Islamism 2.0 - nu ännu farligare

Daniel Pipes hade ett varningsord till

Västerlandet i onsdagens Jerusalem Post:

To borrow a computer term, if Ayatollah Khomeini, Osama bin Laden, and Nidal Hasan represent Islamism 1.0, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (the prime minister of Turkey), Tariq Ramadan (a Swiss intellectual), and Keith Ellison (a U.S. congressman) represent Islamism 2.0. The former kill more people but the latter pose a greater threat to Western civilization.

Hussam Ayloush hosted Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minn) at a CAIR event in November 2007.The 1.0 version attacks those perceived as obstructing its goal of a society ruled by a global caliphate and totally regulated by the Shari'a (Islamic law). Islamism's original tactics, from totalitarian rule to mega-terrorism, encompass unlimited brutality. Three thousand dead in one attack? Bin Laden's search for atomic weaponry suggests the murderous toll could be a hundred or even a thousand times larger.
However, a review of the past three decades, since Islamism became a significant political force, finds that violence alone rarely works. Survivors of terrorism rarely capitulate to radical Islam – not after the assassination of Anwar el-Sadat in Egypt in 1981, nor the 9/11 attacks, the Bali bombings of 2002, the Madrid bombing of 2004, the Amman bombing of 2005, or the terrorist campaigns in Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Terrorism does physical damage and kills and intimidates but it rarely overturns the existing order. Imagine Islamists had caused the devastation of Hurricane Katrina or the 2004 tsunami – what could these have lastingly achieved?
Non-terrorist violence aimed at applying the Shari'a does hardly better. Revolution (meaning, a wide-scale social revolt) took Islamists to power in just one place at one time - Iran in 1978–79. Likewise, coup d'état (a military overthrow) carried them to power just once – Sudan in 1989. Same for civil war – Afghanistan in 1996.
If the violence of Islamism 1.0 rarely succeeds in forwarding the Shari'a, the Islamism 2.0 strategy of working through the system does better. Islamists, adept at winning public opinion, represent the main opposition force in Muslim-majority countries such as Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, and Kuwait. Islamists have enjoyed electoral success in Algeria in 1992, Bangladesh in 2001, Turkey in 2002, and Iraq in 2005.
Once in power, they can move the country toward Shari'a. As Mahmoud Ahmadinejad faces the wrath of Iranian street demonstrators and bin Laden cowers in a cave, Erdoğan basks in public approval, remakes the Republic of Turkey, and offers an enticing model for Islamists worldwide.
Sayyid Imam al-Sharif, the Egyptian theorist of Al-Qaeda, changed his approach and now endorses lawful Islamism.Recognizing this pattern, Al-Qaeda's once-leading theorist has publicly repudiated terrorism and adopted political means. Sayyid Imam al-Sharif (b. 1950, also known by the nom de guerre Dr. Fadl) was accused of helping assassinate Sadat. In 1988 he published a book that argued for perpetual, violent jihad against the West. With time, however, Sharif observed the inutility of violent attacks and instead advocated a strategy of infiltrating the state and influencing society.
In a recent book, he condemned the use of force against Muslims ("Every drop of blood that was shed or is being shed in Afghanistan and Iraq is the responsibility of bin Laden and Zawahiri and their followers") and even against non-Muslims (9/11 was counterproductive, for "what good is it if you destroy one of your enemy's buildings, and he destroys one of your countries? What good is it if you kill one of his people, and he kills a thousand of yours?").
Sharif's evolution from theorist of terrorism to advocate of lawful transformation echoes a much broader shift; accordingly, as author Lawrence Wright notes, his defection poses a "terrible threat" to Al-Qaeda. Other once-violent Islamist organizations in Algeria, Egypt, and Syria have recognized the potential of lawful Islamism and largely renounced violence. One also sees a parallel shift in Western countries; Ramadan and Ellison represent a burgeoning trend.
(What one might call Islamism 1.5 – a combination of hard and soft means, of external and internal approaches – also works. It involves lawful Islamists softening up the enemy, then violent elements seizing power. The Hamas takeover of Gaza proved that such a combination can work: win elections in 2006, then stage a violent insurrection in 2007. Similar processes are possibly underway in Pakistan. The United Kingdom might be undergoing the opposite process, whereby violence creates a political opening.)
In conclusion, only Islamists, not fascists or communists, have gone well beyond crude force to win public support and develop a 2.0 version. Because this aspect of Islamism undermines traditional values and destroys freedoms, it may threaten civilized life even more than does 1.0's brutality.

Daniel Pipes: Merkel's historic folly

 

Gårdagens jihad i Marseille 

 

Daniel Pipes var en av de första forskare som varnade Västerlandet för den expanderande islamismen.
Hans artiklar har fungerat som lärorika varningsklockor för de politiker och journalister, som är mottagliga för fakta. 
Inför tyska valet häromveckan skrev han en uppmärksammad artikel om Angela Merkels stora misstag. Den har publicerats över hela världen, inte minst i Tyskland....
Jag har hämtat ett utdrag från israeliska Arutz Sheva.
 

Mr. Pipes, You have written that Angela Merkel's decision to open the border to over a million migrants in 2015 "will likely be seen as a turning point in European history." You are a historian, so, what do you mean by this expression?                                                                                                                             I expect that when the evolution of European civilization is studied in the future, August 2015 will be seen as a key moment. The decision to allow unlimited immigration into Germany has had profound implications for Europe by raising this issue in a more acute way than ever before, creating divisions both among native Europeans who are for and against large-scale immigration and between native and new Europeans.

What basic questions do Europeans face?
Lacking sufficient children, the question is whether Europeans will they continue passively to accept whomever turns up, even if they lack skills and come from a largely hostile culture or whether they will develop a plan of controlled immigration, selecting people around the world most suited to bring skills and fit in? Germany's decision to open the borders meant choosing the former option.

Why are relations between Europeans and Muslim immigrants so fraught with tension?
They are fraught because Islam is an imperialist faith and many Muslim immigrants want to replace existing European civilization with Islam. Exacerbating matters, Europeans and Muslims are opposites on several key issues: Europeans have a low birthrate, Muslim immigrants have a high one. Europeans have a weak religious identity, Muslims have a strong one. Europeans feel guilty for their historical sins; immigrants have boisterous confidence in the superiority of their civilization.

 

Many Germans argue that as a rich nation, they morally must open their doors to people in need.
I admire that humanitarian impulse but it is unrealistic. Can Germany take in, say, 2 billion people? If not, how does it morally pick the tiny percentage it does allow in?

Is it not strange that migrants from Syria and Iraq move to places like Germany and Sweden? They would be better off going to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, where the climate, the language, the religion, and the mores are all like their own; plus, these countries are much closer to Syria.

What, then, is the answer?
Practically speaking, see the world in terms of cultural and geographic zones: Westerners in need should stay in the West, Middle Easterners should stay in the Middle East, and so forth around the globe. Is it not strange that migrants from Syria and Iraq move to places like Germany and Sweden? They would be better off going to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, where the climate, the language, the religion, and the mores are all like their own; plus, these countries are much closer to Syria

Cultures and customs change. Perhaps Muslims will adapt to European cultures if given the opportunity?
In theory, yes; in practice, no. Experience shows that the first generation of Muslim immigrants to Europe is more adaptable than its children and grandchildren, as cultural separation increases over time. It is hard to find any place in Europe where Muslim immigrants have assimilated, leading me gravely to doubt that this will take place in the future. Chileans, Chinese, and Congolese fit better into European culture than do Muslims.

Many Muslims of immigrant origins point to discrimination as a factor hindering them from fully integrating into German society.
Yes, discrimination is a problem. I would not want to be named Muhammad and look for a job in Hamburg. But that supports my argument that it is better to be named Muhammad in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. Why push together peoples who, as the last 55 years have shown, cannot live easily together? As Thilo Sarrazin has showed, the experiment of Muslim immigration has failed; continuing it will increase tensions.

 

You stress that Islamism, not Islam, is the threat. How do you define Islamism?
Islamism is a specific understanding of Islam that holds if Muslims wish to return to the riches and power of 1,000 years ago, they must apply the Islamic law in its entirety. Islamists argue among themselves how to do so: the modern-oriented Gülen movement in Turkey represents one extreme and ISIS, which wants to return to the seventh century, represents the other. Some Islamists use violence, others work through the political system. In this way, they resemble communists, with their major tactical differences but similar goals

You describe "the Islamist threat" as "arguably the most consequential issue of our time" facing the West. Islamist terror can certainly do damage but how can Islamists threaten the West as a whole, given the West's dominant economic and military power?
I see Islamism as the third great totalitarian threat after communism and fascism, a seductive and powerful body of ideas that threatens our way of life. And just as we had to fight against the fascism and communism, we now must fight Islamism.

When you say that the West needs to fight Islamism, what kind of fight are you thinking of - cultural, political, or military?
Fighting violence is the easy part because murderous jihadi attacks are frightening and the West has police departments, intelligence agencies and armed forces competent to deal with this problem. Further, this low-level violence destroys property and kills people but cannot shift civilizations. Lawful Islamists, in contrast, by working within the system, in the political, educational, philanthropic, or media arenas, have a potentially profound influence. While I'd rather encounter a lawful Islamist rather than a violent jihadi on the street, only non-violent tactics change the face of society; and relatively few Westerners even notice what's happening.

How do you view Europe's response to Islamism?

Compared to 20 years ago, a great leap in awareness has occurred – but not enough yet to make a difference in policy. Virtually everywhere in Europe, political parties exist that make immigration and Islamism a priority, but almost none of them has been in power because these groups tend to be staffed by amateurs, contain too many extremists, and are ostracized. As a result, they cannot reach 51 percent.

 

Like the Alternative für Deutschland in Germany, the only party that consistently opposes Muslim immigration?
Precisely. The AfD is an excellent example of amateurs mixed with extremists trying to figure out who they are – liberals, Neo-Nazis, or something in between? As long as they leave this question open, their electoral potential is limited, and they are dangerous. But I expect that eventually the AfD will mature, and I think and hope it will move toward the mainstream for there clearly exists a need for such a party in Germany. But every year that goes by, the danger grows.

Will the anti-immigration remain excluded from power?
No, I expect this will change, that these parties will start to gain power within a decade.

The AfD stands below 10 percent in the polls while Merkel's CDU gets almost 40 percent. Does this signal that Germans are not that unhappy with Merkel's immigration policies?
I am surprised by and cannot explain the lack of a CDU challenge to Merkel.

Geert Wilders of the Netherlands, one of the most prominent politicians against Muslim immigration, has been put on trial for hate speech. Your organization helped cover his legal costs; why?
We at the Middle East Forum believe in the freedom publicly to state opinions on matters concerning Islam and Islamism, whether or not we happen to agree with that opinion. Toward this end, our Legal Project often helps defendants pay legal costs, including Wilders' a few years ago. I disagree with his views on who the enemy is (he says Islam, I say Islamism) but that is secondary; I will help him, as any Westerner, assert the right to talk about Islam without getting hauled into Court.

Is Donald Trump's "Muslim ban" a useful way to keep Islamists out of the United States?
The Trump administration's ban of the citizens of six majority-Muslim countries was well-intentioned but poorly executed. One should not look at a person's passport but at his ideas. Some Canadians are our enemies and some Iranians are our friends. Of course, ideas are more elusive than nationality. But banning certain nationalities does not offer protection; that requires a serious effort to know each person entering the country.

The city of Hamburg in 2012 signed an accord, a "Staatsvertrag" with Muslim groups such as Ditib, Schura, and VIKZ to regulate Islamic classes and holidays. Members of those organization have been accused of Islamism and antisemitism, yet the authorities cannot a find clean Muslim organization. Your comment?
Islamists are much better funded and organized than non-Islamist Muslims, in part because they receive help from Middle Eastern states such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey. This permits them routinely to dominate Muslim life in the West, appearing on television, engaging in interreligious dialogue, teaching in classrooms, and (as in this case) partnering with governments.

You want Western governments to empower moderate Muslims but in Germany, only a few Muslims have showed up to protest Islamism, so who and where are the moderates?
Calls for mass Muslim support against Islamism always fail in the West. (Muslim-majority countries are another matter.) In part this results from a lack of funding and organization, in part to intimidation: it takes an awful lot of courage to be a Muslim and to come out publicly against Islamism. The new liberal Ibn Ruschd-Goethe mosque in Berlin is a good example: its founder, Seyran Ateş, has received death threats.

What should Western governments do?
Strongly support non-Islamist Muslims - and especially anti-Islamist Muslims. Islamists like Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan claim there is only one kind of Islam, namely theirs. No: there are many versions of Islam and non-Muslims should reject, and certainly not enable, Islamist hegemony. Rather, brave anti-Islamists like Ateş should get official recognition and other forms of support.

Daniel Pipes is president and founder of the Middle East Forum and has authored 12 books., He is considered one of the world’s foremost analysts on the Middle East and Muslim history. He warned of militant Islam's war with the USA years before 9.11 and called Arafat's bluff at Oslo.



Förbjud Hizballahs verksamhet i Sverige !

      

Ledarsidorna uppmanar svenska regeringen att göra som alltflera utländska regeringar (nu senast den tyska):
Förbjuda den islamistiska terrororganisationen Hizballahs ("Guds parti") subversiva verksamhet i Sverige.
Men förklarar också varför det är mycket otroligt att 
socialdemokraterna, med intima relationer med flera islamistorganisationer, skulle våga göra så...

****
Israel ställer krav på att även Sverige agerar mot den terroklassade organisationen Hezbollah. Men sannolikheten för att regeringen Löfven skall över huvud taget agera på den israeliska propån bör betecknas som minimala. Hezbollah har i flera fall ännu godare relationer med socialdemokraterna än det Muslimska brödraskapet.

Efrat Hochstetler, vice beskickningschef på israeliska ambassaden menar att Sverige bör följa Tysklands exempel och inskränka eller förbjuda organisationen Hezbollah i Sverige i en debattartikel i Expressen.
Hezbollah är en islamistisk shiamuslimsk organisation som uppvisar både stora likheter men samtidigt stora skillnader med det sunnimuslimska Muslimska brödraskapet.

Inledningsvis är Hezbollah av ett betydligt yngre datum. Grundat 1982 som en konsekvens av det libanesiska inbördeskriget och på initiativ från Teheran. Hezbollah var inledningsvis en social rörelse, precis som det nästan 100 år gamla sunnimuslimska Brödraskapet, men som sedan kom att utveckla en stridande del. Fram tills idag har flera länder valt att terrorklassa den stridande, eller väpnade delen av Hezbollah, men Tyskland har valt att förbjuda hela organisationen då Hezbollah själva menar att den agerar som en enad front.

Ur ett ideologiskt och ekumeniskt perspektiv finns stora skillnader mellan Hezbollah och Brödraskapet. Hezbollah vilar dels på en shiamuslimsk islamism som tar sitt avstamp i iraniern Ali Shariatis av postmarxismen influerade tolkningar av koranen. Ali Shariatis shiitiska islamism, som av vissa även kallas för shiism, låg till grund för den iranska revolutionen 1979.

Där Brödraskapet har tagit sina influenser från nazismen har Hezbollah tagit sina från Sovjetkommunismen.


Hezbollah har inte heller Brödraskapets ambition med ett värlsdomspännande kalifat som primärt huvudmål. Hezbollah är en utbräglad enfrågerörelse som domineras av sitt hat mot judar och sin ambition att radera staten Israel för gott.

Som en öppet radikal och våldsbejakande minoritet i en minoritet, en islamism i den shiamuslimska minoriteten, har Hezbollah haft det svårt att etablera sig i Västeuropa. Men även om det har varit svårt att få fäste för organisationen innebär det inte att den inte har etablerat sig och inte heller att den inte utgör ett reellt hot. Och i likhet med Brödraskapets nätverksorganisationer och företrädare har Hezbollah goda kontakter med främst Socialdemokraterna. Hezbollahs företrädare har kunnat uppträda både avslappnat och öppet på arrangemang och manifestationer där socialdemokratiska företrädare engagerats.

Ur Hezbollahs program från 1985 går att läsa bland annat

“vår kamp tar slut först när denna entitet [Israel] är förintad”.

Historiska exempel på detta är när dagens kommunalråd i Norrköping, Lars Stjernkvist under sin tid som partisekreterare för Socialdemokraterna höll tal om Israel-Palestina — konflikten. I publikhavet kunde då Hezbollahs fana vaja obehindrat. Stjernkvist menade på en direkt fråga att han inte såg något olämpligt i detta. Andra som uppträtt obehindrat när dess symboler varit närvarande är bland annat den tidigare partiledaren Mona Sahlin, förre vice generalsekreteraren och utrikesministern Jan Eliasson samt regeringen Löfvens socialförsäkringsminister Ardalan Shekarabi.

2009 kunde Mona Sahlin och Jan Eliasson uppträda tillsammans i en demonstration där fanor för Hamas och Hizbollah vajade för vinden. Stora flaggor, fullt synliga. I demonstrationen sågs också hakkors. Senare under protestmötet stacks den israeliska flaggan i brand. Utan reaktioner från vare sig Sahlin eller Eliasson.

2009  kunde även Ardalan Shekarabi ses på Sergels Torg i Stockholm sida vid sida med Omar Mustafa, senare ordförande för en av Brödraskapets nätverksorganisationer i Sverige — IFiS. I publikhavet samsades Hezbollahs baner med symboler för Brödraskapet.

Detta trots kunskapen om att Hezbollah idag beräknas ha en omfattande arsenal av avancerade stridsspetsar riktade mot Israel stationerade i södra Libanon. Inte sällan har även Muslimska brödraskapets olika symboler samt hakkorset lyfts fram vid dessa manifestationer i socialdemokraters närvaro. Utan reaktioner från regeringspartiet.

I riksdagen finns även andra företrädare som till exempel riksdagsledamoten från Malmö Jamal el Haj, S. Även han har uppträtt på manifestationer där både Hamas symboler samt Hezbollahs flagga varit placerade i hans direkta närhet. El Haj menade att han inte kände till flaggans betydelse vilket gör honom unik. Uppvuxen i Libanon och samtida med rörelsen torde el Haj vara den enda exil-palestinier med libanesiskt ursprung som inte känner till rörelsens symboler. El Haj är idag suppleant för socialdemokraterna i utrikesutskottet.

På ett internationellt plan närmar sig nu de olika islamistiska rörelserna varandra. Vinsterna för dem av ett samarbete är uppenbara. Hezbollah kan uppvisa en helt annan ekonomi än Brödraskapet då Hezbollah dels kontrollerar eller har kontrollerat oljekällor i bland annat Sudan samt har IRGC, det iranska revolutionsgardet och den iranska regimen som sponsorer. Vad Brödraskapet har å sin sida är ett starkt varumärke som inte är lika förknippat med öppet användande av våld samt en unikt god organisationsförmåga att använda sig av i etableringen i väst.

Efrat Hochstetler aktualiserar frågan om hur Sverige hanterar våldsbejakande islamistiska rörelser. Sverige har så här långt inte i nämnvärd omfattning bidragit till den internationella koordineringen av arbetet mot våldsbejakande islamism. 
Sverige är bekräftat den största nettoexportören av våldsbejakande och våldstillämpande islamism i EU vid sidan av Belgien. Sverige är en av de största nettoexportörerna per capita av IS-terrorister och utgör en ”safe haven” för radikaliserande organisationer som Brödraskapet. Inte sällan med statsbidrag eller andra offentligt finansierade bidrag förklädda till kulturbidrag, folkbildningsanslag eller annan utbildning.
Och även om Hezbollah är att betrakta som en extrem enfrågerörelse i minoritet innebär det inte att organisationen inte utgör ett hot. 
Det allt mer aktiva samarbetet, internationellt och i Sverige med Brödraskapet, samt avslappnade förhållningssättet från ledande socialdemokrater som Mona Sahlin, Lars Stjernkvist samt Ardalan Shekarabi är ett av flera tecken som styrker att även Hezbollah kunnat flytta fram sina positioner och bygga upp en plattform att agera utifrån.
Ingen av dessa partiföreträdare, allt från Mona Sahlin och Jan Eliasson över till Lars Stjernkvist och Ardalan Shekarabi bör heller anses vara omedvetna om organisationens mål, syften och antisemitiska grundvärderingar.

Rushdie m fl: Islamismen globalt hot

"Efter att ha besegrat fascismen, nazismen och stalinismen står
nu världen inför ett nytt globalt totalitärt hot: Islamismen."

Här är hela manifestet som Salman Rushdie och elva andra framträdande
europeiska intellektuella publicerar i den franska tidningen
Charlie Hebdo idag.

MANIFESTO: Together facing the new totalitarianism

After having overcome fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, the world now
faces a new totalitarian global threat: Islamism.

We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious
totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity
and secular values for all.
The recent events, which occurred after the publication of drawings
of Muhammed in European newspapers, have revealed the necessity
of the struggle for these universal values. This struggle will not be won
by arms, but in the ideological field. It is not a clash of civilisations nor
an antagonism of West and East that we are witnessing, but a global
struggle that confronts democrats and theocrats.

Like all totalitarianisms, Islamism is nurtured by fears and frustrations.
The hate preachers bet on these feelings in order to form battalions
destined to impose a liberticidal and unegalitarian world.
But we clearly and firmly state: nothing, not even despair, justifies the
choice of obscurantism, totalitarianism and hatred.

Islamism is a reactionary ideology which kills equality, freedom and
secularism wherever it is present. Its success can only lead to a world
of domination: man's domination of woman, the Islamists' domination
of all the others. To counter this, we must assure universal rights to
oppressed or discriminated people.

We reject « cultural relativism », which consists in accepting that men
and women of Muslim culture should be deprived of the right to equality,
freedom and secular values in the name of respect for cultures and traditions.

We refuse to renounce our critical spirit out of fear of being accused of
"Islamophobia", an unfortunate concept which confuses criticism of Islam
as a religion with stigmatisation of its believers.

We plead for the universality of freedom of expression, so that a critical
spirit may be exercised on all continents, against all abuses and all dogmas.

We appeal to democrats and free spirits of all countries that our century
should be one of Enlightenment, not of obscurantism.

"Islamism är fascism !"

Den modige algeriske journalisten

Mohamed Sifaoui, numera i exil i

Frankrike, är fullständigt klar i

sin analys av islamismen:

I certainly am one of the first Muslims to consider Islamism to be fascism. This is not a subjective decision but rather a serious, academic argument. Fascism and Islamism are comparable in many aspects: Fascism, without evoking all its particularities, bears similarities to trends also present in Islamism. I am, of course, making a reference to their will to exterminate the Jews. On this point, the Islamists may go even further in their doctrine than the Nazis did, considering that the end of the world could only occur when there are no Jews left on earth. In the three monotheist religions, apocalypse, end of the world, and doomsday exist and are liturgical events invested with a high degree of spirituality. Hence, the Islamists interpret the end of the world in a very special way. Whereas it is written nowhere in the Qur'an, exegetes describe the end of the world as the day when even the trees and rocks will be able to talk and tell the Muslims: "Come here, there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him." And this would go on, until there would not be any Jew left on earth. This ideology is pure fascism.

Some people stop and show interest. Others roll

their eyes, and keep walking. But, would you ever

expect anyone to threaten her? Call her a racist,

and try to get her arrested?

*
Islamists would. And that is exactly what happened

to two English Christian ministers who had the

nerve to proselytize on a street corner in a pre-

dominantly Muslim immigrant area in the UK

in 2007.

*
Such freedom of speech violations won't be an

anomaly if the Organization of the Islamic

Conference (OIC), which has a permanent

delegation to the United Nations, succeeds in

passing a UN resolution against "Defamation of

Religion". Noboby in a western country will be

able to discuss the socio-political consequences

of Muslim immigration, for fear of being labeled

"Islamophobic" and slapped with a fine, or even

jail time.

*
Islamists are increasingly using lawful Islamism,

or non-violent and legal strategies to spread

Sharia, (Islamic law) in the West, encroaching

on non-Muslim life everyday. Other examples

include:

*
1. Sharia Finance;

2. Islam in public schools;

3. Violations of basic hygiene policy by

Muslim medical staff;

4. Workplace violations in the name of

religious freedom;

5. Censorship of literature.

*
Under the banner of "religious freedom," Islamists

attack the very fabric of democracy in favor of

Islam in the public sphere. The above examples

are not examples of pluralism, but a violation of

the separation of church and state doctrine meant

to keep people of all faiths, or no faith, equal under

the law. Liberals have forgotten that secularism is

not a free-for-all, but has boundaries in order to

remain meaningful.

*
Freedom of speech has already been attacked

repeatedly. Islamists tried to censor criticism

of Islamist terrorism when the Muhammad

cartoons were published in Jyllands-Posten

in 2005. Strangely enough, the "cartoon intifada"

arose 5 months after their original printing, but

only weeks before the UNHCR was due to consider

the OIC's resolution on "Combating Defamation

of Religion."

*
Such a coincidence caused the National Secular

Society to state in its Memorandum (Section

E, point 2) to the UK Parliament that, the Danish

cartoon crisis was manufactured… to exploit

sensitivities around racial discrimination and to

promote (or even exaggerate) the notion of

"Islamophobia" in order to restrict possibilities

for open discussion or criticism of Islam….measures

calling for legislation banning "defamation of religion"

- …. aims to remove religion, especially Islam, from

public scrutiny and public debate.

*
If any religion is to be integrated into the daily

social, economic and political life of a nation, it

must open the door for evaluation of its goals

and application. Otherwise, OIC nations will be

able to govern unilaterally without respect to

international law.

Consider the following precedent.

*
Saudi Arabia ratified the UN Convention on the

Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against

Women (CEDAW) in 2000, with reservations,

stating, "In case of contradiction between any

term of the Convention and the norms of Islamic

law, the Kingdom is not under obligation to

observe the contradictory terms of the Convention."
Thus, Saudi Arabia confirms that it will only offer

lip service to human rights by signing documents

like the CEDAW charter. It will not actually

improve the status of women, because it is a

theocracy, and every move a woman makes is

governed by Islamic law. CEDAW can do nothing

for them. Moreover, if the Defamation of Religion

resolution is passed, all human rights activists will

feel even greater censorship, since protests from

abroad will be construed as racism.

*
Consider the "Qatif girl" case.

A Saudi girl was gang-raped in 2005 and blamed

for it, since she was in the presence of unrelated

men when it happened. Her attorney lost his license

for challenging the Saudi courts. Only after

generating global media pressure did the situation

change in her favor. The king pardoned her and

the attorney got his license reinstated. In a post-

Defamation of Religion world, the attorney would

have been trapped, unable to help the girl and

disbarred if he dared to challenge Saudi Islamic law.

*
Lastly, the OIC resolution must fail because it is

patently hypocritical. While professing great

sensitivity toward religion, OIC members

ironically regularly fail to show any respect

for other faiths:
1. Saudi Arabia continues to use

bigoted textbooks, and export

them to American Islamic

schools despite promises to change.
2. Iran sponsored a Holocaust cartoon

contest in retaliation for the Danish

cartoons of Muhammad in 2005.

Yet, Jews had nothing to do with

the Jyllands-Posten newspaper.
3. Pakistan's blasphemy laws attack

Christians as a pretext for personal disputes.

*
The Defamation of Religion resolution is a free

pass for Islamists to continue denigrating other

religions and minorities through lawful Islamism.

It ties the hands of any politician that questions

the spread of Islamism in the West, and prevents

critical evaluation of the treatment of women and

minorities in Muslim societies.
Liberal and conservative citizens of the

West must work together to prevent this

resolution from passing in the UN.

Islamism största terrorhotet mot Danmark

 

 

DOKU.nu rapporterar:

Militant islamism är fortsatt det största terrorhotet mot Danmark och danska intressen. Det slår den danska säkerhetspolisen PET fast i en ny rapport.

Terrorhotet mot Danmark ligger kvar på nivån ”allvarligt”, och det är fortfarande militant islamism som utgör det allvarligaste terrorhotet mot Danmark och danska intressen utomlands. Terrorhotet från islamister motsvarar en fyra på en femgradig skala. Det bedömer danska säkerhetspolisen PET:s Center for Terror Analysis (CTA) i sin årliga terrorhotsbedömning av landet.

Enligt CTA så är det militanta islamistiska sympatisörer i Danmark som inspireras av globala militanta islamistiska grupper som Islamiska staten och al-Qaida som utgör det främsta hotet. Det är dock enligt rapporten mindre troligt att militanta islamistiska grupper har kapacitet att utföra stora samordnade terrorattacker i väst, även om såväl al-Qaida som Islamiska staten fortfarande har den intentionen.

Den mest troliga militanta islamistiska terrorattacken i Danmark är enligt CTA en attack utförd av en ensam terrorist eller en liten grupp personer med lättillgängliga medel, skjutvapen eller hemmagjorda bomber. De mest sannolika måltavlorna för en eventuell militant islamistisk terrorattack i Danmark bedöms vara olika symboliska mål, som judiska och mål som kopplas till HBT+-miljön. Även regeringsmål samt oskyddade offentliga platser och andra oskyddade civila mål bedöms som sannolika vid en islamistisk terroristattack, enligt CTA.

"En flod av blod" - 40 år

För drygt 40 år sedan höll Enoch Powell sitt

epokgörande tal "Rivers of Blood". Han var

den förste brittiske politiker som varnade för

en havererad invandringspolitik. Powell blev snabbt

folkhjälte för stora delar av den brittiska allmänheten.

En ganska märklig folkhjälte: Den arrogante

och superintellektuelle professorn i klassiska

språk, klädd i sin säckiga svarta kostym

tvingades plötsligt umgås med och hyllas av

Londons slakteriarbetare, varvsarbetare i Belfast

och hemmafruar i Birmingham....

Hundratusen dåligt stavade tackbrev till

en man som helst läste grekiska eller latin.

**

Intressant nog ser den unge journalisten

Sarfraz Manzoor i The Guardian

paralleller mellan Powells tal och dagens

viktiga kamp mot islamismen.

**

Manzoor sitter på MacDonald Burlington Hotel

i Birmingham, där Powell höll sitt berömda tal,

och konstaterar:

"As I wrote earlier this year, one unintended

consequence of Powell's explosive speech was

that it has distorted all discussion about race

and immigration since. It has become almost

impossible to have an honest debate about the

subject without risking the accusation of racism.

To say that "Enoch was right" still carries

political risks – and yet with the emergence

of political Islamism, Powell's 40-year-old

speech seems, if not prophetic, than at

least bracingly relevant."

**

Vidare speglar Manzoor dagens förvirrade debatt

kring islamismen och det mångkulturella samhället,

för att avsluta med reflexionen:

"I believe that supporting a stronger sense of

Britishness, reminding all communities about

the things that we have in common rather

than stressing differences, does lie at the

heart of any solution to political Islamism.

It is a battle for hearts and minds but, crucially,

it is a battle which needs the support of Muslims

to succeed. The challenge for all those who

oppose the distorted ideology of Islamism is

how to isolate the extremists without alienating

and antagonising moderate and mainstream Muslims."

Det är nog inte bara jag som

får associationer till den modige

biskopen Michael Nazir-Alis varnings-

ord kring islamismens frammarsch.

SvD: Hur många islamister finns kvar i Miljöpartiet?

I Svenska Dagbladet ställer Ivar Arpi den

mycket berättigad frågan:

Hur många islamister finns kvar i Miljöpartiet?

Varför vill alla islamister vara med i Miljöpartiet?

Jag kan inte hindra tanken när jag läser om Milli

Görus och att de får pengar av Malmö Stad.

Idris Yildiz, ordförande i Malmö, var under flera

år aktiv miljöpartist och satt då i socialnämnden.

Kanske är det inte så konstigt eftersom landsmannen

Mehmet Kaplan hade banat väg i partiet för andra

islamister.

I januari i år försökte organisationens svenska gren

hyra en lokal på Hisingen i Göteborg, skriver Kvällsposten

i dag.

Efter att Polisen uttryckt allvarlig kritik stoppades det

av stadsdelsnämnden.

I Malmö är man dock frikostigare.

Från 1 januari 2016 till och med 30 augusti 2018

har Milli Görus tagit emot 72 143 kronor av S-ledda

Malmö stad. Detta trots att de är emot integration,

sprider antisemitism, vill "omvända" homosexuella

(eller värre) och anser att Väst (och/eller judar) är

orsaken till allt ont här i världen.

Målet för organisationen är att tvätta islam rent från

västerländsk förruttnelse. Typ demokrati, jämställdhet

och sånt trams, kan man väl tänka sig.

Så vad har Socialdemokraterna i Malmö att säga till sitt

försvar? Varför sponsrar man islamism med skattemedel?

"Vi har inte resurser på förvaltningen att sitta och googla

och kolla vad någon skrivit eller uttalat. Dessutom skriver

de på turkiska", säger kommunalrådet Frida Trollmyr (S),

som har ansvar över kultur och fritid.

Orka kolla liksom! Så jobbigt!

Och så denna koppling till Miljöpartiet. Orsaken till

att Mehmet Kaplan fick lämna regeringen var att

alltså att han hade starka kopplingar till Milli Görus

(och Grå vargarna). Men hur många fler islamister

finns kvar i Miljöpartiet? Det var knappast alla som

lämnade tillsammans med Mehmet Kaplan.

Olika sorters islamism ökar hela tiden sitt inflytande

i Sverige. Det är ett hot mot landet, inte bara av

säkerhetsskäl, utan även kulturellt eftersom den tar

aktivt avstånd från vårt sätt att leva.

Islamister vill inte att muslimer ska integreras i Sverige,

de vill hellre integrera svenskar i islam.

Återkommande avslöjas hur våra skattepengar går

till islamistiska organisationer som är fientligt inställda

till oss. Frågan fanns förvisso inte i någon valkompass

jag har gjort, men jag tror att flertalet skulle svara att

de inte vill sponsra islamism, om de fick chans att svara.

****

Min kommentar:

Bra att även gammelpressen

uppmärksammar (om än lite sent...)

att Miljöpartiet samlar på islamister...

Vad som saknas i artikeln är påpekandet att

Milli Görus i praktiken är Muslimska Brödraskapets

turkiska gren. MB är väl förankrade inom såväl (s)

som centerpartiet. Utan att försvara (mp), så

vill jag bara påminna om att fler partier bör stå

i skamvrån....
(s) har t ex en skriftlig överenskommelse med
Brödraskapet om som ska garantera
islamismen inflytande här i landet.

Se även skandalerna kring Hamasaktivisteerna

Jamal Al-Haj och Bassem Nasr i Malmö.

Många av islamistskandalerna i Malmö

avslöjades av Nima Gholam Ali Pour på
