PAT CONDELL ON APPEASING ISLAM

Here is the transcript of British stand-up comic Pat Condell's video monologue on Appeasing Islam:

According to a recent opinion poll, many muslims say that the way for the West to have better relations with Islam, is to show it more respect. And who said, ‘Muslim’s don’t have a sense of humour’?

Given that Islam is above criticism in the west, it’s hard to imagine how we could give it any more respect . . .short of closing down all of the pubs, growing beards and beating up women who don’t want to dress like nuns.Ah, yes, of course. Silly me.I think many people in the West, are now realizing that Islam has already been given far too much ‘respect’. Especially here in Europe where according to another poll, people now see it as a threat to their culture. They carry on accomodating it’s every demand of course, but this is not because Islam is welcome in Europe. Far from it. It’s because people have been conditioned by the lie of multiculturalism to believe that what they SHOULD think is more important than what they DO think.So, although people will criticise Islam in private, they know that to do so publicly, in other words to be honest about their feelings would instantly make them racists and Islamophobes and nazis and disgusting imperialists, ethno-centric-fascist bastards grinding their jack boots into the faces of the innocent and the weak - so, best not make a fuss. You want to beat your wife and mutilate your daughter? Be our guest. We’ll even subsidize it - because we want to be your friend. What’s that? You want to destroy our corrupt society? Well that’s our fault. Not yours. Here, have some more money.

This film that’s coming out in Holland shortly, which has got the whole country in a state of heightened terrorist alert, is yet more proof that everything in Europe now needs to be measured against the possiblity of Muslim violence. Every play, every film, every art exhibition, every magazine article . . .in fact, our whole culture is now subject to Muslim approval. But then, this is Europe and we have a history of appeasment and caving into threats. Radical Islam knows this and is playing us like a violin. They KNOW that Islam will never get blamed for anything in Europe, no matter what happens. So that, for example, when the Danish press reprinted the cartoons recently, which was followed by a week of rioting by Muslim ‘youths’, Copenhagen’s Chief of Police refused to admit that it had anything to do with the cartoons. He said it was because they were ‘bored’.Yes, that’s right. They all rushed out and set fire to the city every night for a week ‘for something to do’. If only they had a table tennis club!The whole thing happened because three Islamic fanatics were caught planning to murder the cartoonists. Imagine how ‘bored’ THEY must have been!

Oh, yes. Also. A news flash for European journalists. An anti-semitic attack by Muslims on Jews IS NOT a ‘conflict between communities’. In case you haven’t noticed, Islam HATES Jews. Even if Israel didn’t exist, Islam would still HATE Jews. Their holy book tells Muslims that they should HATE Jews. So, I think you’ll find that what is happening is NOT a ‘conflict between communities’ at all, but a violent unprovoked racist attack by Muslims on Jews - because they’re Jews. Just thought I’d clear that one up for you so that you can report it accurately next time if you bother to report it - at all.If we were serious about respecting Islam we would give it an HONEST REALITY CHECK.

Islam needs to adapt to Europe. Not the other way around. Now, I know a lot of Muslims actually agree with this and they make an effort to adapt and to rub along with everybody else, which is great and it’s very welcomed.But we all know that a lot of others don’t. Which is why many European cities have large Muslim ghettos controlled by religious bigots, where indigenous law and values are increasingly unwelcome.Places full of people who have no intention of integrating and who want nothing less than the end of our civilization while we pander and defer to them thanks to a biased press and a complacent judiciary and the kind of politicians you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. Actually, you probably would. And this situation is as much a threat to the freedom of ordinary Muslims as it is to everybody else. And it’s a clear indication of what we need in Europe now is NOT more respect for Islam. It’s less respect for Islam, and MORE RESPECT FOR OURSELVES.

We need to stop pretending because thats what we are doing. We’re pretending that all cultures are equal. Well we can clearly see that they’re not. Islamic culture is NOT equal to Western culture. It encourages violence against women, against Jews and homosexuals. It sanctions polygamy and marrying old men to young children in a disgusting travesty of human relations. Anyone in the West advocating these kind of values would very quickly find themselves in jail. It’s NOT equal. It’s inferior. And given radical Islam’s openness about it’s totalitarian agenda, this is NOT something that should be encouraged in ANY WAY.It should be discouraged by firm legislation and by rigorous enforcement of the law.Remember, "the law"?Now, I know that I’m going to be accused of racism and Islamophobia by the usual self-righteous pinheads but I don’t mind because those words have no value in this context. One has been neutralized by repeated dishonest disuse and the other is just a bare faced lie concocted by the political left in tandem with the religious right in a marriage of convenience which is, well, quite simply beneath contempt.A phobia is an irrational fear.

Resisting Islam is not irrational. Pandering to it is irrational. Indulging the lie that Islamic culture is somehow equal to Western culture - while ignoring the victims of that culture - is more than irrational. It’s downright criminal. And if you really want to talk about racism, then look no further than the poisonous fiction of multiculturalism, a devisive and patronizing racist ideology. And the governments of Europe who promote it are racist governments. The civil servants who pander to it are racists. The university lecturers who encourage it are racists. The journalists who lie about it are racists. And the ordinary people who say one thing in private and another in public are cowardly racist hypocrits.If we can’t bring ourselves to say what’s in our hearts when it truely matters, then we have already given up our freedom and with it the freedom of future generations - which is something that we have no right to do. We didn’t earn this freedom. It was handed to us on a plate by people who DID earn it with their lives. We don’t own it. We’re custodians of it. It’s not ours to give away.

So, it’s time to speak up Europe. It’s time to stop whining and belly aching about the Americans for five minutes and show a little back bone for once. Just once! Or, do we want to spend the rest of our lives cowering like frightened mice from a handful of violent bigots who think they have a right to poke a finger into our chest and tell us how we are allowed to live. . . what we can and can’t do, say and think. Well, I don’t know about you but anyone who asks me that question is going to get a very short answer. I’ll give you a clue, it won’t contain the words ‘allah’ or ‘akbar’. Peace, wouldn’t that be nice?
