As always happens when presented with the consequences of their actions, the liberal political élites squirm and let the cries of ‘intolerance’ and ‘xenophobia’ cover their shame. Leading economist and central banker Thilo Sarrazin has a history of telling truth to power – and his frank opinions on the shocking facts about Muslim immigration in Germany -and the wider Islamisation of Europe, presented in a book and at a recent interview – are no exception:

Are Muslim immigrants a drag on German prosperity? A new book by provocateur Thilo Sarrazin, a board member of the German central bank, argues that they are. His over-the-top comments have triggered yet another debate on immigration in the country.

Thilo Sarrazin has never been one to mince words. The German central bank board member and former senior city official in Berlin has long been a strident critic of German immigration policies, even going so far as to say in an interview last autumn that immigrants sponge off the state, are incapable of integrating themselves into German society and “constantly produce little girls in headscarves.”

In the interview, which appeared in the cultural magazine Lettre International, he also said that “a large number of Arabs and Turks in (Berlin) … have no productive function other than in the fruit and vegetable trade.” In the same interview, he claimed that the Turks were “conquering Germany … through a higher birthrate.” Read the rest of this entry »

March to power? Wilders addresses party members

Plotting Dutch Liberals despise him, but they can’t ignore his popular mandate:

THE HAGUE – Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders will have to be consulted on every decision the next government makes if a provisional agreement on forming a new cabinet reached Friday is finalised, an expert said.

An analyst told AFP the agreement would in fact mean Wilders having a strong voice in government decisions as he would have to be consulted on each issue.
Talks on forming a new cabinet ended late Friday with further discussions scheduled to firm up the accord from next week. Read the rest of this entry »

Over 500 people gather at Port of Oakland in bid to prevent Zim ship from unloading in protest of Gaza flotilla raid. Organizers say dockworkers have agreed not to show up to unload vessel.

Flotilla protest reaches California: Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered at the Port of Oakland before dawn Sunday in a bid to prevent an Israeli cargo ship from unloading for the day.

Richard Becker from the ANSWER Coalition, one of the groups which organized the protest, told the San Francisco Chronicle: “Our objective was to boycott this ship for 24 hours, and we succeeded in doing that.”

The newspaper reported that the demonstrators first gathered before dawn at Berth 58, where a ship from Israel’s Zim shipping line was scheduled to dock Sunday, first in the morning then in the afternoon. It eventually arrived around 6 pm, Becker said, but by that time the dockworkers had agreed not to show up to unload the vessel.

Is Islam going to affect all aspects of education in Britain and the rest of the civilised world?

Is there nothing that the cold, clammy tentacles of the Religion of Peace™ is not touching in the lives of secular, democratic nations?

The teaching of evolution is becoming increasingly difficult in UK schools because of the rise of creationism, a leading scientist is warning.

Head of science at London’s Institute of Education Professor Michael Reiss says some teachers, fearful of entering the debate, avoid the subject totally.

This could leave pupils with gaps in their scientific knowledge, he says.

Prof Reiss says the rise of creationism is partly down to the large increase in Muslim pupils in UK schools. Read the rest of this entry »
