Germans Protest Islam, Leftwing Media Denounces Putin
By Julio Severo
On Monday, December 15, some 15,000 people in Germany took part in a demonstration labeled by the German press as xenophobic. The demonstration was held by the Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West (PEGIDA, by its German-language acronym), whose main objective is to oppose Islamic immigration from the Middle East and Africa. Since October, PEGIDA has held weekly rallies against Islam.
German chancellor Angela Merkel has condemned PEGIDA, declaring, There is no place in Germany for those who are instigating hatred against immigrants. She also denounced the protesters for racism.
According to Jihad Watch, Despite efforts by German politicians and the media to portray PEGIDA as neo-Nazi, the group has taken great pains to distance itself from Germanys extreme right. The group says that it is apolitical and that its main objective is to preserve what is left of Germanys Judeo-Christian culture and values.
PEGIDA has mobilized thousands of German citizens to take to the streets to protest the growing Islamization of their country.
The American and other Western leftwing media have become accustomed to criticize anti-Islam protests as racist. Yet, the German protests have, enigmatically, instigated the American Left to attack Putin.
Major American leftwing media outlets The Huffington Post and Bloomberg say that the anti-Muslim demonstrations are far-right and a strategy of the Russian President Vladimir Putin. In contrast, Jihad Watch, a group that monitors Islam and its advances in the West, has validated the demonstrations as an attempt to defend Judeo-Christian culture and values in Europe. Jihad Watch is praised by conservative WorldNetDaily.
Bloomberg says about PEGIDA, Putins strategy seems to be to build up a fifth column of far-right parties in Europe willing to cooperate with the Kremlin.
Even in Brazil, the leftwing media has denounced Putin as a KGB agent.
If you think that what is happening is madness, consider Stephen Suleyman Schwartz, the author of the anti-Putin and anti-Russia article in The Huffington Post. Schwartz is the director of the Center for Islamic Pluralism. His father was Jewish and his mother was a Protestant who was a member of the Communist Party in America. Even so, he managed to convert to Islam.
Now, with his vast (mad) experience he is defending Islam in Europe against anti-Islam conspiracies from Putin.
He denounces that PEGIDA anti-Islamic demonstrations have slogans like Frieden mit Russland! Nie wieder Krieg in Europa! (Peace with Russia! Never again war in Europe!) and Putin, hilfe uns! (Putin, help us!).
Then Schwartz says, Many observers may see in PEGIDA no more than another example of the new populism in Europe. But an anti-Islam, pro-Russian alliance is dangerous for its advocates. Alignment of Russian ambitions and German discontent has been seen before: in the Stalin-Hitler pact of 1939, which allowed Germany to conquer most of Europe before turning on Russia. Germans should be wary about these issues.
Don Hanks, an American expert on Russian language and culture, notes Schwartzs exaggerations: This author is either hopelessly naive or, more likely, a shill for the transnational elites who want to control the universe from Washington. It is beyond absurd to warn that an anti-Islam alliance smacks of Nazism. Hitler had an alliance with Muslims, especially the Mufti, against the Jews and these Muslims also killed hundreds of Christian Serbs for good measure. The pro-Russian alliance that Hitler entered into was with an atheist and communist who had absolutely nothing in common with Putin, who promotes Orthodox Christianity, and was not even a Russian (Stalin was Georgian)! The utter irony of this is that the most dangerous alliance in the world today by far is US-NATO-EU. So far the EU has taken over over 28 countries and absorbed them. Thats not expansionism? (Oops, I forgot, its exceptionalism). The first EU Commissioner was Walter Hallstein, a nazi who wrote the Pride and Blood law forbidding Germans to marry Jews. A Nazi professor in the Third Reich wrote the blueprint for the EU, as described by UK authors Rodney Atkinson and Edward Spalton. All journalists should be required to take a test in Russian history and culture, and should have an IQ of at least 80. That would eliminate a lot of this disinformation. It would be good if more readers used their heads for something other than a hat rack as well.
Even though PEGIDA has been portrayed as racist and extremist by the leftwing media, Deutsche Welle has said about PEGIDA demonstrators: the majority are completely normal people. Of course, theyre not people who usually vote Green, or the Left party, or the SPD [Social Democrats], but theyre not extremists.
PEGIDAs motto is We are the people! (Wir sind das Volk!), the same slogan used by East Germans to bring down the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Even so, the Left is implicating PEGIDA in Putins alleged communist conspiracies.
If Putin were really a communist agent, would they be implicating him in conspiracies with conservatives in Germany?
In the Soviet times, the American leftist media faithfully attacked America and praised the Soviet Union. Just to be clear: the Left always protects the Left.
In the current situation between America and Russia, the American Left and even the Brazilian Left protect America and attack Russia.
Are there more socialists in America than in Russia?
Don Hanks has another explanation: Left and right is irrelevant these days when it comes to Putin. Russophobia is de rigueur if you want to get ahead in politics and media these days.
Nowadays, incredibly ultra-nationalism has united American left-wingers and right-wingers against Russia. American right-wingers hate Russia for its communist past and because Russia is the only nation able to challenge minimally the U.S. supremacy around the world.
American left-wingers hate Russia for its present conservative laws and because the Orthodox Church is heavily involved in the government affairs. The Left hates Church and government together!
If Putin wants the American Left to love and defend Russia again, he should do more than Obama has done: to embrace Marxism, Islam and gay ideology. And to expel the Orthodox Church from his government. Afterwards he should try to convince the Western media that he is more Marxist than Obama is. He should say to them, Look, now I have allowed gay parades in Moscow and I have revoked the ban on homosexual propaganda to children. Now Russian children will be exposed to all kinds of homosexual sexual activity. Besides, I proclaim that Islam is a religion of peace, just as Obama does! What about now? May you at last love me and Russia again?
Yet, Germans should not be deterred by American leftist propaganda, especially The Huffington Post and Bloomberg, which preache that anti-Islam opposition is a Putins conspiracy. And even if it is so, an anti-Islam conspiracy is better than an pro-Islam conspiracy. There is information that Obama has been championing Marxism and Islam. He is their greatest advocate. Does this secret that explain why Obama is loved and Putin is hated by the Western mass media?
Nevertheless, we should not miss the point that the biggest threat to Europe today is Islamic immigration. Islam intends to change Europe, by destroying what is left of its Christian culture and establish an Islamic dictatorship.
Whoever helps Islamic expansion in Europe is an enemy of Europe. Whoever helps save Europeans from the incoming Islamic dictatorship is not an enemy.
The Western media interpret who the enemy is. This is why they praise Obama and attack Putin.
My view? I think that whoever defends Europe from Islam deserves support. I would support even the pope in this just cause. But, sadly, Pope Francis has said that equating Islam with violence is wrong, essentially agreeing with Obama that Islam is a religion of peace.
If there is hope for Europe to escape Islamization, will it come from Obama or the pope?
The real point is not if Obama, the pope and Putin are attacking or defending Islamization of Europe. The point is that European natives have a right to reject Islamization without being labeled racist.

Putin’s economic policies are centralized state control and corruption with defunct economy riding on oil and gas revenues. It is a mafia state. In Heritage economic freedom index Russia is ranked as “mostly unfree” at 140th place in the world out of 178.

You pretty much nailed it.
I would only go one step further to say it is not only muslim immigration that people are getting fed up with, but also with all sorts of other third-worlders that are nothing but a burden on Western societies.

The main sponsor of worldwide Islamic terrorism is Saudi Arabia, where NO Christians are allowed to exist. Now, tell us: who is the main ally of Saudi Arabia? Oh, by the way, you will say Russia! Saudi Arabia gave the world Osama bin Laden and 10 terrorists who committed 9/11.
To: Krosan
The contrast is: Russia is an oligarchy with no love for Islam or homosexual activism.
America is an oligarchy with lots of passion for Islam and homosexual activism, indoctrinating the world about Islam as a religion of peace and imposing the homosexual agenda around the world.

It’s a stretch to claim that the United States somehow supports terrorism through Saudi Arabia. We look the other way with them, but we’re not supporting their machinations. It’s also a stretch to blame everything on the Saudis. According to KGB/FSB defectors, the Muscovites even have their paws into Al-Qaeda and many other terrorist organizatiosn across the world. It is the Russians actively supporting and even creating terrorism. From a previous post of mine:
From Alexander Litvinenko, FSB defector who was poisoned with Polonium 210 awhile back in London. His poisoner is still at large. The Russians refuse to extradite the only suspect. He talks about international terrorism, including the claim that Al-Qaedas number 2 (now number 1, with Osamas death) is an agent of the FSB:
A. Litvinenko: The bloodiest terrorists in the world were or are agents of the KGB-FSB. These are well-known, like Carlos Ilyich Ramiros, nicknamed the Jackal, the late Yassir Arafat, Saddam Hussein, Adjalan (he is condemned in Turkey), Wadi Haddad, the head of the service of external operations of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Hauyi, the head of the communist party of Lebanon, Mr. Papaionnu from the Cyprus, Sean Garland from Ireland and many others. All of them were trained by the KGB, received money from there, weapons and explosives, counterfeit documents and a communication equipment for carrying out of acts of terrorism worldwide.
FAKT: Some may object that each of the listed figures, and the forces supporting them, were engaged in solving their own political problems.
A. Litvinenko: Certainly, all these figures and movements operated under their own slogans; however, none of them especially hid their intimate ... relationship with the Kremlin and Lubyanka. There is a simple question: whether the Russian special services would train and finance people and groups that were not supervised by Lubyanka and did not serve the interests of the Kremlin? You understand perfectly, they would not. Each act of terrorism made by these people was carried out as an assignment and under the rigid control of the KGB of the USSR. And [the terrorism] ... is not casual after the disintegration of the USSR and [reform of the KGB]....
FAKT: Every terrorist you have named is from the old staff of the KGB. Could you name someone from recent history?
A. Litvinenko: Certainly, here it is. The number two person in the terrorist organization al Qaeda, who they are crediting with the series of explosions in London, Ayman al-Zawahiri, is an old agent of the FSB. Being sentenced to death in Egypt for terrorism and hunted by Interpol, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in 1998, was in the territory of Dagestan, where for half a year he received special training at one of the educational bases of the FSB. After this training he was transferred to Afghanistan, where he had never been before and where, following the recommendation of his Lubyanka chiefs, he at once ... penetrated the milieu of bin Laden and soon became his assistant in al Qaeda.
FAKT: Could you hint at least, where this data comes from?
A. Litvinenko: I can. During my service in one of the most secret departments of the FSB, top officials from the UFSB of Dagestan, who had directly worked with Ayman al-Zawahiri ... were called to Moscow and received high posts.

The contrast is: Russia is an oligarchy with no love for Islam or homosexual activism. That's ridiculous. In Russia, youngish looking conscripts are raped by their officers and often blackmailed and sold into sexual slavery, and this protected by the regime. As for Islam, this absurdity has already been well covered in other posts.
You are trying to compare the United States, a country in the middle of a culture war, with Russia, that started the culture war to begin with, and is a country worse than Sodom.

KGB is like CIA. Its impossible to have leftist in Capitalist America CIA? Of course its possible. You're comparing one of the worst criminal organizations in the history of the world, a group that is responsible for the deaths of millions of people, to the CIA?

Who funded the birth of the Soviet Union? Who funded the overthrow of the Russian czar?
Why did the 1917 American Red Cross Mission to Russia include more financiers than medical doctors? Rather than caring for the victims of war and revolution, its members seemed more intent on negotiating contracts with the Kerensky government, and subsequently the Bolshevik regime. In a courageous investigation, Antony Sutton establishes tangible historical links between US capitalists and Russian communists. Drawing on State Department files, personal papers of key Wall Street figures, biographies and conventional histories, Sutton reveals: the role of Morgan banking executives in funneling illegal Bolshevik gold into the US; the co-option of the American Red Cross by powerful Wall Street forces; the intervention by Wall Street sources to free the Marxist revolutionary Leon Trotsky, whose aim was to topple the Russian government; the deals made by major corporations to capture the huge Russian market a decade and a half before the US recognized the Soviet regime; and, the secret sponsoring of Communism by leading businessmen, who publicly championed free enterprise. “Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution” traces the foundations of Western funding of the Soviet Union. Dispassionately, and with overwhelming documentation, the author details a crucial phase in the establishment of Communist Russia. This classic study - first published in 1974 and part of a key trilogy - is reproduced here in its original form. (The other volumes in the series include “Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler” and a study of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “1933 Presidential election in the United States”).

Billy Graham said, America is just as wicked as Sodom and Gomorrah. And often he mentions, If God doesnt punish America, Hell have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. Billy Graham wasn't paying attention to the 20 to 60 million people murdered in Russia, on top of a regime that was the first (and still is) capital of abortion.
