November 04, 2005 Eurabia on the rampage The Muslim riots in Paris have now been going on for eight nights. How is Britain reacting to these disturbing events just across the English Channel, four months after its own wake-up call from last Julys bombings? With almost total indifference, since far from having woken up Britain is still sleep-walking in its own little trance. Media coverage has been sporadic and downplayed, and the disturbances have been portrayed as caused by deprivation and race. The fact that the rioters are Muslim has been mentioned, if at all, only in passing. But in Denmark, as Viking-Observer has reported, Muslims have also been rioting for days in Arhus, apparently over the publication of cartoons satirising the Prophet. The cartoons were in turn a response to the difficulties encountered by a children's writer, Kare Bluitgen, who couldnt find an illustrator for his book on the Koran and the Prophet's life since all the artists he approached feared the wrath of Muslims if they drew images of the Prophet. The daily Jyllands-Posten which published the cartoons reported:
Rosenhøj Mall has several nights in a row been the scene of the worst riots in Århus for years. This area belongs to us, the youths proclaim. Sunday evening saw a new arson attack. Their words sound like a clear declaration of war on the Danish society. Police must stay out. The area belongs to immigrants...We have planned this for three weeks. In line with routine contemporary moral inversion, in which the perpetrators of violence are excused and their victims blamed instead by an alliance of Muslims and western decadents (Britain was blamed for the July bombings of its citizens because of Iraq) the French authorities are being blamed for fanning the flames of discontent by discriminating against the countrys Muslims. Should we also blame the Danes for refusing to accept self-censorship and asserting their own values of freedom of expression? Is every country to be held responsible for the jihad being waged against it - despite the fact that in every case the alleged provocation is different rather then responsibility being properly assigned to those who have declared war upon the free world?
Much of the coverage of the Paris riots has blamed the policies of Frances Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy for abandoning French Muslims inside squalid ghettoes and failing to integrate them. But as Robert Spencer points out, it is the Muslims themselves who insist on not being integrated. In her book Eurabia, Bat YeOr details
a series of agreements between the European Union and the Arab League that guaranteed that Muslim immigrants in Europe would not be compelled in any way to adapt to the customs of the host countries. The European Union has implemented such recommendations for decades so far from playing down the differences between ethnic groups, they have instead stood by approvingly while immigrants formed non-assimilated Islamic enclaves within Europe. Indeed, as Bat Yeor demonstrates, they have assured the Arab League in multiple agreements that they would aid in the creation and maintenance of such enclaves. Ignorance of the jihad ideology among European officials has allowed that ideology to spread in those enclaves, unchecked until relatively recently.
Consequently, among a generation of Muslims born in Europe, significant numbers have nothing but contempt and disdain for their native lands, and allegiance only to the Muslim umma and the lands of their parents birth. Those who continue to arrive in Europe from Muslim countries are encouraged by the isolation, self-imposed and other-abetted, of the Islamic communities in Europe to hold to the same attitudes.
The Arab European League, a Muslim advocacy group operating in Belgium and the Netherlands, states as part of its vision and philosophy that we believe in a multicultural society as a social and political model where different cultures coexist with equal rights under the law. It strongly rejects for Muslims any idea of assimilation or integration into European societies: We do not want to assimilate and we do not want to be stuck somewhere in the middle. We want to foster our own identity and culture while being law abiding and worthy citizens of the countries where we live. In order to achieve that it is imperative for us to teach our children the Arabic language and history and the Islamic faith. We will resist any attempt to strip us of our right to our own cultural and religious identity, as we believe it is one of the most fundamental human rights. AEL founder Dyab Abou Jahjah, who was himself arrested in November 2002 and charged with inciting Muslims in Antwerp to riot (Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt said that the AEL was 'trying to terrorize the city', has declared: Assimilation is cultural rape. It means renouncing your identity, becoming like the others.
What is now taking place in Paris is merely an intensification of what has been going on since long before the electrocution of the two youths which prompted the current disorder. And the scale of it is astonishing; Sarkozy told Le Monde that
...twenty to forty cars are set afire nightly in Paris restive Muslim suburbs, and no fewer than nine thousand police cars have been stoned since the beginning of 2005. Multiculturalism, the doctrine that governs Britain and Europe and which grew out of a war upon their values from within by allowing the values of minorities to trump the majority, has been applied by the west to appease an ideology that has declared war upon its values from without. The poulets have now come home to roost in France, but the message for the rest of us is just as ominous.

dang..I don't know how to post a pic..:(
I guess then multi-culturalism = Jihad.
Does this mean nobody wants to adopt the french or german cultures? I'm shocked, no really; I thought everyone longed to be a europussy

"[Western elites] are living a lie, basing the future of their societies on the assumption that all groups of people are equal in all respects." -- Charles Murray
Then why leave the Middle East? It would be far, far better for you to stay there, than to destroy the Europeans from within.
In their own words, herein lies the strongest reason I can think of for the Europeans to send the Muslims home now! Is living in Europe a fundemental human right?
If the Europeans fail to act, they'll surely be out-bred and overwhelmed. Their culture will die with them.
Ping to another good piece from Melanie. Here's more on recent, related events in western Europe--events that didn't get as much press.
