Like Geert Wilders I know that there are many decent Muslims. Like him I know that this is despite their adherence to a thoroughly pernicious ideology. This ideology called Islam drips with the most hideously repellant and violent homophobia, misogeny and intolerance. Like Wilders I believe that Islam, funded by the trilions we pay for petrol, is a very real threat to the hard fought for liberties and cohesion of the democratic West. We have allowed massive Muslim immigration making only token attempts to counter the accompanying importation of a supremascist ideology which is not just bad for its followers but poisonous for the rest of us.
Geert Wilders has said all this loud and clear to the Dutch many of whom are sick and tired of the complacancy of the established political parties. His party appears to be doing well in the polls and should make a reasonable showing in the Dutch Parliamentry or General Election next Wednesday 9th of June. I hope he does do well because contrary to the spin put out by the paid-off, the voluntary dhimmis and the Stalinists he is neither racist or right wing. He is simply saying that Islamic ideology is not compatible with what we should be very proud of but take too much for granted; our freedom of expression and democracy.
The trouble is that Geert Wilders goes too often too far over the top. He has suggested that the Koran should be banned and, although he later backtracked on it, that Muslim women should pay a " Rag Head Tax " of 1000 euros a year for wearing headscarves*. He shouldn't shoot himself in the foot like that for a bit of cheap but ultimately damaging publicity. I worry that he has in fact lost the plot because of this kind of behaviour and that next Wednesday his vote will collapse. Let's hope not because he is in the end on the side of the angels.
*When our blonde bouffon hairstyled hero made this suggestion in Parliament an MP got up to say that he should logically also then put a tax on peroxide. Fair comment and who ever said the Dutch didnt have much of a sense of humour!?
