing the fairy tales that the human smugglers have been feeding him. Why
would anyone expect such a person to settle for a tiny little village in the
middle of nowhere far away from his compatriots and populated by people who in
his culture are despised and viewed as inferior in every sense of the word, not
to mention the fact that he has in all likelihood been inculcated with the
knowledge that his own culture will eventually supplant and dominate the
Western one?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

would be dissatisfied with the treatment he has received, and would prefer to
take up residence in one of the bigger cities, preferably in a culturally
enriched neighborhood with a large expat population where he doesn’t have to
deal with the “locals”, where he can still cling on to his own backward culture
and not have to go through the hassle of learning the local language. In
contrast to a real refugee, would have called it quits the second he reached a
safe haven and would be overjoyed by the fact that he finally had managed to
find sanctuary, been given a roof over his head and food on the table. And
that’s the reason why Mulham and individuals like him don’t care for places
like Hedekas, and why many of them protest vehemently whenever they are being
sent to such places. Those locations are part of the old Sweden, the Sweden
that ordinary Swedes trapped in culturally enriched neighborhoods reminisce
about and secretly long to live in, and which “refugees” hailing from the
Islamic world want no part of whatsoever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

because they are your average run-of-the-mill “refugees” (Muslims), and their
actions and mentality show us why this so-called “refugee crisis” is nothing
but a gigantic scam. This scam has been running for several decades, and has
picked up in intensity over the last few years and has moved into overdrive in
the last few months. It has become a metaphorical runaway train that is almost
impossible to stop using conventional political means. The scam arose as a
direct result of timid political decision-making, third-world dysfunctionalism,
Islamic expansionism and downright European political cynicism and cowardice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

shores in a manner reminiscent of the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944 have
exactly the same motives that Mulham and his family had when they left Germany
and headed for Sweden, namely to seek greener pastures and prey on the
collective guilty conscience of Europe and its citizens. And one has to
conclude that it seems to be working out exceptionally well for them, judging
by the response of the MSM, leftwing organizations and some very deluded and
sheltered middle/upper-class individuals, the great majority of whom are women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

another opportunity a few days ago to witness a peculiar case of “refugee
ingratitude”, when </span><a href="http://www.jp.se/article/40-flyktingar-protesterar-mot-flytt/" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">forty Syrian refugees</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> in the
city of Jönköping lamented the horrible fate that had befallen upon them when
they discovered that they had to relocate to a different asylum center in
Viebäck, a smaller village “in the middle of the forest” to use the exact words
of the group’s spokesperson, Mohamad Fadi Kanaan. Unlike the Kadour family, who
at least had the decency to just leave Sweden without taking their anger out on
the rest of society, this merry band of forty (male?) refugees barricaded
themselves inside the building housing the local immigration department and
took their protest to the city centre after they were eventually escorted from
the premises, in all likelihood by the local police.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

must be extremely frustrating for the Swedish authorities, because the
authorities are very keen on shipping newly arrived “refugees” to tiny places
just like Viebäck and Hedekas. Places that are seen as remnants of the old
racist and supremacist Sweden, the Sweden of yesterday, the old Sweden that
will have to be wiped off the face of the earth in order for a new Sweden to
see the light of day. The desire to alter the country forever is so strong that
the Swedish Government is even contemplating </span><a href="https://www.avanza.se/placera/telegram/2015/09/11/ekofin-sverige-overvager-eib-lan-for-flyktingar-andersson.html" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">taking up loans</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> from the

The nine largest private corporations involved in housing asylum seekers made
an astonishing SKR 330 million ($39 million, €35 million, £26 million) during
the first six months of 2015, up almost 100% from the previous year. The
inflated prices and the guaranteed revenue source from the public coffers means
that there are huge profits to be made, and this has led some unscrupulous
landlords to evict ordinary Swedes in order to house newly-arrived refugees,
which ultimately means higher rental returns for these industrious and
patriotic folks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hell-bent on ensuring that every town and city in Sweden has an asylum center
inside its city limits, so that they can take part in the joyful experience of
getting to know newly-arrived asylum seekers from the Muslim world, and fully
savor the pleasures of having Muslims as their new next-door neighbors. Before
the mass invasion of illegal immigrants to Europe started in earnest a few
months ago, Sweden had the dubious “honor” that saw the largest influx of
“refugees” per capita of any country in Europe for more than 30 years. In the
last ten years that influx has been ten times higher than the European average.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sweden
is now receiving surplus population at such a rapid rate that building new
asylum centers and housing its residents in existing asylum centers is no
longer enough. New buildings take time to complete and empty buildings are hard
to come by.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

some serious brainstorming and come up with some </span><a href="http://www.expressen.se/ledare/anna-dahlberg/orkar-vi-oppna-vara-hjartan-pa-riktigt/" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">clever new ideas</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> that
will solve this troublesome conundrum. One of the proposals that has gained
some traction, apart from encouraging ordinary families to open up their homes
to refugees, is to house asylum seekers in the holiday homes of ordinary Swedes
in order to cope with the huge real estate demand. The irony is that many of
these holiday homes are situated in idyllic locations, locations that ordinary
Swedes flee to for a month or two each year during summer and winter holidays
to get away from the cultural enrichment that has been rammed down their
throats. Unfortunately, the idea also fails to take into account that some of
the newly arrived “refugees” are probably not going to settle for such substandard
accommodation, far away from the enriched neighborhoods of cities such as Malmö
and Stockholm, and often in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by forests or
mountains. Thus it’s of course reasonable to assume that there will be many
more stories about unhappy “refugees” who complain about their living
arrangements and lament their remote addresses. Some of those ungrateful
individuals will surely explore other avenues and see if they can find greener
pastures elsewhere, just like Mulham and his family, who decided to leave
Sweden and live off the forced generosity of the German taxpayers instead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

half a dozen democratic countries or so in their wake. The authorities in
Germany and Sweden are not going to ask them any inconvenient questions about
all the safe destinations in which they conveniently forgot to apply for

without a ticket, which means that Mulham and his family of five can happily
board the train in Gothenburg and travel out of Sweden without paying a single
krona. And they are not alone: numerous “refugees” have availed themselves of
this generous offer, which ordinary Swedes who are struggling financially can
only dream about, to make their way to Norway and Finland, where they have
applied for political asylum. It has caused quite a diplomatic rift between
Finland and Sweden, and it has rightly led </span><a href="http://www.thelocal.se/20150923/finland-attacks-swedens-open-refugee-policy" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Finland to accuse Sweden</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> of aiding human smugglers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

refugees ride for free on their trains as an act of altruism by the
ultra-politically correct Swedish state, but it could also be viewed as a sign
of weakness and a leaf taken straight out of the “how to act in the new Dhimmi
Sweden book” authored by the Swedish Police Department, who have implemented
the dubious policy of retreating whenever they are attacked by thugs and
bullies in order to de-escalate a heated situation. One doesn’t have to be an
analytical genius to realize that a situation would go from normal to
disastrous in the blink of an eye if railway personnel were forced to throw off
large groups of ticketless “refugees” who were hell-bent on reaching their
destinations no matter what. Easier just to look the other way and let the

course is inconvenient in a country where such situations are considerably
toned down. It is probably also challenging for the personnel at these
reception centers to have to confront the angry newcomers and inform them that
this is as good as it is going to get. The new “free train travel scheme” for
refugees will undoubtedly make it easier and much less conspicuous to move
unruly “refugees” from one asylum center to another and let someone else
somewhere else deal with the problem. All one has to do now is to transport disgruntled
customers to the nearest train station, put them on the first outbound train
and the problem is solved, without creating unnecessary headlines in the

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Although the Swedish authorities probably see this new scheme as a
win-win situation that will prevent unnecessary stress and hostilities, it will
probably also lead to some unwelcome and highly unintended consequences, given
that the housing situation is already dire in Sweden and will soon become
desperate. In such a scenario it’s not unrealistic to expect that “refugees”
who don’t have anywhere else to go, or who blatantly refuse to accept their
designated accommodation, will start using trains as a means of getting away
from the elements when winter arrives in earnest in a few months time and
simply decide to ride these trains up and down the country on a permanent
basis. It is quite common to see this method employed by homeless people in
cities such as London and Paris that have extensive underground systems running
around the clock. These homeless individuals will simply just get on a train,
find a seat and sleep for a couple of hours while being chauffeured between the
various stations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

will, judging by the hellish conditions that we’ve seen in places further south
in Europe that have been completely overwhelmed by the tsunami of “refugees —
it’s even conceivable that some of the “refugees” will take a more militant
approach and decide to occupy shopping malls, hotels, office buildings, railway
stations and even break into private homes in order to find shelter from the
elements and somewhere to sleep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

be anyone to stop them from carrying out their business, at least not if they
decide to operate in large groups. The immigrant-saturated Stockholm suburb of
Husby saw extensive riots in the summer of 2013, which quickly spread to other
parts of the country. Those riots might just be a walk in the park compared to
what could happen in the winter of 2015-2016 if things get really out of hand.
Unfortunately all the available data at our disposal tends to suggest that it
most definitely will.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

big Swedish cities this winter. As a matter of fact, don’t book a European
holiday at all, because there might be an uninvited guest staying in the hotel
room that you paid for when you show up…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">In the real-time tear-jerking mockumentary which we are being bombarded
with these days on Cry-TV and in the Bash-Whitey Media, hundreds of thousands
of uninvited illiterate, ungrateful and very hostile illegal immigrants are
gate-crashing their way onto the European mainland. It has been described as “a
humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions” by the MSM and the emissaries of
impeccable morals, who have bestowed upon themselves the privilege to redefine
what is acceptable and what is unacceptable, what words we are allowed to
utter, what posts we’re allowed to like on Facebook, which tweets we are
allowed to retweet on Twitter, how to express our emotions and when to just
shut up and keep quiet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">True, it is a human catastrophe of epic proportions, but not in the way
that the humanitarian mini-Goebbels of the West would like to portray it. It’s
a humanitarian catastrophe for the indigenous peoples of Europe who have been
told repeatedly that they have a moral responsibility to feed, house and
accommodate a sea of illegal immigrants, many of whom are directly hostile to
them, who most definitely will be unable to look after themselves financially,
and who will alter the cultural makeup of the continent until it’s completely
unrecognizable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">But this is fine, because this is exactly what the elites in the West
want. They see it as a good thing. After all, Multiculturalism is the religion
of choice among the morally superior these days. And they get to dictate and
pontificate over the whining and racists plebs who are significantly less
thrilled about the Third-World tsunami rushing towards them than they are.
These members of the elite share the same visions as their co-religionists in
the Mohammedan world; the only difference is that while in Islam the practitioners
prostrate five times a day, the practitioners of Multiculturalism bend over
backwards all day long.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

thinking, and they stop seeing the outrageousness of their actions. After wandering
around in a multicultural la-la haze for an extended period of time, throwing
the doors open wide and inviting people from all corners of the globe to come
and take part in the wrecking derby which is the slow and thorough
deconstruction of modern day Europe seem like the proper and sensible thing to
do. They also believe that slamming and bullying anyone who does not share
their views is the apex of human morality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Rest assured: they do not care that time is running out fast. They do
not care that if things do not change dramatically very quickly, the escalating
humanitarian catastrophe will most likely morph into civil unrest and
full-blown wars with all the nastiness that this entails. Nothing could be
further from their minds. All they care about is “our moral obligation”,
international conventions, dialogue, harmony, social cohesion and exposing
racism and bigotry “for what it is”. Feel-good words are more important than
facing reality head-on and exhibiting true leadership. Unfortunately, the silent
majority don’t hold them to account, but seem to be quite comfortable with the
destruction and misery that the elites are wreaking upon them. It’s a real-life
Greek tragedy played out on the political stage on a continent run by madmen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">But what we are seeing today is not a random unavoidable event. It’s a
product of a very clever military strategy employed by an emboldened enemy who
is high on Western weakness and obsequiousness and hell-bent on conquering our
lands and ridding them of anything that they perceive as having corrupt
classical liberal ideals. And sadly this is no longer a farfetched pipe dream
that will never see the light of day. It is within their reach, and if they
succeed they will introduce their religion and philosophy, which is as far
removed from liberal ideals as women’s rights are removed from the judicial
system in Saudi Arabia. If they succeed, there will not be any opt-out clauses
for those who are uncomfortable with a political system that makes the rulers
of the Stone Age look like modern-day progressives. It’s all in or out with a
bang — or a noose around the neck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

having to swallow the slow-working euthanasia pill supplied by the elitist
heirs to the Western civilization — pills which causes the patient to feel
guilt and shame and to despise his own history and culture — see it for what it
is: unrelenting demographic warfare. It is even the stated goal of the Islamic
State (ISIS), which has promised to inundate Europe with refugees in order to
destabilize the continent. Not to mention the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaida, who
have written this particular strategy into their master plan for Europe. And
also several leaders in the Muslim world who have brazenly and unashamedly
boasted about how easy it is going to be to bring the Western world to its
knees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The Germans employed similar tactics during World War Two with their
Lebensraum project, but they went about it in a slightly different manner.
Unlike the enemy of today, the Germans sent in their military machinery first
and then populated the conquered areas after they had been won by force. In
contrast, today’s enemies send in their civilian population and their
combatants disguised as civilians first, safe in the knowledge that a full
victory will follow just as surely as summer is followed by autumn if biology
is allowed to run its course. It’s a long-term strategy, generational warfare,
if you like. Just as the poor immigrants who arrived on boats from Europe in
America in the previous centuries toiled to secure a better future for their
offspring, the enemy of today will work hard to establish a fertile environment
for a hostile takeover of Europe, and implement a full scale Lebensraum project
for their people and a new arena in which to introduce their religious and
political ambitions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

travesty has been allowed to take place. The details are well known to anyone
who has not undergone the mandatory mental castration which is essential for
those who wish to have a career in today’s society. But the effects should be
obvious to all, and especially those who have a set of working eyes and a brain
that isn’t completely enveloped by the thick mass of multicultural syrup which
is being pushed as the truth in today’s uber-humanistic societies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

manifold, but mostly they are a result of a relentless political indoctrination
campaigns that have permeated every strata of our societies and which have been
extraordinarily successful in shaping the minds of the young and gullible — of
which there seem to be an overabundance of these days. This process, the
equivalent of a nonstop mental gang-rape from cradle to grave, has instilled in
the average Western man the notion that he himself is to blame for everything
that is wrong with this world, and thus he has a moral responsibility to
destroy himself, his own heritage and the future of his offspring, in the name
of reconciliation, anti-colonialism, multiculturalism and social cohesion.
Those who are unaffected by the propaganda and who speak out are subjected to a
more crude form of mental gang-rape, which also involves mocking, bullying,
telling untruths and destroying lives, often perpetrated by individuals who
lack male genitalia, or, in those cases that they do possess them, have very
low levels of testosterone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

speech, and consequently we are free and live in truly democratic societies,
but freedom of speech is a mere illusion if the consequences of using this
freedom means that you will lose your job, be completely unsuitable for any
potential future employment, lose your house, be hounded by the media, and
become the target of violent organizations that won’t hesitate for a second to
use force in order to reduce you to silence. That is, of course, if the
authorities don’t choose to intervene, by way of prosecuting, bankrupting and
shipping troublemakers off to gaol for the heinous crime of telling the truth.
It should be obvious to all that employing this same logic, one could also
argue that North Korea has freedom of speech; it is just that if you use this
freedom there it will be some very unsatisfactory consequences for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

has shown us that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword. It has clearly
demonstrated that words and ideas, repeated often enough, with enough fervour,
self-righteousness, mockery, intimidation and thinly-veiled threats, can be
more potent than the most lethal bullet fired from the most powerful rifle.
People these days cower when they are accused of racism, bigotry, hatred,
Islamophobia just as much as people a couple of generations ago would cower if
they had a gun pointed at their heads. As a matter of fact, the levels of
self-preservation these days have reached record lows, to the extent that if
someone indeed was to pull a gun at the new, modern, well-groomed Western man,
his first inclination would not be to try and run away or overpower his
assailant, but rather to try and engage him in a conversation in order to try
and understand the underlying root causes that led the poor assailant down the
spiralling path of justified victimhood rage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

subdue a country and bring it to its knees. One is to overwhelm its armed
forces by using superior military might, and the other is to create chaos
inside country’s borders by non-military means, which will unleash a chain
reaction of responses leading to a crippling of its civilian institutions. It
is this last scenario that we are seeing the early stages of today. If you can
create anarchy in a foreign country and overwhelm the armed forces and the
police, then you have severely weakened that country’s ability to defend its
external borders, and thus made it ripe for conquest. It’s a strategy of cultural
enrichment shock and awe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Even hard-core environmentalists will sometimes refer to the human race as a
virus that is slowly destroying our planet by its tendency to multiply at an
unprecedented rate, and by devouring all of the Earth’s resources. One could
use the same analogy and refer to the “refugees” that keep pouring out on our
shores in the same manner. These “refugees” have the same effect on our local
ecosystem — namely breeding at an unprecedented rate, devouring a great
percentage of our resources and putting the ecosystem out of equilibrium, just
as the human race, according to these hard-core environmentalists, are putting
the Earth’s ecosystem out of equilibrium.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

priestesses of moral justice who decide what is acceptable speech and what
isn’t don’t like biology, and they’ll mentally emasculate anyone who dare to
use the dreaded word or chooses to elaborate on the consequences of elementary
biology. People who spell out the basic facts, as presented in Charles Darwin’s
book “The origin of species” are vehemently attacked and given cute little
labels such as Nazi, racist, bigot, hater etc. which is often enough to stymie
a meaningful debate along those lines. But the proponents of mass immigration
are themselves unwittingly relying on biological arguments to justify the rapid
descent into the abyss, by referring to the aging population, the declining
number of babies being born and the effect that this will have on the
population in the long term unless it is replenished from the rich baby fields
of the Third World. I suppose facts are a good thing as long as they can be
used to prop up self-serving arguments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

full-fledged one in the conventional sense of the word, but an important
ideological victory, in which they have managed to get large groups of the
population to sympathizes with them and their cause. It’s like a massive
outbreak of battered wife syndrome, in which people have turned a blind eye to
the unpleasantness that follow in the wake of mandatory cultural enrichment,
and refuse to face the dire realities that lie in wait in the exciting land of
the future. The verbal and ideological assault have left us shell-shocked. We
are walking around aimlessly scratching our heads trying to figure it all out
while bathing in the multicultural euphoria spewed out by the mass media.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and if he had chosen to use the same tactics he would probably have had his
thousand-year Reich a couple of generations after his death. Today there are
thousands of Hitler clones walking around in silly little potato sacks in the
Arab and Muslim world who are actively availing themselves of this demographic
bomb strategy. These clones reminisce about the good old days of Hitler and
they envy his quick and industrial extermination of the Jews. But at the same
time they realize that a rapid holocaust “Hitler-style” is probably out of
their reach at the present stage, and instead they settle for a slow holocaust,
in which the wheel of time slowly grind away at the native populations of the
West, and eventually the victims themselves lose hope and give up the will to
procreate and the desire to defend themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

have a strategy are just walking around aimlessly in the dark, and will soon be
defeated by those who have thought out their moves in advance. The EU’s
pathetic non-existent attempts at solving this problem can be viewed as nothing
other than an open invitation to the enemy to bring the continent to its knees
and eradicate any vestiges of Western civilization and European heritage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you have a plan of your own. In the future, if sanity returns to Europe — and
it will probably manifest itself in the form of various military coups — the
best solution would be to invade parts of the Muslim Middle East and create a
protectorate to which illegal immigrants can be repatriated. If failed states
in the Third World continue shipping off immigrants in huge numbers to Europe,
then Europe certainly has a moral right to intervene and make sure that this
insidious practice is stopped once and for all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Marte Dalelv was subjected to by the authorities in the UAE — who sentenced her
to 16 months in prison for alerting them of her own rape — has by now made its
round through the various international news channels. The entire world has
gotten a glimpse into the depraved mentality of an Islamic regime that relies
heavily on the inhumane Shariah when it metes out punishments to non-Muslims
and women, whom it views as second class citizens. However, despite the
repulsiveness of the case and all the media coverage that it has generated
there is nothing unique about it. Women and non-Muslims have always been
treated as inferior citizens in the Islamic world, and this highly unorthodox
pardon should by no means be interpreted as a change in policy concerning these
matters on the part of the authorities in the UAE.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When people in Norway and the rest of the West rejoice at
the release of Ms Dalelv, they should bear in mind that there are thousands of
women who are in exactly the same situation, women who are locked away in
prisons for being raped or who are living under slave-like conditions where
they are mistreated, sexually abused and looked upon as subhumans by their
perverted and cruel masters, who draw their moral guidance from the Quran.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The fact that Ms Dalelv has now been pardoned for her
‘crime’ of being raped by the ‘generous’ and ‘benign’ regime in UAE is cause
for celebration, however there is no reason to celebrate the Norwegian
authorities’ craven handling of this case, which can only be described as
abysmal. When the incident was first brought to their attention they chose to
keep quiet about it, or to use diplomatic lingo, they decided to rely upon
‘silent diplomacy’ to try and lessen Ms Dalelv’s suffering as a convicted rape
victim in a misogynistic and morally corrupt Islamic nation which treats rape
victims like dirt. This spectacular tactic adopted by the Norwegian authorities
result in absolutely nothing, apart from drawing unwanted media attention to
the Norwegian authorities themselves. Instead of informing the media about this
incident in order to make as much noise as possible and to create an atmosphere
where it would be very hard for the authorities in the UAE to ignore this
issue, the Norwegian State Secretary, Espen Barth Eide, chose to sit back and
twiddle his thumbs while one of his compatriots was treated in the most
appalling manner possible in a nation that completely disregards basic human
rights.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It should also be noted that Mr. Eide, skilful diplomat that
he is, is fully aware that international condemnation and exposure is a highly
effective method of getting through to undemocratic regimes and can exert
considerable pressure on them to change their behaviour. Taking this into consideration,
it’s fair to ask why he chose not to pursue such an avenue. Why is it that Ms
Dalelv, who was raped in March, had to endure four gruelling months of sheer
hell, not knowing what would happen to her, when this matter could have been
resolved in less than a week — which was the case once the media began to sink
their claws into the case? Did Mr Eide completely dismiss such a possibility,
or are there other more sinister reasons behind his reluctance to apply such
tactics?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are, of course, a multitude of plausible explanations
for this cowardly display by the Norwegian authorities — who are otherwise not
afraid to criticize other western nations, such as Greece, when they fail to
treat asylum seekers with the same obsequiousness that Norway does. One
possible reason is that Norway doesn’t want the rock the boat in a region where
Norwegian oil companies are heavily involved. Nor do the Norwegian authorities
want to cast Muslims in Norway in a bad light and give ammunition to the
critics of Islam and Multiculturalism. It would have been very interesting to
be a fly on the wall in the corridors of the Norwegian foreign ministry when
the first reports of this case started to appear in the media. The ministry
must have been thrust into damage control in order to try and save face, and no
one can blame them for a lack of effort in that area.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Norwegian state secretary, Mr. Espen Barth Eide has
frantically attempted to portray the Norwegian government as a pragmatic and
result-oriented machine that is able to get things done. Mr. Eide has naturally
condemned the treatment that Ms Dalelv was forced to endure in Dubai, but
unfortunately for him actions speak louder than words, and the fact is that he
chose to remain silent right up until the media got a whiff of the story. He
and the Norwegian foreign ministry must hold the regime in the UAE in high
regard, considering that they didn’t feel the need to embarrass or bring
unwanted attention to the authorities in that particular country with such
pesky and insignificant matters as the rape and incarceration of a Norwegian
woman.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The fact that this case appeared in the media just before
the second anniversary of the 22/7 terror attacks in Norway must have been
excruciatingly inconvenient for the authorities, who have used the Breivik
incident for all it is worth in order to try and silence anyone who might be
harbouring critical thoughts about Islam and Multiculturalism. It’s
understandably difficult and extremely complicated to try to condemn and smear
so-called “Islamophobes” when the evil actions of the religion that the
authorities are trying so desperately to defend are delivering such a
devastating blow to the heavily glossed picture of Islam that they, the
authorities, are trying to present to the Norwegian people. The fact that it
occurred in a supposedly ultra-modern and superficially westernized nation, and
not in a backward and Stone Age-like country such as Afghanistan, probably made
it even harder for them to swallow.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another problematic aspect of this case is the way that it
has been portrayed in the media in Norway. The sugar-coated state-subsidized
version has been very misleading and very biased. The media is, of course, in a
position where it can spin a story in any manner it feels like. If it chooses
to do so, it can quite easily demonize decent people who stand up for basic
human rights and detest human rights violations carried out in the name of
Islam, and portray them as vile fascists and racists. It can also, however,
extol people who are undeserving of any praise and who should be heavily
criticized for their inaction and incompetence, which in this case would be the
Norwegian authorities. Unfortunately in this particular case the media has
decided to pursue the latter angle, which is not all that surprising
considering that the media in Norway on numerous other occasions have
deliberately muddied the water in order to serve the interests that are most in
tune with their own ideology and that of the Norwegian authorities, especially
when it comes to matters concerning Islam and Multiculturalism.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If the media had been doing their job instead of singing the
praises of the Norwegian authorities for their ‘brilliant’ effort in bringing
Ms Dalelv back home, they would have informed the Norwegian people that the
authorities have failed to take any decisive steps to secure justice for Ms
Dalelv. The only reason why this case had a happy outcome is due to the
international media exposure that has affected Dubai in a very negative way, to
put it mildly.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But then again, to be fair to the Norwegian authorities, one
has to add that the cowardice that they have exhibited in this case is not all
that strange, considering that this is the same government that so gutlessly
caved in to Islamic forces during the Motoon crisis, and that even took the
unprecedented step of sending Norwegian representatives to Qatar, a country on
par with Dubai when it comes to moral corruption, to ask for forgiveness from
Yusuf Al Qaradawi, the spiritual advisor of the Muslim Brotherhood, for having
allowed a tiny Norwegian newspaper to print a couple of cartoons of the prophet
Muhammad.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Back then the Government in Norway grovelled like a
perfectly conditioned dhimmi before the very same undemocratic forces that
earlier this year sentenced Ms Dalelv to 16 months in prison. Vebjørn Selbekk,
the editor who republished the Motoons in Magazinet, was tossed under the bus
because the Norwegian authorities were too cowardly to stand up to intimidation
by the Muslim world. This time, however, they realised that they had to at
least try to pull Ms Dalelv out from under the same bus in order not to lose
face completely once the international media spotlight started to shine a
little bit too brightly in their direction.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It has been a nauseating experience to behold the craven and
spineless behaviour of the Norwegian authorities, who only took it upon
themselves to act after massive pressure from the international media made it
next to impossible for them not to act and make demands towards the UAE
authorities in this matter.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Regrettably this incident is not going to have any bearing
on the political direction that multicultural Norway has already staked out.
Official Norway will continue to pursue its unrealistic multicultural policies
and continue to appease Islam, even though by doing so it is actively promoting
Islam and a creating fertile ground for a Dubai-like mentality in the country.
Ms Dalelv is now finally able to leave the Islamic hellhole of the UAE, and
will soon return home to her native country, but the sad truth is that in her
lifetime, provided that drastic steps aren’t taken, she will probably be able
to witness firsthand how Norway is slowly transformed into a Dubai-style nation
where Islamic laws and customs will gradually gain a more prominent position.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The only way for the authorities in Norway to save face and
show that they has some spine is to treat these incidents in the most serious
manner and show that they are strong defenders of traditional Western liberal
values. This can be done by taking an active stand against Islam, the driving
force behind the laws that sentenced Ms Dalelv to 16 months in prison in the
UAE, and not by pussyfooting around this issue and constantly turning a blind
eye to the actions of the adherents of this vile ideology. The only way to
regain a conspicuously missing backbone is to stop grovelling and appeasing a
thought and belief system that condones the rape of women, that encourages
second-class treatment of non-Muslims, and that rejects freedom of religion and
freedom of speech.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is probably never going to happen, but one is allowed to
dream at least once in a while.</span></div>

<a href="http://gatesofvienna.net/2013/06/gang-rape-in-broad-daylight-in-bergen/">http://gatesofvienna.net/2013/06/gang-rape-in-broad-daylight-in-bergen/</a><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The thing that disgusts me most about the political correct establishment
in Norway is the remarkable callousness and mindboggling indifference that they
show toward the victims of crimes carried out by individuals whom they have given
political asylum and who in most cases are in no need of our protection. Many
of these so-called asylum seekers are illiterates with little or no qualifications
and with absolutely no intention of contributing to society or to stay on the straight
and narrow. Many of them subsequently turn to crime and in many cases very
serious crime. The type of criminal activities that these ungrateful degenerates
commit to show their gratitude to the nation that took them in housed them and
fed them are often very violent and in many cases inflict deep physical and
mental scars on its victims. Still this is not enough to prompt the members of the
political correct elites to show any moral indignation or outrage for the problems
that their failed policies have led to. They don’t shed any tears for the Norwegian
women and children that are routinely gang raped, the law-abiding citizens that
are mugged and in many cases beaten within an inch of their lives and the
countless young Norwegian children that are bullied and physically attacked by
gangs of non-ethnic youths for simply being ethnic Norwegians. They have simply
chosen to ignore these troublesome incidents and in those rare cases where they
are forced to acknowledge that the problem actually exists, they simply sweep it
under the rug and try to ignore it as best as they can. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We don’t see any remorse on their part when young women and
children get their lives ruined by individuals whom they have welcomed to the
country with open arms. We don’t see any remorse when lives are cut short due to
minimal impulse control and a complete lack of moral and common decency in
those that they so arrogantly refer to as marginalised minorities. We simply don’t
hear about any outpouring of moral indignation for the ills that they have brought
upon their own nation by actively supporting treasonous policies and by
relentlessly pursuing self serving interests. The political establishment do
not and will not bat an eyelid no matter how bad the outcome of their policies
are, which does raise the question, what are their true motives and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>why are they doing this to their own citizens?
People who are incapable of showing remorse and empathy are referred to as psychopaths
in medical terminology. Psychopathic behaviour is of course frowned upon in the
western world so why is it then that such behaviour is so prevalent among the political
elites who hold the most important office in the country?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The fact that there isn’t a political will to ensure that
women can walk around freely in our biggest cities after dark without having to
worry about being assaulted and raped by psychopathic individuals from the
third world is very disturbing and it simply doesn’t make sense. Nor does it
make any sense that the political elites choose to maintain a corrupt immigration
system that sees the arrival of tens of thousands of individuals whose
identities cannot be properly verified and whom the authorities know absolutely
nothing about. Nor does it make any sense that these individuals are released
into society from day one, free to roam the streets of our cities and do
whatever they please. It is very hard to come to terms with the fact that the
elected representatives of Norway are allowing this to happen and that they continue
to follow policies which is fast depleting the nation’s resources and which will
ultimately send it over the cliff. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The fact that the political establishment don’t seem to care
about the wellbeing of its own citizens is appalling, but what is even more appalling
is the fact that the citizens who do care and who do have the decency and moral
integrity to voice their concerns are being vilified and demonized by the loyal
henchmen of the state, such as the state sponsored media which has clearly forgotten
how to do its job, which is to keep an eye on the authorities and hold them to
account for their actions. The medias response to any critical arguments are
met with accusations of Islamophobia and racism. They’ll use any excuse as long
as they don’t have to address the issues at hand, such as the spurious claim that
it plays into the hands of right wing extremists who seek to exploit incidents of
such nature to stir up racial and religious tensions.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The political elite who are ultimately responsible for this mess
will never take a step back and look honestly at the chaos that they have
created or to consider whether a change in policy is needed, unlike other normal
people who pause, reflect and re-evaluate their options all the time. Doing so would
of course mean having to question the wisdom of slavishly following undemocratic
recommendations of non-elected international organizations and to ask whether it
is in the best interest of the nation to go on importing individuals who have
no inclination or prospects of contributing financially to Norway and whose
presence there constitutes a serious threat to the future survival of the nations
indigenous population.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Individuals who question the wisdom of transforming a once
peaceful and prosperous nation into a very unsafe and violent nation, to set it
on a course of financial and demographic ruin and established it as a safe
haven for illegal immigrants from all corners of the world are not evil
right-wing extremists but caring and concerned citizens who have the best interest
of their country and their fellow compatriots at heart. It is not those who
question and oppose the political correct establishment that have altered the
nation beyond recognition. They are not the evil ones. The evil ones are the
people that have decided to ignore the clear legal obligation which has been made
mandatory for every single Norwegian politician and official representative of
the state as set forth in the Norwegian constitution, and instead decided to serve
foreign and non-Norwegian interests. Any politician that takes his/her orders
from abroad to the detriment of his own nation is a traitor, or to use a more fitting
Norwegian term, a Quisling. There are many Quislings’ in Norway at the moment
and many of them are unfortunately members of the Norwegian Parliament.
Hopefully they can be stopped before they are able to inflict even more irreparable
damage to the country that they are so hell-bent on destroying, and hopefully
history will remember them for exactly what they are. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One of the biggest fall outs of the intellectual decay and
moral cowardness that has afflicted the western world in modern times is the increasing
number of intellectuals who are no longer willing to speak truthfully on an ever
expanding number of issues for a variety of very disquieting reasons. When it
comes to issues dealing with religion, or more specifically Islam, many of
these intellectuals will do their utmost to try and convince the general
population that those who carry out Islamic acts of aggression and terror in the
west are simply misinterpreting their religion and that they are merely extremists
bringing their faith into disrepute. In fact this need to constantly exonerate an
ideology which is almost alone in producing terrorists today has become such a
common occurrence that one can almost describe it as a systematic pattern, just
as A comes before B and night follows day, the excuses follow every single act
of Islamic terror. In fact it has gone so far that people in the west are expecting
to be presented with such feeble excuses in the aftermath of Islamic barbarity.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The latest such grovelling exculpation was offered by the
British Prime Minister David Cameron and the mayor of London, Boris Johnson who
both maintained that the latest Islamic terrorist act in the UK had nothing to
do with Islam, despite the fact that the two Muslims perpetrators who hacked to
death the off-duty British soldier while chanting Allahu Akbar and then preceded
to justify their deeds in front of a camera by referring to the Koran and
perceived western aggression in Islamic countries. An appropriate question to
ask after having had to witness such exceptional example of cognitive
dissonance from the two esteemed British politicians would have to be; what
exactly is the true nature of the religion of Islam? What exactly is the
difference between the ideology of the so called extremists and the majority of
the ostensibly peaceful Muslims? One would assume that individuals who are making
such statements, especially those who appear in the media on a regular basis,
is at least qualified to speak on these issues and that they have the necessary
data to back up their claims. One would also assume that they have an extensive
knowledge of the religion itself and of the ideology of those that they prefer
to label as extremists. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Those who maintain that there is a distinct ideological
difference between the extremists and ordinary Muslims should really be pushed
hard on this issue and not simply have their remarks taken at face value by
gullible journalists who have no intention of pursuing the issue in an honest
manner, which sadly is the case today. Nor should the questions merely deal
with the difference in behaviour, but rather about the difference in religious ideology
and doctrine. What exactly is it that the extremists are misinterpreting in
order to justify their gruesome deeds and are these perceived misinterpretations,
according to these esteemed intellectuals, completely at odds with standard
Islamic doctrine? Anyone who has bothered to pick up a copy of the Koran and
actually read it from start to finish knows that it is an aggressive and immensely
hostile book. It is also a book that has numerous hateful verses that deals specifically
with the killing and subjugation of non-Muslims. This is a fact that cannot be
contested or somehow simply swept under the rug. Appropriate questions to ask
are as follow;</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Are these hate filled verses deliberately being toned down
by mainstream Muslims and scholars as insignificant or perhaps even discredited
as relics from a completely different time and era where different values and
norms were in vogue? Are the mainstream Islamic nations distancing themselves
from these verses?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is the Muslim world
rejecting these verses or are they in fact acting upon them and doing their
utmost to emulate them?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">These questions have to be answered in order to get an idea
of what is considered mainstream and acceptable today in the Islamic world. Are
there movements in the Islamic world that are vehemently opposed to the more
aggressive passages of the Koran and that are proposing that these should be
removed altogether, or are such movements pretty much nonexistent? </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders made a short movie,
Fitna, in 2008 which he posted online. In it he highlighted the hate filled
Koranic verses that Islamic terrorists all over the world use to justify their
attacks, and which they use to fuel their hatred for non-Muslims. In it Wilders
has juxtaposed footage of Muslims carrying out terrorist attacks in Europe and
the USA and the relevant verses from the Koran. Towards the end of the film Mr.
Wilders encourages the Muslim world to purge the Koran of these evil verses and
cast aside its hostility towards non-Muslims and take the plunge into the
modern age. One can hear, but not see a page being torn from a book, in this
case a telephone directory, upon which Mr. Wilders informs the viewers that it
is not up to him, but the Islamic world to carry out the necessary reformation
of Islam. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A fatwa, or a death sentence was issued for Geert Wilders by
the senior leadership of Al Qaeda for having produced the movie. The movie
received widespread condemnation from both Islamic and Western countries and numerous
Islamic organisations and individual Muslims in the west who wanted to see
Wilders severely punished for having offended Islam. Attempts were even made to
boycott the Netherlands and Geert Wilders was subsequently refused entry into
the UK to attend a screening of the movie on the spurious grounds that his
presences in the UK would infuriate the Muslim community. The hostile response
to the release of movie, which in reality is nothing but an suggestion to the
Muslim world to reform their religion and rid itself of Islamic doctrine that encourages
hatred towards non-Muslims, is a powerful reminder of the Islamic world’s view
on these matters, such as their view on the overall message of the Koran and their
unwillingness to reform Islam and bring the religion into the modern era. The
desire to carry out this process is simply not there, which subsequently means
that western liberal apologists who keep insisting that Islamic terrorist who
commits atrocities in the name of Islam have nothing to do with the religion
have a monumental credibility problem. If ordinary Muslims are unwilling to
disregard or ignore these verses that teach them to hate non-Muslims then there
is simply no evidence whatsoever to suggest that the Islamic terrorist who keep
attacking and killing in the name of Islam are extremists who are merely misinterpreting
or bringing the religion of Islam into disrepute. They are in fact true
representatives of the religion.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is true however that only a small minority of the Muslim
community in Europe carry out such attacks, but that’s not really a convincing
argument to rely upon as irrefutable evidence that the great majority of
Muslims reject such acts or consequently don’t believe that such acts are mandated
by the Koran. Studies carried out in Britain have shown that a large portion of
the UK Muslim community support Islamic terrorism and would welcome the
introduction of Sharia. It is also worth mentioning in this context a study
carried out in the USA which concluded that out of 100 randomly selected
Mosques in the country only 19 sold literature and other material that didn’t
encourage or condone terrorism and violent behaviour, that is of course apart
from the Koran itself which actively encourages both. The study also concluded
that the mosques which sold such violent material were also very vocal about
their support for terrorism and the funding of terrorism. There are also
numerous of examples of Mosques all around Europe that claim to be moderate and
embrace western values, but which upon closer examination, through undercover
reporting with hidden cameras, have been exposed to be anything but moderate.
The most famous case was documented in the British TV documentary ‘Undercover
Mosque’, but there are also similar examples from many other countries in
Europe.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Still the most accurate way of identifying Islam’s views on
these issues is to look at the Islamic world itself and examine the values and
morals that it promotes. When we do so we find that many Islamic nations are
run in strict accordance with the Koran and traditional Islamic doctrine and
that the Koran is relied upon heavily in both legal and criminal proceedings. It
also goes without saying that it is strictly forbidden to mock or question the
teachings of the founder of the religion, Muhammad, in these countries. We also
find that in areas of conflict and war where Muslims are involved, most
noticeable in the Muslim world, the more devout practitioners are carrying out
acts that are very similar to those that we in the west label terrorist
attacks. As a matter of fact since 9/11 - 2001 more than 20 000 Islamic
terrorist attacks have occurred throughout the world. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When examining the evidence out there that are available to
us, such as Muslim’s reluctance to reform their own religion, their reactions
to anyone who even hint about such actions, the way Muslim majority countries
are being run, the way they react whenever someone offended their religion and
the way non-Muslims are being treated in these countries, it is not
unreasonable to conclude that Islamic terrorists are not misinterpreting the
Koran, nor are they misrepresenting their religion whenever they are carrying
out terrorists attacks. They are in fact following their religion to the
letter. This is a fact that needs to be relentlessly pointed out in the west
and we need to do away with the standard mantra coming from liberal western intellectuals
whenever Islamic terrorist attacks occur. The first step towards defeating
Islamic terrorism is to realize that it is in fact Islamic terrorism and not simply
terrorist acts incorrectly attributed to Islam.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The grotesque murder of an unarmed lone British soldier in
London yesterday, where two Muslim males first ran over the unexpecting victim
with their car in order to incapacitate him, then got out and proceeded to stab
and chop him to death with meat cleavers like he was some kind of rabid animal,
and supposedly attempting to decapitate him, marks a new chapter in Islam’s
long running war of intimidation and terror in Europe in modern times. Such
vicious and barbaric tactics have of course been commonplace on other
continents for a long time now; hence it is not a major change in strategy by
members of the religion of peace, they have just imported one more of their barbaric
tactics to Europe and upped the pace in their violent struggle to create a
worldwide Islamic Caliphate. The beheading of Buddhist monks in Thailand, the
massacring of Christian worshippers in Nigeria and the killing of Christian
Copts in Egypt is of course old news for those who have ventured beyond the world
of the political correct MSM that for some reason find it enormously inconvenient
to present news that portray their favourite European based victim group in a
less than flattering light. This time however the MSM had no choice but to
describe how die-hard Muslims go about it when they decide to deal with their enemies
and it will most definitely not be the last time that they attack in such a gruesome
manner in Europe. I’m afraid that this is just the beginning and that the
mostly leftwing media is in for one hell of a surprise.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There have of course been other Islamic terrorist attacks in
Europe in recent times. Members of the religion of peace even struck in the
same city in 2005 when four fellow devout Muslims detonated powerful bombs on
the London Public Transportation network killing 52 civilians and maiming
countless others, and although that was a truly horrific act of terror I would
still venture that this latest attack was more gruesome in nature. The act of
hunting down an unarmed, unexpecting and random individual, and then literally
slaughtering the poor soul like a rabid dog leaves a far more profound and lasting
mental impression on members of the public than powerful bomb explosions instantly
killing whoever is unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity when they go off.
The fact that the victim was alive when they started working on him, probably
fully aware that he was going to be chopped to pieces with meat cleavers and
quite possibly decapitated, the pain that he must have felt is a mental image
that would make even the strongest of stomachs turn. This is of course something
that the terrorist and their sympathisers are fully aware of and which they seek
to exploit to the fullest, and the really bone chilling aspect of it all is
that their deranged actions can be justified with reference to Koranic verses
and various hadiths, a fact that the political correct MSM and the liberal
elites seem unwilling to acknowledge.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But it’s not just terrorist attacks that have helped to
instil fear and terror in the hearts of the indigenous populations of Europe. There
have also been numerous of intimidations campaigns in the last few decades in
which Muslims have attempted to silence those who don’t show enough deference
to this deranged political vestige from the Stone Ages. This has been achieved
by either threatening to use violence or in more severe cases threaten to kill
critics of Islam, and there have been no shortage of Muslims who have been willing
to carry out these threats, which have made them highly successful. Most people
think twice before they speak out publicly if a couple of wrong words could land
you in a world of trouble. This was proven once and for all when Dutch film
maker Theo Van Gogh was killed in Amsterdam in 2004 by a devout Dutch/Moroccan
Muslim for supposedly having insulted the 1.5 billion Muslims of the world. The
latest London attack is in many ways reminiscent of this incident. The
difference being that Theo Van Gogh was targeted specifically for his part in
producing the Islam critical movie ‘Submission’. Theo Van Gogh also knew that
he was making himself a target when he decided to start working on this film
and he had the opportunity to take the appropriate precautions. Yesterday’s
victim however had no reason to expect that he would be targeted and killed by
violent Muslims. He was not chosen because he had made insults against Islam;
he was simply chosen for being a soldier in the British army. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The fact that Muslims in Europe are now willing to attempt
to decapitate randomly selected members of the public<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and videotape the atrocity<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in order to instil terror into the minds of
the rest of population is a dramatic shift in a new direction. However, it
shouldn’t come as a surprise as this is a tactic that they have employed
frequently outside Europe, in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq just to mention a
few examples. I actually mentioned this possibility in an online exchange with
an acquaintance a few months ago. I suggested that there would probably come a
time in the not so distant future when jihadis’ would kidnap randomly selected
people in Europe, decapitate them and publish videos clips of the events online
for propaganda purposes as they have done previously in other parts of the
world. Individuals who are familiar with Islam and the mindset of its
practitioners, and who are not mentally paralysed by political correctness, know
that this is an inevitable natural progression of things. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">From an Islamic terrorist perspective Woolwich style attacks
make a lot of sense. It eliminates the need to acquire difficult to obtain
items such as explosives and firearms, it doesn’t require a lot of planning and
time consuming preparations and it is almost impossible for the authorities to
stop it, just like it is next to impossible for the authorities to stop
ordinary murders. The added bonus is that it generates more fear than a major
terrorist attack which requires a lot of luck to pull off for the terrorist and
a lot of bad luck for the victims to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Anyone
however could be randomly targeted in a Woolwich style attack and the terrorists
don’t need a lot of luck to carry them out. Another worrying factor which
should make the authorities shiver in their pants is the fact that more and
more devout young male Muslims return home from stints in war torn countries
with combat experience to match and with no qualms about attacking innocent civilians.
Odds are that many of these returning jihadis’ have participated in acts that
are just as horrific and despicable, or even worse than the latest London
attack. There are hundreds of online video clips of Jihadis’ carrying out the most
gruesome atrocities in Syria and elsewhere. It’s naive to believe that these returning
warriors haven’t participated in episodes of such nature. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another worrying aspect is that the authorities in Europe
are completely unprepared for this kind of warfare. One question that
automatically pops up when pondering this issue is whether the authorities are willing
to introduce new tough measures to combat this menace, or if they are simply going
to continue to let political considerations take priority over practical manners
to effectively deal with this very serious threat. If this latest terrorist
attack should become a trend among the more devout Muslims in Europe it will be
very hard for the authorities to stop them, and particularly if the authorities
refuse to look at the problem in an honest manner. The latest riots in Sweden
has shown the world once and for all that the authorities have no control over
the mess that they themselves have created and that the problems can’t simply
be resolved by means of political correct strategies. The million dollar
question is, if this becomes the new reality, how long are the people of Europe
willing to accept that they run the risk of being slaughtered by Muslim
fanatics every time they venture outside the front door? Fear has always been
the terrorists’ strongest weapon and a handful of horrific killings every now
and then are more than sufficient to instil an ample amount of fear in the
populations. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Unfortunately the silent majority still don’t seem to
realize the gravity of the current political predicament that we’re in. They
are unable to see that their relative peaceful and calm societies could swiftly
be plunged into chaos and anarchy if things are allowed to continue. Many are
also incapable of grasping that the authorities in most western nations have
already lost control of their societies. They should realize that if things
really start to go downhill in Europe and the politicians refuse to take the
necessary steps to deal with it members from the various military branches
could quite possibly decide to take control and proceed to deal with the
problems as they see fit. It’s not unrealistic to expect that military coups
could take place within the next decade or so, not necessarily in every
country, but at least in some. That’s how it has been in the past in times of
turmoil and instability and that’s probably also what it’s going to be like in
the future. I sincerely hope that this isn’t the path we’re doomed to take, but
with the way things are going at the moment it seem like the most likely
scenario.</span></div>

<em>Last night we <a href="http://gatesofvienna.net/2013/05/everything-you-have-learned-in-school-is-wrong/" target="_blank">published a translation</a> by <a href="http://someofmyessays.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Observer</a> of an article from <a href="http://www.rights.no/" target="_blank">Rights.no</a> about the violence and intimidation experienced every day by young native Norwegians in the culturally enriched Groruddalen district in Oslo.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Between then and now — in less than twenty-four hours — Rights.no was pressured by the original publisher to take the article down.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Fjordman sends this brief account of what happened today in Norway.</em><br />
<br />

<strong>Norway Keeps a Lid on the Truth</strong><br />
<strong><br />by Fjordman</strong><br />
<br />
Rights.no says that they were ordered by <em>Finansavisen</em> to remove the text of the Groruddalen story (in English <a href="http://gatesofvienna.net/2013/05/everything-you-have-learned-in-school-is-wrong/" target="_blank">here</a>), despite having originally received a permission to post it. They published a <a href="http://www.rights.no/2013/05/enorm-respons-pa-innvandringens-bakside/" target="_blank">follow-up entry</a>, stating that they had received an enormous popular response to the previous article that was nearly unheard of by the standards of tiny Norway.<br />
<br />
It spread like wildfire via alternative media on the Internet, including Twitter and many thousands of references on Facebook.<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<img border="0" src="http://gatesofvienna.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/islaminnorway.jpg" title="Islam in Norway" vspace="5" /></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
Norway faces national parliamentary elections this fall, and the left-wing coalition government is now trailing in the polls. Most of the political elites and the mass media do not want to talk about the problems mentioned in the article, especially not in an election year. People might get the wrong — or rather the <em>right</em> — ideas.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.rights.no/" target="_blank">Human Rights Service</a>, which republished this article online from the paper edition of business newspaper Finansavisen, is an excellent organization. However, they are vulnerable to political pressure because they receive public funding. Attempts have been made by left-wingers to slash their funding, but the right-wing Progress Party (Fremskrittspartiet) has lobbied to protect the state support for them.<br />
<span id="more-28372"></span>I believe they did lose some of their funding by the left-wing government after Breivik, since they were branded “Islamophobes” who had spread “hatred,” but I’ve heard that some of this was later restored. I’m not familiar with all the details.<br />
<br />
Of course, the many Muslim and left-wing “anti-racist” organizations hardly ever have their state funding questioned. Only the very rare organizations that criticize Multiculturalism, such as HRS, ever experience these kinds of threats.<br />
<br />

<div align="center">
</div>
The problems the article described — the harassment and violence directed at the natives in their own capital city — are very real, and rarely talked about as explicitly as in the <em>Finansavisen</em> piece. Many influential people want to keep a lid on any open and honest discussion of these problems, which are caused by the immigration policies promoted by the establishment mass media and the ruling political elites.</div>

Our Norwegian correspondent <a href="http://someofmyessays.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Observer</a> has translated an <a href="http://www.rights.no/2013/04/norske-gutter-i-det-nye-norge/" target="_blank">article from Rights.no</a> about the ghastly predicament in which young Norwegians find themselves within heavily culturally enriched districts of Oslo.<br />
<br />
Well-off natives can afford to move to safe, pleasant white enclaves, where they may send their children to school among white native speakers of Norwegian. Less affluent citizens are not so fortunate, however, and are forced to endure the humiliation and degradation of the Multicultural behavioral sink in which their political masters have consigned them to live.<br /><br />The translator includes this introductory note:<br />
<blockquote>
This report shows the real consequences of the enormous betrayal of their people by the ruling elites in Norway. Sadly, the same thing goes on in every Western European country today, and on both sides of the Atlantic.<br />
<br />
There is something seriously wrong with politicians who actively pursue policies that have such horrific outcomes. Nor is this ground-breaking information that is being presented in this article — it has been going on for a couple of decades now in Norway.<br />
The politicians know it, but they keep their mouths shut and let the vulnerable ‘youths’ pay the price for their betrayal.<br />
<br />
As a matter of interest, <em>Finansavisen</em> (which published the original piece) is one of the very few newspapers in Norway that don’t receive press subsidies. Every Norwegian newspaper journalist is subsidized by the authorities to the tune of $75,000 per year. Which is perhaps also why (as far as I know) no other MSM newspaper has covered this story — for them, Norwegian ‘racism’ against non-Norwegians is all that matters.</blockquote>
The translated article:<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>Norwegian boys in the new Norway</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Over the past few weeks, <em>Finansavisen</em> [Financial Newspaper] has focused on immigration and its economic consequences. We have commented on several of these previously. Last weekend the journalists Kjell Erik Eilertsen, Ole Asbjørn Ness and the photographer Iván Kverme left behind their calculators and computers and met with some of the individuals who are growing up in the new Norway. They decided to focus on the youngsters, Norwegian boys, who are growing up in the most immigrant-dense area of Norway — Groruddalen [Grorud valley] in Oslo. And they have produced an article that other media would probably refuse to print.<br />
<br />
Groruddalen is an area that covers four neighborhoods: Stovner, Alna, Grorud and Bjerke. All the neighborhoods have an immigrant population approaching 50 percent.<br />
<em>Finansavisen</em> has made contact with two young boys in the “valley”. One of them, Marius Sørvik, has decided to go public, and his name and picture appear in the newspaper. The other one has decided to remain anonymous. <em>Finansavisen</em> refers to him as “Andreas”. One boy was interviewed twice and the other one on three occasions. They were given copies of the article to read through before it was published, and confirmed that they have been quoted correctly. In addition to this Andreas’ father has read the article and given the newspaper the approval to publish his son’s story.<br />
<br />
<strong>Two different worlds in 35 minutes</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
When the decision to travel to Groruddalen was finally made, <em>Finansavisen</em> decided that the journalists should travel there in the manner that most of the youths choose, namely by riding the subway train. The trip from Smestad to Stovner takes approximately 35 minutes, according to <em>Finansavisen</em>, and I guess that during the journey they were shown two different worlds.<br />
<br />
When they arrive in Stovner, they hear the voice of “Andreas”:<br />
<br />
“A few weeks ago,” he says, “I was entering the schoolyard. They were attacking Lars. There’s a whole heap of them. They always attack as a group. They are dogs, they hunt in packs. They are beating him up. I run in between them and I punch one of them. Then someone comes rushing to and separates us, and yet again I’m being hauled off to the principal’s office, and yet again I am being told that even if they punch us we are not supposed to retaliate. Do you know how insanely provocative such a statement is?”<br />
<em>Finansavisen</em>‘s description of Andreas leaves no room for doubt:<br />
<br />
He is sixteen. He is angry. He’s scared. He is brave. He is tired. He wants to tell. He’s got the face of a boy and the eyes of a man.<br />
<br />
“I would have gone public with my full identity had it not been for the fact that I have younger siblings. People need to realize what it is like to grow up here,” he says.<br />
Home is a place somewhere in Groruddalen. That’s where he grew up. He spends one week at his mother’s place and the next one at his father’s place. His stepfather is nice. His father is great. His mother is great, but naïve.<br />
<br />
That is not the problem. This area is what’s the problem.<br />
<br />
“My mum told me that it would be good for me to grow up here. I would get to know the new Norway, get to know different cultures.”<br />
<br />
Then we are introduced to Marius Sørvik.<br />
<br />
He is nineteen. He is articulate. He is brave. He’s scared. He is weak. He is successful. He has dropped out of school. He has a beard. He is too young to have beard. He is pretty in the eyes of young girls. He is only 19, but he has made four movies. He earns money. Right now he is staying with his mum.<br />
<br />
He came to Groruddalen from Fredrikstad when he was one year old. Soon he’ll move back to Fredrikstad.<br />
<br />
<strong>“They are to be pitied”</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
The boys have difficulties defining themselves, “the others” and animal metaphors are often used:<br />
<br />
They both belong to an animal species that is rapidly diminishing in Groruddalen. They do what all animals do: Come up with survival strategies. Trying to find a way to show off their feathers in all its glory, run and hide when they are outnumbered.<br />
<br />
Human nature: The wish to retaliate: revenge, vengeance, one day they might be the strongest, and not be outnumbered. Them. Against them. The others. Strangers with Norwegian passports. The ones they were told to be considerate of when they attended elementary school. Their species has as of yet not been officially labelled. For want of a better term, we chose to use the term that Marius uses to describe himself, a young ethnic Norwegian male.<br />
<br />
“All the teachers told me, the principal told me, if I had an altercation with them I had to understand that they were to be pitied, that they came from countries where there had been war. I thought that he was joking. Their grandparents emigrated from Pakistan. So if I hit someone no one would scold me because my grandfather had been a member of the Norwegian Resistance Movement? But I believed in it.”<br />
<br />
<strong>Duped by the school</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
The elementary school in Groruddalen is a pleasant experience for both of them in the beginning. They sing the songs, they believe in the songs, they live the songs. Then it starts to sound false, the childhood comes to an end, fifth grade:<br />
<br />
“You discover who you are,” says Andreas.<br />
<br />
“People are different; everything you have learned in school is wrong,” says Marius.<br />
You have the ethnic Norwegian boys, and then there are the others. Faced with these two choices, the two boys chose different strategies:</blockquote>
<span id="more-28355"></span><strong>Marius’ strategy</strong><br />
<br />
He doesn’t lower his head. He refuses to take any crap. He answers back. He’s loudmouthed. He is who he is. It does not matter. But that’s not why they target him. It is an autumn evening in seventh grade. He is playing tennis. When he leaves the court to collect some tennis balls they appear. They are seven or eight Somalis. The beat the crap out of him, he has to get new teeth put in.<br />
<br />
Marius doesn’t slow down. He calls a Roma girl a gypsy, something that isn’t appreciated. When her brothers and cousins come for him, he hides in the principal’s office. It has begun.<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<img border="0" src="http://chromatism.net/current/images/norwayumma.jpg" title="Ummah Norway" vspace="5" /></div>
<strong>Andreas’ strategy</strong><br />
<br />
He lowers his gaze, he wants to be like them, talk like them, he alters his language, limits his vocabulary, makes deliberate spelling mistakes — ‘an school’, kebab-Norwegian, buys a soft gun, wants to be like the older, tougher, cool Pakistani guys that have cars and money and no job, why not become a Muslim, become a brother?<br />
<br />
He wants to be like them, but he doesn’t become like them, something inside him is resisting.<br />
<br />
Fragments: the bad grades in the Norwegian classes, the bad friends, Islam, he notices how they view women, as an object, how they react when he tries to discuss Islam with them, how they talk about respect, but don’t show any respect, how they refer to Norwegians as f***ing Norwegians, whitey, potato; something inside him resists.<br />
<br />
He withdraws. They notice that he withdraws. Then it starts.<br />
<br />
<strong>Constant fear</strong><br />
<br />
We learn about the suffering of Marius:<br />
<br />
He heads off to school an hour before it starts in the morning. He heads home before it finishes in the afternoon. More episodes, more threats. Fear is not an isolated event, but rather a continuous stream.<br />
In tenth grade he goes to see the doctor and lies about having social anxiety. He is given a medical certificate so he can spend as little time as possible in school. He’s scared. Says that they always come in packs. Says that they always stare when he sees them on the subway when there are twenty of them, and when he gets a girlfriend they cry out to him:<br />
<br />
“‘Hey Marius have you got yourself a girlfriend,’ and it’s not the words that are threatening, but the way they are being uttered, do you understand, how they look at me and my girlfriend who starts to cry, do you understand?”<br />
<br />
<strong>NRK’s “concept” of “our valley”</strong><br />
<br />
We are being told that Marius’ fears have subsided, although they can still return:<br />
<br />
It has been three years since he graduated from high school. He can still feel a twinge of fear whenever he meets the gangs on the subway, but he doesn’t give a ****, he has made four movies, he says what he thinks, he is who he is, the valley is what it is, he writes op-eds about life in Groruddalen and gets them published in VG and <em>Dagsavisen</em>, he is only nineteen but he has already had a heart attack and he has been interviewed twice by the producers of the Norwegian TV series ‘Dalen Vår’ [‘Our Valley’], Elisabeth Brun (see separate article) to find out if his story fitted in with the story about Groruddalen.<br />
<br />
It did not.<br />
<br />
“Your views do not fit in with our concept,” she said. That TV series is state-funded propaganda. A documentary where the angle has been determined in advance is no documentary, but a half-mockumentary where they have full control of what is being said. If you are going to tell a story about what a great place Groruddalen is, then you can’t talk to young ethnic Norwegian boys, because most of them will tell you that it is a horrible place.<br />
<br />
<strong>Worried about murders</strong><br />
<br />
Andreas is also suffering, despite attempts at hiding it as much as possible:<br />
<br />
He has withdrawn into himself, although he still has a Muslim friend from a very religious family. Let’s call him Omar. He tries to persuade Andreas to become Muslim. Omar tells him about the judgment and the hell that awaits all those who refuse to submit to Islam in time. Omar tells him that he needs to stop enjoying life, but rather prepare himself for the next life. Forsake. But Andreas says that he is wary of Islam; actually it’s more than that: he doesn’t like Islam, not the strictness, vengefulness, its view of women, all the talk about the chastity of women, hijab, not because they want to but because they have to.<br />
<br />
They discuss. The discussions descend into verbal altercations. “He told me that he was going to kill me. I threatened him back.”Andreas allies himself with ethnic Norwegians in the motorcycle community for protection, a 1% club.<br />
<br />
“Had it not been for them he would have killed me.”<br />
<br />
<strong>Cowardly Muslims</strong><br />
<br />
Andreas doesn’t deny that he’s still scared. That he lift weights to gain strength. He also says that he’s contemplating carrying a knife, but that he fears the police knife controls. He says that he’s made deals with his friends, that they will all stand up for each other. Friends who also lift weights and that are into martial arts.<br />
<br />
“Muslims don’t fight you on a one-to-one basis. If you meet them alone they are cowards. If I run into Omar alone, he will just walk past me. If I am alone and meet him in a crowd, the best outcome I can hope for is a beating.”<br />
<br />
Marius has lifted his gaze. Now he can start to analyze it all.<br />
<br />
“There is a hierarchy, where ethnic Norwegian boys are on the bottom rung on the ladder. They will be targeted unless they accede to their rules, if they don’t they become Norwegian immigrants. If a Norwegian boy gets into trouble, odds are that he has a small family and a tiny social network. Unlike a Pakistani or Somali boy, he doesn’t have a clan of brothers and cousins and uncles who come rushing to his aid in the event of a conflict. Most of the time the only thing he has is a single parent.”<br />
<br />
<strong>Norwegian is weakness, Norwegian culture is on the way out</strong><br />
<br />
Andreas believes that the Norwegian culture is being squeezed out.<br />
<br />
“Nobody wants to be a Norwegian here. Norwegian is synonymous with weakness. This is a feeling that is also being conveyed by the teachers.<br />
<br />
“They are afraid. They don’t dare to speak out. You should have a look at the number of principals that have come and gone at Vestliveien school in recent years, and ask them why they left. They don’t have control, but they do everything to accommodate the Muslim students. In home economics classes everybody has to prepare halal meat. Immigrants do not have to attend ‘NyNorsk’ classes [literally New-Norwegian, which is a different dialect and a different way to write Norwegian — there are two forms of written Norwegian]. I have to attend these classes. The Muslim girls do not have to attend the physical activity classes; because of course they cannot undress in front of other girls. We have to adapt to their culture. They don’t have to adapt to ours.”<br />
<br />
Andreas’ views on girls:<br />
<br />
“There is one thing that annoys the hell out of me. They can start chasing Norwegian girls, but we cannot go after theirs. It’s something you learn early on. You just don’t go after a Pakistani girl, but Norwegian girls are available to immigrant boys. Norwegian girls prefer them. I don’t know why. I guess it must be that brown skin. That they are tough, that they have money despite not having jobs. They don’t see that they fight in packs, that they are cowards. I asked my best female friend if we could get romantically involved, and she told me that I have the right personality, but the problem was that I’m Norwegian. She wants to become involved with a foreigner.”<br />
<br />
He believes that Oslo will eventually become Oslostan.<br />
<br />
“It’s not going to happen straightaway, but it that’s the way its going. More and more Muslims arrive here from abroad, and many Norwegians convert. Personally I know of five converts. Here it’s all about Islam; Islam is strong, so why fight it?”<br />
<br />
<strong>The betrayal and the silence</strong><br />
<br />
Andreas says that he feels betrayed. And his conversation with the journalists from <em>Finansavisen</em> is the first time that adults let him speak freely, the first time that he doesn’t have to hold back and place restrictions on himself. He says that he wants to become an actor. He wants to make a movie. Maybe a movie about the real “our valley”. He says that he wants to join the HV youth (the youth division of the National Guard). “He wants the uniform. He craves the authority that a uniform gives. No one messes with a soldier.”<br />
<br />
<em>Finansavisen</em>’s reporters suggest that adolescence can be tough for everybody, and they wonder how much of it is actually about growing up in the valley and how much is trauma that many adolescents experience, such as differentness, loneliness and exclusion. They even ask them if they are paranoid — if there really is something to be afraid of. Maybe they have deliberately isolated themselves and gone into hiding and started worshipping imaginary horrors that have replaced reality?<br />
<br />
The boys’ response is laughter:<br />
<br />
They laugh. They smile. The journalists have not understood.<br />
<br />
“It is not imagination when they shout after me, when they threaten me, when they hit me,” says Andreas.<br />
<br />
“Are you afraid to walk around alone?”<br />
<br />
“I’m not. Not any more,” says Marius.<br />
<br />
“There are many places that I don’t go alone. Especially at night,” says Andreas.<br />
We follow Andreas to the subway station.<br />
<br />
“Do you see?” he says, and guides our attention to two immigrants. “Do you see how they stare back?”<br />
<br />
He’s right. They do stare. We lower our gaze first.<br />
<br />
Once again we hear the animal metaphors that permeates their language:<br />
<br />
“They are like cats, says Andreas — cats never back down. They challenge you. I get so f***ing mad.”<br />
<br />
The subway train arrives. We get on. After a few stop Andreas gets off. We lean back in our seats and try to let the rattle of the train carriage rock us into a kind of sleep. But sleep doesn’t come.<br />
The subway ride from Stovner to Smestad takes approximately 35 minutes.<br />
Epilogue: After having read the draft, Marius gave us a call.<br />
<br />
“You can delete the statement that I can walk around safely.”<br />
<br />
“Why?”<br />
<br />
“I got beat up on the way home from the pub yesterday.”<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They say a picture is worth more than a thousand words ....</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPgBij67x3EHI2LrcT6i0xp7FOTd0pj4bC1yRj9E9PbrUZOWcVfKFEEfFVAbXRqDh93VTdQ8ecylnr8f-0V-9JvaCYPLr7TMI0rb9xCcjnfQqj2_iJDKJjgcE0u5zynVmD_CW3egSRzq4/s1600/Untitled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPgBij67x3EHI2LrcT6i0xp7FOTd0pj4bC1yRj9E9PbrUZOWcVfKFEEfFVAbXRqDh93VTdQ8ecylnr8f-0V-9JvaCYPLr7TMI0rb9xCcjnfQqj2_iJDKJjgcE0u5zynVmD_CW3egSRzq4/s320/Untitled.jpg" width="288" /></a></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lately I’ve started getting into photo-editing and moviemaking.
I’ve downloaded a free photo editing program called GIMP and I have Windows
moviemaker installed on my computer, so getting started was fairly straight
forward. All I had to do was to set aside some time, obtain some free
information from the net and start to take it all in. I should perhaps also
mention that it’s a lot of fun and it is very rewarding. When you’re making video
clips you really get to use your creative skills, not to mention that you get
the see the results of your efforts once you’ve finished. You also have the
option of uploading your clips onto YouTube, which is basically a big poster
board for multimedia clips. If you’re talented, lucky or clever your videos have
the potential of being watched by millions of people all over the world and to leave
a profound impression on them. That was probably the biggest reason for taking the
time to learn about these things, because it’s a lot easier to get a message
out to the masses via YouTube and similar video site than it is through a personal
blog consisting of mainly written material, and which compared to YouTube receives
very few visitors. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Don’t get me wrong, blogs are powerful tools and they have
been instrumental in changing public perception, but in this day and age where
everything is fast paced and where people don’t have the patience to spend ten -
fifteen minutes reading a text no matter how good or informative it is, a five
to ten minute video clip is an ideal alternative. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Why? Because watching a video clip doesn’t require a lot of
effort, and the effects are much more profound on the recipient. Reading about
the passenger jets flying into the twin towers in NYC on that horrible September
day does not evoke the same emotions as watching actual footage of the doomed planes
hitting the two skyscrapers, or similarly watching a Muslim mob go bonkers over
an innocuous cartoon of Mohammad does tend to give the viewer a better
understanding of the rage of the mob as opposed to just reading about in a
newspaper article. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Anyone trying to change the public perception or to get a
message across via the internet is well advised to present his/her information
in a multimedia format. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I also believe that this is a path that the counter-jihad
community should pursue more aggressively. Vlad over at Vladtepesblog.com does
a very good job in presenting informative and interesting video clips that the
MSM in many cases try to hush down or completely sweep under the carpet. With
access to a network of translators it’s also easy to spread important foreign
language videos that would otherwise go unnoticed in the English speaking
world. There is no getting away from it, Europe is today the epicentre where
the struggle against Islam will either be won or lost in the western world, and
because the vast majority of the European countries don’t use English as their
first language, the work of the translators is critical, but so is Vlad’s
effort and others like him that make these clips available for others to watch.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The impact of motion pictures is so enormous that it has the
power to determine political elections, as was the case with the latest US
election where both candidates spent millions of dollars on prime time TV ads in
order to ensure that their message got across to the voters. Both candidates
where drilled by a variety of professional media experts on how to behave and
present themselves on TV in general, and on public TV debates in particular. If
any of these candidates had opted to ignore the TV side of the campaign and
focus more on written material they would have been truly and utterly defeated.
</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The well informed and those who follow politics closely would
probably have preferred such a scenario, but it would have been lost on the
average person. And that’s also the way it is in the fight against Islam and oppressive
political correctness. Those who are deeply concerned about these issues read
countless of articles and in-depth analysis, but the ones who aren’t or simply
don’t get it, unfortunately don’t. And they are the ones that we need to reach
out to and get onboard. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Even an ordinary blog post would become more potent if its content
was presented as a slideshow which also included still pictures and music. Not
because the people that worry about Islam wouldn’t read the blog post, but
because the uninformed or the uninterested probably wouldn’t invest the necessary
time and effort that it takes to read through an article containing 800 -900 words
on the subject of Islam. However chances are that they would watch a video on
the subject, and chances are that they would probably be left with a more
profound impression of the information presented to them. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s not my intention to be arrogant, pompous or act superior
here, but I honestly believe that that is the way it is. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My advice to anyone who wants to get involved in the fight
against the spread of Islam, political correctness and multiculturalism would
therefore be to focus more on the multimedia aspect of things as this is going
to have the greatest impact. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Odds are that the people who read this blog post, or just scan
it, will remember the image of Jens Stoltenberg at the start of it more clearly
a few months down the track rather than the words that I have written here,
which only proves the point that I am trying to make here.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the aftermath of the failed assassination attempt on Lars
Hedegaard in Copenhagen earlier this month, where an Arabic/Pakistani looking
male disguised as a postman tried to kill the well-known Danish Islam critic,
newspaper editors and politicians, at least those that bothered to report of the
incident, talked in poetic terms about how precious freedom of speech is and
that we simply can’t allow anyone to do away with this hard-fought right. It’s nice
to know that individuals in powerful positions are willing to stand up for free
speech following such an appalling incident, and especially considering that they
normally vilify and smear people like Lars Hedegaard who use this freedom to
express views that they don’t like under more normal circumstances.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another intrepid person who uses his freedom of speech to
voice opinions that the MSM don’t like is the Dutch parliamentarian Geert
Wilders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And just like Lars Hedegaard he
too is on the hit list of fanatic assassins who would love nothing more than to
silence him on a permanent basis. As a result of these very real threats Geert Wilders
has been given around the clock protection by the Dutch police.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last week he got to experience close up how the Australian
media treat individuals that they don’t like. Their methods are fairly similar
to that of their European colleagues. Wilders also got to see how Australian
leftwing demonstrators behave, and it should come as no surprise that they are doing
their very best to emulate the behaviour of their leftwing brethrens in Europe.
At a conference in Melbourne organized by the Q society Wilders got to see
firsthand how fanatical leftwing activists critical of his views actively tried
to disrupt the event and resort to violence to prevent people from entering the
premises and listening to his message. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Such behaviour has unfortunately been allowed to take root
in Europe without any real attempts by the authorities to stop it. Violent
individuals from organized movements on the extreme left have been permitted
almost unopposed to behave violently in order to silence those they disagree with
and to deter others from engaging in similar activities. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The demonstrators in Melbourne accused Mr.
Wilders of hate speech and of causing animosity and division between the different
ethnic groups, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Wilders have repeatedly
gone on record stating that those immigrants that embrace western values are
more than welcome to reside in the Netherlands, those however who are incapable
of doing so have to go.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The demonstrators in Melbourne are of course entitles to
believe and say what they like, but what makes them think that they have the
right to prevent Mr. Wilders from speaking and violently attack those who have come
to listen to him? </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What is worse, so-called hate speech, or individuals who are
willing to use violence to prevent others from speaking? Most western
Governments, with the exception of the US Government, unfortunately seem to
believe that hates speech is far worse than real violence</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If western authorities were serious about defending freedom
of speech they would never have introduced draconic hate speech laws that have completely
stifled free speech in Europe and which have given the authorities the power to
arrest anyone who doesn’t approve of the official line on such contentious
issues as Islam and multiculturalism. Furthermore if the authorities’ had been genuine
about defending freedom of speech they would have made sure that this right was
properly protected in the eyes of the law. That is not the case today. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Any action whose sole purpose is to deter someone from using
this right should be dealt with in the most serious manner. Because when we get
down to the nitty gritty, is there really that much of a difference between a
dictator preventing his fellow countrymen from expressing themselves freely by the
use of terror and intimidation and groups of fanatical citizens that are wiling
to attack anyone who dare to express opinions that they find unpalatable, and that
are able to do so with impunity? The end result is the same; they’re silencing
others by the use of fear.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Why is it that some individuals are given the green light to
violently attack others on a regular basis simply because the members of the
targeted group have the temerity to express their opinions? And why are they
allowed to get away with only a light slap on the wrist and minimal fines in
those cases that they are actually arrested? Wouldn’t it make more sense to charge
them with obstructing others from exercising basic fundamental human rights? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">How is it that the Dutch authorities can justify spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars on prosecuting someone like Geert Wilders for
alleged hate speech violations, which they actually did a few years ago, but practically
ignore those on the extreme left that are trying to physically assault Wilders
and people like him for simply voicing their opinions? Surely it would make more
sense to haul the violent leftwing fanatics into the courts, make them endure lengthy
trials, pay for their own defence and sentence them to lengthy prison sentences
or alternatively give them hefty fines? </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">How about making them go through similar protracted court processes
like the one that Geert Wilders had to endure? There can be no doubts that such
an initiative would send out a clear and unequivocal message to others who might
be tempted to engage in similar activities. It would also send out a very clear
signal that preventing someone from using their freedom of speech through the
use of violence and intimidation is simply unacceptable in today’s Europe. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Unfortunately it’s the other way around. Those who express opinions
which haven’t been given the official stamp of approval get to feel the full weight
of the law. It doesn’t matter that they have refrained from violent activities,
their opinions are considered intellectual violence and thus they have to be
punished. They get ridiculed and smeared by the leftwing media; they run the risk
of getting socially ostracized and in some case even lose their livelihoods for
speaking their minds. We’ve come to a stage in history where words are
considered to be far more dangerous than a blow from a baseball bat.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In democratic society we only prosecute those who prevent
others from using their democratic rights. Why not prosecute violent activists as
rigorously as those that are guilty of ‘violating’ the draconic hate speech laws
that are in place in most western nations today? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently it’s more important to look after those
that are feeling offended than it is to assist those that are being violently attacked
by the offended. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Special laws apply to organized criminal gangs, such as Hells
Angels and Bandidos, that are known to engage in mafia like activities. Perhaps
similar tactics should be used against organized groups that are known to cause
violence at public rallies and political event, such as the one that Geert
Wilders attended recently in Melbourne? Their tactics are identical; it’s all
about intimidation and deterring others from engaging in similar activities.
Perhaps the authorities should start to issue restraining orders to know
members of such organizations and arrest anyone who are in breach of these? It’s
not a human right to assault other people. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Somehow I don’t believe that it wouldn’t go down too well if
members from Hells Angels all of a sudden decided to target journalists for
looking to closely into the dealings of their club. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maybe the politicians and newspaper editors that were so
vociferous in their defence of freedom of speech but yet so lukewarm of the
activities and opinions of Lars Hedegaard should take a long hard look at
themselves in the mirror and start sorting out their priorities and re-evaluate
their principles? How about being the driving factor in getting such new legislation
implemented? </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Or perhaps they are comfortable with the way things are as
long as they themselves aren’t the target of violence and intimidation? </span></div>

<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Anyone with even a slight knowledge of the political
climate today in Norway knows that it is literally career suicide for an
academic to oppose the established truth in the tiny little fishbowl that is
Norwegian academia. The bowl is full of lidless and bloodthirsty piranhas that
are tirelessly working to ensure that everything is running according to the
script. Those who diverge from the pre-approved plot are dealt with swiftly and
in a very brutal manner. They are virtually shredded in public.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The piranhas set a standard that everyone in the bowl
has to submit to. Their brutal behaviour and their willingness to attack sends
out a very clear warning to those who might harbour any dissident thoughts. In
many ways it’s an academic miniature version of the former Soviet Union, a
regime which these self appointed piranhas used to glorify in the 1970s and
’80s, when many of them were active members of various communist organizations
and called for a bloody revolution.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Despite the brutal and oppressive disciplinary regime
that they have managed to create in Norway, every now and again someone in the
fishbowl dares to stick their neck forward and accurately diagnose the obvious
democratic deficit and the blatant political bias which exists inside the bowl.
The latest dissident is Alexandra Irene Larsen, who wrote an op-ed in VG where
she confronted the left-wing agenda found in the Norwegian academy, and in
particular in human sciences, which she accurately described as being
completely hijacked by leftwing ideologues. To the piranhas this was an
inexcusable act of treason which they couldn’t let pass unpunished. They knew
that they had to act, and do so in such a manner that it would quell any
similar future attempts. They had to set an example, and it had to be a powerful
one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is quite a spectacle to behold so-called
researchers and scientists — who by nature should be very open-minded and
actively encourage independent thinking — act like little Stalins whenever
someone goes against the consensus that they have imposed upon the rest of the
flock. Irrefutable facts and logic are of course impossible to dismiss by
rational arguments, so the piranhas have adopted tactics that conveniently
sidestep these inconvenient obstacles. Their method is to aim below the belt and
portray the messenger of traditional scientific principles as evil, despicable,
corrupt and dishonest. They use guilt by association, ridicule, intimidation,
sabotage and any other vile technique in their repertoire to smear their
victims.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In 2011 they were provided a god-sent
present in the form of the Utøya massacre, which inserted a gigantic trump card
up their sleeve. A trump card that was so potent that it could beat anything
anyone could throw at them, hands down. To link someone with Anders Behring
Breivik, especially in Norway, is the equivalent of publicly accusing someone
of being a paedophile. The mud sticks like glue and will never quite go away,
no matter how unsubstantiated and unfair the accusations are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span id="more-26944"></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Lars Gule is one of these pompous self-appointed
piranhas who will use any tactic to publicly crucify those who cross his
ideological path. On Thursday he struck once again when in a very aggressive and
mendacious manner he exacted his revenge against Alexandra Irene Larsen for
having the temerity to shine a critical light on the academic milieu for which
he is one of the prominent ideological suppliers. He did this before an
audience which consisted mostly of ideologically indoctrinated students and
other leftwing academics. Without an ounce of shame he publicly accused Mrs.
Larsen of being ignorant, of not having read the proper books, of being
intellectually dishonest, and last but not least of having views that are
shared by the readership of the Islam-critical blog Gates of Vienna, which according
to Gule was Anders Behring Breivik’s favourite website.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The basis of Gule’s extraordinary ‘logical’ deduction
was that the op-ed in which Mrs. Larsen criticised the academic climate in
Norway had been translated into English and then published at Gates of Vienna.
This astonishing nugget of intellectual wisdom comes from a person whose title
designates him an associate professor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The fact that Ms. Larsen had nothing to do with the
translation, that she had not given her consent to such an undertaking and was
more than likely unaware of the fact that it even existed meant nothing to Lars
Gule. The mere fact that the op-ed appeared at Gates of Vienna was more than
enough for him, and he accused and condemned her based on something that he
himself knew very well that she had no part in. He employed the exact methods
he accused Mrs. Larsen of employing, and he did it in such a way that no member
of the audience was left in any doubt that they would receive the same
treatment should they dare to oppose him or any of his fellow self-appointed
salivating watchdogs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I see Lars Gule as a comic figure, somewhat like the
village idiot of earlier times who would shout vile epithets and insults while
frothing at the mouth in the town square to the amusement of the spectators
that had gathered to behold the behaviour of one who was obviously less
mentally gifted than themselves. And it would be fine if the media and academia
treated him as the clown he is, but they don’t. The former wannabe terrorist
who underwent training at a DFLP terrorist camp in 1977 — the equivalent of a
modern day Al Qaeda camp — and who was sentenced to prison for having been
caught with explosives which he had planned to use to carry out a terrorist
attack inside Israel, gets to set the tone of what is acceptable and what isn’t
acceptable in Norway today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It’s also completely preposterous that a person such
as Gule is allowed to publicly condemn others and link them to ABB when he
himself is one of the few living Norwegians who bears a strong ideological
resemblance to Breivik. There are no more than a handful of ethnic Norwegian
citizens who have been convicted of terrorist acts or planning to commit such
acts. Lars Gule and Anders Behring Breivik are two of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Lars Gule likes to think that he has
confronted his past and atoned for his sins, which he attributes to
youthfulness and the volatile political situation in the Middle East at the
time. But the fact of the matter is that his pitiful and pathetic explanations
are just as believable as UFO sightings and green Martians walking around the
desert in Nevada. It’s a complete mystery why no one has systematically
challenged him in public on his murky and sinister past.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Gule maintains that he intended to place an explosive
device outside a non-populated structure in Israel when he was caught with 750
grams of plastic explosives hidden in his backpack at the airport in Beirut in
1977. He has reassured the Norwegian public on numerous occasions that under no
circumstances had he intended to target civilians with his powerful bomb, and
the gullible Norwegian authorities and the pro-Palestinian Norwegian MSM have
embraced this ‘confession’ and rolled out the red carpet so that he could
rejoin the flock. No critical voices among the elites have contested this
highly dubious version of events, and those individuals who hint that Gule’s
account might not necessarily be accurate are quickly reprimanded for being
rude and insulting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Anyone with a fully working brain understands that a
criminal when caught by the police will say anything to lessen the significance
of his crime and do anything to try to reduce the time he has to spend in
prison. The criminal will vehemently maintain that he didn’t do it, and if that
tactic doesn’t work he will swear that he didn’t intend to hurt anyone, that it
was an accident, that someone else committed the violent act, that he tried to
help the victim and so on and so forth. There is a popular saying that prisons
are full of innocent people. I venture that Gule is full of baloney.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Let’s look at it from a slightly different
perspective. What if Breivik had been caught before he was able to carry out
his hideous deeds in Oslo and Utøya in 2011? What if Anders Behring Breivik had
maintained in police interviews that he had only intended to blow up an
unpopulated structure far away from downtown Oslo and that he under no
circumstances had intended to actively target innocent civilians? Would the
authorities and the MSM have believed him? Would they have reprimanded those
individuals who found this confession implausible and who maintained that it
was more credible that ABB had intended to kill civilians?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">How unlikely is it that Lars Gule employed the same
tactic upon capture in Lebanon, and that he indeed had meant to kill innocent
Israeli civilians? The Palestinian terrorist group he joined and supported in
1977 had three years earlier carried out a very bloody and cowardly terror
attack inside Israel that resulted in significant loss of life. The infamous
Ma’alot massacre of 1974, when DFLP attacked an Israeli elementary school and
killed 27 people, mostly children between the ages of 14 and 16, would surely
have been familiar to Gule at the time. And these were the people with whom
Lars Gule ideologically identified and was so enthused about when he was caught
at the airport in Beirut with 750 grams of plastic explosives hidden in his
backpack. For all we know Gule could even have intended to blow up the plane
that he was about to board.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is also very plausible that he had a cover story
that he fed to his Lebanese interrogators during the police interviews. It’s
not uncommon for terrorists to concoct elaborate cover stories that they rely
upon when they are arrested. Why should it be any different with Lars Gule?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">To me Lars Gule is a despicable person who should be
shunned and ostracized, just as Anders Behring Breivik would have been had he
not been incarcerated. The only difference between Gule and ABB is that Gule
was caught and ABB succeeded. Breivik had also compiled an incriminating
manifesto which irrevocably tied him to his actions, and showed that he had
intended all along to let himself be apprehended in order to spread his twisted
ideology to the rest of the world. Gule was a little bit brighter than that,
and didn’t incriminate himself with such nonsense. It’s also doubtful that he
would have hung around for the police to come and arrest him should he have
succeeded in carrying out his terrorist attack.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Of course it is highly unlikely that Gule will ever be
held accountable for his actions. After all, he lives in a country whose
leaders protect those on the left who carry out militant acts and commit high
treason, as is the case with those politicians who actively collaborated with
the KGB and Stasi. The Norwegian authorities have refused to release the names
of these Norwegian traitors. But people should at least be made aware of one
particular creep who is allowed to enjoy a perfectly normal career and live a
perfectly normal live in a country where the rational people are deemed racists
and bigots, and would-be terrorists and traitors are treated with the utmost
respect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It’s important because of the highly ideological and
uncritical way basic information of the case is presented; it’s obvious from
the beginning that the narrator has a political agenda.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It’s also important because vital information from the
ruling has deliberately been omitted. According to the judgment of the Bergen
City Court, Mirela Mustaza, the woman who is being portrayed as a victim of
institutionalized Norwegian racism in the clip, allowed and facilitated the
rape of her 11-year-old daughter back in 2008 when her daughter was forcibly
married to another gypsy. The narrator ‘failed’ to mention this very important
piece of information, and I’m sure a lot of viewers wonder why this fact was
left out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">According to the court ruling, Mustaza’s daughter was
raped by her new ‘husband’ on the wedding night while being held down by
several grown men. She now lives at an undisclosed location in Sweden and was
very upset about the dishonest way facts were presented in the story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">NRK has stated that the reason why they left out the
information about the rape was due to the fact that it happened back in 2008,
and that it would therefore ‘complicate things!’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Another piece of information that was conveniently
left out was the fact that several of the convicted adults indecently assault
the children in their care while they were touring Norway and Sweden in 2010.
The narrator also ‘forgot’ to mention that some of the children were forcibly
married, or rather sold by their families to members of the group for
approximately 10,000 and 15,000 euros, hence the trafficking aspect of the
conviction. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And last but not least, the narrator failed to mention
that the convicted adults and the children in their care were involved in theft
and scams that pocketed for the group several hundred thousand NoK, which was
then wired back to Romania. This refutes the claim made by the narrator that
the members of the group are poor and vulnerable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Another important aspect of this case is that the
Norwegian media didn’t bother to react, nor did they attempt to refute the
information presented in the story. This is grotesque, considering that the
majority of the big newspapers in Norway covered the so-called ‘gypsy case’
when it was before the court in Bergen in 2012. In other words, the MSM was
aware of the basic facts of the case, but deliberately chose not to raise the
matter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This could of course arise from the fact that the
quality of journalism in Norway leaves a lot to be desired, or that the media
in Norway are mostly left-wing and choose to downplay incidents that go against
their political beliefs, or a combination of both. This particular case only
received MSM attention when Document.no picked up on it and started making some
noise. It took almost two weeks before the MSM in Norway paid any attention to
it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The main reason for this deafening silence is a
concerted effort on the part of certain strata of the political establishment
to counter the massive public outcry to the Gypsy invasion of Norway, an
invasion which has seen petty crime skyrocket all over the country. In some of
the more sickening cases, Romanian and Bulgarian gypsies have violently
assaulted very old people and stolen their valuables.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Those brave people who have voiced their opinions
despite the official intimidation campaign have quickly found themselves at the
receiving end of the very effective Norwegian smear machinery, and have been
branded ‘racists’ by the MSM. I suppose it is ‘understandable’ to a certain
extent that the MSM wanted to downplay this case, as it paints a very different
picture than the glossy fairytale story about ‘poor and honest oppressed people’
who are simply trying to make a better life for themselves in Norway the
‘narrative’ that they, the MSM, have been force-feeding us for such a long
time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">NRK, the state broadcaster which aired the clip, is
financed through a compulsory yearly fee which has to be paid by anyone who
owns a TV set in Norway. More and more people have finally begun to realize
that it’s morally wrong to demand that ordinary Norwegians finance a media
outlet that is so blatantly slanted politically. And this is by no means an
isolated incident. In the 1980s and ‘90s news clips like this were commonplace,
but back then NRK and the leftwing Norwegian MSM enjoyed a literal media
monopoly where critical voices were persona non grata.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3a3731; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Thankfully, it seems that conservative independent
media outlets in Norway have finally managed to gain enough strength to make a
difference. Let’s hope that NRK and the MSM start paying some attention and see

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A heated debate is currently sweeping through the political
landscape in Norway. The subject of this frenzied verbal mass brawl is whether Norway
has a unique culture or not, and as expected prominent individuals from the hard-left
are frantically trying to silence their opponents by heavy handed use of ridicule,
derision and bullying tactics. They are desperately trying to intimidate others
into accepting their point of view which is that there is no such thing as a unique
Norwegian culture and that what is commonly referred to as such is simply a
mishmash of foreign ideas and imported traditions that Norwegians themselves never
had any control over. To them Norway is simply a terra nullius populated by a
people without roots, customs, history or anything else of any measurable value.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fervour that they display in this
endeavour is on par with that of the rabid communists of the baby boomer
generation who aggressively proselytized about the superiority of communism in
the late sixties and early seventies. And just like the baby boomers before
them they are wilfully engaging in a game of divide and conquer in order to achieve
their insidious political goals at any cost. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They have of course strong ideological reasons for promulgating
such a political hypothesis and try to ram it down the throats of a gullible
populace. They know very well that if they can trick the masses into accepting that
Norway has no unique culture then they can aggressively argue that Norway cannot
possibly be threatened or destroyed culturally by mass immigration. It stands
to reason that if something doesn’t exist then it cannot possibly be destroyed.
If they are successful in their odious endeavour and have their way Norwegian
culture will be rendered obsolete and meaningless and Norway will simply cease
to be Norway. The logical conclusions of their argument is that Norway could replace
its entire population with Pakistani nationals and still continue to be Norway
as there is no distinctive Norwegian culture. Of course most coherent people
would see the irrationality and absurdity of such a statement. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So why do the hard-left choose to convey views that are so
easy to refute?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They do it because they realize that if a message is
repeated often enough it will eventually start to sink in regardless of its preposterous
conclusions, and by highlighting the ‘inhumane’ and ‘despicable’ nature of
their opponents arguments and views they send out a clear and unambiguous signal
that people should stay away from ‘the unpalatable’ or else pay the
consequences. Their goal is to instil fear and that’s why they rely so heavily
on bullying tactics. They want to control people by intimidation and fear plain
and simple. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This modus operandi is of
course not only limited to the question of the ‘elusive’ Norwegian culture it’s
also used on issues such as immigration, homosexuality, gun control and pretty
much any other leftwing social issues one can care to think of. They simply
cannot accept a free, civilised and unbiased exchange of opinions because in
such a scenario their views would quickly be picked apart and squashed under
the heel of logic and rationality. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They also rely heavily on ‘benevolent’ and passive aggressive
argumentation in order to win over the uninformed and the young. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They question the motives of anyone who has
the nerve to exalt Norwegian values and are quick to point out that such ‘racist’
drivel only creates an unhealthy ‘us versus them mentality’ which breeds
conflicts that will further alienate the immigrant population and galvanize differences
and animosity rather than alleviate them. Strangely enough the hard-left are quick
to lecture others in a condescending manner that the immense and insurmountable
problems associated with third world mass immigration will sort itself when the
immigrants get a chance by the ‘racist’ Norwegians to integrate, which most
people of course would interpret as a willingness to adopt to our culture and
way of life. ...</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Most people however realize that cultures exist and that they
are relatively easy to define. To put it bluntly, a culture is the collective sum
of customs, traditions and values that characterises a specific national or
ethnic group. The easiest way to describe the essence of a particular culture is
to compare it with other cultures. The differences found can then be promoted as
the uniqueness or individuality of the culture in question. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The coexistence of different cultures doesn’t necessarily
mean that they will amalgamate and give birth to a new super culture. There are
numerous examples around the world that would contradict such a claim. The
aboriginals in Australia are still hanging on to their culture after almost 250
years of white rule and many aboriginals are to this day very reluctant to immerse
themselves in Anglo-Saxon mainstream culture. Same thing goes with the US and
Canada and their indigenous populations. Even the Sami people in Norway have fiercely
held on to their traditions, customs and language a fact that the Norwegian authorities
recognize along with the majority of the leftwing agitators who fervently deny
the existence of their own culture.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately this is
a point that seems lost upon them, or more likely they chose to ignore it as they
see it as a means to an end, which is the ultimate and total destruction of
their own culture and nation.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The latest school shooting in the USA is just another link
in the long chain of episodes that the left is ruthlessly exploiting for its
own pernicious politically purposes. The message that the left is trying to sell
is that anyone who support liberal gun laws or who wants to see the second amendment
of the US constitution upheld are somehow morally accountable for the killing
of 27 innocent individuals, mostly children, in Newtown, </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Connecticut.This is of course an absurd allegation to
make. It’s also a very distasteful one at that, but that doesn’t deter the left
who is trying to convince us that anybody who opposes stricter gun legislation
is evil and should be ashamed of themselves. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This moral outrage isn’t exclusively limited to supporters
of liberal gun legislation. It is also applied to anyone who dares to oppose the
many other selected pet causes of the left such as gay marriage, Islam and
multiculturalism. If someone dares to express even the slightest doubt about the
wisdom of allowing gays to marry then they are automatically branded as homophobic.
The same applies to those who express concern about multiculturalism. They are
also quickly labelled, in those instances as despicable racists, bigots and so
forth. The reason they have all these vile epithets hurled at them is because
the left are suffering from a political tantrum syndrome which they feel give them
the moral right to demonize people that don’t agree with them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s an infantile reaction coming from people that
in many cases are still stuck mentally in the kindergarten sandbox.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We have now reached an era where ad hominem tactics are
being used as a deliberate political strategy to silence political opponents. It
has become so bad that espousing conservative political views is now considered to
be the new taboo. Character assassination has been turned into a debating technique
which aim is to pull into question the morality of any purveyor of views that
haven’t been sanctioned by the left. This constant pressure to embrace and
adopt certain views through the extensive use of intimidation has delivered a
decisive blow to traditional western values and it has been a very effective
tool in the psychological neutering process of the western male.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Needless to say it is therefore imperative to identify the
tactics employed by the left and to have the necessary knowhow to deflect these
tactics and throw them back in their faces. The best way is of course still the
traditional way which is to methodically debunk their arguments by picking them
apart one by one which is not that difficult to do as most of their ‘enlightened’
opinions are ideological drivel without any basis in reality. Counter arguments
that are based on factual information cannot be refuted and when they are interspersed
with a dose of good old dry sarcasm they tend to have a very powerful effect.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thomas Hylland Eriksen is a typical Norwegian academic who
has for the last couple of decades worked tirelessly to make sure that Norway doesn’t
miss out on the ‘multiethnic dream’. He holds a high position within the tiny narrow-minded
academic milieu in Norway and he is by many considered to be an important
mentor for the left. Despite his slightly pompous and overbearing personality he
was clearly shaken when an Iranian immigrant recently accused him in an
newspaper op-ed of having ideologically provided ABB with enough ‘mental
ammunition’ to commit the atrocities in Norway on July 22, 2011 by making the
following statement: </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><em><strong>‘Now it’s important to deconstruct the majority and do it so
thoroughly so that it can never be referred to as a majority again’.</strong></em></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Following this verbal ‘broadside’ which the left leaning
academia in Norway where up in arms about, Mr Eriksen petulantly stated that he
didn’t feel like continuing with his research. Maybe it was uncalled for but
one should keep in mind that Thomas Hylland Eriksen himself had no qualms about
making similar accusations against people who were just as innocent as him in
the time after the attacks. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What it all boils down to is that an offensive approach will
always be the best form of defence. One should never give the left an inch when
engaging them in debates; never give them a reason to believe that they have
the upper hand mentally or ideologically. Nor should one feel guilty about
having an independent and controversial opinion. So what if the people on the
left don’t like it, is it their responsibility to determine what constitute
correct political speech? </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In my opinion no one has been more successful in exposing
and countering the dirty tactics of the left than former leader of the progress
party (FrP) in Norway, Carl I Hagen. He never held back and he always spoke his mind. He had an almost uncanny ability to make those TV journalists
who clearly despised him and who constantly questioned him for his controversial
political views look like ignorant and ill prepared little school children. I personally
believe that Carl I Hagen and the FrP are one of the reasons why the intellectual
climate in Norway today is so different to that of Sweden where it is unthinkable
to publicly oppose or criticize multiculturalism. It is important to realize
that the only way to topple political correctness and hopefully reign in the
out of control horse which is multiculturalism, is to reject its unwritten rules,
and that means not being afraid of speaking one’s mind whether the subject is
gun control, gay marriages, Islam or multiculturalism. </span></div>
