One of the greatest injustices to the victims of racism, and in particular the holocaust, is the trivialization of it.
One does not have to agree with the Dutch “Islamophobic” anti-immigration politicians Geert Wilders or Rita Verdonk, but what kind of person writes something like: “Whenever I see people such as Wilders and Verdonk I think of the Kristallnacht! The moment the Jews were rounded up...”?
People who write such things do not care about the suffering of the Jews. They merely abuse the Nazi crimes for their own petty political objectives. The example quoted above comes from the Dutch correspondent of the far-left Belgian blog Yelloman. This blogger is an intolerant, immoral Stalinist activist. The politicians in the European Parliament, however, are hardly any better.
On January 27, 2005, the European Parliament voted a resolution “on remembrance of the Holocaust, anti-semitism and racism.”
Since 2005 the governments of the European Union member states are persecuting – on the basis of the above Council Framework Decision and the above EP Holocaust Resolution – people who express concern about the Islamization of their countries.
As the British conservative philosopher and author Roger Scruton said in a speech in Antwerp last year, the charge of racism and xenophobia in the EU countries “has become the equivalent of a charge of heresy in medieval Europe, of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts, or of ‘deviationism” in the Stalinist state.”
However, as Mr. Scruton pointed out, “we have a duty to brave the charge of ‘racism and xenophobia’, and to discuss every aspect of immigration.”

The Egyptian-born Jewish author Bat Ye’or (a pseudonym meaning “daughter of the Nile”) and her family were expelled from Egypt in the 1950s because they were Jewish.
She, too, is worried about the trivialization of the Holocaust by the left and the far-left for the advancement of its own political aims.
When recently she expressed her worries at a public meeting she was insulted and called… a racist.
I always think of the Dr. Pepper song, mutatis mutandis.
There will be no one to save Europe this time...?
Liberals paved the way for this. I remember when they called George H W Bush a racist, because David Duke ran for Governor of Louisiana. I warned liberal friends at the time, that misuse by name-calling people, who aren’t racists, would simply wear the term out and pave the way for true racists. But liberals can’t resist the cheap shot.
You are absolutely correct. Western civilization is in the grip of the most vindictive form of liberal socialism ever manifest in our world. In 1938, the reality of fascism, a pan European social movement, with scions in the Americas,impressed itself on Theodore Roosevelt and others , so that they understood it as the inhuman totalitarianism it represented. Much of this was due to Winston Churchills diplomatic work. Men of popular mein, like Joseph Kennedy ( US ambassador to Britain), and Charles Lindberg ( Aviator and Nazi medal winner), both avid liberal supporters of Nazism, became unpopular almost overnight, persona non grata.
Now the voices against anti-semitism, and against religio-fascism, are mere triffling beacons in a very dark night.Men like George Bush, Tony Blair, and a few others, sound the warning. But they are smeared as rascist "Nazis" by liberals who are grossly ignorant of history, or the significance of the ignorance rampant on our University campuses. Europe and indeed America,have been ideologically traduced.
For this reason Europe must save herself. You are quite correct in saying Europe must this time save herself.America cannot and will not.
America will barely be able to save herself, because of the likes of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Murtha, and Hillary Clinton. THey are the poison fruit of a tree poisoned by a weakness formerly unknown in previous generations of Americans. They have a twisted concept of patriotism and loyalty to their own nation, and are hardly true Americans.
Their Utopianism will be the undoing of us all, and a solid, abiding, rampant curse on the world, and all America has achieved since 1940.
For them it is an exciting dawn of a new world order, but in truth, it will end in a wash of genocide and blood, caused by their own pilfering weakness.
Some Europeans complained that we did not save Europe from Hitler fast enough.
” Why are the American tanks not here yet...? “
The sooner Europeans realize that they need to take care of themselves, the better.
same for us.
Borrowing a phrase from Andy Warhol(I think), in the future everybody will be a Nazi for 15 minutes.
Well, be accused of being one anyway.
They will not. Have you been to Europe lately? Europe is ripe for the Islamic picking, a ripe fruit on a vine. And they will be harvested, its only a matter of time. That harvest will not take the shape of outright war. It will be by way of a failure of civl order, and a failure of government to act to preserve European culture and religion. Europe has become a characterterless collective, for which no one will fight in preservation of it. Its ideology is Bachanalian and self centerd. Loyalty to the state or to God is finished in Europe.
Its actually Sodom and Gomorah, and completely materialist, the great European experiment is doomed, because no one wishes to defend it with their lives. This fact alone has a defeat by Islam defined even before any battle has started. This is the way that Islam takes over nations, the sword is only a punctuation in a long sentence of conquest. It then evolves to be the will of Allah.
Allah is all powerful and delivers the infidels to the true believers for disposition, in a copmpletely weakened state.
I fully agree the majority of E.U. member states are ripe for being subverted from within from agenda driven Islamists.
Same as the poverty pimps always screaming about ‘racism’. It numbs everyone to real racism.
“...Are We All Nazis Now?...”
No, worse than that, you are all pussies.
The Muzzies are going to wipe you out.

ping for later
The irrepressible T.R. seeing things from the grave.
Funny timing; I just turned off the TV, where a talk show host was leading the panel through a discussion of Hurricane Katrina, and now this comment appears. Maybe the local governments in Europe should be prepare for this flood of problems as well.
In 1938, the reality of fascism, a pan European social movement, with scions in the Americas,impressed itself on Theodore Roosevelt and others....
Theodore Roosevelt in 1938? Don’t you mean FDR?
No I’m Swiss.
No. European society has been been fully debased. Since this has been accomplished without tanks and troops, there will be no support.
Three days before the London bombings, I was in London and had walked down Edgeware street, (where one of the bombs had gone off in the Tube)and it was block after block of Islamic book stores, the store fronts were loaded with anti-semitic books, anti-western propaganda etc. The women were in burqas, walking behind their males etc. It was like being in Saudi Arabia.
With high abortion rates of Europe and overall below replacement level births of europeans, contrasted with high islamic birth rates of immigrants, it is just a matter of time. The clock is ticking....
