Europeans Warn America of Civilizational Jihad

Religious Freedom
Coalition, by Andrew Harrod, PhD. March 25, 2016:
Do not let what has happened in Europe and Britain happen to America, stated Paul
Weston, leader of the small British rightwing party Liberty GB, on March 3 at the
Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Weston along with the Danish writer
Lars Hedegaard warned in apocalyptic terms against an influx of Islamic immigration
during a Center for Security Policy (CSP) panel before a standing room only audience of
about 60.
After Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffneys introduction described a not
so much nonviolent as pre-violent Islamic civilization jihad, Hedegaard stated that
Europe as we knew it is just a few years away from a complete breakdown. He
discussed an ongoing influx that would last several years of millions of economic
immigrants to Europe, people who on the basis of past experience with Muslim
immigrant communities have proven to be impossible to integrate. According to the
European Unions (EU) Eurostat, Weston noted, 80 percent of these migrants come from
outside Syria; among them there is only a small minority who can claim to be fleeing
from war, Hedegaard concluded.
Hedegaard discussed these migrants crossing the EUs southern member state borders
and then traveling towards the EUs northern members like Denmark and Germany with
their generous welfare systems. You cannot maintain a welfare system under these
circumstances, he stated, as immigrants rip off the native population whose parents
and grandparents toiled to create this kind of society. He termed the EU a master con

artist for having violated a promise to guard the EUs outer borders given in exchange
for the abolition of EU-member state border controls under the Schengen agreement.
Hedegaard foresaw such Islamic immigration creating a checkerboard of various
enclaves that will not have much to do with each other except for intermittent low
intensity warfare. The writ of the law will not run throughout the national territory as
so-called no-go areas develop where state authorities such as police and first
responders will enter only with great caution. Europe has not seen something like this
coming international war between one culture and another culture since the 16-17
century wars of religion between Catholics and Protestants.
th

Weston likewise recalled discussing with British intellectual Roger Scruton how the
growth of Islamic communities in the United Kingdom would end in civil conflict involving
improvised weapons like bricks. It is going to be cataclysmic, Weston stated. In the
end, Scruton predicted that non-Muslim Britons are going to win but we will not be the
same good, moral, decent, just people that we were because of what we will have to do.
Weston already worried about the United Kingdoms fertile Muslim population that
currently numbered 3.2 million after having increased from 200,000 in the 1970s. As
they grow they start demanding more, he said, they back this up with terrorism and with
jihadIslam pushes and our government buckles according to the meaning of Islam as
submission. Meanwhile, after heavy Muslim migration in recent decades, Sweden is
literally a lost country and the rape capital of the European continent, only exceeded
globally in rape rates by Lesotho in southern Africa.
Europol, the EU police agency, gave Weston further concern with estimates that 5,000
jihadists were among the million migrants recently entering Europe. He stated that two
of the November 13, 2015 Paris attacks were migrants (actually, all were European
citizens, although some had trained in Syria and pretended to be refugees when
returning to Europe). Accordingly, when the next inevitable attack happens, European
politicians will have the blood of the murdered and the blood of the maimed on their
hands.
Both Hedegaard and Weston expressed frustration with European political leadership.
From country to country, it doesnt make any difference what party you vote for in terms
of changing policy direction, Hedegaard said. Weston discussed how British Muslims
can claim welfare benefits for four wives although polygamy is illegal, meaning our own
government is paying to colonize Britain.
Hedegaard discerned Leftist designs in liberal immigration policies. After losing the Cold
War, the Left wants

to break down our democracy and national cohesion by other means. They couldnt do it
by means of the working class, because the working class left them. Now they want to
import the so-called new proletariat that will never become integrated in bourgeois
society and on the basis of which they hope to be able to gain the power that they could
not get as hardline socialists.
By contrast, Donald Trump would absolutely love it in Europe at the moment, because
there are walls and fences being built all over the place, Weston noted with respect to
renewed national immigration controls. Mention of Trump caused Gaffney to express
approval of a moratorium on Islamic immigration into the United States until various
security questions found a solution. It causes offense to some, I grant you, but its an
eminently sensible approach, he said. We have enough jihadists here already. We
actually dont need to increase their numbers.
Yet Center for Security Policy Executive Vice President Jim Hanson, who had built
schools, dug wells, and conducted immunization programs for Muslims as a Green
Beret, differentiated between the panelists concerns and prejudice. You will first be
called a hater and an Islamophobe, he stated for anyone concurring with the panel.
Islam is accepted as a religion in the United States, he distinguished, but Islamic
sharia is not a religion; it is a totalitarian ideology that includes religion to which not all
Muslims adhered.
Hedegaard and Westons dire description of valid European problems mimic French
dystopian fiction, but the pairs personal encounters with European hate speech laws are
real (see here and here). Yet for the hard-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the
pairs opposition to these laws simply gave one more reason to condemn CSP for giving
a CPAC venue to these two racists. Americans who wish to discuss Islam without
inhibitions often presented by prosecutorial dangers in Europe should heed Westons
warning: Make sure that you retain your First Amendment rights.
