Study: Shocking Number of Muslims in Europe Back Extremism (Elsevier, The Netherlands)
"It's like
mopping the floor next to a fire hose: our national security is in constant danger.
This is a group of people who don't concern themselves with laws of secular
Western societies - and here it comprises thousands of people. It's from this
group that head hunters like Jihadi John emerge who want to murder cartoonists
and other dissenters. … This isn't about hypothetical cases and will not be resolved
through dialogue while the immigration influx from Islamic countries merrily goes
on. … Halting immigration from Islamic countries is the first necessary step. This
is an inconvenient truth we cannot ignore."
It's an unpleasant truth: many Muslims who benefit from
Western prosperity later turn against secular laws. Halting immigration from
Islamic countries is the first necessary step.
The existence of Jihadi John, the executioner of the Islamic
State who is producing jihadist porn, is a serious refutation of [Democrat 66
Party Leader] Alexander
Pechtold's twaddle.
Jihadi John's real name is Muhammad Emwazi,
a Kuwait-born Brit not even 30 years old. Emwazi beheaded
American aid worker Peter Kassig, journalists
James Foley, Steven Sotloff and Kenji Goto and truck driver Haruna
Yukawa.
Muhammad Emwazi wants all humanity
to witness his crimes. Has he ever had to suffer due to British culture and
government?
The Enlightenment
Emwazi has made use of all the
amenities made possible - not by his ancestors, but by British taxpayers. The
basis of the freedom and humanity he enjoyed stem neither from Kuwait nor the
Islamic faith.
He was allowed to exercise his religion in public. That
wasn't passed on to him because of Islam, but because of the Enlightenment and
the freedom of religion. Without hindrance his parents could become British,
again, no thanks to Islam or his native Kuwait.
Citizenship and non-discrimination are also Enlightenment
ideals which, in the wake of the French Revolution [1789-1799],
gradually took hold in European legal systems. This is how Emwazi
was able to enjoy an unobstructed education.
The Middle Class
It is a fruit of the Enlightenment and Christianity: be good
to your fellow man.
In a continent marked by the Enlightenment and Judeo-Christian
tradition, Muhammad Emwazi grew and prospered. He became
a computer analyst from a typical successful British middle class family.
Muhammad, however, returned to the faith of his ancestors.
What has that brought forth?: Slavery, violent jihad, the
oppression of women, the oppression of freedom, discrimination, anti-Semitism
and the use of primal violence.
So he became an Islamic State icon: Jihadi John, Muhammad's head
hunter. More and more we wonder how so many Muslims in Europe could be
susceptible to fundamentalist Islam.
[Editor's Note: The abstract
of the study begins: "Religious fundamentalism is not a marginal
phenomenon in Western Europe. The author analyzed data from a representative
survey among immigrants and natives in six European countries. Two thirds of
the Muslims interviewed say that religious rules are more important to them
than the laws of the country in which they live. Three quarters of the
respondents hold the opinion that there is only one legitimate interpretation
of the Koran. These numbers are significantly higher than those from local
Christians. Only 13 percent of this group put religious rules above national
law; just under 20 percent refuse to accept differing
interpretations of the Bible.]
Given the increased terror threat in Europe, Islamic
fundamentalism is for us now a vital issue.
We assumed that in Europe, Islamic fundamentalism as an
ideological basis of Islamic terrorism had a tiny following. The research centers
of E.U. member states like the Scientific Council for Government Policy and
other state institutions were hardly prepared to thoroughly examine this issue.
Of course, the outcome such investigations could expose an
unpleasant truth. Below you can see the percentage of Muslims who believe in
the framework ofIslamic
fundamentalism:
We should return to
the roots of Islam:
Germany 49.9 percent, France 61.4,
Netherlands 54.5, Belgium 66.1, Austria 65.0, Sweden 43.4.
There is only one
interpretation of Islam:
Germany 57.1 percent, France 81.7,
Netherlands 74.3, Belgium 82.2, Austria 79.1, Sweden 67.4.
Religious laws are
more important than the secular laws:
Germany 45.1 percent, France 73.2,
Netherlands 70.0, Belgium 69.6, Austria 73.1, Sweden 52.1.
I Agree
with all three of the above fundamentalist themes:
Germany 29.9 percent, France 52.3, Netherlands 44.6, Belgium
52.5, Austria 55.2, Sweden 30.8.
I have no gay
friends:
Germany 61.0 percent, France 57.6, Netherlands 47.4, Belgium
60.9, Austria 70.8, Sweden 42.9.
Jews are not to be
trusted:
Germany 28.0 percent, France 43.4, Netherlands 40.4, Belgium
56.7, Austria 64.1, Sweden 36.8.
The West wants to
destroy Islam:
Germany 33.4 percent, France 52.5, Netherlands 54.4, Belgium
63.0, Austria 67.1, Sweden 51.9.
I agree with all
three of the above ideas:
Germany 14.4 percent, France 25.0, Netherlands 21.7, Belgium
35.0, Austria 43.2, Sweden 19.0.
Terrifying
These five states are characterized by their social welfare
states. Particularly in Sweden, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, the state
pampers immigrants. This outcome will be very annoying for parties like Democrats
66, and petrifying for social cohesion and the security of these countries.
Posted By Worldmeets.US,
Have you seen any reaction at all from parties like the People's
Party for Freedom and Democracy [VVD] or the Christian
Democratic Appeal [CDA]? They ignore these
figures, with the result that gays, dissenters and Jews will also have to continue
living under the threat of Islamism.
Homophobic
This is also evident from these figures: The homophobic,
anti-Semitic and freedom-hating attitude of this large group of Muslims will
not change, because it will pass this attitude on to the next generation. Indeed,
faith is passed down.
It's like mopping the floor next to a fire hose: Our
national security is in constant danger.
This is a group of people who don't concern themselves with
the Constitution or other laws of secular Western societies - and here it
comprises thousands of people. It's from this group that head hunters like
Jihadi John and other Muslim terrorists emerge who want to murder cartoonists
and other dissenters.
Immigration
This isn't about hypothetical cases and will not be resolved
through dialogue while the immigration influx from Islamic countries merrily goes
on.
The study also shows that there is no clear, direct
relationship between the results of this study and discrimination, racism or
unemployment. Let's also not forget that the unemployed are not treated all
that inhumanely by our state. These figures should have consequences on laws
and policies.
Halting immigration from Islamic countries is the first necessary
step. This is an inconvenient truth we cannot ignore.
