Multiculturalism - Our strength or our weakness > Russian Orthodox Patriarch blasts multiculturalism

 

Western countries have adopted the slogan 'Diversity is our strength!'  I'm not sure who invented that term or on what basis it was established, but one could easily argue that the opposite is true. 

Here, the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church explains what is wrong with multiculturalism.

Christian leader blasts multiculturalism

The traditional spiritual values of the Russian people are being “crossed out,” Patriarch Kirill has said

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, has warned about attempts to use multiculturalism to turn the country into a “nationless and faithless” society.

The traditional spiritual values of the Russian people are sometimes being “not just trampled upon, but literally crossed out,” Kirill said during a speech in Moscow on Tuesday, as cited by the official website of the church.

It happens despite the fact that Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2022 signed a decree clearly stating that “Orthodoxy plays a special role in the formation and strengthening of traditional values,” he reminded churchgoers.

“Crosses on pictures with churches and even in state symbols are being shamefully rubbed out. Although, one should not be ashamed of the cross, but of one’s own rootlessness and forgetfulness,” the patriarch stressed.

He sounded the alarm over the alleged persecution of Christian humanities faculty lecturers at the country’s universities, saying “it turns out that even in the teaching of Russia’s history there can be ‘too much religion.’”

“They are repeating the idea that Russia is a ‘multinational and multi-confessional’ country like a mantra. Nobody would have argued with this if in practice this formula did not turn into an attempt to reformat our Fatherland into a nationless and faithless society,” Kirill stressed.

Russia is home to 195 peoples, who speak between 277 and 295 dialects, according to the country’s Ministry of Science.

A study carried out by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTSIOM) last year suggested that the vast majority of Russians considered themselves Orthodox Christians (66%), followed by Muslims (6%), Buddhists (1%), Protestants (1%), Jews and Catholics (both less than 1%). Another 13% said that they were non-believers.

If you dig deep into the universities, you are likely to find many of that 13% of non-believers. You might also stumble across some hint of George Soros since every Western country where Soros is active is becoming more and more antiChristian and antisemitic.

Germany: Two Muslim migrants arrested plotting

jihad massacre in Sweden over Qur’an burnings

Aug 22, 2024 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Jihadists are moving freely throughout Western countries, thanks to globalist leaders who either welcome them or are lax regarding migration. Among these jihadists are aspiring “martyrs” who are ready to murder non-Muslims for exercising their right to the freedom of expression.

As the numbers of thwarted plots continue to rise, citizens become so accustomed to hearing about them that the growing threat is minimized or ignored outright.

German prosecutors charge 2 men accused of planning an attack in Sweden over Quran burnings

Associated Press, August 21, 2024:

BERLIN, GERMANY — Two men accused of planning an attack in Sweden for an affiliate of the Islamic State group in response to the burning of copies of the Quran have been charged in Germany, where they were arrested earlier this year, prosecutors said Wednesday.

The two Afghan citizens, identified only as Ibrahim M.G. and Ramin N. in line with German privacy rules, were charged with conspiring to commit a crime and violating export laws. Ibrahim M.G. was charged with membership in a terrorist organization and Ramin N. with supporting one.

The men were arrested on March 19 near Gera in eastern Germany. Federal prosecutors said they filed the indictment on Aug. 12 to the state court in Jena, which will decide whether and when the case goes to trial.

Ibrahim M.G. is accused of joining an IS affiliate that has carried out attacks in Afghanistan and elsewhere, known variously as ISIS-K, IS-K or ISPK, in August 2023. Prosecutors said that prior to that, the two suspects collected about 2,000 euros (US$2,220) in Germany in donations for IS.

Ibrahim M.G. allegedly was tasked by the IS affiliate in summer last year with carrying out an attack in Europe as a reaction to Quran burnings in Sweden and elsewhere. The two suspects planned to kill police officers and other people near the Swedish Parliament in Stockholm using firearms and made “concrete preparations” in close consultation with members of the group, prosecutors said in a statement.

The two men conducted online research on the location and tried repeatedly but unsuccessfully to procure weapons, prosecutors said.

None of the many media reports on this atrocity attempt to describe the terrorist even though he is still at large. The ear-markings of the attack are obvious, but one doesn't dare suggest what it might have been anymore. You can go to jail for telling the truth, but omitting the truth is no better than lying. Satan is the father of lies and liars. 

 

Knife attack at German festival leaves several injured, dead

The suspect reportedly remains at large, after randomly attacking festival-goers in the western German city of Solingen.

 AlJazeera

23 Aug 2024

German media reports have indicated that a knife attack targeted a “Festival of Diversity” held to mark the anniversary of the founding of the city of Solingen, leaving several people dead.

An official death toll has not yet been released, but The Associated Press has quoted local police as saying three people were killed and four seriously injured.

Solingen Mayor Tim-Oliver Kurzbach addressed the attack in a statement on social media, confirming that a number of people had been wounded and killed, though he did not provide specifics.

“This evening, we are all facing shock, horror and great sadness in Solingen. We all wanted to celebrate our city’s anniversary together, and now we have to mourn dead and injured people,” Kurzbach wrote.

“It tears my heart apart that there was an attack on our city. I have tears in my eyes when I think of those we have lost. I pray for all those who are still fighting for their lives.”

The Bild newspaper reported that the assailant had fled the scene after attacking festival-goers seemingly at random around 9:45pm local time (19:45 GMT).

The attack took place at the Fronhof, a market square in Solingen where live music was taking place. Law enforcement has cordoned off the city centre as investigations are under way.

A video circulating on social media appeared to show festival organiser Philipp Muller at the event, announcing that nine people were fighting for their lives after the attack.

Solingen, a city of nearly 160,000 residents, sits in western Germany near its border with the Netherlands, in the North Rhine-Westphalia state.

The “Festival of Diversity” began on Friday and was scheduled to be a weekend-long event, designed to celebrate the city’s 650th birthday.

Russia: Islamic State jihadis take control of prison,

cut guard’s throat, taunt Putin

ISIS fanatics take control of Russian jail cutting guard’s throat and taunting Putin before gruesome siege ends in bloodshed when inmate ‘fails to blow himself up’ and is ‘liquidated’ by special forces along with three others

by Miriam Kuepper, Will Stewart and Elena Salvoni, Daily Mail, August 23, 2024:

ISIS fanatic inmates who took took control of a Russian penal colony, slashing a guard’s throat and forcing maimed hostages to beg Putin for help, have now been ‘liquidated’ by snipers, according to security forces.

Video emerged of knife-wielding prisoners at the ‘harsh regime’ IK-19 penal colony in Volgograd saying they were ‘mujahideen’ of Islamic State seeking revenge for their ‘brothers’ who carried out the Crocus City Hall massacre.

One of the hostage-takers, identified as Rustamchon Navruzi, 23, a native of Tajikistan, is said to have strapped himself with explosives the prisoners made in the jail workshop using petrol and industrial liquids.

The four attackers posted gruesome videos showing them holding a knife to the neck of a terrified guard while other uniformed officials were seen lying on the floor bleeding.

A wounded prison officer – his face covered in blood – was seen in another video being forced to beg Vladimir Putin to intervene inside the Surovikino prison compound.

The hostage-takers reportedly demanded a helicopter, £1.5 million in cash and an air corridor to the southeast in order to leave the country, and threatened to kill the hostages if their demands weren’t met.

But the siege came to a dramatic end as Russia’s feared special forces moved in with Navruzi trying and failing to detonate his suicide vest – before being ‘liquidated’ along with his three fellow attackers.

Video emerged of a prisoner holding a knife to the neck of one of the guards, whose blood appeared to be all over his uniform

In the Kremlin, a pale-looking Putin was seen discussing the crisis with officials.

In their bloodthirsty videos, the perpetrators described themselves as ‘Mujahideen of the Islamic State’, and at least one spoke Arabic, as they said they had seized control of the penal colony they were held at.

Mash news outlet said it is believed the four hostage takers had become radicalised inside the jail.

Russia state media said at least one member of the prison staff is believed to have been killed.

Footage shows at least four uniformed prison officials lying or sitting in pools of blood. Three guards of the guards were lying motionless and one appeared to have had his throat cut….

Islamic Insanity > "Diversity is a disaster", Farage; Birmingham mosque recruiting for ISIS

 

UK: ‘Diversity is a disaster’

APR 9, 2024 9:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

The architect of Brexit, Nigel Farage, succinctly describes the outcome of the leftist program of “diversity”: “disaster.” Although leftists relentlessly claim that “diversity” is our strength, in reality, efforts to impose “diversity” work to cancel and stigmatize anyone who opposes “diversity” policies.

If you criticize reckless open-door immigration, leftists call you “racist” and “anti-immigrant.” If you criticize Sharia abuses and warn about jihad threats, they label you “Islamophobic.”

Now, in the face of a new finding that a mere 25% of Muslims in Britain “believe that Hamas committed murder and rape in the October 7 attack,” Farage concluded:

Overwhelming and explicit video footage of the October 7th atrocities are not difficult to find. Britain has a serious problem. Farage’s comment is not exaggerated, and the results of open-door migration continue to prove him right.

Nigel Farage outlines ‘most conclusive proof yet’ of

UK immigration ‘disaster’ in new poll

by Katie Harris, Express, April 8, 2024:

Nigel Farage issued a warning after a shock poll found just one in four British Muslims believe that Hamas committed murder and rape in the October 7 attack on Israel.

The survey on the six-month anniversary of the massacre found that 46% of British Muslims said they sympathise with the terror group.

Meanwhile, 52% want it to be illegal to show an image of the Prophet Mohammed in the UK and 32% want Sharia law implemented….

‘There is the case of Birmingham. Within the mosque, they recruit people for ISIS.’

APR 9, 2024 11:30 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER

Nothing will be be done, of course. Remember, this is taking place in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain. If any actual were taken against any mosque in Birmingham, the charges of “Islamophobia” would ensue swiftly, followed by resignations in disgrace and official apologies.

Terrorist groups recruit radicalized Muslims online as

security operatives work to stop terror

by Giorgia Valente, The Media Line, April 7, 2024:

Both the Islamic State group (ISIS) and al-Qaeda have been recruiting lone wolves online to plan terrorist attacks. While counterterrorist organizations worldwide are trying to respond to this phenomenon, they are finding it difficult to prevent all the threats.

“ISIS has used social media to recruit and do its activities,” V.S Subrahmanian, a professor of computer science at Northwestern University, told The Media Line.

Explaining the difficulties in monitoring them, he said: “As experts, we cannot blindly enter online chats of terrorists; this could compromise us for two reasons: The terrorists may recognize us as potential threats to them if we lack proper training for undercover work or if they consider us unsuitable as new members. On top of that, intelligence organizations may target us as suspicious if we’re in certain groups.”

According to Michael Barak, a researcher at the Institute for Counter-Terrorism of the Launder School of Government Diplomacy and Strategy at Reichman University, “RocketChat is a very famous tool used by both organizations. They have inner chat rooms where they can find new contacts. In addition, there is Discord, another tool used to explain to new militants the instructions to join the ranks.”

With al-Qaeda in particular, Barak said, “We see the example of Inspire magazine, written in 13 different languages. Languages are important to locally target the Muslim audience but, overall, the message is basically the same on how to plan terrorist attacks worldwide by building explosives, targeting specific people, and so on.”

He explained further: “This magazine [Inspire] is very useful to target lone wolves in the West, because they are already within the Western countries, but the call to jihad also applies to people living in the MENA [Middle East and North Africa] region, as much as the militants pursue the goals of the terrorists’ agenda.”

Both organizations attract new assets offline as well. They use various methods, ranging from radical speeches in mosques and prisons to applying pressure through friends or relatives already in the circle who are used as mediators in the recruitment process.

“There is the case of Birmingham, where there is a huge Salafi community. Within the mosque, they recruit people for ISIS,” said Barak. “The targets are mostly young Muslims who radicalized themselves once they came in contact with European society, which they perceive as different from their own.”…
