DUTCH ACADEMIC HANS JANSEN WARNS "MODERATE" MUSLIMS "MAKE USE OF RADICALS"

May 1, 2007 – San Francisco, CA – PipeLineNews.org – A Dutch academic
has issued an unprecedented call for the Dutch to use force if needed
to defend the country against the process of Islamization.

Professor Hans Jansen, who teaches modern Islamic ideology at the
University of Utrecht, criticized the Dutch for "tolerating the
excesses of multiculturalism" adding that "The Netherlands should
resist using non-peaceful means" and that the "Dutch Secret Service
[AIVD] should get their hands dirty if need be."

In what amounted to a call to arms, Jansen proclaimed that Dutch
society "will have to find a way to defend itself through non-peaceful
means from people who are not peaceful."

The expert on Islam called for the establishment of a "central
reporting station" for all people who are threatened.

Janssen cautioned that, "moderate Muslims too, strive for an Islamic
society in the Netherlands" and that they "intentionally make use of
the radicals to enforce their wishes."

Professor Janssen indicated that non-Muslims must chose their allies
carefully because many who are viewed as moderates are playing a game
of "good cop bad cop" i.e. showing a Westernized facade and making
statements non-Muslims want to hear while pushing a radical agenda.

A core component of the Islamist methodology involves charges
of discrimination made by young Muslims who are Western born and
educated. The resulting demand for understanding by the larger society
is a cloaking device for da’wa, with the Islamist activists insisting
that they can only be accepted if non-Muslims learn more about Muslims
and how to accommodate their unique practices.

This emphasis on religious identity and the need for non-Muslims to be
extra deferential to it leads to what can best be termed affirmative
dhimmitude.

Jansen cites a recent example in which an exhibition in an Amsterdam
museum about Istanbul opened by the Queen was censored, after the
Turkish government objected to the mention of its genocide against
the Armenians, claiming that people complied, "even without the threat
of violence."

He cautions that instead of leading to a more open "multicultural"
society Dutch tolerance and appeasement of Muslims has resulted in
the loss of free speech, "What is thought, written, or exhibited in
the Netherlands is to a large extent no longer made in freedom…It
is not the lie but the obscure threat that reigns."
