Fjordman in Gates of Vienna

Hat tip Gates of Vienna


The Norwegian blogger who goes by the pseudonym, "Fjordman", is a controversial figure in Europe especially in his native Norway. Not only is his life under threat because of his writings on Islamic immigration to Europe, but his freedom is also under threat due to European "hate speech" laws.

In 2011, when Anders Breivik carried out his horrific massacre of over 70 people, it was briefly rumored that Breivik was, in fact, Fjordman. As it turns out Breivik referred often to Fjordman in his manifesto. Fjordman, in return, has condemned Breivik's act.

Gates of Vienna has posted this recent article by Fjordman in the wake of the murder in London and the Stockholm riots. Fjordman argues that Muslim immigration in the West must be stopped. To a lesser extent, he seems opposed to all immigration into Europe.

Thus, I hesitated before posting this article and took the time to do a little more research on him. I had not been aware that he was studying Arabic in Cairo when 9-11 happened and was outraged at the scenes of Egyptians celebrating. This was a turning point in his attitude toward Islam.

I don't agree with Fjordman that all immigration to the West should be halted. The aim should not be to maintain a lily-white Anglo-Saxon population, in my view, but to maintain Western values of freedom and assimilation. I am more concerned with an immigrant's belief system that I am his or her ethnicity.

I think Fjordman's article here merits serious discussion. I am not aware of everything else he has written which may or may not be offensive. You may agree or disagree with his conclusions, but the issue in Europe  is real and must be dealt with eventually something European leaders have been unwilling to do.

As always, Muslim readers are welcome to comment.

I read the whole article and believe that every American should read it as well as every citizen in the Western civilized world.

One of the things he did not point out was that while the Tsarnaev brothers attempted to flee, the killers in London stayed right there to crow about what they just did. Everything else about them was the same in all important aspects as to why they committed their atrocities.

His conclusions are necessary acknowledgements of unadorned facts:
"Muslim immigration has been a historical mistake of epic proportions. It’s already been very costly in monetary terms, loss of lives, lost freedom and increased security measures. The sick and evil ongoing social experiment on an entire civilization needs to end, right now. The twisted and dangerous ideologies of open borders and Multiculturalism (but only for Western nations) must be discredited and abandoned as policies. Realistically, the ruling Western elites will not do this willingly and must probably be forced by popular pressure to do so.

Not only should we not allow any more Muslims to settle in our lands; we should start expelling the worst ones who are already here. Merely putting them in a soft Western prison, where they will form Islamic enclaves and work to convert other violent criminals to Islam’s violent Jihadist teachings, is not sufficient in the long run."

He has nailed the problem, including the P.C. leadership and made a recommendation that will eventually get us out of this situation. I agree entirely.
