ISTANBUL -- A European court on Tuesday ordered Turkey to remove the religious affiliation section from citizens' identification cards, calling the practice a violation of human rights.
Who Are the Real Infidels?
Right Side News 8 February 2010
By Sultan Knish
Infidel - from the latin infidelis. Fidelis, Faithful, Loyal, True. Infidelis, Unfaithful, Disloyal, Untrue ...
Major Nidal Malik Hasan may have indulged himself in tirades against the "infidels", yet in fact Hasan himself was the perfect embodiment of the infidel, the unfaithful and the disloyal.
Sexual abuse widespread among Muslims
HRS 5 February 2010
By Nicolai Sennels
Here we will dive into a dark and closed universe; a universe where women are forced to commit to lifelong sexual relationships with close family members, where abuse of women is seemingly extremely widespread, where girls and women are forced to hide their female beauty behind veils, long unflattering coats, burkas etc., where men are free to rape women, because women are often automatically seen as the ones at fault.
Support! Geert Wilders launches a Website
Wilders on trial 5 February 2010
Wednesday February 3rd 2010 Dutch politician Geert Wilders launches two websites on the political trial against him and the freedom:
In January 2009 the Court of Appeal in Amsterdam ruled that the Public Prosecutor had to prosecute Geert Wilders on the basis of his political beliefs. This trial is in fact a political trial. What has already happened in non-democratic countries is now also taking place in the Netherlands, in the heart of Europe. Yet this is not merely a lawsuit against Geert Wilders, it is also a lawsuit against freedom of speech, democracy and the truth.
How Do You Say "Kangaroo Court” in Dutch?

Geert Wilders launches websites on political trial
Behold (courtesy Tundra Tabloids) the very image of Dutch "justice.” After today’s "judicial” proceedings in Amsterdam, Holland itself is forever besmirched, its "judges” having made it clear that no semblance of fairness will enter into their proceeeding against Geert Wilders. As noted below, the "judges” slashed the roster of witnesses the Wilders defense team planned to call to the stand from eighteen to three.
Islamic Nazis
FrontPage Magazine 4 February 2010
By Robert Spencer
No one told the Islamic Nazis that they lost World War II. The former prime minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, recently asserted that Jews in Europe had "always been a problem.”
He claimed that "they had to be confined to ghettos and periodically massacred. But still they remained, they thrived…held whole governments to ransom. Even after their massacre by the Nazis…they survived to continue to be a source of even greater problems for the world.”
Jihad and Genocidal Islamic Anti-Semitism in Shi’ite Iran
PajamasMedia 4 February 2010
By Andrew G. Bostom
On January 29, 2010, U.S. National Security Adviser James Jones alluded to a "heightened risk” that Iran will react to increasing pressure over its nuclear program by orchestrating violence against Israel through its jihadist proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.
Eighteen months ago, during July 2008, professors Moshe Sharon 1 and Benny Morris 2 both opined solemnly about an inevitable Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. These two respected Israeli academicians, despite holding very disparate political views, also concurred on the moral justification for such preemptive action: the genocidal threat to Israel posed by a Shi’ite Iranian regime gripped with an apocalyptic, Jew-hating fervor.
Geert Wilders vs. The Multicultural Inquisit
Brussels Journal 3 February 2010
By Fjordman
Some observers have compared the ongoing trial against the prominent Dutch Islam-critic Geert Wilders in the Netherlands to the case against Galileo Galilei in seventeenth century Italy.
There is no question that the trial against Galileo represents a dark chapter in the history of the Roman Catholic Church, but there are some popular misconceptions regarding it.
The Twelfth Viking: Holger the Dane
Gates of Vienna 3 February 2010
By Baron Bodissey
At the Battle of Poitiers in 732, the Frankish king Charles Martel defeated the Saracens and pushed the forces of Islam back into the Iberian Peninsula.
It was not until 1492 that the Moors were finally thrown out of Europe, but in the meantime the Islamic virus was contained in Spain and Portugal, and thus kept out of the heart of Western Europe.
One of Charles Martel’s comrades-in-arms at Poitiers was a warrior of the North known as Ogier le Danois, later Holger Danske, or Holger the Dane. Although Holger was a historical figure, little is known of him, and most of the written material about him is drawn from legend.
Iranian Antisemitism: Stepchild of German National Socialism
Matthiaskuentzel.de 3 February 2010
By Matthias Küntzel
Many Iranians – including those in exile – claim that currently there is not any antisemitism in Iran. They point to the fact that the Jews of Iran today constitute the largest Jewish community in any Muslim country, which is true, and that even Mahmoud Ahmadinejad does not attack "the Jews,” but rather "the Zionists.”
Why We Must Consistently Reject Supremacist Hate
Pakistan Christian Post 3 February 2010
By Jeffery Imm
Many years ago as a small boy on vacation with my parents I saw a sign in Virginia Beach that I couldn't understand. So I asked my parents what it meant. It was a sign in front of a hotel that read "white clientele only." I didn't get it. Why would a business turn away others simply because of their race?
Austria: Freedom of Expression, Farewell
Gates of Vienna 02 February 2010
A few days ago our Austrian correspondent AMT wrote about the erosion of free speech in Austria, and quoted the diarist Andreas Unterberger in reference to the EU Framework Decision and the Austrian government’s proposed new law, which “will mimic China’s approach to freedom of speech.”
Fearing for Freedom in a Post-Christian Europe
Islamist Watch Blog 2 February 2010
By David J. Rusin
Sometimes it seems that European Christian leaders are more concerned with preparing their flocks for dhimmitude than with defending their faith and the civilization built around it. Among other infamies, prominent clerics have maintained that the acceptance of Shari'a law is "unavoidable," urged believers to refer to God as "Allah," suggested that Lent be rebranded as "Christian Ramadan," and insisted that Catholic schools incorporate Muslim prayer rooms.
How Islam breathed new life into slavery and the slave trade in Europe
Jihad Watch 2 February 2010
By John J. O'Neil
How Islam breathed new life into slavery and the slave trade in Europe. In my newly-published book, Holy Warriors: Islam and the Demise of Classical Civilization, I argue at length that a great majority of the things commonly regarded as "Medieval" were in fact introduced to Europe from Islam, and that it was Islam, and not the Huns, Vandals and Goths, which terminated Classical Civilization, the rational and humane civilization of Greece and Rome. This civilization survived in Europe and in North Africa and the Near East until the seventh century, at which point it was terminated by the Muslim conquests.
Condemning Geert Wilders
Gates of Vienna 2 February 2010
By Baron Bodissey
We’ve posted a couple of recent articles on the pre-cooked report by the IVA Research and Consultancy on the "radical right” nature of the PVV and Geert Wilders. The Dutch government commissioned the "scientific” study, obtained exactly the result it desired, and released the report just in time for the second phase of the Wilders trial.
Model Middle East Indoctrination
American Thinker 1 February 2010
By Stephen Schwartz
Most Americans, even many of those concerned with the problems of academic Middle East Studies, have probably never heard of the Model Arab League (MAL), an American exercise similar to the better-known Model United Nations.
Debunking Liberalism and Islam
Patriot Post 1 February 2010
By Burt Prelutsky
Recently, a conservative I know suggested that it would be great if all the liberals packed up and moved to, say, France. Although I happen to have a few liberal friends and I would surely miss them, I certainly endorse and second his motion.
Censorship by Intimidation
Family Security Matters 1 February 2010
By Melanie Phillips
A study by the University of Exeter’s European Muslim Research Centre claims that a rise in the number of hate crimes against Muslims in London is being encouraged by mainstream politicians and sections of the media. In the Guardian, Vikram Dodd has written:
Stop the Trial of Geert Wilders
Wall Street Journal 28 January 2010
By LEON DE WINTER
What started as a trial against Geert Wilders for alleged Islamophobia has nearly turned into its opposite: a historical case about the message of the Quran.
The Amsterdam court trying the controversial Dutch politician is now preoccupied with the question of whether this book, sacred to more than a billion believers, can be compared to one of the most vile publications in the history of Western civilization—Hitler's "Mein Kampf." What could possibly go wrong?
