My friend Douglas Murray has a great piece in the Telegraph on the Wilders case: “Geert Wilders: on trial for telling the truth,” January 28: […] The Dutch courts charge that Wilders ‘on multiple occasions, at least once, (each time) in public, orally, in writing or through images, intentionally offended a group of people, i.e. […]
Qur’an is on trial in the Wilders case
Oriana Fallaci also compared the Qur’an to Mein Kampf, as I wrote about in a 2005 article. The Wilders case could backfire badly on the smooth Islamic supremacist thugs of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, and their Dutch dhimmi puppets. They are hoping to silence criticism of Islam, and yet the trial could show […]
“If Geert Wilders is your last hope, then we have got bigger problems than Holland”
That’s not saying anything about Geert Wilders, who is one of the heroes of our age. It is saying something about the rest of us. The incomparable Kathy Shaidle spoke at a rally for Geert Wilders in Toronto last night, and called on all of us to become Geert Wilders. Precisely. Kudos. Excelsior.
Geert Wilders’s speech at his trial today
English translation: Mister Speaker, judges of the court, I would like to make use of my right to speak for a few minutes. Freedom is the most precious of all our attainments and the most vulnerable. People have devoted their lives to it and given their lives for it. Our freedom in this country is […]
Wilders: “If expressions reflect the truth, how could they be criminal?”
A report on the Wilders trial from Evelyn Markus in the Netherlands (thanks to Pamela): Geert wants to bring in 17 witnesses, from Holland, UK, Israel, and US, among them Wafa Sultan, Robert Spencer…, Afshin Ellian, Arabist Hans Jansen, Sheikh Al-Qaradawi (who put a fatwa on Wafa), Mohammed Bouyeri (who killed Theo van Gogh) and […]
Al-Jazeera proves Wilders’ point
Check out the photo that Al-Jazeera chose to accompany its article on the Wilders trial here (thanks to Elias). Could it be that maybe Wilders is not unjustified in sounding the alarm about the Islamization of Europe when Muslims demonstrate against him holding signs saying things like “Islam will be superior,” “Islam will dominate the […]
“According to Wilders, the truth about Islam must be made known, even if it is painful and unpleasant for certain people”
Yep. The Wilders trial is a showdown for free people, and for the free West. If he is convicted, the freedom of speech will not long endure in Europe, and America will be next. And the darkness of Islamic supremacism will continue to spread, and to subjugate women and non-Muslims, without it being possible to […]
Geert Wilders: “If a politician is not allowed to criticize an ideology anymore this means that we are lost, and it will lead to the end of our freedom”
Cartoon courtesy of Bosch Fawstin. Note the standard use below of the “far-right” epithet, which is mainstream media-speak for “frightens children, barks at other people’s dogs, and makes Cratchit work on Christmas.” Nonetheless, Wilders’ argument as quoted below ought to be compelling to any reasonable member of a free society. The prosecution of Wilders is […]
Steyn: Dutch court “is explicitly attempting to criminalize the political opinions of a large swath of the Dutch electorate”
Mark Steyn on the imminent prosecution of Geert Wilders in the Netherlands (thanks to the peerless Kathy Shaidle): …in the Netherlands and other European countries, the political elite understands that there are frictions between an ever more assertive Muslim population and an ever more resentful “native” working class, but that, with the usual careless confidence […]
Dutch rapper gets community service for threatening to behead Geert Wilders
Mosheb, the real hater Mosheb here once again reminds us that the real haters are those who arrayed against Geert Wilders, not Geert Wilders himself, although he is the one who faces trial for inciting hatred. All he did was depict Qur’an-inspired hatred and violence; people like Mosheb glory in that hatred and violence. “Dutch […]
