Geert Wilders

Open your eyes, fools

European Union

How bad is it?

European Union foreign ministers condemned on Saturday a Dutch film that accuses the Koran of inciting violence, but said its author had a right to make it under the bloc's free speech principles.

So people still have the right to disagree with Islamic extremists, but our governments no longer do disagree.

Great.

Wilders' anti-Islam movie Fitna released

Anglosphere

Hurray for freedom of speech: Fitna has been released! And is it the hate-spreading, insulting, inappropriate movie people expected it to be?

No, not really. It simply joins loads of existing footage of NYC's 9/11, Madrid's March 11, London's 7/7 together with Koran texts and speeches. The ultimate message? The Islam seeks to conquer/control Europe. We stopped Nazi oppression in 1945, communist oppression in 1989.. now it's time to stop the Islamisation of Europe.

Well done, Geert Wilders. This movie is simply a strong and clear message and not at all insulting, unless you seriously believe not a single nation state or organised system is using the Islam to dominate others, or that such oppression is actually a good thing.

We need more than police

European Union

Terrorists declared jihad on the Netherlands. Wake up government, we are at war.

Dutch police now believe that the muder of film maker Theo van Gogh is part of a larger and coordinated action by radical Muslims to public figures that they feel are 'enemies of Islam.' As a result, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Geert Wilders, two politicians critical of Muslims, have been taken to a safe house by Dutch police.

Death threats were made by terrorists against Ms. Hirsi Ali, a former Muslim from Somalia who has been critical of Islam and Mr. Wilders who is a vocal opponent of Turkey's proposed membership in the European Union. The threats were made via telephone calls and on a five page letter attached to van Gogh's body by a knife.

The note claimed that Holland was controlled by Jews and called for Muslims to make jihad or holy war against infidels such as the Netherlands, the United States and specifically against Ms. Hirsi Ali. To her, it read, 'Since you stepped into the political arena in the Netherlands you have been constantly busy terrorising Muslims and Islam with your remarks. With your apostasy you have turned your back on truth and you are marching with the ranks of evil.'

The letter shocked many prominent politicians and government officials in Holland. Dutch Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner said, 'It is worrying because it gives the impression that it is not the message of an individual, but a wider organization.'
