Europe: The next centre of Islamic power
This article exposes (with many important and relevant links) what is happening with a possible Islamisation of Europe. To dismiss this as fearmongering or racist is, in my view, a head-in-the-sand reaction to the state of Europe in the 21st-century. I am not given to hyperbole, but I do believe that this is part of what will lead to a new World War (III or IV, depending on how you view the Cold War). Before discussing it, here are some salient passages:
"Whites will soon become a minority in Birmingham and other major British cities, posing a "critical" challenge to social stability"Implication? Stability iff white majority. This should be its own article. I wonder what most non-whites would say to that. I'd like a study to see if it is true.
"Orbin's report cited Muslim students' refusal to use the "plus" sign in mathematics because it looks like a crucifix; Muslims boycotting class trips to churches, cathedrals and monasteries; and forcing wholesale changes in school lunch fare to accommodate their religious practices."The plus sign = sickeningly lame. The lunch menu: been there, done that. Non-Jewish public schools in lots of places in North America have done this.
"Six to seven percent were prepared to use force to "defend" Islam, and the majority were opposed to freedom of speech for offensive statements, particularly criticism of Islam."Ever notice that defence can be used to justify anything?
"The AEL calls on the Jewish community in Antwerp to cease its support of, and distance itself from, the state of Israel. If not, attacks in Antwerp are almost unpreventable."More abdication of responsibility.
"The Prophet said, 'Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or there are pictures' and 'Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill.'"
Interesting thing about the name Medina: It was the name used as the basis of operations for the Mystics, monster people, from the game Chrono Trigger. There were Christian and Jewish symbols in the game as well as part of "good guys" symbology (which I have to find, can't remember the details). Depending on your choices, you can work to make peace with the Mystics or continue the war to receive different items and game endings. This game was released in 1995.
All in all, I would say that this is rather dire. However, for some groups the idea of widespread Islamisation is a bit of a hard sell. Those groups are mainly ethnic minority groups. I understand that these particular Muslim types are quite racist and would enslave us if given the chance (and then just say that it was the will of Allah, the way 18th and 19th-century slave owners said that it was the will of God, or science). But then again, it could be simply another shift in power where we are at the mercy of others. Many minority groups might see it as the comeuppance that white people deserve. They may ask, "Where were the white people when we were overwhelmed by ABC?" Even more directly, "Why was it okay for the white people to enslave others, but it's a big deal when they are under siege?" White colonialism may be a distant memory for whites (or the West), but not so for minorities.
Further, if Muslim gangs should not be treated with kid gloves, it makes sense that other groups should not be treated that way. This means black and Hispanic gangs. And this means, of course, that by supporting the "intolerance" towards Muslims in general, it means supporting increased intolerance towards themselves. You might think that this could mean that black communities and other high poverty, high crime areas would be inspired to shape up, but that's a far cry from what I think would really happen. Black and hispanic groups would feel threatened by increased racial divides, and would not cooperate. Muslim recruitment into the Nation of Islam (a hate group according to the Southern Poverty Law Center) would likely increase, in fact, due to all of this. Imagine it: a Nation of Islam leader could just say something about how whites are reacting to their Muslim brothers because they want control and hate those they see as inferior. They should join in solidarity with the Nation of Islam because to protect black interests and to overthrow the oppressive regime, or something like that. It wouldn't really take much of a charismatic leader to do this, just an opportunistic one, and the opportunity is already there. I wonder how their recruitment is going, actually.
I am very interested in the European response. It will not be long before what is happening there happens here unless they take charge of the situation.

This article seems to be something David Duke would applaud ... read the comments to get an idea of the audience it caters too...

Do catering to someone and appealing to them mean the same thing? I don't think so. Similarly, I don't think that this article caters to bigots, but it would appeal to them. Whenever you say that certain groups may be dangerous, or more accurately, have particularly dangerous elements in them that are being praised rather than controlled, bigots will take that as an excuse to spew their blind hatred, it's true.
Do you find it hypocritical for me to agree that situations all over Europe are dangerous because of these Muslim groups? Would it be wrong to suggest that comparing David Duke to the author of this article is inaccurate?
I don't think people would worry as much if they were simply living their lives there, not bothering anyone. This USED to be true, but now it doesn't seem to be the case any longer. But perhaps the reports are completely out of touch with reality. Somehow, though, I don't quite think so.
