"The EU has accepted that the Union should be enlarged to include the
Muslim Middle East and North Africa. The EU has accepted that tens of
millions of immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries in northern
Africa should be allowed to settle in Europe in the years ahead. This
is supposedly "good for the economy." It is planning to implement
sharia laws for the millions of Muslims it is inviting to settle in
Europe. It has passed stronger anti-racism laws while making it clear
that "Islamophobia" constitutes a form of racism, and is cooperating
with Islamic countries on rewriting school textbooks to provide a
"positive" image of Islam to European children. Finally, the EU is
developing an Arrest Warrant which stipulates that those charged with
serious crimes, for instance racism, can be arrested without undue
interference of the nation state they happen to live in. In essence,
the EU is formally surrendering an entire continent to Islam while
destroying established national cultures, and is prepared to harass
those who disagree with this policy. This constitutes the greatest
organized betrayal in Western history, perhaps in human history, yet
is hailed as a victory for 'tolerance'."

The Eurabia Code – 2008 Updates
Brussels Journal
Fjordman
2008-10-13
My essay The Eurabia Code was published in 2006, inspired by Bat
Ye'or's groundbreaking book Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis. I have chosen
to reproduce The Eurabia Code almost unchanged in my upcoming book
Defeating Eurabia, but will include some updates. What has happened
since 2006 is that European leaders are increasingly open about the
idea of enlarging the EU to include the Arab world, although they do
of course not present this as surrendering the continent to Islam.
This hasn't been a total secret previously – in 2002 Louis Michel, the
then Belgian minister of foreign affairs and today a member of the
European Commission, told the Belgian parliament that the EU will
eventually encompass North Africa and the Middle East as well as
Europe – but why go public with this now? My theory is that EU leaders
consider their people to be defeated and irrelevant. After the
implementation of the Lisbon Treaty/European Constitution, the people
no longer have a say and can safely be ignored. They have held us in
contempt for years and no longer care to hide this. We are sheep and
constitute no threat while they must continue appeasing the Muslims.
Open plans for a "Mediterranean Union" or "Union for the
Mediterranean," which will include all EU member states, Mauritania,
Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, the Palestinian
Authority, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey, was launched in mid-2008, under
some concern among Arabs that such a Union might normalize their
relationship with Israel. This came with plans for the creation of a
"north-south co-presidency" and a permanent secretariat as well as the
definition of a ''short-list'' of priority projects for the region.
The European Commission proposes the creation of a co-presidency
between the EU and a Mediterranean (read: Muslim) country, chosen with
consensus for a two-year term. Brussels is drawing the institutional
profile of what will be called "Barcelona Process – A Union for the
Mediterranean." Notice how they tie this explicitly to the Eurabian
Barcelona Process described by Bat Ye'or. Despite this, even after the
Mediterranean Union was launched, I heard claims that any talk about
Eurabia was a "dangerous Islamophobic conspiracy theory."
In a letter appearing in the respected Italian newspaper Corriere
della Sera, former Italian President Francesco Cossiga in 2008
revealed that the government of Italy in the 1970s agreed to allow
Arab terrorist groups freedom of movement in the country in exchange
for immunity from attacks. The government of the late Prime Minister
Aldo Moro reached a "secret non-belligerence pact between the Italian
state and Palestinian resistance organizations, including terrorist
groups." According to the former president, it was Moro himself who
designed the terms of the agreement with the foreign Arab terrorists.
"The terms of the agreement were that the Palestinian organizations
could even maintain armed bases of operation in the country, and they
had freedom of entry and exit without being subject to normal police
controls, because they were 'handled' by the secret services." As
Interior Minister, Cossiga said that he learned PLO members in Italy
had diplomatic immunity as representatives of the Arab League. "The
Palestinian organizations could even maintain armed bases of operation
in the country."
This was the formal birth of Eurabia, when Western European
governments, giving in to pressure from Arab terrorists and oil-
producing states, abandoned their traditional pro-Israeli position and
gradually aligned themselves with the Arab-Islamic world. There is
absolutely no reason to assume that the Italians were the only ones to
make such "deals." In addition to cultural and political cooperation,
European governments have agreed to pay Arabs, Palestinians in
particular, large sums in "protection money" to reduce the terrorist
threat. This can only be seen as jizya, and the practice has later
spread to the entire European Union, which pays the Palestinians tens
of millions if not hundreds of millions of Euros annually.
The MEDA programme, the principal financial instrument for the
implementation of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, between
2000-2006 spent €5,350 million on its various programs, according to
the EU's official website. During the period 1995-1999, some 86% of
the resources allocated to MEDA were channelled to Algeria, Egypt,
Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and the Palestinian
Authority.
From 2007, MEDA was replaced by the European Neighbourhood and
Partnership Instrument, which over the period 2007 to 2013 is
projected to spend €11 billion on, among other things, promoting
cooperation between European and Arab countries in the sectors of
energy and transport; in higher education and mobility of teachers,
researchers and students; Multicultural dialogue through people-to-
people contacts, including links with communities of immigrants living
in EU countries as well as cooperation between civil societies,
cultural institutions and exchanges of young people. The European
Commission, the EU's powerful government with extensive legislative
powers, shall coordinate cooperation with non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), universities, churches, religious associations
and the media in matters related to this project; all according to
documents available on the Internet, yet almost unknown to the general
public since the mainstream media rarely mention them.
I got some critical comments to my original Eurabia Code, among others
a claim that the Algiers Declaration from 2006, which is mentioned in
the text, is not signed by any official EU body. However, the Anna
Lind Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the dialogue between cultures,
which organized this, is linked to from the official EU website as a
part of the EU's external relations programs and the Euro-
Mediterranean Partnership. Some of the organizations that participate
in this may technically be independent organizations, but there is no
doubt that the European Commission constitutes the driving force
behind these networks. Moreover, if you read these documents closely,
you will find that they mention "harmonization of the education
systems" between Europe and the Arab world. This requires the
involvement of the authorities at the highest level.
In September 2008, a brief statement in a few media outlets in Denmark
(I've seen remarkably little mention of this far-reaching proposal in
the mainstream media in most European countries) said that Muslims
living in the EU will in future be able to divorce according to sharia
law. This is the belief of the Commission, which recommends that a
couple be able to choose which country's law they will follow if they
divorce – as long as they have some kind of connection to the country
they choose. Danish People's Party spokesman Morten Messerschmidt was
greatly concerned about the proposal: "It's a completely lamebrain
idea, the possibility that the Commission will use inhumane sharia
laws in the EU," he said.
What people don't understand is that this is a part of long-term deals
that have already been agreed upon by EU leaders. Virtually all
Western European leaders have already surrendered. There is no longer
a question of whether or not sharia will be officially accepted as law
(as it has been for Muslims living in Britain); it is only a question
of how to implement this.
Meanwhile, a proposed European Arrest Warrant lists a number of
crimes, including terrorism, armed robbery, rape, and racism and
xenophobia, which are punishable throughout the EU. The European
Arrest Warrant requires that anyone who is charged by a member state
under the listed group of offenses (which could cover just about
anything) may be arrested by the authorities of the issuing state
within any interference of the other member state. The accused must
then be transited for trial to the issuing state within ten days,
without any interference, judicial or otherwise, by the executing
state.
Racism includes "Islamophobia," according to EU documents, which means
that "Islamophobia" could soon be treated as a crime as serious as
rape and armed robbery across the European continent. At the same
time, EU leaders are busy enlarging the EU to include North Africa and
the Middle East, thus flooding Europe with tens of millions of
additional Muslims. Not far into the future, we can imagine a
situation where the authorities can arrest a person in, say, Denmark
or Italy, who has published a cartoon that could be considered
offensive to Islam. He will then be handed over to the authorities in
Algeria, Egypt or Jordan.
Remember that blasphemy against Islam carries the death penalty
according to sharia. Multiculturalism in Europe is about to reach its
openly totalitarian phase. Those who think this is a joke can look at
the Dutch cartoonist Gregorius Nekschot who was arrested in 2008 for
cartoons that "insulted" Muslims. Several documents that are publicly
available (but little known by the general public because they are
never referred to by the mainstream media) state that the EU should
"harmonize" the education and legal systems with the Arab "partner
countries" within the coming decade. This is being negotiated as we
speak, behind our backs.
European Commission president José Manuel Barroso earlier expressed
unease with the prospect of a second Dutch Lisbon Treaty/European
Constitution referendum. "Referendums make the process of approval of
European treaties much more complicated and less predictable," he
said, asking "every member state" considering a referendum to "think
twice." Mr Barroso in his previous job as Portuguese Prime Minister in
2004 backed a referendum on the EU constitution in his own country –
but since then his thinking has changed. "I was in favour of a
referendum as a prime minister, but it does make our lives with 27
member states in the EU more difficult. If a referendum had been held
on the creation of the European Community or the introduction of the
euro, do you think these would have passed?"
As journalist Nick Fagge stated in the British newspaper the Daily
Express in October 2008:
"More than 50 million African workers are to be invited to Europe in a
far-reaching secretive migration deal, the Daily Express can reveal
today. A controversiële taxpayer-funded 'job centre' opened in Mali
this week is just the first step towards promoting 'free movement of
people in Africa and the EU'. Brussels economists claim Britain and
other EU states will 'need' 56 million immigrant workers between them
by 2050 to make up for the 'demographic decline' due to falling birth
rates and rising death rates across Europe. The report, by the EU
statistical agency Eurostat, warns that vast numbers of migrants could
be needed to meet the shortfall in two years if Europe is to have a
hope of funding the pension and health needs of its growing elderly
population. It states: ...'Having sufficient people of working age is
vital for the economy and for tax revenue.' The report, by French MEP
Francoise Castex, calls for immigrants to be given legal rights and
access to social welfare provision such as benefits. Ms Castex said:
'It is urgent that member states have a calm approach to immigration.
To say 'yes', we need immigration …is not a new development, we must
accept it.'"
Let's sum up our findings so far: The EU has accepted that the Union
should be enlarged to include the Muslim Middle East and North Africa.
The EU has accepted that tens of millions of immigrants from
predominantly Muslim countries in northern Africa should be allowed to
settle in Europe in the years ahead. This is supposedly "good for the
economy." It is planning to implement sharia laws for the millions of
Muslims it is inviting to settle in Europe. It has passed stronger
anti-racism laws while making it clear that "Islamophobia" constitutes
a form of racism, and is cooperating with Islamic countries on
rewriting school textbooks to provide a "positive" image of Islam to
European children. Finally, the EU is developing an Arrest Warrant
which stipulates that those charged with serious crimes, for instance
racism, can be arrested without undue interference of the nation state
they happen to live in. In essence, the EU is formally surrendering an
entire continent to Islam while destroying established national
cultures, and is prepared to harass those who disagree with this
policy. This constitutes the greatest organized betrayal in Western
history, perhaps in human history, yet is hailed as a victory for
"tolerance."
José Manuel Barroso, the leader of the unaccountable government for
half a billion people, has stated that the EU is an empire. Maybe we
think it's ridiculous to see the EU as an empire, but his statement
shows that some people in leading positions do think like this. It
would make sense to remember that all empires in history have been
created through war. If the EU is an empire, this means that a war is
being waged against somebody. And it is: A cultural and demographic
war waged by mass immigration against native Europeans. Whereas
empires are normally created by waging a war against other peoples,
the EU is the first empire in history created by leaders allowing
other peoples to wage a war against their own.
The European Union – or the Eurabian Empire if you will – is a naked
power grab by the elites in order to dismantle the nations there are
supposed to serve. Instead of being mere servants of the people in
smaller countries, they aspire to become members of an unaccountable
elite ruling a vast empire as they see fit. This is why they continue
to promote mass immigration as if nothing has happened even if people
get blown up, raped, mugged and murdered in their own cities. They
don't care. They are generals on a warpath. Ordinary citizens are
simply cannon fodder, pawns to be sacrificed in the conquest of their
glorious, new empire. Mass immigration is used to crush all nation
states simultaneously so that the natives have no real alternatives to
flee to, and no countries can come to the aid of others against the
advancing Islamization.
Finally, we should remember one thing: All of this started with the
appeasement of Arab bullies like Arafat in the 1970s, who used oil or
terrorism or both as weapons. Europeans should work to get rid of the
culture of betrayal, but then we also need to get rid of the culture
of appeasement that brought us in this mess in the first place. No
money for the Palestinians; not one cent. If they need money, they can
ask the Saudis. And no more appeasement of or deals with Islamic
terrorists. It was "dialogue," the Euro-Arab Dialogue, that created
these problems. No more "dialogue." The only way to deal with a bully
is to punch him in the nose, and make him back down. That's the only
appropriate way to deal with Jihadists.
