This is, of course, preposterous. The Muslim migrants, or their children, who now live in Western Europe, have not been subject to “forced labor.” In fact, many of them are not in any hurry to be employed at all. They instead are taking advantage of every benefit the European countries offer: free or heavily subsidized housing, free medical care, free education, unemployment benefits (without having had to work), family allowances, and more. Some of them, mostly young men, find they can supplement what the state supplies by engaging in crime – robberies and burglaries, drug trafficking. That is why in every European country, the percentage of Muslim prisoners is 5 to 10 times the percentage of Muslims in the general population. In France, for example, Muslims make up 6.5% of the population, but 70% of the prison population.
The cost of Muslim migrants to the countries of Europe where they have managed to settle has been gigantic. Tens of billions of dollars are spent on these people whom the Copenhagen imam claims are being exploited as “forced labor.” It’s not only the cost of housing, medical care, education, family allowances, but also the cost to the state of Muslim criminality. Think of the expense of more police, investigators, prosecutors, judges, court-appointed criminal defense lawyers, prison guards and additional prisons. These too are part of the cost of these migrants whom Mundhir Abadallah insists the Europeans have inveigled into coming to Europe where they have, he says, been so ruthlessly exploited, “working for [the Europeans] like slaves.”
It is surely a bizarre form of slavery when the Muslim migrants try desperately to get into Europe where they will, according to Abdallah, be enslaved, while their supposed slave-masters are making every effort, having learned from experience what Muslim migrants have done to their countries, not to persuade them to come in, but forcibly to keep them out.
Mundhir Abdallah:
As for the “young Europeans” who are drawn “to Islam,” the main source of European converts to Islam, are incarcerated criminals who, in prison, want to join the largest gang – Islam – for their own safety, and once they convert, they find an instant brotherhood consisting of fellow Muslims. Islam provides a Compleat Guide to Life that simple souls find comforting; independent thought is discouraged; the authority of the Qur’an and hadith are never to be questioned.
Here’s a deal for Mundhir Abdallah. The Danish government should buy him a ticket back to his Muslim country of origin. He can leave awful Denmark, with its spiritual void, a country drowning in “emptiness and despair,” its people sinking ever deeper into “darkness and corruption.” He can slough off all of that when he is back in Dar al-Islam, and bathed in the pure light of Islam, far from degenerate Infidels wallowing in their spiritual void, recover what makes him truly satisfied. He will be able, for example, to speak about the killing of the Jews without fear of retribution – such a contrast to the Danes, who actually prosecuted him for such speech in 2018.
He will be happy back where he belongs. And so, I’m sure, will we.
Imam Abdallah has things wrong. Germany does not “welcome” the Muslim migrants who keep trying to flood into the country. When Angela Merkel allowed a million Muslims into Germany in 2015, this was not done with the support of the people of Germany; it was Merkel who ignored the wishes of the German people in opening wide the doors to economic migrants who did not come to work as Gastarbeiter, but to take advantage of every benefit a generous welfare state had on offer. Since 2015, even Merkel – who left office in 2021 — was forced to recognize the disastrous consequences of her error and to quickly reduce the numbers of Muslims allowed in. Nor has the rest of Europe “welcomed” these migrants, but increasingly tried to keep them out. Yet Mundhir Abdallah would have his Muslim audience at the Copenhagen mosque where he is imam believe that the Europeans have always been eager to take in Muslims in order to exploit them, to subject them to “forced labor” and to treat them as “slaves.”

Mundhir Abdallah:
The Muslim migrants now cost the economies of Western Europe tens of billions of dollars annually. It is they who are financially “enslaving” the indigenous non-Muslim taxpayers who fund them so generously. It is true that there has been a declining birth rate in Europe, which affects the size of the workforce, but that situation is not being remedied by Muslim economic migrants, who have shown themselves uneager to work, preferring to live as much as possible on the dole. The European countries have other, much better, options. They can bring in, as needed, guest-workers from non-Muslim lands – Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, as well as from Mexico and the countries of Central and South America.
What Mundhir Abdallah describes as “forcing the Muslims” to “assimilate” is nothing more than what has always been asked of all immigrants: to make efforts to integrate into the larger society, to accept the country’s laws rather than try to impose their own, to show loyalty to the state. Instead Muslims try, where they can, to impose the Sharia on their own community, to reject the authority of the Infidel state in the No-Go neighborhoods they’ve created, and to show in their attitudes and behavior that they reject friendship, as the Qur’an instructs, “with Jews and Christians, for they are friends only with each other.” (5:51) The Qur’an also inculcates a belief in Muslim supremacism. Muslims are told that they are the “best of peoples” (3:110) while non-Muslims are the “most vile of created beings.” (98:6) This Muslim supremacism prevents any real integration by Muslims into the societies and polities of the West.
Mundhir Abdallah despises everything about the West, with its supposed “spiritual and moral void,” but he continues to live in Copenhagen, and even after being prosecuted by the Danes for antisemitic hate speech in 2018, shows no intention of leaving Denmark to return to those wonderful lands of Dar al-Islam, so full of spiritual strength and moral uplift. Why would any Muslim choose to remain in those non-Muslim countries suffering from an ever-increasing “spiritual and moral void”?
As for the “young Europeans” who are drawn “to Islam,” the main source of European converts to Islam, are incarcerated criminals who, in prison, want to join the largest gang – Islam – for their own safety, and once they convert, they find an instant brotherhood consisting of fellow Muslims. Islam provides a Compleat Guide to Life that simple souls find comforting; independent thought is discouraged; the authority of the Qur’an and hadith are never to be questioned.
So it’s countries such as the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K., France, and Germany that are suffering from all these “moral, human, mental, and spiritual crises,” and whose societies are “drowning in atheism and despair.” Think of how unclouded are the lives of Muslims who have no such crises to endure, living as they do in such wonderful countries as Yemen, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. Abdallah mentions the “towering rape rates” in Western countries, but neglects to give credit where credit is due – to the Muslim migrants who are now responsible for most of the rapes in Western Europe, most horrifyingly with their grooming gangs, in which very young and vulnerable non-Muslim girls are seduced, drugged, and passed around like party favors among much older Muslims who abuse them, sometimes engaging in group rapes. If “rape rates” in Muslim countries appear low, that only reflects the fact that not rape itself, but charges of rape, are low, because according to the Sharia, convictions for rape require the eyewitness testimony of four men, a nearly insuperable bar. Furthermore, in a Muslim country, a woman who claims to have been raped can find herself being charged with “immorality.”
It’s not the Europeans who have blocked that supposedly “radiant image of Islam.” It’s the Muslims themselves who have done that, with the 9/11/2001 attacks in New York and Washington, in which 3,000 people were murdered, with the terrorist attacks on buses and the Underground in London on 7/7/2005, with the murders of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, the grocery shoppers at the HyperCacher supermarket, the audience at the Bataclan nightclub in Paris, the pedestrians run down in Nice, the Spanish commuters blown up at the Atocha subway station in Madrid, the tourists murdered at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, and the thousands of other Infidels who have been targeted by Muslim terrorists. There have been over 40,000 such attacks since 9/11. It’s the Islamic State fighters slitting the throats of kneeling Christians, mass-murdering Yazidi men and boys, and making sex slaves of Yazidi women and girls. It’s such monsters as Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi of Al Qaeda, and Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi and Abu Ibrahim Al-Qurayshi of Islamic State. It’s Yusuf al-Qaradawi, spouting his murderous antisemitism to his tens of millions of followers world-wide. It’s Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the PFLP. These are what spoil, Imam Mundhir Abdallah, the “radiant image of Islam.”
Here’s a deal for Mundhir Abdallah. The Danish government should buy him a ticket back to his Muslim country of origin.
