citater fra bogen i to You Tube dele. At det rent liberale standpunkt er blevet en uholdbar glidebane  ind i autoritarisme og anarki, er blevet evident for den kvikkere del af de liberale. Søren Pind er et godt eksempel, Politiken og Dagens Nyheter et eksempel på det modsatte. Jeg fik det eksemplificeret forleden da jeg mødte en fortvivlet svensk kvinde, lige på spring til at flygte fra sit land og den voldkultur der har sat sig på dagsordenen i hendes by. Hun selv er utryg efter chikane og trusler, og gamle tør slet ikke gå på gaden mere. Der er utallige liberale i Riksdag og medier, men ingen borgerlige der hæfter nogen betydning ved  nation og kultur i dansk forstand. Det er en god del af forklaringen på den tragedie, der nu er et etableret faktum i landet, og som de der har bevaret virkelighedskontakten, skønner er irreversibel. Jeg kunne  kun love kvinden hjælp til at slå sig ned i Danmark.

Jeg befinder mig i selskab med journalisten og kommentatoren Andrew Anthony i hans nydelige hus i Killburn i London. Her har jeg opsøgt Anthony for høre om hans bog The Fallout: How a guilty liberal lost his innocense. Jeg vil vide, hvad der fik en kommentator på to af Storbritanniens venstreorienterede aviser, The Guardian og the Observer til at skrive denne politisk ukorrekte og læseværdige bog.

Helle Merete Brix: Uskyldstabet, Muhammed-tegningerne og venstrefløjen, En samtale med den britiske forfatter Andrew Anthony,

Vi havde gæster fra Storbritannien i påsken. Dannede, berejste mennesker. Da de skulle rejse hjem spurgte de – præcis som vi selv gjorde det for otte år siden da vi første gang besøgte Danmark – “hvad kan vi gøre for at komme til at bo her”?  Danmark dejligst

Vi har tidligere været inde på kategorien i forbindelse med det fremtidige behov for politi og fængsler. Den kan gøres  omfattende:

I: Kender du nogen, der har giftet sig med flere koner?

R.: Ja.

I: Hvor mange kender du ca., der har giftet sig med flere?

R: Det ved jeg ikke. Et par stykker.

I: Hvad synes du om det?

R Jeg ved det ikke. Man kan ikke sige noget, hvis det står i Koranen, det er bare hvis han har en god grund til det.

I: Dem du kender, hvordan gør de det rent praktisk? Bor konerne sammen eller?

R: Nej, de bor ikke sammen.

I: Så de har hver deres lejlighed, og så bor han lidt på skift eller?

R Ja, to dage hvert sted. Han skal være retfærdig.

I: Så han skal bruge lige meget tid hos dem?

R Ja.

Rapport: At være muslimsk kvinde i Danmark, pdf,JP: Flere imamer vier gerne en muslimsk mand til både kone nummer to og tre.Det er ikke en historie for svenske medier, men de finlandssvenske  har den: Inger Støjberg är upprörd och säger att muslimska män får bosätta sig någon annanstans ifall de vill ha fler än en hustru.Samme Støjberg siger i TV, “at bigami er nyt for hende”. Det lyder ikke godt. Det var i 2002 jeg hørte om det første gang.

Overfaldet i den franske bus: Det empatiske offer vil sagsøge … blogverdenen

Sagen med det meget forstående offer for overfaldet i den parisiske bus der blev foreviget via overvågningskameraet bliver ved med at tage bizarre vendinger. Man kan se det fra den komiske side som et eksempel på et Gutmensch der vælger loyaliteten med idealerne og miljøet, en fransk pendant til RUC, over egen persons fysiske ukrænkelighed. Men netop derfor er perspektiverne også alarmerende, for dette illustrerer jo hvor langt nogle mennesker i den vestlige verden i dag kan nedprioritere overlevelsesinstinktet til fordel for de rene hænder. Manden er måske et ekstremt tilfælde, men han afspejler det mere almene forhold, at det store flertal i disse år accepterer flere og flere salamiskiver af forringelser af fred, frihed og sammenhængskraft, uden at det fører til en markant reaktion ved valgurnerne (LFPC).

[…] The victim of the attack in the night bus in Paris, the video of which was seen all over the Internet, has filed a suit… for violation of secrecy in the police investigation and violation of secrecy in the court inquiry. […]

This is consistent with his interview in Le Figaro, in which he did not condemn his attackers, but rather those who spread the video and “exploited” it for political reasons (the young man is a student at Science Po’).

Note: A reminder that many bloggers are connecting the victim’s actions with the school he attends: the School of Political Science, which has become, from what the bloggers say, a hotbed of progressivism and radical chic.

We should add that the RATP (Paris Transport) has also filed a suit for… offense to its image.  […]

Olivier Laude, the victim’s attorney, explains that there will be lawsuits against the websites that keep the video online: […]

– What about websites that keep the video online? – The law of June 21, 2004 on trust in the digital sector of the economy provides that first, a notice be given, then a summons to court. We will proceed on a case by case basis for the websites that persist in keeping the video online.

– How does your client view the sequel to this affair? – My client is calm. The attack took place four months ago. He has had time to distance himself. He does not see in it a reverse-racist attack, as you might have read. He sees it as a violent attack but one that harmed him essentially physically for a few days. He is hostile to any form of exploitation by demagogic movements. […]Violent Bus Ride – The Victim Sues

Ny strategi fra den hollandske regering vis-a-vis Wilders?

Foreløbige udmeldinger fra den hollandske regering kunne tyde på en mere tilbagelænet tilgang til den kommende Fitna II fra Geert Wilders. Bloggeren Afshin Ellian gætter på at strategien kunne være at lade evt. optøjer og handelsboykot falde tilbage på Wilders, der så vil fremstå som fanatiker og provokatør. Det lyder troværdigt, men hvis nu filmen ikke efter nogle civiliserede begreber kan opfattes som provokation, men blot som sober dokumentarisme, burde et oplyst vælgerkorps så ikke tværtom konkludere at det er Wilders der har fat i den lange ende? Engelsk oversættelse fra Gates of Vienna (LFPC):

Analysis

Now an objective analysis of the facts and circumstances surrounding MP Geert Wilders and his anti-Islam battle:

1) The State of the Netherlands. With the first Fitna, even before there was a film it was seen as a serious threat. The Government called on him to not make the film. The rest you will remember, the crisis atmosphere that was caused by Prime Minister Balkenende himself. But now it is different. The National Terrorism Coordinator (NCTb) finds it yet too premature to respond to the Wilders’ plans for a new film, according to Elsevier. The Balkenende cabinet did consult the NCTb about the possible consequences of the film, however.
2) Fitna owed its fame and impact to a Government in panic. This time the Dutch government will try to emit calmness. The question, however, is how long they can keep up this calmness. In any case, the government and the terrorist co-ordinator are planning not to make the same mistakes again.
3) However, this time a real chance exists that in some Islamic countries disturbances will arise as a result of a new film by Wilders. This can happen if the movie is a substantial provocation. What can be considered a provocation will not be determined by Wilders, but by the Jihadists. Why might the Jihadists become angry? Two reasons. First Wilders nowadays is a well known personality in the Islamic countries, and secondly it appears from Jihadist websites that extremist Muslims have the desire for new, heavy cartoon riots.

Message

What is the provisional conclusion? Possible calmness with the Dutch government, but unrest in the Muslim world.

Who will benefit from this? Wilders or the government? The Dutch government, of course. Because then the CDA [Christian Democrats, government party] will tell the Dutch people: Wilders is a pyromaniac and the Islamic boycott will leave more people unemployed by the crisis. What then will the message be? Those who vote Wilders are choosing a violent conflict with the Islamic world.

Question

Now it’s still a question whether the Dutch people will follow this possible view of the CDA. Nobody knows the answer, but one should not exclude the possibility that people in an atmosphere of Islam-fatigue and Wilders-fatigue will decide not to vote for Wilders on a massive scale.

With Fitna I, Wilders might have benefited from unrest in the Muslim world. A revolt against Fitna would have served as additional evidence for the truth of the content of Fitna. The CDA would just have lost then.

Advantage

But now it is exactly the opposite: the CDA, in a time of economic crisis, might benefit from a violent insurgency in the Muslim world in response to Fitna II.

The CDA may present Wilders then as a fanatic who does not care about the welfare of his constituents, but only of his “fanatical battle” against Islam. And the Labour Party [PvdA, the other government party]? In any case, the PvdA will try to stay out of this fight.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the future around Fitna will not be decided by Wilders, nor the CDA. Everything depends on the decision and the power of the Jihadists.

It would not therefore surprise me if the government does very little about Fitna II.

Most parties of the “old politics”, such as the CDA, PvdA, VVD and D66 are trying to adapt their tactics to stop the PVV’s rise in the polls.

The D66 leader Pechtold, for instance, said he will emigrate when Wilders wins the next elections. That helps the D66, being both the party for the appeasers and the party of the bureaucracy and civil servants who want to maintain the status quo (thus their jobs).

The PvdA tries to pretend to be tough every now and then, but fails because they are limited in their options by an increasing part of their electorate who are immigrants.

The VVD tries to come along with Wilders a little, but is not convincing the electorate (who increasingly prefer to support the PVV).

The CDA tries to stay calm, to avoid mistakes and to pretend to be the only solid reliable government candidate. They will wait for a clear and clean opportunity to strike back. Not easy while Wilders is positioning the PVV as a solid and stable common sense party. What, Me Worry? Juist het CDA kan baat hebben bij Fitna II
