Transcript:

00:08 Filip Dewinter

00:12 meeting in connection with the Charlie Hebdo attack.

00:16 Mr. President, respected colleagues, as a gesture of solidarity

00:20 with and sympathy for the victims of

00:24 the attack that took place yesterday at Charlie Hebdo

00:28 I have brought this cartoon, this cartoon that was

00:32 presented to me ten years ago by Kurt Westergaard,

00:36 signed by Kurt Westergaard, when I met him when I was giving a speech to the Free Press Association

00:40 of which Kurt Westergaard is the president.

00:48 What has changed since then?

00:52 When the mass Muslim

00:56 protest took place against this cartoon and the attack

01:00 that we saw yesterday in Paris?

01:04 The answer is simple: nothing has changed!

01:08 In fact, the situation has actually got worse.

01:12 Ignoring, minimalising Islam, radicalism

01:16 ten years of subsidies and facilities for Islam

01:20 pamper-integration projects

01:24 ten years of politically correct discussion such as we have had today

01:28 where politicians talk about tolerance

01:32 about multiculturalism and tolerance

01:36 where because of political correctness the problem cannot be named

01:40 Officially, Islam is a religion

01:44 of peace, tolerance and forbearance

01:48 the ideology that hides behind Islam may not

01:52 certainly in this chamber be called to account.

01:56 The subject of Islam and the Islamisation of our society

02:00 is simply brushed away as racist and xenophobic

02:04 If you dare to say that the Koran incites people to hate

02:08 violence and intolerance is simply an Islamophobe

02:12 the media and societal debate must be avoided

02:16 colleagues, are all Muslims extremists

02:20 and potential terrorists? No, of course not.

02:25 The vast majority of them, 95, 99% of them

02:29 are moderate, peace-loving people who abhor violence

02:33 and condemn this and all other attacks

02:37 Does this really mean that Islam

02:41 is moderate and peace-loving?

02:45 The answer is also no. Not the so-called radicalising

02:49 such as we have already heard dozens of times

02:53 is the problem, the problem, their problem is Islam itself.

02:57 Today it doesn’t concern just the freedom of the press

03:01 and freedom of speech, it’s about the fact that the values of Islam

03:05 are diametrically opposed to our way of life and

03:09 to the fundaments of our Western and European democracy.

03:13 It concerns freedom of speech but it also concerns

03:17 the separation of state and church, and equality between men and women

03:21 is there a problem, ladies and gentlemen, with radicalisation

03:25 Catholics, or radicalising free thinkers?

03:29 with radicalising Jews, or anyone else?

03:33 or radicalising Buddhists? No, Charlie Hebdo ridiculed

03:37 all religions and all ideologies, but it was only

03:41 violence from Muslims that had to be feared. I can only observe that

03:45 certainly not every Muslim is a terrorist,

03:49 but today, now,

03:53 that every terrorist is a Muslim. Colleagues,

03:57 the victims a year ago in the Jewish Museum in Brussels

04:01 the victims yesterday in Paris, and so many other victims

04:05 of innumerable other Jihadist attacks in Europe

04:09 are primarily the victims of a lax immigration

04:13 policy of the government, of decades of

04:18 Islamic colonisation, of the people we have become

04:22 in the words of Winston Churchill, “if you keep

04:26 feeding the crocodile in the hope of appeasing it,

04:30 will generally end up in its stomach”. The perpetrators

04:34 of the attack yesterday were born and raised

04:38 French Muslims. Children of mass immigration and multiculturalism

04:42 who carry out the attacks on the streets of our European

04:46 cities. Only a strict policy that takes swift action

04:50 against every who follows Jihadist and Salafist Islam

04:54 who preaches and glorifies violence can bring solace

04:58 that means that fighters in Syria must have their nationality revoked

05:02 that we would rather see them go than stay

05:06 instead of keeping them, Minister of Home Affairs,

05:10 within our borders and trying to convince

05:14 them with naive propaganda films on the Internet, that radical mosques

05:18 must be closed, that hate preachers are not given an opportunity here

05:22 to spread their message. That Muslims

05:26 must sign a declaration of loyalty and abjure Shariah

05:30 and that the recognition and subsidy of Islam

05:34 must be stopped. Colleagues, I conclude, in the last 24 hours

05:38 the outrage has rightly be great

05:42 even amongst those who in the past have promoted mass immigration

05:46 and facilitated, who

05:50 have minimalised and ignored the problem with radical Islam

05:54 even the politicians, journalists, intellectuals and others

05:58 who systematically judged every form of criticism of Islam

06:02 as being racist and xenophobe are today on the

06:06 front row with their badges “Je suis Charlie” and

06:11 are outraged.

06:15 Perhaps they should have been outraged somewhat earlier.

06:19 Taken to the streets earlier, then perhaps

06:23 we wouldn’t have had the problems we have now. And yes,

06:27 we politicians are also guilty, we bear the most responsibility

06:31 for what is taking place now in East European cities.

06:35 Many of you kept quiet while it was still possible

06:39 many of you looked the other way while it was yet possible

06:43 to stop radical Islam. Colleagues, in conclusion,

06:47 the attack yesterday was yet another declaration of war from the radical

06:51 Islam against the free west.

06:55 There is now a climate where you can no longer keep your mouth shut

06:59 where action must be taken. Anyone who

07:03 is not wanted by us here

07:07 can always, must go to places in the Middle East and Iraq

07:11 and Syria, wherever where they think it is so much better.

07:15 To conclude with the words of the socialist mayor of Amsterdam
