“Stop Islamization”? You WAYCIST!

Mechelen is a Flemish city located between Antwerp and Brussels. The following news report describes the verdict in a court case against “right-wing extremists” in Mechelen who had the audacity to carry banners protesting the Islamization of Flanders.

In the past I’ve seen Filip Dewinter and other leaders of Vlaams Belang carrying “Stop Islamisering” banners. Why weren’t they prosecuted?

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Flemish news service VRT:

Four members of radical right group Voorpost sentenced for inciting hate and violence because of banner, “Stop Islamization”

The criminal court of Mechelen has sentenced four members of the radical-right organization Voorpost for incitement of hate and violence during a protest in May of last year. On a banner under the words “Stop Islamization” were pictured some women in burkas or niqabs, and this combination, according to the court, went too far. Various Parliament members from Vlaams Belang have protested against the verdict in Mechelen.

On Saturday 30 May, 2020, inn the Saturday Market in Mechelen, the radical right organization Voorpost held a protest against what they call Islamization. There some members also held a banner with the words “Stop Islamization”. Under the words was depicted a row of women wearing niqabs and a second row of women with burkas.

According to the criminal court in Mechelen, that banner went too far. “By having such signs and banners, the accused have the aim of instilling fear and creating hate in society by convincing onlookers of the idea that Islam may in the future dominate Flanders,” the verdict reads.

They sketch an imagined danger whereby each woman, as a result of this so-called Islamization, will be forced to wear a burka or niqab, or that every woman, as a result, will wear a burka or niqab. Such ideas attempt to feed on the fear and hate against Muslim society or to awaken it, so that others will be incited to engage in similar hateful and fear-mongering behaviors, said the court.

The four members of Voorpost are all sentenced to six months imprisonment. For three of them. this was postponed; for one the sentence went into effect. Their lawyer, Luc Deceuninck, will now look into whether they will appeal. But that seems probable. “This was just freedom of speech, a political statement, nothing else,” says Deceuninck in an initial reaction to the judgment.

“If someone says stop Islamization, they are not saying stop Islam. They are saying: Stop the pervasive influence of certain Islamic customs in our society. That is what they mean. The court actually did not answer our arguments,” said the displeased lawyer.

Vlaams Belang campaigns for free speech

Several parliamentarians from Vlaams Belang have protested in Mechelen against the verdict of the criminal court of Mechelen. On the Grand Market they unfurled banners with the same message, filled in with posters with the message, “Stop censorship”.

“The criminal conviction of the four Voorpost-activists is far beyond a miscarriage of justice. This is an attack on free speech, democracy, and the possibility of carrying on opposition. The resistance against Islamization is not an incitement to hate or violence. That is just freedom of speech. That is protecting what is dear to us, our identity,” said the Vlaams Belang chairman Tom Van Grieken in The Journal.

Among those present were most of the leaders of the party, such as chairman Tom Van Grieken, federal group leader Barbara Pas, European Parliament member Gerolf Annemans, and some 25 Parliament members, including Flemish Parliament members Filip Dewinter, Sam Van Rooy, Anke Van Dermeersch, and Guy D’haeseleer.

  1. I don’t see what is wrong with Stopping Islam.
    But I live in a (sort of) Free Country with (sort of) free speech.

    • Goodness Harry, where do you live? On an island in the middle of the ocean-can’t imagine any free country in the world just now.

      • Sorta.
        Florida, home of Florida Man.
        Sorta free. We don’t go to jail for FB posts.
        But there are plenty of nests of Evil like Orlando and Broward county.

        BTW: When did Islam become a race?

        • Islam became a race when 48 became 84.

          When war is peace

          When ministry of Truth was created by democratic god.

          When muslims and Edogan say that islam is not peaceful, but we insist it is. Because the west is so educated they know islam better than muslims.

          when Christians in Nigeria, Pakistan and Indonesia are slaughtered on daily basis, and invaders from those countries are accommodated and pampered in five star hotels in Britain and Europe. Europe the pia mater of all muslims especially mutte angela.

          The west — God out — allah the devil in.

          • the american guy doesn’t know what is islam because his banana country is ruled by Jewish

          • To Anonymous
            We know very well what Muslim scam is.
            I prefer a country to be ruled by Jews that by low IQ miserable and criminal Muslim retards

  2. The court’s ruling and sentence proves these people were right to be concerned.

  3. the accused have the aim of instilling fear and creating hate in society by convincing onlookers of the idea that Islam may in the future dominate Flanders,” the verdict reads.

    Quite likely as matters concerning Islam are accelerating in their aim to conquer Europe-it is quite obvious here in the United Kingdom-traitors in the UK have allowed the door to remain open irrespective of Muslim intolerance to live legally abiding lives.

    • So why haven’t you become the Wolf out hunting instead of being the sheep waiting to get slaughtered?

  4. Silence peoples voices today, and tomorrow you shall hear the sound of rifles in response.
    When the powers that be punish and persecute the regular volk from airing their complaints, it will push them into the shadows where they will form “Committees” to take out what vexes them, therefore sowing fear into the 3rd world population and commie leftist who will wonder if they are next. I see absolutely no downside to this, frankly speaking, it is long overdue. Become the Baba Yaga they fear.

  5. So prosecuted for telling the truth. The Bolsheviks & Nazis would be proud of the modern EU and Western Europe
