Rise of Nazism in the West

As far back as November 19, 2009, I had tried to project the rise of Nazism in my maiden article, It is Demographics Stupid published in TheNation, in following words: What are the global effects of this demographic imbalance and how these are going to shape the future of the world? We can make some plausible conclusions: The rapidly graying and aging population of the West would warrant massive demand for immigrants. Services sector would assume greater importance. Since Asia and especially Muslim countries are experiencing an unprecedented youth bulge with human resource surplus, the deficit in population can only be met by the West through an import of immigrants from Asian lands. The clash of interest between native white population and immigrant non-white population will give rise to Nazism and neo-fascism, a phenomenon already gaining currency in the white communities in the West. The carnage at Utoeya Island, Norway, by Anders Behring Breivik is haunting the champions of democracy and human rights in the West and their stooges in the East, including Pakistan. According to Sydney Morning Herald, the head of the populist right-wing Progress Party (FrP), Norway's second biggest political party, confirmed Behring Breivik (the murderer) had been a member between 1999 and 2006 and for several years a leader in its youth movement. Anti-fascist monitors meanwhile said that Behring Breivik was also a member of a Swedish neo-Nazi Internet forum named NordiskThe young campers at Utoeya were everything Mr Breivik disliked, politically and racially. The New York Times reported that many victims were the children of immigrants from Africa and Asia, who had begun to stake out a greater role in Norwegian society. The Guardian reported on July 23, Anders Behring Breivik, the man accused of the murder of at least 93 Norwegians in a bomb and gun massacre, boasted online about his discussions with the far-right English Defence League and other anti-Islamic European organisations. To put the records straight, here is Reuters Fact Box about right-wing political parties in Europe (published on January 16, 2011). Across Europe, hard-right parties have been picking up support as voters, disillusioned with their governments and worried about their jobs at a time of economic austerity, are turning to populist parties. Here are recent developments in some right-wing political parties around Europe. France: National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen stunned France when he came second in the 2002 presidential election. In the 2007 presidential election, Le Pen came fourth in the first round with 10.4 percent of votes, and the party scored less than 5 percent in parliamentary elections. Marine Le Pen, his daughter, says her modernising touch and voter discontent with austerity measures and a perceived loss of sovereignty in the euro zone will boost her party. The Netherlands: Anti-Islam Freedom Party (PVV) led by Geert Wilders has attracted a big following by denouncing Muslim immigration and calling for bans on the Quran and the face-covering veils worn by some Muslim women. His Freedom Party won around 15 percent of the vote in the June 2010 election, coming third with 24 seats in the 150 member Parliament. Denmark: The right-wing Danish People's Party, which has warned of a creeping Islamification of Denmark, has been the third biggest in Parliament since 2001 and was helped by a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment after the anti-Islamic cartoon crisis. Hungary: The far-right party, Jobbik, entered Parliament for the first time in April 2010 elections, winning 47 seats in the 386 seat chamber. Austria: On October 10, Austria's anti-foreigner Freedom Party won over a quarter of the vote in the Vienna provincial election after calling for a ban on face veils and pledging to halt mosque building. Norway: Norway's anti-immigrant Progress Party had its best showing ever in the 2009 parliamentary election, winning 23 percent of the vote and consolidating its position as the main opposition party. Sweden: The Sweden Democrats, an anti-immigration party which criticises Islam and Muslims as un-Swedish, won 5.7 percent of the vote and its first seats in Parliament in the September 19, 2010, election - gaining 20 of the 349 seats in the house. Switzerland: The right-wing populist SVP won 29 percent of the vote - the highest of any Swiss party - in a 2007 parliamentary election. It has thrown its support behind a forthcoming referendum that would allow faster expulsion of criminals of foreign origin. The Swiss voted in 2009 to ban the construction of new minarets. The above list, however, does not include Supermascist Nick Griffins British National Party, the far-right Paulo Portas Popular Party from Portugal, Umberto Bossis Northen League from Italy, Venomous Frank Vanheckes Flemish Block from Belgium, and, above all, the rise of ultra-right Tea Party in the heart of the greatest democracy, the United States. Recent discussions on the net as well as the Western TV channels have highlighted one important aspect, which is the rise of neo-Nazism in Europe and even America has not been given due attention in the Western media and there had been a deliberate attempt to hide the facts, as this could create public disorder; even the current massacre at Utoeya Island is being downplayed by the Western mainstream media as an act by a lone wolf. Meanwhile, the Pakistani media has only reported the facts as given by BBC, Fox, CNN and Al-Jazeera; unfortunately, there has been no dispassionate analysis of this important factor. We must realise that Pakistan has a large diaspora living in Europe and America, the rise of Nazism in the West should be of prime concern to all of us as it affects lot of Pakistani expatriates as well as would-be expatriates. The right-wing parties (which in many European capitals are becoming the mainstream parties) have been consistent in projecting their neo-Nazi agendas and poisoning the minds of the white youth to a degree where Utoeya like massacre has happened in the worlds capital of peace like Oslo. The West must realise that Utoeya is just the tip of the iceberg, the simmering currents of Nazism have the potential to bring down the Western house of cards within the next decade. The scale of destruction in that case would eclipse the two Great Wars, as the new white man and his non-white counterpart - the immigrant - are both equipped with intelligence, knowledge and modern tools of destruction unparalleled in history and unavailable hitherto. n The writer is a freelance columnists and A-levels student.
