When Islamic ‘occupation of Europe’ becomes a reality

Noah Klieger

Op-ed: If Western European countries fail to wake up soon, they may find out within several decades—or maybe even by the end of the century—that the Muslims have become a majority in the population. The jihadists’ terror attacks in the continent are just the beginning.

Allow me to paraphrase a statement made by the late Elie Wiesel. While it’s true, he said, that not all the Germans murdered Jews—all the victims were Jewish. While it’s true that not all the Muslims are jihadists or terrorists, all (or at least an overwhelming majority of) the victims of the killing sprees across Europe are Christians (the Jews have not been a target so far, but rather a “by product”—random victims).

In the Middle East, terror organizations have been fighting each other—and Israel—for years, but this is only the situation in our region. What is the goal of the different jihadist organizations—the Islamic State, al-Qaeda and their likes—concerning Europe? To return to a situation that existed in the not-so-distant past in a number of countries in Europe, following the Ottoman Empire’s occupation expeditions. In other words, their declared aspiration is an Islamization of Europe and an elimination of “the heretics.”

But Islam doesn’t necessarily need murderous terror attacks to take over the continent. Any intelligent person understands that if Western European countries fail to wake up soon, they may find out within several decades—or maybe even by the end of the century—that the Muslims have become a majority in the population. Not only is the natural growth among Muslims much higher (some say 10 times higher) than the natural growth of any other group in the population, but huge waves of immigration from Islamic countries in Africa and the Middle East keep flooding the continent. If this immigration continues, the portend of “an occupation of Europe” will turn into a reality.

Let’s take Britain, for example. Islam is today the second biggest religion in the country, every third child who is born there is given the name “Muhammad” in its different variations, and the Muslim communities in its main cities are only growing. Some of them have Muslim quarters that are essentially run as autonomies.

Many of the millions of Muslims living in the kingdom are second- and third-generation immigrants from countries that used to live under the rule of the “Empire” and whose residents automatically received a British citizenship. For example, the parents of Sadiq Khan, London’s Muslim mayor, arrived in Britain from Pakistan in the 1960s. Khan is an example of a successful integration, but he is not the exception that proves the rule. By the way, in a survey conducted about a year ago only 44 percent of London’s residents described themselves as “white British.”

Statements, protest marches or attempts to engage in a dialogue with imams will do no good when it comes to terror. The only thing that will work in this case are drastic measures making it possible to thwart attacks before they take place, even if they involve a violation of what the West refers to as “human rights.” Instead of “neutralizing” terrorists and prosecuting them after they carry out an attack, doing everything—and at all costs—to prevent the execution of a terror attack.

Hundreds of British Muslims who fought on behalf of ISIS in Syria and Iraq have returned to Britain recently. They are “ticking bombs” in their country. As someone who has been closely following the situation in Europe for years, I have often encountered explanations from different “experts” trying to find “extenuating circumstances” for the “internal” terrorists’ motives—from “cultural maladjustment” through “integration problems” to different mental difficulties. They have apparently failed to comprehend that there is no, and never will be, justification for terrorism—and to hell with political correctness.

Transcript:

PA TV News reader: “Israeli TV Channel 1, during the first part of the prisoners’ exchange, deliberately rebroadcast an interview held in the past in prison with the [now] released female prisoner Ahlam Tamimi to incite against the prisoners.”

PA TV shows Israeli Channel 1 TV re-broadcast of interview:
Israeli interviewer: “Who chose Sbarro [restaurant, as the target of the attack]?”

Tamimi: “I did. Over nine days I examined the place very carefully and chose it after seeing the large number of visits to this restaurant, the Sbarro restaurant. I didn’t want to blow [myself] up, I didn’t want to carry out a Martyrdom-seeking operation (i.e., a suicide attack). My mission was just to choose the place and to bring the Martyrdom-seeker (i.e., the suicide bomber). [I made] the general plan of the operation, but carrying it out was entrusted to the Martyrdom-seeker. … I told him to enter the restaurant, eat a meal, and then after 15 minutes carry out the Martyrdom-seeking operation. During the quarter of an hour I would return the same way that I had arrived. Then I bade him farewell. He went inside, he crossed the road and went to the restaurant, and I went back the way I had come… You have to know something: a Martyrdom-seeker has a very special character, and I was amazed at his great wish to carry out the operation, his great wish to pass over to a different life. How beautiful it is when you make a person – [starts the sentence again] [Suppose] there’s a poor person and you give him a lot of money. He will be happy and you yourself will be happy that you realized for him the happy life that he wanted. My job was to realize, for this Martyrdom-seeker, the happy life that he wanted.”
Interviewer: “Didn’t you think about the people who were in the restaurant? The children? The families?”

Tamimi: “No.”
Tamimi: “I have no regrets, and no Palestinian prisoner regrets what he or she has done. We were defending ourselves. What are we supposed to regret? Should we regret defending ourselves? Should we regret that the Israelis killed one of us so we killed a different one of them? We have no regrets.”

Interviewer: “Do you know how many children were killed in the restaurant?”

Tamimi: “Three children were killed in the operation, I think. [Smiles.]”

Interviewer: “Eight.”

Tamimi: “Eight?! [Smiles.] Eight.”

THE PRETENDERS TO PERFORM IN TEL AVIV

BARRY DAVIS

Can a woman in her mid-60s still retain the persona of an attitude-oozing leatherwearing punk? If you’re Chrissie Hynde, the answer is yes, and you best get out of the way if you doubt it.

The 66-year-old Hynde seems remarkably similar to the young American expat music journalist who moved to England in the mid- 1970s and became caught up in the punk rock explosion.

It’s been 39 years since she joined that musical revolution by forming The Pretenders with three British rockers – Pete Farndon, James Honeyman-Scott and Martin Chambers – and establishing herself as one of rock’s all-time great band leaders, male or female.

“It was kind of a do-it-yourself time and it was really not about musicianship, it was about personality and attitude,” she told The Guardian last year. “I am very grateful to punk because I was a girl and I felt like if I got in a band I’d be kind of a novelty act, but punk was all about non-discrimination. No one cared, because it was punk, so you know anyone could do anything they wanted.”

One part tuneful pop and one part sassy tuff all fueled by a ferocious rhythmic attack and snarling vocals, The Pretenders were one of the few punk-era bands to cross over to mainstream success with two stunning albums, 1979’s self-titled debut and 1981’s Pretenders II.

By 1983, both Farndon and Honeyman-Scott had succumbed to drug overdoses, and 1983’s album Learning to Crawl saw Hynde reach even greater heights, summoning her grief and anger to create the band’s masterpiece. 1986’s Get Close, marking the advent of the Hynde solo show/Pretenders in name only era, spawned number one singles in “Don’t Get Me Wrong” and “My Baby,” with an even more accessible pop approach.

That approach reached its extreme on 1994’s Last of the Independents, when Hynde collared professional pop songwriters Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg to polish her rough edges and provide her with a slick power ballad, “I’ll Stand by You,” that proved to be The Pretenders’ last big hit.

Over the last two decades, through diminished exposure and sales from sporadic releases ranging from 1999’s Viva El to last year’s acclaimed Alone, Hynde, who branched out from her rock star role to become an outspoken animal rights and vegetarian activist, veered back to the more uncompromising, no frills sound she started with.

“The only thing I’ve ever offered the public is some music. If they like the music, that’s great, turn on the radio. If they don’t like it, switch it off. I have no other message, other than vegetarianism, which has always been exactly the same thing I said right from day one,” she told The Guardian.

In the same interview, Hynde expressed disdain for the mantles of musical success that have honored her, such a the Grammys and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, to which she and The Pretenders were inducted in 2005.

“I loathe the Grammys with a vengeance,” she said. “The whole idea of it, I don’t understand it, I don’t respect it, I don’t get it at all. I think it’s bullshit.”

Regarding the Hall of Fame, she added, “I call it the Rock and Roll Hall of Shit… It’s everything that rock ’n’ roll isn’t. It sort of desecrates the name of rock ’n’ roll.”

Hynde, along with original drummer Chambers and the rest of her band that have backed her over the last decade, reveres rock ‘n’ roll, something they will demonstrate when The Pretenders make their Israeli debut. Getting back on the chain gang will never have felt so good.

The Pretenders will perform on Saturday night, September 23, at the Menorah Mivtahim Arena in Tel Aviv.

Jewish Voice for Peace Ramps Up Attacks on Israel With Support of Rockefeller Brothers Fund

Two efforts to erode American support for Israel have been launched over the last six months by the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) with financial backing from the prominent Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF), The Algemeiner has learned.

Through its new #ReturnTheBirthright campaign, JVP is urging Jewish young adults to forgo a free, 10-day educational tour of Israel with Taglit-Birthright, “because it is fundamentally unjust that we are given a free trip to Israel, while Palestinian refugees are barred from returning to their homes.” Since its inception in 1999, Birthright has sent some 500,000 Jewish youths to Israel, with support from the Israeli government, the Jewish Federations of North America, and individual donors.

JVP’s latest initiative — kicked off as college students started their fall semester and registration opened for Birthright’s winter tours — came not long after the group rolled out its controversial “Deadly Exchange” effort in April. That campaign partially blamed cooperation between American and Israeli law enforcement officials for “discriminatory and repressive policing” against people of color in both countries, and condemned “US-based Jewish organizations” for “making this deadly exchange possible.”

The charge was strongly denounced by the Anti-Defamation League, a prominent Jewish civil rights group that sends senior US security officials to Israel for counter-terrorism training. The ADL noted that JVP used “language to describe American Jewish organizations that veers uncomfortably close to age-old antisemitic canards about Jews using their influence to undermine the societies of the countries in which they live.”

While JVP is not transparent about its funding network, the watchdog group NGO Monitor found that its biggest donor is the RBF, which began backing JVP in 2015 with a two-year, $140,000 grant. The fund awarded JVP a similar two-year grant for “peacebuilding” in June of this year, less than three months after JVP introduced its “Deadly Exchange” campaign.

“Recent JVP campaigns have morphed into direct and unmistakable antisemitism, which should lead funders like Rockefeller Brothers Fund to cease any contacts or support,” NGO Monitor president Professor Gerald Steinberg told The Algemeiner.

Ambassador Dani Dayan, Israel’s consul general in New York, tweeted on Sunday that he showed Stephen B. Heintz, the president of RBF, evidence that “they fund NGOs that condone terror & deny Israel’s right to exist. He couldn’t care less.”

“An organization that truly promotes peace and justice cannot keep the company of apologists and enablers of terrorism,” Dayan told The Algemeiner on Tuesday. “When the Rockefeller Brothers Fund promotes radical, fringe groups in the US and abroad, they become the problem they seek to fix.”

“JVP and Grassroots Jerusalem, among a number of other groups supported by the Fund, mask their violent and undemocratic goals in the language of social justice,” he added. “Promoting violence against Israelis, applauding those who commit acts of terror such as Rasmea Odeh (a Palestinian terrorist who helped plant a bomb in a Jerusalem market in 1969), and actively seeking the dissolution of our democratic state will achieve nothing but the continuation of the conflict.”

Repeated requests for comment from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund were unanswered by press time.
