Dewinter’s speech in Cologne

And if it is necessary, then for a third time we should also force Islam back to the place it belongs, namely the far side of the Mediterranean Sea.
—unnamed Austrian Bishop, quoted by Filip Dewinter

Below is an English translation of Filip Dewinter’s speech at the anti-Islamizaiton Congress in Cologne on May 9. Here is a video.

By the way, I fail to detect a single note of fascism, let alone Nazism, in Dewinter’s speech, or even a hint of a hint of a note of fascism or Nazism. But what do I know? According to Charles Johnson, and he’s the expert, I’m a Nazi myself. See my discussion of the thread at LGF last year where he agreed with a commenter who called me a Nazi and expelled longtime LGF commenters for defending me from the charge that I am a Nazi.

Dear friends, first I would like to thank you for being here, and for your courage in taking part today in this Stop Islamisation demonstration.

For a long time I had been convinced that the dictator had been beaten down in Germany in 1945, and that democracy had won.

I was mistaken. In practice, a right-wing dictator has just been swapped for a left-wing dictator.

A National Socialist dictator was replaced by a politically correct, multi-culti dictator.

And the violence, the attempts to silence us, the smears of ‘racism’ and ‘fascism’ against respectable citizens who are opposed to the Islamisation of their town, that is unacceptable to Cologne and to Germany.

Dear friends, multiculturalism is the Islamic Trojan horse, and mass immigration has led to our European identity and civilisation being threatened, and multiculturalism has also led to the loss of our pride in our own cultural identity and uniqueness.

The Islamisation of Europe spreads further every day, yet almost no one dares to protest through fear of the intellectual and psychological terror from the Left.

Friends, Islam is like a cuckoo which lays its eggs in the European nest, and multiculturalism forces us to nurture these Islam-eggs. The eyes of the political elites will only be opened when they are pushed out of the nest.

Yes, mass immigration from the third world threatens our identity and our standard of living.

Yes, Islam wants to dominate all of Europe, and it uses mass immigration as a terrifying weapon

Yes, Islam is incompatible with many aspects of our Western European civilisation, our norms and values.

The multi-culti society in western Europe leads to cultural apartheid, to cultural ghettos where local ayatollahs are in control. In these ghettos the European norms and values are not recognised, and the locals have to suffer most of the ensuing lawlessness. Multi-culti societies are basically conflict-societies, and “multicultural” equates to “multi-conflict” and “multi-criminal”.

Friends, our misplaced tolerance is undermining our own ability to defend ourselves, and makes it impossible for us to protect ourselves against catastrophic foreign influences and domination.

The immigration-tsunami opens the gates of our continent to backwardness, poverty and under-development.

The anti-racists denounce every attempt to hold onto our own cultural identity and cultural uniqueness.

The multi-culti mindset, under the mask of equality and tolerance, is leading to the colonisation of Europe by Islam.

[shout from crowd “We don’t want it!”]

Friends, we find ourselves at a crossroads, either we let this situation continue which will lead to the Islamisation of Europe, to a kind of Eurabia, or we say a radical NO to radical Islam, and we make it clear to the Islamists that their ideology does not belong in Europe.

Our response should be strong, clear and aggressive, and I would like to quote the Austrian Bishop who said :

“Charles Martel forced Islam back at Poitiers in 732 , and in 1683 near Vienna, Islam was again forced out.

“And if it is necessary, then for a third time we should also force Islam back to the place it belongs, namely the far side of the Mediterranean Sea.”

Friends, it is clear in any case that the Left-wing intellectuals and politicians behave increasingly as collaborators with Islam, and through the multi-culti society and mass immigration they are pushing for Islamic domination over us.

The ideologues of the 1960s have, through decades of leftism and progressivism, developed a “down with us” mentality. In their masochistic desire for self-destruction, they have made sure that any opponents of the huge immigration invasion are seen as racists. Today we see that Leftist so-called intellectuals even prefer to form an alliance with the radical representatives of Islam, rather than to repudiate their multi-culti delusions.

Perhaps, dear friends, we should send the collaborators on a fact-finding trip to Nigeria, to Saudi Arabia, or to Gaza, so they can be well informed as to how Islam itself deals with such collaborators.

Dear friends, Cologne is today the capital of the European resistance movement against the Islamisation of Europe.

We do not want any Koran-schools, nor Islamic centres or mosques on every street corner.

We are tired of the women in burkas and chadors, an insult to every emancipated woman.

We are tired of the Arabic and Turkish writing on the front of shops, windows, and products.

We are disgusted by the ritual slaughter of animals.

We do not want any Islamic symbols or food or hijabs in our schools.

We want the Islamisation of our towns and districts to stop

Europe, my dear friends and comrades, is indeed a continent of castles and cathedrals, and not of minarets and mosques.

[end of speech.]

The conference in Cologne, protesting the erection of a huge mosque there, was the same conference to which Robert Spencer apparently accepted an invitation to speak, then denied that he had accepted it, and said he would not go, for reasons that are still murky, as I discussed here and here.

This hunt for fascists in our own backyard resembles an elderly couple whom I know personally. The lady used to be a school teacher. She is fond of reading sexually explicit literature, which she calls “being in tune with life.” Her husband is a very conservative-speaking person, though he is unable to harm a fly. He dislikes his wife’s habits but can’t do anything against her. For her part, she hates him with all her soul, though she completely depends on his earnings. It seems that he is her main enemy, that her main aim is to win him over. According to her, he is a fascist, a beast, a tyrant. All that is complete nonsense because she actually does what she wants.

She is very a liberal-speaking lady, though she is an immigrant from Russia and was not brought up in the U.S. Thus I conclude that her liberalism is her personal development. Interesting is that her liberalism is not in politics, but in their family life. Why does she hate her tough-speaking but really very kind and reasonable husband? I think it allows her to blame on him her personal problems and her inability to control herself. Actually, he has to keep putting a limit on her unlimited wishes, and she, who lives on his money, hates him for that!

Looking at her, I started to believe that liberalism is a state of mind of a passionate soul who cannot control herself. I believe that if her husband were really cruel, she would behave herself and maybe even would be happier. That’s why liberalism can finally lead to totalitarian rule.
