10 tips how to counter Islam (af psykolog Nicolai Sennels, tidligere offentliggjort på 10news.dk.)

1) Fight, stop and roll back all types of Sharia
Islamic law, Sharia, is opposed to secular, democratic laws and humanistic values. It is not only discriminatory towards Muslim women, it demands Muslims to actively oppose democracy, and to fight, enslave and kill non-Muslims. By allowing Sharia into our societies, no matter in how small quantities, we are giving breathing air to a system that ultimately aims at our destruction. It also sends a welcoming signal to Islamic fundamentalists, that they can come and live without having to assimilate to our societies and values. It sends a signal to both Muslims and non-Muslims that democratic, humanistic values are worth less than the foreign and medieval, religious laws of a brutal religion.

Examples of Sharia:
– Halal, Muslims-only prayer rooms, Islamic holidays and traditions in public institutions.
– Islamic face-coverings (burqas and niqab) in public areas.
– Islamic veils as part of public uniforms.
– Dominating Islamic architecture in our cities.

2) Stop the mosques
Mosques spread a literal interpretation of the Islamic scriptures. They refuse to distance themselves to the criminal aspects of the Quran and Muhammed. Instead, they preach these as divine truths. Thus, mosques functions as rally points for Islamic fundamentalists and exercises social pressure on more moderate Muslims to adhere more strongly to the Sharia.

Therefore we must stand by Free speech, and there is no other real way to do this than by using it actively to criticise Islam. If possible, publicly and without hiding our face and name.

4) Stop Muslim immigration
Islam is spreading via emigration. The Quran even promises abundance and a divine reward for emigrating for the cause of Islam: ‘And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance,’ says the Qur’an. ‘And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.’ (4:100)

We have to insist on full border control, complete national control with immigration and refugee laws (opposing EU and UN) and a full stop of Islamic immigration (including family reunifications). Bitter experience show, that it is impossible to integrate Islamic culture sufficiently. The result is devastating economical problems and the creation of parallel societies with extreme crime rates, functioning as hotbeds for terrorists and the spread of Sharia at the expense of secular law.

5) Giving people something to rally behind
A majority of Westeners is worried about Islam and Muslim immigration. But out of fear, most people do not speak out about it. To remove this fear it is important to make people aware that many other support their opinion and that there are strong, sympathetic communities and movements, that they can easily rally behind. One very successful such movement is the German Pegida demonstrations.

Be an inspiring example by showing courage, being knowledgeable and acting without anger.

6) Activate religious and political institutions
This is basically about lobbying.

If you are lucky, you might get really good contacts inside media or the established parties or acknowledged organisations.

7) Start blogging – every day!
There is a catastrophic lack of blogs in many countries. Important with blogs: Post stuff every day (to build up traffic and interest), make a newsletter and make it easy for people to sign up for it (you can just build your newsletter out of e.g. your 10 latest posts), link to original sources, stick to the facts, no emotional outbursts, keep a sober language and ban racists and Nazis from commenting.

Whatever you post, makes sure to also spread it on Facebook (in several groups if possible) and Twitter. Get your tech-friend to do some SEO and if you like, build up a blogger community where you share the work load of finding, translating, posting and spreading news.

8) Demonstrations
If you have the capacity, making demonstrations can be very effective. It often attracts media, it mobilises people and it can send a strong signal to politicians (especially if you manage to get journalists interested). Use Facebook to announce it, remember to get the right permits from the police and from the local municipality, make signs and a big front-banner. Find good/famous speakers and consider to not just do one demonstrations, but a string of them on e.g. every Monday or 1st Monday in every month.

You can also chose to do such demonstrations in front of mosques, the parliament or other places where it will attract more attention from relevant people.

9) Write letters to the editor – and keep doing it
If the media had not been so reluctant to report about the nature of Islam and the consequences of Muslim immigration, the current threat against freedom and safety would not be at the level it is today. The earlier our fellow voters are convinced that filling their parliaments with brave women and men who are willing to counter the influence of Islam, UN’s conventions on immigration and EU’s laws on open borders, the greater the chance of a successful outcome for everybody. Journalists and editors are not happy to report about things that they willfully have kept as a secret in order not to stir up any “wrong” thoughts in the population. In We can help to fill the information gap by sending letters to the editors. The opinion pages are the most read sections in newspapers, and even if the letter is not printed, we still sent a signal to the editor that their readers are interested in this particular topic (and if they want to sell newspapers they better write about things that interest their readers). A third benefit is that by formulating such letters, one sharpens one’s mind and ability to argue for freedom and against its enemies. Here is how you get started:

a) Find the email address for letters to the editor.
b) Always write about current matters. It can be EU’s refugee quotas, a recent statement from politicians, fresh statistics on immigrant crime, etc.
c) Write concise – short and precise. 2-5 sentences should be enough. Longer pieces can be excellent but it is harder to get the editor to print them on paper. Example: “The only win-win solution to the refugee problem is to send all back and build proper camps in their own regions. In this way hopefuls are dissuaded from leaving their families alone in dangerous conditions and taking long and often deadly travels. We can provide food and safety for dozens of people for the same money that it costs to accommodate a single asylum seeker here in our own country. I vote for closed borders, sending back refugees and helping them in their own regions where they can feel more home in their culture and language.
d) Include links for documentation.
e) Use a fake email, name and address if needed.
f) Bcc relevant friends so they can be inspired.
g) Copy-paste your letters into comment sections on online news sites and blogs – to maximize the benefit of your efforts. You can also send them to relevant politicians or post them on Facebook etc.
h) Find out how to check if the newspaper printed your letter – and remember to celebrate when you get a letter printed on paper (I get around one out of three letters printed on paper – I have more than 700 on paper until now).

10) Protecting the inner level
Many people in Europe and also some in the rest of the West are preparing themselves for living in more violent societies. In Sweden there is an increase on weapon sales, in Germany pepper spray is sold out, and still more women and men learn self defence. Hopefully many will join their country’s national guard.

So claim and live up to you and your generation’s responsibility. And be that courage, joy and love that you wish future generations to experience and build their life and societies on
