The Negligence of Western Leaders

Michael Copeland’s latest essay concerns the horrendous ignorance of Western leaders on the issue of Islam.

The Negligence of Western Leaders

by Michael Copeland

Western leaders have uttered a catalogue of statements about Islam, many of them with a traceable connection to the Muslim Brotherhood.

  • Islam is peace. — George W. Bush
  • Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. — Hillary Clinton
  • Authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence. — Pope Francis
  • The Koran is a book of peace. — Mr. Justice Haddon-Cave
  • At the root of the crisis lies a radicalized and politicized view of Islam. An ideology that distorts and warps Islam’s true message. — Tony Blair
  • This is not our war against Islam. This is a war fought by extremists who pervert the true faith of Islam. — Tony Blair
  • There is NOTHING in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act. — David Cameron
  • …it is a poisonous ideology of Islamist extremism that is condemned by all faiths and by all faith leaders. — David Cameron
  • It is an ideology that is a perversion of Islam. — Theresa May
  • There are LOTS of churches in Saudi Arabia! — Leader of Worcester City Council

Every one of these statements is wrong, wrong, wrong. Alas, many of them, repeatedly publicised, have become widely known and uncritically accepted.

George W. Bush was duped by the Muslim Brotherhood front group, CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. They had craftily invited him to a mosque to feed him the false narrative that “Islam is peace”. This untrue assertion, obligingly read to the camera from a script by Bush in his best person-to-person-sincerity mode, was widely parroted by other leaders for years afterwards — complete with reverential hushed tones.

It was, however, a deception all along. “Using deception to mask intended goals” is one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategies, as set out in their secret Explanatory Memorandum, captured in a police raid a few years later. Islam authorises deception in the cause of Islam: it has the Arabic name taqiyya. The “Islam is peace” lie was a masterpiece of strategic propaganda. It has run and run.

Leftist Lives Matter

Dr. Gottfried Curio is a member of the Bundestag for the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany). In the following speech on the floor of the Bundestag, Dr. Curio discusses the media’s double standard concerning protests in front of the Reichstag. He compares the alarmed response to the anti-Corona protesters with the non-reaction to Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Extinction Rebellion, and other far-left protests.

The Burning of Lesbos and Samos

Last week a group of culture-enriching arsonists set fire to the Moria migrant camp on Lesbos, destroying it. After the European Union reacted to the inferno of Moria by agreeing to take in the displaced invaders, migrants on other Greek islands were prompted to grab matches and accelerants and go to work on their own accommodations. As of this writing, a fire has been set on the island of Samos.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from FOCUS Online about the German response to the situation on the Greek islands. This piece was successively updated at the top, so the oldest portions are at the bottom:

Dramatic situation on Lesbos

Six young men are said to have started fire — awaiting charges

After the fire in the Moria refugee camp, the federal [German] government offered to take in more than 400 families with children from the Greek islands.

New accommodations are to be built on Lesbos, with the participation of the EU.

The current situation in the news ticker from FOCUS Online.

Six young men are said to have started fire in Moria: charges awaited

2:53 p.m.: Six young men of Afghan origin are to be brought before the public prosecutor on Wednesday on suspicion of arson in the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.

The suspects, including two minors, will be charged at noon, authorities said. Four of the suspects were arrested on Monday by police in Lesbos, where a devastating fire last week destroyed Europe’s largest refugee camp. This left more than 12,000 refugees homeless.

The other two suspects, aged 17, were brought to mainland Greece after the fire.

They belonged to a group of around 400 unaccompanied minors who were brought to safety shortly after the fire, according to the official ANA news agency.

They were later arrested.

According to the Greek authorities, the fire in Moria was deliberately started.

Admission of 1,500 refugees: UN refugee agency surprised by German selection

2.48 p.m.: The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) welcomed the admission of around 1,500 refugees from Greece to Germany — but was surprised at the selection criteria. “These are people who already have refugee status,” UNHCR spokesman Chris Melzer told the German press agency on Wednesday.

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) would have had sufficient capacities and know-how to support Greece in processing asylum applications. “Perhaps it would have made more sense to have taken in people whose asylum applications are still being processed.”

Nevertheless, it is a positive signal that the number of people on the islands will be reduced — which is the most urgent task at the moment. “The camps on the Greek islands must be relieved; they are still up to four times overcrowded,” said Melzer. “Even with the best management, you can’t accommodate people with such overcrowding.”

“The thickest board”: Merkel reckons with EU failure in refugee policy

Wednesday, September 16, 10:56 a.m.: After the fire in the Moria refugee camp, the federal government offered to take in more than 400 families with children from the Greek islands.

Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) spoke of a sensible and humanitarian approach.

Rasmus Paludan Has Made the al-Qaeda Hit List

It seems that Rasmus Paludan, the founder and leader of the Danish party Stram Kurs (Hard Line) has been put on the Al Qaeda hit list. He’s in exalted company now.

Many thanks to LN for translating this article from Samhällsnytt:

After Swedish-Danish Rasmus Paludan’s Islamophobic party Stram Kurs went on tour in Sweden and burned several Korans to demonstrate against the Islamization of Denmark’s neighboring country, and for freedom of expression, the terrorist organization al-Qaeda announced that it will assassinate the party leader. Paludan, however, shakes off the threat, and is now collecting money for another return visit with Koran burnings.

Samhällsnytt has followed the development of recent events around the Danish party Stram Kurs’ interest in Sweden, where the police announced a two-year entry ban on the party leader Paludan, and in violation of the constitution banned their demonstrations throughout Sweden. Despite this, party functionaries have carried out several actions, including burning the Koran and ‘Koran football’.

On Monday Geert Wilders, the party leader of the PVV (Party for Freedom), who already lives with death threats from Islamists, noted that the Muslim terrorist organization al-Qaeda is now urging all Muslims inside and outside Europe to attack all individuals who humiliate Islam, the Prophet Muhammad and the Koran.

Paludan new on al-Qaeda’s death list

Al-Qaeda lists the people it is particularly interested in, and a new name is Rasmus Paludan. Furthermore, the terrorist organization is still looking for the Swedish artist Lars Vilks. Below is what is said to be an excerpt from al-Qaeda’s message…

A Sexual Emergency in a Swedish Swimming Pool

This story from Sweden reminds me of the notorious incident in Austria back in 2016 when a culture-enricher defended his rape of a child in a swimming pool by saying that he had experienced a “sexual emergency”. In that case, however, the victim was a little boy.

Many thanks to FouseSquawk for translating this article from Samhällsnytt:

Appellate court saves Afghan pedophile who raped 11-year-old girl

Recently the appellate court upheld a district court judgment against an older Afghan man who, among other things, raped an 11-year-old girl in a swimming pool The prosecutor, who had appealed the judgment and asked for deportation, was not given a hearing for his request — this because deportation is only for special reasons.

In mid-December, Samhällsnytt drew attention to 51-year-old Ahmad Motmain and the rape he committed against an 11-year-old girl. Motmain immigrated from Afghanistan in 2003 — that is 17 years ago, but he has not yet learned good Swedish.

During his stay in Sweden he has been chairman of an Afghan association, which among other things, works to stop deportation of migrants who lack a reason for asylum. The association advises on its website that they are financed from government contributions.

On December 11 Motmain was sentenced by the Gothenburg District Court to prison for two years and five months for rape against a child, sexual abuse against a child, and two counts of sexual molestation. The police investigation showed that Motmain, over a period of several years, committed crimes against children ages 5-11.

In one of the cases, which occurred in the indoor swimming pool in Angered in 2016, Motmain made contact with an 11-year-old girl who was there with friends. The Afghan migrant offered to teach the girl to swim by practicing leg strokes apart from the others in the swimming pool.

The girl was instructed to hold onto the edge of the pool and practice leg strokes while the man held her with his hands on her breasts and penetrating her vagina with his fingers. The man further asked the young girl if she “could have sex”.

No deportation

After the district court, both the prosecutor and Motmain appealed the verdict to the appellate court for Western Sweden. The prosecutor asked the appellate court to increase the penalty and also to deport Motmain with a prohibition on his returning to Sweden for 15 years.

Instead, the appellate court decided to acquit Motmain on the two counts of sexual molestation. At the same time the sentence of two years and five months was affirmed. The appellate court also rejected the prosecutor’s request for deportation.

The rejection is not because there are any general or personal hindrances to the enforcement of deportation to Afghanistan. The reason is rather because Motmain has family in Sweden, and he has held permanent resident status since 2013.

The appellate court refers to Chapter 8-3 of the Alien Law, which states that those who have resided in Sweden for at least four years with permanent resident status can only be deported if there are special reasons. Those, according to the court, do not exist in this case.

Caving in to international pressure, Germany has agreed to take in an additional 1,500 migrants from the Greek islands. Meanwhile, five migrants were arrested on the island of Lesbos and charged with setting the fire that destroyed the Moria refugee camp.

Knife Jihad in Stolberg

Yesterday, in the German town of Stolberg, a young man was pulled from his car and stabbed by an unknown assailant who shouted “Allahu Akhbar!”

Evidently the youngster, an ethnic Turk, was targeted because his father (also a Turk) appeared in a campaign poster for the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany). The fact that the father did not give permission for his likeness to be used was not enough to prevent the sins of the father from being visited upon the son.
