While we await the release of Dutch MP Geert Wilders 15 minute documentary on
the Koran and
Violence, it is worth recalling (hat tip Daniel Pipes) that
Winston Churchill on p. 50 of From War to
War, the first part of the first volume of his 6-part Second
World War, proclaimed Hitler's Mein Kampf to be,
Madam Speaker, allow me, first, to express my sincere thanks to you
personally for having planned a debate on Islam on the very day of my birthday
[September 6]. I could not have wished for a nicer present!
Madam Speaker, approximately 1400 years ago war was declared on us by an
ideology of hate and violence which arose at the time and was proclaimed by a
barbarian who called himself the Prophet Mohammed. I am referring to Islam.
Madam Speaker, let me start with the foundation of the Islamic faith, the
Koran. The Koran's core theme is about the duty of all Muslims to fight
non-Muslims; an Islamic Mein Kampf, in which fight means war, jihad. The Koran
is above all a book of war – a call to butcher non-Muslims (2:191, 3:141, 4:91,
5:3), to roast them (4:56, 69:30-69:32), and to cause bloodbaths amongst
them (47:4). Jews are compared to monkeys and pigs (2:65, 5:60, 7:166), while
people who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God must according to the Koran
be fought (9:30 [9:29]). Madam Speaker, the West has no problems with Jews or
Christians, but it does have problems with Islam. It is still possible, even
today, for Muslims to view the Koran, which they regard as valid for all time,
as a licence to kill. And that is exactly what happens. The Koran is worded in
such a way that its instructions are addressed to Muslims for eternity, which
includes today's Muslims.This in contrast to texts in the Bible, which is
formulated as a number of historical narratives, placing events in a distant
past. Let us remind ourselves that it was Muslims, not Jews or Christians, who
committed the catastrophic terrorist attacks in New York, Madrid and London; and
that it was no coincidence that Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered by a Muslim,
Mohammed Bouyeri.
Madam Speaker, I acknowledge that there are people who call themselves
Muslims and who respect our laws. My party, the Freedom Party, has nothing
against such people, of course.
However, the Koran does have something against them. For it is stated in the
Koran in Sura 2, verse 85, that those believers who do not believe in everything
the Koran states will be humiliated and receive the severest punishment; which
means that they will roast in Hell. In other words, people who call themselves
Muslims but who do not believe, for example, in Sura 9, verse 30 [9:30], which
states that Jews and Christians must be fought, or, for example, in Sura 5,
verse 38, which states that the hand of a thief must be cut off, such people
will be humiliated and roast in Hell.
Note that it is not me who is making this up. All this can be found in the
Koran. The Koran also states that Muslims who believe in only part of the Koran
are in fact apostates, and we know what has to happen to apostates. They have to
be killed.
Madam Speaker, the Koran is a book that incites to violence. I remind the
House that the distribution of such texts is unlawful according to Article 132
of our Penal Code. In addition, the Koran incites to hatred and calls for murder
and mayhem. The distribution of such texts is made punishable by Article 137(e).
The Koran is therefore a highly dangerous book; a book which is completely
against our legal order and our democratic institutions. In this light, it is an
absolute necessity that the Koran be banned for the defence and reinforcement of
our civilisation and our constitutional state. I shall propose a second-reading
motion to that effect.
Madam Speaker, there is no such thing as "moderate Islam". As Turkish Prime
Minister Erdogan said the other day, and I quote, "There is no moderate or
immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that's it". Islam is in pursuit of
dominance. It wishes to exact its imperialist agenda by force on a worldwide
scale (8:39). This is clear from European history. Fortunately, the first
Islamic invasion of Europe was stopped at Poitiers in 732; the second in Vienna
in 1683. Madam Speaker, let us ensure that the third Islamic invasion, which is
currently in full spate, will be stopped too in spite of its insidious nature
and notwithstanding the fact that, in contrast to the 8th and 17th centuries, it
has no need for an Islamic army because the scared "dhimmis" in the West, also
those in Dutch politics, have left their doors wide open to Islam and
Muslims.
Apart from conquest, Madam Speaker, Islam is also bent on installing a
totally different form of law and order, namely Sharia law. This makes Islam,
apart from a religion for hundreds of millions of Muslims also, and in
particular, a political ideology (with political/constitutional/Islamic
basic values, etc). Islam is an ideology without any respect for others; not for
Christians, not for Jews, not for non?believers and not for apostates. Islam
aims to dominate, subject, kill and wage war.
Madam Speaker, the Islamic incursion must be stopped. Islam is the Trojan
Horse in Europe. If we do not stop Islamification now, Eurabia and Netherabia
will just be a matter of time. One century ago, there were approximately 50
Muslims in the Netherlands. Today, there are about 1 million Muslims in this
country. Where will it end? We are heading for the end of European and Dutch
civilisation as we know it.
Where is our Prime Minister in all this? In reply to my questions in the
House he said, without batting an eyelid, that there is no question of our
country being Islamified. Now, this reply constituted a historical error as soon
as it was uttered. Very many Dutch citizens, Madam Speaker, experience the
presence of Islam around them. And I can report that they have had enough of
burkas, headscarves, the ritual slaughter of animals, so?called honour revenge,
blaring minarets, female circumcision, hymen restoration operations, abuse of
homosexuals, Turkish and Arabic on the buses and trains as well as on town hall
leaflets, halal meat at grocery shops and department stores, Sharia exams, the
Finance Minister's Sharia mortgages, and the enormous overrepresentation of
Muslims in the area of crime, including Moroccan street terrorists. In spite of
all this, Madam Speaker, there is hope. Fortunately. The majority of Dutch
citizens have become fully aware of the danger, and regard Islam as a threat to
our culture. My party, the Freedom Party, takes those citizens seriously and
comes to their defence.Many Dutch citizens are fed up to the back teeth and
yearn for action. However, their representatives in The Hague are doing
precisely nothing. They are held back by fear, political correctness or simply
electoral motives. This is particularly clear in the case of PvdA, the Dutch
Labour Party, which is afraid of losing Muslim voters. The Prime Minister said
in Indonesia the other day that Islam does not pose any danger. Minister Donner
believes that Sharia law should be capable of being introduced in the
Netherlands if the majority want it. Minister Vogelaar babbles about the future
Netherlands as a country with a Judeo?Christian?Islamic tradition, and that
she aims to help Islam take root in Dutch society. In saying this, the Minister
shows that she has obviously gone stark raving mad. She is betraying Dutch
culture and insulting Dutch citizens. Madam Speaker, my party, the Freedom
Party, demands that Minister Vogelaar retract her statement. If the Minister
fails to do so, the Freedom Party parliamentary group will withdraw its support
for her. No Islamic tradition must ever be established in the Netherlands: not
now and also not in a few centuries' time.
Madam Speaker, let me briefly touch on the government's response to the WRR
[Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy] report. On page 12 of its
response, the government states that Islam is not contrary to democracy or human
rights. All I can say to that is that things can't get much more idiotic than
this.Madam Speaker, it is a few minutes to twelve. If we go on like this, Islam
will herald the end of our Western civilisation as well as Dutch culture.I would
like to round off my first-reading contribution with a personal appeal to the
Prime Minister on behalf of a great many Dutch citizens: stop the Islamification
of the Netherlands! Mr Balkenende, a historic task rests on your shoulders. Be
courageous. Do what many Dutch citizens are screaming out for. Do what the
country needs. Stop all immigration from Muslim countries, ban all building of
new mosques, close all Islamic schools, ban burkas and the Koran. Expel all
criminal Muslims from the country, including those Moroccan street terrorists
that drive people mad. Accept your responsibility! Stop Islamification! Enough
is enough, Mr Balkenende. Enough is enough.
