“Amazing, citizens who don’t want a mosque in Cologne are treated as ‘far-right’ loonies and denied their choice of beer.”
And Cologne’s political leadership happily welcomes the muzz Trojan horse into its city walls. Europe’s leadership is suicidal.
I don’t want illegals or muslims overruning this country and I’m treated like a far right loony by my own party.
Over 3,000 police officers have been deployed to maintain peace and security in the otherwise tolerant city.

For a nation that started 2 WORLD WARS, how much more “tolerance” can the krauts take?
“Far-right protesters were gathering in the German city of Cologne this weekend to attend a three-day anti-Islamification congress” amid fears of possible clashes with Muslim minorities as well as German leftist groups.”

The LeftMedia playbook only allows alleged “right-wing” groups to be described as “Far Right”, while even the most idiotic, destructive Left Wing criminals are simply described as “Leftist”, like their perenially diseased perspective is merely some winsome, benign political leaning.
The ongoing, disgusting worldwide media bias, across the board, needs to be addressed at the foundation; that is, in the terminology utilized, the basic entering assumptions and the initial framing of the issues.
Actually, you can think of the European insurgency as being more of an anti-Trojan horse. Muslims know that European birth rates are below replacement rate, and are racing to outbreed the locals.
Peaceful until the moose population reaches 11%!
Hey, why don't Germans want Cologne to look like Paris?
Hey, the Germans (and other Europeans) were only too happy to INVITE them in to do their odd jobs. It’s only fair they should have a place to worship.
This would be like the USA saying Mexicans can’t build any Catholic churches.
“Pro-Cologne is separate from Germany’s far-right parties, but state police have put it under surveillance.”
Does this mean all non-left or right parties are bad or under surveillance? WTH is this?
Have you ever tasted Koelsch? It's no great loss.
The one time I was in Koeln, I rather enjoyed the local brew...
Srdija Trifkovic, Foreign Affairs Editor of Chronicles Magazine and author of “Sword of the Prophet” and “Defeating Jihad” was testifying at the Hague in the Karadzic case. Anyway, the prosecuting attorney tried to make him out to be some “right-wing anti-Muslim bigot”. He did not succeed. Gave me a good laugh, reading it today.
Here’s the testimony:
Q. All right. In your article dated January 26, 2007, “Dinesh the Dhimmi” and that was published in Chronicles Magazine, you say … “Now, think how amazing this is. Has it ever happened in this country - I’m not talking about some totalitarian country, but America - has it ever happened that a prominent intellectual called on leading writers on a subject of major importance to stop writing what they are writing because it would offend someone?” That’s your question. You answer it. “No, this is has never happened before. It has never happened before because it is only in response to Mohammedinism that westerners adopt the posture of preemptive surrender which Bat Ye’or calls mental dhimmitude. Of all the social, ethnic, religious, political movements in the world, only Islam has the ability to evoke this eagerly cringing attitude. Only Islam has this faculty of inducing people to surrender psychologically to it even before it has any actual power over them.” You believe that, right?
A. Well, in fact, this is Bat Yeor’s quote, but I agree with it, that in fact the self-censorship that the elite class of the western world exercises when it comes to misogyny, violence, and the active attempt to change the liberal nature of the western society in order to accommodate the views and beliefs that are not shared by the overwhelming majority of the host population is, indeed, unprecedented. I think that the level of self-censorship witnessed in connection with Muhamed’s cartoons, for instance, or with the non-reporting of the dark side of family violence among the Muslim diaspora in western Europe and so on reflects this fundamental truth: that if there is any other social, ethnic, religious, or political movement that is guilty of such transgressions, for instance, deep-Southern evangelical Christianists, or in terms of ideologies, members of either far left or far right movements, the level of public indignation of the media class and of disclosure and unmasking of the facts of the case would be far greater.
I think that it is not even particularly unique nowadays to complain of this tendency to self-censorship. You will find it in articles by Stein or by Robert Spencer, by — in fact, it is beginning to come from both the left and the right, that one does not help either the continuation of the liberal character of the western society or the integration of the Islamic community to gloss over the unpleasantness that is all too often present. And yet, the media editors prefer not to dwell on it because not only is it tricky; it can be physically dangerous as unfortunately, I said almost Vincent van Gogh - the documentaries van Gogh found to his peril on the streets of Amsterdam not a million miles from here a few years back.
Q. In your article… dated 27th February, 2002 “Islamic Terrorism In Italy: The shape Of Things To Come” […] It says: “In Britain today where Islam controls the inner cities...” Now, I’ll grant you this article was written in 2002. Now, when you make this reference to inner cities and Islam controlling inner cities, do you have any particular cities in mind?
A. Well, this is actually something that needs qualification. The inner cities does not refer to areas not inhabited by Muslims, but on the other hand, there are significant areas of some inner cities, specifically Leeds, Bradford, Birmingham, Leicester, parts of east London, parts of other industrial cities in the midlands, such as Wolverhampton and also in Yorkshire that, indeed, exist de facto communities under their own Islamic-based rule. You will not find alcohol in any of the shops, you will not find video stores that would offer material not to the liking of the adherents of Mohammed’s faith, and you will find that there is a great deal of pressure on local people to conform to such an extent that even young Britons of Pakistani origin are very keen to leave such areas if they do not subscribe to the cultural assumptions and the lifestyle prevalent in them. Again, to those of us who know circumstances in Britain, this I think is neither particularly new nor, indeed, remarkable.
Q. Well, Mr. Trifkovic, with all due respect, that’s known in some circles as commercialism. One does not sell what another will not buy, and that’s why you don’t find these things in certain shops in all kinds of places around the world.
A. At the same time, those who would try to test the market for alternative products which are not offered would soon find his shop window smashed and his physical security jeopardised, and that is —
Q. And that’s what we call the mafia, and that exists all over the world, too, Mr. Trifkovic.
A. No, not if it is not motivated by commercial interest but by ideological convictions of the perpetrators, which by the way is similar to what is it happening in France where young girls who in similar suburbs of eastern banlieus of Paris do not wear the head scarf, risk getting something called the “smile,” which is a knife slash that goes from the angle of the lip to the lower earlobe. So no, it is not the Mafia; it is fanaticism.
Q. Let me ask you this question. If we could go to page 5. You see that paragraph that leads “Meanwhile across the Channel...”… You write in this paragraph: “In Germany, the highest Court in the land ruled in January 2002 that Muslim butchers should be allowed to slaughter animals according to Islamic practice by slitting their throats and letting them bleed to death and without stunning them first in any way. German law says animals cannot be slaughtered without first being stunned, but the constitutional court has now overturned it. The head of Germany’s Islamic counsel Hassan Hosjogan [phoen] declared that this will be an important step in the integration of Muslims in Germany.” You then write: “If and when the constitutional court allows a clitoridectomy for Germany’s Muslim girls, presumably another important step will be made, but that integration will be complete only when Pakistanis in Britain, Algerians in France, and Turks in Germany turn the host country into an Islamic society by compelling it to adapt to their way of life.” You wrote that, right?
A. Yes.
Q. And you believe it?
A. Believe what specifically?
Q. Well, you believe that the only way that a Muslim person can integrate into a Christian society is by turning the Christian society into one that is based on Islamic law, right?
A. I’m not saying it, it is the Islamic activists that are saying it: that the only end-product of their activism is the complete triumph of Dar al-Islam over Dar al-Harb; and if you doubt that this is indeed the self-proclaimed objective of each and every Islamic activist in the world, given the sufficient time I would be more than happy to supply you with ample quotes that may settle the matter beyond any doubt. This is not suggesting that all Pakistanis in Britain, Algerians in France, and Turks in Germany are sharing such views. In fact, specifically for the Turks in Germany I would say it is, indeed, a minority. But I’m suggesting and I still stand behind this view: that making legal exceptions and exemptions for a religious group in order to accommodate its particular demands only feeds appetites for further demands, which are ultimately unlimited in scope and nature.
Q. Well, thank you very much for that, Mr. Trifkovic. I do appreciate your candor.
A. Thank you.
Q. I have no questions for you.
I either stick to the wine, or go for a Bitburg when there. I never have had a taste for Koelsch.
