The misogynist, intolerant and violent ideology of Islam has suffered a major set back in Holland. Vying for first place nationally in the Dutch polls with the Christian Democrats, Wilders's Freedom Party in local elections a few days ago, put up only two candidates for maximum effect and minimum campaigning.They won in Almere near Amsterdam with 22% and came second in the Hague.The Christian Democrat government collapsed over Afghanistan a week ago and in June national elections are expected to result in a new coalition that will include the Freedom Party. Adios Sharia and Islamic bullying! Wilders has stated that Muslims have nothing to fear provided they abide by the laws of the land.
Whilst welcoming this triumph for secularism and civilisation, I think Wilders needs to row back from wanting the Koran banned. The Koran is replete with odious passages but let the people find these themselves and draw their own conclusions. Banning the Koran would be as daft as banning Mein Kampf. It would also allow Muslims to caste themselves in one of their favourite roles; that of the poor, misunderstood and persecuted victims.
