The immigration jihad laying siege to the Gates of Vienna

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

….and the rest of the western world.

On the night before Easter, here is a depressing article by Daniel Greenfield published at Canada Free Press.

Several hundred years ago when the forces of Islam wanted to capture Vienna, they came with the sword and the cannon and laid siege to the city walls. Today they simply take a plane. While Vienna was able to resist repeated sieges, it was not able to resist Islamic immigration, and as a result the city looks a good deal more the way it would have had it fallen to an actual siege. Today as much as a third of Vienna is of foreign origin. And as many as 50 percent of Viennese schoolchildren have a non-German language as their mother tongue.

Immigrants want Sharia law introduced in Austria

Austria itself is projected to have as many as half a million Muslims. This would be catastrophic enough in a country with a smaller population than the state of New Jersey, but it is far more catastrophic considering how much of that population skews youthful. The Muslim birth rate is nearly double that of the Protestant and Catholic birth rates. This results in a demographic shift in which statistics may deceptively peg the Muslim population of a country at only a fraction of its real power and growth potential, thereby blinding the government and the population to the reality of how bad things already are.

The practical implications of this are obvious enough, as they are everywhere else. The majority of Turkish immigrants polled by the Interior Ministry said that they want to see Sharia law introduced in Austria. Those same immigrants also stated by a decisive majority that Islamic laws were more important than Austrian laws, and blamed “democracy” for crime. The Austrian government has predictably tried to treat it as an integration problem, but as the survey shows, Muslims are enthusiastic enough about integration. They just mean to integrate Austrians into an Islamic Republic of Austria, rather than the other way around.

The example of Vienna, where the Islamic conquest of Europe was once halted, is a telling testament to the power of the Immigration Jihad. What the armies of Islam could not do en masse over several centuries, a permissive attitude toward Islamic immigration managed to do in only a few decades. The Gates of Vienna have not only been breached, they have been occupied by the enemy. And now the motto of the Vienna Tourism Bureau urging visitors to come is, “Vienna: Now or Never”.

Somali gangs wrecking havoc in the UK

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

While the Saudis deport their fellow Muslim Somalis, here, the UK has opened its door to them and I predict it will be to their never-ending sorrow.

From The Sun:

A SHOCK new survey this week showed how Britons feel let down by Labour’s immigration record.

According to our YouGov poll, nearly two-thirds of people questioned felt the Government was handling immigration badly (see graphics below).

In 2008, net immigration was 163,000, compared to 48,000 in 1997 when Labour came to power.

An undercover reporter interviewed gang members.

IN crisp spring sunshine, on a bustling north London street and in full view of young mums pushing prams, we are brazenly handed four rocks of class-A drugs by two Somali gangsters.

They banter and joke with our undercover reporter who is posing as a druggie looking for a fix. They are relaxed and cocky in what they consider to be their territory.

In the shadow of the British Library – a magnet for tourists – Somali gangs are plying their trade, selling what they call “Eurodrugs” to the students and holidaymakers who flood off the Eurostar link with the continent at King’s Cross.

The UK may have as many as a quarter of a million Somali immigrants.

Somali gangs are major players in the trade of illegal drugs in Britain’s big cities and have become ruthless money-making outfits, kicking out established gangs by being prepared to resort to the most extreme violence.

They represent another side of immigration – an influx importing the hard mentality of the war zone they left behind and using it to take advantage of our liberal Western society.

To them, Britain’s streets are a soft, ripe-for-the-plucking goldmine of illegal cash.

Official figures show 101,000 Somalis here but the true number is believed to be more like 250,000. Many of them are here illegally.

[…..]

“Gangs here aren’t tough, we’re tough. We run things now, no one can f*** with us.”

As well as the trade in drugs, Somali gangs have carved themselves a niche as hit men, carrying out executions for cash.

I’ll leave you to read the rest.

Meanwhile the excellent blog, Loganswarning, has posted a story about how the UK goverment has through its policies spread Islam throughout the British Isles and it’s not the so-called “moderate” version they thought they were promoting.

The Netherlands: Refugees moving on

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Here is an interesting little bit from Dutch News: 

Some 10% of the asylum seekers granted refugee status in the Netherlands between 1998 and 2008 have moved on to a third country, according to new figures from the national statistics office CBS.

The research covers 38,000 people. Of them, some 4,000 have left the country.

Britain was the most popular destination, attracting one in three refugees. Six out of 10 Somalian refugees went to Britain, as did half of the Afghans.

Yugoslavian and Iraqi refugees are most likely to return home, the CBS figures show.

Jews leaving Malmo Sweden: “a degree of hate none of us have experienced before”

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

We have followed the travails (the decline!) of Malmo, Sweden on these pages as a reminder of what is happening in Europe with its blind reverence to multiculturalism combined with a  large influx of Muslim immigrants and refugees.  It could ultimately happen here.  This is an AP story, hat tip Jerry Gordon:

Marcus Eilenberg is a Swedish Jew whose family roots in Malmo go back to the 19th century. His paternal grandparents were Holocaust survivors who found shelter in this southern Swedish city in 1945. His wife’s parents fled to Sweden from communist Poland in the 1960s.

 
Now the 32-year-old law firm associate feels the welcome for Jews is running out, and he is moving to Israel with his wife and two children in May. He says he knows at least 15 other Jews who are leaving for a similar reason.

That reason, he says, is a rise in hate crimes against Jews in Malmo, and a sense that local authorities have little desire to deal with a problem that has exposed a crack in Sweden’s image as a bastion of tolerance and a haven for distressed ethnic groups.

Anti-Semitic crimes in Sweden have usually been associated with the far right, but Shneur Kesselman, an Orthodox rabbi, says the threat comes from Muslims. “In the past five years I’ve been here, I think you can count on your hand how many incidents there have been from the extreme right,” he said. “In my personal experience it’s 99% Muslims.”

Referring to the Davis Cup anti-Israel demonstrations:

Eilenberg said it was a wake-up call — “a degree of hate that none of us — except those who survived the Holocaust — had experienced before.”

Here is an archive of our previous posts on Malmo.  One of those posts, “Muslim immigration killing Sweden,” remains a top visited post almost every day.

Comment worth noting: the German approach to society

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

We received the following comment from “Whatever” in response to a post from January on a German home-schooling family receiving asylum in the U.S.:

The reason why the Germans are so against home schooling is because they have a different philosophy. Germany is a free country, yet is has gun control. That is not a contradiction, as Germans can move about more freely, knowing their fellow citizens are most likely unarmed. It creates a far less hostile environment and the death toll, in percentage, is lower.

As for the mandatory public school system, its main goal is to ensure that each child is granted its right to access unprejudiced knowledge based on facts, proof, and reason. In other words that what is understood under the term “natural sciences”.

There is also religious freedom in Germany. You may raise your child in any religion you choose, as long as the child’s human rights are not offended. German schools are obligated to teach Religion and the child has the right to choose which course it wishes to participate in, may it be Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, or interested in general ethics or philosophies.

The reason that these parents left for the USA is because they wanted to teach their child solely a creationist world view, which is not based on empirical data. The place for this theory would have been the appointed Religion class, in which arguments could be held and views could be shared. But to withhold scientific evidence and conclusions from a child is considered a violation of human rights, at least to the Germans. Because of this, the Germans have decided that in order to ensure the children’s free access to knowledge, private schooling may only be an addition to publish schooling, but it may never replace it.

I hope this helps understand the German approach.

“Whatever” then apologized for typos, and added:

Sorry for so many postings, but what I forgot to mention was the very important right of children to attend religious schools. But these schools are of course also subject of a curriculum, but the religious schools of course integrate their views into their science teachings, which does cause some unrest. It is very mild though, no real disapproval is common among Germans.

I commented:

Thanks for your comment, Whatever. Coincidentally, I just had the European view of society explained to me by my daughter, who was engaged to a Belgian for a while, or rather an American who grew up in Belgium. He found Americans’ “individualism” very abrasive. And he defined individualism as any outright disagreement. He saw all people as connected, almost one organism, so that they should work things out by gently working toward a consensus. This is a very alien concept to Americans, who like to work things out by firmly stating their views and arguing about them.

There is a fine article in the current Touchstone Magazine (http://www.touchstonemag.com/) showing that we reach spiritual maturity by wrestling with spiritual matters as Jacob wrestled with the angel from God. Without wrestling with issues we do not grow. And applying that to political life, I think this is why Europeans are childlike — they refuse to wrestle with anything, and do not grow up. They have expected the United States to be their parent, protecting them from enemies. This is not possible any more, and they will have to grow up or be destroyed. This is the reason for the huge reaction against Geert Wilders in the Netherlands, putting him on trial for hate speech because he identified Europe’s enemy, radical Islam.

And I add:

My comment is a generalization about Europeans, of course, and does not apply to everybody. The Brits are not really Europeans, and have a great tradition of open disagreement. Watch the C-SPAN broadcast of the House of Commons sometime to see it. The French like to argue, and so do Italians. It is more the northern Europeans who are like this, and with the Muslim influx many citizens are not so happy about not being able to speak up, and having to accommodate everybody.
