AN AMERICAN CONCERN
Fox News and CNN’s Lou Dobbs worry about terrorists stealing across the United States’ border with Mexico concealed among illegal immigrants. The Pentagon wages war in the Middle East to stop terrorist attacks on the United States. But the growing nightmare of officials at the Department of Homeland Security is passport-carrying, visa-exempt mujahideen coming from the United States’ western European allies.
Jihadist networks span Europe from Poland to Portugal, thanks to the spread of radical Islam among the descendants of guest workers once recruited to shore up Europe’s postwar economic miracle. In smoky coffeehouses in Rotterdam and Copenhagen, makeshift prayer halls in Hamburg and Brussels, Islamic bookstalls in Birmingham and “Londonistan,” and the prisons of Madrid, Milan, and Marseilles, immigrants or their descendants are volunteering for jihad against the West. It was a Dutch Muslim of Moroccan descent, born and socialized in Europe, who murdered the filmmaker Theo van Gogh in Amsterdam last November (2004). A Nixon Center study of 373 mujahideen in Western Europe and North America between 1993 and 2004 found more than twice as many Frenchmen as Saudis and more Britons than Sudanese, Yemenites, Emiratis, Lebanese, or Libyans. Fully a quarter of the jihadists it listed were western European nationals — eligible to travel visa-free to the United States.
The emergence of homegrown mujahideen in Europe threatens the United States as well as Europe. Yet it was the dog that never barked at last winter’s Euro-American rapprochement meeting.
Neither President George W. Bush nor Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice drew attention to this mutual peril, even though it should focus minds and could buttress solidarity in the West.
YOUR LAND IS MY LAND
The mass immigration of Muslims to Europe was an unintended consequence of post-World War II guest-worker programs. Backed by friendly politicians and sympathetic judges, foreign workers, who were supposed to stay temporarily, benefited from family reunification programs and became permanent. Successive waves of immigrants formed a sea of descendants. Today, Muslims constitute the majority of immigrants in most western European countries, including Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, and the largest single component of the immigrant population in the United Kingdom. Exact numbers are hard to come by because Western censuses rarely ask respondents about their faith. But it is estimated that between 15 and 20 million Muslims now call Europe home and make up four to five percent of its total population. (Muslims in the United States probably do not exceed 3 million, accounting for less than two percent of the total population.) France has the largest proportion of Muslims (seven to ten percent of its total population), followed by the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Italy. Given continued immigration and high Muslim fertility rates, the National Intelligence Council projects that Europe’s Muslim population will double by 2025.
Unlike their U.S. counterparts, who entered a gigantic country built on immigration, most Muslim newcomers to western Europe started arriving only after World War II, crowding into small, culturally homogenous nations. Their influx was a new phenomenon for many host states and often unwelcome. Meanwhile, North African immigrants retained powerful attachments to their native cultures. So unlike American Muslims, who are geographically diffuse, ethnically fragmented, and generally well off, Europe’s Muslims gather in bleak enclaves with their compatriots: Algerians in France, Moroccans in Spain, Turks in Germany, and Pakistanis in the United Kingdom.
The footprint of Muslim immigrants in Europe is already more visible than that of the Hispanic population in the United States. Unlike the jumble of nationalities that make up the American Latino community, the Muslims of Western Europe are likely to be distinct, cohesive, and bitter. In Europe, host countries that never learned to integrate newcomers collide with immigrants exceptionally retentive of their ways, producing a variant of what the French scholar Olivier Roy calls “globalized Islam”: militant Islamic resentment at Western dominance, anti-imperialism exalted by revivalism.
As the French academic Gilles Kepel acknowledges, “neither the blood spilled by Muslims from North Africa fighting in French uniforms during both world wars nor the sweat of migrant laborers, living under deplorable living conditions, who rebuilt France (and Europe) for a pittance after 1945, has made their children … full fellow citizens.” Small wonder, then, that a radical leader of the Union of Islamic Organizations of France, a group associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, curses his new homeland: “Oh sweet France! Are you astonished that so many of your children commune in a stinging naal bou la France [fuck France], and damn your Fathers?”

The Standard-Correction:
Number of foreigners or of Muslims mentioned above have to be multiplied by (from 1,75 to 2 ,00) as the naturalized for almost two generations and their children have to be included.
Complement:
The 9/11 Al-Qaeda plotters that apart from the Saudi “muscle” all “became born-again Muslims in Europe after living “normal” lives in their countries of origin. The mosques of Hamburg (Al Qods), London (Finsbury Park), Marseilles and even Montreal played a far bigger role than any Saudi madrassa in the process of their Islamic radicalization.”

“…The war between the Islamic north and Christian south Sudan has old roots, stemming back to the 1950s when the country, separated at the time was made one by the western world after World War II. Shortly the country of Sudan was emancipated from England. A war between the two religious factions broke out in 1983, with the Islamic north invading the southern Christians. This is considered the time by which the current struggle is measured. From 1983, it is estimated that at least two million people have been killed in this genocide, mostly Christians, for sure civilians. Early on in this conflict, two professors at the University of Khartoum; Ushari Ahmad Mahmud and Suleyman Ali Baldo learned about the genocide and enslavement being practiced on the Dinka people and had investigated it. What they found was that raiders from the north were killing the men and had taken women and children and into slavery for over two years. They wrote their report in 1987. It was widely circulated and was denied by the Sudanese government. The UN assimilated the report and then discounted it as hearsay. These two humane professors were incarcerated by their government and then were discredited throughout the world. The civilized world would not and could not hear…”
Now you read almost everywhere that the conflicht started in 2003.
As a minor but hopefully enlightening parallel to this: “There was no confirmed homocide on Armenians 1915-1918″

The View from Alexandria : “In advanced civilizations the period loosely called Alexandrian is usually associated with flexible morals, perfunctory religion, populist standards and cosmopolitan tastes, feminism, exotic cults, and the rapid turnover of high and low fads—in short, a falling away (which is all that decadence means) from the strictness of traditional rules, embodied in character and inforced from within. — Jacques Barzun
…gets you an arrest warrant in the United Kingdom, home of the Magna Carta, and gets you fired from the Pentagon—while both are at war with it! Can you imagine, in the midst of World War II, the Churchill government putting out arrest warrants for anyone who spoke out against Nazism, and the Roosevelt War Department firing people who were critical of Hitler? I can’t either. And I don’t think it would have improved the Allies’ chances of victory.”

“Well, it’s wildly popular elsewhere in the Mideast and the Islamic world… so why not in Turkey too? Blogger Homocon notes that:
“Booksellers in Turkey are reporting soaring sales figures for “Mein Kampf,” or “Kavgam” in Turkish. Hitler’s political manifesto has been a top 10 bestseller in the past two months…and at least two new Turkish language versions of “Mein Kampf” are now out in paperback.
Asked to comment on the phenomenon, government spokesman Cemil Cicek said: “There is no racism in this country.” Homocon has more about Turkey’s new bestseller…”

“Clerks in Turkish bookstores now have an unusual problem: In Turkey as in the rest of the world, best-sellers are usually put in the front window for passersby to see, but this time they are somewhat hesitant. Copies of the new edition of Hitler’s Mein Kampf are being snatched off the shelves, and now the question is whether anti-Semitism is on the rise in Turkey or people are just curious …”
President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinehad recently used the following expression about the American currency dollar at the meeting with the oil producers in Saudi Arabia: “A worthless piece of paper”.
The American dollar has since the last global war (WW2) been substantial overestimated, because USA made an agreement with Saudi Arabia on oil extraction and on foreign and security policy on way home from the Jalta Conference 4-11 February 1945.
It developed further on and petro dollar kept its rate of exchange at a level higher than corresponding to USA’s ability to compete. The dollar was simply kept up, because an enormous amount of monetary units from the oil trade remained abroad and did not returned to USA to demand goods. Dollars was demanded everywhere after WW2.
This phenomenon has the American government aimed to reverse to get closer to its ability to compete in a globalizing world since 2000. In addition Iran was one of the first oil countries that replaced its oil trade to the European compulsory Euro in the Euro-Zone.
A lot of rumours are told - also in Denmark. On the anti-war front it is often reported that USA
is close to bankruptcy. Let me express it in this way: This rumour does distinctly not build on any insight at all. The war expenditures - that is mentioned in this connection - are mostly financed by government bonds. A substantial amount of those has been sold to among others China. This is a kind of safety net, ‘where the believers had hoped they had found a dead dog burried’. It’s just about the time to remember ‘Funny Ali’.
The war of interest-rates that actually has been fought across the Atlantic - as usual I am tempted to remark - has among other things the effect that EU with a strong oil trading currency has severe difficulties with getting the real economy of EU going toward a popular succes. They chose what we have called New-Merkantilism instead of making order on the home front. ‘Naturally it is quite different in Demark, as you might imagine or perhaps heard’. Anyhow we have explained earlier why the Euro is not a protection against international competition, and why the currency rate and speculation do not secure any dynamic capital creation that is the precondition for every responsible society in development, rather on the contrary.
That a new alliance between the Arabic countries and EU - the Mediterranean Process - is emerging might be overlooked by a few ‘weak-sighted’, even though the efforts has been held semi-secrete by the chosen ones and the European Elite. That is perhaps the reason why Iran uses this rhetoric. In addition there is still a lot of sanctions intact against Iran, and a continuing international claim of an effective control with its atomic program.

A few have asked what we stand for
As anti-puppets or perhaps dissidents in a most threatened Europe, here it is:
My aim is to inform facts. I don’t deliver anything I believe in or that I just think of as interesting. Hope you notice my documentation and my objective argumentation. As I see it the immigration-project concerning the establishment of a New Mercantile European state based on oil-trade and immigration to Europe to replace the nations is the most servere problem to warn of. My nation Denmark is about 1000 years old, and I don’t accept that one or two generations shall succed with dissolving it for their own private purpose or any ideological brain-spin .
Those were the words you could have found it by looking a bit for it.
I will add: arrogant ignorance we cannot bear
“Islamic terrorism in Europe
Islamic terrorism in Europe
Nov 11th 2004
From The Economist print edition
“THE jihad has come to the Netherlands.” That was the verdict of Jozias van Aartsen, parliamentary leader of the power-sharing Liberals (VVD), after the violence following last week’s murder in Amsterdam of Theo van Gogh, a film-maker, by a Muslim radical. Attacks on mosques and Muslim schools were met by retaliatory attacks on churches. A raid on a terrorist cell in The Hague turned into a street battle featuring hand grenades and wounded policemen, before two suspects were arrested.
This sorry tale raises a big issue not just in the Netherlands, but across Europe: how far should liberal societies tolerate the intolerant? For 20 years the instinct of many has been to defend the rights and cultures of growing numbers of Muslim immigrants, even radicals. Any other approach, it was feared, would pander to racists. But both multiculturalism and tolerance are now under broad attack. …”

PS:
Burning cars all over Amsterdam for at least 6 days, we wrote 22 October this year
Amsterdam er overtaget skrev vi den 22. oktober (in Danish)
We did not write much more than we translated here.
Did you follow the TV-reports on the Amsterdam fires. In Europe there were none.

The West Cannot Forge an Alliance With Islam
Priyadarsi Dutta: “…Multiculturalism, Arab Nationalism, Indian Nationalism, Secularism, Communism, nothing has been able to contain the adherents of Islam in peace. It is like sleeping with the enemy; and West has already slept enough over the problem. Mr. Khatami said Islam doesn’t sanction terrorism; Mr. Erdogan said Islam speaks of love. Only two kinds of people will believe it. First, those have not experienced Islam (although television and mass-media acts as substitute to first hand experience) and Second, those who have not studied Islam…”
