Islam was 'never part of Europe': Hungary's Orban
AFP ^ | 10/16/15

Posted on 10/16/2015 12:58:48 PM PDT by markomalley

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban defended his hardline stance against refugees, the vast majority of whom are Muslim, saying in an interview published Friday that Islam "has never been part of Europe".

Speaking to Germany's Focus news weekly about the record migrant influx, he said "the language of the European elite is ideological and dogmatic".

"Islam has never been part of Europe, it came to us," Orban told Focus in an interview to be published in full Saturday.

He conceded that Germany's Turkish migrants, who arrived in their tens of thousands from the 1960s for work, now "belong to German history and therefore Europe's too".

"But spiritually, Islam was never part of Europe. It's the rulebook of another world," said Orban.

Well, the Moslems occupied Greece and Italy for 400 years besides the conquest of Spain and Portugal. The Balkans, too.

I’m thinking that after the siege of Vienna in the 16th Century, the Ottoman’s had annexed the entire central part of Hungary but my memory might be weak here.

Charles Martel lost one battle against the Mahamats and won 16. He saved Europe form the barbarians. The Muslims were always overthrown in Europe. The whole world is under attack again and we need to defend ourselves again.

Except for a corner of what was once part of Yugoslavia, Islam had a remarkably small foothold in Europe after the Spanish threw the Jews and Moors out of Spain in the 15th Century.

Islam had been almost wiped out starting in the 13th Century, with the advent of Genghis Khan and his Golden Horde on the center of the Islam at the time, Baghdad, sacking and looting that city and turning it into the hellhole it still was in the dawn of the 21st Century. The Golden Horde attacked the Muslim caliphate with even greater ferocity than even the jihadists themselves, and reduced them to only a very small remnant of what they once were.

But they regrew and established the Ottoman Empire, though they were much more circumspect than they had been centuries earlier. Still, that undercurrent of domination still coursed in their theology, biding their time.

The Ottomans were invaders so not part of the indigenous European culture just like the current invaders.

All of Europe should decree Islam banned entirely . Politicians that promote muzlim influx should be deposed , demoted , or jailed.

Hitler desired Islam for Germany. It appears that today’s German leadership wants the same thing...

yes, Hitler admired Islam and wished Germany had been Mohammadan instead of Christian. This primarily because Islam teaches aggression whereas Christianity teaches loving one’s neighbor and living in peace. Hitler found these aspects of Christian faith to be most troublesome, as he wanted German men to fight meaner and tougher. (Interestingly, also, Hitler... as with so many anti-Semites, blamed the Jewish people for Christianity and the Church)...

“Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers -— already, you see, the world had already fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity!-— then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism [Islam], that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.”

-—Adolph Hitler, Monologe im Führerhauptquartier (Monologue with Headquarters of the Führer). Hamburg: Albrecht Knaus, 1980.
