Kristna kidnappade och tvångskonverterade i Gaza

Det finns fortfarande en liten grupp

kristna kvar i Hamas Gaza.

De behandlas självklart som dhimmis.

Den lite ovanliga källan till denna nyhet

är PLO:s "nyhetsbyrå" Ma´an:

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Christians in the

Gaza Strip staged a sit-in protest on

Monday after the family of a young man

said he was being forced to convert to

Islam by an armed group, Ma'an's

correspondent said.
**
Dozens of Christians protested in the

Orthodox church in Gaza City, claiming

that a Christian man and two girls had

been kidnapped. A Muslim association

said they had converted to Islam of

their own free will.
**
Greek Orthodox Archbishop Alexios said

Ramiz al-Amash had been kidnapped by

an Islamist group on Saturday after

attempts to force him to convert from

Christianity to Islam and he was pre-

vented from calling his family.

**

Archbishop Alexios said al-Amash's

parents "went to the police to lodge

a complaint about the kidnapping of

their son, but they did nothing."

**
Al-Amash's mother became sick and

had to be taken to hospital.

The family managed to contact the

kidnappers and they took Ramiz to

see her surrounded by three jeeps

filled with gunmen. They then took

him away again to an unknown

location.
**
"There are some groups trying to

persuade young Christians to convert

to Islam. They abduct them away

from their parents and their families,

they threaten them," he said.

Archbishop Alexios called on officials

to intervene to stop abductions,

stressing that there has been a good

relationship between Muslims and

Christians over the past years.

Påståendet om det "goda förhållandet"

mellan muslimer och kristna är minst

sagt nonsens. En dhimmi kan möjligen

tolereras, men aldrig respekteras av

muslimer.

Bat Ye’or beskriver vad dhimmiskapet

innebar:

"Dhimmis were excluded from public office

and armed service, and were forbidden to

bear arms. They were not allowed to ride

horses or camels, to build synagogues or

churches taller than mosques, to construct

houses higher than those of Muslims or to

drink wine in public. They were forced to

wear distinctive clothing and were not

allowed to pray or mourn in loud voices —

as that might offend Muslims.

The dhimmi also had to show public

deference toward Muslims; for example,

always yielding them the center of the road.

The dhimmi was not allowed to give evidence

in court against a Muslim, and his oath was

unacceptable in an Islamic court. To defend

himself, the dhimmi would have to purchase

Muslim witnesses at great expense. This left

the dhimmi with little legal recourse when

harmed by a Muslim"

Europas dolda konservativa

Såhär på Första Maj....

Daniel Pipes intressanta artikel på Gatestone ligger lite utanför bloggens vanliga ämnesområden. Men då den behandlar en  av Europas ödesfrågor: EU:s destruktiva arbete mot Europas folk och det motstånd som trots allt växer fram, väljer jag att publicera den.

Tyvärr gör Pipes i sin definition av konservatism det vanliga amerikanska misstaget att blanda ihop den med dess motpol liberalismen. Men trots det är dess slutsatser tänkvärda. 

Att Europas framtid ligger i Centraleuropa (Visegrad, Österrike, östra Balkan), snarare än i Bryssel och Frankfurt, kan väl få tänkande europeer förneka...

Civilizationists' top concern is not battling climate change, building the European Union, or staving off Russian and Chinese aggression; rather, they focus on preserving Europe's historic civilization of the past two millennia. They worry about Europe becoming an extension of the Middle East or Africa. That anxiety contains four elements: demography, immigration, multiculturalism, and Islamization (or DIMI, recalling the Arabic word dhimmi, the status of Jews and Christians who submit to the rule of Muslims). Civilizationists... are already a powerful force, having advanced from a marginal position twenty years ago to a central role in many countries. They are the key opposition force in Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden. They have been or are part of the government in Austria, Estonia, Italy, Norway, and Switzerland. They govern in a coalition in Poland and on their own in Hungary. On issues such as demography, immigration, multiculturalism and Islamization, the former Warsaw Pact countries, including the Visegrád Four (Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary), have watched the mistakes of western Europe and resolved not to repeat them. Pictured: (From left) Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, and Slovak Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini before the meeting the Visegrád Group + Austria summit on January 16, 2020 in Prague, Czech Republic.

Does Europe have any conservatives? That is, believers in individual responsibility, national independence, free markets, a single law for all, the traditional family, and maximum freedom of speech and religion.

Seemingly not. Politicians called conservative -- such as Angela Merkel of Germany, Jacques Chirac of France, and Fredrik Reinfeldt of Sweden -- are often in reality mild leftists, as are their parties. One might conclude that conservatism is defunct in its homeland.

One would be wrong. A substantial conservative movement exists and is growing in Europe. It is hiding in plain sight, obscured by being tarred as populists, nationalists, extreme-right, or even neo-Nazis. I call this group by another name: civilizationists, acknowledging that (1) they focus on preserving Western civilization and (2) they forward some distinctly un-conservative policies (such as increased welfare and pension payments).

Civilizationists' top concern is not battling climate change, building the European Union, or staving off Russian and Chinese aggression; rather, they focus on preserving Europe's historic civilization of the past two millennia. They worry about Europe becoming an extension of the Middle East or Africa. Already, indigenous Europeans complain of feeling like strangers in their hometowns, of pensioners too scared to leave their houses, and of a school's few Christian and Jewish students beat up by immigrant bullies. Imagine how things will look as the proportions change.

The civilizationists' anxiety contains four main elements: demography, immigration, multiculturalism and Islamization (or DIMI, recalling the Arabic word dhimmi, the status of Jews and Christians who submit to the rule of Muslims).
DIMI's quartet are closely related: Demographic failure creates a need for Immigration which encourages a Multiculturalism that prominently features Islamization.
Start with demographics: Each year, because of its low birth rate of about 1.5 children per woman, the indigenous population of Europe declines by more than one million persons, a number that steadily increases over time. To maintain the population requires an annual immigration of more than that number (few immigrants arrive in Europe as newborns).
The potential pool of immigrants vastly exceeds that number. To cite just two figures: A former Iranian minister of agriculture predicts that, due to water shortages, up to 70% of the country's population, or 57 million Iranians, will emigrate. The population of Africa is expected to triple by the year 2100, leading to hundreds of millions seeking homes in Europe. One-quarter of the European Union's population in thirty years will be of African origin, according to Stephen Smith.
Non-Western immigration brings a variety of practical difficulties: new diseases, linguistic incomprehension, a lack of necessary work skills, and high unemployment.
Multiculturalism results from a mix of immigrant assertiveness and European guilt and self-doubts. Multiculturalism assumes cultures to be morally equivalent and sees no reason to prefer European civilization over any other. Burqas are as valid ball gowns, burkinis as bikinis.
Finally, Islamization brings a number of hostile actions and superior attitudes incompatible with existing Western ways: compulsory headscarves, partial no-go zones, taharrush (sexual predation), förnedringsrån (humiliation robberies), rape gangs, slavery, first-cousin marriages, polygyny, honor killings, female genital mutilation, the Rushdie Rules, jihadi violence, imposing Islamic law on all, and a deep nihilism.

The Establishment, or what I call the "Six Ps" (police, politicians, press, priests, professors, and prosecutors) tends to respond smugly to the DIMI quartet. Focused on the negatives in Europe's history, especially imperialism, fascism, and racism, the elite expresses a pervasive guilt and generally acquiesces to, or even encourages, a transformation of Europe away from its historic culture.

Civilizationists respond to this trend with conservative alarm and work to resist that transformation. They do not feel guilty; on the contrary, they appreciate national traditions, and they see Europe becoming an extension of the Middle East or Africa as a collapse of values and an as existential cultural threat.
The Establishment dismisses them as old-fashioned, weak, elderly, ignorant losers. Even analysts sympathetic to civilizationists, including distinguished writers such as Bat Ye'or, Oriana Fallaci and Mark Steyn, see the cause as lost, and see "Londonistan" and the Islamic Republic of France as inevitable.

But it is not. Civilizationists are already a powerful force, having advanced from a marginal position twenty years ago to a central role in many countries. They have been or are the main parliamentary opposition in Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden. They have been or are part of the government in Austria, Estonia, Italy, Norway, and Switzerland. They govern in a coalition in Poland and on their own in Hungary. Their failure is far from inevitable.

In this light, some predictions:
First, because no one says, "I used to worry about DIMI but no longer," the number of civilizationists will continue to grow. Within 15 or at most 20 years they are likely to dominate Europe's politics, with the possible major exception of the United Kingdom, where they are stalled. After a long and bitter struggle, this countermovement to restore traditional ways will ultimately prevail.
Second, the civilizationists have three paths to power: control of the government, as in Hungary and Poland; joining with nominal conservatives, as in Austria; or joining with the Left, as in Italy. Also, in limited ways, the Left itself can bring some conservative ideas to power, as in Denmark. Further new paths may yet appear.
Third, the former Warsaw Pact countries will lead the way toward this future. Watching the mistakes of NATO Europe, they resolve not to repeat them. This includes the Visegrád Four (Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary) as well as eastern Germany, Romania, and Bulgaria. The eastern part of Europe has for a millennium lagged behind the western part, so this is a remarkable turnaround.
Fourth, civilizationists are hardly known for their intellectualism or principles, so seeing them as conservatives may come as a surprise. But they are moving erratically in that direction. What begins with instinct, raw populism, and crude majoritarianism is evolving into something more refined, as civilizationists move to the political center to win support. Experience modulates self-indulgence. 
Intellectuals are emerging; these include Douglas Murray (UK), Alejandro Macarón (Spain), Renaud Camus (France). Bat Ye'or (Switzerland), Thilo Sarrazin (Germany), Christian Zeitz (Austria), Viktor Orbán (Hungary), and Lars Hedegaard (Denmark).

Staving off the crisis created by demographics, immigration, multiculturalism and Islamization means preserving the continent's best features. Civilizationists represent the hope for conservatism and for the future of Europe.

Femtio stater kristna bör undvika

Såhär inför semestern:
Danska Kristeligt Dagblad har
förtecknat femtio resmål som
de tycker alla kristna bör undvika.
Listan härrör från brittiska Religious

biskopen av Shrewsbury varnar för länder
som förföljer kristna bland den inhemska
befolkningen.

Som ni ser är det (med få undantag)
endast kommunistiska eller muslimska
stater på listan. De flesta muslimska
stater tillämpar, officiellt eller inofficiellt,
sharialagstiftning i religionsfrågor.
De som är födda kristna tolereras så
länge de finner sig i sin dhimmi-roll,
medan religionsbyten från islam
medför stränga straff….

Kommentar:
Det rör sig alltså om stater eller
områden inom stater där inhemska
kristna diskrimineras och/eller förföljs.
Att undvika sådana resmål är en
etisk/moralisk fråga....
Förteckningar över resmål som är
farliga för turister finner ni bl a på UD:s
hemsida.

Ramadan-läsning: Är fredlig samexistens möjlig ?

Fortsätter på temat islam contra det västerländska

samhället. Ett tips i den alltför sporadiskt ukommande

Islambloggen

förde mig till en artikel i Katolsk Observatör av

den lärde kardinalen George Pell, ärkebiskop

av Sydney:

Kan Islam och de västliga demokratierna

leva tillsammans i fred?

Ett litet smakprov:

"Historien om de muslimska relationerna med de

kristna och judarna ger oss inte anledning att känna

optimism på det sätt som en del människor så lättvindigt

tror. Påståendena att muslimerna skulle ha varit så

toleranta mot sina kristna och judiska minoriteter hör

till stor del till mytens värld, och historien om islams

erövring och dominering av Mellanöstern, den iberiska

halvön och Balkanländerna är tillräckligt starkt bevis

för detta.

I området som i modern tid upptas av Spanien och

Portugal, där muslimerna regerade från år 716, och

som inte blev helt befriat från muslimskt styre förrän

år 1491 när man fick ge upp Granada, tolererades

kristna och judar bara som ”dhimmis”. Som straff

för att de inte var muslimer utsattes de för beskattning,

rättslig diskriminering och en hel rad av större och

mindre förödmjukelser. Om en dhimmi skadade en

muslim gick hela hans församling miste om beskydd

och kunde utan rättslig påföljd för förövarna bli utsatt

för plundring, förslavning och mord. Hårda repressalier

som kunde inkludera stympning, deportation och

korsfästelse, ålades kristna som bad kristna kungar

om hjälp eller vilka kunde misstänkas ha konverterat

till islam av opportunistiska skäl. Razzior i syfte att

plundra ägde rum flera gånger om året mot de spanska

kungadömena i norr och också mot Frankrike och Italien

och hemförde byte i form av slavar. Kalifen i Andalusien

ägde en armé bestående av kristna slavar från hela Europa

och hade också ett harem som bestod av tillfångatagna

kristna kvinnor. Den judiska församlingen på den iberiska

halvön led liknande former av diskriminering och utstod

bestraffningar, vilka innefattade tillsägelser om hur en jude

skulle vara klädd. En pogrom som ägde rum i Granada

år 1066 utrotade den judiska befolkningen där och dödade

mer än femtusen människor.

Det arabiska styret i Spanien och Portugal var en katastrof

för kristna och judar, liksom det turkiska var i Balkan-

länderna. Den ottomanska erövringen av Balkan började

i mitten på 1400-talet och fullföljdes under de

nästkommande tvåhundra åren. Kyrkor förstördes eller

förvandlades till moskéer och de judiska och kristna

befolkningarna tvingades att byta boplatser och att

bli slavar. Utdelande eller tillbakadragande av skydd

berodde helt och hållet på sinnelaget hos den

ottomanske härskaren som just var vid makten.

Kristna som vägrade att avfalla från sin tro blev

beskattade och fick utföra tvångsarbete. Där som

utövandet av tron inte helt förbjöds utsattes det

dock för hinder – till exempel genom införandet av

söndagen som den enda lagligt tillåtna marknadsdagen.

Våldsam förföljelse var ett ständigt hot. Enligt beräkningar

av forskarna avrättade ottomanerna före det grekiska

självständighetskriget år 1828 elva patriarker av

Konstantinopel, nära etthundra biskopar och flera

tusen präster, diakoner och munkar. Lekmän förbjöds

att utöva vissa yrken och hantverk, ibland till och med

från att rida på en häst med sadel och ända fram till

sjuttonhundratalet levde deras tonårspojkar under hotet

av att bli slavar inom militärväsendet och att tvingas

till omvändelse. Detta gjorde att det eventuellt fanns

en miljon janitsjarsoldater under det ottomanska väldet.

Under bysantinskt välde ägde halvön en hög nivå av

ekonomisk produktivitet och kulturell utveckling.

Allt detta sveptes bort av den ottomanska erövringen

och ersattes med en allmän och utdragen nedgång

i produktivitet. "

"Det finns ingen moderat islam"

Så här i Vilks-tider har Gates of Vienna

funnit ett intressant uttalande:

“There is no moderate or immoderate Islam.

Islam is Islam and that’s it."

”Who said that?

Robert Spencer? Serge Trifkovic? Fjordman? Bat Ye’or?

No, the Prime Minister of Turkey said it,

on Turkish television.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is the leader of

Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi

(AKP, or Justice and Development Party),

and has been Prime Minister since 2003.

His party is an Islamic party, but is considered

“moderate” as such things go, at least by the

wishful-thinking dhimmi politicians and

media pundits of the West.

Apparently, however, he’s sick of the “moderate”

label being bandied about.

He’d like to remind everybody that,

just as there is only one Allah, there is only one Islam.

None of this “moderate” crap for him!"

Imam till holländska barn: Ni är hundar !

Barnen på grundskolan De Horizon i Amsterdam

håller på med ett temaarbete om olika religioner.

Avsikten är att öka barnens tolerans.

Som ett led i det skulle de besöka den stora saudi-

finansierade El Mouchidine-moskén.

Där möts tio-åringarna av en ilsken imam som

bl a talar om för dem att de är otroende

och att alla otroende är hundar.

Skolledningen blev upprörd och skrev och klagade.

Nu är naturligtvis allt ett MISSFÖRSTÅND....

Men barnen har fått en god inblick i hur det är att

vara dhimmi i morgondagens Holland. Besöket blev

kanske mera lärorikt än vad som var avsikten....

Klein Verzet

Toalett fascinerar islamistisk pirat

De fem islamistiska pirater som holländska marinen

grep på bar gärning utanför Somalias kust har tydligen

dragit en vinstlott. I ett holländskt fängelse kan man äta,

spela fotboll och titta på TV och så finns där riktiga vatten-

klosetter. Helt annorlunda än det strävsamma livet som

sjörövare, berättar Jihad Watch:

Once again, dhimmis allow Muslim aggression to be a win-win
for them: be a sea-faring pirate and earn lots of booty; get
caught and become a citizen of the Netherlands. "Netherlands:
Somali pirates thinking of immigrating," from Islam in Europe,
May 18:
Arrested Somali pirates who are now in the Netherlands on trial

for their deeds say they would like to stay in the Netherlands.
"It's a good life here."
Suspected pirate Sayid will stand trial on Monday with four of his
countrymen in the first Dutch pirate trial. "I want an education
during my imprisonment, and I appeal to the government not
to send me back to Somalia. The people who live here respect
human rights. I want to live here," he told Volkskrant.
Nothing like a little flattery to pull dhimmi heartstrings.
Fellow suspect Farah also thinks the Netherlands is good. "My
client feels safe here. He eat[s] well, can play football and watch
television. He thinks the toilet in his cell is so fantastic,"

according to his lawyer Willem-Jan Ausma.
According to De Volkskrant Ausma explained to his client that he
could realistically get four years in prison and that he has a
chance for a residence permit. "He's naturally delighted.
He hopes to do computer training and to have his

family come over."
The lawyer fee[l]s that the trials in the Netherlands, but
also in France, the US and Kenya, would encourage
potential pirates rather than deter them.
"Anything is better than sitting on a wharf in Somalia."

Söndagsläsning: En dhimmi-församling i Norden ?

Gellerup är en förstad till danska

Århus. Vi skulle väl kalla den för

typisk miljonprogram-slum. Inte

bara den en gång så strålande

vita betongen har sett bättre dagar.

Sedan drygt tio år tillbaka befolkas

Gellerup huvudsakligen av asylsökare

från Mellanöstern. Det är en orolig miljö.

När polisen vågar sig dit är det med

ordentlig slagstyrka. Resten av tiden

är det ett antal libanesiska och somaliska

ligistgäng som styr. Stadsdelen har

också ofta figurerat i de talrika

polisutredningarna om islamistisk

terrorism.

**

Uriasposten har en litet reportage

med bilder från Gellerup.

**

Till skillnad från t ex Rosengård finns

det fortfarande en kyrka i området.

Den har en liten grupp danska pensionärer

och en del kristna flyktingar från Mellan-

östern som församling. Kyrkan liknar en

bunker och är väl inhägnad med kraftiga staket.

För tre år sedan funderade man på att stänga.

Kyrkan och kyrkobesökarna utsattes dagligen

för vandalisering, inbrott, rån och hot. Då kom

kyrkoherden på en snilleblixt: Två män från den

största libanesiska klanen i området "anställdes"

av kyrkan. Och si, så fort första betalningen skett

försvann allt buset och hoten.....

**

Nu finns det onda tungor som

vill jämföra kyrkans betalningar

med Jizya , den "skyddsskatt" som

"dhimmis", d v s judar och kristna,

måste betala i ett muslimskt land

för att få leva och inte utsättas

för jihad. I så fall är det den

första lutherska kyrkan i Norden

som betalar jizya.

Blir det också den sista...?

**

Den ende politiker som tycks

begripa vad som håller på att

ske i Gellerup är Dansk Folkepartis

Jesper Langballe. Han hävdar

den inte orimliga ståndpunkten

att det är polisens skyldighet

att skydda medborgarna och att

ingen ska behöva betala för

"beskydd".

Skrämmande statistik från Storbritannien

Iceviking har botaniserat i brittiska opinions-
undersökningar.
Det han upptäckte var inte särskilt upplyftande....

Another poll of British Muslims
From Dhimmi Watch, March 14, 2004:
"And almost half said they might consider becoming a suicide
bomber if they lived as a Palestinian."
"More than one in 10 British Muslims back al Qaida-style
terror strikes on the United States, a poll has revealed."

"In the run up to the anniversary of war in Iraq, more
condemned the recent Gulf conflict than attacks on America."
"An overwhelming 80% say Britain and the US should not
have launched the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
That is significantly higher than the 73% opposed to
terrorist strikes on the US, according to the ICM survey
for The Guardian.
Attacks on the US by al Qaida or other
groups were viewed as justified by 13% of the 500 British
Muslims questioned.Another 15% said they did not know
whether the such attacks are wrong or right.
Far fewer, 10%, said Prime Minister Tony Blair and US
President George Bush were right to go to war.Liberal
Democrat MP Jenny Tonge provoked fury when she said
that despite condemning violence living as a Palestinian
could have driven her to become a suicide bomber.However,
47% of Muslims agreed compared with just 15% of all of
those questioned. . . .
One of Britain’s most radical Muslim leaders said he believed
the majority of Muslims in the UK supported al Qaida-style
error attacks on the United States.Sheikh Omar Bakri
Muhammad, who heads the London-based group Al-Muhajiroun,
said British Muslims were afraid to voice their real feelings about
the coalition war in Iraq.And he claimed that far more
were pro-Osama bin Laden than really admitted
I am sure the real figure who support al Qaida is much higher
than one in 10.
“Since the introduction of the new anti-terrorism laws,
Muslims are terrified to speak their minds.“
I believe it is the majority of Muslims in the West who
support al Qaida. This is beyond doubt.
