Struggling to stay above water in the ratings race, Christiane Amanpour tackled the hot topic of Islam on This Week, ABC’s rapidly sinking program. She invited some outstanding talking-heads for the non-Islamist, pro-West side – Robert Spencer, Rev. Franklin Graham and Gary Bauer in a cameo appearance. Though the in-studio audience was stacked with apologists for Islam and gullible lefties and despite her self-righteous “crusade” against “Islamophobia,” Amanpour did let the “Islamophobes” finish their sentences, resulting in the audience actually receiving useful information.

“I understand what the Muslims want to do in America. They want to build as many mosques and cultural centers as possible so they can convert as many Americans as they can to Islam. Look, I love the Muslim people, but I have great difficulties with the Religion, especially with Shariah law, what it does to women and to non-believers and the violence that is given under Shariah law.” — Rev. Graham

Daisy Khan, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s wife, found her mission of doing taqiyya (the Islamic practice of lying to infidels for the sake of Allah), complicated by Imam Anjem Choudary, who appeared via a live video feed from London. He truthfully explained the global ambitions of Shariah. “Proof of Islam’s diversity,” exclaimed Daisy. Of course, Choudary was the only Imam on the panel and his “views” are not only best informed, but also most authoritative.

“We do believe as Muslims, the East and the West will one day be governed by the Shariah. Indeed we believe that one day the flag of Islam will fly over the White House. Indeed there  is even an oration of the Prophet (Muhammad, Ed.) when he said the Day of Judgment will not come until a group of my Ummah (Nation, Ed.) conquers the white house.” — Imam Anjem Choudary, live from London.

Few people dare to speak the truth about Islam in public, because Muslims have a nasty habit of beheading those who stand in their way. That’s why Robert Spencer and Franklin Graham are such heroic figures in this clash of civilizations. However, beyond any doubt, the bravest warrior for the West is Geert Wilders. You may recall his inspirational speech at Ground Zero.

Wilders spoke in Berlin yesterday, alerting Europe, yet again, to the existential danger Islam poses to our way of life. He spoke German, but here is the complete English transcript.

Dear Friends,

I am very happy to be here in Berlin today. As you know, the invitation which my friend René Stadtkewitz extended to me, has cost him his membership of the CDU group in the Berlin Parliament. René, however, did not give in to the pressure. He did not betray his convictions. His dismissal prompted René to start a new political party. I wish him all the best. As you may have heard, the past weeks were extremely busy for me. Earlier this week we succeeded in forging a minority government of the Liberals and the Christian-Democrats which will be supported by my party. This is an historic event for the Netherlands. I am very proud of having helped to achieve this. At this very moment the Christian-Democrat Party conference is deciding whether or not to approves this coalition. If they do, we will be able to rebuild our country, preserve our national identity and offer our children a better future.

Despite my busy schedule at home, however, I insisted on coming to Berlin, because Germany, too, needs a political movement to defend German identity and to oppose the Islamization of Germany. Chancellor Angela Merkel says that the Islamization of Germany is inevitable. She conveys the message that citizens have to be prepared for more changes as a result of immigration. She wants the Germans to adapt to this situation. The Christian-Democrat leader said: “More than before mosques will be an integral part of our cities.”

My friends, we should not accept the unacceptable as inevitable without trying to turn the tide. It is our duty as politicians to preserve our nations for our children. I hope that René’s movement will be as successful as my own Partij voor de Vrijheid, as Oskar Freysinger’s Schweizerische Volkspartei in Switzerland, as Pia Kjaersgaard’s Dansk Folkeparti in Denmark, and similar movements elsewhere.

Mark Steyn has been forced to defend himself against charges of hate speech in three provinces of the Dominion for publishing statistics about Islam and Muslims. His thought provoking book, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, contains a wealth of useful demographic data. The book is a best seller in the United States. In Canada you have to search the dark corners at the back of the store to find it and in Britain it is outlawed. Steyn’s thesis is disturbing to a culture that rgularly runs television ads demanding “DIVERSITY NOW!” If you missed the book, you can get a synopsis, or perhaps just a slice, of the relevant demographics by watching the video above. There is no attribution to Mark Steyn, but there most likely should be. The religious twist at the end is an improvisation by the video producer.

This video shows a Shiia Muslim celebration in Vienna, Austria. It contains scenes of child abuse and lots of blood. If you are squeamish, don’t watch. Ouch!

No matter how much the AFP reporter tries to disguise it as an employment and integration issue, Sweden has a big problem. Even though refugees entering the country receive full welfare benefits immediately on arrival, the Swedes blame themselves for the high levels of juvenile delinquency among the Muslim youths. The title of the AFP article is intentionally deceptive: Sweden struggles to integrate Muslim immigrants.

Sweden has welcomed immigrants with open arms for decades but now it is grappling with how to integrate them into society, especially in the southern town of Malmoe amid a massive influx of refugees.

Once a thriving industrial town with full employment, Malmoe has seen many of its plants shut down since the 1990s. That, combined with a never-ending stream of foreigners arriving, has led to rising juvenile delinquency and rampant unemployment.

Of the town’s 280,000 inhabitants, a third are foreigners and 60,000 are Muslims.
