The Far Right Is On The March Again: The Rise Of Fascism In Austria

In Austria's recent general election, nearly 30 per cent of voters backed extremist right-wing parties. Live visits the birthplace of Hitler to investigate how Fascism is once again threatening to erupt across Europe. [...]

Last September, Austria’s far right gained massive political influence in an election that saw the FPO along with another far right party – Alliance For The Future (BZO) – gain 29 per cent of the vote, the same share as Austria’s main party, the Social Democrats. The election stirred up terrifying memories of the rise of the Nazi Party in the Thirties.

And just as the Nazis gained power on the back of extreme nationalism and virulent anti-Semitism, the recent unprecedented gains in Austria were made on a platform of fear about immigration and the perceived threat of Islam. FPO leader Heinz Christian Strache, for example, described women in Islamic dress as ‘female ninjas’.

Emboldened by the new power in parliament, neo-Nazi thugs have desecrated Muslim graves. Recently, in Hitler’s home town of Braunau, a swastika flag was publicly unveiled.

The FPO wants to legalise Nazi symbols, while its firebrand leader has been accused of having links to far right extremists.

After the FPO’s election victory, Nick Griffin, leader of the British Nationalist Party (BNP), sent a personal message to Strache.

‘We in Britain are impressed to see that you have been able to combine principled nationalism with electoral success. We are sure that this gives you a good springboard for the European elections and we hope very much that we will be able to join you in a successful nationalist block in Brussels next year.’

The message followed on from a secret meeting last May in which a high-ranking FPO politician paid a visit to London for a meeting with Griffin.

The relationship between the FPO and the BNP becomes more worrying as I learn of the strong links between Austria’s political party and hard-line Nazis.

No matter how happy go lucky and multi-culti Europe seems, they're only ever one or two bad experiences away from grabbing their Darth Vader helmets and cleaning house... Book your boxcar back to Istanbul and Morocco now, before the rush...

Some Mexicans Leaving US, Planning Never To Return

All are leaving Colorado in time for Christmas — joining a traditional holiday migration that will number almost 1 million people, says Mexico's interior ministry. But they have no intention of returning to Colorado, a place that promised prosperity.

Layoffs, dwindling job opportunities, anti-immigrant sentiment and the crackdown on illegal immigrants are forcing hard choices on many Mexican nationals in Colorado. Though not an exodus, some are returning to a nation they haven't seen in years.

What do you know? An upside to the downside.

Muslims Bash Gay Man In London

A gay man has been left paralyzed after an attack in London:

A 15-YEAR-OLD has appeared in court charged with a "serious homophobic attack" on a gay man who has been left permanently paralysed from the waist down.

The teenager, who can not be named for legal reasons, spoke only to confirm his name and East Ham address at Thames Youth Court in Bow yesterday.

Dressed in a white hooded top and dark jeans, the Asian youth at one point held his head in his hands.

Police had earlier charged him with homophobic aggravated assault with intent, occasioning grievous bodily harm.

Was it a bunch of right wing thugs from the British National Party? No. Soccer hooligans out for a night of drinking and carousing? Nope. It was a group of Muslims - identified in liberal Brit parlance as "Asian youth" - that stabbed and beat the man. It's not just England either; attacks like this are becoming all too common in once liberal bastions of Western Europe which are being inundated by Muslim immigration. I would imagine this "Asian youth" is going to demand - as a matter of "human rights" mind you - that he be tried by one of Britain's new Sharia Courts - where his attempt to rid the world of another dirty infidel will be truly appreciated.

Everything Old Is New Again

The dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe. ~ Tom Wolfe (Referencing French Socialist Jean-François Revel)

Far Right Wins In Austria... Not the conservatives; the fascists:

The far Right has made a grand return in Austria, emerging from yesterday’s elections as the second biggest parliamentary block, according to preliminary results.

The two parties that campaigned on an anti-immigrant and anti-European Union ticket have captured about 29 per cent of the vote, pushing the country’s traditional conservative party into third place.

Heinz-Christian Strache and his Freedom Party, who were accused of xenophobia and waging an antiMuslim campaign, won 18 per cent — a rise of 7 per cent compared with the last elections. Mr Strache’s former mentor, Jörg Haider, won 11 per cent of the vote with his new party, the Alliance for the Future of Austria.

The mainstream parties recorded their lowest share of the vote since the Second World War, with the Social Democrats dropping 7 per cent to 29.7 per cent, while the conservative People’s Party won 25.6 per cent of the vote — a decline of 9 per cent compared with 2006. [...]

Analysts believe that the surge of the far Right reflects the voters’ dissatisfaction with the failure of the two mainstream parties to provide a functioning government. Their success also owes much to rising anxieties over immigration and the influence of the European Union.

Why? Melanie Phillips speculates:

The rise of these noxious groups is entirely due to the abandonment by social democratic parties of the defence of the nation and the right of individual peoples to their own cultures and self-government. The continuing rise of the BNP in Britain is overwhelmingly the outcome both of the fanatical Europhilia which masquerades as the centre ground while engaged on its project to destroy Britain as an independent nation, and the systematic destruction of British national identity and the demonisation of those Britons who object by the dominant left-wing elites.

The awful thing is that, as the far-right advances and social disorder increases – as it will -- muddled liberals and malign leftists will blame these political and social calamities on ‘the far right’. As a result, the steady encroachment of Islamism will proceed apace -- and anyone who objects will also be demonised as ‘the far right’. The rise of the neo-Nazis will thus turn the defence of democracy toxic. There is therefore a danger that the only people who will be fighting the Islamic fascists and in defence of the nation against the supranational supremacists will be the fascists.

Europe is walking the narrow peak of two slippery slopes - on one side is Islamization, on the other is their old familiar weakness for Darth Vader helmets and goosestepping over broken glass.

Losing... Losing... How Long Until It's Lost?

A follow-up to this post:

We Are Losing Europe To Islam

Is advocating freedom of speech "extreme" or "fascist"? Is opposing Islam's law, which knows no race, "racist"? Is supporting Israel (which these parties do far more than other European parties) "Nazi"? The outrageously empty epithets of the Islamo-socialist left seem calculated to stop thought cold and trigger a massive rejection reflex. In this way, resistance becomes anathema, and Islamic law, unchecked, spreads across Europe.

Does that sound "Islamophobic"? You bet. How can anyone who values freedom of conscience, equality before the law and other such Western jewels not have a healthy fear of Islamic law, which values none of these things? Incredibly, this is an emotion that is supposed to be suppressed -- and, in Europe, on pain of prosecution. Indeed, because Filip Dewinter admitted to such "Islamophobia" in an interview, his party, the Vlaams Belang, has been taken to court in Belgium on charges of racism, and, if convicted, will be effectively shut down through defunding by the government.

That hasn't stopped Dewinter, who, in accepting an award at a memorial event dedicated to Oriana Fallaci in Florence, last week, said: "Islamophobia is not merely a phenomenon of unparalleled fear, but it is the duty of every one who wants to safeguard Europe's future. Europe means Rome, Greece, Enlightenment and Judeo-Christian roots. Europe is a continent of castles and cathedrals, not of mosques and minarets."

Bit by bit - with chinks in the armor to allow for things that are very un-Western and very un-fair, such as accommodating Sharia law in Britain, under which British women are second class citizens:

There are concerns for women suffering under the Islamic laws, which favours men.

Mr Siddiqi said that in a recent inheritance dispute handled by the court in Nuneaton, the estate of a Midlands man was divided between three daughters and two sons.

The judges on the panel gave the sons twice as much as the daughters, in accordance with sharia. Had the family gone to a normal British court, the daughters would have got equal amounts.

In the six cases of domestic violence, Mr Siddiqi said the judges ordered the husbands to take anger management classes and mentoring from community elders. There was no further punishment.

In each case, the women subsequently withdrew the complaints they had lodged with the police and the police stopped their investigations.

What's wrong with a little Sharia law you say? For one thing, it doesn't know when to quit:

Muslim activists point out that allegedly similar Jewish family courts (Bet Din) and Catholic marriage tribunals have existed in Britain for many years, but there is a major difference: such courts explicitly claim jurisdiction only over their believers, whereas according to orthodox Islamic teaching shari’a is the only legitimate law in the world, with universal jurisdiction over Muslims and non-Muslims alike. To a devout Muslim the incorporation of shari’a into British law is by no means the end of the affair. It is merely a major milestone on the road that cannot stop short of subjecting all Britons, regardless of faith, to the strictures of Allah’s commandment and Muhammad’s example.

Forcing non-Muslim employees to remove images of pigs (you know, Wilbur, Porky, Piglet, Kirstie) from their desks:

NOVELTY pig calendars and toys have been banned from a council office in case they offend Muslim staff.

Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands, were told to remove or cover up all pig-related items, including toys, porcelain figures, calendars and even a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet.

Bosses acted after a Muslim complained about pig-shaped stress relievers delivered to the council in the run-up to the Islamic festival of Ramadan.

Muslims are barred from eating pork in the Koran and consider pigs unclean.

Councillor Mahbubur Rahman, a practising Muslim, backed the ban. He said: It's a tolerance of people's beliefs.

Demanding that non-Muslims observe Islamic holidays

Councillors have been ordered not to eat during town hall meetings while Muslim colleagues fast during the holy month of Ramadan.

All elected members at Left-wing Tower Hamlets Council in East London have been sent an email asking them to follow strict Islamic fasting during September no matter what their faith.

Simple respect for another faith? Uh, no. It's forced adherence to Muslim beliefs.

Read Dr. Sanity's post, The Religion Of Malignantly Narcissistic Entitlement And The Idiots Who Love Them For It:

All too often, the behavior and attitude we witness today from the practitioners of Islam--in Britain, France and most of Europe; as well as in the Middle East--has gone way beyond "rude" or "impolite", however; and more clearly belongs in the realm of "borderline" and "narcissistic" psychopathology. And the behavior of subservient leftists to Islam has gone way beyond "pandering", "appeasing", or "enabling", and belongs in the realm of active submission.

The inaptly named "Religion of Peace" (RoP) has all the hallmarks of a "Religion of Malignant Narcissism" (RoMN). Some of the more radical practitioners of this religion seem to think that it is their divine right (also called having a "sense of entitlement") to demand the world accede to their wishes at all times [...]

I am not talking here only about the "extremists", since many of these attitudes are apparently shared by even the so-called "moderates" of the religion; who, while they might eschew the more violent acting out, still arrogantly express the sense of entitlement and display not the slightest insight into their own intolerance and phobias regarding other cultures.

Europe is sliding down a slope from which it may not return. It's frightening. Truly.

All God's Chilren' Needs Cheeses!

Seriously? Mexican "Bathtub Cheese" Spreading Tuberculosis

A rare form of tuberculosis caused by illegal, unpasteurized dairy products, including the popular queso fresco cheese, is rising among Hispanic immigrants in Southern California and raising fears about a resurgence of a strain all but eradicated in the U.S.

Cases of the Mycobacterium bovis strain of TB have increased in San Diego county, particularly among children who drink or eat dairy foods made from the milk of infected cattle, a study in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases shows.

But the germ can infect anyone who eats contaminated fresh cheeses sold by street vendors, smuggled across the Mexican border or produced by families who try to make a living selling so-called “bathtub cheese” made in home tubs and backyard troughs.

And people wonder why I refuse to make trips to the third world. Why? When you can catch TB from them here?

P.S. As Juan "The Maverick" McCain would say: they're just making the cheese Americans won't make and spreading the diseases Americans won't spread! We'll never get that wall from him! :-)

Islamofascism Is Real And Dangerous

Iran Warns Netherlands Not to Air Controversial Anti-Muslim Film

A senior Iranian lawmaker warned the Netherlands on Monday not to allow the screening of what it called an anti-Islamic film produced by Dutch politician, claiming it "reflects insulting views about the Holy Koran."

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, promised widespread protests and a review of Iran's relationship with the Netherlands if Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders' work is shown.

"If Holland will allow the broadcast of this movie, the Iranian parliament will request to reconsider our relationship with it," Boroujerdi said, according to IRNA, the official Iranian news agency. "In Iran, insulting Islam is a very sensitive matter and if the movie is broadcasted it will arouse a wave of popular hate that will be directed towards any government that insults Islam.

Wilders calls his 10-minute film "a call to shake off the creeping tyranny of Islamicization, " and said it could air as early as this week on Dutch television.

"People who watch the movie will see that the Koran is very much alive today, leading to the destruction of everything we in the Western world stand for, which is respect and tolerance," Wilders, the 41-year-old leader of the right-wing Party for Freedom, said last month in a telephone interview with FOXNews.com.

"The tsunami of Islamicization is coming to Europe. We should come to be far stronger."

First of all, Mr. Boroujerdi, fuck you. Second, if you take a long, slow look around you might notice that the Netherlands isn't in Iran, and as such neither the people of Holland nor I care what you might find offensive in your dusty little corner of the 12th century. Finally, in the Western world we believe in freedom of speech and expression, which means we can criticize any religion we want, any way we want, any time we want. So stick your complaints in your Mullah-hole and shut up.

Now on to our own housekeeping. It does appear that ol' Geert may have stepped off the right side of the political spectrum himself, having called for the Koran to be banned. Still it's his right to express such opinions without the threat of violent retribution. But here's a warning of my own for the radical Muslims in Europe: the Europeans are always only about one vote away from a pogrom, and it doesn't take much to push Europe down that slippery slope...

It Doesn't Take Much To Push Europe Down That Slippery Slope...

Rightists strengthen hold on Swiss Parliament

After a campaign troubled by violence and widely criticized as racist, Switzerland's far-right Swiss People's Party strengthened its position as the biggest single party in Parliament on Sunday, according to initial electoral projections. [...]

The Swiss People's Party, or SVP, which campaigned on an aggressively anti-immigrant ticket featuring posters that showed white sheep kicking a black sheep off the Swiss flag, received about 29 percent of the vote and 61 of the 200 seats in Parliament, projections showed, up from 27 percent and 55 seats in 2003. It was comfortably ahead of the Social Democratic Party, which dropped from 23 percent of the vote to 19 percent and was projected with 43 seats, as opposed to 52 in the most recent Parliament.

The Muslims would do well to remember that Europe is always about one vote away from a pogrom. As the man said:

Nancy Pelosi Opposes Fence To Secure U.S. - Mexico Border

Pelosi Criticizes Border Fence

"I have been against the fence, I thought it's a bad idea even when it was just a matter of discussion," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "These are communities where you have a border going through them, they are not communities where you have a fence splitting them."

What does that mean folks? That means she sees no border, just millions and millions of potential Democratic voters. Screw U.S. sovereignty, tear down the border barriers and let the hordes come and go as they please.

Elvira Arellano Says U.S. "Broke The Law First"

Aug. 22, 2007. Elvira Arellano speaks to the Mexican Congress about her deportation from the United States. Elvira claims the U.S. broke that law first by 'allowing' illegal immigrants to pay taxes.

She's right about that of course, the United States has f-cked itself on the illegal immigration issue, but still, if a mugging victim once shoplifted should the mugger get a pass? If a murder victim once got a speeding ticket should the person who killed her be excused? I don't think so, Elvira.

Clubbing For Allah

Living in America we don't often hear of the same types of problems that come from non-assimilating Muslims in Europe. I wonder why? Anyway, there is apparently a big problem in European night clubs stemming from Muslim troublemakers who are unable to behave themselves according to Western mores and cultural standards; most often it's their utter lack of respect for women. Gates of Vienna has more on the problem here and here.

The overwhelming majority of problems in the discotheques can be related to young, Muslim immigrants. So says one of the owners of Australian Bar in Copenhagen, Tommy Petersen, who has appeared several times in media stories for rejecting immigrants. Tommy Petersen underscores that it has nothing to do with racism and discrimination:

“They are mostly unable to behave themselves because they don’t know, or will not respect, the norms and mores of the local nightlife,” he says.

Some discotheques made an agreement with the cops: They maintain a photo gallery of the “usual suspects” which makes it legal to reject matching faces. Others have established themselves as members-only, but the Muslims somehow figured that one out, so now they’re whining and seething about “racism” once more.

Fortunately, man’s best friend came into the play: by claiming an anti-drug policy some discotheques now place a “sniffer-dog” at the door. Poodles, bulldogs — whatever. It doesn’t matter: Muslims are afraid of being touched by dogs, so they leave the place without further ado.

While the Danes just pat the tail-wagging doggie on the head and walk right in.

Some of the tactics being used to keep them out of the clubs in Europe grate on my American sensibilities, but I can completely understand the club owners not wanting to deal with them. They don't spend money, they harass female customers, and they fight at the slightest provocation. What other option is there other than trying to keep them out of the clubs?

This issue of course is merely a symptom of Europe's greater problem. Unassimilated foreigners that will eventually out number the native Europeans. America should keep a close eye on Europe's woes and take action to keep it from happening here. It must be made absolutely clear that you will respect Western culture and you will assimilate, or you can go home to culture more acceptable to you. No other options. Period.

Cry Me A River Ahmed

Here's a link to a story by Angilee Shah on AlterNet. She really lays it on thick about how foreign students now feel unwelcome in the US because of the stricter standards imposed for getting and keeping a student visa after 9-11. Here are some tidbits from it:

Because so many of the terrorists entered on visas and were not screened in personal interviews, new laws require most travelers be interviewed. Interviews take a massive amount of manpower, which manifests itself in long waits for visa interview appointments with U.S. consulars around the world. For example, the Saudi Arabia consular advises travelers that they will face a minimum six-week wait, but security checks could take several months; in Seoul, the wait is, on average, thirty days.

I'm sorry if a wait inconveniences them, but there is something more precious at stake than their travel plans or education.

International students who are male and between the ages of 16 and 45 and from certain countries face another security clearance hurdle in Visas Condor. Among these countries are those considered "state sponsors of terrorism": Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria, and Sudan. A student or scholar can be subject to both Mantis and Condor and thus experience incredible delays. The Los Angeles Times cites the case of an "Iranian nuclear physicist" who took seventeen months (and a much-delayed academic plan) to get his student visa to come to the United States.

Why the HECK would we let an "Iranian Nuclear Physicist" come study in the US!

Recent University of California, Berkeley graduate, Imad Ahmed, is an English citizen who left Pakistan before his first birthday. Last December, at the advice of UC Berkeley counselors, he registered with the U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration in a program called NSEERS. The program required non-citizen males from twenty-five countries to come forward under the threat of deportation for noncompliance. Any male between 16 and 45 whose nationalities were from any of these countries had to register by May and April deadlines. Ahmed says that the experience was humiliating; officials took his photograph, fingerprinted him, and requested contact information for his friends and family in the U.S. He recalls a woman who was processing registrants; she said that if he missed a single deadline, "We'll come get you."

Yet NSEERS made Ahmed more fearful than embarrassed. He said that when special registration began, he "was waking up in cold sweats" and had many sleepless nights wondering about what would happen to him. His parents in England told him to keep a low profile; Ahmed did not really know how to do that. He was not speaking out about registration, but he says, "I was afraid to be on my own computer to look at [alternative news] websites. I was afraid that just by default, by being a Muslim and being an international student, I would be blacklisted." Of course, Ahmed was not referring to any specific list (there are so many lists (Visas Condor and Mantis, TAL, no-fly lists, etc.) -- but of an overall fear of the FBI and of a country that seemed to fear him.

I for one am tired of the silence of the so-called majority of Muslims who are "peaceful" and supposedly do not agree with the acts of barbarism committed in their name. To them I say: if you don't speak out against the islamofacist terrorists, then you support them. If you don't help root out the evil in your community, then you share their guilt.

My answer to Ahmed's night sweats, wailing and gnashing of teeth? Don't blame Americans for trying to protect ourselves from a known and quantifiable threat. Blame those who took advantage of us and turned our hospitality against us. For pete's sake BLAME THE TERRORISTS! Someone? Anyone?
