Buddhists, Dawkins and Gays worried by Islam in Europe

Stop the Warsaw Megamosque

The rapidly accelerating growth of Islam in Europe has produced a few unexpected alliances: Buddhists have joined Polish Nationalists in protesting the construction of a Mosque in Warsaw; atheist Richard Dawkins is having second thoughts about the collapse of Christianity in Britain, and the English Defence League - vilified by the Islamists as a bunch of football hooligans - has formed a gay division.

Posters in Warsaw

Buddhists join Polish crusade against Megamosque in Warsaw
The Polish activist group Europe of the Future held a protest on 27th March against the proposal to build a new Saudi-financed mosque in Warsaw. The predominantly Catholic Poles objected to the fact that the Saudis could build triumphalist mosques in European capitals, but Christians were not allowed to build churches or even possess Bibles in Saudi Arabia.

Interestingly, a Buddhist organisation played a leading role in the protest. The organisation is called Diamond Way and is headed by a Dane named Ole Nydahl. Members of the Diamond Way organisation were prominent in TV coverage of the demonstration against the mosque.

Ole Nydahl is quite forthright about the Islamic menace to all other religions. In a 2008 interview he was asked: "In your view, is there a redeeming value within the Abrahamic religions?" To which he replied:

"The Abrahamic religions, the ones that follow our constitution, treat women well, don't blow up people ... Judaism and Christianity are fine. Islam, I warn against. I know the Koran, I know the life story of Mohammad and I think we cannot use that in our society today. "

Of course Buddhists don't normally criticise other spiritual paths, but it's OK to tell the truth about Islam because Islam isn't a spiritual path, it's a contagious mental disease like rabies. Islam has destroyed Buddhism wherever it has had the power.

Islam has destroyed entire Buddhist civilisations. And of course the Poles have also suffered from Islamic attacks, but unlike the Buddhists they have always beaten them back, most notably at the siege of Vienna where a Polish army under Jan III Sobieski saved Christendom from annihilation.



Richard Dawkins views Christianity as a bulwark against Islam
Christianity is in decline in Europe as a whole, and has collapsed in Britain in particular, leaving even the most committed atheists wondering what is going to fill the spiritual vacuum.

From The Times:
"Even among the world’s most famous atheists, the crisis of faith among Christians in Europe has been met with concern.

Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, said: “There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings. I am not aware of any Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death. I have mixed feelings about the decline of Christianity, in so far as Christianity might be a bulwark against something worse.”

Peter Tatchell, the human rights campaigner and one of the organisers of the Protest the Pope demonstration at Westminster Cathedral last weekend, came to the defence of a Christian street preacher who was fined £1,000 in Glasgow for saying that homosexuality was a sin.

Shawn Holes, a Baptist from America, was charged with “uttering homophobic remarks” in a breach of the peace that prosecutors said was “aggravated by religious prejudice”.

Mr Tatchell said: “The price of freedom of speech is that we sometimes have to put up with opinions that are objectionable and offensive. Just as people should have the right to criticise religion, people of faith should have the right to criticise homosexuality.”

It is a sign of how bad things have become that the faith’s enemies seem now to be defending it."

Gays respond to Islamic attacks by joining EDL
British LGBT have responded to the vicious anti-gay jihad being waged in London and other Islamified cities by joining the English Defence League, which in its early days had something of a macho redneck image. But it now has a Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered Division campaigning against increasingly violent homophobic attacks by Muslims.

The EDL is also attracting growing numbers of Sikhs and Jews who are also coming under attack as the Muslim population rises. The only safe place to wear a yarmulke or fly an Israeli flag in Britain now is at an EDL demonstration.

The ever-increasing influence of the Ummah in Europe

To the Ummah, we are all 'najis kafirs'
European infidels are beginning to realise that if we don't hang together, we will all hang separately. First they'll come for the Jews, then the Gays, and eventually the Buddhists, Christians, secularists and everybody else.

A Warrior Cult

Coercion, intimidation, thuggery
and outright terrorism are 
intrinsic and essential features 
of Islam. 

Islam is so intellectually moribund
and ethically repulsive 

that it cannot compete for followers
in a free marketplace of ideas, 
but must eliminate its competitors 

by whatever means may be necessary.
