We know what PEGIDA is, what it does, and we will never have any of it. We will not revile entire peoples and nations for the actions of the few, it's not what civilized people will ever do but it is what Marine le Pen will always do.
Obama said the actions of a certain group which plays to the same people in America as PEGIDA in Germany, Marine le Pen in France, and UKIP in England are over here 'offensive and hysterical.' Together they are nothing to us because they can take hold only through our weakness.
Where they play to the dark hatred inside all of us, we talk to your love and, corny as it may sound, it is our greatest strength. Through love comes reason and through reason comes peace. There has never been any other way, although in rare times it has been necessary to fight to restore it. In bringing that hatred into our own homes, no matter how humble they may be, it serves only ISIS because it is to their ends a world war comes. It's precisely that which they seek.
Yes, I will fight. I am fighting this minute. This way will never cost a drop of blood for anyone.
PEGIDA, Marine le Pen, Nigel Farage of UKIP, and that minority of Americans who stand with them are serving ISIS in exactly the way those despicable people of ISIS want but the vast majority of Muslims despise. To the extent any of these hateful groups succeed is the same measure of the success of ISIS because they weaken us all and make us vulnerable to further violence and destruction.
We stand proudly with our friends across the ocean who resist the monsters who exploit the deaths and all the tragedies wrought by ISIS because America is not the ones who refuse refugees, it is not the place where ISIS will ever be permitted, and America remembers when Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty were the first thing millions upon millions of refugees ever saw of freedom. Long may it stand and never with the taint of those who would defile it with their hatred.
The Statue of Liberty was built by a Frenchman and this is one of many reasons we stand with them and never with the likes of Marine le Pen. She is not France and those who speak against refugees are not America, they never have been.
Because ... If Not Leading by Example, Why Should Anyone Follow Anywhere?
