Transcript:

0:37   I must speak French if you permit…
0:45   Freedom of speech and sharia, as already perfectly said by Mr. Jansen.
0:51   I lived 35 years in Arabo-Muslim countries.
0:58   I studied Islam almost 40 years,
1:04   I came here (to Belgium). I dared to say: “One mosque in Europe is worse (more dangerous) than a nuclear plant.”
1:19   I also dared to say: “A well Islamized Muslim child is a timed bomb against little European children.”
1:37   Luck, or misfortune, I’ve been sued.
1:45   The trial lasted almost 6 years, I had 4 barristers,
1:52   All went well and we won.
1:58   Politically correct thinkers and European journalists were angry about this victory.
2:07   They were thinking that we had to lose, that they (the judges) were going to shut our mouths, our freedom of speech.
2:17   I think Mr. Jansen spoke very well on the topic of Sharia; I will add a word about Sharia.
2:24   Sharia is against atheists, Jews, our friends the Jews, and Christians.
2:43   Fight, kill all who don’t believe in Allah, the Muslim’s god. Chapter 9 verse 29 of the Koran.
2:57   Concerning our friends the Jews: The Koran says chap 31 v 61, this is Sharia! Be they cursed, kill them everywhere you’ll find them, without mercy.
3:16   Concerning the poor Christians, they are miscreants, when you meet them either kill them in a big slaughter chap 47 v 4 of the Koran.
3:33   And that’s also Sharia.
3:37   Mohammed’s words, the Hadith, I studied Islam during 40 years and I know what I’m talking about.
3:47   With a great historian, Johan Bourlard, he is here, we wrote this historic dictionary of Islamic intolerance,
4:05   2000 pages. When we talk, we know our subject.
4:12   Bat Ye’or, whom we love very much, wrote this book’s preface. It took years to write it.
4:24   Bat Ye’or’s testimony for father Samuel Boniface, missionary: “For father Samuel, my brother in dhimmitude. We are dhimmis if we don’t want.
4:40   My brother in dhimmitude who felt, experienced and studied of dhimmitude’s sufferings and who’s not afraid to talk about it in the name of the persecuted.
4:53   With all my thanks for his courageous defense of Israel.”
4:58   We love Israel, the only democratic country in Middle East, in which Christians are not killed.
5:11   Where Christians are free, in contrast to all other Islamic countries, where Christians have no freedom even to live nor to have freedom of speech.
5:22   Often are slaughtered, insulted, defamed.
5:25   And I can tell you, 42 people from my family were killed in 1915.
5:33   That’s Islamic tolerance.
5:36   No, in Islam there is no Peace nor Love nor Tolerance. It’s hate of others but we have to love them.
5:44   As human beings, we have to love them. It’s natural.
5:53   Here there is something very interesting for our friend (David) Littman.
5:58   In 2010… Er… 4 four years ago when I met him, he told to me: “In the name of ?? Israel, pray over my head.”
6:10   I put my hands on his head and it’s true, he came to assist my holy mass, Catholic in Latin, French and Aramaic.
6:18   And he said: “Father Samuel has lengthened my life by four years.” And finally, it’s life, the human being is born to die.
6:29   The human being is born to die and we must be tolerant naturally.
6:34   But tolerance must be with reciprocity. For me, tolerance is humanity’s soul. But alas, in Islam there is no tolerance.
6:43   There is always taqiyya. Taqiyya is deceit.
6:49   There is an invasion of Europe guided from outside, carefully planned by our leaders, some of our leaders.
6:59   In order for Islam to replace Judaism, Christianity here in the Western world.
7:05   We must say no.
7:27   When David Littman came, he read the chapter 1, God bless Israel, and I said to him: “Jesus said in the Gospel (chap 4, v 22) “Salvation comes from Jews”
7:41   (showing projected pictures) Here Bat Ye’or on one side and Littman on the other side. He was very happy.
7:55   I said “Glory to the folk of Israel” A democratic country in the middle of 300 million Muslims.
8:07   The only democratic country, the only country featuring free Christians, the only country where Christians are not killed.
8:14   But alas, the Western media always unjustly attack Israel, it’s a shame.
