The Islamofascists are the Fascists, Not Geert Wilders

A. Millar of the Brussels Journal writes about the growth of Europe's national-interest political parties in the wake of overwhelming and uncontrolled Islamic immigration.
"If supporters of Israel are now portrayed as far-Right, the Jews are portrayed as the new Nazis, or 'Zio-Nazis' by pro-Hamas agitators in Britain and Europe. At Durban II recently, a member of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's entourage even accosted Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Elie Wiesel, and repeatedly screamed 'Zionazi' at him. In this applied historical revisionism – aided by the useful idiots of Britain’s and Europe’s politicians and media – Muslims must be portrayed as the new Jews, and Palestine, the new or real Holocaust."
Last month’s EU election results saw the press reacting with horror at the rise of “far-Right” parties. However, while some parties (such as the anti-Semitic Jobbik, which created a paramilitary wing in 2007) are indeed far-Right, some others described as such, are, as Soeren Kern has observed, among “[…] the best allies that Jews (and Israel) will find in Europe today.”

The most egregious piece of propaganda I saw during the recent EU election period was an article on EUobserver.com about Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom. Written by one Andrew Willis, and entitled “Netherlands embraces far right in EU elections,” the author decried the party as “far-Right” and “xenophobic.” This despite the fact that the Party for Freedom is a staunch defender of Israel, and that Wilders spent some of his youth in the country, and still visits it regularly.

Particularly troubling, however, was a photograph of a group of skinheads accompanying the text, along with the caption: “Neo-nazi youth look on as Geert Wilders campaigns in Leeuwarden, Netherlands.” The suggestion was of course that “neo-Nazi youth” are the real voters of the Party for Freedom, because the party is really neo-Nazi. Yet, nothing could be further from the truth (and curiously, there is not the slightest hint of Wilders or his party in the photograph).

Although it opposes mass immigration, especially from Muslim countries, the Party for Freedom wants its immigrants to assimilate into Dutch society and enjoy the benefits of democracy and liberty. The party also ran on an essentially libertarian platform of defending women’s rights and protecting gays from street violence perpetrated by Muslim gangs (the extent of the latter problem was revealed last year after fashion model Mike Du Pree was dragged from the catwalk and assaulted by ten Muslim youths, shocking the Netherlands).

The good news is that some in Europe are beginning to wake up to the tragedy that is socialism. And the danger of allowing unchecked immigration of people who abhor your society.

Opie,

Some speculate that Europe "waking up" during these events is not unlike a patient waking during surgery. The panic may make the whole situation worse.

Europeans don't evolve; they have flashpoints.

Having read a transcript of an interview on Rab's blog - as far as I can see, Geert Wilders is a decent man who says what many people in Britain and Europe think and the "nazi/far right" label our fascist/socialist governments eagerly try to pin on him is just another of their fictional Lefty smears. I can see why Jacqui Smith and Co. were so keen to stop him showing his film and addressing the House of Lords by denying him entry to Britain - he says exactly what they fear most - he speaks the truth.

Nickie, what is the code on that socialized medicine clickable link up there on the right? I'd like to post that on my blog.

Opie, No Code. I used the Blogger ADD A GADGET thingie. Go ahead and steal the image, put it in the thingie, and then link it to the appropriate page.

Roller Dude has a point. 65 years
of NATO and American garrisons has diminished their defensive instincts and allowed them to maintain ridiculously small defense budgets.

Add to that the corrosive idea of a European "identity" for the diverse peoples living there, and you have no focus for national or cultural loyalties.

Immigrants won't assimilate to a geographical entity known as the EU. You can't feel any loyalty to a diffuse welfare state.

What interests me is why the various European national governments are so keen on protecting the anachronistic habits of some immigrant groups..and why, in particular, prominent women in the media do not lead a campaign to make people in general aware of the hellish lives of some of these immigrant women. Whatever can be their agenda?
