Iceland’s Meltdown
The city council of Reykjavik, Iceland, has fallen under the spell of a small, but toxic, Muslim population. Because of the customary Islamic narrative against Israel, the capital’s outgoing councilwoman, Bjork Vilhelmsdottir, declared a boycott against all Israeli products, citing oppression of Palestinians and the “wall”; she is also planning a mission to “help Palestinians.” Further, Iceland’s interior minister, Ogmundur Jonasson, led an anti-Israel protest complete with “blood-soaked” Israeli flags and accusations that Israel is committing a holocaust against the Palestinian people. Contrary to the Islamic narrative, Jews are the indigenous people of Israel, Gaza and Judea/Samaria (West Bank), and the constant target of Palestinian aggression, requiring the wall, one of innumerable similar barriers in the world, including Europe, that save nations from their barbarian neighbors.
The administration appears severely uninformed of Palestinian aggression and their refusal to make peace with the Jewish state. Although Iceland’s Foreign Ministry clarified that the boycott decision “doesn’t match the foreign policy of Iceland,” this small uprising could portend further discrimination as Islam gains a stronger foothold on the island nation – and Icelandic history should have served as warning that Islam is no friend of democracy.
Iceland’s first encounter with Muslims began with two raids in 1627, The Turkish Abduction – one led by a Dutch Muslim and his Barbary pirates from Morocco and Algeria, the other by the Barbary corsairs from Algiers and Sale’. The Muslims captured and sold into slavery an estimated 400 to 900 prisoners, and plundered livestock and silver (and a nearby English sailing vessel). Barely assisted by Dano-Norwegian naval patrols and having no standing army, Icelanders remained unarmed and vulnerable to Barbary corsair attacks, kidnappings and murders.
Muslims were also skilled in overland conquest. Through 1400 years of Islam, the marauders have kidnapped people for military or administrative power, for converts, wives, concubines and personal slaves as well as to replenish their relentless slave trade. They have tortured and slaughtered 900 million across continents. Nurtured in hate and usurpation, the hordes bring with them animosity, incendiary riots, property destruction, hate crimes and death to Europe – Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, England, etc. Muslims have turned Sweden’s third largest city, Malmo, into a twilight of social chaos and increasing violence, earning it the title “Rape Capital of the World” and Germany’s Munich into “Europe’s Biggest Brothel.” The explosive Islamo-fascism has caused the majority of Jewish citizens to flee.
When Palestinian Arabs realized that their many war tactics – centuries of deadly pogroms, terror tunnels (18 tons of concrete , cost of $3 million and the death of 160 child laborers), an estimated 20,000 rockets and mortar fired on Israeli civilians since 9/11 – could not conquer the Jewish state, they opted for war against Israel’s economy and culture by convincing a gullible world that it is Palestinian Arabs who are the victims, the David against the Goliath of Israel. Their boycott-divestment-sanctions (BDS) campaign is designed to defame Israel as an apartheid state, reduce her support, and enlist corporations, churches, associations, and academia in the international community to deny Israel’s right to self-defense and her very existence.
And it is now that Iceland has awakened. But it was not to speak out against Islam’s perpetual war against Iceland’s democratic ally; not to rally against the devastation in neighboring Sweden, with its Muslim youths rioting and burning hundreds of cars and buildings in 200 ghettos, raping countless women, and murder; not to condemn Muslims’ igniting or pelting emergency vehicles with rocks or the epidemic increase in rapes and calls for beheadings and a Muslim state in Norway; not to denounce the murder of Jews in France, the ruinous riots in southern Italy, or increase in terror worldwide. Rather, Iceland was stirred awake by the lie of Palestinian victimhood and, as a result, seeks to isolate Israel and inflict upon her financial damage.
What these Scandinavians fail to realize is that they, too, are at the beginning of a growing Islamic population and the chaos that is certain to follow. They fail to recognize the use of propaganda to unite the citizens in a common cause. And if Icelanders will not protest to save others, they will be unable to save themselves from the Islamic menace that festers in every multicultural paradise. Nei, they spoke out to condemn Israel, the only Jewish country in the Middle East and herself a victim of Islam.
The process has begun and Icelanders will now get their first mosque, with “foreign donors” funding its construction, and naïve taxpayers providing Reykjavik’s prime landmark location, selected and approved by Mayor Jon Gnarr, a self-described anarchist. The mosque, although far too large for the current Muslim community, will be built to accommodate the projected thousands, complete with minarets and a muezzin whose voice will be heard through the land five times a day. The Islamic community is a mere 1% of the city’s 120,000, but growing exponentially due to immigration and conversion. More than 11,000 Icelanders have offered to share their homes with the incoming new immigrants, welfare recipients, rioters, rapists, and jihadists. At 5%, they will exert influence inconsistent with their numbers, become more aggressive and push for Sharia Law. At 10% they will become more lawless and violent, and 20% will bring rioting, murder, jihad militias, and destruction of non-Muslim houses of worship. Beyond 40%, Icelanders can expect massacres and attacks, and at 50%, genocide, persecution of infidels and apostates, and Sharia will triumph.
To paraphrase Sir Winston S. Churchill, “You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour and you will have war.” As Iceland may slowly slip from a constitutional republic to lawlessness and totalitarianism, we ask the government of Iceland to enact legislation, such as has been done by the United States of America, to oppose politically motivated actions that penalize or otherwise limit commercial relations specifically with Israel, such as boycotts, divestments or sanctions, and to recognize that such actions against Israel are anti-Semitic aggression against the Jewish State.

I feel so much hate in this post for Muslims. WE ARE NOT TERRORISTS AND RAPISTS AND WE ARE NOT THREATS IN THIS HUMANITY. Just because people who “claim” themselves to be Muslims do acts of terrorism in some parts of the world could generalize all of us.
Islam 101,
Thanks for reading and commenting on this column. Islam is Islam and we simply report on what is actually happening today in Islamic countries and by Islamic groups.
Actions speak louder than words. Just look at the oppression against women, non-Muslims and Muslims alike in those countries that have implemented shariah (Islamic) law.
Not to mention the newest caliphate – the Islamic State.
Thank you for calling attention to the growing problem worldwide of Muslim’s radically changing the culture of countries, instead of seeking to assimilate.
The dominant liberal media is apparently naive, but also chooses to filter out the violence and aggression spreading by gangs of Islamic immigrants.
Raping and assaulting women, children and boys should NEVER be tolerated by civilized society.
Moderate Islamist’s must take action to prove to the world that they too want Peace. Silence speaks volumes.
And the ridiculous boycotts against Israel by any country or city that embraces freedoms and democracy will come back to haunt Iceland.
Praying for hope in Christ and democracy to spread throughout Iceland and Europe.
Dear Islam 101:
I regret to have to write these truths, because it would be nicer for all if I could write of pleasantries, of diseases being cured, and people being able to travel the world without danger, but that is not the case. We are better off coming to terms with the truths of Islam, than to keep the world in ignorance. Only Islam produces fighters who bury women up to their waist and stones them to death, or puts people in cages and sets them afire, or chops off heads and limbs. If enough Muslims face the reality and realize that this is not the behavior of civilized beings, they might rebel against their leaders and insist on a change. However, so far, it is shown that the majority of Muslims, the “moderates” will still prefer Sharia law than democracy, and I will continue to inform the masses so that they are prepared.
You are spot on correct about the horrendous atrocities being committed by Islamic radicals.
More moderate Muslims do need to speak out, because Islam has been hijacked by mass murderers.
The way they treat women and animals is barbaric.
Sharia can never co-exist with nations that cherish freedoms and getting along with others.
Yes you are, read your book more.
Qur’an (8:39) “Wage war on non-Muslims and kill them until they submit and the only religion is Islam.”
You are lying to yourself just as you try to lie to others – taqiyyah for the purpose of not revealing what is too abhorrent to admit. Islam is dualist. You have the kind Mohammed in Mecca, and the warrior Mohammed in Medina, the soldier, killer, enslaver, beheader, and his practices became Sharia law. Your warriors have killed 900 million people over 14 centuries; it is not your words that matter; you are judged by your deeds. This is what I call uncivilized. Now you have expanded your invasion to the West, but the West will rise up. Brexit and Trump are signs that that the giant as awakened. We will no longer tolerate the intolerable.
Speaking at Kanal D TV”s Arena program, PM Erdogan commented on the term “moderate Islam”, often used in the West to describe AKP and said, “˜These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.”
We may feel better not facing the truth, but that good feeling cannot last because it’s fallacious. If you hesitate to pick up the Koran and read it, there are large books, “Reliance of the Traveller” and shorter ones, “What every American needs to know about the Qur’an,” and even brief pamphlets by Bill Warner. In today’s world, there’s no excuse for naivete or ignorance. Islam is Islam and it is, by far, the most oppressive, cruelest body of laws in the world, and the majority of Muslims seek to impose these laws on the rest of us. Islam101 may be offended, but Islam is what it is; we in the West are not responsible for it. No other ideology has produced so much pain and so large a body count (900 million over 1400 years). “Moderates,” if they exist at all, are irrelevant because they contribute nothing to improve life. According to Islamic authorities, there are no moderates, no radicals, no excuses and alibis. Now, let’s deal with reality. Thank you.
So what is civilized to you, by the way? Do not educate me about my religion. I have read the Qur-an and perhaps, you may have read it and interpreted it LITERALLY. Every verse in the Holy Quran has deeper meaning and has its grounds. Mind you, Qur-an HAS NO OTHER VERSIONS, no version from England or what have you.
True, there is no moderate Islam because Islam is Islam. There are no radical Muslims. Talking about the punishments you have mentioned in your comment, it is very suitable for us, human beings. Have you ever thought what democracy gave people? Yes, we are heard but look at the society. Drugs, prostitution, crimes and a lot more are being very rampant. Why? Because many people can just bail themselves out of prison. I suggest to read authentic books from Quran and Sunnah rather than reading it from books that were only written based on their own perspective.
Islam 101, I thoroughly agree with you that the laws of the Western Democracies are generally too lax (I write from Britain). They should be reinforced.
A good place to begin would be to take a leaf out of Saudi’s rulebook, your Koran, and, as they ban the building of Churches and Synagogues, so we should ban the building of mosques; as they treat non-Muslims as second-class citizens, so we should treat Muslims as second-class citizens; as they force the payment of a penalty upon non-Muslims (jizya) se we should impose a penalty on Muslims; as they refuse to allow the cross to be displayed so we should ban the crescent; as they forbid the public distribution of non-Islamic religious literature, so should we forbid the dissemination of the Koran; as they forbid a non-Muslim to serve in the army, so we should ban Muslims from the armed forces; as they do not permit a non-Muslim to have a position of governmental authority, so we should block Muslims from political life…
Where shall I stop? I will stop at the beheadings, amputations, stonings and catalogue of tortures devised by Islam against all of those considered opponents. Judeo-Christian democracy could never sink to such depths and you ought to thank your lucky stars that you live under such benign rule before you criticize the law that protects a Muslim as fully as it does the non-Muslim.
Consider this, you claim that Islam is God’s final word, the perfect religion, yet all the evidence points to the fact that Judaism and Christianity are infinitely superior because they respect the dignity of all human beings of whatever colour or creed.
In the West (and in Israel) Muslims enjoy all the freedoms enjoyed by their hosts, they build mosques and have full access to the media. They are free to advertise their activities and distribute their literature and are permitted to pray publicly. They are free to choose whatever religion they like or to be non-religious. In short, they are left in peace and, if a Muslim such as yourself decides to leave Islam because he sees the infinite superiority of Judaism or Christianity, then he is not sentenced to death.
Be thankful that you live in America. Be thankful that you live. Or else find a place that will not tolerate your freedom of thought with as much kindness as your present hosts.
The proof that Judaism and Christianity are more compassionate, caring, and superior to Islam is in the way the above writer, Kevin O’Neil, replied. You have set yourself up as judge and jury of people you do not like; you would be willing to take another’s limb and life to comply with your tyrannical beliefs. Your people have killed innocent children by stealing their childhood, wrapping them in scarves and teaching them to kill others. Your people have blown up buses of school children. You have used hospitals to manufacture weaponry. You have kidnapped girls from their parents and schools and raped them and made them into sexual slaves. These are barbaric acts at their worst. And yes, I know this is Islam, the same Islam that demands killing infidels through the Koran. If you are displeased with our democracy, you deserve to return to Saudi Arabia for the strictest application of sharia – and while you’re at it, don the shroud of your women, because the men are far more inferior than the women, which is why you work so hard at keeping them subjugated. You deserve to be judged as you judge others; your time will come.
