Western Europe’s biggest mosque opened on Friday in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, five years behind schedule with organisers blaming obstruction from far-right politicians for the delay.The mosque, which is built with two 50-metre (164-feet) high minarets, can accommodate 3,000 worshippers and will be a centre for charity, mutual understanding and forgiveness, said its chief adminstrator Abdelrazak Boutaher.Construction began in 2003 and was slated to last for two years, but organisers said far-right opposition had delayed the project.”This horrible thing doesn’t belong here but in Saudi Arabia,” said Geert Wilders, the Dutch far-right leader, on his Twitter account.

Amerikansk schizofreni – “worrisome trends”, men Wilders “foments fear”

Spørgsmålet er så om det overhovedet er muligt i amerikansk optik at gøre opmærksom på reelle problemer uden at være “populist” – og hvor frisuren anses for en skærpende faktor. På samme måde som med hensyn til schizofrenien vis-a-vis kendskabet til Tyrkiets ildevarslende udvikling og den ubehagelige insisteren på at belemre os med landet i EU, er de hemmeligstemplede dokumenter lækket af WikiLeaks også en selvmodsigende rodebunke hvad angår vurderingen af sikkerhedssituationen internt i de europæiske lande. Bemærk i øvrigt at man i amerikansk diplomati endnu i 2005 kunne bruge klar tale som “the global jihadist cause”. Via Gates of Vienna (LFPC).

American and Spanish officials say the autonomous region of Catalonia in northeastern Spain is “a major Mediterranean center for radical Islamists” and the United States has proposed setting up an intelligence hub at the US Consulate in Barcelona to counter the growing threat, according to diplomatic cables that were obtained by Wikileaks and published by the Madrid-based El País newspaper on December 11.

The three cables, all of which are from the US Embassy in Madrid, say that Catalonia has become “a prime base of operations” for Islamic terrorists; and thanks to uncontrolled immigration the region, it now has a “large Muslim population susceptible to jihadist recruitment. […]

According to the document, “Extremist groups active in Spain tend to be decentralized, collaborating on an ad hoc basis and united more by friendships, family ties, and loyalty to the global jihadist cause than by membership in any given terrorist organization. […]

“The rapid growth of the Moroccan immigrant community, combined with worrisome trends among Spain-based extremist groups, suggest that Spain is likely to remain an active front in the war on terror for many years to come,” the cable concludes.

The Wilders Factor: Golden-pompadoured, maverick parliamentarian Geert Wilders, anti-Islam, nationalist Freedom Party remains a thorn in the coalition’s side, capitalizing on the social stresses resulting from the failure to fully integrate almost a million Dutch Muslims, mostly of Moroccan or Turkish descent. […] Wilders is no friend of the U.S.: he opposes Dutch military involvement in Afghanistan; he believes development assistance is money wasted; he opposes NATO missions outside “allied” territory; he is against most EU initiatives; and, most troubling, he forments fear and hatred of immigrants.

Luton: £500.000 spildt på forgæves bekæmpelse af ekstremisme

Muslim groups in the town where the Stockholm suicide bomber lived have been handed more than £550,000 of taxpayers’ money to combat extremism but have failed to tip off police about a single terror suspect.

The grants were handed out to mosques, schools and women’s projects by Luton council to prevent young Muslims being radicalised.

Under the Home Office’s Preventing Violent Extremism scheme, Islamic organisations are given money to stop members turning to violence. The groups are urged to reveal the names of those likely to commit violent crimes so they can be put on an ‘at-risk’ list by police.

But the Daily Mail has learnt that – despite £554,000 being given to groups in Luton since 2008 – not a single name has been handed over. […]

The Luton Islamic Centre, where Taimour Abdulwahab Al-Abdaly preached before being banned, refused to sign up as leaders did not want to inform on their ‘Muslim brothers and sisters’. […]

Islamic Centre chairman Qadeer Baksh said: ‘The reason we didn’t take the Government money for the Preventing Violent Extremism scheme is that it requires us to inform on fellow Muslims. […] Muslims in bomber’s town get £500,000 to combat terror… but don’t give police a single tip-off

Det där “US embassy cables”-dokumentet, är det från Wikileaks? Jag hittar inte någon ursprungsartikel på Guardian. Men man måste ändå säga att det är mycket intressant att få läsa sådana här interna memos till (Barack) Hussein Obama. Man fattar ju hur huvudlöst den administrationen analyserar omvärlden. Om detta är någon slags amerikansk grunduppfattning så vet vi ju var vi har dem när det väl gäller.

Jo, det pågældende citat fra WikiLeaks er fremhævet med gult lidt nede i the Guardians artikel.

“charity, mutual understanding and forgiveness” på Rotterdamsk forstår man jo så udmærket når man har læst uddybende kommentar til islamkritikerne fra Bouchra Ismaili, muslimsk medlem af Rotterdam byråd:

“Hør efter, åndssvage originaler, vi er kommet her for at blive. I er udlændingene her, med Allah på min
side er jeg ikke bange for noget. Lyt til mit råd: Konverter til Islam, så vil I finde fred.”

(Citeret fra “Islams Magt” af Pittelkow og Jespersen)

“and will be a centre for charity, mutual understanding and forgiveness, said its chief adminstrator Abdelrazak Boutaher.” Hvor i koranen, eller andre islamiske skrifter, finder han belæg for det? Er der slet ingen nedre grænse for hvad man kan få journalister til at skrive? Er uvidenheden uendelig?

Min datter har i dag fortalt mig at hun vil færdiggøre sin uddannelse i Australien. Jeg tror ikke hun vender tilbage til Danmark, og jeg forstår hende godt.
