"There will be those who don’t
like to hear this but regrettably there is a huge grain of
truth in what this man says.

Geert Wilders is a Member of the Dutch
Parliament
In a
generation or two, the United States of America will ask itself: "Who lost
Europe ?"
Here is the
speech by Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, The Netherlands , at the
Four Seasons in New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing
the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem .
Thank you very much for inviting
me.
I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world.
There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.
We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is
a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to
America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last
bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.
First, I will
describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things
about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .
The
Europe you know is changing.
You have probably seen the landmarks. But in
all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination,
there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by
Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising:
entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even
seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well.
It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents,
with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if
you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The
shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any
economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics.
These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across
Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly
larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city
by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe with
larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city
there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the
region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.
Many European cities are already
one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In
many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now
surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name
among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the
farm can no longer be mentioned because that would also mean mentioning the pig,
and that would be an insult to Muslims.
Many state schools in Belgium
and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam
gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely
hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but
to stations in the country of origin.
In France school teachers are
advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and
Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the
Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
In
England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many
neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last
week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels because he
was drinking during Ramadan.
Jews are fleeing France in record numbers,
on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now
commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel . I could go
on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.
A total of
fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe . San Diego University recently
calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be
Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by
the end of this century.
Now these are just numbers. And the numbers
would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to
assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported
that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their
loyalty to France . one-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide
attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of
British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand
what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim
official state holidays.
The Christian-Democratic attorney general is
willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We
have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .
Muslim
demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random
violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale
riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I
call the perpetrators 'settlers' because that is what they are. They do not come
to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their
Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.
Much of this street violence
I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native
people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover,
Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.
The second thing you need
to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to
all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace,
let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no
problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had
several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought
in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war
executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it
is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.
Let no
one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after,
and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system
that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam
wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not
compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If
you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or
national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
Now you know
why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and
why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted
the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in
this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel . First, because
it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including
Auschwitz; second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our
first line of defense.
This tiny country is situated on the fault line of
jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines
of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in
Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in the way. The
same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.
The war against Israel is
not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel
is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have
been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release
its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their
children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can
sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.
Many in
Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances
of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would
not bring any solace to the West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would
all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. on the contrary,
the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam.
They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is
weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with
Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for
world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called
journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as
'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands , 60
percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number
one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the
biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the
scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe
faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom
and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of
military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with
atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to
preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem .
Dear
friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight
for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought
for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us
of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My
generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only
hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in
which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams.
Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We
simply do not have the right to do so.
We have to take the necessary
action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we
know.
