Maybe the tide really is turning.
I remember when, in the late '60s and the '70s, hardline socialist and communist groups were still struggling to get their message accepted in Europe and the West generally. They were a tiny minority then, and their agenda seemed very far-fetched and out-of-synch with ordinary people and mainstream views.
It also looked liked it was going to remain that way. When, later on, I heard them screaming "Free Nelson Mandela", I didn't think it was going to happen. And now we know: it has happened, and much more than that has materialised.
Political correctness, which is nothing else but cultural Marxism, has become mainstream, indeed the orthodoxy and the dominant ideology.
As things turned one way in a manner that a few decades ago seemed impossible, thay can wery well turn the other way, even if we find it difficult to believe now.
In Italy, 100,000 people protested against illegal immigration, Islamisation and the European Union earlier this month at a Lega Nord (Northern League) rally in Milan.
In Germany, last Sunday about 4,800 people took to the streets of Cologne. The protest was planned by Hooligans gegen Salafisten (Hooligans against Salafists), abbreviated as HoGeSa, who had previously organised similar demonstrations in several German cities, including Essen, Nuremberg, Mannheim, Frankfurt and Dortmund. Their name derives from the fact that they belong to rival football fan clubs and are now banding together through social media.
More than 5,000 people had registered their attendance to the Cologne march on Facebook, claiming to travel from around Europe. At the event, there were clashes with the police and a thousand of counter-demonstrators. Several policement were injured.
A new demo is programmed in Berlin for 15 November and another in Hamburg, but there is talk that they may be banned. From Reuters:
The hooligans - as they term themselves - want to stage a protest against ultra-conservative Islamic Salafists at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate on Nov. 15, a week after the capital celebrates the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.Another componenet of this continental movement of resistance is Cities against Islamisation . Initiated as far back as January 2008 by Filip Dewinter of the Flemish independence party Vlaams Belang, it is a pan-European alliance that includes Austria, Belgium, Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain.Berlin's senator for interior affairs Frank Henkel told ARD television he had heard talk of 10,000 people wanting to attend.
"We will do everything we can to ban the demonstration," said Henkel. "We are experiencing a new quality, a new dimension of street violence and militancy. (In Cologne) it was clear from the start that it was not about a political statement but seeking physical clashes, especially with the police."...
Salafists advocate a puritanical form of Islam and the BfV [Germany's domestic intelligence agency] says their numbers in Germany are rising, along with the number of potential recruits for Islamic State.
The BfV estimates that 450 people have travelled to the region from Germany to join radical jihadist forces.
Hi Im forming a group to be know as Freepers Against the Islamification of the USA.
A little late there Europe
NO ONE going to Church in Europe for DECADES!! They REAP what they SOW!!
Day late, dollar short.
Sounds like Germany may be, no surprise there. The Netherlands has been turning against Islamofascism, and there are glimmers here and there (the “offensive” cartoons were published in, I think, Denmark). But overall, no, Europe isn’t doing any such thing. Scotland’s referendum on “freedom” was 90+ percent backed by the Eurabians in Glasgow; Sweden has surrendered; the Labour Party in the UK wants to surrender; France too has threatened to recognize “Palestine”; and don’t forget, Turkey is partly in Europe.
Until they start having a lot more kids, none of these marches will matter in the long run.
Maybe if America can bring down the commie ‘RAT empire, we can rise up against the Islamoterrorists too.
No it is not.
It is easier for Europe to reverse the Muslim onslaught than it is for the US to slow it down.
I talked recently to a friend in Italy about this. Understandably she is worried but, I almost fell off the sofa, she said she counts on the Americans to save Europe from the threat of Islamism. This from a person who has always been very vocal in characterizing the United States as warmongers and imperialistic. I guess to save her life, we are suddenly good and their only hope. She doesn’t realize that the United States of today is not anymore what it was in WWII. She loves Obama and thinks Bush was the devil incarnate....
I’d tell her to save her own damned ass and it’d be the last time I spoke to her.
The Euros have two choices: 1) deport the Muslims back to their countries of origin or 2) kill them all. There’s no such thing as a “moderate” Muslim.
