Gymnasielæreren og Sverigedemokraten Richard Jomshof har været fyret flere gange for sit medlemskab af et lovligt parti. Nu vender vinden så sagte, og den slags begynder omsider at se for pinligt ud i verdens moralske supermagt. Jomshofs historie er opsummeret i denne artikel: Sparkad för sina åsikter. I Danmark har Snaphanen fulgt den ganske utrolige historie siden 2004, og Karen Jespersen skrev i 2005 om Jomshof og to andre eksempler på renlivet svensk “yrkesförbjud” i Berlingske Tidende: Karen Jespersen: Har Sverige ytringsfrihed ? Jomshof fremstillede selv sin situation i Berlingske Tidende dengang, store svenske aviser ville ikke trykke ham. SVT kan ikke rigtig lide ordet “yrkesförbjud” i indslaget, men foreslår ikke nogen anden betegnelse for det, Jomshof har været udsat for. “Vi skal se fremad” og “Let bygones be bygones.”

Andrew Gilligan: Efter Dispatches

At the eleventh hour, Tower Hamlets has drawn back from an act of stupidity stunning even by its own standards. The council’s initial response to our revelations that it has been infiltrated by Islamic fundamentalists – revelations which the council leader refuses to deny – has been not to investigate the matter, but to attack one of the people who helped expose it. Fundamentalist-infiltrated council steps back from the cliff edge – just (kommentarerne er værd at læse. Kun The Mail og Telegraph omtaler programmet i engelsk presse ! Det officielle UK driver stadig horder af englændere i armene på BNP.)

“Hate-speech” er, når det er Wilders der siger det

Muhammad Taqi Usmani is a highly respected and well-known expert on Islamic law who served for 20 years as a Sharia judge on Pakistan’s Supreme Court. He is quite possibly the world’s most influential Islamist thinker and writer outside of the Middle East. Usmani is a frequent visitor to Britain, where his monograph Islam and Modernism caused a great deal of controversy. Why is Usmani so important for the purposes of Wilders’ trial? Simply put, Usmani’s interpretation of Islamic doctrine as it concerns non-believers is the same as Wilders’. Indeed, the critical lesson to be gleaned from Usmani’s work bolsters the very argument that Wilders is on trial for making – namely, that the doctrine of jihad, as expounded in Islamic texts, inherently poses a threat to Western civilization. In fact, Osama Bin Laden made the exact same point in a lengthy essay entitled “Moderate Islam is a Prostration to the West” (reproduced in Raymond Ibrahinm’s The al Qaeda Reader).

Whether one agrees or disagrees with Wilders’ and Usmani’s interpretation of Islam is beside the point. The real question is: How can Wilders be prosecuted for agreeing with the interpretation of a world-renowned Islamic thinker and scholar – a scholar who has never been accused of hate speech or insulting Islam? Wilders’ Best Witness.

Fredag er Wilders tilbage i Overhuset i London: Blond bombshell Geert Wilders returns to Britain, looking for a fight. Fears are growing that  Geert Wilders could spark furious clashes when he arrives in Britain tomorrow.

Theodore Dalrymple: The New Vichy Syndrome

Why European Intellectuals Surrender to Barbarism

Bogen udkommer først om fem dage, men vi vil give den en for-for omtale allerede i dag. Den omtales dog her på en video af en, der har læst den.

Theodore Dalrymple explains how European intelligentsia turned on Western civilisation and paved the way for hedonism and Islamism to run roughshod over a once proud European culture. Western Europe is in a strangely neurotic condition of being smug and terrified at the same time. On the one hand, Europeans believe they have at last created an ideal social and political system in which man can live comfortably. In many ways, things have never been better on the old continent. On the other hand, there is growing anxiety that Europe is quickly falling behind in an aggressive, globalized world. Europe is at the forefront of nothing, its demographics are rapidly transforming in unsettling ways, and the ancient threat of barbarian invasion has resurfaced in a fresh manifestation. In “The New Vichy Syndrome”, Theodore Dalrymple traces this malaise back to the great conflicts of the last century and their devastating effects upon the European psyche. From issues of religion, class, colonialism, and nationalism, Europeans hold a ‘miserablist’ view of their history, one that alternates between indifference and outright contempt of the past. Today’s Europeans no longer believe in anything but personal economic security, an increased standard of living, shorter working hours, and long vacations in exotic locales. The result, Dairymple asserts, is an unwillingness to preserve European achievements and the dismantling of western culture by Europeans themselves. As vapid hedonism and aggressive Islamism fill this cultural void, Europeans have no one else to blame for their plight.

Moské for Moderat-medlemskab

Medlemsfusket inom Stockholmsmoderaterna avslöjades i februari. Nya medlemmar som Aktuellt har pratat med säger att de i utbyte mot medlemskap lovades en moské.” Muslimska Friskolan blog

Indvandrerandelen i svenske byer er nu så stor, at man dårligt kan forestille sig svenske politikere, der tør foreslå noget der ikke er i disse gruppers interesse. De udgør langt over 1 mio. mennesker. Samtidigt har stemmefiskeriet i forstæderne bredt sig til hele partispektret. Selv en moderat eller en folkpartist kan regne ud, at  når 90 % af indvandrene stemmer- rød-grønt, så har svenske borgerlige ikke fremtiden på deres side, og slet ikke hvis de foreslår noget “främligsfientligt”. Det må antages at være et politisk “tipping-point,” hvorefter den nuværende udvikling ikke længere kan stoppes. Rinkby v. Stockholm har 15.000 beboere, 90 % er indvandrere. Rinkeby er en del af den million lejligheder der opførtes i Sverige mellem 1965 og 1975, og som var født betonslum fra starten. Noget er revet ned allerede, resten er i det store hele fyldt op med udlændinge. Millionprogrammet udgør i dag 25 % af beboelsen i Sverige overhovedet. Andre større eksempler er forstæderne Skärholmen, Sätra, Tensta, Råslätt, Rosengård, Hammarkullen, Jordbro, Fittja.

“Adopteret er racistisk”

Dagens Nyheters ansvariga utgivare har JK-anmälts för rasism och förtal för krönikan där Per Landin kallar Lena Sundström för ”koreanskt barnhemsbarn”.Det är olyckligt och överdrivet. Det är absolut inte jag som står bakom anmälan, man måste kunna prata med varandra utan att det ska landa i anmälningar, säger Lena Sundström till Resume.se. Lena Sundström har tidigare berättat att hon som bebis hittades i en korg på trappan till ett barnhem i Sydkoreas huvudstad Seoul. ”Olyckligt att DN JK-anmäls”, Kulturartikel JK-anmäls för rasism
