The Psychosis of Islamophobia and Anti-Semitism

Those behind the organisation of an illegal demonstration -- supposedly against the "Islamisation of Europe" but what will, in effect, be a gathering ground for anti-semites (against both Jew and Muslim), racists, extreme right national chauvinists and other such low-life -- are ostensibly the SIOE whose spokesperson, Netha, is quoted in a Breaking News article below.

This march has been banned by the Brussels municipal authorities on perfectly legal grounds provided for in the European Convention of Human Rights, ie that it is likely to lead to confrontation and clashes between opposing groups and thus threaten public safety.

In ignoring the ban and calling for it to go ahead the SIOE is not only preparing to act outside the law but in a manner very likely to provoke confrontations likely to lead to violence, putting the safety and lives of innocent citizens at risk. This kind of provocative attitude is characteristic of the racists whose hate inevitably bursts out in violence.

Some years back, Britain's racist National Front attempted a similar march in Aberdeen and we were able to pressure the Aberdeen municipal council and the Police into using the same legal provisos of the Human Rights Convention to ban that march. Since then the National Front and their hangers-on have not dared to show their faces in public in the north of Scotland.

So on behalf of my French comrades and Opération SCHITA I wish the Burgomaster of Brussels, Freddy Thielemans, all good luck in ensuring that the streets of Brussels are kept clean of the chickenhawk nazis. As for myself, I do not believe in showing any mercy to such types. Racism and anti-semitism are not only behavioural aberrations, they are rooted in a form of individual and collective psychosis which, given a chance, can spread like wildfire throughout communities.

The chickenhawk nazis know that full well and wait, like vultures, to exploit fear and ignorance to spread their vile sickness. George Bush and Tony Blair knew it too when, with the engineers of 911, they fabricated an entirely false "War on Terror" in which the systematic demonisation of Muslims played a vital part. By doing so they were not only able to carry out their imperialistic adventures in the interest of multinational capitalism but distracted their publics from the economic crimes and attacks on civil liberties they committed, on behalf of capital, against our societies.

Neo-Nazi racism and anti-semitism has to be stamped-on hard so I for one would not lose a moment's sleep if the hard-headed nazis were to be water-cannoned, tear-gassed, tasered, beaten black and blue and served with exemplary prison sentences for defying the law. Sadly, however, I fear that the Belgian police will placate them with only kid gloves.

What Bush, Blair and the chickenhawk nazis have in common is that they are past masters in lying and deceit, abuse, terror and predatory exploitation. They will twist events and turn them on their head, they have no concern for the suffering of others just so long as they can achieve their own greedy ends.

An example of this is how the shadowy characters behind the predominantly Francophone blogs of Les Grouiks (which Blogger refuses to close down even though they clearly contravene Blogger's own contractual terms) spit and snarl at anyone who dares to oppose them. My colleague, Christine Louis-Quéré, has for years been a target for such character assassination. Similarly, our comrade, Xavier-Yves Pedri who organises Opération SCHITA to expose the racists.

Now, I have become a target for Les Grouiks whose defamatory article against me includes a vomitory of insults which ends in calling me a "Kosher Pig", proving that these people are anti-semites period: as much against Jews as they are Muslims. On one occasion, when a Jewish Rabbi in Marseilles donated funds towards the building of a Muslim mosque, the poor man was hounded and abused by the chickenhawk nazis.

The obsessive manner in which Les Grouiks and their fellow-travellers attack, defame, misrepresent and threaten those who oppose them suggests not just a predatory nastiness but something more akin to a demonic psychosis.
