Timid politicians with a ‘misplaced’ fear of offending Muslims have allowed Islamist extremism to take root in the institutions of Britain, the Prime Minister warned yesterday. A task force chaired by David Cameron said the policy of treating different cultures as ‘separate and distinct’ – known as multiculturalism – had been a ‘mistake’. The panel said it was far easier to combat the fanaticism that leads to terrorism when different communities ‘come together to challenge it’.

Yesterday’s report – a response to the killing of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich – was scathing about the ‘reticence’ of politicians to confront Islamists. Mistake of multiculturalism aided extremists says PM: Report finds politicians’ failure to tackle the hard-line views allowed fanaticism to take root, Islamist extremists could be hit with new banning orders, warns Cameron

‘Chris Allen, an expert on Islamophobia at Birmingham University, said: “The more the lens is turned on the Muslim community, the more society begins to think, ‘There’s no smoke without fire’.”

Chris is a nice guy, and has made a nice career out of ‘Islamophobia’. The problem he keeps coming up against is that the British public did not imagine the 7/7 attacks, nor the slaughter of Drummer Rigby. Nor did we conjure up from the depths of our imaginations the Haymarket car-bomb, Madrid, Bali 9/11 and so on. Douglas Murray: This is Britain: a crackdown on Islamic extremism will not cause attacks on Muslims

Næsten to årtier efter at franskmændene første gang bebrejdede englænderne alle de fanatikere, de tog ind i landet, ser engelske politikere nu ud til at være i færd med at vågne. Tyve år er ingen imponerende reaktionstid, men det er dog langt hurtigere end en svensk ditto, som pt står på uendelig. Her kan man mindes, at Sverige allerede for fyrre år siden var ‘safe haven’ for palæsteninske terrorister, der også angreb København i 1985.

‘The Government, as much as organisations and communities in the UK, must take responsibility,” siger David Cameron. Det kan siges kortere: Tony Blair og Gordon Brown burde drages til ansvar sammen med store dele af journalistikorpset. Nu må vi så se om den snu Cameron lykkes med at skille den fredelige, kærlige islam ud fra de ‘islamistiske ekstremister’. Større ånder har haft besvær med det og muslimske talsmænd vælger med usvigelig sikkerhed det forkerte og går i baglås: UK Muslims Fear Extremism Backlash, hvorved en mulig løsning af et problem, dårligt kan undgå at blive til en forværring.

Den ulmende borgerkrig

Selv når der ikke er storopstande, som der med ganske jævne mellemrum er i Frankrig, ligger kommende voldelige konflikter hele tiden og ulmer i baggrunden klar til at eksplodere. (Opløsningen af Frankrig på mikroplanet, kan man studere på Faitdivers France.) Her et dristigt, velplanlagt raid på en kaserne for ‘riot police’ i Carcassonne, en gammel garnisonsby sydøst for Toulouse.

If a social explosion is coming it might begin in the historic city of Carcassonne, department of l’Aude, that has seen so much violence in recent years. The night of December 5-6 was exceptionally violent. Hooded individuals cut through the fence of the riot police barracks at 2:00 a.m. and in the hours that followed, eighteen cars were burned and seven arson fires were reported throughout the city. The [MSM] article stresses repeatedly that this was an exceptional event. Carcassonne has been the scene of many “exceptional” events since the arrival of non-European immigrants.

Alarmerende antal ikke i arbejde eller uddannelse

(Klik grafik f. større billede) Nyrup-Jelved-Holger K.s arv til opretholdelse af nationen Danmark. Hvis tallene holder sig eller vokser, og hvad skulle forhindre det, kan dine børn vinke good-bye til velfærdssamfundet. Bliver det til slut velfærdens selverklærede vogtere, der lykkes med at afskaffe den? Suboptimalisering i bytte mot velferdsstaten.

Ifølge ny rapport fra Danmarks Statistik er et alarmerende antal 16-64-årige indvandrere og efterkommer fra ikke-vestlige lande hverken under uddannelse eller i beskæftigelse. For eksempel er op mod hver anden (44 procent, red) af de 25-årige indvandrere fra et ikke-vestligt land hverken i arbejde eller under uddannelse. Det er næsten tre gange så mange som det tilsvarende tal for etniske danskere, der ligger på 16 procent. Også hos de ikke-vestlige indvandreres efterkommere er tallet alarmerende højt, idet 28 procent af de 25-årige står uden arbejde eller uddannelse.

Mens indvandrere og efterkommere fra Libanon, Marokko, Tyrkiet, Pakistan og Jugoslavien klarer sig dårligst på beskæftigelses- og uddannelsesområdet, så går det noget bedre for indvandrere fra Vietnam, Sri Lanka og Iran, der ligesom indvandrere og efterkommere fra vestlige lande som f.eks. Polen og USA ligger tæt på de danske tal. – I den asiatiske kultur er man opdraget til at være selvforsørgende og arbejde hårdt. Se den rystende statistik: Så dårligt går det med integrationen

Ikke fordi den tøsede Paris Hilton er så forskellig fra panegyrikken på DR, Politiken og Berlingske, hvor Jesus selv er død. Men så enkel er hverken historien om Mandela eller Sydafrika. Mandela var stor i fejl og stor i dyder, ‘renbuenationen’ er en smuk tanke, men langt fra virkeligheden. Afskaffelsen af apartheid var en nødvendig velgerning, 9 % hvide kan ikke regere holdbart over 90 % sorte, og sandheds- og forsoningskommissionen forhindrede antagelig et folkemord på hvide. Spørgsmålet er, hvad der kommer til at ske nu: S. Africa evacuation plan: White Afrikaner group fears genocide upon Mandela’s death.

I forvejen er 1200-3000 hvide bønder myrdet siden 1994 og der er 50 mord om dagen i landet. Hvad der virkelig sker i landet, skal læses på afrikaans, de engelsksprogede medier sukrer tilstanden til af hensyn til turisme og investeringer. Vores egne vil gå let hen over, at Mandela var en livslang kommunist og aldrig tog afstand fra sin voldelige fortid og dens bombekampagner. Hør f.eks. Nelson Mandela sings “Kill the Whites”. han var en livslang beundrer af Castro, Assad og Gaddafi – hans sønnesøn hedder Zondwa Gaddafi Mandela, – og modtog militær træning af islamister i Algier. var Sovjet ikke faldet nogle år før, kunne apartheids fald have formet sig anderledes. WSJ skriver i A would-be Lenin who became Africa’s Vaclav Havel.

“The bulk of his adult life, Nelson Mandela was a failed Marxist revolutionary and leftist icon, the Che Guevara of Africa. Then in his seventies he had the chance to govern. He chose national reconciliation over reprisal, and he thus made himself an historic and all too rare example of a wise revolutionary leader.”

“Yes, he had some luck: the communists, who wanted radical reforms, had been weakened by the collapse of the Soviet Union. That is why he was able to agree to guarantee property rights for all South Africans – defying calls for expropriation of land and property from hardliners in his party and the Communist party.”

Den brave canadier Kathy Shaidle prøver at nuancere billedet af Mandela, men det vil være forgæves. Vi behøver vores idoler, og ingen sandheder skal tage dem fra os: Raining on the Nelson Mandela Parade. Jeg vil en af dagene bringe noget mere detaljeret om de faktiske forhold i Sydafrika, hvor spørgsmålet er, om hvide der har boet i landet siden 1600 tallet overhovedet har nogen fremtid, om en racisme blot er udskiftet med en anden. Om Sydafrika er et Rhodesia på vej mod sit eget Zimbabwe. Mandelas efterfølgere er værre, ikke mindst den korrupte Jacob Zuma. Pressefriheden er under angreb, Mandelas arv er langt fra fremtidssikret. Former UK Ambassador Charles Crawford: Why is Nelson Mandela so revered?

Lots of guns, little violence
Shooting highlights armed but peaceful Iceland

Interesant at sammenligne med Sverige, der har den samme procentdel lovlige våben. I Sverige skydes der på livet løs, og forskellen er: masser af ulovlige våben og masser af skydeparate mennesker, hvoraf man let kan slutte, at multikultur gør skydegal.

Until Monday, when cops killed a man in a Reykjavik suburb, Iceland’s police had never fired a shot during an operation – despite roughly a third of Icelanders owning guns. Crimes in Iceland – when they occur – usually do not involve firearms, though Icelanders own plenty of guns.

GunPolicy.org estimates there are approximately 90,000 guns in the country – in a country with just over 300,000 people. The country ranks 15th in the world in terms of legal per capita gun ownership. However, acquiring a gun is not an easy process – steps to gun ownership include a medical examination and a written test.

Police are unarmed, too. The only officers permitted to carry firearms are on a special force called the Viking Squad, and they are seldom called out. In addition, there are, comparatively speaking, few hard drugs in Iceland. Lots of guns, little violence: Shooting highlights armed but peaceful Iceland (+video)

Tender and beautiful fronds ,of my beloved plane tree, let Fate smile upon you. May thunder, lightning, and storms never bother your dear peace, nor may you by blowing winds be profaned.

A shade there never was, of any plant, dearer and more lovely, or more sweet.

Zarte und schöne Zweige meiner geliebten Platane,durch euch glänzt das Schicksal.
Donner und Blitz sollen nie euren Frieden verletzen, noch möge es dem wilden Südwind gelingen,
euch zu entweihen. Nie war der Schatten eines geliebten Baumes lieblicher.

Det er svært at vælge, alle de største har sunget den: Jussi Björling, Kathleen Ferrier, Fritz Wunderlich, Beniamino Gigli og Enrico Caruso, men jeg valgte udødelige Kirsten Flagstad. Hvis man vil høre en nyere optagelse, er Cecilia Bartolis og Andreas Scholls gode.

Muslims take Charlie Hebdo magazine to court for “blasphemy”

A Muslim defence association (Ligue de Défense Judiciaire des Musulmans)in France has launched a legal attack on the satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo in Strasbourg for “blasphemy”, the magazine’s lawyer, Richard Malka, declared on Friday.

Made public several weeks ago, this summons to appear in front of Strasbourg Criminal Court was only received this week by the magazine. “Blasphemy” is not a crime in France except in the Alsace-Moselle region, on the border with Germany. Like another action, initiated recently in Paris for Incitement to Racial Hatred, these charges are based on Charlie Hebdo’s front page on 10 July last, whose title was: “The Koran is crap, it doesn’t stop bullets”.

Paul Weston, Jack Buckby and George Whale

Weston er glad for et portræt, jeg tog for syv år siden, kan man se på videoen. Weston taler om et nyligt besøg af den gamle Sovjet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky. Man kan høre ham her Eurosceptic speech by Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky og her The European Union – the New Soviet Union?

Når tilstømningen af over 300.000 mennesker til Europa hvert år består af mennesker fra verdens mest korrupte kulturer og lande, så skal man jo ikke, som Fredrik Reinfeldt så rigtigt siger, undre sig over at man ser europæiske byer i social opløsning og med tillid i frit fald, ikke mindst i Sverige, der med forkærlighed importerer fra de allermest korrupte lande i verden, Afghanistan og Somalia, og tror disse personer bliver retlinede, samvittighedsfulde protestanter, fordi de får et svensk pas. Nej, man skal sandelig ikke undre sig over at Malmø, Landskrona, Göteborg, Södertälje, Borlänge, Jönköping, Växjö og Stockholm er kommet til at se ud, som de gør. Man skal undre sig over et samfund, som er handlingslammet og uden vilje til at standse ødelæggelsen. (klik grafik for helskærm)

German-based NGO Transparency International released its annual Corruption Perceptions Index on Tuesday. The index, which ranks corruption of countries on a 0 to 100 scale, with the lowest scores indicating the most corruption, based on perceptions of experts and analysts, found 8 Arab countries were among the 10 most corrupt nations.

Of the 10 most corrupt nations, all of which scored under 20 on the index, 8 (Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan in alphabetical order) have a Muslim majority. Five are Arab. Somalia, North Korea and Afghanistan were ranked the most corrupt states in the world, each scoring a mere 8 on the index.

The list was topped by Denmark and New Zealand, although no country received a perfect score, with the two leaders rated 91. The US was ranked 19th on the list. Transparency International stated “more than two-thirds of the 177 countries in the 2013 index score below 50,” noting that widespread corruption is a large global problem.

CBN: ‘Generation Identity’ Wages War On France Islamization, 18.12.2012

Egypt’s Pioneering Nude Protester

With her performance art and activism, Aliaa Elmahdy is putting herself at risk to raise the issue of women’s rights in Egypt.

Despite the enormous risks assumed by women like Hirsi Ali, a new generation of activists are radically challenging religious extremism in the Middle East. With an echo of Hirsi Ali’s notorious film, Egyptian atheist and activist Aliaa Elmahdy recently provoked fury in her home country when she contorted the Muslim call to prayer on Facebook, posting an image of the Arabic phrase “Woman Is Great,” a play on the Islamic incantation “Allahu Akhbar”—God is great.

The Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram stacked the deck against Elmahdy. “While some have called her a heroine,” the paper wrote after her nude photo went viral, “others have opted for the term mentally ill.” To bolster the case for madness, the newspaper quoted an Egyptian psychiatrist who attributed her activism to either parental abuse or neglect: “It could be that this person didn’t receive much attention from his or her parents or close family members as a child, or perhaps he or she was abused or neglected.”

The Western media is frequently titillated by bare-breasted (and usually attractive) Femen activists, whose toplessness is often irrelevant to their feminist message. But in the Muslim world, Elmahdy’s nudity isn’t just titillating, it’s the ultimate act of brave rebellion.
