Pim Fortuyn, the hero of Rotterdam, the man who shook the country
awake, once said, "Do not aim for what is possible, but what is
imaginable." He wanted to make clear that for us, the Dutch, nothing
is impossible.
Pim Fortuyn was right. Nothing is impossible for us. We are Dutch.
Look at our country. We have single-handedly created this unique and
beautiful land. We are the only people in the world living in a country
which for the largest part we created ourselves. A great achievement.
We not only created our own land, but we also explored the world. We
have sailed all the seas. We founded New York and discovered Australia.
Sometimes, it seems like we have forgotten it all. Forgotten what we are
capable of. What we are capable of when we put our mind to it. And maybe
that is our problem. We must dare to think big again. Because where there
is a will, there is a way.

- This is how the
minds of Islamic supremacists seem to work: If you want churches to
remain churches, it means you are "disturbed by the Koran or
Islamic prayers," and you disrespect or "insult"
Islam. According to Islamic scriptures, those who "insult"
Islam or its prophet Muhammad are to be executed.
- So if one wants
to survive under Islamic rule, one has to submit to Islam and accept
one's own inferior status. There is apparently no place for
diversity or civilized, equal coexistence of Muslims and non-Muslims
in Islamic nations.
- "I can
only think of one reason [to turn Hagia Sophia into a mosque]. As a
shout of Islamic triumphalism. What a mistake that would be.
Christians would rightly consider it an intentional insult. The
international community would see it as an open rejection of its
diversity agenda. Moreover, I think that a relatively secular Turkey
acting so radically would demonstrate to the world that despite
moderate Muslims' many assurances to the contrary, contemporary
Islam is intolerant in outlook, belligerent toward non-believers,
and dangerously hegemonist in its intentions." — Wesley J.
Smith, author.
- The West did
not protect Anatolian Christians during the 1914-1923 genocide. It
does not seem as if the West will protect Europe against what seems
to be the current bloodless Muslim invasion, either.
The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul was the grandest
cathedral in the Christian world, until it was captured and converted to
a mosque by the Muslim Ottoman Turks in 1453. The Turkish Republic
converted the Hagia Sophia to a museum in 1935, and Turkey's current
Islamist government is now converting it into a mosque. (Image source:

The process of converting the historic Hagia Sophia
church-then-museum in Istanbul into a mosque, in the works for the past
three years, now seems to have been finalized.
In 2013, the deputy prime minister of Turkey Bulent Arinc at the
time, while speaking to reporters, signaled that Hagia Sophia Museum
would be used as a mosque.
"We currently stand next to the Hagia Sophia Mosque ... we are
looking at a sad Hagia Sophia, but hopefully we will see it smiling again
soon," Arinc said during the opening ceremony of a new Carpet
Museum, located next to the ancient Hagia Sophia, the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet
had reported.
The pro-government Turkish newspaper Sabah ran a story on
June 1, 2016 entitled, "Historic Moments at Hagia Sophia. The
longing is about to be over!... The mosque of Hagia Sophia will witness
historic moments in the month of Ramadan..."
