Wilders's Trial and Its Meaning for Us

My blog is dedicated to the message and methods that Geert Wilders advocates. It was clear from when I started to follow his political position against the Muslim incursion in his country, the Netherlands, that he had specific and practical goals in mind. In fact, that is why my graphics include the words:

Putting a stop to the Islamization of the West.

Wilders proclaimed this reaction to Islam more than most writers in Canada and the U.S. dare to. His strategy is clear: identify and reveal what Islam, Jihad and Sharia is all about; find ways to stop this Islamization of his country through a clear immigration policy of stopping Muslims from entering his country; to find ways to remove the more dangerous individuals and groups from within the Islamic community out of the Netherlands so they will not propagate the faith in that Western country rendering it essentially an Islamic one; and to prevent Muslims from practicing Islam in a way that would harm the Western culture in which they live.

As Wilders well knew and said:

The Islamization of our Western culture is a real threat to everything we stand for.

Here is an email I wrote to Bjorn Larsen, who is now the President of the Canadian chapter of the International Free Press Society, reminding him that Wilders's heroism would be in vain if we didn't also follow his examples here.

Hello Bjorn,

I understand there is a rally for Geert Wilders tonight. I believe you will be speaking.

I would have loved to attend, but have a previous engagement.

I am sure there will be more Canadian-related events in the near future.

One of my main points has always been:

Yes, we have terrible events like Wilders's sham trial, the Nigerian Christmas Day bomber, and Westergaard's encounter with a Somali axe-bearer, but:

What are we doing about it?

How are we influencing our various political and media elites?

Of course, the answer is to provide them with clear and succinct plans for:

REMOVING THE OVERWHELMING MUSLIM INFLUENCE IN OUR SOCIETY BY:

- Stopping all immigration of Muslims (from Muslims countries and from the West).

- Repatriating Muslims back to their countries.

Of course, Lawrence Auster has already spelled this out clearly and
fully in various articles.

You can read them all here.

And I have linked to them at my blog Our Changing Landscape.

Thanks again,

This is the same message I relayed to Kathy Shaidle a few weeks ago. I understand she will also be speaking in this rally.

Muslim Threat Needs to Be Viewed Holistically

The Jewish Defence League of Canada is planning a "solidarity rally for Dutch fighter Geert Wilders" on January 20th, since on that day, Wilders will be on trial in Amsterdam for "hate speech" against Muslims.

The event will be at the Toronto Zionist Centre, and will include various speakers, as well as a screening of Fitna.

I think it is great that the JDL is taking up this cause and sponsoring the event. I have noticed a trend though, that the Muslim issue is being taken up primarily as an anti-Semite one by important voices.

Ezra Levant, who has been fighting the Human Rights Commissions for publishing the Mohammed Cartoons, seems to have directed his attention to the anti-Semitic nature of Islam and Muslims. This is of course important and a reality, but not the only one.

Perhaps that is why Levant wasn't able to go a much further with his fight. He started off with denouncing Muslims for curtailing free speech and freedom of expression, but that became insufficient to address all the issues around Muslims and Islam. So I think he's redirecting his focus on the anti-Semitic nature of Islam.

The fight against the Muslims isn't simply one of removing their anti-Semitic actions, nor is it simply an issue of liberties. Culture, religion, society, land, tradition, communities, families, are all affected by this. If Levant had this holistic view of the Muslim problem from the start, then he might have been in line as an effective leader against this threat to society.

We Will Pay Dearly for Having Left Our Spiritual Foundations

This is paraphrasing the Archbishop of Prague, Cardinal Miloslav Vlk. He goes on to say:

Europe has denied its Christian roots from which it has risen and which could give it the strength to fend off the danger that it will be conquered by Muslims, which is actually happening gradually.

At the end of the Middle Ages and in the early modern age, Islam failed to conquer Europe with arms. The Christians beat them then. Today, when the fighting is done with spiritual weapons, which Europe lacks while Muslims are perfectly armed, the fall of Europe is looming.

This is what I've been saying, and the reason for which I put the cross at the top of this blog, to indicate that this not only a military war, but also a spiritual one.

The fundamental strength of the previous generations who fought off Islam has always been spiritual. Without that, I think it is impossible to defeat Islam. These generations defeated the Muslims precisely because of their spiritual, Christian, confidence. Arms and religion do go together.
