Muslim Support for Terrorism and Sharia Law: Statistics for Europe, Middle East, North Africa

Intro

Third World migrants, mainly from the Muslim world, have been making it into Europe as "guest workers" since the 1960s. These "guests workers" never left, of course. The number of immigrants kept increasing throughout the 1980s and 1990s, as native white birth numbers began to fall well below the sustainable levels yet, mysteriously, population levels continued to increase and house prices and rent prices increasingly exploded.

Already in the early 1990s tropical swimming pools were registering an enormous problem of gang molestations by Muslim youths; it was all swept under the carpet by politicians and almost all media.

In 2008 the EU's statistical agency, Eurostat, quietly concluded that the European Union would need an enormous, additional 56 million Third World immigrants until 2050 in order to keep available pensions and health care for the retired - and, of course, to grow the economy. 1 And thus, anno 2017, the European Union is home to about 20 million Muslims from the Middle East and North Africa. This rate is exponentially increasing, the estimate being that 8% of Europe's population will be Muslim by 2030. 2 That might not seem much on a population of 750 million, but the fact is that these Muslims, on top of countless other Third World migrants, are primarily to be found in western Europe where they have huddled up in major European cities, transforming much of these once proud tourism pillars into Third World ghettos. All of this is only made possible by Bilderberg elites intimidating the native white masses with the promotion of slurs as "racist", "hater" and "Islamophobe" the second they criticize immigration policy - increasingly on top of criminal prosecution. ISGP has a whole White Guilt Warfare article on that.

Keep in mind, this Third World immigration trend literally is never going to stop, because elites refuse to address the problem of below-two native birth rates and are always looking to grow the economy. In other words, native white Europeans are being PERMANENTLY replaced by a hotchpotch of Third World masses which even individually have never been able to put together a democratic, thriving society. As is almost the case with the United States, eventually whites in western Europe will become a minority, at least when the current trend continues

Looking at this problem and while finding ways to solve it, it might be fruitful to look at the beliefs of Muslims in the Middle East and how their beliefs change as they get here, mainly in relation to religion and support for Muslim terrorism.

Elsewhere ISGP has already focused on the vastly elevated crime numbers among Third World immigrant groups moving into Europe, including Arabs. For most heavy crime the numbers are at least 5 to 6 times higher than native whites, and they go up all the way to 15+ times for certain crimes in certain countries. It's a completely unsustainable system and policy crime-wise. And here we are going to look at the sustainability or unsustainability of religious and cultural beliefs of Third World immigrants in the West.

Middle East
Support for Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden:


64% of Arabs support terrorist attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq; 18% oppose

The following graphs come from a detailed 2009 study of World Public Opinion, a corroboration of experts of the Brookings Institution and universities as Columbia, Georgetown, Maryland and Northwestern. 3 Calculating the averages, without taking Indonesia and Azerbaijan into account, we come to 64% Arab approval and 18% disapproval for attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq:

The averages were calculated without taking Indonesia and Azerbaijan into account.

58% of Arabs support terrorist attacks against U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf; 19% oppose

Almost just as many Muslims support attacks against troops stationed in the Persian Gulf on carrier groups and military bases:


71% of Arabs support Al Qaeda's goal of forcing a U.S. withdrawal from the Middle East

The vast majority of Muslims support the goal of Al Qaeda to force a withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Islamic countries. It also should be taken into account that Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda group represented Sunni terrorism, putting him at odds with the Shia or other non-Sunni Muslim denominations in the Middle East.


31% of Arabs "positive" about Osama bin Laden; 53% "mixed"

Support for Osama bin Laden was very high in the Middle East, despite his attacks on innocent people, most notably 9/11:

The averages were calculated without taking Indonesia and Azerbaijan into account.

True, one World Public Opinion poll revealed that "only" 10 to 20% of people in the Middle East - and thus roughly 160 to 320 million people - support Al Qaeda's attacks on Americans. It probably depends on which countries exactly you include or exclude.

Support for Hamas:

In January 2006, Israel and the West oversaw fair elections in the Palestinian territories. The top 3 results were as follows:

  1. 44.5%: Hamas: A designated terrorist organization.
  2. 41.4%: Fatah: The largest faction within Yassar Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Has a history of terrorism and known terrorists among its ranks. While taken off the terrorism list international, its armed wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, is not. Despite its ties to terrorism, Fatah is less radical than the other two parties here in that it supports negotiations with Israel.
  3. 4.3%: Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa: Communist-oriented terrorist organization.

In June 2007, after a brief battle with the Fatah faction, Hamas took dictatorial control of the Gaza Strip. Almost immediately it started preparing for an unwinnable war with Israel. While the top 3 Hamas leaders ended up living in the terror-sponsoring Qatar state (which also funds Al Jazeera 4, hosts a large U.S. military presence, and is ran by a very globalist Al-Thani royal family), with an estimated worth of $11 billion when the 2023 Gaza War started 5, and meeting with other financial backers as the Ayatollahs in Iran 6 -- their own population in Gaza was being used as human shields. Terror tunnels were dug under their houses and children's schools, and they were prevented as much as possible from fleeing their homes. 7 Alternately, as the Gaza War expanded, many residents refused to leave their homes, because Hamas fighters would take over empty houses, shoot at the Israelis from them, and try to evacuate before the Israelis bomb the house. 8

In 2021 Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar bragged that Hamas had build "over 300 miles [480 km] of tunnels" 9 in preparation for a (pointless) war with Israel. By early 2024, after the genocidal, sadistic October 7, 2023 Hamas attack 10 on Israel and the subsequent Gaza war, Israeli sources estimated the tunnels to be "between 350 [560 km] and 450 miles [720 km]". 11

Hamas build this tunnel network to a very large degree underneath schools, mosques, hospitals and United Nations facilities. 12 Tunnel entrances, of which a thousand+ of all sizes and shapes existed, also often could be found in schools, mosques, or in the houses of a variety of Hamas-allied families. 13 Hamas forced Gaza's population, including many children, to dig these tunnels, sometimes around the clock, while shooting deserters and diggers involved in the most sensitive projects to maintain secrecy. 14 High quality, imported Turkish concrete was used for the tunnels, and supplanted with cheap concrete for regular Gaza construction projects, leading to insecure buildings. 15

While Israel is non-stop blamed for causing a food crisis in Gaza, which is not entirely without merit 16, in contrast, very purposely overlooked are reports that Hamas and the gangs it controls have also been stealing, and occasionally blocking, food and fuel meant for the Gaza population, in an effort to continue their tunnel warfare and to put international pressure on Israel, because it generally is the one being blamed for food shortages. Various Gaza citizens have claimed this, and indicated it is very unsafe to give criticism along these lines. 17 Fatah has claimed it, also saying Hamas has killed aid workers and forces up food prices in Gaza through their black market. 18 Even the arguably pro-terrorist United Nations accidentally admitted Hamas threatens its agencies while stealing supplies, before trying to take it back. 19

We could go on, but now we have some perspective on the situation, as to just how bad Hamas and the October 7, 2023 attack was.


88% of Arabs consider 2023 Hamas genocide "legitimate", 86% says "acceptable violence"; 82% support among West Bank Palestinians and 57% among post-invasion Gazans.

More suprising might be the level of support among Arabs for the October 7, 2023 attack:

In early December 2023, "57% of respondents in Gaza and 82% in the West Bank believe Hamas was correct in launching the October attack." 20 For West Bank Palestinians, that is only a 3% difference with above poll a few weeks later.


67% of Arabs "stand with Hamas" after the 2023 Hamas genocide attack

Support among Palestinians overall for the repressive, murderous Hamas dictatorship had dwindled to 27% in the month before the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, although it still represented the largest available party:

After the attack, internationally, 67% of Arabs vocally declared to "stand with Hamas":



84-89% of Arabs oppose recognition of Israel as a state; 5-8% support




92% of Arabs believe "the Palestinian cause is the cause of all Arabs"




^Sharia support, including stonings of infidels, women and gays

This is how the World Public Opinion study polled support for Sharia law in various Muslim countries:

We find roughly the same numbers in a more detailed study of the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, published in April 2013. 21 The numbers for Sharia Law support were determined to be as follows:

muslims-sharia-law-support-worldwide-huge-large-percentage-pew-study-2009

While the Pew Forum tries to make the case that most Muslims actually believe in democracy, want Sharia Law to apply to Muslims alone, and often only prefer the incorporation of basic Sharia family law, its own polls reveal a much more problematic reality: most Sharia supporters, a great majority of Arab citizens apart from Turkey and Lebanon, also support the stoning to death of adulterers and - reading a little between the lines - a death penalty for all religious minorities.

Below is a summary of the Pew Forum on the wishes of Sharia supporters in the Middle East and North Africa: a religious police (78%), corporal punishment (beatings, floggings, and the amputation of hands and feet) (57%), and the execution of nonbelievers (56%).

Here are some statistics about the beliefs of Muslims, mainly those living in the Middle East:

Clearly the vast majority of Muslims do not believe in women's rights, believe atheists and agnostics must have depraved or criminal minds; and can't deal at all with prostitution, homosexuality, sex before marriage, and even drinking alcohol. Surprisingly, only 50% think western pop culture hurts morality. Obviously a lot of Muslims can't deny that they at least enjoy a little bit of modern pop culture entertainment. The fact is that a television set with Western programming in many cases is the most fun and liberating thing Muslims have access to.

The Pew Forum actually is trying to make the situation sound better than it really is with their poll title "Widespread support for Democracy". Just 55% of people in the Middle East and North Africa, the most important group in European immigration, favor democracy over a "strong leader", i.e. a dictator. Hence, Muslims can't maintain democracies, something we have seen evidence of time and time again, even when democracy is handed to them on a golden platter: Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, etc. Among western whites this poll would read well over 90%.

Here are some more statistics on beliefs of Muslims in the Middle East. They come from a 2016 study of UN Women, first published in May 2017. 22 The study polled Muslims in Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon and Palestine. As we've seen in earlier Pew polls, the Egyptians, of which an increasing number can be found in Italy, turned out to be among the most fanatical Muslims in the Middle East. On top of that, it also is a country where female genital mutilation is still widespread, a practice not to be found in the other countries sampled.

 

Here are the statistics from Morocco. Countries as Spain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands all have large Moroccan populations. While less data is available on Spain, in all these countries Muslim youths in particular are causing tons of mayhem. ISGP has discussed the situation with Moroccans in the Netherlands, where they have been making swimming pools unsafe for young white girls since the late 1980s.


Lebanon is slightly less radical than Morocco and certainly less than Egypt. Unfortunately not all the same statistics are available as with Egypt and Morocco:


Palestine is also not as bad as Egypt and Morocco, but it remains the furthest thing from compatible with western values. Also here not all the same statistics are available compared to the Egypt and Morocco, but the bizarre rape-marriage thing and female harassment numbers are a little lower than all other afore-listed countries, including Lebanon:

E.U.'s Muslim immigrants
E.U. Muslims 3 to 14x more fundamentalist religious than E.U. Christians

In December 2013 a study was published that compared fundamentalist ideas among native Christians and Muslim immigrants in Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and Austria. 23 Once again, the results were shocking. In north-western Europe, Christians are already known to be more conservative than average, but Muslims make them look like the most progressive liberals on the planet:


E.U. Muslims hate gays 5.5x more, Jews 5x more, the West 2.5x more than vice versa, and hate 17x more with all three combined


One wonders where this extreme tolerance of Islam in the liberal-globalist media and liberal-globalist elites comes from, because apart from economic growth there appears to be no reason for it. Certainly in the past there regularly was talk in the media about "the growing intolerance toward homosexuals and Jews" often with little to no mention of who is to blame. 24 That would be Muslim immigrants.

Apart from a little healthy suspicion of overly religious and organized Jewish groups, Westerners really don't care about Jews. Even with all the criticism of the Israel lobby in the United States surrounding AIPAC, whites are not going to torch synagogues. The liberal-globalist media mostly is silent though about the real causes of "rising antisemitism". Only the more right-wing media regularly points the finger at Muslim immigration. Former neocon-type minister of defense and Bilderberg visitor Frits Bolkenstein even gave the advice to orthodox Jews to leave for the United States or Israel, due to the numbers of Muslim immigration. 25

In any case, some things never change. Globalist elites throwing the Jews under bus - alongside white society - would be one of them. They did it before World War II. And now they're doing it again. One thing is certain: looking at average IQ numbers, it's not good for the knowledge economy to get rid of Jews - or even white people.


UK Muslims: 78% support punishment for Prophet Muhammed insulters; 30-40% prefers Sharia Law, with 49-59% "not against it"; 3% supports religious free speech; 75% considers themself "non-UK"

For those readers who missed it: this section is not about people living in the Middle East, but those that have migrated to the European Union. Essentially these numbers reflect how well or bad Muslims are integrating into western society.

A February 2006 poll found that 40% of Muslims living in Great Britain favored the introduction of Sharia law, with another 41% opposing it. 26 That means 59% of British Muslims either want Sharia law introduced or are leaning at least a little bit towards it.

Luckily 99% of the Muslim population thought the 7/7 London bombings, which killed 52 citizens, were misguided, although 20% could sympathize with the feelings and motives of the bombers - 1 in every 5. One wonders to what extent Muslims were censoring their real opinions to poll makers, because "only just over half [of Muslims] thought the conviction of the cleric Abu Hamza for incitement to murder and race hatred was fair." 27 Hamza was a major supporter of Osama bin Laden, terrorism, and openly stated that "Allah likes those who believe in him who kill those who do not believe in him." Hamza is correct in the sense that this is what Muhammed preached. At the very least Muhammed stated that "infidels" can be murdered without consequence and that they'd all end up hell. As for Hamza, today he serves a life sentence in the U.S. for supporting terrorist activity. Apparently over half of the British Muslims should either join him or leave Great Britain to return to their country of origin.

In August 2006, another poll about British Muslims was released, revealing even more worrying numbers:

"Some answers are provided by the most comprehensive survey to date of Muslim opinion in Britain. The results from NOP Research, broadcast by Channel 4-TV on August 7, are startling. ...

"Almost one in four British Muslims believe that last year's 7/7 attacks on London were justified because of British support for the U.S.-led war on terror.

"When asked, "Is Britain my country or their country?" only one in four say it is. Thirty percent of British Muslims would prefer to live under sharia (Islamic religious) law than under British law. … Twenty-eight percent hope for the U.K. one day to become a fundamentalist Islamic state. This comports with last year's Daily Telegraph newspaper survey that found one-third of British Muslims believe that Western society is decadent and immoral and that Muslims should seek to end it.

"The news is no less alarming on the question of freedom of speech. Seventy-eight percent support punishment for the people who earlier this year published cartoons featuring the Prophet Mohammed. Sixty-eight percent support the arrest and prosecution of those British people who "insult Islam." When asked if free speech should be protected, even if it offends religious groups, 62 percent of British Muslims say No, it should not.

"Also concerning freedom of speech, as the NOP Research survey reports, "hardcore Islamists" constitute nine percent of the British Muslim population. A slightly more moderate group is composed of "staunch defenders of Islam." This second group comprises 29 percent of the British Muslim population. The scary reality is that only three percent of British Muslims "took a consistently pro-freedom of speech line on these questions."

"The British government believes that, in recent years, 3,000 British Muslims have returned home from al Qaeda training camps. 28


Suicide bombings support by western Muslims: 13% in the U.S. and Germany, 24% in U.K., 25% in Spain, and 35% (42% among youngsters) in France

Just before, in May 2006, Pew Research Carried carried out its Global Attitudes Project in which Muslims in the United States, Germany (mainly Turks here), Great Britain, Spain and France were polled. Respectively, 13%, 13%, 24%, 25% and 35% of the Muslim population in these countries thought that suicide bombings can be justified.

The (relatively) low U.S. number appears to be the result of the country only having a 1% Muslim population. This will rise to about 2% around 2050. This will cause an increase in the domestic terror threat, especially because Iranians, Pakistanis, Iraqis, Ethiopians, Syrians and Saudi Arabians are among the top Muslim immigrant groups into the country. The Turks are too, but these are less problematic.

Europe has much larger numbers than the United States, somewhere between 5% and 10% anno 2017. France, which has tried to keep the size of its Muslim population 29 and Muslim crime rates a secret 30, has the highest number. France also has huge numbers of North Africans as Algerians and Moroccans and Muslim blacks from North-West Sub-Sahara Africa, all notorious for their radicalism and very high crime numbers. This basically explains why 42% of the younger French Muslims support suicide attacks and why Paris has suffered major riots in recent years, all of which elite institutes and the mainstream media simply blamed on "racist policies" of the majority white population. 31

Germany, in contrast to France, has huge numbers of Turks, the least radical and criminal of any Arab population. It's far from perfect, but they are not remotely as bad as the Moroccans, Pakistanis, Afghans and Somalians who came into the country after the 2011 fall of Gaddafi and the rise of ISIS in 2014 and started the so-called "Muslim rape crisis", something countries as the Netherlands, with its large number of Moroccans already was familiar with since the 1980s.

Spain has a large Algerian and Moroccan population, although not as sizable as France. Many North Africans and Sub-Saharan blacks in North-West Africa prefer France, southern Belgium or the French-speaking area of Switzerland due to the French language that was spread North-West Africa during the colonial era.

Britain has a large Pakistani population, which is more Jihadist than the Turks but not nearly as much as the North-Africans, such as the Moroccans. Pew polls featured earlier in this article demonstrate that pretty well.


24% of French Muslim youths had "(some) sympathy" for ISIS' Bataclan massacre; 45% for Charlie Hebdo murders

In March 2017 a study was discussed in France of the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in which 7,000 14- to 16-year-old students had been polled about their support for ISIS and other Muslim terrorism on French soil. Eventually this study was published in April 2018, but the polls in question had been conducted in September and October 2016, almost a year after ISIS' Bataclan massacre of November 2015, in which 130 concert goers were killed and another 416 wounded; and about 1.5 years after the Charlie Hebdo massacre, in which 12 staffers were killed for publishing satirical cartoons of the Prophet Muhammed.

The publication and discussion of the study is the biggest mess ever. Neither newspapers nor the authors of the study seem to have been interested in providing some clear, concise data on the matter. However, at least the numbers for the Hebdo and Bataclan massacres could be unearthed from a partial copy of the report. The other numbers have been discussed here and there in various publications.

Of the French Muslim youths polled:

  • 45% showed full or partial sympathy with the Charlie Hebdo massacre. 32
  • 24% showed full or partial sympathy with the ISIS' Bataclan massacre. 33

  • 32% considered Islam both the only true religion and more authoritative than science on how the world was created, versus 11% of non-Muslim youths. 34
  • 20% considered it acceptable to "fight with weapons in hand for one’s religion", versus 9% for Christians and 6.5% for non-religious students. 35
  • 64% opposed homosexuality.
  • 69% opposed the banning of headscarfs.

By 2016 apparently 25% of all French teens already were Muslim. 36

49% of 18-34-year-old Dutch Moroccans support Hamas; 39% supported or "didn't oppose" ISIS

A November 2014 study organized by Moroccan leaders in the Netherlands among 700 Moroccan and Turkish Muslims on the street apparently revealed that 49% of Dutch Moroccans between the ages of 18 and 34 supported Hamas' terrorist struggle against Israel and that 39% either supports or doesn't oppose the violence used by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) against "disbelievers". The most fanatic 18% considered the Dutch Muslims who joined ISIS "heroes". 37 Those numbers immediately explain the phenomenon of Dutch Moroccan youths celebrating the September 11 attacks. 38

This poll is very questionable, however, because it polled Turks - often at odds with the Moroccans - as supporting ISIS to the tune of 89%. This makes no sense considering the less radical nature of Turks and numbers from the homeland from that same period that revealed single digit numbers for ISIS support.

After tons of controversy, the Dutch government sponsored a study "revealing" that native white Dutch essentially were just as likely to support ISIS as Turks and only slightly less than Moroccans. In light of the numbers discussed earlier and still to be discussed, these Dutch studies absolutely make no sense, except maybe for the Moroccan numbers in the 2014 study.

The controversy is discussed in more detail in appendix A.


Salafist extremists control almost 50% of Amsterdam mosques

In April 2017 it was reported that almost half of the mosques in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, were controlled by Salafists, the most extreme and terrorist branch of the Muslim faith, together with Wahhabism. Funding from Saudi Arabia, including scholarships for imams in Europe to come study in Saudi Arabia, was seen as the main cause. 39


20% of Belgian Turks and Moroccans "sympathized" with ISIS

Looking at Belgium, in September 2016 VTM Nieuws and Humo magazine polled 500 Moroccans and Turks between the ages of 15 and 55 over their support for ISIS, at a point that ISIS' brutal violence was well known: 20%, or 1 in 5, "sympathized" with ISIS, 16% wouldn't report a "radicalized" (i.e. Jihadist) youth to the authorities, 70% considers the Islam the only true belief, and 65% was of the opinion that Westerners are not tolerant enough of the Islam. Strangely, "only" 8%, or 1 in 12 or 13, thought it correct that Islamists use violence against infidels. How that 8% coincides with the 20% support for ISIS or with earlier-discussed 20 to 35% support for suicide bombings among French and Spanish Muslims, who are made up of a somewhat similar composition, is a good question. It appears indirect, passive support for violence against infidels is higher than active support. In this study it mainly were the older generation of Muslims - up to the age of 55 were included - who supported ISIS while in pretty much all other studies younger Muslims are found to be the most radical. 40

^Conclusions

The conclusions seem obvious: Muslims are not the slightest bit compatible with western society. There literally is no reason to allow them to come here in more than small numbers related to tourism, or a handful of dedicated jobs. The one thing the West need is a drastic increase in white births.

^Appendix A: Questionable studies on Jihadism in the Netherlands

A November 2014 study organized by Moroccan leaders in the Netherlands among 700 Moroccan and Turkish Muslims on the street apparently revealed that 49% of Dutch Moroccans between the ages of 18 and 34 support Hamas' terrorist struggle against Israel and that 39% either supports or doesn't oppose the violence used by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) against "disbelievers". The most fanatic 18% considered the Dutch Muslims who joined ISIS "heroes". Those numbers immediately explain the phenomenon of Dutch Moroccan youths celebrating the September 11 attacks. 41

This report is a bit strange though, because the religiously more moderate Turks all of a sudden supported ISIS to the tune of 89%. Even though Erdogan used ISIS as his tool to get rid of Assad, and the vast majority of Dutch Turks are watching Turkish state television (so much for integration), these numbers simply cannot be accurate. 42 In September 2014 polls in Turkey revealed that only 1.3% of Turks responded to the question "Do you sympathize with IS [ISIS]?" with "yes", with 5% "undecided". 59% of respondents stated they believed ISIS posed a threat to Turkey. 43 So how is it possible that Dutch Turks did overwhelmingly support ISIS? Something doesn't appear to be adding up.

The study caused major political and media consternation - it was discussed everywhere - and was followed up in 2015 by another study, this time by a government agency, the Netherlands Institute for Social Research. And lo and behold, now the needle swung to the other opposite extreme: virtually all traces of Muslim extremism among Turks and even Moroccans disappeared as snow before the sun. In fact, in this study native Dutch youths are roughly as pro-terrorist as Turkish and sometimes even Moroccan youths. Native Dutch women even are more pro-ISIS than Turkish women. For example, page 8, table 3 shows the results to the statement:

"I have a little or a lot of understanding for youths traveling from the Netherlands for ISIS ... to fight...."

Total support for this statement reads: Turkish: 8%, Moroccans: 10%, native Dutch: 8%. For women only: Turkish: 6%, Moroccans: 9%, native Dutch: 8%. And for women above 45: Turkish: 5%, Moroccans: 7%, native Dutch: 8%. What?! In what universe do these numbers make sense? The questions are also ambiguous and open to interpretation, especially for open-minded people. I too can "understand" that brainwashed Muslims want to go fight for their caliphate in the Middle East. But I do not "support" it. So that is the statement the researchers should have posed: "I support the struggle and methods of ISIS." The second statement of the study also is very ambiguous:

"I have a little or a lot of understanding for people who use violence for their faith."

All of a sudden the Turks and Moroccans scored considerably higher with this statement than the native Dutch, respectively 10%, 7% and 2%. The numbers were not listed by both male and young (15 to 24-years-old) and one can understand why, because the numbers would rise to about 20% for this group. It's fascinating how the mainstream media glanced over this fact: "But also among youths an overwhelming majority of certainly 80 percent has no sympathy with IS [ISIS] and religiously-inspired violence." 44 In other words: one in five Muslim youths in the Netherlands supporting ISIS is nothing to worry about.

Then again, even in that case the Dutch mysteriously ended up at 10%. Isn't that strange? Or maybe it isn't. One wonders how different these numbers would look with the statement: "I support the brutal tactics of ISIS, including public torture and slow beheadings of infidels, or at the very least think they are necessary." Yes or no. Followed by the statement: "I would love to join ISIS." Yes or no. Those are questions we can do something with.

Apart from this, the numbers might be skewed, because third generation immigrants might be listed as "native". The third generation doesn't fall into the Dutch definition of "immigrant" anymore (one parent needs to have been born in a foreign country). Whites may also have looked at this question as possibly defending their faith or culture from the Muslim invasion going on these days. Lastly, as the Netherlands Institute for Social Research itself admits, quite a few Dutch Muslim youths don't understand why the Muslims of ISIS have been attacking the Syrian "pro-government" Muslims, suspect the conflict is a U.S.-Israel plot and have been pointing fingers at fake news as Jews posing as ISIS collaborators with Stars of David underneath their garb. The study does make it very clear that the vast majority of Muslim youths primarily identify themselves as being Muslim while not feeling they are part of the Netherlands at all.

There has never been a proper explanation how it is possible that these two studies on Muslim beliefs in the Netherlands differ so completely from each other in numbers. Both appear to be the result of manipulation, the former primarily against Turks and the latter just overall. In any case it is absolutely scandalous that no proper studies on ISIS / Muslim terrorism support among Muslims in the Netherlands exists - or that at the very least not an attempt has been made to explain why an official government study on this subject has such incredibly deviating numbers compared to other international studies on the subject.

We found cameras in one of the houses. We saw the video after. They entered one house with two kids and parents. They tied the parents together and the kids together. And they came to the father.

I saw in my own eyes a woman who was pregnant, four months pregnant, she was in a little village, a little kibbutz. They came into her house in front of her kids, they opened up her stomach, she was pregnant, they opened up her stomach, took out the baby and stabbed a little tiny baby in front of her and then shot her in front of her family. And then they killed the rest of the kids. These are not regular enemies. These are not regular situations. I saw little kids who were beheaded. We didn't know which head belongs to which kid. I was crying for five days straight. ... Little babies, little children, you couldn't even recognize if they were kids. ... We saw a little baby in an oven. They put them in, these bastards put these babies in an oven and put on the oven. ... We found women who were raped, young girls who were raped and then murdered. Anyone who was around these people were murdered or kidnapped.
    We found little twins — 10 months old, twins — 14 hours after their parents were murdered. The mother of the twins was hiding together with the twins in a bomb shelter for two hours. Six o'clock, when they heard the missiles and they heard the shooting, they ran into the bomb shelter in Kfar Azza where 60% of the people were murdered. Beautiful little village, peaceful village, and they were hiding in the shelter, and the kids were so hungry, so starving, kids were crying, 10 months old. So the mother went out to get some food for the children and the terrorists were waiting outside and they caught her. I don't want even to describe to you what we found when we saw the family, both parents were murdered right there in the kitchen. The two children are found by the Golani Brigade when they came in with guns. They found the babies crying for 14 hours. And I was wondering, I asked the soldiers why do they keep the kids 14 hours? Why don't they kill them like all the rest of the kids? They use these little children for bait. So people heard them crying, so people who run to rescue them, they kill them too. That's what they did.”
    *) Nov. 12, 2023, Jerusalem Post, 'Controversy surrounds reports of Israeli baby found burned alive in oven; FakeReporter continues to maintain that it has not yet been able to independently verify the story of the baby burned in an oven.': "The IDF did not present the [baby in the oven] case in any of the three 43-minute-long private screenings of raw footage from the massacre shown to journalists as the incidents of denial have increased. The footage did include atrocities such as videos of burned bodies, bloodied bodies of children and babies murdered in their beds, the execution of a young girl hiding under a table, the beheaded body of a soldier, a burned decapitated head, and the attempted decapitation of a dead Thai worker with a blunt shovel. ...
    In an interview with the BBC on November 7, senior Hamas leader Moussa Abu Marzouk denied that the terrorists who had breached the barrier fence and carried out a massacre on Israel’s southernmost kibbutzim and cities a month earlier had killed any civilians or women and children, claiming that only soldiers [note: all "settlers", including baby's, were considered "soldiers" and to be killed] were targeted. ...
    "In a separate post the same day [October 30, 2023], FakeReporter noted: “The story about the Israeli baby whose body was found in the oven has been circulating for 24 hours and has serious consequences. The story was first circulated by pro-Israeli accounts to describe the dimensions of the massacre carried out on 7/10, but very quickly the trend reversed and the story was used to promote Hamas propaganda and claim that Israel is fabricating evidence and inflating the numbers of the murdered.” ...
    Eli Beer, United Hatzalah founder and president, first presented the case at the Republican Jewish Coalitions’ Annual Leadership Summit in Las Vegas on October 28. In his address to the convention, he said: “"A little baby in the oven – These bastards put these babies in the oven and put on the oven," said Eli Beer, the founder of the volunteer-based Israeli EMS organization United Hatzalah. "We found the kid a few hours later."
    He has also recounted the case as being first told to him by United Hatzalah volunteer Asher Moskowitz who told him about seeing the baby in a body bag when it was brought in to the identification center at the Shura army base.
    [Asher Moskowitz] told the [Jerusalem] Post: “I went into the base and started to take off bodies from the truck. Three or four of us would take a body from the door of the truck to the room where they were opening the bags. One was a very small bag. I was in the room when they opened it and there was the body of a baby, I don’t know if it was a boy or a girl. Most of the bodies from Kfar Aza were burned, but what I saw with this body— it was relatively complete, but hard like a rock, and on its stomach was the sign of a heating element, like a half a circle or a big chain.
    "I went out of the room," he said. "We unloaded more bodies from the trucks and when I saw someone coming out of the room—he was wearing an army uniform, I don’t know if he was a pathologist or a doctor but someone from the IDF Chevreh Kadishah [the organization that prepares bodies for burial, literally "holy friends"]—I asked about the body of the baby. He said that based on the signs on the body, it looks like they put him inside the oven alive, and he said they found the baby dead inside the oven.
    "This really got to me. I have seen a lot of things in my life but this got to me," he said. "The body was not burned like the other bodies.”
    The IDF Spokesman’s Office declined to officially comment on the case. Indeed, noted FakeReporter in their post, the IDF did not present the case in any of the three 43-minute-long private screenings of raw footage."

    “These are not regular enemies,” he said about Hamas. “These are not regular situations. I saw little kids who were beheaded. We didn’t know which head belongs to which kid.”
    These accounts were mocked on social media. After New York Sun reporter Dovid Efune shared in an X post what Beer said about the baby found dead in an oven, Gaza-based professor Refaat Alareer mocked the murder by asking, “With or without baking powder?” in a reply tweet. ...

    A, a resident of Gaza, said they see aid enter Gaza, but they “don’t know where it is headed.” “It goes to the gangs. Hamas controls 70% of it, and the rest goes to merchants who sell it in the market. We do not receive aid except for a few things on rare occasions. The rest is for Hamas, and the merchants belong to Hamas. The prices are very high, and we cannot buy it.”
    The Media Line’s attention was directed to armed men identified by locals as Hamas operatives. After surrounding the aid trucks, the so-called gangs fired rounds in the air as a warning sign to the hungry Gazan citizens to keep away.
    “The people of Hamas are in control,” A continued. “And if not, there are people and gangs affiliated with them. ... It is Hamas that takes the aid and distributes it to the dealers we know. ... I used to buy [diapers] for 10 shekels, and now they cost 180.”

    After UNRWA deleted the posts on X, UN sources and Israeli officials confirmed to the Walla news site that the incident did occur. But UNRWA later uploaded fresh tweets claiming otherwise [saying the goods went to] "health partners." It did not detail who those partners were.
