Most people do not realise the danger that is looming. Too many of those with power and influence do not have a clue about history and human nature. Most believe that multi-culturalism or peaceful co-existence is possible between Westerners and Muslims on the scale we see. The influx of Muslims also continues. It is a march of folly*.

The plutocrats, bureaucrats and autocrats in Brussels want to be at the head of ever-larger structures, influencing more people in more ways. This is rather normal behaviour for ambitious people, politicians in particular. Most ‘ordinary’ people haven’t been asked anything. Most people do not have such wide and far-reaching ambitions, they just want to live a comfortable life in a trusted and known society. It is what people all over the world want. National and EU policies have disrupted the trusted and known society, only the (financial) comfortable remains. That is, for the time being. The other disruptions continue.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see the future. Look at any country ever, where large Muslim societies live. In few, if any, is there or has there been true harmony between Muslims and non-Muslims. It is not, repeat, not just a matter of Christian-Muslim animosity, or Muslim-Westerner animosity for that matter. Look at India, look at Thailand, look at Afghanistan -the Hindu-Kush province where no Hindus are to be found anymore. It is also not because Muslims are in a sort of genetic way inclined to be troublemakers. They are not some kind of weird species. It is their religion, which is the root-cause of the problem. Opportunistic people like Bin Laden or the many mad mullahs certainly do not help. All they do is accelerate the process.

Unfortunately, this view and these analyses are still something one cannot discuss freely. To speak out means being stigmatised as a racist, fascist or nationalist. The madness following a few cartoons of the self-proclaimed holy prophet was enough to almost set the world on fire but still people do not wake up. The few who are awake are as yet too few to be of sufficient influence to turn the tide. The Media blackout over the demonstration on the 25th of February, on Dam Square in Amsterdam, was a sign of ignorance and fear. People apparently are not yet ready to face reality. As a single event, the demonstration was a failure. Its message was mostly lost in false propaganda and disruptive violence from extreme-leftwing elements. Some extreme-rightwing elements also tried to give it a twist, which wasn’t there, nor intended. The demonstration was about the continued freedom of speech, against religious madness and solidarity with those who suffer from it. The few who were there for the right reasons, were the first of many. About that, I am sure. All I wonder is if it will be in time to prevent a catastrophe.

If we are dependant on the MSM to tell us how the American people feel, think or believe, it would seem we were all ready to pull burkas over our heads and start practicing saying ‘peace be upon him’ everytime we say the word muhammad.

But then. Leave it to the Vikings to be the ones to draw a line in the …. snow, if you will.
