Mange har sikkert læst Greenes profetiske og allegoriske roman i gymnasiet, uden at forstå alt for meget. Hverken om kærlighed, krig eller politiske spejlkabinetter, som er det den drejer sig om. Det hele går op i en højere enhed når man ser filmatiseringen fra 2002 med Michael Caine som den desillusionerede, katolske, opiumstilbøjelige krigskorrespondent Thomas Fowler (Graham Greene), der kolliderer med den idealistiske amerikaner, Alden Pyle, der ikke forstår hvad han har rodet sig ud i, og derfor ender som “quiet” – død. Det er bedst at gå ned og leje filmen, men den er også online ovenfor i sin helhed fra en kinesisk server, tekstet på kinesisk til ære for eventuelle kinesiske læsere. Lad den lade eller download. Se traileren her “Vietnam – en krig amerikanerne ikke forstod.” Historien gentager sig. Modvilligt, for USA´s vedkommende.
Immigration made America strong – but it threatens to ruin Europe
Caldwell forstætter sit fint sete tema – at multikulturen koster i individuelle frihedsrettigheder, vi tidligere kunne tage for givet. Vi kunne gifte os her med hvem somhelst, vi kunne tale frit uden frygt, gå på gaden uden at blive filmet, politikere behøvede ikke livvagter – osv. osv. osv. Man ser også at Caldwell har opdaget ordet “kædeindvandring” (chain migration.) “Kjedjeinvandring” giver nul hits på svensk, 1290 på dansk, exklusive Infomedia. I Sverige og Norge, hvor det foregår i stor stil, har de ikke ordet. Sproget, diskursen, er udelukkende venstrefløjens, Man ser her den borgerlige lederskribent Gudmundsson kæmpe mod ordet “islamofobi”, der er et mainstream-udtryk i Sverige, men han kan ikke få skovlen under det, for han kender ikke dets islamistiske , propagandistiske oprindelse.
Are Britain and Europe being swamped, overrun, defeated by a wave of mostly Muslim immigrants and their descendants? Or are Europe’s ethnic problems the figment of a febrile political imagination – something created by racism, dishonesty and manipulation by extremist parties such as the BNP? Both sides will take lots of fodder for their arguments from a study released last week by the highly reliable Pew Forum On Religion And Public Life. According to the report, there are now 1.6 billion Muslims, a quarter of the world’s population. And they are distributed in surprising ways – there are more Muslims in Germany than in Lebanon, for example. [..]
Consider female circumcision, common in Muslim countries such as Somalia and Sudan. A study by a Dutch university found this mutilation is widespread among Europeans of East African descent. So what does Sweden – which has a relaxed attitude towards sexuality but also a lot of female circumcision – do?Nyamko Sabuni is the Burundian-born Swedish Minister for Integration and Gender Equality – her title alone gives an idea of how important a battleground feminism is in countries of heavy immigration. She called for gynaecological inspections of all schoolgirls in Sweden – not just Muslims, since this would violate equal treatment, but all girls. This approach was rejected. But the fact it was even proposed at the highest levels of government is shocking.
In the Nineties, Denmark lost control of its immigration policy almost completely. One problem was a set of guidelines on asylum that overwhelmed the country’s bureaucracy. Another was marriage migration. The great majority of Danes of non-Western background married people from their ancestral countries, and the figure was even higher for those from Muslim countries. This was seen as a threat as it made chain migration possible, where a spouse uses his or her newly acquired citizenship to bring in extended families. It also showed that many people who held Danish passports did not fully think of themselves as Danes.
Denmark had to act, but it was hard to do so in a way that would not be xenophobic. In 2001 it passed a law called the Aliens Act. Citizens under the age of 24 who marry spouses from outside the European Union are not allowed, except in special cases, to reside permanently in the country. So Denmark succeeded in stemming the implantation of Muslim culture on its territory – within five years only a third of foreign-background Danes were marrying abroad. But there was a high price, and the price was paid by all citizens in rights. The right to live in your own country after marriage was no longer self-evident. by CHRISTOPHER CALDWELL.

Robert Spencer: Mosque-hopping in Berlin
Last Sunday I entered the surreal world of cultural enrichment in Berlin. Being from Vienna, where the Socialist government has given the multiculturalists a free hand for the past century, I thought I was already used to the sight of hijabed women of all backgrounds, with countless children in tow. Well, I was in for an unpleasant surprise.





Her er mit lægmandsræsonnement: Hvis islam var en religion som alle andre, skulle forekomsten af ordet i medierne, alt andet lige, hænge sammen med antallet af udøvere. Er der flere der følger en religion end en anden, vil den første også blive omtalt tilsvarende mere. Nu er alt andet som bekendt ikke lige, men det er alligevel interessant at sammenholde et hurtigt Infomedia-survey på ordet “buddhisme” med den graf for ordet “islam” jeg gengav før. De nøgne tal er som følger for 1995 til d.d.: 1995 77, 1996 106, 1997 96, 1998 109, 1999 119, 2000 188, 2001 173, 2002 215, 2003 334, 2004 253, 2005 323, 2006 257, 2007 434, 2008 622, 2009 398 – gengivet i hosstående graf.
