We are witnessing a major shift: Islamists are losing in the Middle East, and where will they settle? They have a foothold in the diasporas in the West, and they will flock to the United States and Western Europe. But in the United States Trump has closed the borders, and therefore the flow will go to a Western Europe that is already weak. The flow we have seen is only the beginning, warns Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

European leaders’ attempts to slow the flow are rhetorical only so far. The will is lacking. Take Norway:

Of the slightly more than 55,200 who immigrated last year, 48,000 were foreign citizens.

In 2019, nearly 44,600 foreign citizens immigrated to Norway. (NTB)

These figures do not receive the attention they deserve. They mean that the replacement of the population is accelerating. The institutions of the state are geared towards taking care of those who arrive; it is called allocation of resources, and it has priority over taking care of the districts, the elderly, the “Norwegian”. In general, to operate with distinctions between Norwegians and foreigners is haram.

Therefore it will not be permissible to direct attention towards who it is that is arriving. The massive agitation against Trump is intended to block such a debate.

But as developments proceed, politicians and the media will become busy: the European house is burning and the elite does not have enough firemen.

The Iranian regime has its tentacles deep in European societies and can order terror, via criminal networks such as Foxtrot.

Equally important is the infiltration of societal institutions. In countries such as Norway it is the state that finances these NGOs, centres and think tanks of various kinds, all of which lean to the left and are sympathetic to Islam. There is a boundary for what one may say and think. But there is no corresponding boundary against the right. The war against the right knows no limits. Look at the treatment of Asle Toje.

Helgemorgen had a visit from Joseph Salomonsen, who has an interesting biography:

Joseph Salomonsen (often spelled “Josef” in some contexts) is a Norwegian-Iranian expert on the Middle East, integration, migration and democracy-building. He was born in Tehran in Iran in 1976, grew up in Montreal in Canada, and moved to Norway as a 12-year-old. He has a background in economics and the social sciences, and is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Agder, where he researches migration policy in turbulent times.

In his career Salomonsen has, among other things, worked as a senior adviser at the Directorate of Integration and Diversity (Integrerings- og mangfoldsdirektoratet, IMDi) from 2012 to 2020, with a focus on migration, integration and knowledge development. He is now assistant director and head of Democratic Resilience at ARKIVET Peace and Human Rights Centre in Norway, where he oversees programmes such as Plattform, Dembra and educational initiatives aimed at democratic resilience and the prevention of extremism. His research interests include Islam, jihadism, terrorism and policy development related to migration.

Salomonsen is also an active media contributor, with appearances on NRK, TV2 and other channels, where he comments on topics such as the Iranian regime, conflicts in the Middle East and ethical aspects of the use of artificial intelligence in warfare. He lives in Arendal in Norway and is active on social media such as Instagram and YouTube. (GROK)

Ever since Karl Marx, communism has known how to infiltrate society in order to take power. Antonio Gramsci called it the long march through the institutions. Social-democratic countries are almost made for such a takeover.

Joseph Salomonsen was a guest on Helgemorgen. I heard him explain that the regime in Iran is not like others. It is revolutionary. It has cells in every single local community. It has support of 50 per cent in a country of 93 million. That means the regime is invincible. The United States is destined to lose.

Salomonsen was more modest when he commented on the demonstrations in January, but now he has turned up the tempo and the fervour. His pro-regime genes have been activated and we will see this among a certain type of Iranians throughout Europe.

They function as a fifth column, but does not the press do the same? For they support the same interpretation: all news material and analyses are framed according to what is negative for the United States.

This agitprop the media have now perfected over ten years in the war against Trump. If they have the choice between Trump and the ayatollahs they choose Islam. In Europe it is a choice with fateful consequences.

The alert part of the population sees that we stand before a fateful choice, but lacks a voice.

Document gives you the voice.
