in the Netherlands, and only if your criticism somehow incites violence and hatred for Muslims. At least those are the charges up on Dutch Politician Geert Wilders. You can read the story here, but suffice to say Geert basically did what the KKK does when it talks about Jews. However, this is a crime in the Netherlands, and I think it’s a crime only because Geert happens to be part of the leading coalition in the Dutch parliament. If he was just some dude on the street then I don’t think the courts would have gone after him, but since he’s an elected government official his anti-Muslim stance could be seen as coming not from himself but from the Dutch government itself.
However, I gotta say, if the Dutch government wants to keep the Netherlands majority Dutch then anti-Muslim is probably gonna be how it’s going to have to do business. And to be fair, Geert was voted into his seat in March because of the massively anti-immigration sentiment of the population who is concerned that the 6% Muslim population in the Netherlands will quickly outstrip the currently non-breading Dutch majority. And this is not a case that is simply a matter for the Netherlands. All of Europe is slowly becoming more and more Muslim as time progresses, due mostly in part to very low birth rates on the part of the non-Muslims, high immigration rates on the part of Muslims, high conversion rates to Islam from the non-Muslim population, and an edict from many Imams that basically tells Muslims to breed the infidels out if they can’t convert or kill them. Don’t believe me on that last one? Read the Koran and see if you can get to that statement from what is written in there. (BTW if you ever do read the Koran prepare to be a little terrified, while it does have quite a bit of lovely poetry, it also has quite a bit about how killing the Infidels is a top priority of all Muslims)
Luckily we live across the sea from this kind of thing. That is, being breed out by the Muslims. No, the people that are currently producing offspring at a much higher rate than the current Anglo-Saxon majority, happen to be Christian. God bless Central and South American immigrants and their Catholic faith. However, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to see the shockwaves from Europe on this one. As the Muslim populations start to become larger and larger in comparison to the majority political groups in the European states you will see more and more problems in the parliaments as the Muslim backed coalitions start trying to enact and enforce the same kinds of laws that exist in the fundamentalist Islam countries. Personally, and this is because I’m a firm believer in Murphy’s law, I see Europe getting either another Hitler or Napoleon out of the deal, who will be riding on the waves of disenfranchised and formerly powerful white-Christians who have just watched their countries taken from them by a new Muslim majority.
And why do I think this will happen? Because history shows us that when the Muslims take over a country that is formerly Christian, life gets very terrible for the Christians there. And I’m not talking way back in the days of yore. I’m talking recent world history. Lebanon used to be a Christian country. Yeah, Lebanon, one of the many “We hate Isreal and want to destroy it!” countries, was Christian until the 1970’s. The 70’s! So yeah. I think the European nations aren’t stupid and don’t want the same thing to happen to them and I think anti-Muslim sentiment is only going to grow over there, and I think it’s going to be a bad day for the world when the spark finally sets everything off.
Apparently a lot of European countries are having problems with trying to be tolerant of immigrants from other cultures. I think it’s interesting that Europe is having the exact problem so many Americans want to avoid, namely, cultural takeover. While clearly many people across the pond think they’ve gone too far toward acceptance, I think we over here are trending dangerously toward the other extreme of irrational immigrant hatred, especially toward groups like Muslims who, let’s face it, are a really, really small portion of the population (0.6% ).
Even in these European countries like the Netherlands, Muslims and non-native ethnicities only comprise 20% of the population . In the EU as a whole, Muslims make up 2.6% of the population.
I actually agree that conditions are potentially right for a strong leader to be elected on some sort of anti-native platform (like Hitler was), but I don’t think it’ll be because “disenfranchised and formerly powerful” people are angry at getting voted out. It’ll be because a bunch of jackasses f***ed up the economy and made life crap for the lower classes, and they’ll put someone in power who will place all the blame on “the other guy,” aka Muslims (or Turks, or whatever’s handy). Remember, the Jews didn’t cause all the ills of the 1930s German people. But they were awfully good targets, them and their hard-earned money.
