The Netherlands Are Lost to the West

This article from the Timesonline (UK) reads like a spy novel from the Cold War.:

We should fear HollandÂ’s silence
Islamists are stifling debate in what was EuropeÂ’s freest country, says Douglas Murray

‘Would you write the name you’d like to use here, and your real name there?” asked the girl at reception. I had just been driven to a hotel in the Hague. An hour earlier I’d been greeted at Amsterdam airport by a man holding a sign with a pre-agreed cipher. I hadn’t known where I would be staying, or where I would be speaking. The secrecy was necessary: I had come to Holland to talk about Islam.
It's not just a question of a large, easily offended Muslim population either, nor just the danger of homicidally unhinged Muslim radicals like the one who murdered Theo Van Gogh. Islamism is organized and very dangerous in The Netherlands. Over a year ago I exposed 357Hosting.com, a Dutch-based webhosting company that specialized in jihadi/terrorist websites (incidentally, scooping Newsweek by a month, but would those weasels give me a link? No-o-o-o), and the only real change is that 357Hosting was driven underground, purportedly operating out of Gaza now.

Another chilling aspect of the Times story is that writer Douglas Murray sees the same process, albeit at an earlier stage, in Great Britain:

This may seem fantastic to people in Britain. But the story of Holland — which I have been charting for some years — should be noted by her allies. Where Holland has gone, Britain and the rest of Europe are following. The silencing happens bit by bit. A student paper in Britain that ran the Danish cartoons got pulped. A London magazine withdrew the cartoons from its website after the British police informed the editor they could not protect him, his staff, or his offices from attack. This happened only days before the police provided 500 officers to protect a “peaceful” Muslim protest in Trafalgar Square.
Holland is essentially lost, some of the Danes are awake, but the UK, even after the evidence of the 7/7 London bombings is still catering to the most belligerent among their Muslim population.

This is not happy news.

1 Unless something dramatic and quite possibly bloody happens within the next 20 years, Europe will continue its ever decaying orbit around history's drain. The thing is, they have the power to stop it. The people are not violently oppressed by their governments and thus lack the excuse that Iraqis could have once made or that people like Libyans and Zimbaweans could make now to justify living with their current situation. They see the downward spiral, something only they can fix, but choose to do nothing about it. Watching things get worse on a daily basis sends my blood pressure skyward.

3 European freedoms are not the same as the American counterparts. Their "freedoms" are narrowly defined privileges as prescribed by the state. These privileges are always under-review and modification. Many Americans would be surprised that so much they take for granted is illegal or restricted in Western Europe. There is a lot there that would be unconstitutional here. Its their countries so I usually don't bitch until some here start confusing us with them. Did you all ever wonder why Libs & Leftists here in America as so fascinated and enthralled with much of Western Europe? Did you think it was just fashions and music? Europeans aren't really obsessed with "liberty" because their primary obsessions are actually "libertine". Their comfort, the status quo, and personal pleasure is what's important to them foremost. If they can work out a deal with muslims while maintaining whatÂ’s most important to them - they will. Don't cry for them - they may seem weak - but they are not. They pass themselves off today as progressive, enlightened and peaceful peoples - but they have a long history of ruthless savagery, viciousness and brutality. They have dealt with "minorities" in the past (ethnic, racial, religious, political etc.) - and not that long ago! Its one of the reasons why so many of them fled to here as immigrants - you all don't think it was done on a lark now, do you? The Europeans need the muslims for a number of reasons - primarily because the Europeans aren't breeding. When they decide the risks outweigh the benefits - the muslims are gonna be screwed.

4 >>>but they have a long history of ruthless savagery, viciousness and brutality. Yes, but Liberalism/Leftism specializes in deballing people. These twisted ideologies are country killers. That's what Leftism was designed for-- to kill the very notion of nation state. When I say Leftism is like an AIDS virus, I mean it literally.

5 Perhaps the most disheartening aspect of that story is that the response by the governments in these European countries is to look at enacting new laws prohibiting speech that Muslims might find offensive. That's the first step towards Sharia law. It's also part of the 20 year plan Muslims have to take over America: http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2006/02/radical-islams-20-year-plan-to.html P.S. Thanks for the linkage. It gave me the opportunity to come over and appreciate the good stuff you are doing.

6 Hondo, I doubt it. Europeans have been brow beaten with if they dare say that they have any value they'll be called nazis, typical statement by leftists. Yes, leftards will get violent but not against muslims, they'll get violent against their own not against murderous thugs of islam. They didn't then Van Gogh was murdered by muslims manaics I now think if the daughter of the cartoonist ends up raped, beaten or killed by muslim maniacs they'll do again what comes best to leftards. They'll "understand it" and see that the victim was really the bad guy and the perps where the "victims of society." leftards are truelly a twisted group of mental cases and the mutcases run the asylum now.

7 As I've oft-stated in various ways, we're going to have to kill them in epic numbers very soon.
