What is “The Narrative”?

The Narrative is the name given the propaganda campaign that Islamic fundamentalists and extremists use to convince otherwise peaceful Muslims to fight the west and sometimes martyr themselves. Understanding  “The Narrative” is crucial to achieving peace in Afghanistan and to combating Islamic Terror all over the world.

From: Islamization Watch

We have to ask ourselves why are the ‘American-Crusader-Zionist conspiracy’ theories or ‘The Narrative’ – as it is put here – so prevalent in the Islamic world as well as with Muslims in the western world. What we need to do is look at the basis for these ideas – and we might find that therein lies the belief that the west should fall and that Islam should be victorious. If Muslims widely believe this – then the conspiracies and so on are simply layers. Just as with Hitler – these types of conspiracy theory stem from an underlying supremacist ideology.

Geert Wilders Acquitted Of “Insulting” Muslims

“AMSTERDAM-Populist politician Geert Wilders’ negative views of Islam – he has called it “retarded” and “inherently violent” – are his opinions, not irrefutable facts, Dutch prosecutors argued Tuesday at his criminal trial for “inciting hatred”.

Wilders has argued that his views of Islam are supported by expert and academic analysis, and speaking the truth cannot be a crime. He says the charges against him are an attack on the freedom of speech.

But at the second hearing of his closely watched trial, prosecutors countered that there is no general agreement about the nature of Islam, and Wilders’ statements are opinions that cross the legal threshold… “

Bombing of mosque in Afghanistan

“A bombing in a mosque in Afghanistan killed at least 15 people, including the governor of the northeastern province of Kunduz, officials said.

The governor, Muhammad Omar, was prominent in the government’s battle against Taliban guerrillas who have been expanding their areas of attack from southern strongholds into northern provinces that for years have been relatively calm.

The U.S. condemned the killing “in the strongest possible terms,” said State Department acting spokesman Mark Toner. “By attacking a place of worship, whoever was responsible has demonstrated a clear disregard for the Afghan people and the religion they practice.”

Dutch PM-elect forms govt backed by Geert Wilders, anti-Islam MP

“THE HAGUE: Dutch Prime Minister-elect Mark Rutte on Friday started work to forge a new rightist, minority government that will rely heavily on the support of anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders.

Dutch Queen Beatrix on Thursday night cleared Rutte to form a VVD-CDA government that has 52 seats out of 150 in the Dutch lower house of parliament. He said he hoped to complete the task within a week.

Observers said Friday the new power wielded by Wilders will test the Netherlands’ reputation for multi-cultural tolerance. His influence has already become apparent after he announced last week that a governing pact carrying his party’s support would result in a burqa ban and a 50 percent reduction in immigration.

“Dutch tolerance is waning, it is losing ground,” Free University of Amsterdam sociologist Geert de Vries told AFP on Friday.”

What many seem to miss is this: it is not Geert Wilders who is expressing a lack of multi-cultural tolerance.

The greatest threat to multi-cultural tolerance is Islam. Islam has demonstrated, over and over and over again that it, once it has the power, will not show multi-cultural tolerance.

Wilders is working to preserve multi-cultural tolerance by slowing down the influence of the greatest threat to multi-cultural tolerance on the planet: Islam.

The Danger of Multiculturalism

Multiculturalism sounds like a good idea, right? Until you begin allowing an ideology that insists it is the only valid world view, an ideology with the stated goal of destroying or subjugating all other religions. That is what Islam intends, what it is deeply committed to.

It’s like wanting to have one big room where all the animals live together. Sounds really sweet until you put a lion in with the sheep, goats, deer and puppies. Your little zoo will become a very bloody lion’s room. Only the lion will be left and you’re a fool if you did not see it coming.

All “religions” are not the same. If you don’t protect the freedom and privileges you value, they can and will be destroyed.

Europe: Paralyzed by Political Correctness

Manifesto against Totalitarianism:

“After having overcome fascism, nazism, and Stalinism, the world now faces a new global threat: Islamism…it is not a clash of civilizations nor an antagonism of West and East that we are witnessing, but a global struggle that confronts Democrats and Theocrats.”

“Political correctness has been the fertilizer that has helped Islam grow in Britain, but Europe may be forced to choose between political correctness and the survival of its civilization.”
