The music you hear, Gotterdammerung, is part of an opera by Richard Wagner.
The word Gotterdammerung means;
A turbulent ending of a regime or an institution: "The nation had been flirting with forms of götterdämmerung, with extremes of vocabulary and behavior and an appetite for violent resolution".
I'd like to hear everyone's comments on this video.

100% emotional manipulation and virtually no coherent content.
Its promising start -- Islamists with signs threatening violence against freedom -- is quickly swallowed up in a hash of imagery representing European Civilization. What looks like Chinese riots is followed by Swiss chalets and mountains and various other scenic views (off postcards, for godssake!), works of art, assorted royalty (tell me I didn't see a Tsar in there), churches, contrasted shots of disreputable-looking illegal aliens and banners being held by organizations protesting same. There are token references to "tolerance" and "generosity" but the latter is illustrated with a chart quantifying public largess and the former with a Norman Rockwell painting. Nowhere is there anything but fleeting reference to the freedoms being threatened specifically by the Muslim aliens. Where is the Magna Carta? The long, hard-fought battle to codify human rights in law? The revolutions to replace monarchies with representative governments? The resistance to tyranies like the Nazis (probably figured that wouldn't mix well with Wagner)? They show us works by Vermeer and Michelangelo without showing what would happen to the David should Sharia law come to rule Italy.
It's like trying to illustrate what will be lost of America goes down by flashing pictures of George Washington, Stephen Foster, Teddy Roosevelt, George Gershwin, Kansas cornfields, the Rocky Mountains and Mom's apple pie, all to the tune of "My Old Kentucky Home", while leaving out the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Civil War to free the slaves, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, all peaceful religions worshipping freely, the Normandy beaches on D-Day. Yes, it's sad to think of European Civilization being replaced with mosques and burkas, but show us why that will be a tragedy: the Sharia law courts, the ranting mullahs, the floggings and stonings and hangings and mutilations, the forced marriages and "honor" killings, the stifling and destruction of anything that is non-Islamic.
And leave Wagner the hell out of it. The music is beautiful but there are connotations that should have no place here.
OK, Pastorius, who dunnit?
Pastorius,
Every time it seems it can't get any worse, it goes to another level.
Amazing!
And like the previous post on IBA, the Wall Street fiasco is the perfect opportunity for radical Islam to release its "sleeper cells" in all their forms and take down the US and the West.
The fight by the masses has still not started. I think it will come but the question is whether it will be too late.
I am still amazed at the willing ignorance of the people around me.
And with Obama looking like he will win, the hole will get exponentially deeper.
I am dumbfounded by where things were when the Mo cartoons came out and how far the west has retreated and continues to retreat at an exponential pace.
But I am not discouraged.
The troops that know what is going on are now keenly aware of what is in store.
The only difference is instead of fighting from a position of strength, we will have to fight from a position of weakness.
One must not focus on the ultimate outcome, but focus on the effort.
As a wise man once said to me, the winning will take care of itself!!

JMJ,
Good to hear from you.
RRA,
I don't remember who did it?
However, I will say this, I'm not going to express my opinion until sometime tomorrow. I definitely have an opinion here.
But first, I want to see what others think.
Regardless of the content of the video we all know that the message is true. We also know that the average governments of the EU countries will do nothing.
It's all very well for the Americans to criticise the Europeans who support rightwing movements but it's our heads at risk. Only politicians of the right will actually take measures to halt the relentless march of Islam in Europe.
How far to the right is another matter. The UK Conservatives are saying some of the right things.
In my view, second to the economy, the rise of Islam is a major concern for the British voter. They don't outwardly express their concerns but will do so when encouraged.
Better Right than a dhimmi dummy.
Ray,
You make two good points there.
Oh, the message is true all right. There is no argument there. But in this film the only indication of the real reason Europe is being lost is a few shots of demonstrators with signs. For the rest it looks like it's because there's a lot of oddly-colored people moving in.
Britain deserves a better defense than this. Not only the defense of what makes the country home to its people, but what has made it a great country and will be lost, even its memory wiped out, if the Islamists have their way. Rise up, fight back the way the British people did against the Nazis, because it's the same fight when you come down to it. Throw out the politicians who refuse to see this or, worse, want to help it along.
