     In a generation or  two, the United  States of America will ask itself: "Who lost Europe  ?"     Here is the speech by  Geert Wilders,  Chairman, Party for Freedom, The Netherlands , at the  Four  Seasons in New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots  and  announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem   .   
      
Dear   friends,    Thank you very much for inviting  me.

I  come to America with a mission. All is not well  in the old world. There  is a tremendous danger looming, and  it is very difficult to be  optimistic. We might be in the  final stages of the Islamization of  Europe. This not only is  a clear and present danger to the future of  Europe itself,  it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of  the  West. The United States as the last bastion of Western   civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First, I will  describe  the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I  will say a few things  about Islam. To close I will tell you  about a meeting in Jerusalem  .

The Europe you know is  changing.

You have probably seen  the landmarks. But  in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away  from  your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the   world of the parallel society created by Muslim   mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality  is rising:  entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few  indigenous people reside or  are even seen. And if they are,  they might regret it. This goes for the  police as well. It's  the world of head scarves, where women walk around  in  figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of  children.  Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer,  walk three steps ahead.  With mosques on many street corners.  The shops have signs you and I  cannot read. You will be  hard-pressed to find any economic activity.  These are Muslim  ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are  Muslim  neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city  across  Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial   control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street  by street,  neighborhood by neighborhood, city by  city.

There are now  thousands of mosques throughout  Europe with larger congregations than  there are in churches.  And in every European city there are plans to  build  super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region.   Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities  are already  one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam ,  Marseille and Malmo in Sweden  . In many cities the majority  of the under-18 population is Muslim.  Paris is now  surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed  is  the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In  some  elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer  be mentioned  because that would also mean mentioning the  pig, and that would be an  insult to Muslims.

Many  state schools in Belgium and Denmark only  serve halal food  to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are  beaten up  almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women  routinely  hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to   local TV stations, but to stations in the country of  origin.

In  France school teachers are advised to  avoid authors deemed offensive to  Muslims, including  Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true  of  Darwin . The history of the   Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim   sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now  officially part of  the British legal system. Many  neighborhoods in France are no-go areas  for women without  head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being  beaten  up by Muslims in Brussels because he was drinking during   Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing  France in record numbers, on the run  for the worst wave of  anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now  commonly  spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel   . I could go on forever with  stories like  this. Stories about  Islamization.

A total of fifty-four  million  Muslims now live in Europe . San Diego University recently   calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in  Europe will  be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis  has predicted a Muslim  majority by the end of this  century.

Now these are just numbers.  And the numbers  would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had  a  strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of  that.  The Pew Research Center reported that half of French  Muslims see their  loyalty to Islam as greater than their  loyalty to France . One-third of French Muslims do  not object to  suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social  Cohesion reported that  one-third of British Muslim students  are in favor of a worldwide  caliphate. Muslims demand what  they call 'respect'. And this is how we  give them respect.  We have Muslim official state  holidays.

The  Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to  accept  sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We   have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey   .

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior,  ranging from  petty crimes and random violence, for example  against ambulance workers  and bus drivers, to small-scale  riots. Paris has seen its uprising in  the low-income  suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators  'settlers'  because that is what they are. They do not come to  integrate  into our societies; they come to integrate our society  into  their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are  settlers.

Much  of this street violence I mentioned is  directed exclusively against  non-Muslims, forcing many  native people to leave their neighborhoods,  their cities,  their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote  not  to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is  the  importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an  example to all  Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if  Mohammed had been a man of  peace, let us say like Ghandi and  Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there  would be no problem.  But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a  pedophile,  and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic   tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his  enemies  murdered and even had prisoners of war executed.  Mohammed himself  slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu  Qurayza.  If it is good for  Islam, it is good. If it is  bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one  fool you about  Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a   here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a  political  ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed  rules for society and  the life of every person. Islam wants  to dictate every aspect of life.  Islam means 'submission'.  Islam is not compatible with freedom and  democracy, because  what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare  Islam  to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism,   these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know  why Winston  Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde  force in the world', and why  he compared Mein Kampf to the  Quran. The  public has wholeheartedly  accepted the Palestinian  narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I  have lived in  this country and visited it dozens of times. I  support  Israel . First, because it is the Jewish homeland after  two  thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz;  second  because it is a democracy, and third because Israel  is our first line of  defense.

This tiny country is  situated on the fault line of  jihad, frustrating Islam's  territorial advance. Israel is facing the  front lines of  jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines ,  Southern  Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in  Indonesia  . Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin  was  during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a   war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is  jihad. Israel  is simply receiving the blows that are meant  for all of us. If there  would have been no Israel , Islamic  imperialism would have found other  venues to release its  energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to  Israeli  parents who send their children to the army and lay awake  at  night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and  dream,  unaware of the dangers  looming.

Many in Europe  argue  in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the  grievances of our  Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God  forbid, to go down, it would  not bring any solace to the  West.  It would not mean our Muslim  minorities would  all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept  our  values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give  enormous  encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would,  and rightly so, see  the demise of Israel as proof that the  West is weak, and doomed. The end  of Israel would not mean  the end of our problems with Islam, but only  the beginning.  It would mean the start of the final battle for  world  domination. If they can get Israel , they can get   everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and  all critics  of Islamization as 'right-wing extremists' or  'racists'. In my country,  the Netherlands , 60 percent of  the population now sees the mass  immigration of Muslims as  the number one policy mistake since World War  II. And  another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet   there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the  scenario of  America as the last man standing. The lights may  go out in Europe faster  than you can imagine. An Islamic  Europe means a Europe without freedom  and democracy, an  economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a  loss of  military might for America - as its allies will turn into   enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe,  it would be  up to America alone to preserve the heritage of  Rome , Athens and  Jerusalem .

Dear friends,  liberty is the most precious of gifts.  My generation never  had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us  on a  silver platter, by people who fought for it with their  lives.  All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us  of the young boys  who never made it home, and whose memory  we cherish. My generation does  not own this freedom; we are  merely its custodians. We can only hand  over this hard won  liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in  which it  was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs  and  imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot   squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to  do  so.

We have to take the necessary action now to  stop this Islamic  stupidity from destroying the free world  that we know.
