"In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe?"

Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, a Dutch Parliamentarian and
chairman of the Party for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the Four
Seasons, New York,
introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad
Conference in Jerusalem

The speech was sponsored by the Hudson Institute on September 25.

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me. Great to be at the Four Seasons.
I come from a country that has one season only: a rainy season that
starts January 1st and ends December 31st. When we have three sunny
days in a row, the government declares a national emergency. So Four
Seasons, that's new to me.

It's great to be in New York. When I see the skyscrapers and office
buildings, I think of what Ayn Rand said: "The sky over New York and
the will of man made visible." Of course. Without the Dutch you would
have been nowhere, still figuring out how to buy this island from the
Indians. But we are glad we did it for you. And, frankly, you did a
far better job than we possibly could have done.

I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world.
There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be
optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of
Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of
Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the
West. The danger I see looming is the scenario of America as the last
man standing. The United States as the last bastion of Western
civilization, facing an Islamic Europe. In a generation or two, the US
will ask itself: who lost Europe? Patriots from around Europe risk
their lives every day to prevent precisely this scenario form becoming
a reality.

My short lecture consists of 4 parts.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I
will say a few things about Islam. Thirdly, if you are still here, I
will talk a little bit about the movie you just saw. To close I will
tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.

The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks.
The Eiffel Tower and Trafalgar Square and Rome's ancient buildings and
maybe the canals of Amsterdam. They are still there. And they still
look very much the same as they did a hundred years ago.

But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your
tourist destination, there is another world, a world very few visitors
see - and one that does not appear in your tourist guidebook. It is
the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim
neighbourhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even
seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police
as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in
figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their
husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With
mosques on many street corner. The shops have signs you and I cannot
read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These
are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics.
These are Muslim neighbourhoods, and they are mushrooming in every
city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial
control of increasingly larger
portions of Europe, street by street, neighbourhood by neighbourhood,
city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe. With larger
congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city
there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in
the region.

Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take
Amsterdam, Marseille and Malmo in Sweden. In many cities the majority
of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a
ring of Muslim neighbourhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among
boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be
mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that
would be an insult
to Muslims. Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal
food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up
almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear "whore,
whore".

Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations
in the country of origin. In France school teachers are advised to
avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and
Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin. The history of the
Holocaust can in many cases no longer be taught because of Muslim
sensitivity. In England sharia courts are now officially part of the
British legal system. Many neighbourhoods in France are no-go areas
for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after
being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during
the Ramadan. Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for
the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now
commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel. I
could go on forever with stories like this.

Stories about Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe. San Diego
University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the
population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now.

Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this
century.

Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening
if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there
are few signs
of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims
see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France.
One-third of
French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre
for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students
are in favour of a worldwide caliphate. A Dutch study reported that
half of Dutch Muslims admit they "understand" the 9/11 attacks.

Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them
respect. Our elites are willing to give in. To give up. In my own
country we have gone from calls by one cabinet member to turn Muslim
holidays into official state holidays, to statements by another
cabinet member, that Islam is part of Dutch culture, to an affirmation
by the Christian-Democratic attorney general that he is willing to
accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We
have cabinet members with passports from
Morocco and Turkey.

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behaviour, ranging from petty
crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and
bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the
low-income suburbs, the banlieus. Some prefer to see these as isolated
incidents, but I call it a Muslim intifada. I call the perpetrators
"settlers". Because that is what they are. They do not come to
integrate into our societies, they come to integrate our society into
their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively
against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their
neighbourhoods, their cities, their countries.

Politicians shy away from taking a stand against this creeping sharia.
They believe in the equality of all cultures. Moreover, on a mundane
level, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored. Our many
problems with Islam cannot be explained by poverty, repression or the
European colonial past, as the Left claims. Nor does it have anything
to go with Palestinians or American troops in Iraq. The problem is
Islam itself.

Allow me to give you a brief Islam 101. The first thing you need to
know about Islam is the importance of the book of the Quran. The Quran
is Allah's personal word, revealed by an angel to Mohammed, the
prophet. This is where the trouble starts. Every word in the Quran is
Allah's word and therefore not open to discussion or interpretation.
It is valid for every Muslim and for all times. Therefore, there is no
such a thing as moderate Islam. Sure, there are a lot of moderate
Muslims. But a moderate Islam is non-existent.

The Quran calls for hatred, violence, submission, murder, and
terrorism. The Quran calls for Muslims to kill non-Muslims, to
terrorize non-Muslims and to fulfil their duty to wage war: violent
jihad. Jihad is a duty for every Muslim, Islam is to rule the world -
by the sword. The Quran is clearly anti-Semitic, describing Jews as
monkeys and pigs.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the
prophet.

His behaviour is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized.
Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and
Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed
was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages
- at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in
battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war
executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu
Qurayza. He advised on matters of slavery, but never advised to
liberate slaves. Islam has no other morality than the advancement of
Islam. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it
is bad. There is no gray area or other side.

Quran as Allah's own word and Mohammed as the perfect man are the two
most important facets of Islam. Let no one fool you about Islam being
a religion.

Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its
essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down
detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants
to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is
not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for
is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to
communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian
ideologies.

This is what you need to know about Islam, in order to understand
what is going on in Europe. For millions of Muslims the Quran and the
life of Mohammed are not 14 centuries old, but are an everyday
reality, an ideal, that guide every aspect of their lives. Now you
know why Winston Churchill
called Islam "the most retrograde force in the world", and why he
compared Mein Kampf to the Quran.

Which brings me to my movie, Fitna.

I am a lawmaker, and not a movie maker. But I felt I had the moral
duty to educate about Islam. The duty to make clear that the Quran
stands at the heart of what some people call terrorism but is in
reality jihad. I wanted to show that the problems of Islam are at the
core of Islam, and do not belong to its fringes.

Now, from the day the plan for my movie was made public, it caused
quite a stir, in the Netherlands and throughout Europe. First, there
was a political storm, with government leaders, across the continent
in sheer panic. The Netherlands was put under a heightened terror
alert, because of possible attacks or a revolt by our Muslim
population. The Dutch branch of the Islamic organisation Hizb ut-
Tahrir declared that the Netherlands was due for an attack.
Internationally, there was a series of incidents. The Taliban
threatened to organize additional attacks against Dutch troops in
Afghanistan, and a website linked to Al Qaeda published the message
that I ought to be killed, while various muftis in the Middle East
stated that I would be responsible for all the bloodshed after the
screening of the movie.

In Afghanistan and Pakistan the Dutch flag was burned on several
occasions. Dolls representing me were also burned. The Indonesian
President announced that I will never be admitted into Indonesia
again, while the UN Secretary General and the European Union issued
cowardly statements in the same vein
as those made by the Dutch Government. I could go on and on. It was an
absolute disgrace, a sell-out.

A plethora of legal troubles also followed, and have not ended yet.
Currently the state of Jordan is litigating against me. Only last week
there were renewed security agency reports about a heightened terror
alert for the
Netherlands because of Fitna.

Now, I would like to say a few things about Israel. Because, very
soon, we will get together in its capitol. The best way for a
politician in Europe to loose votes is to say something positive about
Israel. The public has
wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as
the
aggressor. I, however, will continue to speak up for Israel. I see
defending Israel as a matter of principle. I have lived in this
country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel. First,
because it is the Jewish homeland
after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz,
second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our
first line of defense.

Samuel Huntington writes it so aptly: "Islam has bloody borders".
Israel is located precisely on that border. This tiny country is
situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial
advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir,
Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon,
and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-
Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war
against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows
that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel,
Islamic imperialism would
have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for
conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the
army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep
well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address
the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God
forbid, to go
down, it would not bring any solace to the West. It would not mean our
Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and
accept
our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous
encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see
the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The
end of
Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the
beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world
domination.

If they can get Israel, they can get everything. Therefore, it is not
that
the West has a stake in Israel. It is Israel.

It is very difficult to be an optimist in the face of the growing
Islamization of Europe. All the tides are against us. On all fronts we
are
losing. Demographically the momentum is with Islam. Muslim immigration
is even a source of pride within ruling liberal parties. Academia, the
arts, the media, trade unions, the churches, the business world, the
entire
political establishment have all converted to the suicidal theory of
multiculturalism. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all
critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. The
entire establishment has sided with our enemy. Leftists, liberals and
Christian-Democrats are now all in bed with Islam.

This is the most painful thing to see: the betrayal by our elites. At
this moment in Europe's history, our elites are supposed to lead us.
To stand up for centuries of civilization. To defend our heritage. To
honour our eternal Judeo-Christian values that made Europe what it is
today. But there are very few signs of hope to be seen at the
governmental level. Sarkozy, Merkel, Brown, Berlusconi; in private,
they probably know how grave the situation is. But when the little red
light goes on, they stare into the camera and tell us that Islam is a
religion of peace, and we should all try to get along nicely and sing
Kumbaya. They willingly participate in, what President Reagan so aptly
called: "the betrayal of our past, the squandering of our freedom."

If there is hope in Europe, it comes from the people, not from the
elites. Change can only come from a grass-roots level. It has to come
from the citizens themselves. Yet these patriots will have to take on
the entire
political, legal and media establishment. [Sic: Exactly as in India.
They are the fifth column of Islam. NSR]

Over the past years there have been some small, but encouraging, signs
of a rebirth of the original European spirit. Maybe the elites turn
their backs on freedom, the public does not. In my country, the
Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass
immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World
War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the
biggest threat to our national identity. I don't think the public
opinion in Holland is very different from other European countries.

Patriotic parties that oppose jihad are growing, against all odds. My
own party debuted two years ago, with five percent of the vote. Now it
stands at ten percent in the polls. The same is true of all similarly-
minded parties
in Europe. They are fighting the liberal establishment, and are
gaining footholds on the political arena, one voter at the time.

Now, for the first time, these patriotic parties will come together
and exchange experiences. It may be the start of something big.
Something that might change the map of Europe for decades to come. It
might also be Europe's last chance.

This December a conference will take place in Jerusalem. Thanks to
Professor Aryeh Eldad, a member of Knesset, we will be able to watch
Fitna in the Knesset building and discuss the jihad. We are organizing
this event in Israel to emphasize the fact that we are all in the same
boat together, and that Israel is part of our common heritage. Those
attending will be a select audience. No racist organizations will be
allowed. And we will only admit parties that are solidly democratic.

This conference will be the start of an Alliance of European patriots.
This Alliance will serve as the backbone for all organizations and
political
parties that oppose jihad and Islamization. For this Alliance I seek
your
support.

This endeavor may be crucial to America and to the West. America may
hold fast to the dream that, thanks to its location, it is safe from
jihad and shaira. But seven years ago to the day, there was still
smoke rising from ground zero, following the attacks that forever
shattered that dream. Yet
there is a danger even greater danger than terrorist attacks, the
scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in
Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe
without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual
nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies
will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic
Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of
Rome, Athens and Jerusalem.

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation
never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver
platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout
Europe American
cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and
whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we
are merely
its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to
Europe's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We
cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would
never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not
have the right to do so.

This is not the first time our civilization is under threat. We have
seen dangers before. We have been betrayed by our elites before. They
have sided with our enemies before. And yet, then, freedom prevailed.

These are not times in which to take lessons from appeasement,
capitulation, giving away, giving up or giving in. These are not times
in which to draw lessons from Mr. Chamberlain. These are times calling
us to draw lessons
from Mr. Churchill and the words he spoke in 1942:

"Never give in, never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small,
large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good
sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently
overwhelming might of the enemy".
