Geert Wilders' persecution by Dutch authorities for telling the truth about Islam is starting to stir up support for him in Britain iand the U.S.
Two articles worth reading:
Melanie Phillips gives us the British view. Among other things, she quotes what Winston Churchill said in 1899 about Islam after extensive first hand exposure to Muslims in Africa:
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.
The American Thinker weighs in as well. It has a succinct take on the situation:
Islam has been eating away at the Netherlands for decades. Its sway is far out of proportion to its population. It demands special treatment and gets it. The government fears them, they know it, and exploit that fear at every turn. Influential Dutchmen who speak out against Muslim violence toward women, such as Theo Van Gogh or Pim Fortuyn are murdered in the street. Outspoken critics of Islam such as parliamentarian Ayan Hirsi Ali are hounded out of the country by a combination of intimidation and government cowardice.
And ordinary Americans are speaking out:
We are comfortable here in the United States. We are sheltered, isolated from the atrocities we see and hear about on T.V. and what we read about in newspapers or the Internet. It is easy to agree with something I know in my heart and mind is right and yet not act upon it, because I'm comfortable and it's the easier thing to do. I can't do it anymore. I won't do it anymore. Please watch the video. If you agree with what you've watched, please sign the petition in defense of Geert Wilders.
As we have reported earlier, Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders has been a lonely voice in a multicultural, politically correct society trembling with fear of its hostile Muslim immigrant population. (Our earlier reports on Wilders, three in number, are worth reading as well.)
If you missed it, here is Wilders' short (16:48), meticulously accurate film Fitna that brought the court's condemnation down on him. It's strong stuff, but aids understanding.
This is a man of courage.
