Rob Piccolli over on
Wind Rose Hotel
has an excellent post up on the “Premio Oriana Fallaci”, Geert Wilders
and the pernicious machinations of one of the most dangerous
organizations of our time: the Organization of Islamic Conferences
(OIC).
Some have suggested - amongst others the author of
"Eurabia",
Bat Yeor - that it is this massive lobby group that has pressured the
Amsterdam Appeals Court into indicting Wilders. It says something about
the politization of the course of justice that this morning's article in the Dutch paper
De Pers states that Wilders is being prosecuted for making "anti Islamic statements".
The text of the indictment is less straight forward, but it boils down to precisely that.
You can read a
digest on Articles at the moment and here's
the entire post. Here's one excerpt:
"(...)
The OIC is one of the largest intergovernmental organizations in the
world. It encompasses 56 Muslim states plus the Palestinian Authority.
Spread over four continents, it claims to speak in the name of the ummah (the universal Muslim community), which numbers about 1.3 billion. The OIC’s mission is to unite all Muslims worldwide (...)"
Here's a clip of Wilders in an interview with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News.
O'Reilly is challenging Wilders that "what good does
"Fitna"
do, since everyone knows by now that Islamism is a totalitarian
ideology". That's precisely the problem, isn't it? They should know and
could know, but
the psychological mechanism of denial kicks in so that they do not have to deal with a major threat!
If you want and care to keep abreast of the situation re the Third Jihad, there are a few new sites you might care to check out.
Vorzheva of the blog
World Challenges of the XXIst Century has taken the initiative of starting an aggregate of the counter-jihadist movement, the
Anti Islamist Coalition. You'll find such fine blogs as
Infidels Are Cool and
Muslims Against Sharia posting there.
Radical Islam.org is a great website, featuring for example Frank Gaffney, Jr exploring the pregnant question,
"Where are the Liberal Muslims?"
It stresses what we've been saying for some time. It just stands to
reason that those in the West who are dancing to the Islamic tune -
postmodernists, and
a plethora of Leftist groups (Dutch language link) - are actually
strengthening, aiding and abetting the radicals, not supporting the moderates. Th
ey are left out in the cold with nowhere to go.
Check it out! It's outrageous! Read the
comments too!
Wilders
interview with Glenn Beck underlines another hazard to watch closely:
the next stage in the disease called political correctness. Paired to
"prosecution for anti Islamic statements" we see there's the tendency
since the onset of Obama - and this is visible in Europe as well as the
US - that
opposition is somehow out of the moral order. This is dangerous stuff we need to keep a close eye on. Listen to Glenn!
Updating throughout.
