DUTCH MP GEERT WILDERS WARNS RADICAL ISLAM COULD ENGULF THE WHOLE OF EUROPE



From the wetlands of Holland a high tide of Islamic extremism threatens to wash over Britain and the rest of Europe. In the eye of the storm stands one brave man, the 44-year-old Dutch MP Geert Wilders.

The Dutch government is warning that his 'actions' have put countless lives at risk and plans are being drawn up to evacuate Dutch embassies around the world. Riot police are also on standby in Amsterdam and ordinary citizens are cancelling foreign holidays as they prepare for socio-political violence.

There have already been protests on the streets and by the goverments of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia. Many people will ask why the Indian sub-continent 'nations' are in uproar about the unfolding events in Holland?

But Wilders has committed the ultimate 'sin' of the modern age: He has spoken out against the Muslim faith. He has attacked the "tsunami of Islamisation" that he says is engulfing traditional Dutch society and from there could hit Britain and the rest of Europe. He has attacked the prophet Mohammed, saying that were he alive today he should be "tarred and feathered" and deported as an extremist.

Wilders has denounced the culture of political correctness that has seen immigrants given housing and benefits without even having to try to assimilate into Western culture. It is clear that Britain and Holland and have a great deal in common....

And he has criticised the Koran, a book he likens to Hitler's Mein Kampf, describing it as the cornerstone of a "fascist ideology" that aims to destroy all who oppose it. Wilders has also made a 15-minute movie. Called Fitna (Arabic for "strife"), it was broadcast on the internet for the first time on Thursday afternoon, prompting fears of a backlash against Dutch citizens of unprecedented proportions.

LiveLeak has already been forced to ban the 'movie' because of threats from Islamic extremists - another sign of the cravenly West caving in to Islamo-Fascism but Wilders remains unrepentant. Over the past few years the Right-wing MP has received many death threats and knows his life is in danger.

Nonetheless, he says: "If I were to moderate my voice, if I stop saying what I think, then the people who use undemocratic arguments like death threats would have won. So I will never stop, because if I moderate my voice, if I do not tell the truth according to me, then the people who use threats will win. I believe that in a democracy those people should never win."


Geert Wilders MP, a man of great courage

Opinions of Wilders are varied and on the Dutch liberal-left the Establishment seeks to discredit him as an over-ambitious, Right-wing, pro-Israeli politician who will do anything to gain popularity. It says his comments are so inflammatory that they have no place in a civilised society. But others insist he should be free to express his opinions and that those who seek to silence him are the real threat.

Current surveys show that many people agree with him. Where others have been cowed into silence, Wilders has given voice to the concerns of the masses. And, as Wilders has noted, those concerns are not unique to the Dutch - but are also boiling close to the surface in overcrowded Britain.

The sensitivities, mainly among Muslims, surrounding the film mean that even making it available on the web hasn't proved straightforward. When a preview from Fitna was placed on YouTube, the People's Portal, the authorities in Pakistan took the unprecedented step of blocking access to it. A chilling parallel is being drawn between China and Pakistan limiting access to certain types of 'information'.



And earlier this week in another act of sheer cowardice, the website on which Wilders had proposed showing the film was closed down by its internet service provider amid 'concerns' over its content. An yet again the undeterred Wilders vowed that he would personally hand out copies of it on DVD in Amsterdam.

In the end, he didn't have to, he posted the footage on LiveLeak, a British-based video-sharing website but this was removed after numerous threats to the staff at Liveleak. What this shows is that Radical Muslims can get their own way by making threats against those who disagree with them. And that is just the point Geert Wilders is making: Radical Islam silences all opposition and criticism at the point of the bomb and the AK47 armalite rifle. Not to mention beheadings, stonings, and other 'forms' of torture and mass murder.

Wilders, whose Freedom Party (PVV) holds nine seats in the 150-seat Dutch parliament, emphasises it is the ideology that he objects to and not Muslims per se and he has a serious point because not all Muslims are radicals. But he claims that increasing numbers of Muslims are taking an extremist stance and he does not believe that a "moderate" or "European" version of Islam will emerge for many thousands of years. "We cannot afford to wait," he says.

Wilders does not think that all cultures have a right to be treated equally, even branding Islamic culture "retarded". It is his view that the politically correct approach of Governments in Western Europe towards immigrants has failed. He wants the Dutch constitution rewritten so that the Koran can be outlawed in Holland, all immigration from Muslim countries halted, Muslim immigrants paid to leave and all Muslim "criminals" stripped of Dutch citizenship and sent "back to where they came from".

"We tried for many decades in Europe, we tried it the other way, to do it with dialogue and by accepting other cultures and by calling them our equal and by saying everything is all right," he says. "Dutch politicians allowed it to happen. They never said: 'Stop, this is our country, our values, we are the bosses, if you want to come here and stay here that is OK but only if you adhere to our values, to our principles and our laws." But certainly that is not happening in Holland, Britain or any other European nation, except Serbia.

"For all our tolerance, unfortunately we are also tolerant to the intolerant. We should learn to start being intolerant to the people who are intolerant to us. That is the best lesson for the Dutch government to learn." And, according to Wilders, it's not just the Dutch government who needs to learn this - other nations, Britain included, are "going in the wrong direction altogether. There is almost no country more politically correct than the UK," he has said.

"Look at the terrible things that happened in London after Madrid. You have more reason than most to make this debate transparent and public. As long as the political elite does not take the questions, the threats, the problems of large parts of their constituents seriously, I am very negative about the future."

The increasingly embattled Wilders set up the Freedom Party and attracted widespread publicity calling for a ban on the burqa. Friends say he is obsessed with politics, partly due to the extraordinary life he now has to live surrounded by six bodyguards, paid for by the State, he has received 600 death threats. Sometimes he and his wife have been moved into prison cells for their safety.

It is this last fact that surely shows that the Dutch, British and all Europeans are being held to ransom by the threat of Radical Islam. Their message is clear: "Oppose us and die."

The message trumpeted by Wilders and the PVV is one of freedom of speech for all Europeans and it is time we heeded the message!
