Several years ago we featured a four-part Israeli documentary about Islam in Europe. Immediately after the November 13 massacre in Paris, the same outfit put out another documentary about the hijra — the migration of mujahideen from Europe to Syria, and then back again to Europe.

This production includes recent footage as well clips filmed a year or two ago. Many thanks to D@rLin|{ for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Transcript:

00:00 It’s a short message to the King of Belgium, the Belgian government and Belgian citizens,

00:05 and especially to Belgian Muslims.

00:08 Say “Allahu Akhbar”! — Allahu Akhbar!

00:14 There is no God but Allah!

00:18 And Muhammad is his prophet!

00:21 This flag is well known to Belgian citizens, as well as to the rest of Europeans,

00:25 since it appeared before their eyes in squares and parks.

00:28 Say “Allahu Akhbar”! — Allahu Akhbar!

00:31 This is the flag which, Allah willing, will be flying soon on the building over there

00:34 and all the castles of Europe. In today’s Europe, one can fly the ISIS flag

00:40 and talk about the Islamic State as a vision,

00:43 which one day will come true in Europe. Say “Allahu Akhbar”!

00:46 Allahu Akhbar!

00:48 HIJRA

00:52 Just three days have passed since the murderous terror act, and Europe awakened to a new reality.

00:57 After it is out of the initial shock, it will dawn on it that this reality was already waiting for Europe

01:02 in the suburbs and quarters of the Muslim immigrants.

01:05 We saw that about four years ago, during the filming of the “Allah Islam” documentary.

01:08 About a year ago, we went back, and it really could not be clearer.

01:12 An act of terror is just a question of time. We will start our journey in Belgium.

01:17 A small country, but known as a capital of ISIS in Europe.

01:20 Yes, Belgium! There the terror acts were planned, the ones

01:23 that exploded in the Europeans’ face last Friday, in Paris.

01:33 Antwerp, Belgium — this month

01:43 The streets are quiet in Antwerp, Coffee shops are tranquil,

01:47 and lots of bicycles which collide with the quiet in every corner of this picturesque town.

01:50 This is the classic European image of a quiet town,

01:53 which for years almost never lost its peace.

01:59 And, though it is difficult to believe, this is the place, this Belgian town,

02:02 the center of the diamond and gold trades, where Flemish and English are spoken,

02:06 this is where the biggest group of Jihad fighters was born,

02:09 and then left for the Islamic State in Syria.

02:13 In Allah’s name, Allahu Akhbar!

02:18 300 Belgian citizens left this small country

02:22 during last year. Most of them lived here,

02:25 all belonged to one organization, which operated without any hindrance.

02:31 Members of “Sharia4Belgium” group. They call themselves “Sharia4Belgium”.

02:35 Say “Allahu Akhbar”! — Allahu Akhbar!

02:39 It started as a local branch of Al-Qaeda and became a center of ISIS Jihad.

02:44 Around two and a half years ago in a quiet café

02:47 here in Antwerp, I met with a group of young Muslims,

02:51 who, frankly, said extreme things and we could not imagine then

02:55 how real the stuff they talked about could become.

02:58 Allah’s blessings on you, Allah’s blessings on you. Two years ago, I had a rare opportunity

03:03 to enter their ranks and witness the growth

03:06 of a Jihad group under the rule of democracy.

03:13 And how, under the cover of free speech in Europe,

03:16 there can be a group, which denies freedom itself.

03:20 Are they looking for us? No.

03:25 What can my enemies do to me? If they lock me up, I have Janna, Paradise, in my heart.

03:31 If they kill me, I became Shahid, Allah willing, and if they ban me out of this land,

03:36 I will travel the world of Allah, explore the world of Allah;

03:40 what can the enemies do to me? They can do nothing.

03:44 How in this very tolerant culture can a group flourish

03:47 that supports beheadings and oppression?

03:50 They said they will chop off my hands, and you know… They are saying, “We will chop off hands”

03:53 But did you see what they are doing in the country? They don’t just chop hands, they are taking whole… the body parts

03:58 of our sisters and brothers. They buried some brothers alive.

04:02 And that’s democracy In the name of democracy. — Yes

04:05 Freedom of expression is for Muslims…

04:08 for them to insult us, but not for us.

04:13 The news came at first from London, from this Sheikh,

04:16 Anjem Choudary. You are threatening to come and get me. Is that what you are saying?

04:20 I am saying that Sharia will be implemented in the whole world. — So that’s what you want? Thank you, you answered my question.

04:25 You want a worldwide Islamic Caliphate Of course I do, of course I do.

04:29 Here is the moment when Sheikh Anjem Choudary arrives in Belgium and tells the “Sharia4Belgium”

04:36 group the whole truth, what they really have to do. — My name is Anjem Choudary,

04:40 and I am going to be delivering a lecture, Insh’allah, here,

04:45 about the methodology to overthrow the regimes.

04:50 And to implement the Sharia, which is an obligation upon us.

04:53 I come from England in order to radicalize the youth in this country.

04:56 Say “Allahu Akhbar”! — Allahu Akhbar! — So we say in Europe one day we will become the majority,

05:00 and at that time we will take the authority and , Insh’allah,

05:04 implement Sharia. It will be mercy for them and it will be mercy for us as well.

05:08 OK? Are you happy with that?

05:12 Very happy, Sheikh. This task Choudary gave to this man.

05:16 Fouad Belkacem, a Moroccan immigrant with a criminal past,

05:20 came back to Islam, and since 9/11 is busy breaking the tranquility of the Belgians.

05:27 Say “Allahu Akhbar”! — Allahu Akhbar!

05:30 He throws in their faces the most radical interpretation of Islam.

05:33 There are many Muslims in Belgian politics,

05:36 and this is a thing that I have a very hard time comprehending.

05:41 You are either a Muslim or you support democracy. You cannot do both.

05:45 Take heed, Sarkozy, my compatriot,

05:48 we are coming. We are coming with Allahu Akhbar.

05:53 We are coming with the atomic bomb, made by Allahu Akhbar.

05:57 We are coming with our black flags. Abu Imran is openly dreaming of turning Belgium

06:02 into a theocracy so that it can be a part of the Islamic Caliphate.

06:06 He also took Muslim immigrants’ children out of Catholic schools

06:14 and started teaching them Salafi Islam.

06:18 Abu Imran does not have any doubt about us, whether we support him or not; Abu Imran knows that we support him.

06:22 Allah, keep us safe, and keep our brother safe,

06:27 Abu Imran. Amen Allah, keep Abu Imran safe and release from prison

06:31 those who were detained. Amen We see, though, that something is really going wrong,

06:36 but we did not know what was going on.

06:40 Until one day I discover that he became a member of “Sharia4Belgium”

06:45 He was a friend of your son? Yes, of course! All of them.

06:48 All of them were his friends? Yes, all of them. Abu Pares?

06:52 All of them, all of them What about this guy? All of them.

06:55 Dmitry, whose son converted to Islam, understood at once that he has to call upon

06:59 their leader, in order to get his son out of there. And then I invited the leader

07:03 to my place three times. Who?

07:06 — Belkacem. — Belkacem? — Yes I invited him three times to tell him…

07:09 To invite him and… Look, we are talking about my son. I don’t give a s**t about what you are doing with your organization,

07:15 I don’t care, But we are talking today about my child,

07:19 and I do not like it what you are doing with my son

07:22 inside your club.

07:25 Because my son has changed completely since he met your club, since he became a member.

07:30 What the leader said? And, you know, he was like, very charismatic,

07:34 very pragmatic. You know, he said, “We are peaceful Muslims”.

07:39 It was like the devil was sitting at my table. It was the devil in person who was sitting at my table.

07:44 So intelligent, so pragmatic. Really, incredible.

07:48 So, that must change. He invited me, OK.

07:51 I think , altogether, I went there 35 times, because my vision was …

07:55 35 times? 35 times in the evening, 9 o’clock and my son is not home;

07:59 I know where to find him and just go there Why? To see what my son was doing there

08:03 My vision was to trap them, to catch them doing something illegal.

08:06 But I am sorry, I never… They were clean?

08:10 Yeah, clean I never could trap them with something illegal.

08:15 It’s amazing to find out that the things you heard now from those Sheikhs

08:18 is considered legal in Belgium. They met every day, similar to a youth movement.

08:23 ”You need to come out more with your call for Islam. You need to be even more active in the public arena.”

08:28 And then went out to streets, to do “Dawa” — spread the message of Islam.

08:32 They started demonstrating in the Antwerp’s quiet streets and often went to Brussels

08:39 to interfere with other Muslims, who speak in the name of Islam.

08:42 ”I am living on one planet and they are living on another planet

08:45 and that’s the thing that constantly in the discussions about Islam

08:50 It’s not possible You are either for or against

08:53 Excuse me, excuse me sir! Say “Allahu Akhbar”

08:57 Allahu Akhbar! You don’t have leaders anymore,

09:10 you don’t have ideals anymore, you don’t really have people to look up to.

09:14 Today Europe is an empty box. You don’t have ideals anymore in your life.

09:19 So all these youngsters, the problem of these youngsters, it’s really… Idealist people. “Real freedom fighters”.

09:25 By chopping off heads? Of course they use them, Of course they use all these Western children Of course

09:32 the radical extremist organizations use them in the name of Allah. Of course they use them.

09:35 Of course they brainwash them. Once you hear their explanations after they return,

09:39 I’m gonna take my son as example,

09:43 is like an injection of drug in your arm.

09:46 But not in your arm, but here in your head.

09:50 So you are not yourself anymore, my friend.

09:56 Then, in the cafe with the red seats, they were especially militant.

10:00 ”Sheikh Osama (Bin Laden), may Allah have mercy on him, was the most wonderful person in our generation.”

10:06 This was said two days after their leader Abu Imran,

10:09 Fouad Belkacem, was arrested and they understood already

10:12 that their organization was hit hard, but decided to go on.

10:16 A good Muslim is in jail or on his way to jail That’s a good Muslim.

10:20 A year and a half into the Arab Spring it was clear to these youngsters that their

10:24 dream was not limited to Belgium’s borders, and Jihad calls them forward.

10:28 If it were possible, would you go there to do Jihad outside?

10:31 ”No comment, no comment.”

10:34 And then, in just the space of a few months,

10:37 Belgian security forces noticed that the problematic group simply disappeared from the streets,

10:41 no more demonstrations or provocations. The simply went below the radar.

10:45 Right now, we crossed the English-French border,

10:48 and we are on our way to Belgium.

10:51 We weren’t really checked.

10:55 So freedom of movement in Europe is one of the problems for the local security forces,

10:59 to follow the youngsters who simply leave the country in their car and there is no record that they did that,

11:04 and are on their way to Jihad in Syria.

11:07 Lots of people went together in small groups.

11:10 How? Some by car, some by plane.

11:13 There were four or five guys who went in two cars

11:18 all the way to Turkey and even took one of the cars, a BMW, across the border.

11:26 The car was later seen in Syria. Today, now we are in December,

11:30 Around ten a day, foreigners, pass the border clandestinely,

11:34 like we smoke cigarettes, without an international passport, without an international passport,

11:38 my friends, pass the border clandestinely, to join ISIS.

11:42 And ISIS is getting stronger and stronger

11:45 every second of the day. Allahu Akhbar!

11:48 What was the moment your son made the decision to go?

11:53 I never, I never knew about that.

11:56 You know, most of the youngsters who move up to Syria, they disappear like a thief in the night.

12:00 Some of them say they go on holiday with their friends like my son did.

12:03 Others say we are going to study in Egypt or in England.

12:07 And other ones say nothing, they disappear like a thief in the night.

12:10 You are paying for the airplane tickets. In the beginning, they did not appreciate the possibility,

12:14 admit the Belgians, that the group went to Syria and continues to attract more and more fighters from Belgium to the East.

12:19 Bart De Wever — Major of Antwerp. An unfortunate thing that people did not take these “Sharia4Belgium” people

12:25 seriously two and a half years ago. Me personally as a politician, I did, I immediately pointed out that there was a real danger.

12:32 You have the hard core of fanatics convince people,

12:35 who are often well educated, who make a conscious decision

12:38 to reject the Western way of life and our civilization.

12:41 They are recruiting more vulnerable youngsters

12:44 from Morocco they were sent, also converts, and then send off to Syria.

12:49 So that’s a phenomenon we’ve been seeing for the last two years.

12:54 I never took them as clowns. Filip Dewinter — Belgian politician. Western European politicians are very afraid

12:59 to be called racists, so they are multicultural, and so they have a lot of so-called respect

13:04 for Islam, also for radical Islam.

13:07 They don’t know about Islam They think they can still integrate Islam

13:11 into our society. Make, create a sort of European, enlightened Islam.

13:18 But Islam is Islam and will always be Islam.

13:21 So Islam hates the West. And the only goal of Islam at this moment

13:25 is to take over. Even today, members of “Sharia4Belgium”

13:29 are active inside Europe. The are spreading the terrorists’ gospel

13:33 in the service of ISIS. We then met a young Belgian man who just converted to Islam,

13:39 his name was Yunes and he went out to wage Jihad in Syria,
