German State concern for “A Koran in every home” campaign exposes misguided security concern

victims1

A Muslim preacher in Germany wants to give out 25 million Korans. No big deal, you say? Well - it is a B-I-G deal and the making of a "Koran in every home" campaign of a German Muslim preacher into a "national security threat" was actually quite predictable. The "act of aggression" (as the campaign has been called by members of the Angela Merkel's own party) stems from the growing anti-Muslim bias in Western security and intelligence services that label religious and political activities by Muslims as "radicalization" and elevates innocent and legally protected activities to the level of "national security threat." The problem here is the security and terrorism discourse that continues to define innocent activities by Muslims as "threats." Part of this discourse is to turn crimes committed by Muslims into "terrorism" and now "lone wolf jihad." The response, as discussed in spades here, is treat Muslim communities as "suspect communities" and undermine human rights of European Muslims.

Polish Immigrant Hotline: Geert Wilders and the PVV shame the Netherlands again!

pvv.page

We have sat and watched how Geert Wilders and his PVV “political party” have again embarrassed the Netherlands with a webpage-hotline that is intended to “report bad behavior of Polish immigrants.” This action by the PVV has now angered many in Europe, especially from the East European nations that have citizens living and working in the Netherlands. This is more Fortuyn inspired nonsense and yet another action to drag down the Netherlands and its international standing to the mud. “Nederland is vol” is back and it is hurting the view of the Netherlands in the European Union and as a civilized nation. There is a need to challenge the Dutch nation from the outside, as the Dutch political system and the pro-Wilders Dutch media stand in the way. European nations must care other European nations in the interest of European peace and security. Human rights in European nations are not just for EU citizens and non-Muslims. Most of all, we need to call on the Dutch to return to their once great and admired national character. --- Wij hebben gezeten en keek hoe Geert Wilders en zijn PVV "politieke partij" weer heeft Nederland met een webpagina-hotline die bedoeld is om beschaamd "te rapporteren slechte gedrag van Poolse immigranten." Deze actie van de PVV is nu veel in Europa boos, met name uit de Oost-Europese landen die burgers wonen en werken in Nederland. Dit is meer Fortuyn geïnspireerde onzin en nog een andere actie om te sleuren in Nederland en de internationale reputatie van de modder. "Nederland is vol" terug is en het doet pijn het standpunt van Nederland in de Europese Unie en als een beschaafde natie. Er is een noodzaak om de Nederlandse natie te vechten van buitenaf, zoals de Nederlandse politieke systeem en de pro-Wilders de Nederlandse media in de weg staan​​. Europese landen moeten zorgen andere Europese landen in het belang van de Europese vrede en veiligheid. Mensenrechten in Europese landen zijn niet alleen voor EU-burgers en niet-moslims. De meeste van allemaal, moeten we een beroep doen op de Nederlandse terug te keren naar hun eens grote en bewonderde nationaal karakter.

The origins of Cameron’s troublemaking in the European Union

Europe and the world are "shocked" by the selfishness of the David Cameron's "veto," but this can be understood from the view of being a Thatcherite that is naturally hostile to the European project. There has always been a hate and mistrust of the European project because it is seen as trampling on the US “special relationship.” It's not only selfishness, but playing games that hinder the progress of the European project is also a stock-and-trade of this ilk. This serves to preserve the “special relationship” between mainly the UK and the US by sabotaging the EU whenever possible. The UK will be excluded, which is something that this ilk wants and has longed for. Atlanticism is of greater value than the European project to Thatcher, Cameron and Rutte. Even with the UK out, the second hard-line Atlanticist country is the Netherlands and it has all the tools to play more Thatcherite games without the UK inside of the EU.

Egypte geweld: Waar is de Nederlandse regering?

Er is nieuw geweld in Egypte weer en is veroordeeld door de Europese Unie. Echter, in tegenstelling tot het geweld tegen de koptische christenen, is er een merkbaar stilte uit Den Haag. De Egyptenaren schreeuwen om democratie en een einde van de militaire heerschappij, en in het verleden de Nederlandse zou er zijn geweest voor hun belangenbehartiging. Dit gebrek aan een sterke reactie van de Nederlandse overheid aan de politie-militair geweld geven aan de religieuze achtergrond van de slachtoffers als mogelijk moslims iets te maken heeft met deze stilte. Dit komt op een moment dat er onrust groeit over het gedrag van het Nederlands buitenlands beleid dat is marginaliseren en nutteloos. Ik bied een aantal verklaringen voor, maar wat is triest is dat de Nederlanders een kans om echt iets productief in de wereld ontbreekt.

Germany could be a lesson for other European nations

We have again that problem of Nazis in Germany. The presence of Nazis in Germany says nothing about Germany and leaving behind its Nazi past. Germany, unlike the Netherlands, has laws and policies in place to deal with radicalized Nazi terrorists and must be called to protect its constitutional and democratic order by banning "political parties" that are a threat. Germany has the responsibility to protect minority communities from terrorism and must place this responsibility along side of protecting its constructional order from Nazis and anti-Muslim extremists. Other European nations should start protecting its minority communities from both radical right terrorists and dangerous political parties.

Duitsland kon les voor andere Europese landen worden

We hebben opnieuw dat probleem van de nazi's in Duitsland. De aanwezigheid van nazi's in Duitsland zegt niets over Duitsland en met achterlating van haar nazi-verleden. Duitsland, in tegenstelling tot Nederland, heeft wetten en beleid op zijn plaats om te gaan met geradicaliseerde Nazi-terroristen en moeten worden aangesproken op haar grondwettelijke en democratische orde te beschermen door een verbod op "politieke partijen" die een bedreiging. Duitsland heeft de verantwoordelijkheid om minderheden te beschermen tegen terrorisme en moet deze verantwoordelijkheid plaats langs kant van de bescherming van zijn bouwkundige opdracht van nazi's en anti-moslim extremisten. Andere Europese landen moeten beginnen met het beschermen van de minderheden van zowel rechts-radicale terroristen en gevaarlijke politieke partijen.
