America as the Last Man Standing

America as the Last Man Standing
Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the
Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots
and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem.
Dear friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me.
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 United States as the last bastion of Western

civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.
First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I will say a few
things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.
The Europe you know is changing.
You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a
few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the
world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods
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 corners. 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 neighborhoods, and
they are mushrooming in every city across Europe. These are the buildingblocks
for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, street by
street, neighborhood by neighborhood, 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
neighborhoods. 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 their 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 no longer be taught because of Muslim
sensitivity.
In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many
neighborhoods 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 favor of a worldwide
caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give
them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.
The Christian-Democratic attorney general 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 behavior, 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. 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 neighborhoods, their cities,
their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the
prophet. His behavior 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. If it is good for Islam, it is good.
If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.
Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a hereafter,
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.
Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in
the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has
wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the
aggressor. 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.

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. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of
Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. 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. Yet there is a danger 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
page 5 of 6
America as the Last Man Standing
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.
We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from
destroying the free world that we know.
Please take the time to read and understand what is written here. Please send
it to every free person that you know. It is so very important
Thank you,
Geert Wilders
