Transcript:
| 00:08 | Filip Dewinter | |
| 00:12 | meeting in connection with the Charlie Hebdo attack. | |
| 00:16 | Mr. President, respected colleagues, as a gesture of solidarity | |
| 00:20 | with and sympathy for the victims of | |
| 00:24 | the attack that took place yesterday at Charlie Hebdo | |
| 00:28 | I have brought this cartoon, this cartoon that was | |
| 00:32 | presented to me ten years ago by Kurt Westergaard, | |
| 00:36 | signed by Kurt Westergaard, when I met him when I was giving a speech to the Free Press Association | |
| 00:40 | of which Kurt Westergaard is the president. | |
| 00:48 | What has changed since then? | |
| 00:52 | When the mass Muslim | |
| 00:56 | protest took place against this cartoon and the attack | |
| 01:00 | that we saw yesterday in Paris? | |
| 01:04 | The answer is simple: nothing has changed! | |
| 01:08 | In fact, the situation has actually got worse. | |
| 01:12 | Ignoring, minimalising Islam, radicalism | |
| 01:16 | ten years of subsidies and facilities for Islam | |
| 01:20 | pamper-integration projects | |
| 01:24 | ten years of politically correct discussion such as we have had today | |
| 01:28 | where politicians talk about tolerance | |
| 01:32 | about multiculturalism and tolerance | |
| 01:36 | where because of political correctness the problem cannot be named | |
| 01:40 | Officially, Islam is a religion | |
| 01:44 | of peace, tolerance and forbearance | |
| 01:48 | the ideology that hides behind Islam may not | |
| 01:52 | certainly in this chamber be called to account. | |
| 01:56 | The subject of Islam and the Islamisation of our society | |
| 02:00 | is simply brushed away as racist and xenophobic | |
| 02:04 | If you dare to say that the Koran incites people to hate | |
| 02:08 | violence and intolerance is simply an Islamophobe | |
| 02:12 | the media and societal debate must be avoided | |
| 02:16 | colleagues, are all Muslims extremists | |
| 02:20 | and potential terrorists? No, of course not. | |
| 02:25 | The vast majority of them, 95, 99% of them | |
| 02:29 | are moderate, peace-loving people who abhor violence | |
| 02:33 | and condemn this and all other attacks | |
| 02:37 | Does this really mean that Islam | |
| 02:41 | is moderate and peace-loving? | |
| 02:45 | The answer is also no. Not the so-called radicalising | |
| 02:49 | such as we have already heard dozens of times | |
| 02:53 | is the problem, the problem, their problem is Islam itself. | |
| 02:57 | Today it doesn’t concern just the freedom of the press | |
| 03:01 | and freedom of speech, it’s about the fact that the values of Islam | |
| 03:05 | are diametrically opposed to our way of life and | |
| 03:09 | to the fundaments of our Western and European democracy. | |
| 03:13 | It concerns freedom of speech but it also concerns | |
| 03:17 | the separation of state and church, and equality between men and women | |
| 03:21 | is there a problem, ladies and gentlemen, with radicalisation | |
| 03:25 | Catholics, or radicalising free thinkers? | |
| 03:29 | with radicalising Jews, or anyone else? | |
| 03:33 | or radicalising Buddhists? No, Charlie Hebdo ridiculed | |
| 03:37 | all religions and all ideologies, but it was only | |
| 03:41 | violence from Muslims that had to be feared. I can only observe that | |
| 03:45 | certainly not every Muslim is a terrorist, | |
| 03:49 | but today, now, | |
| 03:53 | that every terrorist is a Muslim. Colleagues, | |
| 03:57 | the victims a year ago in the Jewish Museum in Brussels | |
| 04:01 | the victims yesterday in Paris, and so many other victims | |
| 04:05 | of innumerable other Jihadist attacks in Europe | |
| 04:09 | are primarily the victims of a lax immigration | |
| 04:13 | policy of the government, of decades of | |
| 04:18 | Islamic colonisation, of the people we have become | |
| 04:22 | in the words of Winston Churchill, “if you keep | |
| 04:26 | feeding the crocodile in the hope of appeasing it, | |
| 04:30 | will generally end up in its stomach”. The perpetrators | |
| 04:34 | of the attack yesterday were born and raised | |
| 04:38 | French Muslims. Children of mass immigration and multiculturalism | |
| 04:42 | who carry out the attacks on the streets of our European | |
| 04:46 | cities. Only a strict policy that takes swift action | |
| 04:50 | against every who follows Jihadist and Salafist Islam | |
| 04:54 | who preaches and glorifies violence can bring solace | |
| 04:58 | that means that fighters in Syria must have their nationality revoked | |
| 05:02 | that we would rather see them go than stay | |
| 05:06 | instead of keeping them, Minister of Home Affairs, | |
| 05:10 | within our borders and trying to convince | |
| 05:14 | them with naive propaganda films on the Internet, that radical mosques | |
| 05:18 | must be closed, that hate preachers are not given an opportunity here | |
| 05:22 | to spread their message. That Muslims | |
| 05:26 | must sign a declaration of loyalty and abjure Shariah | |
| 05:30 | and that the recognition and subsidy of Islam | |
| 05:34 | must be stopped. Colleagues, I conclude, in the last 24 hours | |
| 05:38 | the outrage has rightly be great | |
| 05:42 | even amongst those who in the past have promoted mass immigration | |
| 05:46 | and facilitated, who | |
| 05:50 | have minimalised and ignored the problem with radical Islam | |
| 05:54 | even the politicians, journalists, intellectuals and others | |
| 05:58 | who systematically judged every form of criticism of Islam | |
| 06:02 | as being racist and xenophobe are today on the | |
| 06:06 | front row with their badges “Je suis Charlie” and | |
| 06:11 | are outraged. | |
| 06:15 | Perhaps they should have been outraged somewhat earlier. | |
| 06:19 | Taken to the streets earlier, then perhaps | |
| 06:23 | we wouldn’t have had the problems we have now. And yes, | |
| 06:27 | we politicians are also guilty, we bear the most responsibility | |
| 06:31 | for what is taking place now in East European cities. | |
| 06:35 | Many of you kept quiet while it was still possible | |
| 06:39 | many of you looked the other way while it was yet possible | |
| 06:43 | to stop radical Islam. Colleagues, in conclusion, | |
| 06:47 | the attack yesterday was yet another declaration of war from the radical | |
| 06:51 | Islam against the free west. | |
| 06:55 | There is now a climate where you can no longer keep your mouth shut | |
| 06:59 | where action must be taken. Anyone who | |
| 07:03 | is not wanted by us here | |
| 07:07 | can always, must go to places in the Middle East and Iraq | |
| 07:11 | and Syria, wherever where they think it is so much better. | |
| 07:15 | To conclude with the words of the socialist mayor of Amsterdam | |
| 07:19 | who said yesterday, if you don’t like it here, f*** off. |
Dewinter is one of those people who are willing to face the world and throw its hypocrisy in its face. I confess to not having that much courage. It takes guts to stand up daily against the grinder of politics and the media, and hold your ground against the most unreasonable tactics. And our enemies make it harder every day. I appreciate these people and admire them, even though I am not one of them.
One little point that’s been little noted in all the discussion of the Charlie Hebdo massacre: Official Islamic courts in Muslim countries hand down death sentences for much the same “offense” as Charlie Hebdo’s but usually in a much milder form and often with much less evidence. And if there’s an acquittal, it’s likely that vigilantes will impose that punishment any.
That ought to be a clear refutation of the claim that the massacre violated true Islamic values. Someone on a Daily Mail comment thread seemed to be trying to defend Islam by saying that in an Islamic country there would have been a trial. In other words, you’d be killed by your government with all the trappings of official justice, rather than by civilian vigilantes. Supposedly that makes it all better.
To add as a follow up . Disturbing images of Islamic State at work
1. stoning of a woman for adultery
2.hudud for gays
as per Islamic jurisprudence

either this is an elaborate set-up or the brutal reality that Islamic dogma dictates in certain places.
