The New Face of Fascism

A quote from Diana West in The Washington Times, 14 September 2007

In a photo that should be titled The New Face of Fascism, we see black-clad Belgian policemen brutalizing a man in a light-colored suit and tie. His hands are cuffed behind his back, his right elbow is clasped in what is known as an arm-bar hold, and he is also being subjected to a genital hold – a vicious grip that, a retired cop friend of mine tells me, would get any American policeman thrown off the force.

The man under arrest was Frank Vanhecke, president of the Flemish secessionist party Vlaams Belang and a member of European Parliament. Also arrested and beaten was Filip Dewinter, [...] I’ve met both men and know them as free-market, small-government conservatives who deeply believe Western civilization is worth defending against the Islamization that occurs with the entrenchment of Shariah. Indeed, they are bravely trying to prevent Europe’s Islamization, practically by themselves. […]

There is another consequence of our blindness: a terrible indifference to cultural allies in Europe who are fighting its Islamization – a cataclysm for the liberty-based West. We ignore them at our peril.

Brussels Fascism

This is the first time the Brussels socialist fascists are internationally exposed. Belgium has already apoligized to the italian parlementarian who was also manhandled and arrested. Of course the flemish parlementarians are scum and not worthy of an apology, isn't it Mr. De Gucht, Mr. Verhofstadt and tutti quanti?

Finally...

An American journalist who reported (and editorialized) the story.

Better late than never.
