Senior AfD member vows to ban Islam across Europe, starting from Istanbul’s Bosporus

29 January 2018

A senior member of the anti-Islam, right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) vowed that once the party comes to power, they would ban Islam starting from the Bosporus in Istanbul — the exact point where the European continent begins.

Speaking to his AfD supporters on Saturday in Eisleben, Germany, Bjoern Hoecke said: “Once we come into power, we will enforce what is necessary for us to live our lives freely. We will issue the directive that after crossing the Bosporus, the three great M’s: Mohammed, Muezzin and minaret are over, dear friends!”

Hoecke also said Muslims were lovers of war because their Prophet Mohammed was a general. “That’s why we have to take Islam seriously as a threat,” he said. He further claimed in his one-hour speech cheered by a passionate crowd that he was not an enemy of Islam and he was “actually tolerant;” however, Islam did not belong to Europe. Hoecke did not elaborate on how the AfD would legally ban the religion in Germany and other European countries as leaders in German politics. https://www.dailysabah.com/europe/2018/01/28/senior-afd-member-vows-to-ban-islam-across-europe-starting-from-istanbuls-bosporus

The AfD has often been portrayed as intolerant of various races and religions.

Perhaps to reduce that perception, notice what the AfD did recently:

January 18, 2018

BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany’s lower house of parliament on Thursday voted to step up efforts to combat anti-Semitism and called for the creation of a new government post to oversee the issue, backed by an independent panel of experts.

The proposal was jointly introduced and backed by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives, the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD), the pro-business Free Democrats and the Greens.

The far-right Alternative for Germany party also voted for the measure, https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2018-01-18/german-parliament-votes-to-step-up-fight-against-anti-semitism

However, notice the following news item from the same day:

18 January 2018

The Alternative for Germany party has introduced a bill aimed at permanently banning refugees from bringing their close relatives over from war-stricken countries. The move sparked a fiery debate in the Bundestag. http://www.dw.com/en/germanys-far-right-afd-targets-refugees-in-first-bill-before-parliament/a-42206338

The reality is that although the AfD is a small minority party, it reminds many people of Adolf Hitler’s party.

In September of last year, it gained 12.6% of the vote. While that does not seem like much, consider that Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; NSDAP) rose from obscurity to win 18.3 per cent of the vote and 107 parliamentary seats in the 1930 election when Germany had major economic problems. The AfD won 94 parliamentary seats.

The reasons that German voters gave suggest that many in Germany want a strong leader to stand up against crime, terrorism, and Islam.

The Bible shows that a militaristic leader called the Beast will arise and become militarily successful (Revelation 13:1-4). Germans will be comfortable, for a time again, with such a militarily successful leader.

And that will include not only those in Germany, but elsewhere. Austrians and others have issues with Islamic immigrants in Europe (see Austrian military wants to stop migrants as Central European nations face legal action for refusing Islamic migrants).

Adolf Hitler was actually Austrian-German.

The Bible teaches that there will be a unity problem with Europe:

41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. (Daniel 2:41-43)

It will take a strong leader to make Europe’s coming, temporary, unity stronger.

The Bible shows that the European beast leader, also called the King of the North, will arise promising peace.

21 And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue. 22 With the force of a flood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken, and also the prince of the covenant. 23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. (Daniel 11:21-23, NKJV)

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:25, KJV).

The Bible specifically shows that a reorganization will come to Europe and power will be given to that dictator:

12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)

(More on the reorganization is discussed in the article: Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?)

The “Beast” leader is the one who becomes the final King of the North (cf. Daniel 11:21-44).

(To prove this leader must be European, please watch the video: Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?)

He will push out Islam (cf. Daniel 11:40-43; cf. Revelation 13)!

The situation with Islamic migrants in Europe as well as issues with the USA will be factors in Europeans turning towards a dictatorial power.

While the AfD has its own problems, its rise is demonstrating that Germans are becoming less tolerant of Islam than many thought.

War is Coming Between Europeans and Arabs.

But, perhaps it should be noted that the Bible shows that particular war (Daniel 11:40-43) will come AFTER the Europeans successfully war against the USA and its Anglo-Saxon dominated allies (cf. Daniel 8:24-25; 11:39).

The rise of AfD reminds many of pre-WWII. We are getting closer and closer to WWIII.

While many are likely to denounce what the AfD leader said, the reality is that the situation with Islam and Europe will change–and Islam will NOT end up being the dominating power in Europe.

Nor, as some have inaccurately claimed (see Can the Final Antichrist be Islamic?), the world.
