Islamization of Europe - Video
The Spanish Pundit posted this video of a Russian television newscast (in English) of the soon to be released film by Geert Wilders of the Netherlands. The controversy surrounding the release of Wilders’ film is being presented as splitting the Dutch population between those who support his actions and those who feel it is representing their culture as being intolerant and creating problems with muslims. Some of those interviewed make statements such as ‘freedom of speech is a good thing but only when used responsibly’ and that there’s no point in antagonizing the muslims and making their entire society pay for the opinions of one man.
The general message of the film is that the islamification of Europe has already gone too far and there has to be a line drawn in the sand. The detractors seem to prefer to keep their heads in the sand and pretend there isn’t a problem as long as they don’t say or do anything that tips off more bloody protests by the islamofascists. There are also the usual accusations of racism and intolerance.
The entire idea of avoiding facing the realities of the islamic situation makes me think what happens when we avoid conflict …. we create unavoidable conflict. In order to continue to pretend that the islamists don’t really mean what they say they mean (that they want to destroy us) then we avoid acknowledging there’s a problem. Unfortunately, there is a problem whether we acknowledge it or not. When we can’t say anything negative about the Koran without fear of out of proportion retaliation and yet the Bible is considered fair game because no one expects protestants to start burning, looting and killing if someone defames the Bible or Jesus Christ. But muslims will. So fear drives the unwillingness to face the conflict that is already there.
Just ask Theo Van Gogh … oh, you can’t, they killed him … then ask Ayaan Hirsi Ali how much freedom of speech they are allowed by the muslims in the Netherlands. A tolerant society is only tolerant when the tolerance goes both ways.

Is Europe awakening to al Qaida threat?…
Word has it that al Qaida has its grimy eyes set on Europe as a target for its terrorist activities. This may be just speculation, or it may be real. Would you like to be the one in charge that has to make decision? What would you do? ……

This is so odd. I wrote an article with Theo and Ayaan Hirsi Ali in it, too! Wow, are you reading my mind through the computers? Hmm…lol.
PS. Right on. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the link, Beth. An astonishing report… So partial against the people who are against Islamization AND against Wilders. But your reasoning is right: if we avoid the problems instead of confronting them, the problems will grow, they never diminish…
