A Answer To A Jordanian U.N. Bureaucrat

A Muslim calling himself "the U.N. high commissioner for human rights" has prepared a rant against the Western politicians who oppose the Islamization of Europe together with North America. He gave the speech communication at the Hague yesterday.

A total transcript is available together with volition appear below, too. Let me answer to that diatribe.

Dear Friends, I want to address this brusque controversy to Mr Geert Wilders, his acolytes, indeed to all those similar him – the populists, demagogues together with political fantasists.

Geert Wilders is a Dutch lawmaker with no executive ability correct now, fifty-fifty though his Party for Freedom has a pregnant take away chances to win the adjacent elections inwards 2017. It is weird for a U.N. official to unmarried out an innocent Dutch citizen every bit a target of his personal attacks. Should nosotros sympathize it every bit a novel U.N. policy to non bad innocent yet politically inconvenient individuals inwards Europe?

Perhaps, the fact that the speech communication was given at the Hague is supposed to live an explanation why the U.N. official targeted a Dutch political leader together with tried to intervene into the internal Dutch domestic affairs. However, the U.N. official should alone come across the Hague every bit a neutral house that hosts some of the international organizations similar to the organizations that employs the official himself. This location doesn't give him the moral correct to intervene into the Dutch domestic political affairs.

The Dutch internal politics is non your business, Mr Hussein, just similar the internal politics of State of Kuwait was non the concern of your Iraqi namesake. You may object that in that location is a divergence because Saddam has already been executed piece you lot are nevertheless walking together with talking. But the divergence betwixt the 2 of you lot could live just 10 years.




Needless to say, the words "acolytes, populists, demagogues, together with political fantasists" are just propagandist slogans supposed to audio negative. The people realizing the importance of similar issues every bit Wilders' allies, non acolytes, together with they are political realists.




The U.N. official continued:

To them, I must live a classify of nightmare. I am the global vocalization on human rights, universal rights; elected past times all governments, together with straightaway critic of almost all governments.

I don't know whether Geert Wilders remembers the identity of this U.N. official but I don't. He's a bureaucrat with the charisma of a moisture rag. I haven't memorized his contrived cite together with I uncertainty that I volition e'er memorize it. I won't re-create together with glue his cite hither because it would seem similar a dishonest exertion of mine to pretend to know many to a greater extent than "details" than I do. I never shout out back whether he's from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, or the United Arab Emirates.

This U.N. official wasn't genuinely "elected past times all governments". There are no "elections with governments every bit the voters". There are just some obscure rituals inwards which non everyone tin dismiss run together with random representatives of random countries, most of which are either economically screwed or dictatorships or both, endorse some random somebody every bit the principal of 1 U.N. subsidiary or another. To live chosen inwards this agency is absolutely no argue to live proud – it's a argue to live ashamed.

I defend together with promote the human rights of each individual, everywhere: the rights of migrants, asylum seekers together with immigrants; the rights of the LGBTi community; the rights of women together with children inwards all countries; minorities; indigenous persons; people with disabilities, together with whatever together with all who are discriminated against, disadvantaged, persecuted or tortured – whether past times governments, political movements or past times terrorists.

I don't know whether he defends the rights of all these extreme left-wingers' privileged groups. What I am sure is that this private doesn't defend the rights of hundreds of millions of citizens of Europe together with North America such every bit Geert Wilders – together with indeed, all of those who are similar to Geert Wilders. He doesn't defend the correct of attractive European women who hear to music from their smartphones to pepper spray an Arab savage who physically suggests that they're prostitutes just because they are attractively dressed.

He doesn't defend the patriots who realize that it's a responsibleness to inherit our countries from our ancestors, many of whom had to struggle against Turks together with other non-European invaders inwards the past. He doesn't defend the rights of hundreds of millions of atheists who realize that Allah is a pile of junk together with who don't desire to furnish to the Middle Ages when people were harassed for denouncing stupid religious superstitions. He doesn't defend the rights of the type of people whom Europe has belonged to for some 2000 years together with America for some 500 years.

I am a Muslim, who is, confusingly to racists, also white-skinned; whose woman raise is European together with father, Arab.

It's great that he brags to live white. At to the lowest degree the people who consider this private to live an anti-Western savage together with bigot who shouldn't live allowed to larn inwards Europe won't live defendant of racism.

And I am angry, too.

There are practiced reasons why intelligent European voters may prefer calm together with rational politicians such every bit Wilders instead of angry savages.

Because of Mr Wilder’s lies together with half-truths, manipulations together with peddling of fear. You see, 20 years agone I served inwards the United Nations peacekeeping forcefulness during the Balkan wars – wars so cruel, so devastating, which flowed from this same mill of deceit, bigotry together with ethnic nationalism.

Personal attacks against Mr Wilders are omnipresent inwards the official's diatribe. I won't accolade them with additional responses.

Balkans has been a "multicultural" territory for many, many centuries, together with that's why – along with the nations' Southern temperament – why in that location receive got been savage wars over in that location for centuries. With its wars together with other tensions, the Balkans may live considered a purpose model for whatever territory that becomes similarly "multicultural".

Geert Wilders released his grotesque eleven-point manifesto alone days ago, together with a calendar month agone he spoke along similar lines inwards Cleveland, inwards the United States. I volition non repeat what he has said, but in that location are many who will, together with his political party is expected to do good inwards the elections inwards March.

There's cypher to answer to over here.

And yet what Mr Wilders shares inwards mutual with Mr Trump, Mr Orban, Mr Zeman, Mr Hofer, Mr Fico, Madame Le Pen, Mr Farage, he also shares with Da’esh.

I am proud that our president Miloš Zeman has made it to the shortlist of 7+1 world's politicians who oppose the Islamization of Europe together with North America. If Karel Schwarzenberg had been elected instead, the Czech land would belike live considered a welcoming appendix of Angela Merkel now. Instead, Central Europe has iv representatives alongside Hussein's 8. Not bad. All of them are from the "large" countries of Austria-Hungary.

Incidentally, inwards his dissatisfied reaction, President Zeman said – alongside other things – that he was alarmed that a high U.N. official intervenes into the elections inwards the U.S. inwards this way. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 great point.

The claim that there's a similarity betwixt these 7+1 Western politicians on 1 side together with Daesh on the other side is cypher else than a childish insult. They're similar because all of them do some politics. But so does this U.N. official. But the political values that these 7+1 Western politicians defend are real dissimilar – together with maybe diametrically opposite – to those defended past times Daesh.

All seek inwards varying degrees to recover a past, halcyon together with so pure inwards form, where sunlit fields are settled past times peoples united past times ethnicity or organized religious belief – living peacefully inwards isolation, pilots of their fate, complimentary of crime, unusual influence together with war. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 past times that most certainly, inwards reality, did non be anywhere, ever. Europe’s past, every bit nosotros all know, was for centuries anything but that.

The basis together with Europe has never been a perfect paradise. But most of the European countries were de facto complimentary of the problems that are caused past times the existence of whole communities from real dissimilar cultures, such every bit the Muslim communities.

Just an example. My country's history is oft presented every bit a savage 1 that has gone through all possible kinds of hurting you lot tin dismiss imagine. But this is just a one-sided tendentious distortion. The province was happily living inwards peace for many centuries, with a few exceptions that had a real limited bear upon on the civilians.

Those were doing fine inwards recent centuries. The fights of the First World War largely avoided us. Twenty years of democracy, humor, together with music followed. The Nazi work was politically constraining together with fatal for tens of thousands of Czechs inwards resistance but the mass of the province continued inwards its productive peaceful life. The existent state of war was genuinely fought hither for a few days inwards May 1945 only.

And the decades of peaceful communist stagnation followed afterwards. I don't desire to review the history so allow me larn to the main point. The single-cultural paradise described past times the official – the liberty from Islamic attacks together with harassment past times Muslims together with their arrangement – has non alone been existent on our territory for to a greater extent than than 1 K years.

This paradise genuinely nevertheless exists inwards Czechia, despite the efforts of sure nasty people who would similar to Islamize Czechia, too. People don't receive got to live afraid of listening to MP3 players, drawing funny caricatures of Prophet Mohammed together with his virtual boss, occasionally showing themselves topless, drinking to a greater extent than beer per capita than whatever other land inwards the world, smoking some marijuana when they experience it's a great fourth dimension for it, together with so on. An overwhelming bulk of Czech women together with men receive got never been harassed or groped past times a Muslim or woken past times a screaming from mosque or anything of the sort.

Czech Republic nevertheless is the real-world paradise that the particular Hussein tries to mock. Czechs alone desire to save this real-world paradise. And so do some other nations. Another grouping of nations inwards a dissimilar phase just wants to contrary several recent changes of demographics etc. that didn't seem to atomic number 82 their countries inwards the correct direction.

The suggestion of recovering a supposedly perfect past times is fiction; its merchants are cheats. Clever cheats.

Obviously, they're non cheats at all, I just proved it.

Populists exercise half-truths together with oversimplification - the 2 scalpels of the arch propagandist, together with hither the cyberspace together with social media are a perfect track for them, past times reducing idea into the smallest packages: sound-bites; tweets. Paint one-half a film inwards the heed of an anxious individual, exposed every bit they may live to economical hardship together with through the media to the horrors of terrorism. Prop this film upward past times some half-truth hither together with in that location together with allow the natural prejudice of people to fill upward inwards the rest. Add drama, emphasising it’s all the fault of a clear-cut group, so the speakers lobbing this verbal artillery, together with their followers, tin dismiss experience somehow blameless.

There be populists together with numerous politicians together with other people oversimplify together with offering half-truths etc. But when it comes to the questions of our relationships with Islam, Geert Wilders together with the other vii politicians aren't examples of those fallacies. The threat of Islamization is real real, together with so are the differences betwixt the countries that were able to defend their Islam-free paradises so far together with the countries that are already beingness "reshaped" to the new, heavily Islamized Balkans-style multicultural image.

The formula is thus simple: brand people, already nervous, experience terrible, together with so emphasize it’s all because of a group, lying within, unusual together with menacing. Then brand your target audience experience practiced past times offering upward what is a fantasy to them, but a horrendous injustice to others. Inflame together with quench, repeat many times over, until anxiety has been hardened into hatred.

Strange, it's the bureaucrat himself who admitted he was angry. At to the lowest degree inwards the countries where Islam is non a threat yet, people who desire to save the paradise are by together with large happy, calm, together with rational. They're terrified when they come across pictures of some problems at some places of Western Europe. But let's admit, they also experience lucky together with happy that it's non what they receive got to move through.

It's the U.N. bureaucrat who has admitted to live angry together with who seems anxious but anger together with anxiety are sometimes preventing 1 from sharply evaluating the reality.

Make no mistake, I certainly do non equate the actions of nationalist demagogues with those of Da’esh, which are monstrous, sickening; Da’esh must live brought to justice. But inwards its trend of communication, its exercise of half-truths together with oversimplification, the propaganda of Da’esh uses tactics similar to those of the populists. And both sides of this equation do goodness from each other – indeed would non expand inwards influence without each others’ actions.

Man, you lot don't equate Daesh with the Western politicians. You receive got alone written a rant against 1 of these 2 political powers – together with it wasn't Daesh. It is spectacularly clear that it is the anti-Islamic Western politicians together with non Daesh that correspond your actual main enemies. It is certainly no coincidence that your rant was directed against Geert Wilders together with non e.g. against Al-Baghdadi. Your goals are basically aligned with those of Daesh. You also desire the Islamization of Europe and/or other regions where Islam has no correct to oxidize.

The humiliating racial together with religious prejudice fanned past times the likes of Mr Wilders has move inwards some countries municipal or fifty-fifty national policy. We hear of accelerating discrimination inwards workplaces.

Pretty much all groups of people sometimes send imperfectly towards those who don't belong. I won't pretend that some of these groups are consummate saints. But there's nevertheless a huge divergence betwixt the handling of Muslims inwards Europe together with the handling of infidels inwards the Islamic countries etc. The real fact that this Jordanian bureaucrat has chosen the European lodge every bit his target proves that he is much closer to the beheading of women for their having consensual sexual practice than to the defence of the European freedoms against those who would similar to supersede it with a savage Medieval bigotry such every bit Islam.

Children are beingness shamed together with shunned for their ethnic together with religious origins – whatever their passports, they are told they are non “really” European, non “really” French, or British, or Hungarian. Entire communities are beingness smeared with suspicion of collusion with terrorists.

I am sorry but ethnic Arab children from mostly isolated ghettos with their mosques, imams, together with calls to innovate the Sharia Law aren't genuinely French, British, or Hungarian. There is no ask to set the give-and-take really inwards betwixt quotation marks. They are really non European inwards the primary or cultural feel of the give-and-take – inwards the real same feel inwards which a European atheist living inwards Kingdom of Saudi Arabia won't move a Muslim or Arab just because of the long years he spends there.

The European societies nevertheless guarantee sure rights to all these kids. When born inwards Europe, they are citizens with all the constitutional rights. But that can't alter the fact that – specially if they maintain on belonging to some Muslim subculture – their divergence from their all-European compatriots remains self-evident together with other Europeans may oft accept this divergence into account.

History has maybe taught Mr Wilders together with his ilk how effectively xenophobia together with bigotry tin dismiss live weaponised. Communities volition barricade themselves into fearful, hostile camps, with populists similar them, together with the extremists, every bit the commandants. The atmosphere volition move thick with hate; at this betoken it tin dismiss descend speedily into colossal violence.

This is a completely dizzy caricature of the history. The defence against unusual countries or cultures or armies is oft existentially needed together with the leaders of this "xenophobia" are rightfully considered national heroes. For a nation, to ban all politicians or leaders who would live willing to defend the land against the aggression or identity-changing influence past times others would hateful a collective suicide.

Needless to say, suicide is just what this Muslim wants Europe to commit.

Should nosotros denounce Winston Churchill because he led the Britons inwards their struggle against the Huns? Or because he loudly appreciated that Islam was the most retrograde force inwards the world? Well, I for certain won't. Those are alongside the reasons why I consider him 1 of the most of import politicians who worked inwards the decades a century agone or so.

We must delineate dorsum from this trajectory. My friends, are nosotros doing plenty to counter this cross-border bonding of demagogues? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 decade ago, Geert Wilder’s manifesto together with Cleveland speech communication would receive got created a world-wide furore. Now? Now, they are met with footling to a greater extent than than a shrug, and, exterior the Netherlands, his words together with pernicious plans were barely noticed. Are nosotros going to move on to stand upward past times together with scout this banalisation of bigotry, until it reaches its logical conclusion?

A decade ago, Wilders' comments were greeted with a daze – maybe sometimes fifty-fifty past times people similar me – because his assumptions seemed remote together with implausible. Now, inwards 2016, basically all sensible Europeans who are capable of basic observations of the political reality come across that he was basically correct already a decade ago. Ideas that looked marginal, remote, or implausible define the mainstream today. He was basically right, most people think. That's why the mental attitude to his manifesto has changed!

The basic rules of the Western lodge forestall you lot from doing "enough" against folks similar Geert Wilders together with their political activity. Why? Because the basic rules of the Western lodge guarantee the liberty of facial expression every bit long every bit it doesn't violate whatever laws – together with (almost?) cypher that folks similar Wilders do is violating whatever laws. So if you lot – e.g. the U.N. bureaucrat – would "stop" him inwards some way, it would almost certainly hateful that you lot receive got committed a crime.

It is the political activity meant to innovate a totalitarian scheme suppressing the human rights – such every bit the Islamist political activities – that is unwelcome according to the European traditions together with illegal inwards numerous European countries. Wilders is OK inwards the Netherlands but you lot are not. Please don't attempt to demagogically plow these basic facts upside down.

Ultimately, it is the police push clitoris that volition safeguard our societies – human rights law, binding police push clitoris which is the distillation of human experience, of generations of human suffering, the screams of the victims of past times crimes together with hate. We must guard this police push clitoris passionately, together with live guided past times it.

Right. But inwards Europe, the police push clitoris is non the Sharia Law. In Europe, just because some primitive brainwashed mobs believe inwards medieval stupidities such every bit Islam, doesn't give them the correct to blackmail private citizens of European countries such every bit Geert Wilders together with many others.

Do not, my friends, live led past times the deceiver. It is alone past times pursuing the entire truth, together with acting wisely, that humanity tin dismiss e'er survive. So delineate the line together with speak. Speak out together with up, speak the truth together with do so compassionately, speak for your children, for those you lot assist about, for the rights of all, together with live sure to state clearly: stop! We volition non live bullied past times you lot the bully, nor fooled past times you lot the deceiver, non again, no more; because we, non you, volition steer our collective fate. And we, non you, volition write together with sculpt this coming century. Draw the line!

No lines volition live drawn that would strip the Europeans from their basic rights that receive got been considered tenets of the European cultures for centuries. Speaking the truth is what the people chosen every bit targets past times this bureaucrat do much of the fourth dimension – together with sometimes they bravely human face upward the hazard of beingness harassed past times the Muslims together with others.

It's crazy for this U.N. non bad to complain close bullies, specially after he boasted to live a real powerful official elected past times all the world's governments who must live Geert Wilders' nightmare. It is you, Mr Hussein, who is the ultimate bully. But nosotros won't allow you lot to influence our countries or moralize. You receive got no credentials to do so. Maybe inwards the Netherlands, it's nevertheless normal for individuals similar you lot to publicly blackmail the Dutch lawmakers. But if you lot gave the same speech communication here, live sure that the calls to deport or otherwise punish you lot would live real strong.

You're just together with clearly non coming every bit a friend of Europe. To a lesser extent but inwards the same qualitative feel every bit Daesh, you lot are our enemy.
