Jos De Man Over De Twijfelachtige Toekomst Van De Democratie

Wanneer een grijze wijze man het woord neemt, kunnen we beter luisteren. Jos De Man heeft het allemaal meegemaakt, een oud-linkse die het als advocaat en journalist helemaal kon waarmaken. Anders dan zovelen die vandaag rechtse standpunten innemen, heeft hij daarover geen complexen, want hij heeft ook links zijn sporen ruimschoots verdiend, en links weet dat. Daarom zwijgt het zijn nieuwste boek d

“So: as of 2011, after many decades of being the official and much-funded hypothesis, the Aryan Invasion Theory has still not been confirmed by even a single piece of archaeological evidence.”
Koenraad Elst

“Pandit Lekh Ram’s Risâla-i-Jihâd was the object of a lawsuit, in which Muslims demanded that the book be banned. After several rounds in court, they lost definitively in 1896. But the matter did not end there, for Lekh Ram was murdered in March 1897. Some Muslims, including Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1838-1908, pretender to prophethood and founder of the Ahmadiya sect of Islam),16 openly applauded the murder: “Mirza Ghulam Ahmad published a tract in which he thanked God for the fulfillment of his prophecy that Lekh Ram would die a violent death. … Individuals reported receiving threatening letters, and mysterious notices appeared on the wall throughout the province. ‘All Hindus are warned to remember the Islamic prophets and believe in them; otherwise they will be murdered like Lekh Ram.”

“Nothing determines the BJP position as predictably as the fear of being associated with anything of which the secularist establishment disapproves.”
