The vid starts with French but Timo who appears slightly after the beginning is in English.



Here is the text:

Let me introduce myself briefly: I am Timo, one of the persons behind the DDL. Some of you already know me cause of my assistance in organizing the Amsterdam International meeting for the defense of free speech and against sharia in Europe.

It is an incredible honor to speak here, as a representative of a small organization from a small country, in front of delegates of organizations we deeply admire for their courage and efforts in their battle against neo-barbarism.

Holland, a country just like France, was once known worldwide for her tolerance and freedom. Holland is a country known for her far-reaching liberalization and rights for individuals without, losing sight of the interests of the collective. A country that respects every religion and lifestyle. A country that always has taken the lead for defending dissidents. Or not? Nope. That is history.

— In Holland homosexual people are being outlawed. In several cities gay people are being harassed with threats, spitting, humiliated and even beaten up. Homosexuals are moving in growing numbers out of the city. Even in Amsterdam, once known as the gay capital of the world, it is hard for homosexual people to have a normal life. Politicians are suggesting surrogate measures like to put in decoy -gays and decoy-Jews instead of dealing with the offending group directly. Yes, Jewish people also have reason to imagine it’s the thirties of last century again.

— For Jewish people it isn’t safe anymore on the streets, and especially not for those with the outward characteristics of orthodox Jewish people. Undercover reports in Amsterdam are showing that Jewish people are being addressed because of the fact that they are Jews, insulted, and welcomed with the Nazi-salute. Ex-minister Bolkestein recently warned the Jewish community in Holland that it would be better for them to emigrate, because the Dutch government probably cannot guarantee their safety in the future.

— Crime rates in Holland have risen explosively the past years. Moroccan criminals are over-represented in Dutch prisons, and research has exposed that their percentage of committed crimes is six times higher than that of the native people. Also the kind of crimes are changing: more and more violent, and many victims end up with serious injury, trauma, or even death.

— The street image in many Dutch cities is being dominated by trouble-causing “youths”. These youths regard our entire western society in a very disrespectful way. Frequently women in the streets are addressed with sexual remarks, called “whores”, or even worse, brutally raped. Dutch girls often are picked up from the streets, drugged, raped, blackmailed and forced into a life of prostitution.

— The safety of the reporting media is not longer guaranteed. Camera teams are chased out of no-go areas in a violent way, and newspapers are so often threatened nowadays that they change what they publish.

— Firefighters and ambulance staff aren’t able to do their duty without a police escort. And many times complications appear, or people even die, due to the fact the emergency workers are being harassed while doing their jobs.

I don’t have to tell you which group operating from a certain ideology is responsible for this, and I also assume these facts doesn’t sound strange to you. The previously used word “neo-barbarism” is of course a synonym for radical Islam.

Neither the parents, the Imams, nor the community are checking or correcting these “youths”. They simply shrug their shoulders quickly and tell us they don’t have the situation under control. “These youths are a product of their environment.”

For us this was the reason to start our movement.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this speech, our new group, the Dutch Defence League, organized the international meeting in Amsterdam. We faced many threats from leftists and Islamist alike, and we had the full force of the Dutch establishment and state deployed against us to disrupt our efforts.

Our work in Amsterdam shows that even a small group of committed good people can organize events that capture the attention of a nation. The Amsterdam was a success long before the day of the demonstration and the additional publicity on the day was a bonus – our aim had already been achieved.

The DDL is proud to be actively cooperating with or friends across Europe. We were at the event in Berlin back in October, we are here in the beautiful city of Paris today and we join our English allies at the demonstration in the highly Islamized town of Luton in February. International cooperation is essential to our cause, and we must stick together in our collective efforts to defend freedom and democracy across our continent.

Today we stand at the foot of a mountain. It is a huge mountain, which will take a long time to climb. But we HAVE to climb it. Together, so we can support each other, share our knowledge, and be there for each other when it’s needed. Only in that way we will be able to reach the top and say to each other:

‘It’s a magnificent view, isn’t it ?!

I met Timo at the DDL event outside the Iranian Embassy in Den Haag on the 11th of this month. He has a great insight into what faces us in Europe from militant Islam and talks with passion, knowledge and belief.

Shared a few(!) drinks with him and other DDL boys afterwards and had a great time. He´s a top guy and I hope to be travelling with him and the DDL and maybe GDL over to Luton in February.

It is people like Timo that will drive the European Leagues on!

NS.

Wow that was good, and so heartening to read, quite moving.

Poignant and so true:

Today we stand at the foot of a mountain. It is a huge mountain, which will take a long time to climb. But we HAVE to climb it. Together, so we can support each other, share our knowledge, and be there for each other when it’s needed. Only in that way we will be able to reach the top and say to each other:

Shame both threads are not merged. Important words on both, and both are related.

and this fact aswers those who were asking the question "what has the EDL achieved in its 18 months of existence",forget the explosive growth of the EDL in the u.k. for a moment,and look at our friends in europe where new defence leagues are being created everywhere based on the model created by our own uk leaders.these groups look to us in the uk for their lead and inspiration,and our leaders provide it on our streets nearly every month."18 MONTHS AGO THERE WAS NOTHING",AND SOME OF YOU ASK WHAT HAS THE EDL HAS DONE,SHOW SOME HUMILITY AND GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.a few days ago 38 organisations,groups and defence leagues across europe created a "EUROPEAN RESISTANCE MOVEMENT" to fight against the islamification of europe do you doubters believe that the EDL had no influence or imput into the creation of that movement.as you can see i am a newby on this forum and a mouthy one at that,but i can see even if some of you who have been on this forum longer than me cant that without our leadership and possibly without one man we would all still have "NOTHING"

*The Dutch Defence League was founded in August 2010 by a group of regular Dutch visitors of the Forum of the English Defence League. The English appellation of the DDL instead of a Dutch one is a sign of respect and honour to the brave founders and loyal members of the English Defence League.

We ll never forget ;)
When she was 6, Muhammad asked Abu Bakr, Aisha's father, for her hand. Abu Bakr thought it was improper, because, as he said "I am your brother"; Muhammad brushed aside Abu Bakr's reservation by saying that it was perfectly lawful for him to marry Aisha [Ref: SAHIH BUKHAR I7:18].

I don't know exactly but would like to point point out that the founders of the Dutch Defence League were regular posters of this forum and were inspired by the success of the EDL to form their own Defence League.
