How I became Islamophobic
En studerende i London fortĂŠller:
I was determined to live and study in London.What I had in mind was the London I saw on television, a stuffy, slightly upmarket New York in effect, with intelligent men and aspirant women supping cocktails and espresso, you know the kind of place. What I have become used to since I arrived here is a city of burkas, terrorism, homophobia, black-tar Heroin, and prostitution; a magnificent metropolis half-destroyed by a single cultural minority.
During my first year of study, I was resident in a student halls with many other people, most of them Muslim, most of them British-born. Throughout this year I witnessed (and on occasion, suffered) cultural bullying of a type I never imagined existed. This was the bullying routinely talked about on racist websites, and which I had always assumed to be Islamophobic fiction.
I was sitting in class one day, near the back of the room. The lecturer had finished talking and now we were told to discuss amongst ourselves the things weâd heard. A group of Muslim men just across from me were apparently uninterested in the lecture that day as they commenced to discuss videos theyâd been emailing each other instead. It took me a short while, but I came to understand that these were decapitation videos. After hearing words and descriptions that I never want to repeat, I nervously looked over at the faces of the men and saw sick, sadistic smiles curling up their bearded faces.
The people I hope to reach are those who might have any illusions about the determination of the Muslims to enforce their way of life onto the rest of us. It is not a âZionist fabricationâ. It is not a âfantasyâ of White Nationalists. I am a perfectly liberal guy, and have a zero-tolerance policy for racism. The threat is real. How I became Islamophobic. (via magnusorerar.)
Michael StĂŒrzenberger Acquitted in Munich
Michael StĂŒrzenberger is a well-known Islam critic in Germany, and was one of the honored guests at last summerâs Brussels Conference. His outspoken style and uncompromising attitude have made him â along with Politically Incorrect and Die Freiheit â persona non grata with the Bavarian government. As with so many other Counterjihad figures who draw the baleful gaze of the authorities, Mr. StĂŒrzenberger has been prosecuted by the state. In his case, the issue was the display of a photo of Heinrich Himmler at a Freiheit rally. No Nazi propaganda was included â and, as everyone familiar with the larger European Counterjihad movement knows, Nazi references are employed to wake citizens up to what lies ahead if their governments continue to cosset Muslims in their midst.
Yesterday Michael StĂŒrzenberger was acquitted in a Munich courtroom. JLH has translated a report from Politically Incorrect on the auspicious occasion, and includes this introductory note:
As StĂŒrzenberger often does, he allows his opponent to âspeakâ at length, by including Kasterâs article and surrounding it with his own atmospheric descriptions of the scene.
I said recently when introducing an article leading up to this trial, that StĂŒrzenbergerâs technique of disputation reminds me of a verbal version of a Clint Eastwood film. He seems to revel in the encounters and in his victories. I suspect that this alone will make him a permanent target of Islamists and leftists.
Munich Trial: Acquittal
No Penalty for Himmler Poster, May 13, 2013
Every seat in courtroom A225 of the Munich court building was occupied on the second day of the Islam-Himmler-poster trial. Several interested parties had to stand in the hall. After four more hours of witness interrogations, viewing of the TV documentary âSarrazinâs Germany,â summations by the prosecutor and the defense attorney and final comments from the accused, the judge announced his verdict: acquittal. With that, the very fairly conducted trial of the Islam-clarifiers came to a welcome end.
Among the spectators, besides an editor of the MĂŒnchner Merkur, was Bernd Kastner of the SĂŒddeutsche Zeitung, who followed both days of the trial and had already posted his article, âTrial of StĂŒrzenberger â no Penalty for the Himmler Poster.â In it, he opines that the âactivist of the Islam-hostile sceneâ had âused the court as a political stage.â
[The PI article includes Kasterâs entire article, minus one heading and one caption:]
Judge Rolf-Dieter Madlindl based the acquittal on the fact that the Himmler poster had only been shown for a few seconds on Marienplatz, before the police intervened. Furthermore, officers who testified had not seen any Nazi symbol like a swastika on Himmlerâs SS uniform and were themselves not sure whether showing the photo was illegal. Certainly, anyway, there was no propaganda for Nazis.
An earlier meeting of the StĂŒrzenberger group in a pub, where the poster had been shown, had been a limited display. StĂŒrzenberger, said the judge, had been lucky, because a TV team which had filmed the poster had placed it in a critical context.
Whether a Himmler photo could be allowed to be shown in public had not yet been judicially decided. At any rate, according to the judge, Himmler had not been portrayed âiconically,â as seen by prosecutor Peter PreuĂ. He [PreuĂ] had asked 80 per diem fines for each of the defendants and emphasized the interdiction on NS symbolism, in order to exclude it from political disputation. In this case, Himmlerâs photo [he said] had been âexploitedâ for political purposes. StĂŒrzenberger is the leader of the Bavarian state section of Die Freiheit party and of the Munich group of the blog Politically Incorrect. Both of them are classified as extremist by Bavarian security service because of their hostility to Islam.
StĂŒrzenberger also used the court as a political stage on the second day of the trial and talked himself into a rage, as in his appearances on the street, saying that there had just been a desire to explain the dangers of Islam, which, like National Socialism, is a totalitarian ideology.
Once again, he held up large photos and turned again and again to the public, sometimes going directly to political opponents sitting there. The judge interrupted him once (âNo public speeches.â), but StĂŒrzenberger could not be stopped. He shouted: âListen well!â At the end, he spoke with fists clenched.
Judge Madlindl made it clear to the defendants that they were on âvery thin iceâ despite the acquittal. He advised them to inquire punctually of state security or the stateâs attorneyâs office about what is allowed, but was contradicted by prosecutor.
PreuĂ: âWe are not allowed to give legal advice.â
Tomorrow, by the way, is the trial for the false report by the SĂŒddeutsche Zeitung that a participant in a Freiheit demonstration in the Munich pedestrian zone had shouted: âGermans, fight back! Do not buy from Jews!â However, it was demonstrably a leftist counter-demonstrator who is now being investigated for hate speech. The Freiheit group, on the other hand, was waving Israel flags.
In conclusion, an appropriate quotation from Frederick the Great:
âTruth needs neither weapons to defend itself nor violence to force people to believe it. It need only appear and, when its light has banished the clouds which hide it, its victory is assured.â
