Learn From Ahlmark — Islamism Must Be Treated Like Nazism

by Dick Erixon
October 23, 2023

We now see how Islamists make many Swedes want to strip off what identifies them as Swedes. We begin to submit to their demands, which is exactly what is their intention is with this mindless violence. Islamism must be equated with Nazism, just as former People’s Party leader and minister Per Ahlmark saw it.

One who early on understood Islamism’s terrible power and threat was Per Ahlmark. I gladly single him out because he cannot be accused of being conservative or something that the Left sees as terrible.

Crystal clear on evil

When he passed away in 2018, at age 79, I cited him from his acclaimed book, The Left and Tyranny (which came out in a new edition from Timbro in 2003 when I was working there). In it he is crystal clear on Islamism’s evil. This is what he wrote in the preface:

“The view of international terrorism has become the focal point in a partially new battle of ideas concerning our civilization. Above all: the third totalitarian worldview in the last hundred years has now emerged with strength and clarity. After communism and Nazism, we see how Islamic fundamentalism is placing similar demands upon us. We must adapt ourselves to its claims that do not allow for objections, pluralism, or compromises […] The three ideologies demand to rule the world and are all intent on genocide. They despise freedom, reject democracy, and hate Jews. The Islamists’ methods, therefore, are uncontrolled violence.”

See Islamism as contemporary Nazism

I completely agree with him. We should see Islamism as a political ideology bearing the same evil as Nazism. It is not a religion. It is an ideology that makes brutal demands on us in the West. We are to submit ourselves to their will, with bloody violence if necessary.

We who live in the secularized world can make the distinction between Muslims who in private and for their part follow Islam’s teachings. In this connection, it is usually said that “jihad” can be interpreted as an inner struggle or striving in every person to live a better life. In this form Islam can exist in the West.

But when you make jihad into a fight to impose sharia law upon “infidels”, meaning to force Christian civilization to submit itself to Islamism’s extreme interpretation, then it is a political movement as dangerous, violence-glorifying, and totalitarian as Nazism.

Report From Sderot: Day 18

Report From Sderot: Day 18

by MC

It is time we started once more to look at life and death as Yah sees it, not as a ‘snowflake’ sees it.

In 1915, the first Kitchener Divisions were flung into the maelstrom of the battle of Loos. On the first and second days the BEF had almost broken through, but they ran out of men.

The 21st and 24th divisions had just arrived in France. They were the spearhead of the volunteers of August and September of 1914; they were trained but unblooded. They were also thirty miles behind the lines because General French did not want them in the battle. But Haig was desperate, and forced them to march, overnight, without food or water, to advance over the ‘Field of Corpses’ In their lines they walked/marched towards the German machine guns, and died, well, most of them.

Haig went on the defensive and managed to saddle French with the butchery bill. Loos set the pattern for the rest of the war, and also the debacle of 1st July 1916 at the Somme. Particularly where the “Sheffield Pals” marched towards the almost undamaged wire and machine guns at Serre.


The Sheffield Pals on parade outside Sheffield Midland Station

The WW1 ‘Tommy’ was not particularly religious, but on the whole believed in life after death and going to a better place. His main fear at places like Loos was letting his pals down (through cowardice, etc.). On the whole he placed his trust in his God and advanced towards the enemy trenches. He did his duty.

Israelis are very similar, and on the whole, put their trust and reliance on God and their rifles. They will, if asked, advance over the open ground in the face of sustained enemy fire.

The IDF advancing on Gaza will have much the same problem as at Hulloch and Serre. The British in 1917 were repulsed twice in front of Gaza. Eventually Allenby, taking over from Chetwode, decided to attack Beer’sheva instead of Gaza and encircle Gaza by marching along the Wadi Shikma, a tourist route that still exists today.


Nahal Shikma where the Wadi Shikma track crosses the Nahal (stream). In the wet season this can become a raging torrent in just a few minutes, 5 feet deep and lethal.

The invading IDF troops must advance over 2km of flat ground with little to no cover. They will have tanks and APCs of various sorts, but Hamas have antitank missiles…

Death to the Hell People!

Posted on by

Many thanks to Nash Montana for translating this article from the Austrian portal Heimatkurier:

Insane: Turkish man murdered out of hate for Germans and had a kill-list that he titled “Hell people”

A Turkish man murdered a 58-year old German in Bremen — out of “pure hatred of German nationals”. Allegedly, he also stored a kill-list on his smartphone that he titled “Hell people”. This bizarre case reveals one thing: The hatred against German people is a bitter reality. While the state pumps millions in tax money into migrant and leftist pet projects, they actually promote precisely this kind of hate.

The Turkish national Abdulsamet Y. is facing court in Bochum. He allegedly shot a German Telekon employee with a semiautomatic pistol. The 26-year-old Turk dressed in a work uniform and ambushed 58-year-old Alfred N. in an underground garage. He shot Alfred N. in the back five times. He then stole the victim’s car and drove off. The initial manhunt for the suspect was unsuccessful, and only the stolen car could be located.

Kill-list with “Hell People”

The result of the investigation yielded: The Turk carried a list with more potential victims. It was stored on his smartphone under the title “Hell people”. More than a dozen names and cell phone numbers were saved on the crazy Turk’s list. Among them those of a married couple from Hamm. Apparently the oriental man was embroiled in a fight with the couple due to his erratic driving, during which he also called them “AfD voters”. Furthermore, he listed a German contractor from Dortmund. Abdulsamet Y. had a run-in with this man and threatened him with a semi-automatic weapon. On the list as well: Code enforcement employees, police, and ultimately the name, address and personal date of the 58-year-old victim Alfred N.

Murder out of pure hatred of Germans

More details about the investigation have not been published as of yet. But the state prosecutor has named a probably motive for the crime: Abdulsamet Y. hates Germans. After he realized he was coming out on the losing end of a traffic argument with Alfred N., he decided to kill the 58-year-old man — based on his hatred of “German nationals”. The motive doesn’t seem to be an isolated incident, either. The African Illerkirchberg murderer (“Germans are filthy and pigs”) stabbed a 14-year-old German girl to death in December of 2022. The 27-year-old Eritrean national described Germans as “filthy”, “dirty”, and he compared them to pigs. In October of 2022, a 26-year old Somali national butchered two German handymen on their way to work. His motive: “anger directed at German men”.

Going, Going, Gone?

Seneca III sends this update from the nook-shotten isle of Albion on the latest political doings of the Islamic-Socialist Labour Party.

Going, Going, Gone?

by Seneca III

The latest internecine convolutions of the British Marxist-Socialist-Muslim Party, known colloquially as the Labour Party, are a pleasure to watch. Today the media are slavering at the rumour that four Labour shadow cabinet members are on resignation watch over the senior leadership’s stance on Gaza.

It appears that the party is about to implode and eat itself in an ideological feeding frenzy after Sir Kneelalot Starmer appeared to back Israel’s cutting off of power and water to the baby-murdering terrorists in Gaza. This was followed by a meeting with Muslim MPs and other Hamas-loving members of Labour’s principle voting base, a meeting that is reported ‘‘to have made things worse”. All the usual Allahu Akhbar suspects involved, of course.

There are said to be four shadow cabinet members about to leave the front bench, but so far only three names have been mooted as below:

1.   Sarah Mei Li Owen, born 11 January 1983, is a British politician and trade unionist serving as Member of Parliament (MP) for Luton North since 2019. A member of the Labour Party, she has served as Shadow Minister for Local Government and Faith since October 2022 having previously served as Shadow Minister for Homelessness, Rough Sleeping and Faith in the same shadow department between December 2021 and October 2022. Owen is of mixed heritage and the first MP of South East Asian ancestry. She states that her “mother’s side of the family are Malaysian and a mix of Singaporean and Nonya with Chinese ancestors.”
2.   Rachel Louise Hopkins (born 30 March 1972) is a British politician who has served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Luton South since 2019. A member of the Labour Party, she has been a Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office since 2021.

Hopkins was a Member of Luton Borough Council from 2011 to 2021, on which she served as Executive Member for Public Health. FYI, Luton, both North and South, is Tommy Robinson’s and the EDL’s home town, so no surprises there, either.]
 

Luton

Since the 2011 census, Luton has had a white British population of less than 50%, one of three towns in the United Kingdom along with Leicester and Slough; London likewise, but it is designated a city, not a town.

Consequently, Luton is a majority minority town in which no single ethnic group make up the majority of residents. However, by broad multi-ethnic groups, Whites make up 54.7% of the population, a decline of 25.5% from 1991 when Whites made up 4 out of every 5 residents (80.2%). Asian British people have grown in proportional size, having gone from 14% in 1991 to nearly one third of the town’s population (30%) in 2011. Black British residents have also increased from nearly 5% to nearly 10% in two decades as well as Mixed residents who have gone from 2.6% in 2001 to 4.1% in 2011.

The Winter of Our Discontent

Posted on by

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Uncut News. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

Failure of EU policy: number of EU citizens without sufficient heating doubles

In 2022, around 40 million EU citizens suffered from a lack of heating in their homes, and this number is constantly increasing. Although EU officials made a clear case for protecting vulnerable people and those in fuel poverty, the number of people on low incomes who could not afford heating doubled. The European Union’s solution is to advise these people on how to reduce their energy consumption.

The rise in energy prices due to the war in Ukraine, as claimed by the EU, or actually due to the self-imposed sanctions on gas imports from the Russian Federation and the abandonment of coal-fired power plants, has plunged almost the entire European Union into energy poverty. The latest figures show that around 40 million Europeans from all member states were unable to heat their homes adequately in 2022. Compared to 2021, the number of low-income people who suffered from cold has doubled, but even people with above-average incomes were affected.

“These figures demonstrate the seriousness of the situation and call on policymakers to take action and address the root causes of energy poverty as part of a just transition that ensures no one is left behind. Energy poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon. In many cases, this situation is mainly determined by three fundamental causes, namely high energy costs relative to the household budget, low income levels and low energy efficiency of buildings and appliances,” says the European Commission Recommendation on Energy Poverty, published recently in the Official Journal of the European Union has been published. [The root cause is called GLOBALISM and its affiliated megalomaniac alphabet genocidists called UN, WHO, EU, WEF and, and, and…]

Low energy consumption also needs to be reduced

According to the European Commission, high energy prices have impacted the bloc’s energy markets since mid-2021, leaving more people struggling to pay their energy bills. These difficulties were not only limited to low-income people and those who constitute vulnerable populations and had to devote a disproportionate share of their income to energy expenditure, but also affected many people with average incomes.

“The Union has acted uniformly at the European level and within the framework of international commitments to ease the situation of European citizens. However, there is still a need for additional and targeted measures at national level. People who have regular and direct contact with people in fuel poverty, such as health, education or social workers and energy advisors, should have the necessary skills to identify fuel poverty and provide advice and information to households affected by fuel poverty. This information may include advice on fundamentally reducing energy consumption, explaining energy bills, advice on housing law and tenants’ rights against evictions, as well as places where additional advice or support can be obtained,” the European Commission said. [And an unlimited influx of migrants from hostile and warm climates, with the resulting excessive taxation of the working European, is going to help the situation? You’re [vulgar intensifier] ivory-towered LIARS that need the Romanov treatment BADLY.]

Bodyguards for Silvia Sardone

Posted on by

Silvia Sardone is an Italian member of the European Parliament. Formerly of Forza Italia (Silvio Berlusconi’s party), she now represents the Lega. Her outspoken opinions on immigration and Islamization have been featured several times previously in this space.

Ms. Sardone’s expressed opinions make her the target of repeated death threats, which have recently increased in frequency, so that she now travels with a bodyguard when in public.

“I will continue to be free”

Sardone under escort due to threats from Islamists

by Francesca Galici
October 23, 2023

The climate of tension in our country is palpable, and the escalation in the Middle East war has recently exacerbated the tensions. The consequences can be very grave, and it is for this that the anti-terrorism system is on alert. As the ministers have explained several times, at the moment, there are no specific threats in our country, but the risk that there exist lone wolves ready to strike sensitive and symbolic targets is very high. Among the targets, there are prominent political personalities, especially those who expose themselves by countering the spread of violent and supremacist Islam. Among these, Silvia Sardone stands out, whose vulnerability increases considering the fact she is a member of the European Parliament and often travels between Brussels and Strasbourg.

She receives threats daily, many of these from people in the Muslim world residing in Italy. Particularly worrisome are those death threats directed at herself, but also at her two children, especially in a historical moment such as this one. For this reason, considering the strong risk she is exposed to, now Silvia Sardone has been provided with an escort. “Obviously, for these extremists, it is particularly bothersome that it is a liberated woman expressing certain ideas, not oppressed and silent as many of them would like,” explains the Euro-Parliamentarian in a note. The Lega representative is often at the barricades and has no fear of expressing her positions on the Islamic veil, the Islamization of Europe, and illegal mosques.

“I have also recently reported the new death threats sent to me on social media and in the mail to the competent agencies. Notwithstanding the obvious worry in my family, I will continue to express my opinions freely; I will not back off of our values, which are put in danger from extremism,” she declared, making it clear that the threats will not force her to self-censure, that it will not happen. “I firmly believe that in Europe, and also in Italy, there are dangers of radicalism and of a growing Islamization of our cities: In the face of an Islamism that is gaining strength, it is worrying that there is weak behavior, in particular, on the part of European institutions, which respond with do-goodism and political correctness,” she added, stressing the right of defense of local traditions at the expense of substitution. For that reason, she concludes, “it is important to be present at the Lega demonstration Saturday, November 4 in Milan where we will be there to reiterate the values of liberty and democracy in the fight against terrorism, anti-Semitism, and Islamist fanaticism.”

Diversity Hire or Sharia Sleeper Cell?

Posted on by

Possibly both.

From the Sharia TipSheet:

Third Possible Sharia Supremacist Nominated to Federal Bench, Republicans Yawn

If confirmed, Mustafa Kasubhai would be the third Muslim federal district judge in the U.S. During his confirmation hearing, Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee pressed Kasubhai on his left-wing views on preferred pronouns, heterosexual relations (infused with ‘violence and control’), and diversity, equity, and inclusion. He refused to call the violence and destruction during a Black Lives Matter protest in Eugene, OR in 2020 a “riot”. He was asked to disavow the Marxist sentiments in his writings which, among other things, express antipathy towards private property.

But he was not asked to disavow the tenets of Islamic scripture advocating violent jihad or the supremacy of sharia law over the U.S. Constitution. Once again, Republicans lacked the courage to delve into whether a Muslim nominee’s personal beliefs are incompatible with appointment to the federal bench. Consequently, the public has no idea whether Kasubhai can possibly uphold the provisions of the oath of office requiring federal judges to faithfully perform all the duties incumbent upon them under the Constitution.

The Republicans have gone along with normalizing allowing Muslim judicial nominees to skate to federal judgeships without serious scrutiny of their personal beliefs and in reckless disregard of the likelihood the Republicans are bringing an enemy inside the wire as a result.

Does Mustafa Kasubhai believe in sharia supremacy over the U.S. Constitution with violent jihad as the means to achieve it, in accordance with the dictates of standard Islamic doctrine? Where does he stand on beheading babies in the name of Islam?

Thanks to the Republicans who had an opportunity to find out but fell down on the job again, we will never know.
