Hugh Fitzgerald: Is White Nationalism Destroying the West?

Is White Nationalism destroying the West?

Such was the provocative title of an article in The New York Times for October 12 by Sasha Polakow-Suransky, which can be found here.

Believing that issue could be taken with almost every claim made in the piece, I’ve chosen to take issue with just a few of his myriad misrepresentations:

Story continues below advertisement

On July 14, 2016, as French families strolled along Nice’s seafront promenade, a Tunisian man driving a large truck rammed into a crowd, killing 86 people. A month later, the mayor of nearby Cannes declared that “burkinis” — a catchall term for modest swimwear favored by many religious women — would be banned from the city’s beaches; a municipal official called the bathing suits “ostentatious clothing” expressing an “allegiance to terrorist movements that are at war with us.”

One of the law’s first victims was a third-generation Frenchwoman who was ordered by the police to strip off her veil while onlookers shouted, “Go back to your country.” Still, many French politicians and intellectuals rushed to defend the ban. The former president Nicolas Sarkozy called modest swimwear “a provocation”; Alain Finkielkraut, a prominent philosopher, argued that “the burkini is a flag.” But what they presented as a defense of secular liberal values was in fact an attack on them — a law, masquerading as neutral, had explicitly targeted one religious group.

The “burkini” is far more than “modest swimwear.” It is a head-to-toe covering, with only an opening for the face, and wearing it is mandated by Islam. Some Muslim women wear it knowing that otherwise they will face the fury of male Muslims; others wear it because they want to, for they believe, as good Muslims and even without male pressure, that they should. But in both cases, the “burkini” is a religious symbol, and the laic state of France is opposed to all such symbols, whatever the religion involved, if they are deemed “ostentatious.” The hijab, for example, has not been banned, even if it signifies adherence to a religion, because it is not judged to be “ostentatious.” As Alain Finkielkraut says, “the burkini is a flag.” Polakow-Rumansky did not properly identify Alain Finkielkraut as a “French Jewish philosopher” — calling him only a “prominent philosopher” — because Finkielkraut does not fit anyone’s idea of a “white nationalist,” and it is “white nationalism,” as the opponent of Islam, that is being presented by Polakow-Suransky as the real threat to Western civilization. Finkielkraut doesn’t fit the template.

When rapid immigration and terrorist attacks occur simultaneously — and the terrorists belong to the same ethnic or religious group as the new immigrants — the combination of fear and xenophobia can be dangerous and destructive. In much of Europe, fear of jihadists (who pose a genuine security threat) and animosity toward refugees (who generally do not) have been conflated in a way that allows far-right populists to seize on Islamic State attacks as a pretext to shut the doors to desperate refugees, many of whom are themselves fleeing the Islamic State, and to engage in blatant discrimination against Muslim fellow citizens.

When there have been, since 9/11/2001, nearly 38,000 attacks by Muslims around the world, is “fear of jihadists” really hard to understand? If the real threat to Western civilization is “white nationalism,” then please tell us how many attacks have there been to justify such a fear? In the ballpark of 38,000? Or perhaps 380? What about 38? One need not be a “white nationalist” to be suspicious of these people whom the writer melodramatically calls “desperate refugees,” but as we now know, are not mainly “refugees” in the classic sense at all, but people attempting to benefit economically from generous Western welfare states. Most of those entering Europe as ‘”Syrian refugees” have nothing to do with Syria. In the same vein, many of these Muslim refugee “children” turn out to be in their twenties and need to shave. Why is it “blatant discrimination” to worry more about Muslim than about non-Muslim immigrants? Don’t we have nearly 38,000 reasons to do so?

There have been, in recent years, major terrorist attacks by Muslims in London, Manchester, Paris, Toulouse, Nice, Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Moscow, Beslan. And outside Europe, the attacks in New York, Washington, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Fort Hood, San Bernardino, Orlando, Chattanooga. Or in Asia, think of Mumbai, Delhi, Kashmir, Xinjiang, Beijing, Karachi, Dacca, Jakarta, Bali. Aren’t we allowed to draw some conclusions from this ever-lengthening list of terrorist attacks by Muslims? There is here no “xenophobia” — that means an irrational fear of all foreigners — but instead, a rational fear of Muslims alone. That fear is based on many things: 1) an increase in knowledge of what is contained in the Qur’an, especially greater familiarity with the 109 Jihad verses that command endless warfare against the Unbelievers; 2) the commonsensical reaction to the observable behavior of Muslims toward non-Muslims in Muslim-majority states, as with the killing of Christians in Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia, or of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh; 3) the swift and staggering rise in the Muslim population of Europe, now numbering 44 million (counting those in European Russia); 4) the willingness and ability of Muslim migrants to attack their non-Muslim hosts in a dozen European countries; 5) the apparent ability of non-Muslim immigrants — Chinese, Hindus, Vietnamese Buddhists, black African and Filipino Christians — to integrate successfully, without any violence, inculcated hostility toward their hosts, or any attempt to ignore the laws and customs of their hosts.

But this isn’t happening only in European countries. In recent years, anti-immigration rhetoric and nativist policies have become the new normal in liberal democracies from Europe to the United States. Legitimate debates about immigration policy and preventing extremism have been eclipsed by an obsessive focus on Muslims that paints them as an immutable civilizational enemy that is fundamentally incompatible with Western democratic values.

There is no “obsessive focus on Muslims” but rather, an understanding, that has been too long in coming, that the ideology of Islam poses special and permanent problems for non-Muslims, and especially for those who take in Muslims in the belief that they will successfully integrate into a non-Muslim society. The “focus,” such as it is, reflects the realization that the terrorists are Muslim; that they are not “extremists” with a “twisted ideology,” but merely mainstream Muslims taking to heart their duty to conduct Jihad, and to “strike terror” in the hearts of the Unbelievers (see Qur’an 8:12 and 8:60). Instead of a generalized “anti-immigration” rhetoric, there is, rather, the intelligent articulation of anxieties about one particular group of immigrants, that is, Muslims, with ample evidence (those nearly 38,000 attacks by Muslims since 9/11/2001) provided to justify such anxiety. Far from there being an “obsessive focus” on Muslims, the peoples and governments of Europe have consistently downplayed the Muslim threat. The mainstream media, too, have made people wary of criticizing Islam, for fear of being painted as “Islamophobes.” It is only now, thanks in large part to a handful of tireless commentators, that grim truths about Islam are now being recognized, though there is evidently still widespread reluctance to fully grasp the meaning and menace of Islam.

Yet despite the breathless warnings of impending Islamic conquest sounded by alarmist writers and pandering politicians, the risk of Islamization of the West has been greatly exaggerated. Islamists are not on the verge of seizing power in any advanced Western democracy or even winning significant political influence at the polls.

Look at how this author stacks the rhetorical deck: “breathless” warnings, “impending” Islamic conquest, “alarmist” writers, “pandering” politicians. But who is more “pandering” than Tony Blair, carrying around the Qur’an that he praises so highly, or Angela Merkel, who keeps swinging open wide the door to Muslim Syrian “refugees,” the great majority of whom turn out not to be from Syria at all, but merely Muslims looking to be supported by the generous German welfare state? “Alarmists” about Islam? With 1.5 billion Muslims, with tens of millions of those Muslims now in the West, with Islam the fastest-growing religion in the world? Are Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Ibn Warraq, Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Paul Weston, Mark Durie, Geert Wilders, Thilo Sarrazin, being “alarmist” when they soberly point out the steep rise in Muslim numbers in Europe, both from the enormous number of Muslims now being admitted as “refugees,” and from Muslims in Europe outbreeding the indigenous population? In 1970, there were 2,000 Muslims in Italy; now there are two million, or one thousand times as many. Less dramatic, but just as worrisome, are the increases in the Muslim populations of France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the U.K. So is the fact that every decade, the proportion of the European population that is Muslim rises by 1%. Those who point this out are not “pandering,” not “alarmist,” and certainly not warning of “impending” Islamic conquest, but are soberly presenting the statistics, as currently compiled by such groups as Pew Research.

The same cannot be said of white nationalists, who today are on the march from Charlottesville, Va., to Dresden, Germany. As an ideology, white nationalism poses a significantly greater threat to Western democracies; its proponents and sympathizers have proved, historically and recently, that they can win a sizable share of the vote — as they did this year in France, Germany and the Netherlands — and even win power, as they have in the United States.

Far-right leaders are correct that immigration creates problems; what they miss is that they are the primary problem. The greatest threat to liberal democracies does not come from immigrants and refugees but from the backlash against them by those on the inside who are exploiting fear of outsiders to chip away at the values and institutions that make our societies liberal.

Is the “primary problem” of immigration that caused not by the immigrants — the Muslim immigrants — but by “far-right leaders”? Why does the author slip in “far-right” to describe those worried about immigration? There are many people who are neither “far-right” nor even “right,” many indeed who by any measure are on the left, who have been at the forefront of those warning about the effect of Muslim immigration into Europe. Think of Pim Fortuyn, the famously liberal (and libertine) homosexual activist in the Netherlands, warning that Muslims could not be integrated; he was murdered for his views. So was Theo van Gogh, for the crime of making a movie about Muslim mistreatment of women. Think of the famous left-wing Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci, who wrote, in cold fury, two books — The Rage and the Pride and The Force of Reason — about what Muslim immigrants were doing to her beloved Italy. She reported on their contempt for the country, for its artistic treasures (she was particularly exercised by the Muslims given refuge in Italy, who showed their gratitude, and appreciation of Christian art, by urinating on, and defecating near, the celebrated “Gates of Paradise” that Ghiberti had made for the Baptistery in Florence. She who as a teenager had helped the Italian partisans fight the Nazis in Florence, and in her journalistic career lived among Muslims, interviewing Khomeini, Qaddafi, and Arafat, even spending time with PLO fighters in their lairs, had her eyes opened wide to Muslims and to Islam, and what she came to realize was a totalitarian ideology akin to the fascism with which she had been familiar since childhood.

In France, Polakow-Suransky ignores all the people on the left, including the socialist former Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who has been steadfast in sounding the alarm about Muslims in France undercutting the laic state, spreading antisemitism, and refusing even to attempt to integrate. Neither Valls, nor Alain Finkielkraut, nor Pascal Bruckner, nor Elizabeth Badinter could remotely be called “white nationalists”’; two of them are Jews, and the other two (Valls, Bruckner) are well-known for their philosemitism; all of them were originally on the left, but have been mugged by Islamic reality.

Anti-Semitic and xenophobic movements did not disappear from Europe after the liberation of Auschwitz, just as white supremacist groups have lurked beneath the surface of American politics ever since the Emancipation Proclamation. What has changed is that these groups have now been stirred from their slumber by savvy politicians seeking to stoke anger toward immigrants, refugees and racial minorities for their own benefit. Leaders from Donald Trump to France’s Marine Le Pen have validated the worldview of these groups, implicitly or explicitly encouraging them to promote their hateful opinions openly. As a result, ideas that were once marginal have now gone mainstream.

What has occurred in Europe is not the reappearance of “antisemitic and xenophobic movements” connected to the real far-right, but the appearance of antisemitism in a new guise, promoted and spread now by Muslims. As for the phenomenon of “xenophobia” — irrational hatred of all foreigners — the word does not properly describe the dislike and distrust, not of all foreigners, but of Muslims only, and a dislike and distrust that is hardly irrational, but the result of the evidence, both textual and behavioral, of Muslim hostility toward, or even murderous hatred of, all Unbelievers. This dislike has no need to be “stirred from [its] slumber” by those seeking to “stoke anger…for their own benefit.” The main carriers of antisemitism, the most dangerous spreaders of the pathology today, are not “white nationalists,” but Muslims. The attacks specifically on Jews are hard to forget. There was the attack at the Jewish school in Toulouse (where a rabbi and three small children, two of them his, were killed), the attack on the Hyper Cacher market in Paris, the attacks both on Ilan Halimi, kidnapped, tortured, and finally killed by a band of Muslims, and on an elderly Jewish lady, Sarah Halimi, killed, mutilated, and thrown out of a third floor window by a Muslim chanting from the Qur’an. There were the savage attacks on two Jewish brothers pulled from their car by a group of Muslims who beat them up (and sawed off the finger of one of them, just for fun). There have been other attacks on Jews in Malmo, and in Oslo, and in Berlin, all by Muslims, not “white nationalists.”

Polakaw-Suransky ignores, too, not just this record of attacks (can he offer a list of antisemitic, misogynistic, homophobic attacks by “white nationalists” in Europe?), but also what the polls tell us about Muslim attitudes. A poll taken by the Anti-Defamation League in 2014 measured Muslim attitudes in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the U.K., and showed that an average of 55 percent of Western European Muslims harbored anti-Semitic attitudes, more than twice the level — ranging from 12 to 29 percent — for non-Muslims in the same countries.

Surely he knows both about this, and about other polls with similar results. Given those figures, and given, too, that the only attacks on Jews in Europe in recent decades have been not by “white nationalists” but by Muslims, shouldn’t that information be revealed rather than concealed? Or would it show something about Muslim antisemitism that the author wishes to keep hidden? Would it show that antisemitism is far more prevalent among, and much more likely to be acted upon by, the Muslims, for whom Polakaw-Suransky wishes, at whatever cost to the truth, to garner sympathy?

White nationalism may be the only thing that saves the West.

If whites don’t stand up for their own heritage and culture and race, then the left and Muslims — one and the same, for now — are more than willing to destroy whites. And that Western civilization that everyone wants to immigrate to, wasn’t built by Muslims and blacks. Western civilization was built primarily by whites.

muslims follow the qur’an to the letter, as it suits them. Where there will be a problem is when the qur’an is in conflict with the globalists, which will happens, as muslims will not submit or coexist. There will be extreme violence in the fight for domination between islam and globalism.

what I am hoping for is that the Israeli’s (because they are our best hope) have secretly invented a bomb that acts like a neutron bomb without the radioactivity.. A bomb that will take out all people in a chosen area.. That way, all that has to be gotten rid of is bodies, and all the lovely antiquities and historic places in Europe, UK etc will be saved.. Also, it would mean no massive rebuilds. Life could get a sense of normality fairly soon after the conflict..

Impossible to remove the radiation as although the neutron bomb is radiation free the need is for a real nuke to kick it off (rather like a hydrogen bomb where a nuke must be used first). Wonderful idea in theory but not in practice.

No “maybe” about it. The so-called “refugee” invasion and the continued toleration of the INVASION of aliens (legal and illegal) – particularly from Third World countries – constitute the “shock troops” of the globalist, oligarch “New World Ordure” cabal. The plan: destroy whatever hegemony the nations of the West still retain. Destroy their sovereignty. Cause as much strife, economic hardship, crime, mayhem and murder as possible. The brainwashed zombies of the Left are just the current “useful idiots” helping this to occur.

When the situation gets bad enough the sheeple of the once-free nations of the West will beg their so-called “leaders” to “do something”. Then the NWO cabal will come out with their “solution”: WORLD GOVERNMENT. (Translated: enslavement of all who are not part of their cabal or the government drones that do their dirty work.)

Muslims like to insert themselves into everything in order to promote Islam. So they’ll jump on the history bandwagon every time they get.
idiots now believe Columbus was a fool, and found teaching and inspirations in Muslim sailors (who never sailed anywhere significant). He was white and a slaver who trashed the natives, so he fits the libtard narrative perfectly.
Or because Vikings were hired as mercenaries to conquest Constantinople (seems that libtards just found out about it now), they became instant muslims with a press of a button.

Spot on: ALL of their architecture(Taj Mahal) is Byzantine in origin. They are given false credit for keeping the Greek & Roman authors that we have now. Those are about 10% of what was before they destroyed them all and those few came from the Christian(byzantine) monasteries that they failed to destroy.

Many whites have been drained totally by the constant barrage of leftist propaganda trying to inflict guilt upon all whites about Nazis and colonialism and it still continues. Considering that the modern world is almost entirely a product of the west (with the help now of the east)and that colonialism/conquest/slavery was a habit of ALL races of which ONLY whites decided to stop of their own accord, I have NO sympathy and NO guilt for being white and while not arrogantly proud I am certainly not tainted with the shame epidemic that flourishes in those emasculated males and would be dominant females of the left.

This ‘white nationalism’ crap is pure bullsh*t.
I could give a damn less how much melanin someone is carrying. But when you attack everything I believe in, and blame the West and ‘whites’ for all human ills all the while pushing political systems that simply don’t work and coddling the worst the human race- no matter what ‘color’ those happen to be- has to offer, well, those are fighting words and actions. I’m American, of 100% European extraction (that means as white as it is possible to be), individualist, capitalist, and I’m damned proud of all of that. And I’m armed.
And I also don’t give a damn what ‘color’ the purveyors of said bullsh*t are. They will all bleed red, and that is all that should really count.

I wonder whom Zev Jabotinsky would be warning his fellow Jews about in the Eurapia these days? White nationalists? Or muslums? I’d imagine it would be the same class of people he organized Jewish self defense groups against in Yerushalem in the 1920’s — right before the 1929 muslum pogrom against Jews in Yerushalem.

The writer of the article misses the whole point. The Left/liberal /feminists pro-jihadi and the corrupt MSM will smear , lie about everyone who they see as getting in their way of imposing their agenda.

The third wave feminism is part of that gameplan http://tinyurl.com/y9ll38ls

And jihadi muslims are demanding we stop honoring Armed forces & instead support jihadis http://bit.ly/2qvcHov

And that is why alternate media is so important to the fightback. But how many really take on themselves to fund these sites ? The ones who do are part of the fightback,… others are part of the problem.

And result of such carelessness is there to see in EU and parts of Left/Liberal ruled states/cities.

While Hugh Fitzgerald is very hard to like (impatient, abrasive)he is one of the keenest intellects available to work on islam and jihad and I would be very loath to disagree with him, because his erudition and analyses are second to none. If you do disagree you have to ensure good foundations. I doubt very much that he disagrees with what you posted but from what I could see, his tack was obvious and your point irrelevant in the context of his limited but definitive attack on that leftist apologist. I am sure that he feels about the lft much as do we all but that was not his target just one liar.

That is the point I was making . if we only respond to one liar on the Left without exposing the big picture , it works to their advantage.

To be fair to HF, he picks his targets very carefully, but when he does, he pulls them apart. IIRC he does not see the opposition as a united group as there are many subgroups. I like most tend to shotgun them as a whole but they are made up of many disparate groups all bound by lies and no criticism that ignores this will ever succeed.

You always have to bear in mind that almost every accusation the left makes about the opposition is projection. Once you realize that you can say “baloney.”

Those ten thousand dead Nigerian Christians slaughtered since the beginning of the 21st century?
It was white, right wing, nationalists that did it.

Yes they NEVER told us that the Biafran war was a muslim vs Christian one did they? Or that the massacre of the supposed PKI Chinese communists(90% were innocent Christiansand whose homes/businesses(it was planned) were filled by Indonesians the very next day ) by Indonesian muslims was jihad did they? in fact the UK supported the muslims in the former whilst the US supported the muslims in the latter.

So that was the dishonest cover story the Indonesian muslums came up with to cover for their pogrom(s) against ethnic Chinese in Indonesia? I know for a fact no one in Indonesia has been held responsible for the slaughter of 200,000 to 800,000 assorted kufar (mostly Catholic) in E. Timor in the 1970’s.
I didn’t even know about these pogroms against ethnic Chinese in Indonesia until a S. Korean Christian told me about them some 6 years ago.

I’m not worried about White Nationalism (whatever that is), I’m more worried about Negro worship. The kind that blindly puts in Negroes as objects of worship. Like Congogressmen, “President”, Reverend, etc.

This piece by Sasha Polakow-Suransky, a scion of South African Jews, is really very useful; it perfectly distills the mindset and attitude of the secular Jewish elite.

Of course, many write pieces just like this for the Times and other media outlets, in which they are heavily ensconced.

Quite frankly, they present a grave and present danger to the classical liberal tradition that is the foundation of the West.

Pamela Geller, Caroline Glick, Daniel Greenfield and others perform a valuable service, as is the case here, in refuting their arguments.

They serve as bulkheads against the tide.

White nationalism? I prefer to think of it as European/Western civilization preservation. I don’t care what hue you are so long as you subscribe to the Judeo/Christian/Humanist/Secular societies the West has wrought.

I work with wonderful Indian and Chinese people and they preserve their cultures but are happy to observe Western/Euro life. For example, last Christmas I saw many Indians buying Christmas trees and decorations for their homes and I have been to Diwali festivals and have seen wonderful displays of dancing and explanations as to what Diwali is all about and it’s great.

It would appear that most other faith/belief traditions are happy to co-exist with each other, except the elephant in Western society that no dyed-in-the-wool fascist politician would ever dare name. They’re all too busy cloaking all the rapes, bombings, vehicular murders and stabbings so they are returned to office so civilization can die a little more.

The problem was, is and continues to be islam, that religion that says those who fail to follow it should and can be killed. End of story.

White culture has done more to improve the living conditions of every single person on earth than any other. Blacks and latinos whine all day long but what have they produced. Welfare state? A career out of calling others racists? Give me a break. How much $h!t can a wigger take?

White Nationalism….

Such as a play on words is the black lives matter fictionary or as I righteously refer to them BoweL Movement (blm). However, nowadays in this post modern era of pathetics, ignorants, and lethargic being it is now an era of White Priviledge and I guess deservingly so, but not because blacks refer to white priviledge as a racist momentum, but Whites are what made the free world, and yes that includes Europe and Asia.

White priviledge:

Islam and its muslim puppets have generated a hatred, a mistrust not based on white priviledge, but in a comic book called the quran.

Blacks all but cornered the market regarding entertainment to include television and radio commercials. If you notice, blacks represent 70% (at least) of all music aired as either background music or theme music and represent many actors in movies, shows, and game shows. Commercials in general are of a black reference in some form.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964. This Act should be rescinded and totally disqualified from any “Bill of Rights” in America. Blacks not only use and abuse its intent as a racially motivating tool of racism, but in conjunction with the hundreds, if not thousands of other minority claimed benefits, have more rights than ANY non black in America.

The idiotic, DNA flawed and womb rejected likes of lebron james and colin kaepernick are nothing but proof that failed DNA exists and wombs from which they come, should be thorougly cleaned and quarantined

Muslims whine and cry islamophobia and not because of white priviledge, but because they are a criminally deviant, child and woman raping, anti-non muslim, terrorist dominant group of tunnel worshippers.

Blacks whine and cry racism around every corner. Yet blacks, intentionally inject racial identity into the equation by simply identifying themselves as racist, overtly. The list of black identity follows:

Black
Negro
Person/People of color
Minority
N****r
african American
and the list goes on……….

Family Feud was never aired on BET until the Black guy Steve Harvey became the host of it.

White cops were/are targeted as racist murderers when in fact each and every black boy or girl killed by A cop, was a criminal deviant and was so DNA flawed, that they tried using the “po black boy” song n dance as a reason why they did what they did, though KNOWINGLY CRIMINAL and deviant not to mention disrespectful.

Blacks have continuously dishonored and disrespected my country. They disrespect the flag, national anthem, and disgrace our history. Blacks are so racist, that it proves a serious DNA flaw openly exists. When blacks whine about not getting votes as actors or directors, it means to do better and prove your value.

Slavery is a common reference to reasons why blacks are criminal, deviant, stupid, and lazy. This is not a rant with choice words, but fact based on daily truths seen by the world. Slavery has been over for tens of decades, Get Over It.

Oddly enough, islam and blacks is a contradiction, yet somehow blacks float towards islam, but islam has not ever nor will it ever float towards blacks, period except to use them as puppets.lp

Because you are black is no reason for me to jump through hurdles to appease you in any manner.

When blacks who served in the U.S. military, have separate groups like minority veterans or black veterans groups they get no respect from me. That is racism and NOT white privledge.

Obama, that filthy piece of human inconvenience he married, and Holder prescribed racism in America. When obama ran for the presidency, he was running as both, a White AND Black guy loaded with white DNA. The day he stepped into the Oval Office, he becamed black. To show how intellectually flawed most of yhe blacks in America are, they voted for obama not as an American, but as blacks for a brutha. As far as whites in America voting for obama, you are a witness to gullibility in a tunnel.So, if there has ever been White Priviledge, it is when whites had the priviledge of voting for the worst president ever, obama, and coddling muslims………

America, white priviledge is a media provoking, black defined and racially deceptive ideology that is black priviledge because of the blackness

The sooner that the EU and the west realize that jihad is elimination of the West via rape and genocide and fight this as a war on such, the better. Survival of the west and prevention of extermination of the white race by a billion plus muslims following a false prophet needs to become priorirty one! Cut the cash flow, return immigrants to country of origin, end excused for crimes by muslims, in short, defend yourselves before its too late.
