The Poison of Multiculturalism
FrontPage Magazine 7 December 2011
By Bruce Bawer
If you want a pretty good example of just why multiculturalism is so poisonous, here’s one for you.
I live in Norway. Here, as elsewhere in Europe, there reside innumerable immigrants from the Muslim world who despise Western values, reject sexual equality, and affirm primitive patriarchal codes and concepts of "honor” that condemn people (mostly females) to death for infractions that neither you nor I would even recognize as infractions. Nonetheless these individuals enjoy Norwegian residency, and in some cases Norwegian citizenship, which some of them were granted because they claimed asylum (most likely on specious grounds, as demonstrated by the fact that many, if not most, of them return regularly to the countries from which they supposedly "fled”), and which others were granted because they married Norwegian residents (usually their own cousins, whom they married for no other reason than to acquire Western residency). 
People Like Fjordman
Gates of Vienna 7 December 2011
Note from the Baron:
A full-court press by the Norwegian media is currently underway to assign Fjordman at least partial responsibility for the Oslo massacre. This process is not limited to Norway: it is going on simultaneously in other countries, including Sweden and the Netherlands.
Please publicize what is described here in as many languages as possible. This must become common knowledge far beyond the borders of Norway.
"Rape” fatwa: When will the "Israel made them do it” excuses start?
hotair.com 7 December 2011
By J.E. Dyer
It’s a bizarre, and telling, concatenation of contemporary events. The series of happenings starts on the web forum of Jordanian "protector of jihad” Muhammad al-Maqdisi. The forum is called Minbar al-Tawhid wa-l-Jihad (Pulpit of Monotheism – "unity of God” – and Jihad), and its purpose is to defend proper jihad against the bad name it has been given by groups like al-Qaeda.
Surviving Islamism ... And Right/Left Politics: Churchill's Principle - Part III: Breivik v. Hitler
The Brussels Journal 5 December 2011
By Peter Carl
In this, the third in his series of six essays, Peter Carl peers into the troubling mind and beliefs of the Oslo terrorist, Anders Behring Breivik, both from the point of view of religion and politics. Breivik’s disturbing ideas are held up for comparison against the likes of those of Friedrich Nietzsche, Alexander Tille, Adolf Hitler, and Hanns Kerrl.

Very Little to Debate at ‘Human Rights in Islam’ Discussion

Deadly ‘Diversity’

• 50.000 x EuropeNews & ”No Tolerance for Intolerance”
EuropeNews 28 November 2011
EuropeNews has now reached 50.000 posts, marking more than four years of uninterrupted service in basically the same form as we started
The fundamental aim of EuropeNews remains the same as well, namely providing a compact overview of news that matter. Also unchanged is our slogan:
"No Tolerance for Intolerance – No Apology for Being Free”.
The Paradox of Tolerance
The first part of our slogan derives from the Paradox of Tolerance, that a person or a group taking pride in his supreme tolerance might in fact be profoundly intolerant, not least against those he judges to be "intolerant”, be it in the form of "bigoted”, "discriminating” or even "racist”. The classical notion that discriminating is wisdom and a virtue, not a sin, seems all but forgotten.

Scholars look to Bosnian Islam as a potential model for Europe

Islamophile Illusions

The following essay by Fjordman was published a few days ago in Dagbladet. Many thanks to Cecilie for the translation.
Islamophile Illusions
by Fjordman
I have challenged Marie Simonsen, commentator in Dagbladet, to provide some concrete examples of places where Muslims have lived peacefully with their non-Muslim neighbors over longer periods of time. Personally, I don’t think any such place exists, which means that the term Islamophobia, so frequently used by her newspaper and others, is completely meaningless.
"We Have Lost the City”
Gates of Vienna 22 November 2011
The article below is about the apocalyptic level of culturally-enriched violence in Gronland, a district of the city of Oslo. Fjordman sends this background material on the area: Gronland is

Islam and the Greco-Roman Cultural Heritage
Gates of Vienna 19 November 2011
By Peder Jensen, a.k.a. Fjordman
The following essay by Fjordman was refused publication at the Norwegian newspaper VG. Many thanks to Cecilie for the English translation.
The original Norwegian version, which has also appeared at Snaphanen, is at the bottom of this post.
Islam and the Greco-Roman cultural heritage
Researcher Vidar Enebakk from the University of Oslo wrote an essay for VG this autumn regarding the articles I have published on the Internet about the history of science, from astronomy and geology to quantum physics. According to him, the range of my writings is impressive, their contents "frighteningly good.” This is of course nice to hear.
Norway terror suspect rejects al-Qaida link

Norway Embraces Islamist Tyranny
Hudson New York 17 November 2011
By Bruce Bawer
Anti-Semitism in Norway, where I have lived for twelve years, is over the top. I have never quite gotten used to it. Every now and then I hear or read something that reminds me that I am living in Europe, in a country that was occupied by the Nazis, and where a lot of people were perfectly okay with that. I think it is fair to say that anti-Semitism in Norway is most virulent among the cultural elite – the academics, intellectuals, writers, journalists, politicians, and technocrats – although thanks to the media and schools, it has trickled down to many ordinary Norwegians, some of whom may never even have met a Jewish person.

The greatest threat to women? Islamic law
WND 12 November 2011
By Diana West
We haven't had a good, old-fashioned "feeding frenzy," a la Herman Cain, for a long time – maybe not since the days of Dan Quayle. I'm talking about the kind of media wilding where someone is a whole person one day, and then the piranhas swim in and a gnawed carcass is all that remains. It's especially hard to look at when the victim joins in to shoot himself in the foot, but that's another story.
