Ulfkotte and the Jews (2): Casher Meat Allowed until German Jews Become too Numerous? 25.5 [EN]
[...]Ridiculous, but also dangerous...
It is all ridiculous. We had already some good laughs with Ulfkotte, when he symbolized Muslim aggression with an image stolen from a violent American subculture-movie. And also, when he tried to set up a "gang-shop" with Judeo-Christian hate-shirts and bags for the thousands of young Ulfkotte-fans he imagined that were going to the Brussels September 11 anti-Eurabia Manifestation he tried to dominate over his (since repudiated) friends from SIOE and of the Belgian right wing Flemish chauvinist party Vlaams Belang.
But the context of the actions of Dr. Udo Ulfkotte is too serious, to keep on laughing. Ulfkotte combines his hate-mongering against Islam with juridical harassing of German bloggers, in an effort to silence them. So he is, in my opinion, a danger to freedom of expression on the Web.
Plays into the Hands of Radical Islamists - Intentionally?
And his conscious- ,or unconscious-, caricaturisation of the "serious" populists and white supremacists, makes him a vector of the following:
Grundsätzlich befürchtet Dantschke*), dass die Rhetorik solcher Blogs den Islamisten letztlich zuarbeite und sie stärke. Es werde darin eine homogene muslimische Gemeinschaft gezeichnet und diese durch zahlreiche Beispiele pauschal kriminalisiert. Dies ermögliche es islamistischen Organisationen wiederum, die These des "Kampfes der Kulturen" zu propagieren, nach welcher der Islam dem Westen nach dem Kalten Krieg als neues Feindbild In Sachen westliche "Welteroberung" diene. Auch bestärke es Islamisten in ihrer Erklärung, sie seien die "Verteidiger der Interessen der Muslime".Translation:
Basically, Dantschke*) fears, that the rhetorics of this kind of blogs helps and invigorates the Islamists in the end. An image of a homogeneous Muslim community is suggested and that community is being undistinctively criminalized by way of numerous examples. Islamist organizations, then, are being facilitated in their propaganda of the thesis of the "Clash Of Civilizations", that implies that the Islam serves the West as a new "Empire Of Evil" after the Cold War within the context of a Western world domination. It reinforces also the Islamist claim, that they are the sole "defenders of Muslims' interests".*) Ms. Dantschke is a Berlin researcher, interviewed by the author of the haGalil article. She is also co-author of a publication sponsored by the German FBI (2003/2006), in which she calls Ulfkotte a "racist". See our notes about it in French and in German)
However, shouldn't we eliminate the possibility, that Ulfkotte's hate-mongering is UNconscious?
In the Mossad-Sarkozy hoax we published last week here, he implies, that the Mossad and Sarkozy aimed at exactly the above effect! Ulfkotte cannot deny that he believes in the effectiveness of hate-mongering by targeted (dis-)information. Is it imaginable, that he doesn't realize what he is doing, when he does so himself?
Forcing themselves on Israel and on Jews
It is a common phenomenon, that hate-mongerers like Ulfkotte, try to force themselves on Israel (and on the Jews) as their greatest allies in a world of anti-Semites and Arabophiles. Filip Dewinter, leader of the Vlaams Belang, went in 2004 to Israel and got some Antwerp Jews to join his racist movement. PI has some Israelian correspondents and associates with the Kagane heritage in Brooklyn. American Christian Hate-Islam meetings against the Islamic headscarf, often feature an ex-American Jewish lady, now a convinced colonist on Palestinian soil, who wears a gigantic wig, as prescribed by Jewish Orthodox law for married women (like the Muslim headscarf)...
In the above example of ritual/non-ritual slaughtering, we have seen, how thin and how opportunist the line is, between tolerating, even "admiring", cultural and religious usages, and discriminatory agaitation against them. For Ulfkotte, it is a question of numbers, he says. The moment, he judges, that a "demographical unbalance" comes into being, anything should be allowed in agitation against the intruders.
But, for the time being, he tries to mislead the Jews with "scurrilous" reasonings.
How "Functional Principles" are Born...
Ajaan Hirsi Ali, who, in contrast to Ulfkotte, has developed a theory about the fundamental evilness of Muslims, all Muslims, and particularly the "moderate" people among them, made a proposal, in 2003, in Dutch Parliament, to forbid "genital mutilation" of women, which seems all right to me, but at the same time, of the Islamic prescription about the male circumcision. She had, otherwise than Ulfkotte, no excuse by some unrelated (and pretended) principle, and was embarrassed by hostile Jewish comments against that plan. When she realized, that in the USA, circumcision is very common, also among non-Jews, she was quick to abandon her principles in so far as they concerned male circumcision...
...and how OLD the hate- and fear-mongering against ritual slaughter is!
An interesting precursor of the Ulfkottean agitation against ritual slaughtering, occurred in the beginning of the twentieth century in the Aargau Canton of North-East Switzerland. Since late Roman times, the region has a large Jewish minority population.
Charles Lewinsky describes in a great family chronicle ("Melnitz", 1865-1945), how the "Bürgerbewegungen" of that epoch, prefiguring Pax Europa and its ideologue, masked themselves as animal-protectors against the Jews and hired radical Jewish apostates to obtain at the referendum a majority against ritual slaughtering. They were successful. The interdiction of ritual slaughtering still exists in Aargau. Jewish butchers have to import casher meat from Germany and neighboring France.
If Pax Europa and its local affiliate "Zukunft.CH" are still looking for ways to prove their stand against antisemitism, why not organize a picket line in Zürich in favor of the restitution of the right to ritual slaughter in Aargau?

Ulfkotte’s legal robbery assault on his online critics has stalled 21.5 [EN]
Junge Welt editor Knut Mellenthin has promised to no longer make the claim that Ulfkotte has been spreading “fabricated and untrue” information on the Internet. The other characterizations concerning Udo Ulfkotte as a person, or of his blog Akte Islam (The Islam File),that were included in the complaint at the Frankfurt court, can be used with impunity. For example, we can still say that Dr. Udo Ulfkotte is a “questionable sensation journalist” and is a “so-called security expert”, and not have to worry about being tormented by the Ulfkotte -Pax Europa debt collection agency (If I assume that Mellentin is correctly cited in an article in Politically Incorrect in January 2007).
The “settlement” between Ulfkotte’s and Mellenthin’s lawyers appears to be in reality a barely concealed setback for Ulfkotte, if one reads the report about it in PI carefully. The written opinion is not yet available. But the lack of enthusiasm exhibited by the PI-“news hounds” as exhibited in their report from observed the court proceedings in Frankfurt, provides grounds for optimism.
This "settlement" is a new instance in the story of legal harassments perpetrated in Germany by the ONG "Pax Europa" and Mr. Ulfkotte, its president, himself. While avoiding official or powerful critics (like the German FBI or the Jewish liberal organizations in Germany and Switzerland, who repeatedlyand publicly called Ulfkotte a "racist"), Ulfkotte and his front shops select bloggers who say the same things, as target of their "advocacy". Ulfkotte obtained several victories against isolated bloggers, like an university assistant professor and an employee of the German Army, implicitly menacing them with retaliation by way of their employers. In the Mellenthin case, he seems to have underestimated his target, for he merely obtained a lame, fast surrealistic, settlement.
Ulfkotte and the Jews (1): Did the Mossad conspire with Sarkozy? A Scandalous Hoax! [EN]
Behind het Muslim Half Moon - the Magen Adom? - Ulfkotte thinks so...It is hard to believe your eyes ,when you get to page 57 of the "Mossad" chapter of Ulfkotte's 2006 book about the world's secret services.*) Ulfkotte would make us believe, that a Jewish conspiracy between the Mossad and Sarkozy, (who indeed has some Jewish roots), manipulated the French presidential elections which were scheduled for May 2007.

The French Suburbs in November 2005
In November 2005, violent rebellions were shaking French suburbs. Young immigrants were confronting the police. Arson, cars in flames, deaths, wounded and mass arrests. French Minister of the Interior at that time, was Nicolas Sarkozy, who vowed to "clean up that mess with a Kärcher" (a powerful cleaning machine). Half of French citizenry applauded, the other half was disgusted. The latter half was the majority, at that moment still clinging to Socialist presidential candidate Ségolène Royal.
I happen to know somewhat intimately, for more than 35 years, the French suburbs. It is my work. Immigrants from a number of countries of Africa, of the Caribbean and of Asia are stacked in apartment buildings, far from downtown life, and far from accessible facilities for education, culture and work. Roughly 60% are from Islamic origins, the others are Christians or something else. In another country, such a situation would have lead to much more problems than it has done in France. Most inhabitants of those modern slums are proud, to be French, or to be in a position to become French.

Holland: Wilders out, Verdonk in.Scary Fitna for Proud Fitness 4.4.08 [EN]
Dutch populist politician and producer of the anti-Islam film 'Fitna', Wilders (above), intended to tear off and burn pages of the Koran. Or, at least, show such acts in his propaganda movie. I cannot but justify the countermeasures of Dutch Government, intended to control the damage that would have been done by such a provocation, as it sought international support and condemnation of Wilders' provocations, encouraging Dutch Muslims to appeal to their countries of origin to react calmly. "We are Holland, too", they said. And, generally, it worked. There is no general Muslim upheaval.
The government, and first of all its major participant the christian-democratic party CDA, had it's day on the first of April in the The Hague Parliament, when it exposed, documents at hand, Wilders' blackmail. [...]
Her "movement" is called "Proud of Holland", which touches a sympathetic string in the mind of this blogger. The Dutch have many things, values and people to be proud of, but they tend to be so only in private, while publicly disavowing their country, language and culture. One of our characteristics is our well-developed flexibility and adaptability. That is how we made so much profit in trade, in publishing books that are banned in other countries and in providing prohibited drugs to those who are in need of them.
An undutch proudness...
The Verdonkian proudness doesn't seem to imply those national and typical qualities. Under Verdonk, we, Dutchmen, would also be obliged to hide our proudness of non-Dutch heroes and values from our continent, Europe. Verdonk's proudness has a distinct provincial flavour.
