Brave men Marked for death

 
It is ten years today since the Dutch Politician Pim Fortuyn, who opposed multiculturalism, mass immigration, and in particular the surging Islamification of Europe, which he described as "an extraordinary threat", was assassinated for his beliefs by a killer who accused him of “targeting Muslims

Two years later in 2004 the film maker Theo van Gogh  was murdered by a Muslim in revenge for making a film, “Submission” focusing on the mistreatment of women in Islam.

One further Dutch opponent of Islam, Geert Wilders, remains alive, but only because he is forced to live behind a ring of steel, protected 24 hours a day by armed policemen. Writing in the Washington Times regarding his book “Marked for Death” Geert Wilders describes his existence as thus
"As I write these lines, there are police bodyguards at the door. No visitor can enter my office without passing through several security checks and metal detectors. I have been marked for death. I am forced to live in a heavily protected safe house. Every morning, I am driven to my office in the Dutch Parliament building in an armored car with sirens and flashing blue lights. When I go out, I am surrounded, as I have been for the past seven years, by plain clothes police officers. When I speak in public, I wear a bulletproof jacket.

Who am I? I am neither a king nor a president, nor even a government minister; I am just a simple politician in the Netherlands. But because I speak out against expanding Islamic influence in Europe, I have been marked for death. If you criticize Islam, this is the risk you run. That is why so few politicians dare to tell the truth about the greatest threat to our liberties today. The Islamic threat to the West is worse than the communist threat ever was. Think of it this way: Politicians who warned against the Soviet threat weren’t forced into hiding, as we who speak out against Islam are.
Howver, despite this Wilders ends the article by saying: 
"Though Islam threatens Europe and America, the West is not yet lost. It will survive as long as the spirit of freedom remains unbroken. While Islam has marked me for death, a growing number of Dutch voters have given me their support. In the Netherlands, we have begun to turn the tide against Islamization. So can other countries.

I will never keep silent because we must not let violent fanatics dictate what we say and what we read. We must rebel against their suffocating rules and demands at every turn. We must, in the words of Revolutionary War veteran Gen. John Stark, “Live free or die.”
Would that we in Britain had such brave men as Wilders, or indeed the late Pim Fortuyn and Theo Van Gogh, fighting for us.
A review of Marked for death can be read here 

Note: Wilders is frequently attacked by Nationalists on account of his support for Israel, such attacks are wrong headed, this brave man is nobody's puppet.  He correctly identifies Islam as the greatest threat currently facing the west and valiantly stands, almost alone, against it.

Am I correct in recalling that the British Government denied Geert Wilders entry into the UK to deliver a speech at either Oxford or Cambridge universities?

He was deemed to be a radical-right-wing-racist-fascist-neo nazi-white-supremacist focussed on spreading hate speech which would undermine the diverse and enriching multi-culturist society being promoted by the lunatic left.

You are correct Laager, he was banned from entering Britain. However, he later managed to get the ban overturned.

I'm running a dedicated page to "White Martyrs" which includes the threats, assaults and murders of Nationalists like Geert Wilders, Pim Fortuyn, Tommy Robinson etc. There's a fascinating hour-long Youtube documentary about the assassination of Pim Fortuyn there.

Unfortunately we in the UK have no politician to compare with Geert Wilders. We are saddled with the likes of Simon Hughes ... God help us
Here is the man in action:

While I agree with the other two chaps being brave defenders of Western civilization, this Wilders I don't care for, as you most likely are already aware of, he lived on a Kibbutz, and, according to reports, has Jewish blood.
He has not suffered the fate of the others...I don't trust him nor those whose blood he shares.

"He correctly identifies Islam as the greatest threat currently facing the west and valiantly stands, almost alone, against it."

Is it the theology of these people that you feel threatened by or is it their race/ethnicity?

I mention that because in America our greatest threat is not the theology of Islam but rather hordes of invaders who are CHRISTIANS, from Africa, the Carribean, Latin America and Asia, as well as Hindus and Buddhists, Confucianists and animists from Asia and I'm sure a good supply of Atheists as well. Our "homegrown" attackers are also, almost without exception, Christian by religious faith. Check out newnation.org for examples. I do feel that the USA is a part of "Western Civilization" would you not agree Miss Sarah? I feel biology trumps theology in these matters.

I do not enjoy disagreeing with someone as kind and good and decent a person as yourself however I just had to add a divergent opinion.

I wish you well and continued writing excellence.

I live just a few miles south of Venlo where Geert comes from, in the last election he was pulling about 30% of the votes here in Limburg and the % has not changed, and there is a very good chance that he will get a few more seats in the Parliament in the elections in September. He still gets a lot of flak but he swats it away with a sense of contempt and his debates in the Parliament are a pleasure to watch, he does not pull his punches. The interesting thing is that the VVD and the CDA parties have stopped critizing him when his party the PVV was supporting them in the Government and they have not taken up the cudgel against him since he has brought them down. They know that the PVV because of its popularity will hold the balance of power in the next election and they are in no hurry to piss him off the same goes for many of the other parties. The left keeps having a go now and again. They have been spreading a rumour that he was emigrating too the USA since he has gone there to publicize his book but anybody who knows him realizes it is not true and is only wishful thinking on there part, that really is the rub and it shows how desperate they are getting.They also don't want to piss him off too far because coalition governments can get quiet weird here in the Nederlands. Things will of course change as it gets nearer the election which is in Sept. If Pim Fortuyn had still been alive we would have been much farther along he was a brilliant debater and could get away with a hell of a lot more. I can remember once when he was on TV somebody accused him of hating Moroccans to which he replied certainly not I shared my bed with some very nice ones.

It is worth noting that the only nationalists that thrive have Israeli backing. Wilders is a brave man, but I suspect he wouldn't be so brave without his powerful friends. For a start, they don't allow uncontrolled opposition. Islam is a symptom of the ailments of the west - not the disease itself.
Focus on the symptom and the diease goes on unchallenged.

The 'far right' is so divided because of the power of the opposition.The entire establishment. including the church is riven with anti nationalist sentiment andthose who do see the wood amongst the trees are moral cowards.

Who the hell cares, he has more balls than you. What have you ever done for the protection of Europe?
