Islamists are stifling debate in what was Europe’s freest country, says Douglas Murray.
‘Would you write the name you’d like to use here, and your real name there?” asked the girl at reception. I had just been driven to a hotel in the Hague. An hour earlier I’d been greeted at Amsterdam airport by a man holding a sign with a pre-agreed cipher. I hadn’t known where I would be staying, or where I would be speaking. The secrecy was necessary: I had come to Holland to talk about Islam.
Last weekend, four years after his murder, Pim Fortuyn’s political party, Lijst Pim Fortuyn, held a conference in his memory on Islam and Europe. The organisers had assembled nearly all the writers most critical of Islam’s current manifestation in the West. The American scholars Daniel Pipes and Robert Spencer were present, as were the Egyptian-Jewish exile and scholar of dhimmitude, Bat Ye’or, and the great Muslim apostate Ibn Warraq.

Is The Last Crusade On The March?

Special Report By Al Andalusi
This report takes account of the exploding situation across the Islamic Ummah uniting them against the
blasphemous attack on Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) by the European Press. It has not only
shocked and inflamed the Muslims but also unveiled the evil face of “freedom” concealed in Godless
Secularism, ready to launch a new Crusade against Social and Cultural Islam.
Guardians of the Honor!!
It was a peaceful night in Damascus in the year 1162 A.D. He had just gone to bed after completing his mid-night
prayers. As he descended into deep snooze, a noble saint with face shining came to him and pointing towards two
men with blue eyes, said, “Protect me from these two”. He just could not absorb it anymore and woke up trembling
in distress. He performed ablution and offered prayers and again went to sleep. The same saint interrupted him
again asking to protect against the evil of the two men. He woke up again and offered prayers and went to bed. The
dream repeated for the third time and he just jumped out of this bed asserting, “It’s too much of slumber!!” He
immediately called for his noble vizier Jamal Ad Din and shared his dream with him. The vizier advised him to keep
the matter undisclosed and immediately head off to Madina.
The man was Sultan Nur Ad Din Zangi, who ruled the Muslim lands bordering Crusader States in Palestine during
tenth century. The noble saint who came in the dream was Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) himself. The
Sultan departed for Madina with a few men and loads of luggage on speedy camels. After sixteen days of journey
the royal caravan entered Madina. The Sultan went straight to the Prophet’s Mosque and offered two raka’s of
prayers. After while he gathered Medinaites and began distributing valuable gifts. Then began the royal feast for all
the inhabitants under strict orders from the Sultan that no one was allowed to miss. Meanwhile the Sultan kept
careful eye on all the attendees to recognize the faces of the two men whom Prophet Muhammed (Peace Be Upon
Him) had pointed to. The feast passed on but all in vain. The Sultan asked curiously if anyone was left out from the
feast, the crowd denied. It was after repeated insistence by the Sultan that he came to know about the two
westerners staying near the mausoleum of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). They had a public
reputation of being celibates purely devoted to prayers all the time. They were brought before Sultan who took no
time recognizing them; they were the same blue-eyed men shown in his dream. The Sultan inquired about their
identities and motives. They cunningly produces the story that they were pilgrims from the West, had come to
attend annual Hajj but the strong desire to stay nearer to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) held them
in Medina. The Sultan went into their room where all he could find were some scattered books. This situation left the
Sultan in serious puzzle amid frequent requests of pardon by the Madinaites defending the two men being very
pious who would regularly visit Jannat al Baqee Graveyard and would generously spend in charity during drought
years. The embarrassing situation remained until an idea struck Sultan’s mind and he quickly removed the prayer
mat where there was a rock. He removed the rock and in his extreme shock and anger found a tunnel dug deep
leading to Prophet Muhammad’s (Peace Be Upon Him) grave. The Sultan immediately arrested the two men and
forced them to disclose the reality. The two men revealed that they were Christian spies dispatched and funded for
a special mission by Christian Kings to enter prophet’s grave and take his body away. The Sultan infuriated by the
plot, had those evil spies executed and their bodies burned. Moreover under his orders, a channel dug around the
Prophet’s grave and filled with molten copper to protect his grave from any further mischievous attempts forever.
Today Nur Ad Din Zangi is no more but the new phase of evil attempts on the honor of our Prophet have again
sprung up backed by Dollars, Pounds, Cronies, Liras and Francs of the European Union in the name of “Freedom of
Press”. The Christian Europe has thrown a clear challenge to the Islamic World who love their Prophet (Peace Be
Upon Him) more than their mothers. Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is reported to have said in one of
his traditions: “You CANNOT be a believer until and unless you love me more than your selves, you parents,
your children, your wives, your wealth and all the humanity.”
Another Crusade!!
The new disturbing situation after the publication of blasphemous cartoons by the European press and the defiance
by the governments not to take action against these evil attempts has put fuel to already furious situation in the
streets across the Islamic World. While Muslim leaders sleep the European nations seem to be united in their
deliberate slandering of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) that one can seldom find any parallel in recent
modern history. Their continuous insistence on the “Freedom of Press” must not be shocking for the students of
Secular History in Europe that it was Europe in 17th century where the seeds of Godless and moral less Secularism
were nourished, funded and participated by secretive and mysterious Freemasonry that had strong elements of Anti
Islamic prejudice trailing back from the Ottoman Empire’s conquests of Eastern Europe. The modern Europe with all
its Secular traditions finds it difficult to completely dissociate itself from the shadows of the past thus bringing out
hypocritical policies being anti-religious in general and anti-Islamic in particular. The accession of Turkey with
European Union magnifies the fears of Christian Europe that the large population of Muslim Turks would alter the
demography of the continent in favour of Islam and Europe’s primarily Secular and inherently Christian identity
would not only suffer a severe damage but it may vanish altogether in a few years. This “Demographic Time bomb”
of Europe becomes even more horrible due to fast growing population of Muslim immigrants. The countries like
Austria strongly oppose any Turkish entry into Europe describing that Vienna that even the Ottomans could not
conquer with full military muscle in 15th century would easily be Islamized through immigration. The immigration
laws in Northern European and Scandinavian nations have toughened in the recent years to limit the inflow of
Muslim immigrants.
The political polarization after September 11th strikes in the United States have permeated into social and cultural
spheres as well. The US President George Bush could not resist using word “Crusade” while declaring war on
Political Islam in the guise of “War on Terror”. The Political Crusade has swallowed Afghanistan and Iraq, and is
heading towards Iran, Syria and Pakistan, the new phase of Crusades this time on Cultural and Social level have
been sparked not by the US but her low profile and smaller allies in Europe. The recent cultural onslaught is
interestingly led by the Catholic Europe signaling that the longstanding reluctance of the Catholic Europe to join War
on Islam with the Jewish led White Anglo Saxon Protestant (WASP) West has ceased. The extreme obsession of
Europeans with morally bankrupt Secular values even more than the US is in conformance with their past hysteria
against Islam and Islamic values. The US society being composed of all immigrants could not unleash the attack on
Islamic faith and values due to weaker moral and historical pretext but Europeans find it much easier to exercise it.
The Hijab Ban in France and adjacent German states are only a slight reflection of what they have in their hearts
against Islamic values. I remember a clip form a documentary on French Muslims aired by BBC ten years ago,
where a French Cultural Minister was shown declaring that Muslims had no right to fast or even pray in France.
Recently the film about abuse of Muslim women directed by a racist Dutch filmmaker Van Gogh called “Submission”
was a blatant attempt to attack Islamic social and cultural values. The script of the film was written by an apostate
member of Dutch Parliament Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The wicked criminal met his fate when a guardian of honor executed
him in broad daylight. Van Gogh had long been active in demonization of Europe's Muslim population and wrote
fierce diatribes against European Muslims.
The Italian writer Oriana Fallaci wrote in his post 9/11 diatribe "The Rage and the Pride" that Muslims were "vile
creatures, who urinate in baptistries" and "multiply like rats." After the book became a bestseller in Italy, she
expanded her anti-Muslim racist rhetoric to include all of Europe, and its attack towards Muslim immigrants:
“Europe is no longer Europe. It is a province of Islam, as Spain and Portugal were at the time of the Moors.
It hosts almost 16 Muslim immigrants and teems with mullahs, imams, mosques, burqas, chadors."
These cultural extremists have helped to create an atmosphere in which far-right and neo-Nazi racist politicians like
Frank Vanhecke and Filip Dewinter (Belgium: Vlaams Blok), Nick Griffin (UK: BNP), Jean Marie Le Pen (France:
National Front), Paulo Portas (Portugal: Popular Party), Jorg Haider (Austria: Freedom Party), Frank Schwert
(Germany: National Democratic Party), Pia Kiaersgaard (Denmark: People's Party), and the late Pim Fortuyn
(Holland: LPF) have surfaced on European political landscape. The jingles of all these parties display a weird
resemblance with "France for the French" (National Front) and "Austria for the Austrians" (Freedom Party) to
"Our Own People First" (Vlaams Blok). Among the parties, the British National Party BNP has one of the oldest
legacies, arguing in the early 1990s, "We have no objection to Muslims having their own places of worship--
provided they are in Muslim countries and not in Britain." In Germany, although "guest workers" began arriving
after World War II to rebuild the nation, for the last forty years they have been denied citizenship due to "bloodline"
laws. A recent bill to overturn this law led to angry rows in parliament, with one politician saying 'dirty Muslims" had
no right to citizenship. These themes were echoed by Pia Kjaersgaard, who warned: "[Muslims] must not be
allowed to integrate into Danish society." Filip Dewinter agreed, saying, "We must stop the Islamic invasion. I
think it's, in fact, impossible to assimilate in our country if you are of Islamic belief." The BNP caused much
outrage in Britain when one of its members said that he wished to bomb all Muslim mosques, the minarets of which
mark the skylines of British cities.
Therefore the Cultural Crusade initiated through derogatory cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
have shattered the bridge of understanding with the West created by the so called moderate and Secular Muslims
just like the Ottoman bridge of Mostar in Bosnia that joined the Christian and Muslim halves was bombed and torn
down by the Croat Army. The Serbs who devastated the innocent White Muslims of Bosnia and Kosovo had strong
motivation for “purifying” the European race culture and land from the “mess” of Muslims. They were further
encouraged by the deliberate inaction by other European nations. The Dutch UN force in control of UN safe area
handed over hundreds of innocent Muslims of Srebanica to Serb army to be mercilessly massacred. When
massacres in Kosovo by Serbs began the only Muslim resistance was Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). In a BBC
program, a US representative made it clear that US was not willing to support KLA in any form for she did not want
to repeat the mistakes of supporting Muslims like when she supported Afghan Mujahideen against Soviets and
earlier Khomainei against Shah of Iran. The US did not want to create another “tiger at the heart of Europe” that
would bite her the next day.
The events regrettably seem to be leading towards another mass victimization similar to that of the Jews in the early
20th century at the hands of Nazi Germany. The Jews have been victimized and persecuted in Europe since Dark
Ages when Islamic Palestine from the time of Caliph Omar, Muslim Spain and later Ottoman Empire had developed
into multicultural and cosmopolitan centers of tolerance where Jews found refuge and respect. But the hard times
for Muslims in Europe have been steered and manipulated by the Jewish intellectuals and media owners. The tide
of hatred that had once targeted Jews is now advancing towards the Muslims. The much debated “Clash of
Civilizations” has already unfolded, earlier on political and ideological fronts and now on social and cultural fronts.
This is clearly a War for Islam along side the War on Islam, as warned by former NATO Allied Commander Wesley
Clark that whether Islam has to assimilate with the Secular values or bear the brunt of its immoral and subjective
“freedom”. The time for Muslims is to strongly protest and boycott the European products alongside preparing to
fight this new Crusade struck at the very heart of our belief and values. The perpetrators of these crimes deserve
execution similar to what Von Gogh met so that everyone comes to know the price of reviling Prophet Mohammad
(Peace Be Upon Him). In the last century a similar incident took place in British India when a Hindu named Rajpal
insulted Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) by printing derogatory cartoon of our Prophet. An ordinary
faithful guardian of the honor came out and punished that devil with death. He was Ghazi Ilmuddin who was later
arrested and charged by British authorities, he pleaded not guilty and gladly accepted the gallows to earn
martyrdom. His holy grave lies in peace to this day in heart of Pakistan, Lahore. Taliban Mujahideen have promised
reward of gold bar for anyone executing the evil cartoonist. Are we waiting for another Nur Ad Din Zangi or Ghazi
Ilmuddin or has our faith become worthless? Only time will tell.

Pim Fortuyn was NOT, I repeat, NOT a "far-right" politician nor a racist. If you are to attack Pim and others in such a manner at least do so not anonymously. As far as either Fortuyn or Van Gogh being "racist", they were hardly such, but were both sick of constant attacks that their families and friends had been subjected to. Van Gogh's interviews in which he spoke candidly about racism openly displayed to both his children and former wife led to his SLAUGHTER as much as his filmmaking.
ReplyDeleteAs for "Submission", this was rather an attempt to shed light on "values" that are destructive to women in the opinion of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who wrote Submission, as well as other female former muslims. Are the death threats aginst Hirsi Ali not more of an incitement than any film could be? Especially the one stabbed into Van Gogh's body?
Stop this cowardly hiding of your identity and face us openly.
Great article in the London Times. It’s actually quite surprising how good it is. It makes the stakes clear as well as the current reality. Thanks Mark!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange that Muslims talk so frequently of their honour, when they always forget that their oponents have honour, too!
ReplyDeleteThis battle is heating up by the day now. One cannot help but wonder whether outright war with the Muhammadans is inevitable. They, our opponents, are so unreasonable. Plus ça change!
Thanks Jason. I'm only too glad that Bld drew the article to my attention.
Things are looking bleak for us all, especially with all these unassimilated people in our midst. Alas, their assimilation is something to which we cannot look forward. Assimilation for them is quite impossible. They have such a superiority complex. Funny that!
Pim's Ghost:
Stop this cowardly hiding of your identity and face us openly.
Here! Here!
Hey, I can't take insults to my Pim like that.
ReplyDeletePim's Ghost:
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't an insult to Pim. You know that! :-)
If this kind of fear can overtake the Netherlands, long renowned for its tolerance, what does the future hold for us?
ReplyDeleteAlways:
ReplyDeleteThat's a damn good question!
