Whether you believe that what happened at Ft. Hood this week was a random occurrence by someone who just snapped or somehow connected to Muslim terrorism, the following speech is profound and frightening in many ways.

THIS SPEECH CLEARLY SHOWS OUR SITUATION IN THE WORLD.....WELL WORTH READING !

Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament.

America as the last man standing

'In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe ?'

Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons, New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.

I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .

The Europe you know is changing.

You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear '*****, *****'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.

In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel . I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe . San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel . First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a danger greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem .

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.

We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

This is quite right-wing, but it's clear there has been a weird trend in immigration for highly developed countries. The same problem occurs though. The immigrants may not want to really leave their home behind, but rather are desperately seeking a better life, and bring their own cultural beliefs with them with little intention of adapting. This is made worse by not being able to fit in well (language barrier, no job skills to match those available in the new country), so they hold on to these beliefs and customs, stick to groups of people from the same country/region, and start seeing their host country and its native citizens as an enemy. Ideally, when a person immigrates into a country, they're able to adapt and want to become a part of the culture of the host country, but the problems I mentioned often prevent that from happening. We need to look at the root of this population shift, rather than just looking at groups as inherently "bad" people bringing trouble. Why are they fleeing these countries that they still love? What can we do to help their country so they can stay there if that's really what many want? As for those currently in the countries, how can we help them with job training and finding employment?

Geert Wilders is well known in Europe for his stance against radical Islam. I can't speak for the current condition in Europe with regard to muslim immigration/assimilation, etc. as I don't live there.

I found this excerpt particularily interesting...

... in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia.

Even in secular democratic countries such as Turkey, the rules of Islam dictate policy and all aspects of public life. Islam as a religion and Islam as a political ideology are mutually exclusive and cannot really be separated from one another. They are different facets of the same thing.

Of course, none of this would matter or concern most non-muslims were it not for the fact that there is a significant faction of Islam that incompatible with democratic free society. There are large numbers of muslim emigrating to democratic free societies and ideologically clashing with them.

To give some perspective on the history of Islam (and something I take issue with), this passage is very informative...

"The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages (11 wives)- at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Then there is Sharia Law, which dictates "the legal code in most muslim countries". This is a good link describing what Sharia is. Islam: Governing Under Sharia - Council on Foreign Relations "Despite official reluctance to use hadd punishments, vigilante justice still takes place. Honor killings, murders committed in retaliation for bringing dishonor on one's family, are a worldwide problem. While precise statistics are scarce, the UN estimates thousands of women are killed annually in the name of family honor (National Geographic). Other practices that are woven into the sharia debate, such as female genital mutilation, adolescent marriages, polygamy, and gender-biased inheritance rules, elicit as much controversy."

Add to that the fact that Islam seeks to convert or destroy the non-beliver infidels. I just don't see an intolerant religion such as Islam being compatible with the rest of the free world.

I had a disagreement with my mother on the ride back from visiting my sister on Christmas about one of her dogs. It is kind of a grumpy dog, and growls and snips at her grandchildren, she wants to get rid of it but she doesn't know anyone that will take him. I try to retrain him but he seems incapable of learning decent behavior, so I have given up. My mother refuses to take him to the pound because she is afraid they will end up killing him. She says he is a living being and she doesn't want to have his death on her conscience. So she keeps him.

I told her that I understand she wants to be a good person and take care of the dog, but the dog is making her life worse, and it is really bad because her grandchildren don't feel comfortable in her house because of the dog makes them feel unsafe, but she still seemed undeterred.

So I asked her what she thought of those people that pick up every stray off the side of the road and keep them in their homes. The people with like 50 dogs and 100 cats because "they feel sorry" for the animals. She told me she thought those people were a little crazy because they don't really take care of the animals other than just feed them. So I asked her why she was any different than them? They both are keeping animals they either don't want or can't really take care of properly, just because you can't stand the thought of something bad happening to them.

If it was your dog, what would you do with it?

Now replace "dog" with "immigrants" and you will understand the logical benevolence but inevitable stupidity behind political correctness.

Europe must be in bad shape when they plead and depend on our broke ass gvt and a military that is already fighting two wars.I must be a cold person because I do not have a ounce of sympathy when the writer said this:

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians
The problem is that freedom is offered up on a silver platter,and who gives it to them for almost free?Take the troop build up in Afganistan,we sent in 30,000 and the rest of our allies sent in 5,000.And he is trying to guilt trip us into thinking we are just the defenders of freedom and takes all responsibility off of them where they are just mere custodians.LMAO
Too bad President Obama won't tell them "they need some skin in the game "would it be wrong for them to help fight for their own freedom?Not according to the writer as he penned this:
With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem
I find it hard to have compassion for people that practiced PC,you know letting people in your country with out assimulating to your culture.Lets move in a bunch of people that hate us and everything we stand for and want to kill us.So the writers atttitude that it is all up to the U S makes me sick,they should fight for their own freedom they made the mess.

[bentlebee]

Wilders isn't saying that all muslims are bad but their religion is preaching that every one around the world should convert to their religion which is causing a huge issue, soecially for the extremist muslims and most others are scared to death of that group.

When a religion is preaching that if you become a marthyr you will receive a certain amount of virgins and death is more important than life, than all reasonable discussion are off the table.

We all have seen little kids in muslim countries being taught to hate US citizens and Jewish people. Even the childrens cartoons like Barney are used to brain wash these kids. Little kids walk around with guns and are throwing stones.

In the Netherlands where certain areas are becoming so worse due to the unemployment under muslims who don't feel like working and the socialism is helping them to still recieve money and not having to work...these groups were dancing in the street after 9/11!
That was partly waking up some other Dutch people and showing them how sick and dangerous these groups are. They try to get others to join them and with the borders open in Europe they can drive in car any where, jump on a plane to Yemen, or where ever and join Al Quada and come back into the country unseen.

I was shocked to hear (luckily I was already over here for years) that even in my home town some of the mosques were linked to Al Quada. With over 400 mosques in a country that fits 3 times Florida...it really is a huge concern.

As a Jew I couldn't wear any signs of being Jewish, which might not b the biggest issue but again it was showing that after WWll another group is basically limiting your freedom just in order to stay safe.

Theo van Gogh was stepped to death in the middle of the day by a muslim because he spoke out against muslims and how they treat their woman. We could see them in the Netherlands always walk behind their man, girls were circumsized, which is now forbidden by Dutch law, and just because he spoke out for more freedom and same rights for muslim woman as man, he was killed in bright daylight in the middle of Amsterdam riding his bike. He even got a note stepped onto his body stating that this was done in the name of Allah and the murderer was very proud of what he had done.

These extremeist don't like their own country because they love the freedom of the Western world and try to have the people over there to live like they did in their own country but than with a western freedom. We always joked but in a way it was true...that the good muslims stayed in their own country and the lazy bad ones came to the western Europe part. Many people that I know went on vacation to the countries where these muslims came from and pictures and their stories told us the people over there dressed more fashionable and not like they started to do in the western part with scarf's, burka's, etc....so they want an extreme relgious life in a more free country...just that is weird and wrong!

Europe already waited too long because they wanted to be political correct and now have to deal with this issue.

Most muslims came to the western Europe part, due to people over there being too lazy to do the dirty jobs so everybody was happy when these people came and did the job...later they missed their family so wife's, children, grand parents, etc. came on a visa too and stayed. Since most of them got more than 5 kids, the amount of muslims grew so fast.

It is similar to immigration here, people can get their family members over here when they become citizens, but the difference is that most people coming here have smaller families and "no work" means "no money"! In Europe "no work" means "benefits"!
