A few months ago, the British government denied entry to Geert Wilders, the Dutch parliamentarian, who was scheduled to show his 15-minute film about Islam, Fitna, which intersperses selected excerpts from the Koran with clips showing violent acts by radical Islamists. Nazir Ahmed, a Muslim member of the House of Lords who was born in Pakistan, raised a hue and cry. The British Foreign Ministry collapsed and kicked Wilders out as soon as he got off the plane. He was, the British border agency said, a threat to harmony and public security.

Laughable, yes. But now, the French may join the campaign against Wilders. The French Association for The Defense of Human Rights wants French authorities to prosecute Wilders for “hate speech.” AEDH cites a speech he gave at the Hudson Institute in New York in September, which was part of Wilders’ truth-telling crime spree. If convicted, Wilders could face a year in prison.

The French have long been prosecuting those who speak against Islamic hegemony. Over the last 12 years, Brigitte Bardot, the sex siren and screen actress, has been convicted five times for “inciting racial hatred” and paid ten of thousands of dollars in fines for opposing Islam’s march over France.
 
Wilder’s "hate speech"? “Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods,” he said. “Many neighbourhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves.” He also called the Muslim riots that sent France up in flames in 2005 a “Muslim intifada.” Citing a Pew Center survey, he said French Muslims support suicide bombing.

Just for the record, here are a few more of his remarks: “There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe.... And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.” Amsterdam, Marseille, and Malmo are 25-percent Islamic, he reported and “in many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim.” The school systems in Europe are changing to accommodate Muslim sensibilities, and “the history of the Holocaust can in many cases no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity. In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system.” How bad is the problem? “A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.”

A Muslim lawyer for the AEDH explained why Wilders must be silenced: “A politician may express his idea. But Wilders makes dangerous statements about something of which he has no understanding. These are not political ideas, but insults and prejudices.”

The only thing “dangerous” about Wilders is that he tells the truth about radical Islamists and their crimes. Not least of them was the murder of film director Theo Van Gogh in Amsterdam because he made a 10-minute film called Submission, which documents Islam’s inherent and Koranically-sanctioned misogyny. The woman who made the film with him, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, is also under the threat of death. Wilders himself lives under 24-hour guard for fear of the same penalty.

How the French would arrest a Dutch parliamentarian for “hate speech” is rather an amusing question. But Wilders’ cry in the wilderness isn’t amusing at all: Europe is dying.

A day of rage We need a day of rage. I suggest this Saturday be a day to show your feeling about the Islamization of the West. See Below As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not Muslims, and to demonstrate they think its okay to see nude women other than their wife, and to show support for all American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your Anti-Muslim sentiment. The American government appreciates y our efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity. It is your patriotic duty to pass this on. If you don't send this to at least 5 people you're a terrorist sympathizing lily-livered coward and are in the position of posing as a national threat! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.

	... This is not just a European problem anymore. The constant appeasement to the Muslims is widely practiced by politicians and media. Recently there was a beheading in the USA (near Boston I think)and the silence from the media was absolutely deafening. It is beyond me how one can stick his head in the sand and ignore acts like this from the "religion of peace". If we keep this up we are doomed.

We are really doomed.... Unfortunately the New World Order types could care less for the Christian west because it is a block in their way of their satanic goals of a One World State where everyone is a slave of the State. Islam only helps them eliminate those "pesky Christians" What Western Europe needs is a massive protest by it's people that will turn out their increasingly toltolitarain governments and those who would foist their religion by the sword on Europe need to either be expelled or executed.
