When Islamization Deniers Celebrate Islamization
by Fjordman
On March 10, 2024, the municipality of Oslo in Norway lit large Ramadan light displays for the first time outside the City Hall.[1] Predictably, the Islam-friendly state broadcaster NRK portrayed this as a positive step towards more diversity and tolerance.[2]
They did not mention that Ramadan is also a period of intensified Jihad, Islamic holy war. Ramadan is often marked by deadly Islamic attacks against non-Muslims.
March 12, 2024, marked the start of trial against Zaniar Matapour. He is the Islamic terrorist behind the attack in central Oslo on June 25, 2022, where two people were killed and 21 injured. 19 shots were fired before civilians managed to overpower the perpetrator.[3] During the trial, Oslo City Hall is decorated to celebrate the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan. Less than two years after Matapour’s deadly Jihadist attack, the city of Oslo thus publicly celebrates the ideology behind the terror attack, a few hundred meters away from the crime scene.
Before carrying out his deadly attack, Zaniar Matapour is said to have become “markedly more religious.”[4] He also pledged allegiance to the Jihadist terrorist organization known as the Islamic State (IS or ISIS).
The Ramadan lights in Oslo are said to mimic similar celebrations in London. But is British society really something to emulate today? Britain now resembles a broken nation, already partially on its knees to Islam, while persecuting individuals brave enough to speak this truth out loud.
When the author Melanie Phillips described the Islamization of British society in her 2006 book Londonistan, critics accused her of exaggerating. She didn’t.
Haitham al-Haddad, a British Islamic jurist and the chair of the Fatwa Committee for the Islamic Council of Europe, said in a panel discussing Muslims in the West in 2023 that the situation of Muslims in the West is a lot better than it was 20 years earlier. He said that if you go outside, you might think you are in a “second Afghanistan,” but it is in fact “Londonistan.” Al-Haddad said that Muslims in the West should not consider themselves a “subjected minority,” because they are the “leaders of humanity.”[5]
Under its Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan, London has become an increasingly crime-ridden city where white Britons are a shrinking minority. Muslim rape gangs have operated in many British cities for years and continue to do so.[6]
In January 2024, the Gay and pro-Israeli MP Mike Freer announced that he would not seek re-election at the next UK election due to concerns for his personal safety, following threats and attacks by militant Muslims.[7]
His fear was not unfounded. A Jihadist supporting the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group murdered the Conservative MP David Amess on October 15, 2021.[8] The terrorist had also considered attacking Freer.
Thousands of Muslims have publicly demonstrated in London and other cities in sympathy with the terrorist organization Hamas.[9] Pro-Palestinian Muslims have been so aggressive in confronting individual politicians that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warned British police chiefs in February 2024 that “mob rule is replacing democratic rule.”[10] At the same time, the public is also warned against the alleged dangers of so-called Islamophobia.
Prime Minister Sunak denied that his party has “Islamophobic tendencies.”[11] He said comments made by Conservative politician Lee Anderson were unacceptable, and he was therefore suspended from the party. Anderson stated that the Mayor of London was under the control of Islamists.[12] Sadiq Khan described the comments as racist and Islamophobic, and that they would “pour fuel on the fire of anti-Muslim hatred.”
The Islam-critical Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been living under constant police protection for the past two decades. He has described this in his book Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me.
Other Islam-critical politicians such as Filip Dewinter in Belgium have also been subjected to harassment and planned assassination attempts.[13]
More and more European writers, intellectuals, artists, politicians, and ordinary citizens are threatened by militant Muslims. A veil of censorship and Islamic threats, an Iron Burka, is descending upon Western Europe.
People who ask critical questions regarding claims about man-made climate change risk being labelled “climate deniers.” Perhaps we should rather introduce a new term that is more appropriate: Islamization deniers.
The people, groups, and parties who now praise the Islamization of public space in cities such as London and Oslo are often the same ones who claim that Islamization is just a “conspiracy theory.” So, Islamization does not exist, but is to be celebrated.
It is time to end this absurd debate. Yes, there is now a rapid Islamization of many European cities and countries. And yes, this Islamization is mainly due to immigration policies supported by national authorities as well as by international organizations such as the EU.
People who still deny this obvious fact deserve to be ridiculed as Islamization deniers.
The debate about whether or not there is Islamization was over a long time ago. The only debate we now need to have is how the ongoing Islamization of Europe can be stopped and reversed.

Re: “On March 10, 2024, the municipality of Oslo in Norway lit large Ramadan light displays for the first time outside the City Hall. Predictably, the Islam-friendly state broadcaster NRK portrayed this as a positive step towards more diversity and tolerance.”
Post-modern and largely secular Norway – like so many other places in Europe – believes in nothing more sacred than long weekends in the country and well-funded cradle-to-grave social welfare benefits.
The great G.K. Chesterton said more than eighty-five years ago that when people cease to believe in God they don’t then believe in nothing, but in anything. And Norway seems to be an example of that, or at least the people running things over there.
Something precious and irreplaceable was lost when Norwegians began to lose their Christian faith.
Skeptics may doubt that claim, but the facts speak for themselves: The Muslims have been trying to conquer Old Europe for many centuries and largely without success when it was still known as Christendom.
But now that Norway and other nations of western and northern Europe are largely secular, they lie vulnerable to the invaders – who are taking over without any real resistance whatsoever.
Whatever else may be said about them, the Muslims have belief and they have faith – and those qualities are allowing them to defeat their now-weakened and once-formidable adversaries without firing a shot.
The famous quote – perhaps apocryphally attributed to Aristotle – would seem to apply:
“Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society”
Others can debate the various effects of its faith upon Old Europe, but it seems clear that if nothing else, Christianity provided the West with a means of telling itself apart from others – including those who might be enemies. A sort of cultural and civilizational immune system, if you will…
The Bible makes it clear why God is sending a strong delusion in the end times:
“They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness”
(2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).
Simply put, God sends a strong delusion to those who choose not to believe the gospel of Christ. Those who take delight in mocking and rejecting Him, He will condemn. We are seeing this now.
Re: “Under its Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan, London has become an increasingly crime-ridden city where white Britons are a shrinking minority. Muslim rape gangs have operated in many British cities for years and continue to do so.”
The Rotherham grooming gang is perhaps the most-notorious, but there have been similar Muslim gangs and criminal organizations active in the U.K. for thirty years going back to the 1990s.
The fact that such organizations continue to exist and to prey upon native Britons and their women and children is an affront to everything that nation once stood for. It is an outrage of unspeakable evil.
But more than that, the continued existence of such atrocities and the individuals and groups committing them is iron-clad proof that the authorities either do not care about what is taking place, or they are powerless to do anything about it.
It is no longer remotely plausible that they do not know about the existence of such criminal gangs or their activities. Nor can they claim with any credibility whatsoever that they lack the means – the funding and personnel – to tackle the problem. Police and security forces have never been larger or more well-funded and equipped.
Can the authorities stop all of the gangs and their crimes? No, that isn’t possible, but it is entirely feasible for them to crack down on them hard-enough to stop ninety percent of them. All that is lacking is the political will and the determination to do so. Most of the offenders could be rounded up and deported, or jailed with lengthy prison terms. This isn’t rocket science, but the municipal authorities want to act like it is.
No, the explanation is much simpler and darker: The ongoing crime wave and persistent low-level civil conflict (fourth-generation warfare) we are seeing is taking place because those at the top of European society refuse to put a stop to it. Which in turn means that they are in effect aiding and abetting the criminal gangs themselves.
They are deliberately waging 4GW against the people of their own societies. No other conclusion is possible given the enormous amount of evidence which has amassed itself over the years. These heinous crimes are taking place because the ruling class are allowing them to take place. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Kahn, is just one member of that predatory group; there are many others – both inside Britain and elsewhere.
Lee Anderson definitely touched a nerve with his comments. Hence the over-reaction by the authorities.
Talking of 4GW – there is a book out just now called “The New Rules of War: Victory in The Age of Durable Disorder.”
In this book, various COIN (counter-insurgency) tactics are described. One of these (specifically designed to keep the population of a country from resisting) is called “IMPORT AND DILUTE.”
What they are doing to us all has a name. It is an officially designated counter-insurgency tactic!
File under: You just can’t make this stuff up..
“Chinese police will soon be patrolling streets alongside local counterparts in Hungarian cities, according to a new agreement.”
https://www.newsweek.com/china-police-officers-patrol-nato-member-hungary-1878625
There are already 13 Chinese police stations in South Africa.
Well at least the kaffirs fear the red chinks.
That metal machine you featured, Baron, is the Iron Maiden, a Roman Catholic torture device that has spikes that impale the victims.
The UK has fallen under Muslim terrorism. It is a sick ideology and it is not a religion at all.
Re: “Chinese police will soon be patrolling streets alongside local counterparts in Hungarian cities, according to a new agreement.”
Similar stations/facilities now exist in Canada, and even in the U.S. The backstory is fascinating history.
The Chinese government has for years put out propaganda reminding their people of the so-called “century of humiliation,” circa 1855-1949, during which the various western imperial powers had people inside China. Some of this was due to the British presence during the Opium Wars, and some was commercial reasons, and the settlement reached after the Boxer Rebellion crisis of 1900 also comes into play
When Chinese militants opposed to foreigners in their country laid siege to the legation quarter and killed some Western missionaries and others, a multi-national force composed of British, French, Italian, German, Russian, Japanese and American troops broke the siege and beat back the rebels. The cease-fire imposed upon the dowager empress granted the right of those powers to station troops on Chinese soil for many years afterward.
I don’t know if Hungary had troops or police on their soil back in that era, 1900-1941, but I don’t suppose that matters to the current regime in Beijing. They seem bound-and-determined to return the favor to the West, come what may.
Well at least the red chinks will make great target practice when the time comes.
