The original speech for the Brussels demo

People get prosecuted when they tell the truth – they get prosecuted if they show the crowd, that emperor wears no clothes – as in the fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen.
Some people have recently been trying to get the truth into the open, where it is possible for all who cares, to see it. Not the analyzed and manipulated truth conveyed through corrupt media, with no idea about freedom of speech - but the simple basic truth, that Europe is under attack. This attack is not done conventually, with bombs and soldiers, but through a sneaking, undermining process – we are under attack through media, infiltration of our institutions and direct harassment in the streets.

Now, how do you suppose the citizens of Europe react to this sneaking attacks? Well we march for peace, we try to get the message of our worry through to the people who our supposed to protect us - by peaceful means. And how are we received: As villains, xenophobes and racists.
 
Well people around here have just about had enough of that, we are sick and tired of being harassed and villanized because we are saying what is obvious to everybody, that Islam is a threat to the European civilization. How many terrorplots will have to succeed? How many rapes will have to be pulled through? How many areas of Europeans soil has to be given over to Sharia? Before the state wakes up to the obvious facts? Well everybody here agrees, enough is enough it stops here, we have had enough – No sharia here!

When Socrates in ancient times stood prosecuted by the tyrants, he did not step down – he could have done so and saved his skin – but he preferred to say whatever was on his mind, to search for truth in speech – and he was killed for it. He has inspired the true democrats ever since, and now we stand here again, another foul tyrannical government wants us to step down, or drink that cup of hemlock – as Socrates. All that has come today, here in this tyrannical city has been prepared to drink that cup of hemlock, we have braved our fears, we have stood up for the democratic first principle of freedom of speech, because we believe in it. We will not be silenced, we will not surrender our countries and kin, we will keep on fighting for what we hold dear.
 
The best politicians a people can have, are those who gallantly fights for the rights of their people. These politicians are so very rare these days, all we are left with are corrupt and weak specimens of the latter - like the Mayor of this city. Law is not something that automatically will appear and then function, it is something we should all hold dear and nurture in our lives. When law becomes a thing that is played with, by corrupt politicians, the existence of law disappears. Law is supposed to be the inner wall of the country, every citizen should grasp the essence of law and put it to their heart. And in the inner core of Law their lies virtue of justice – the quintessential principle of our society.
 
Now Roman law and justice is under serious threat these days, both from sloppiness of the responsible politicians, but also by the law of Sharia. This system of law stems from the Koran, and it has nothing to do with public opinion. It is produced and upheld by religious figures, analyzing and judging according to tradition and conduct in the muslim countries. This has produced a civilization of decay and stagnation – there is absolutely no development in the middle east – only chaos and poverty. Now the defenders of Roman Law, our publicly elected politicians and the judges, cave in to Sharia. Because it is a better system of law? No, because they are afraid of the consequences – they are afraid of the muslim street, the mullahs, the rioters, the marauders and they react by giving in – hereby betraying the citizens of their country, their brothers and family.
It is a disgrace.

Everybody is in chains and yet everybody is free, That truth was beaconed upon us by the philosopher of the French revolution Rousseau. By chaining ourselves to Roman Law decreed by public vote, we have freed ourselves from the natural rule of the strongest. We still believe in this, but it does work with the muslim streets, that has no respect for Roman law, they only obey the rule of the strongest. Hereby we as law abiding citizens have been caught between the ever increasing muslim Ummah and the spineless conduct of our politicians – unable to figth for ourselves, because we respect Roman Law, and undefended by the law itself. Roman law only works, if the citizens actually respect it – if a large portion of the population does not respect it, it becomes a death trap.
 
This death trap has been set up by that house in there – the EU magistrate. This house of arrogance and greed, this muddy castle of ineptitude and vainness. Selling off the citizens of Europe to the nearest thug down the street, while parading and flagging their own disability.
 
Not until this house of doubletalk and tyranny is put back on track, will the true European spirit that we fight to maintain flourish and bloom. Not until the crooked, spineless politicians have been ousted from this centre of corruption and manipulation will we be able to life in freedom again.
 
It is sad, but it is like that, the forces that were supposed to protect us are stabbing us in the back, for their career, for it little money, to be able to throw the next party with jugglers and extravaganza.

With no real interest in what really matters: Democracy and free speech.
But we stand here, the faithful, the believers in democracy, the sons and daughters of Socrates - and we do not give in, they can harass us, they can tell us that we are racists and islamophobes, we do not care – because we care for our children, and we want them to live in peace and freedom. So we put forth this example to follow, to brave the unjust laws, the prosecution, the muslim ummah - in a peaceful manner.
Because we take our freedom of speech seriously – in a gesture to that brave and free country over there in America, a comment to the constitutional first amendment.
And we reach out our hand to all the sons and daughters of European civilisation - and call for unity against the islamization of the west.

Let us all be free and the brave, and create another revival of that Hellenic spirit – that represents the heart of Europe.

Let us put that line in the sand now, and say:
 
Stop the islamisation of Europe!
 
No sharia here!
 
Democracy not theocracy!
 
Enough is enough!

There were peaceful demonstrators arrested on 9/11

 

After an eventful day in Brussels on 9.11 followed by some hectic days
where many different views on what happened came to light and tempers
have been going high, it seems as good time for a little reflection.

The reason for demonstrating on the streets is that our future is at risk. Our countries and continent is threatened by hostile forces. It is only natural that this is a very serious and emotional matter for the people involved. This is obviously true for both SIOE and Vlams Belang.

SIOE wanted a peaceful demonstration, we want peace in our countries and we want peace on our continent. We do not want confrontation with the police. In fact we hope for and expect the common European policeman to be sympathetic to our views, since the police know first hand what problems Europe is faced with from the increasing Islamisation of our Continent.

In Brussels different agendas were at work and despite SIOEs efforts to prevent it, confrontations with the police did happen. This was very frustrating for SIOE, especially for those who have been directly working to avoid this.

At the SIOE demonstration the police were well behaved. But a violent confrontation went on between Vlaams Belang in another part of the City. And more and more stories are coming out from people who were arrested on their way to join the SIOE group, some simply for carrying flags.

SIOE deeply regrets giving the impression that these people got arrested by fault of their own. We have no reason to believe that all those people provoked the police and we have no way of knowing that they did.   Those remarks where made with the experience with the police at the SIOE demonstration in mind. On the other hand we have now definate knowledge of several people that were arrested without provocation. Read the stories. However now that we know of these unfair arrest, we plan to go further with this and we will go all the way if necessary.

And though Vlams Belang has different goals and agendas than SIOE, they have behaved like a good ally to SIOE until they made their own demonstration. They have been a big help in planing the whole thing and they offered legal aid to arrested SIOE members. And it is not our place and purpose to pass judgement on their agenda, the methods they find necessary or on what happened in a different part of the city.

We are still very sad about the confrontations with the police, but we need to stay focused on the real dangers to peace in Europe.

Vlaams Belang broke the agreement

The agreement said that no Flanders flags would be flown and Vlaams Belang told us that its members and supporters would, therefore, fly no flags.

We have read comments by posters on websites and blogs suggesting we are being too hard on Vlaams Belang.

People must understand that we consider that Vlaams Belang broke an agreement which said that no political party would use 11th September 2007 to promote its own political agenda.

The agreement said that no Flanders flags would be flown and Vlaams Belang told us that its members and supporters would, therefore, fly no flags.

In return SIOE would report and support any future Vlaams Belang anti-Islamism events.

It was also repeatedly reported that Schumann Square was the assembly point, completely contradicting SIOE’s instructions to assemble in Luxembourg Place.

This could have lead completely innocent SIOE supporters, with no interest in Belgium’s internal politics, into what developed into nasty situation in Schumann Square.

SIOE considered the safety of its demonstrators to be of paramount importance and our Aims and Rules explained this.

At a press conference scheduled later in the afternoon within the EU Parliament, Vlaams Belang distributed a leaflet reporting only the Schumann Square incident, and which also condemned the police for its “brutality”.

Following Anders Gravers and Stephen Gash having heated discussions with Vlaams Belang about the content and tone of the leaflet, the SIOE organisers refused to sit on the same stage with that party’s representatives.

Vlaams Belang made it clear in their statement to the assembled press, that the SIOE demonstration in Luxembourg Place was separate to the Vlaams Belang demonstration in Schumann Square.

One reporter suggested that organising a second demonstration at the same time and date as SIOE’s was a rather a stupid thing to do, and SIOE agrees.

Subsequent TV news reports juxtaposed pictures of Anders Gravers and Stephen Gash with violent scenes from the Schumann Square debacle, even though neither of them even went to Schumann Square.

They both resent that.

Events at Schumann Square actually prevented SIOE supporters progressing there from Luxembourg Place, as originally planned.

SIOE considers that Vlaams Belang played right into Thielemans’s hands, which he must now be rubbing together with glee with an “I told you so” look on his fat face.

Some female Vlaams Belang supporters jokingly wore niqabs in Schumann Square. 

Well, if Vlaams Belang doesn’t get its finger out of its political ass pretty damned quick, such women may find themselves compelled to wear niqabs when outdoors, if they are allowed out of the house.

The only way Islamism will be defeated is by fighting it single-mindedly, but you have to have a brain to have a mind, and it’s pretty obvious some leaders of some political parties are brainless.

Let us make it completely clear

One minutes silence in respect for the 9/11 victims

Let us make it completely clear. There was only one SIOE demonstration: The demonstration planned for a long time that was advertised as starting from Luxembourg Place in Brussels.

Although Mayor Thielemans disallowed SIOE’s demonstration, it certainly lived up to all the rules SIOE had promised the Brussels police.

Vlaams Belang had repeatedly tried to persuade SIOE to hold only a static demonstration on Schumann Square outside the commission, suggesting that some agreement had been reached with the Brussels police about this.

Nevertheless, SIOE stood firm on its demand for marching from Luxembourg Square to Schumann Square.  

We believe, therefore, that Vlaams Belang attempted to hijack SIOE’s demonstration because they knew that they could publicise their own domestic political agenda, on the back of the world news generated by our protest.

SIOE had given political parties the chance to show they are really serious in wanting Stop Islamisation Of Europe, by putting their other political aspirations to one side. 

However, Vlaams Belang clearly was unable to do this.

  

SIOE’s demonstration was completely peaceful.  

When Anders Gravers and Stephen Gash arrived to Luxembourg Place they were greeted by high-ranking police officers who announced that “the demonstration was forbidden” but that we would be tolerated if we stayed on Luxembourg Square and abided by our own aims and rules, which of course we did.
As the safety of its supporters and public order has always been paramount in SIOE’s organisation of the demonstration, SIOE complied with police instructions at all times without question, and had a peaceful demonstration in Luxembourg Place.

SIOE can only praise the police for their efforts.

The police only made a couple of administrative arrests of single persons that apparently had not understood SIOE’s rule of only displaying SIOE’s slogans on banners.
 
 

With this gathering we have proved to the world, Belgium and Mayor Thielemans, that SIOE can conduct demonstrations where peaceful ordinary people may respectfully deliver their messages to our politicians.  

We did exactly that when a petition of 10,000 signatures complaining about Mayor Thielemans’s decision to ban the 9/11 demo was passed on to Gerard Batten MEP who will raise the matter of Mayor Thielemans’s prohibition in the parliament, in order to secure the right of peaceful people to gather and express their freedom of speech according to the EU-constitution.  

Mr Batten ensured the petition was handed to Mayor Thielemans’s office.

SIOE does not wish to be associated with Vlaams Belang who held its own separate demonstration on Schumann Square. 

Firstly, because we believe they obviously did not respect police instructions and secondly, we consider they vandalised SIOE’s efforts by holding their own demonstration, thereby distracting the both media and, more seriously, demonstrators who genuinely only wish to Stop Islamisation Of Europe.

Why couldn’t Vlaams Belang have made a demonstration some other day? 

Why did they have to use the same time and SIOE’s slogans?    The reason can surely only be that they deliberately tried to use SIOE to get in the media’s spotlight.  

Whatever the reasons SIOE considers Vlaams Belang’s action to have been irresponsible and reprehensible.

This is why SIOE strongly disassociates itself from the Vlaams Belang demonstration that displayed Flemish flags, contrary to SIOE’s aims and rules that allowed people regardless of race, religion and political convictions to unite and say “no” to the insidious Islamisation of our societies, without the baggage of political parties. That is to say a wide front with a single goal, to Stop Islamisation Of Europe. 

Therefore, it is disappointing that both the Brussels Journal and Gates of Vienna have stubbornly claimed that Schumann Square was the meeting place despite SIOE not having mentioned this place as an assembly point.  

It’s also disappointing to see Gates of Vienna and Centre for Vigilant Freedom write about the two different demonstrations as if they were a single one.  

SIOE is now establishing new branches in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, France and Italy.   

Now is the time to create a non-party-political organization with only one goal, to stop the Islamisation of our countries.

By popular demand we will be establishing a subscription membership scheme. 

SIOE has decided, for the present time, not to co-operate with political parties in the future but only with individuals and organizations that share our wish for stopping the Islamisation of Europe, unless we have a written agreement drawn up by SIOE and signed by the leaders of the parties.
In other words a legally binding contract on SIOE’s terms.
However our main goal is still to attract ordinary people who wish to Stop Islamisation Of Europe.

Open letter to Mr. Terry Davis, Secretary General of the Council of Europe.

 

I wish to express my deepest concerns and displeasure with your statements in the release 590 (2007)
https://wcd.coe.int/ViewDoc.jsp?id=1181255&Site=DC&BackColorInternet=F5CA75&BackColorIntranet
=F5CA75&BackColorLogged=A9BACE.

Your statements:
 
1.  “The fact is that Europe and its values are indeed under threat, but the danger is not coming from Islam.”
 
2. “Our common European values are undermined by bigots and radicals, both islamists and islamophobes, who exploit fears and prejudice for their own political objectives.”
 
3. “It is very important to remember that the freedom of assembly and expression can be restricted to protect the rights and freedoms of others, including the freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This applies to everyone in Europe including the millions of Europeans of Islamic faith, who were the main target of today’s shameful display of bigotry and intolerance.”
 
could hardly have been uttered more precisely by Adolf Hitler, we aggressive Europeans here being compared with Jews in Hitler´s terminology. And poor immigrant, imperialistic Islam , which has only one wish according to the “Holy Quran” and the Hadith: To attain a World Caliphate without unbelievers or with a few tolerated dhimmis like yourself, now take the place of the German People (das Deutsche Volk) of the Hitler ideology in your dictatorial EU-scenario of the Euromediterranean /Eurabian Partnership/Union. A partnership kept secret to us “criminal” Europeans (Freddy Thielemans) for now 12 years. And this although the EU has promised the 10 Euromediterranean Partner countries the 4 fundamental rights of the EU
in Naples Dec. 2-3, 2003 http://ec.europa.eu/comm/external_relations/euromed/conf/naples/index.htm  including free immigration to Europe of the populations of 9 Muslim countries , besides the Balkan Muslims!!
 
Mr. Davis . You betray us - and did a long time ago already in your antieuropean , european-racist ECRI conclusions from Oct. 16, 2000 http://www.coe.int/t/e/human_rights/ecri/2-european_conference/1-documents_adopted/02-general_conclusions.asp#P87_7188 . Not Europeans who do not want to see our children grow in the sharia
 
You betrayed us when you let your Audio Visual Observatory arrange a Symposium in Moscow in July of 2005 to learn Media censorship in the form of “selfregulation” from the much experienced Russians   http://www.obs.coe.int/online_publication/expert/moscow_workshop.pdf.en

And the EU - which you are to be included in as an institution according to the new “Reform Treaty”, alias the Constitutional Treaty, which was rejected by the Dutch and French , but now to be pressed down upon us in spite of European popular disgust to it - also has deprived our media of the right of the free expression hypocritically promised in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights , article 11 http://www.europarl.europa.eu/comparl/libe/elsj/charter/art11/default_en.htm.
 
Mr. Davis. You and your European Council, the EU and your Grand Masters are the bigots and the real danger to Europe. You have deserved your nickname: EUSSR. A name which has become even much more known after the scandalous treatment of the Flemish Party parlamentarians and Italian and other EU-parlamentarians at the Place Schuman in Brussels on 9/11 2007. This is really shameful.
 
Be assured: You are really doing a great job to

1. make the Europeans stick together and feel as brothers in their just struggle and self-defence against those who betray us.

2. We feel united in our struggle against this foreign imperialistic , fascistic ideology, Islam.

3. And you make us return to our ancient European values. Pressure begets counter-pressure.
 
We Europeans shall remember you all, when democracy returns. In the meantime, we dislike you.

“Europe is threatened by bigots - not by Islam”

Statement by Terry Davis, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, on the march “Against the Islamisation of Europe” 9/11 in Brussels

….if you are a muslim!

Strasbourg, 11.09.2007 - European values are under threat, say the organisers of a protest march under the banner “Against the Islamisation of Europe” which was due to place today in Brussels in spite of the ban by the city Mayor. The fact is that Europe and its values are indeed under threat, but the danger is not coming from Islam. Our common European values are undermined by bigots and radicals, both islamists and islamophobes, who exploit fears and prejudice for their own political objectives.

The self-proclaimed defenders of European values say that the Mayor has violated their rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. The freedom of assembly and the freedom of expression are indeed essential preconditions for democracy, but they should not be regarded as a licence to offend. I will not enter into the discussion about whether the march should have been allowed or not, but I note that the protesters’ reading of the Convention is selective to say the least. It is very important to remember that the freedom of assembly and expression can be restricted to protect the rights and freedoms of others, including the freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This applies to everyone in Europe including the millions of Europeans of Islamic faith, who were the main target of today’s shameful display of bigotry and intolerance.

Eye witness report from Brussels on 9/11

On the 11th of September I broke the law.

To break the law is not something an ordinary law-abiding citizen will want to do, nor is breaking the law anything to be proud of, but on the 11th of September I decided to break the law by excercizing what I see as my rightful privilege, my Freedom of Expression, and by doing something which I think touch all of us to some degree, the 911 terror attacks on the World Trade Center and I wished to manifest the remembrance of the victims from the terror attacks on 911, now at it’s 6th year anniversary and to protest against the ‘Islamization’ of Europe which is creeping into our laws, institutions and social liberties with the emergance of more violence, political and none political, the oppressive instrumentation such as censorship and banning the right to freedom of expression, not to forget potential terror attacks.

Walking towards the demonstration was a stroll a bit out of the ordinary, the first greeting was the sound from the hoovering police helicopter patrolling above, coming from Avenue D’Auderghem towards Place Schuman I was met by police barricades blocking the road for traffic but people could pass through, on the last bit I counted 12 armored police vans and various vehicles, the most impressive was the huge water cannon truck, sirens were heard from here and there.
Coming to Pl. Schuman made me smile when I saw two cordons of battle-geared police officers walking in a line which made me think of a Duck walking with its Ducklings in my imagination while watching the slight funny walk when they are all hampered by carrying their long truncheons, huge boots and leg protection up to their knees plus the rest of the gear, the Brussels police had brought in the whole cavalery, horses included which rode in the round-about.
I decided to scan the area and walked counter clockwise around the round-about on Place Schuman looking for any demonstrators, so far all I had seen was police ducks and fellow pedestrians.

Back from Brussels!

We have just arrived back home in the evening (wednesday).

Big thanks to all who attended the demonstration in Brussels, and those who tried to!

We’ll as soon as possible bring an update on the demo.

THE DEMO IS STILL ON! - BE THERE!!

Contrary to false press reports, the STOP ISLAMISATION OF EUROPE demonstration in Brussels on 11th September is still happening
