Von Schwerin claims that “it’s his [Sarrazin’s] basic thesis that appears the most questionable, in which he claims that all the Muslims’ social and economic problems can be blamed on their religion — or as the second part of his book’s title states: “How Islam Impedes Progress and Threatens Society.” Nowhere does Sarrazin make the […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Thilo Sarrazin Confounds His Critics with Common Sense (Part III)
Anyone who has ever been to Istanbul, Granada or Cairo can only be astonished to read Sarrazin’s declaration that “an independent Islamic building culture never developed.” Anyone who knows Iran’s impressive Naqsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, can hardly agree with his statement that Muslims do not know anything “about urban […]
9/11: Seventeen years have passed, and no end is in sight
It is seventeen years after 9/11, and stating the motivating ideology of the people who took down the Twin Towers and attacked the Pentagon is taboo. The establishment media coverage glossed over it. Delving in it beyond the idea that the hijackers had hijacked their own religion as well as four airplanes will get you […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Thilo Sarrazin Confounds His Critics with Common Sense (Part II)
Ulrich von Schwerin accuses Sarrazin of claiming that the Qur’an is “obsessive” about sexuality. Look at the many Qur’anic passages in Part I that are about sex. Isn’t that list — which is not even exhaustive — enough to convince the fair-minded that Sarrazin’s observation is true? Von Schwerin then implicitly attacks Sarrazin for claiming […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Thilo Sarrazin Confounds His Critics with Common Sense (Part I)
Here is a hostile review by one Ulrich von Schwerin, a freelance writer based in Istanbul, of Thilo Sarrazin’s just-published Feindliche Übernahmen (Hostile Takeover), which is a sequel to Sarrazin’s best-selling Deutschland schafft sich ab (Germany Abolishes Itself), published in 2010. The first book’s theses on integration and immigration sparked a heated debate in Germany. […]
UK cops “keeping an open mind as to motivation” of hijabbed Muslima screaming “Kill! Kill! Kill!” who stabbed man
The fact that this woman was wearing a hijab is left out of the Journal story below; you can find it in the Daily Mail. And of course police are “keeping an open mind as to the motivation” of this woman. They have long since decided that Islam is peace and that there is no […]
Video: Nigel Farage grows flustered, stalks out of interview when questioned about the jihad threat
Australian human rights activist Avi Yemini interviews Nigel Farage and reveals his abject ignorance of Islam and the jihad threat. Note Farage’s absurd moral equivalence in claiming that the Old Testament is incompatible with Western values in the same way that the Qur’an is. The difference is that the Old Testament has been part of […]
Video: Germans complain to politician about dangers from Muslim migrants, she calls them Nazis
This is what a society in steep and rapid decline looks like. Note the anguish of the German citizens and the politician’s bored indifference, followed by the Nazi accusation. Clearly the German elites have no interest in hearing complaints from people about the favoritism they’re showing to Muslim migrants, and how they turn a […]
German interior ministry: “This may not please Ankara,” but we need a “German Islam”
Good luck with that. Look how well a similar call is working out in France. There will never be a German Islam or a French Islam, but there may well be an Islamic Germany and an Islamic France. And no, Ankara will not be pleased, and will soon be back around with new threats and […]
UK judge tells jihadi: “You’ll have plenty of time to study the Qur’an in prison…the Qur’an is a book of peace”
Has Mr Justice Haddon-Cave ever actually read the Qur’an? Almost certainly not; otherwise he wouldn’t have gone on record with this spectacularly asinine and counterfactual statement. Is the Qur’an really a book of peace? “And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than […]
