Excerpt from Geert Wilders, Speech to Swedish Free Press Society, Malmö, October 27, 2012.
Because Sweden has the same problem as the
Netherlands, Denmark and the rest of the Western world. We are all in
the same boat. Our freedoms are in danger. Our political and
often leftist media establishment turns a blind eye to the largest
threat to liberty in our present age. This threat is called Islam.
Islam commands its followers to
establish a worldwide Islamic state, where everyone has to live
according to the Sharia, the barbaric law of Islam. And where Islam’s opponents are being marked for death.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn used to say that
the truth is “seldom sweet; it is almost invariably bitter.” But the
truth should be heard. The bitter truth that Islam is the largest threat
to freedom today. And the unpleasant truth that Islam is already all
around us.
The sign of Islam’s presence is visible in all our European cities.
Also in Malmö. Especially in Malmö.
25% of the population here originates from
Islamic countries – the highest rate in the whole of Scandinavia. That
is why it is good to be here. In this great city, which deserves better
than it currently gets.
Even the international media have written
stories about the outbursts of violence, the gang warfare, the shootings
and bombing of police stations in Malmö. In a city like this our
message needs to be heard: Malmö should not succumb to Islam. Malmö
should remain what it was throughout its history. A decent, peaceful and
safe place for people to live, work and raise a family. A free city.
In Malmö we must turn the tide. And show
the world that the Islamization process can be stopped. That is why I am
here. It is a coincidence that today marks the final day of this year’s
hadj, the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. This is a symbolic moment to
tell you that it is time to turn the tide. And to tell you that it can
be done. But in order to turn the tide, we must first stop pretending
that there is no problem as so many journalists and politicians tell
you. We must first face the truth. We must first speak the truth. So
that others will know it too.
Before I continue, however, let me make
one thing absolutely clear. Whenever I criticize Islam I am falsely
accused by some people with false intentions of hating people. In order
to avoid any misunderstandings, let me state clearly that I criticize an
ideology, not people. I do not hate nor do I want to harm any human
being. I totally reject the use of violence.
In fact, the most important reason why I reject Islam is its violent nature
and the fact that it is harmful to people, including its own adherents,
whom we should pity rather than hate, and whom we should help to
liberate themselves from the evil monster which is Islam.
I have travelled the Islamic world
extensively. I have visited countries such as Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia,
Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Indonesia. In my book “Marked for Death”
you can read how I was overwhelmed by the kindness, friendliness and
helpfulness of many people there. They are often good people, but they
are captives of Islam.
I always make a distinction between
Muslims and Islam. Most Muslims are moderate, most Muslims are
non-violent, but the ideology of Islam is dangerous. The moderates are
the captives of the barbaric system of Islamofascism. There is no
moderate Islam. Islam is only a religion to a very limited extent. It is
predominantly a dangerous ideology. Islam is political rather than
religious: It aims for an Islamic state. Islam is totalitarian. Islam is
not voluntary. It orders that people who leave Islam must be killed.
Contrary to real religions, it also lays obligations on non-members.
Islam is dangerous because it calls on its
followers to imitate Muhammad, the so-called prophet, as closely as
possible. The life and deeds of Muhammad are well known from
contemporary sources.
Islam’s own sources tell us how evil
Muhammad was. They show us that he was a liar, a rapist, a paedophile, a
torturer, a mass murderer.
Because Muhammad abused women, some followers of Islam believe they are entitled to treat women in the same way.
Because Muhammad lied and cheated in order
to advance Islam, some followers feel entitled to do the same. Islam
even has a word for this kind of lying. It is called taqqiya.
Because Muhammad killed his opponents, some of his followers feel entitled to do the same.
Because Muhammad robbed non-Muslims, some of his followers feel they have the right to do the same. This is called jihad.
A few years ago, one of your Swedish
newspapers interviewed the sociologist Petra Akesson after she had
conducted a study of Islamic youths here in Malmö. Akesson pointed out
that these youths have been raised in a culture that extols Islamic
supremacy. As a consequence, a significant number of them regard their
criminal activities against non-Muslim infidels as right, justified and
permitted.
It is our duty to expose Muhammad,
this 7th century barbarian who wrote a book which he said had been
dictated to him by an angel from a book written by Allah in heaven. The
people from his own hometown of Mecca knew Muhammad. They said he was
crazy. An angry Muhammad emigrated to Medina which he conquered through
taqqiya and jihad. Later he returned to Mecca and conquered it with his
troops, eradicating its tradition of openness and religious tolerance.
Everywhere where Islam has gained a foothold, it has brought tremendous human suffering.
Not all Islam’s followers behave like Muhammad would have done. But
some of them do. The more Islam you get into your country, the more
violent and intolerant it becomes, and the less freedom you will get.
Read it all and check out the Jihad in Malmo website that has
been on our international blogroll for several years to see the real
horrors that go on there every day.
