And do you
know why Americans enjoy
more freedom than Europeans? Because you are
still allowed to tell the truth.
In Europe and
Canada people are dragged to court for telling
the truth about islam.
I, too, have been dragged to court. I am an
elected member of the house of
representatives in the Netherlands. I am
currently standing in court like a common
criminal for saying that islam is a dangerous
totalitarian ideology rather than a religion.
The court case is still pending, but I risk a
jail sentence of 16 months.
Last week, my friend Lars Hedegaard, a
journalist from Denmark, was fined because in a
private conservation, which was recorded without
his knowing, he had criticised the way women are
treated in islamic societies.
Recently, another friend, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff,
a human rights activist from Austria, was fined
because she had criticised islam’s founder Muhammad.
She had said that Muhammad was a pedophile because
he had married a 6-year old girl and raped her when
she was 9.
Unfortunately, there are many similar cases.
I am
especially happy to be in your midst because here I
can say what I want to say without having to fear
that I will be dragged to court upon leaving this
church.
My
dear American friends,
you cannot imagine how we envy your First Amendment.
The day when America follows the example of Europe
and Canada and introduces so-called “hate speech
crimes” which is only used to punish people who are
critical of islam, that day America will have lost
its freedom.
My
friends, let us hope that this never happens.
Last
week, we celebrated Liberation Day in the
Netherlands. We celebrated the liberation from the
nazi occupation in 1945. Many American soldiers,
including many young Tennesseans, played a decisive
role in the liberation of the Netherlands from nazi
tyranny. We are immensely grateful for that. Young Americans gave
their lives so that the Dutch might be free. I
assure you: The Dutch people will never forget this.
Unfortunately, however, the Europe which your
fathers and grandfathers fought and died for is not
the Europe we are living in today.
I
travel the world to tell people what Europe has
become. I wish I could take you all on a visit to my
country and show you what Europe has become. It has
changed beyond recognition as a result of mass immigration.
And not just any mass immigration,
but mass immigration driven
by the dangerous force of islam.
My
friends, I am sorry. I am here today with an
unpleasant message. I am here with a warning. I am
here with a battle cry: “Wake up, Christians of
Tennessee. Islam is at your gate.”
Do not make the mistake which Europe made. Do not
allow islam to gain a foothold here.
Islam
is dangerous. Islam wants to establish a state on
earth, ruled by Islamic Sharia law. Islam aims for
the submission, whether by persuasion, intimidation
or violence, of all non-Muslims, including
Christians.
The
results can be seen in Europe.
Islam
is an ideology of conquest. It uses two methods to
achieve this goal: the first method is the sword. Do
you know what figures on the flag of the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, a country where Christian churches are
banned and Christians are not even allowed to wear a
tiny crucifix? There is a huge sword on that flag,
just below the islamic creed. The message is clear.
Without the sword islam would not have been able to
spread its creed.
The
second method is immigration.
Islam’s founder Muhammad himself taught his
followers how to conquer throughimmigration when
they moved from Mecca to Medina. This phenomenon of
conquest through immigration is
called al-Hijra. My learned friend Sam Solomon has
written a perfect book about it.
I had
a copy of Sam’s book sent to all the members of the
Dutch Parliament. But most of them are worse than
Saint-Thomas in the Bible. Thomas did not believe
what he had not seen. Most politicians refuse to
believe the things they see before their very eyes.
In
Europe we have been experiencing al-Hijra for over
30 years now. Many of our cities have changed beyond
recognition. “In each one of our cities” wrote the
well-known Italian author Oriana Fallaci shortly
before her death in 2006, “there is a second city, a
state within the state, a government within the
government. A Muslim city, a city ruled by the
Koran.” – end of quote.
How
did the Europeans get into this situation? It is
partly our own fault because we have foolishly
adopted the concept of cultural relativism, which
manifests itself in the ideology of
multiculturalism.
Cultural relativism advocates that all cultures are
equal. However, cultures wither away and die if
people no longer believe that its values are better
than those of another culture.
Islam is spreading like wildfire wherever people
lack the guts to say that their values are better
than the Islamic values.
Islam
is spreading like wildfire because the Koran
explicitly tells Muslims that they are “the best of
peoples ever raised up for mankind” and that
non-Muslims are “the worst of creatures.”
Islam
is spreading like wildfire everywhere in the West
where political, academic, cultural and media elites
lack the guts to proudly proclaim, as I believe we
all should proclaim:
Our
Judeo-Christian Western culture is far better and
far superior to
the islamic culture. We must be proud to say so!
Multiculturalism is a disaster. Almost everyone
acknowledges this today, but few dare say why. Let
me tell you why: Multiculturalism made us tolerate
the intolerant, and now intolerance is annihilating
tolerance.
We
should, in the name of tolerance, claim the right
not to tolerate the intolerant. Let us no longer be
afraid and politically correct, let us be brave and
bold. Let us tell the truth about islam.
Before I continue I want to make clear that I do not
have a problem with people. I always make a
distinction between the people and the ideology,
between Muslims and islam.
Indeed, I have no problems with Muslims, but I do
have a problem with the totalitarian Islamic
ideology of hate and violence. The fact that there
are many so-called moderate Muslims, does not imply
that there exists a moderate islam. A moderate islam
does not exist and will never exist.
And
because there is no such thing as a moderate islam,
the islamization of our free Western societies is an
enormous danger.
Only
two weeks ago, the British press revealed how the
so-called “London Taliban” is threatening to kill
women who do not wear veils in the London borough of
Tower Hamlets.
In
some neighbourhoods Islamic regulations are already
being enforced, also on non-Muslims. Women’s rights
are being trampled. We are confronted with
headscarves and burqa’s, polygamy, female genital
mutilation, honor-killings where men murder their
wives, daughters or sisters because they do not
behave in accordance with Islamic rules.
Polls show that the influence of those Muslims who
live according to islam’s aggressive requirements is
growing, especially among young people.
Among
15-year-old German Muslims, 40 percent consider
islam more important than democracy.
Among
Muslim university students
in Britain, 40 percent support sharia.
One in three of those students considers it
legitimate to kill in the name of islam.
Christians are asked to follow the example of Jesus.
Muslims are ordered to follow the example of
Muhammad. That is why islam is dangerous. While
Christianity preaches love, islam preached hatred
and practices violence. Hatred and violence for
everyone who is not a Muslim.
Muhammad personally participated in the ethnic cleansing of
Medina, where half the population once was Jewish.
Muhammadhelped to
chop off their heads. On his deathbed, he ordered
his followers to cleanse Arabia of all Jews and
Christians.
To this very day, Christian symbols are prohibited
in Saudi-Arabia. If you wear a cross in Saudi
Arabia, they sent you to jail.
And
now, Europe is beginning to look like Arabia.
Just
today, a poll revealed that in Brussels, the capital
of the European Union, half the islamic youths are
anti-semitic. It is dangerous for Jews to walk the
streets in Brussels.
If you wear a cross or a kippah in certain urban
areas in Europe today, you risk being beaten up. In
the capital of my own country, Amsterdam, a tram
driver was forced to remove his crucifix from sight,
while his Muslim colleagues are allowed to wear the
veil.
In June 2008, the Christian church authorities in
the Danish town of Arhus decided to pay so-called
“protection money” to islamic so-called “security
guards” who assure that church goers are not
harassed by islamic youths.
On
March 31st, 2010, Muslims entered the Roman Catholic
cathedral of Cordoba, Spain, and attacked the guards
with knives. They claimed the cathedral was theirs.
Last
month, the bishops of Sweden sent out a letter to
priests advising them to avoid converting asylum
seekers from islamic countries to Christianity,
because the converts would risk losing their lives.
In
the Netherlands, the city authorities in Amsterdam
register polygamous marriages. The authorities in
Rotterdam serve only halal meals in municipal
cafeterias. Theaters provide separate seats for
women who are not allowed to sit next to men.
Municipal swimming pools have separate swimming
hours for men and women, Muslim lawyers do not have
to stand when the judges enter court rooms.
Meanwhile Jews are no longer safe on our streets. In
Amsterdam, the city of Anne Frank, Jews are again
being harassed in the streets. Even political
leaders acknowledged that life has become unsafe for
Jews in Holland. Do you know what they said? They
advised Jews to emigrate. Jews are already running
for Israel. But I say: Jews must not leave, violent
Muslims must leave!
What
is needed, my friends, is a spirit of resistance.
I
repeat: What we need is a spirit of resistance.
Why?
Because resistance to evil is our moral duty. This
resistance begins with expressing our solidarity to
Christians, Jews, indeed, to all people worldwide,
who are the victims of islam. There are millions of
them.
We
can see what islam has in store for us if we watch
the fate of the Christians in the islamic world,
such as the Copts in Egypt, the Maronites in
Lebanon, the Assyrians in Iraq, and Christians
elsewhere.
Almost every day, churches are arsoned and
Christians are assassinated in islamic countries.
In a
report on the persecution of Christians in the
world, Archbishop Twal of Jerusalem, wrote recently–
I quote: “In the Middle East to be Christian means
accepting that you must make a great sacrifice. All
too often and in many places, Christians suffer
various threats. On some occasions, their homes and
churches are burnt, and people are killed. How many
atrocities must we endure before somebody somewhere
comes to our aid?” – end of quote.
Indeed, how many atrocities before we come to their
aid?
Rivers of tears are flowing from the Middle East,
where there is only one safe haven for Christians.
You know where that is. The only place in the Middle
East where Christians are safe is Israel.
That
is why Israel deserves our support. Israel is a safe
haven for everyone, whatever their belief and
opinions. Israel is a beacon of light in a region of
total darkness. Israel is fighting our fight.
The
jihad against Israel is a jihad against all of us.
If Israel falls, we, too, will feel the
consequences. If Jerusalem falls, Athens, Rome,
Amsterdam and Nashville will fall. Therefore, we all
are Israel. We should always support Israel!
Today, we are confronted with political unrest in
the Arab countries. The Arab peoples long for
freedom. However, the ideology and culture of islam
is so deeply entrenched in these countries that real
freedom is simply impossible as long as islam
remains dominant.
A recent poll in post-revolution Egypt found that 85
percent of Egyptians are convinced that islam’s
influence on politics is good, 82 percent believe
that adulterers should be stoned, 84 percent want
the death penalty for apostates. The press refers to
the events in the Arab world today as the Arab
spring. I call it the Arab winter.
Islam
and freedom, islam and democracy are not compatible.
The
death of Osama bin Laden last week was a victory for
the free world, but we will be confronted with
Islamic terrorism as long as islam exists, because
islam’s founder Muhammad himself was a terrorist,
worse than Bin Laden.
And
here is another truth: The rise of islam means the
rise of sharia law in our judicial systems. In
Europe we already have sharia wills, sharia schools,
sharia banks. Britain even has sharia courts.
In my
own country, the Netherlands, sharia is being
applied by the courts in cases relating to divorce,
child custody, inheritance, and property ownership.
Women are always the victims of this because sharia
discriminates women.
This
is a disgrace. This is not the way we should treat
women.
My
friends, I told you that we have just remembered
Liberation Day to commemorate the young Americans
and all the heroes who offered their lives to free
the Netherlands from nazi tyranny. It would be an
insult to them if we Europeans would give up that
precious freedom for another totalitarian ideology
called Islam.
That
is the goal for which my party and I work day after
day. And we are having success.
In the Netherlands, we are successfully starting to
roll back islam. The current Dutch government is a
minority government which can only survive with the
backing of my party, the Party for Freedom.
We
have 24 seats of the 150 seats in parliament and we
support the government, in return for measures to
prohibit certain aspects of sharia law.
We
have achieved that the Netherlands will soon ban the
burka and the niqaab.
We
will also restrict immigration from non-Western
countries by up to 50% in the next four years. We
are not going to allow islam to steal our country
from us. It was the land of our fathers, it is our
land now, our values are based on Christianity,
Judaism and Humanism and we will pass this on to our
children with all the freedoms that the previous
generations have fought for.
Let
those who want to rob us from our freedoms, stay in
their own countries. We do not need them. If you
want to wear a burqa, stay in Saudi-Arabia. If you
want four wives, stay in Iran. If you want to live
in a country where the islamic ideology is dominant,
stay in Pakistan, if you don’t want to assimilate in
our society, stay in Somalia. But don’t come over
here.
We
are also going to strip criminals who have a double
nationality – for instance Dutch and Moroccan, and
who repeatedly commit serious crimes, of their Dutch
nationality. We will send them packing, back to
their homeland.
My
friends, what the Party for Freedom has achieved,
shows that it can be done. We can fight the
islamization of our societies.
Dear
friends, here is my warning. Make no mistake: Islam
is also coming for America. In fact, it is already
here. America is facing a stealth jihad, the islamic
attempt to introduce sharia law bit by bit. Last
March, a judge in Tampa, Florida, ruled that a
lawsuit against a mosque and involving the control
of 2.4 million dollars, should proceed under Islamic
law.
My
friends, be aware that this is only the beginning.
This is also how it started in Europe. If things
continue like this, you will soon have the same
problems as we are currently facing.
Leaders who talk about immigration without
mentioning islam are blind. They ignore the most
important problem Europe and America are facing. I
have a message for them: it’s islam stupid!
My
friends, fortunately, not all politicians are
irresponsible. Here, in Tennessee, brave politicians
want to pass legislation which gives the state the
power to declare organisations as terrorist groups
and allowing material supporters of terrorism to be
prosecuted. I applaud them for that. They are true
heroes.
Yesterday and today, I met some of those brave
legislators. They told me that Tennessee in
particular is a target of islam. Help them win their
battle.
They
need your support.
While
Tennessee is in the frontline, similar legislative
initiatives are also being taken in the states of
Oklahoma, Wyoming, South Carolina, Texas, Florida,
Missouri, Arizona, Indiana. It is encouraging to see
that so many politicians are willing to resist islam.
This
gives us hope and courage. I am not a pessimist. We
can still turn the tide – even in Europe – if we act
today.
There
are five things which we must do.
First, we must defend freedom of speech.
Freedom is the source of human creativity and
development. People and nations wither away without
the freedom to question what is presented to them as
the truth. Without freedom of speech we risk
becoming slaves. Frederick Douglass, the 19th
century black American politician, the son of a
slave, said – I quote – “To suppress free speech is
a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer
as well as those of the speaker.”
I
have already told you about my court case. This
legal charade will not, however, prevent me from
saying the truth. Never. I will speak out, even if
they drag me before 500 courts and threaten to jail
me for a thousand years.
The
fact that we are being treated as criminals for
telling the truth must not deter us. We are doomed
if we remain silent or let ourselves be silenced.
Let us not forget, this is our first and most
important obligation: defend the right to speak the
truth.
Second, we must end cultural relativism and
political correctness. We must repeat it over and
over again, especially to our children: Our Western
culture based on Christianity and Judaism is
superior to the islamic culture. Our laws are
superior to sharia. Our judeo-christian values are
better than islam’s totalitarian rules.
And
because they are superior and better, we must defend
them. We must fight for our own identity, or else we
will lose it. We need to be warriors for the good,
because the good is worth fighting for. Neutrality
in the face of evil is evil.
Third, we must stop the islamization of our
countries. More islam means less freedom. There is
enough islam in the West already. We must stop
immigration from non-Western countries, which are
mostly islamic countries. We must expel criminal
immigrants. We must forbid the construction of new
hate palaces called mosques.
We
must also close down all islamic schools because
educating children in a spirit of hate is one of the
worst things imaginable. We must introduce anti-sharia
legislation everywhere in the free world. Enough is
enough.
Fourth, we must take pride in our nations again. We
must cherish and preserve the culture and identity
of our country. Preserving our own culture and
identity is the best antidote against islamization.
And
fifth, last but certainly not least, we must elect
wise and courageous leaders who are brave enough to
address the problems which are facing us, including
the threat of Islam. Politicians
who have the courage to speak the truth about Islam.
Politicians who dare to denounce the devastating
results of the multicultural society. Politicians
who – without political correctness – say: enough is
enough.
You
and I, Americans and Europeans, we belong to a
common Western culture. We share the ideas and
ideals of our common Judeo-Christian heritage. In
order to pass this heritage on to our children and
grandchildren, we must stand together, side by side,
in our struggle against Islamic barbarism.
That,
my friends, is why I am here. I am here to forge an
alliance. Our international freedom alliance. We
must stand together for the Judeo-Christian West.
We will
not allow Islam to overrun Israel and Europe, the
cradle of the Judeo-Christian civilization.
My
friends, we will stand together. We will stand firm.
We will not submit. Never. Not in Israel, not in
Europe, not in America. Nowhere. We will
survive. We will stop Islam. We will defend
our freedoms. We will remain free.
Thank
you.
