Jihad and Prince Charles

Jihad and the Heir to the British Throne

by David Abbott

Prince Charles’s undignified sucking up to Muslims is so extreme it is widely rumoured he is a secret convert to Islam.

The idea of him lugging around a prayer mat and turning to face Mecca five times a day seems incongruous, and the rumours may well be false, but he has made so many speeches endorsing Islam as the solution to the spiritual and cultural ills of Britain and the West that people are naturally suspicious.

In 2001 a beaming Prince Charles opened a London mosque. As he was shown around the prayer hall in the new Al Manaar Mosque in west London he praised the modern building.

This mosque became a breeding ground for Islamic State killers, with two of them, Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, making the news on February 8 when it was announced they had been captured by Syrian Kurdish forces.

Security experts had long suspected it was a hub for young Muslims subsequently involved in the Syrian war, and on February 8th 2016 the Mirror had revealed that at least nine members of the Islamic State had regularly attended it, including Kotey, Elsheikh, Mohammed Emwazi (‘Jihadi John’) and Aine Davis, who were together called ‘the Beatles’ because of their English accents by the captives they tortured in Syria.

The purpose-built mosque was where Emwazi got to know Kotey, who also went by the name Big Sid from his Islamic name Sidique, and who was probably ‘Ringo’. In the quiet street outside the building Kotey talked openly of suicide bombing. Emwazi, Kotey and Davis had formed a close bond at the Al Manaar Mosque long before their reign of terror began in the IS stronghold of Raqqa, where Emwazi appeared in several gruesome IS videos beheading hostages, including British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning and US journalist James Foley.

The ‘Beatles’ group kept their hostages in a state of permanent fear, forcing them to fight each other in boxing matches as they watched and then torturing the losers. Their torture techniques included electric shocks from Taser guns, waterboarding and mock executions, including a staged crucifixion. Their ‘execution cell’ beheaded more than 27 Western hostages and at least 18 Syrian soldiers and tortured many more captives.

A Danish hostage, Daniel Rye, who was released in June 2014, recalled in a book published the following year how ‘Ringo’ kicked him 25 times in his ribs on his 25th birthday, telling him it was a gift. In his chilling book, Rye wrote that ‘George’ dominated the group of jailers and was the most violent and unpredictable. Rye also described being taken to an open grave where a suspected spy was shot by Emwazi on the instructions of ‘George’. The scene was filmed by ‘Ringo’. Rye said these terrorists forced him and other hostages to climb into the grave, where they were photographed.

In social media posts Kotey stated he was ‘as British as they come’, adding he was ‘born and raised in Shepherd’s Bush, was a big QPR fan, love a good old fry up in the mornings’.

Polish cavalry in the ruins of Sochaczew, September 1939*

It’s become somewhat of a tradition here at Gates of Vienna to feature Al Stewart’s song “Laughing into 1939” in a New Year’s Eve post. As far as I can determine, we’ve used it three times in the past — in 2008, 2010, and 2016.

And I’m including it here yet one more time on the departing tail of 2017. How could I resist? Especially now that it’s available on YouTube, so that everyone can hear the haunting melody while they read the bittersweet lyrics (which are reproduced at the bottom of this post):

Even though we’ve been laughing into 1939 for almost ten years, somehow that fateful year hasn’t quite arrived. Yet.

To ponder the bittersweet New Year’s Eve of 1938 is to view it in retrospect, with all the benefits granted by hindsight. Just as those long-dead partygoers did, we’re walking backwards towards whatever our own grim rendezvous with destiny may be. Fifty years from now our descendants will understand that moment and what it meant. But for the time being, we know nothing about it.

And it may not be a cataclysmic moment like those of August 1914 or September 1939. It may be a long, drawn-out cataclysm, moving imperceptibly down a seemingly endless slope, ledge by ledge, until we reach the bottom. Maybe something like the Thirty Years’ War.

Or perhaps we’re midway through our own version of 1789-1815, which began with the overthrow of the Ancien Régime and ended with the New World Order ushered in by the Congress of Vienna. How was Prince Metternich to know that the magnificent system he godfathered was to last barely a century? That his glittering Austrian Empire would be shattered into minute fragments by his successors?

Perhaps our cataclysm began in February 1979, when Ayatollah Khomeini seized power and established the Islamic Republic of Iran. Since then we have seen sudden sharp drops as we descend from ledge to ledge — the Marine barracks in Lebanon, Gulf War I, Khobar Towers, the Cole, 9-11, Afghanistan, Gulf War II, “The Arab Spring”, on and on…

It’s not over yet, not by a long shot. The current war is sometimes called “The Long War”, and with good reason — it will most likely continue for another generation or two. We may laugh into our own 1939 for fifty or sixty years.

After ten years of this, I no longer make specific predictions. We’re laughing into whatever year it may be. Let’s see what 2018 has up its sleeve.

Christian Monk in Egypt: “I Think it’s Time for the Islamic Empire”

Posted on by

The following video is an excerpt from a documentary that aired on Duna, the Hungarian public broadcaster. It features an interview with a Coptic monk in Egypt, Father Maximus, who discusses the persecution of Christians under Muslim regimes, and what lies ahead for Europe as it becomes more and more Islamic.

A note from the translator:

This is the translation of the Hungarian dubbing of an interview originally done in English. I was concentrating on the Hungarian version when I was translating back to English, so obviously I could not match word-for-word with the original, which can be heard in multiple places in the interview. Also, because of the nature of dubbing the Hungarian translation, the original English is not always in sync. I matched the translation in sync with the Hungarian dubbing.

The following description accompanied the original video:

The documentary was made by Beatrix Siklósi and Géza Marossy, two Hungarian documentary filmmakers, about the trips to the Middle East and Egypt by Father Csaba Böjte (a Transylvanian-Hungarian Catholic monk, renowned for his homes for orphan children, in which he housed, taught and integrated for society in the most civilized way, thousands of orphan children, in a Romania, where usually the institutions for orphan children are places of abuse, rape, etc.), Szabolcs Sajgó (representative of the Jesuit mission) and György Hölvényi [Hungarian MEP from the Hungarian Christian-Democratic Party, Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz’s ally], under a Hungarian government program for helping Christians from Middle East, Iraq, Syria and Egypt to start a new life in their countries. This documentary shows the life and tragedy of the Christians under Islamic and terrorist rule.

Two documentaries were made. The first part is about the Iraqi and the Syrian Christians, and the second one about the Egyptian Coptic Christians, the terror attacks against them, their harsh life under constant threat.

The part of the documentary presented here was filmed in the monastery of Saint Anthony the Great, where the Christian monk founded the first monastery near Nitria in Egypt. An interview with Father Maximus, who lives in the monastery with 120 monks.

Interview With Michael Stürzenberger About His Victory in the Appeals Court

Posted on by

We reported last summer on the case of Michael Stürzenberger, a well-known German Islam-critic and opponent of the proposed mega-mosque in Munich. In August Mr. Stürzenberger was convicted and sentenced to six months in prison for posting a photo of a Nazi official and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem on his Facebook page. That’s the photo at the top of this post, a historically accurate photo of what happened in World War Two — Jew-hating Nazis collaborating with Jew-hating Muslims.

Yesterday Mr. Stürzenberger’s conviction was overturned by a higher court. The legal process is not over for him, however; the prosecution can (and probably will) appeal the verdict at a higher level. And he is also due in court again on Friday, facing a different charge: two years ago in a speech at PEGIDA he quoted Hamed Abdel-Samad’s reference to Islam as a “fascist ideology”. Apparently that’s against the law in Modern Multicultural Germany, and he will have to answer for it.

Nevertheless, yesterday’s verdict was a victory for the Counterjihad in Germany and the rest of Western Europe. In the following interview, Michael Stürzenberger discusses his case with Vlad Tepes:

Alessandro Meluzzi: The Entire Islamic World Has Reached a Boiling Point

Alessandro Meluzzi is an Italian psychiatrist, writer, politician, and academic. Paolo Crepet is a psychiatrist, writer, and sociologist. Davide Piccardo is a Muslim activist and Huffington Post Italy contributor, the son of Hamza Piccardo.

The following video is from a TV panel show that aired last summer. It shows a discussion among the three men, plus the presenter — in which, it must be said, Dr. Meluzzi does most of the talking — about Islam and Europe.

The graphics that appear on the screen titled separately are translations of tweets from the audience that were shown on the screen at intervals during the panel discussion.

Mutti, Take Me Home From Camp Shahada!

Posted on by

The following video shows an appeal made by a young German woman who converted to Islam and made hijra to Syria to fight for the Islamic State (or at least get married to an ISIS fighter). As the Islamic State collapsed, she was captured by the Peshmerga and interned in a POW camp. Now she wants to come home, and appeals directly to Angela Merkel for help.

Nash Montana, who translated the video for subtitles, has these observations about the patois spoken by the young German Muslima:

Even though Nadja R. is a German-born German, she speaks the language like a retarded person. You might say she speaks “ebonics”, German-style. The kind of Islamized German that Muslims speak in Germany. She has totally taken on the low-IQ-speak and -think of Muslims.

Update: Jackson has kindly created a transcript without the embedded time stamps. The text has been added after the end of Mr. Orbán’s speech.

The video below is an excerpt from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s speech at a conference of the Christian Intellectuals’ Association.

Mr. Orbán is a man of impressive intellect. It took me a while to edit the translated transcript of this speech, and as I did so I absorbed the logic and rhythm of his arguments. Then, after Vlad completed the subtitling, when I was able to watch him speak, I realized that he just glanced at his notes occasionally while he delivered the speech — no teleprompter.

That’s an impressive performance for a 21st-century politician.

Sixteen Years…

Posted on by

…And one would have thought things would have changed for the better, but they haven’t. In fact, they’ve ratcheted back a couple of notches.

The Great Jihad is that much further advanced than it was on September 11, 2001. We are unable to name the enemy, so fighting him has become that much more difficult.

The politically correct Narrative that forbids any recognition of the Islamic enemy was not created by George W. Bush, but it was cemented firmly in place by him for seven years, and then set in concrete for another eight years by Barack Obama. The fact that America could elect and then re-elect a president named Hussein shows the iron grip the Narrative has on the throat of American culture.

Our leadership is required to demonstrate that it is doing something against the perpetrators of atrocities such as the ones in Boston, Orlando, and San Bernardino, so it fights “terrorism” — by spending trillions of dollars bombing and occupying the Hindu Kush, or establishing and propping up Iranian puppets in Iraq, or fomenting regime change across the rest of the Middle East. Our foreign policy has moved beyond the naïve and feckless to the psychotic: we destroy the despotic satrapies of the Muslim world so that we are required to import millions of the resulting “refugees” — untold thousands of whom enter the West with the declared intention of killing as many of us as they possibly can.

The Narrative that supports all this absurdity can only be maintained via an ever-tightening regime of thought control. Anyone who speaks the truth about Islam is likely to be harassed, vilified, sued, and fired from his job when he is not actually arrested and prosecuted. “Anti-fascist” thugs have been conscripted as a state-sanctioned paramilitary force to intimidate anyone who dares to depart from the Narrative. John Q. Public now has to fear the red flag of the Antifas as much as the black flag of Jihad.

I could go on, but you all know the story. Oceania is at war with Eastasia. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Happy September 11th, everyone.

Hoped-For Funerals in Berlin

Berlin: Syrian ‘Unaccompanied Minor’ Arrested For Planning Terror Attack

by Egri Nök

An original translation from Berliner Zeitung (B.Z.):

Arrest Warrant Against ISIS Sleeper
Youth Planned Terror Attack with Kalashnikov in Berlin

Berlin — September 4, 2017

A young Syrian is in court: he came to Germany to commit an attack: not an attack with knife or vehicle, but “something larger”.

The Halle district court has issued an arrest warrant in the case against a young terror suspect from Syria. The chamber justified this by citing a flight risk. It stood to reason that the plaintiff, who is, according to his own statement, 16 years old, had not abandoned his attack plans, and could only put them into action by fleeing. The case was submitted to the Senate For State Security at the Supreme Court.

The case against the 16-year-old was opened in Halle two weeks ago. Because of the young age of the plaintiff, the proceedings were not public. The Senate For State Security at the Higher Regional Court Berlin is in charge of terror offenses in Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt.

Syrian Entered Germany in Autumn 2015 as Refugee

The youth is charged with preparing a severe subversive violent crime. The Syrian entered Germany in autumn 2015 as unaccompanied minor refugee, and allegedly sympathizes with the Jihadi militia Islamic State (ISIS). The proceedings began in Halle end of August in closed session.

Did he plan a terror attack in Berlin as an ISIS sleeper?

The plaintiff had, according to charges, volunteered as a so-called sleeper for ISIS since he entered the Federal Republic [of Germany], by showing serious willingness to commit a terror attack in Berlin. Furthermore, he was collecting and distributing ISIS propaganda materials.

Moreover, he downloaded a 94-page manual for building a Kalashnikov from the internet to his mobile phone, with the intention of using it for an attack in Berlin.

Al Nusra Comes to Germany

Well, the Germans can’t say that nobody warned them.

The article below was posted earlier today at Vlad Tepes in a slightly different form.*

Germany: 60+ Syrian Refugees In Fact Al Nusra Fighters

by Egri Nök

An original translation from the German newspaper Merkur.

Members of Islamist Group in Germany

Report: About 60 Men From Terror Militia Came As Refugees

About 60 fighters from a Syrian Islamist Militia are living in Germany, according to media reports. The Office for the Protection of the Constitution [“Verfassungsschutz”, German Intelligence Service — translator] is monitoring the former fighters.

Hamburg — as the news magazine “Spiegel” reports, quoting intelligence findings, the members of the group Liwa Kwais al-Karni came to Germany as refugees. The unit initially fought on the side of the Free Syrian Army and then changed over to the Nusra Front, which is close to Al-Qaeda.

According to the report, their members were involved in “several massacres of captive civilians and Syrian soldiers.” Currently, there are investigations underway against 25 former fighters of the unit.

Authorities think that at least 30 more fighters of the group are living in Germany. But many of them have not yet been identified with absolute certainty or tracked down. According to information obtained by “Spiegel”, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution has formed a task group on this issue.

They’re Here, You’re Kaffir — Get Used To It!

Posted on by

Years ago, before the European “refugee” crisis really exploded, the phrase “deliberate population replacement” seemed a bit over the top. Yes, population replacement is indeed what’s happening — but how do we know it’s deliberate?

Well, that was then, and this is now.

It’s become clear that the “asylum” racket is a complete scam. Now that Chancellor Merkel and her eternal coalition are secure in their seat of permanent power, they’ve given up trying to keep the “refugee” scrim in place in front of what they’re doing. Everybody’s coming in, and no one will be leaving — Europeans just may as well get used to it.

Egri Nök has translated two articles about new migration developments in Europe. Both were originally published at Vlad Tepes in a slightly different form.

The first article concerns the recent announcement that — surprise! — rejected asylum seekers in Germany won’t really have to leave. They’ll get benefits and work permits, just like the actual “refugees”. It makes one wonder why they bother with the charade of an asylum application process — it would save a lot of time and administrative resources just to let them all in and immediately hand them their goodies.

Oh well, now that they are here and we can’t or won’t send them away, we might as well give them work permits and federal funds

An original translation from German daily newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt:

Merkel and Scholz: Integrate Rejected Asylum Seekers

by Christoph Heinemann and Christian Unger
August 25, 2017


Olaf Scholz, mayor of Hamburg, and Angela Merkel

Abendblatt exclusive: Access to language courses and Federal Funds
Merkel formed task team in response to Scholz’ Motion

Hamburg/Berlin — The lost ones meet every Friday evening in a cafe in the Schanze. Seven young Afghans without the prospect of staying — as their asylum application has either been in process for more than one year, or has been decided upon negatively, they aren’t allowed to work or to attend a proper language course[1].

Several thousand of such people, often merely “tolerated” for years, live in Hamburg.

Mayor Olaf Scholz (SPD, Social Democrats) apparently wants to grant these people extensive assistance measures. As Abendblatt learnt exclusively, back in June a task force was formed upon the decision of chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU, Christian Democrats), which is to develop suggestions. Members of this task force are representatives of the Senate, the Chief of the Federal Agency for Work, Detlef Scheele (SPD), as well as leaders of Saarland, which is led by the CDU. In November the group is expected to present their findings at a meeting of the Federal Presidents.

Scholz wants to give rejected asylum seekers a perspective

Olaf Scholz (SPD) had put the topic on the agenda at a meeting of the minister presidents, according to sources in the Senate. The plan is to assist all those asylum seekers more, who do not have a reliable prospect of staying, but who de facto will be in Germany for a longer period of time. “You need to face reality and give these people a chance, too,” a source close to Scholz said. The chief of the Agency for Work and former Senator for Social issues, Detlef Scheele, allegedly is also among the advocates for better assistance of the affected people.

Possible reforms are politically sensitive

A source close to the mayor says that several concrete steps are possible: the admission of people from countries such as Afghanistan into integration courses of the Federal Agency for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and better care by the Federal Agency for Work, and faster issuance of work permits.

According to the source, in the future, foreigners who are merely tolerated[2] might also be able to profit from assistance programmes, for example the Federal Agency for Work might pay for part of their wage, to encourage giving work to refugees. The focus of the efforts is intended to be on people who have already been living in Hamburg and in other federal states for a few years with an insecure prospect of staying.

Speaker of the Senate Jörg Schmoll did not want to comment on the task force and the suggestions upon request. A spokesman for the Federal Agency for Work merely confirmed that Detlef Scheele would deliver a presentation at the next meeting of the minister presidents. The making available of funds for (rejected) asylum seekers is politically sensitive. Normally, a “tolerance” (suspension of deportation) is only issued when a deportation cannot be carried out for concrete reasons, for example illness. But in fact, deportations to Afghanistan are extremely rare, due to the situation in that country. In Hamburg, Afghans make up the largest group of asylum seekers and refugees, even ahead of the Syrians.

Translator’s notes:

1.   “aren’t allowed to work or to visit a proper language course“ — Every foreigner in Germany, legal or illegal, may sign up for the many language courses available on the free market. So what is meant by “proper language course” must be public-funded language courses with no tuition fee.
2.   “tolerated“, “geduldet”, is a legal term for people who are in Germany illegally, but who are not deported for a variety of reasons.
 

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

The second translation draws attention to the larger implications of this “no one must be sent home” policy — the millions of additional immigrants who will be admitted under the family reunification program:

Orange County Imam Exposed

Posted on by

The following post was published earlier today at FouseSquawk in a slightly different form.


Imam Sayed Moustafa al Qazwini

Orange County Imam Exposed

“Israel created ISIS.”

Add another US-based imam to the list of all those so-called moderate imams who soothe us at interfaith meetings but are really not so moderate. Sayed Moustafa al Qazwini is a Shia imam in Orange County who is active at inter-faith meetings. I have seen and heard him speak on at least a couple of occasions. Now it is revealed that he gave a sermon in June in which he charged that it was Israel who created ISIS. Not only that, he has doubled down on the charge in recent days.

As stated above, I have heard Qazwini speak at least two times. In April 2012, he was part of an event at Marymount College in Los Angeles put on by several local Muslim leaders to defend sharia law. During the Q and A I was able to get a response directly from him when I asked why they were not condemning Islamic intolerance towards religious minorities in Muslim lands (and Europe).

Q: “We have heard a lot of talk today about hate and intolerance, but there is an 800 pound gorilla in the back of the room, and its name is hate and intolerance. It is not the hate and intolerance that may or not be directed to you, but the hate and intolerance that is being carried out by Muslims against religious minorities in Muslim countries — people being killed and their places of worship destroyed — from the Coptic Christians in Egypt, to the Christians in Pakistan, the Jews in Yemen, the Baha’i in Iran, the Christians in Iraq and the Christians and animists in Sudan. In addition, Jews in Europe are now experiencing the worst anti-Semitism since the 1930s. It has gotten to the point where they cannot walk the streets wearing Jewish garb lest they be insulted, spat upon or assaulted. Yes, some of the perpetrators are neo-Nazis and skinheads, but the primary perpetrators are young, male Muslim immigrants. ‘I am not attributing that to Muslims in America’, I said. ‘I don’t hate Muslims and I don’t know anyone in this room who does, but why do you never speak out against that hate and intolerance?’”

Qazwini was the first to respond. He said there were two problems. First of all, most of these countries are not free countries, and for the past eight decades, the Western superpowers, including the US, have supported these regimes. “Don’t blame Islam”, he said. “Don’t blame it on Muslims.”

Qazwini also said that he has been active on the UC Irvine campus for 17 years and every Friday, he speaks out against this intolerance.”

I also heard Qazwini speak in 2015 during an event dedicated to a discussion about violent extremism. It was held at the Pacifica Institute in Irvine, an organization run by Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish dissident who lives in Pennsylvania and whom Turkish President Erdogan has accused of fomenting the attempted coup that occurred in Turkey (subsequent to this particular event). Once again, Qazwini responded to a question I posed about the campaign of genocide against Christians in the Middle East:
