Two Interviews With Rasmus Paludan

Posted on by

Long-time readers know that we’ve been following Rasmus Paludan’s career trajectory for a number of years, since his earliest days of provocative street theater in various culturally enriched neighborhoods in Denmark. He became internationally notorious after his Koran-burnings caused violent riots in Sweden last Easter. His recent burning of a Koran outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm has earned him a place on the ISIS hit-list.

Last week Vlad did two video interviews with Rasmus. The most intriguing news is that he (Rasmus) is planning to burn a Koran every week outside the Turkish embassy in Copenhagen until Turkish President Erdogan agrees to allow Sweden to join NATO. That’s an ingenious judo move on his part, and I’ll be interested to see what the repercussions are, if any.

Many thanks to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for uploading these videos.

The Murderers of Saman Abbas Go On Trial

Posted on by

In April of 2021 a young Pakistani woman named Saman Abbas disappeared in Italy, and was thought to have been “honor-killed” by her parents and male relatives. It wasn’t until a few months ago that her body was found.

Saman’s father and mother fled to Pakistan, but over the course of the last two years several of her male relatives have been arrested in various European countries. Now her relatives have gone on trial in Reggio Emilia. Her parents are being tried in absentia, while two cousins and an uncle were arrested and are present in person.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Corriere di Bologna:

Saman, the opening of the trial of the relatives: The uncle and the cousins in the courtroom. The fiancé and associations are civil parties

by Margherita Grassi

At the Reggio Emilia courthouse, “Not One Less” [Women’s association] for the 18-year-old Pakistani. The father, not yet extradited, will have a separate hearing. The lawyer for the fiancé: “With the compensation, a foundation to help other girls”.

Associations and activists present outside the tribunal of Reggio Emilia from early morning to act as “shield” for the memory of Saman Abbas, murdered at Novellara on the night of April 30-May 1, 2021.

The trial against the relatives of Saman Abbas

The trial of the five relatives of the girl who refused an arranged marriage is beginning in the criminal court. The uncle, Danish Hasnain, the cousins, Ikram Ijaz and Numanhulaq Numanhulaq, the father, Shabbar Abbas, and the mother, Nazia Shaheen, are accused of complicity in murder. The parents are in Pakistan. Abbas is in custody, the mother is still a fugitive, and it is probable that today the defense lawyers will ask for her removal [from the trial]. Outside the courthouse are banners and posters.

Women’s associations outside the Reggio Emilia Tribunal

“Saman in our heart and in the struggles,” reads a banner of “Not One Less”. Others sing chants asking for justice for the young girl, whose body was found in a cottage near their home in the middle of last November. She was sought in vain for a year and a half. Various associations will take part in the trial civilly, among these already established, Penelope (which cares for relatives and friends of missing persons) and Ucoii, Union of Italian Islamic Communities.

Free to Rape Again

Posted on by

An Afghan culture-enricher in Germany will not be deported when he finishes serving his prison sentence for the rape of two children. He had previously been deported, but snuck back into the country via a circuitous overland route. When he gets out this time, he won’t be deported, because the Taliban are in power now.

Welcome to Germany! Don’t worry: we have plenty of children for you, in case you have a sexual emergency.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Report24. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

“No deportation possible”: Afghan child molester is set free

After the bloody crime in Brokstedt, which was committed by a “stateless Palestinian” and could obviously have been prevented by the authorities, another violent migrant criminal may be unleashed on the population: an Afghan child molester will be released next week after serving his sentence in Germany — there will be no deportation to the Palestinian territories or to Afghanistan.

In March 2018, the then-26-year-old Afghan confessed to the sexual abuse of two neighbor children (6, 8) before the criminal court in Landau in the Palatinate. The refugee, who came to Germany in 2015, was sentenced to three years and six months in prison. The mother of the abused children felt the verdict was too mild because tax evaders would be punished more severely, she explained at the time.

In February 2021, when deportations to Afghanistan were still possible, the convict was deported to Kabul after almost three years in prison, and an entry ban was imposed for several years. Nevertheless, he entered Germany again via Iran, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Albania, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Switzerland. After the Afghan was discovered during a police check, he was returned to prison to serve out the remainder of his sentence. [Just give ‘em the rope, and there’ll be no sneaking back in.]

In a few days — on February 13th — the child molester will be released “after the sentence has been fully served”, as the public prosecutor’s office in Landau confirmed to FOCUS online . There are no plans to deport the offender again. Deportations to Afghanistan have been suspended since August 11, 2021 due to the uncertain security situation after the Taliban took power. The justification of the then-Minister of the Interior Horst Seehofer (CSU): “A constitutional state is also responsible for ensuring that deportations do not become a danger to those involved.” However, criminals and dangerous people would be deported back there as soon as the security situation permitted. [Translated — NEVER.]

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) still rejects the deportation of convicted criminals. Therefore, in the next week, the man will be let loose on the local population, in whom Faeser is obviously not interested in any way — with carte blanche to commit new crimes. Only supervision of conduct was requested by the authority from the responsible chamber for the execution of sentences. If the application is approved, this could mean conditions such as reporting to the probation officer or the police at certain times, as well as the obligation to start therapy. Whether such measures can protect our children from renewed attacks is more than improbable. [Like asking a poisonous snake not to bite.]

Even immigrants who have committed criminal offenses, who usually only have to reckon with comparatively mild sentences anyway, continue to enjoy their hospitality rights in Germany — of course at the cost and expense of the local population. No change in the situation can be expected from the left-wing Minister of the Interior, who keeps babbling about a “danger from the right” and who is still pushing uncontrolled mass immigration by lowering the requirements for naturalization in Germany…

Islam Bans Freedom of Speech for All Human Beings

Posted on by

If you appreciate this essay by Fjordman, please consider making a donation to him, using one of the links at the bottom of this post.

The police in both Norway and Sweden have recently banned people from burning a copy of the Koran. The Danish-Swedish lawyer, politician and activist Rasmus Paludan has burned the Koran in public several times. Muslims staged violent riots over this in several Swedish cities in April 2022.[1] Recently, this has triggered international Islamic protests against Sweden. Turkish President Erdogan has threatened to block Sweden’s NATO membership bid partly because it remains legal in Sweden to burn the Koran.[2]

In February 2023 Swedish police banned a planned burning of the Koran in Stockholm.[3] They cited an increased risk of terror attacks as the reason for this decision.[4] Several experts on free speech question whether the police are allowed to do this according to current Swedish law.[5]

Finland has restrictive laws when it comes to freedom of expression. Even some Finnish politicians such as Jussi Halla-aho from the Finns Party have been legally prosecuted for allegedly making hateful comments about Islam.[6] Police in Finland would not allow a public burning of the Koran, according to the National Police Board. Finnish law stipulates that violating religious peace is a punishable offence, the police board said in a statement.[7]

You can, of course, think what you will about burning books, regardless of which book it is. The fact is, however, that in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark in the year 2023 it is legal to burn books.

The Norwegian activist Hege Storhaug has been writing about Islam and immigration for many years. Her book Islam: Europe Invaded. America Warned is also available in English. She criticized the authorities after the police banned a group from burning a copy of the Koran in front of the Turkish embassy in Oslo.[8] Again, it is questionable whether the police are allowed to do this according to current Norwegian law.

The police in Sweden and Norway are effectively saying in public that they cannot or will not uphold our secular laws, because they are afraid of violent reactions from Muslims. There really is no other way to interpret this behavior. This amounts to submission to Islamic religious law, sharia, and to Islamic rule.

Those who argue that we should simply stop offending Muslims do not understand Islam. The late Kurt Westergaard was one of several Danish artists who made a drawing of Muhammad for the newspaper Jyllands-Posten in 2005. This was deemed offensive by many Muslims, therefore some of them wanted to kill him. Culture editor Flemming Rose and others from Jyllands-Posten have also lived with threats for years for publishing these Muhammad cartoons.[9]

Forced Purdah in Stresa

Posted on by

A Bangladeshi culture-enricher in the Italian city of Stresa, in Piedmont, locked his grown daughter away in forced isolation because she had the temerity to enter into a relationship with a young man. Before the Carabinieri paid him a visit, he had allegedly beaten the young woman and deprived her of nourishment.

The following two videos report on what happened when the Carabinieri raided the apartment in Stresa. Many thanks to HeHa for the translations, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling.

Terror Threats? What Terror Threats?

Posted on by

As reported in the news feed last month, a Palestinian culture-enricher staged a knife jihad attack on a train in Schleswig-Holstein, killing two people and wounding seven others. Now it emerges that the alleged perpetrator threatened to carry out such an attack while he was in prison, and yet he was still released. The Green Party allegedly concealed this fact from the Bundestag.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Junge Freiheit:

Political earthquake in Hamburg

Senator conceals terror threat of the Brokstedt attacker

The Brokstedt attacker has been released even though he threatened a terror attack in prison. Hamburg’s Green Justice Senator conceals this from the Parliament. It is not only Alternative for Germany (AfD) that is demanding consequences.

Hamburg/Brokstedt: A political earthquake is looming in Hamburg in connection with the murderous attack of the Palestinian, Ibrahim A. The asylum seeker, while already in custody for another knife attack, signaled another terrorist attack. However, Justice Senator Anna Gallina (Green Party) concealed this from members of Parliament.

During questioning in the Hamburg Parliament and in the Justice Committee, she didn’t mention one word on this. At that time, the statements of the 33-year-old were already known. It was first during a question by the DPA [German Press Agency] that the incident became public. Accordingly, in August Ibrahim A. told prison officers, “ There is not just one Anis Amri. There are several. I am also one”. In 2016 Amri used a truck to kill 13 people and injure 67 at the Berlin Christmas Market.

AfD: “Gallina is a total failure”

Prison personnel kept the threat in a “detection sheet” in the personal files of the future murderer of Brokstedt. Allegedly, Hamburg’s justice authorities only became aware after the massacre on the regional train. Neither the Senate nor the Security Service [Office for Protection of the Constitution] forwarded this explosive information to the prison management.

The question is whether Ibrahim A. should have been released at all, and whether the two teenagers who were killed on the railway at Brokstedt might still be alive. Hamburg’s AfD faction leader, Dirk Nockemann, sharply criticizes the Justice Senator. “Enough. Everything must be on the table. The Ibrahim A. case is becoming more and more a failure of the Hamburg judiciary. The Green Justice senator is a total failure.” Gallina stated during the Parliamentary hearings that there were no errors in the dealings with Ibrahim A., and in the Justice Committee, she withheld important details.

Special session on Brokstedt assassin

Nockemann is asking for a special session of the Justice Committee — as is the CDU [Christian Democrats]. Even the ruling parties, the SPD [Social Democrats] and the Greens, are in agreement. Dennis Thering, CDU faction leader, is demanding Gallina’s resignation. “If it turns out to be true that Ibrahim A., while in custody, was able to threaten attacks and in spite of that was set free without consequences, then Justice Senator Gallina, in the end, can no longer hold on.”

“Muslims, Don’t Be Silent!”

Posted on by

I posted on Monday about last weekend’s demonstration in Hamburg, which featured zealous Muslims protesting the burning of a Koran in Sweden.

The following video has additional footage from that auspicious occasion. You can see the faithful chanting en masse: “Takbir! Allahu Akhbar!” while raising their index fingers to the sky. That’s a symbol of tawhid, the oneness of Allah, and is used frequently by the mujahideen of the Islamic State and other Salafist groups. Tawhid is seen as a major characteristic distinguishing Islam from Christianity. With its doctrine of the Trinity, the latter is considered polytheistic and blasphemous.

Could Swedish Muslims Be Triggered Into Staging Terrorist Attacks?

Posted on by

It’s undeniable that Rasmus Paludan has really got the world’s 7.8 quadrillion Muslims riled up. There have been large demonstrations against Sweden in majority-Muslim countries all over the world, and — as reported here earlier today — culture-enrichers in Germany have let it be known that their feelings are hurt.

Now it appears that the USA and the UK are warning their citizens to keep a low profile in Sweden, due to the possibility of Islamic terrorist attacks. But how can that be? Everyone knows that Islam is the religion of peace ’n’ love.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Dagens Nyheter:

After Koran burning: USA warns of terror attacks in Sweden

The latest Koran burnings have caused the American government to warn of terror attacks in Sweden.

“The image painted of Sweden is that Koran burnings are sanctioned by protecting Paludan,” says Magnus Ranstorp, who is a terrorism researcher at the Defense Academy.

— Clara Wasell

Due to the latest Koran burnings, American citizens are now urged to “avoid public gatherings” and “keep a low profile”, which SVT was first to report. The reason is potential revenge attacks after Rasmus Paludan’s Koran burnings in Stockholm and Copenhagen, which led to protests in several countries.

Great Britain has also issued a warning for terror attacks in Sweden. In Denmark, the American embassy in Copenhagen already warned of terrorism earlier.

Adam Samara, press spokesman for the Security Police [Säpo] states that they are aware of and have had access to the information in the terror warning for Sweden.

“At the same time, all countries have their own threat assessments. When it comes to the USA and Great Britain, we refer to them.”

In Sweden, the terror threat level remains at a high level, that is to say, three on a scale of five.

Adam Samara doesn’t want to theorize about what lies behind other countries’ assessments, but stresses that Sweden’s terror threat level is reviewed regularly by following the development of events nationally and in the world.

“What we can state is that Koran burnings and the reactions and protests that result amount to a very problematic situation that in itself can be threatening. It is obviously something we are carefully following.”

Magnus Ranstorp believes that the reactions after the latest developments have been violent.

“There are strong feelings going around; most recently, today I saw a video where someone was shooting at a Swedish flag. One problem is the image that is painted of Sweden that Koran burnings are sanctioned by protecting Paludan.”

He believes Koran burnings, together with the hate campaign against social services, where Swedish authorities are accused of kidnapping Muslim children, risk triggering people who live in Sweden.

“The combination of these things has set huge forces in motion internationally; it has really put Sweden on the map.”

“The Koran is the Future”

Posted on by

The following video describes a demonstration staged last Saturday by Muslims in Hamburg. The protesters were angry because Rasmus Paludan burned a Koran in Sweden back in January. They demanded better treatment for Muslims.

Pimping For Allah

Posted on by

Islamic law is very strict concerning sexual intercourse: it must not under any circumstances occur outside of marriage. Shi’ite Muslims, however, have devised an ingenious workaround: the “temporary marriage”. A man who is feeling sexually deprived simply pays an imam to perform a marriage between himself and a woman who agrees to the arrangement in return for a (small) cut of the fee. Afterwards, as soon as his caftan is covering his ankles again, he intones Talaq! Talaq! Talaq!, and the divorce is finalized.

Shi’ites in Sweden were recently discovered to be engaging extensively in such temporary marriages, and the Swedish authorities were shocked — shocked! — to learn that such an egregious exploitative practice was occurring in their beloved Folkhemmet.

The following report from the Swedish state broadcaster SVT discusses all this pimping for Allah. The general thrust, as it were, is: Don’t worry — the imams now have an action plan, and everything is under control.

After revelations about buying sex— Muslim leaders fired

January 30, 2023

Uppdrag Investigation

Shia Muslim leaders have conducted marriages of women purchased by men for casual sex, which Uppdrag [Assignment] revealed in the spring. Now the imams and religious leaders featured in the reportage are gone from their duties. “People have abused temporary marriages,” says Haider Ibrahim, chairman of the Shia Islamic Association in Sweden.

Temporary marriages or so-called “pleasure marriages” are a practice within Shia Islam that is officially described as shorter relations within the framework of religion. But Uppdrag’s investigation was able to reveal that it also functions as a kind of religiously-sanctioned prostitution. This is where imams are paid to conduct marriages of vulnerable women in “pleasure marriages” to men who want to buy casual sex.

Stopped contributions

The revelation caused a big reaction. One who reacted was Police Chief Petra Stenkula in Malmö.

“If I had led the preliminary investigation, I would have probably written a report on human trafficking,” she said in connection with the investigation.

The umbrella organization, Shia Islamic Association in Sweden (ISS), reacted and froze the membership and stopped contributions for twelve identified associations. They also began their own investigation, which is now finished.

“We have asked questions of all the congregations, and imams, and spoken with our members. We have gone deep into what occurred,” says Haider Ibrahim, chairman of ISS.

Ignacio Garriga: Islam is Incompatible With the Culture of the West

Posted on by

Ignacio Garriga is the Secretary General of the Spanish anti-immigration party Vox. Last week he was featured here in a video in which he made remarks about the lunacy of importing third-world criminals into Catalonia.

Since then a Moroccan culture-enricher launched a knife jihad attack in Algeciras. He attacked two churches, killing one person and wounding at least four others. Mr. Garriga’s remarks in the video below concern last week’s deadly events in Algeciras.

The Mother of Satan Pays a Visit to Brussels

Earlier today I posted about Monday’s knife jihad attack in Brussels. The following video is also about Brussels, specifically the Schaerbeek district of the city, but it refers to events in early 2016, when the soldiers of Allah staged a jihad attack using TATP (“Mother of Satan”). It was a popular haunt for mujahideen back then, and it’s even more popular today.

Knife Jihad at the Schuman Metro Station

Posted on by

On Monday night a culture-enricher went on a stabbing rampage at a Metro station in Brussels. (Jihad Watch has a useful report on the incident.)

During his attack the unfortunate youth is alleged by some witnesses to have cried “Allahu Akhbar”, which is Arabic for “I am known to the police and the medical profession as having a history of mental health issues.”

There has been no official announcement of the perpetrator’s name, but based on various media reports, his name is “Anwar H.”, so the attack evidently has a Mohammed Coefficient of 0%.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Belgian site 7sur7:

Attack at Schuman: The suspect was not known to any intelligence service

The man suspected of committing a knife attack on Monday evening at the Schuman Metro station in Brussels was not known to either the intelligence services or the Organ of Coordination and Threat Analysis (OCAM), Minister of Justice Vincent van Quickenborne told the [Parliamentary] Committee Wednesday. He was responding to a question from Katja Gabriëls.

His criminal record was clean. He had never been imprisoned, but had been admitted to psychiatric institutions several times.

Review of the facts

On Monday at around 5:45pm an individual armed with a knife wounded three persons on a Metro train that had arrived at Schuman station. He was neutralized a short time later in the station by several police officers. He is a 30-year-old man. The motive for his attack is not yet known, but at present nothing indicates he was motivated by a terrorism, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Murder attempt

After being overpowered and handcuffed by police, the individual was questioned Monday night. He was then brought before an investigating magistrate designated by the Brussels Prosecutor’s Office. The magistrate decided on Tuesday to place him under an order of arrest on the charge of attempted murder.

Three wounded

Three persons were victims of this attack, including a 25-year-old man who was gravely wounded and is still hospitalized, but whose life is no longer in danger. The two other victims — a 40-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman, both lightly wounded — have already been able to leave the hospital.

Imad Karim: “A Society That Has Forgotten How to Defend Itself”

Posted on by

Imad Karim is a Lebanese immigrant who settled in Germany as a teenager in the 1970s and eventually built a career in broadcasting and film. Here’s a thumbnail bio for him based on his wiki entry and his website (in German):

Imad Karim was born in Beirut. He attended school there and graduated from high school in 1975-1976. In the shadow of the Lebanese civil war that broke out in April 1975, he began his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Beirut (ALBA). In 1977 he continued his studies, which were interrupted by the war, in Germany. His study stations began in Berlin (German language courses), then Mainz (preparatory college) and then Mannheim, where he completed his master’s degree in social science (political science) in 1987. From 1987 to 1991, Imad Karim supported himself by translating into and from Arabic. Beginning in the 1990s he worked as a freelance TV journalist, film author and director.

Mr. Karim, like many well-educated exiles from Middle Eastern sumps, became an Islam-critic. In due course he was blocked by Facebook. He has been a guest speaker at events sponsored by the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany).

In the following video Imad Karim laments the passing of the great civilization that has served as his adopted home for almost half a century. He wrote the text for it in 2018.
