		<description>Re-read the TEN POINTS.

All are perfectly reasonable except for the disappointingly limp-wristed reference to voluntary repatriations. Boot out all the tiresome preachers and the ten-percent of the U.K. prison population who claim to be Muslims; Libya or Chad would be delighted to welcome them all, I&#039;m sure.

Look, Sufis and Ismailis and Ahmedis are NO problem and nor are many of the others. Simply a brisk programme of expulsion, that&#039;s all!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;â€œjewish-christianâ€ culture â€“ yeah same thing that underpins Islamic culture..so fat lot of difference.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Rubbish.  The essential underpinning of Islamic culture is Bedouin banditry.  An enterprising warlord borrowed some notions from the neighboring &quot;jewish-christian&quot; milieu to inspire his followers with delusions of divine destiny, that&#039;s all.</description>

		<description>I was just looking up a few things about Geert Wilders on wikipedia and see he was born in the small city of Venlo which sits right on the German border.
I passed through it one evening in the mid 90s and the thing I remember most was that as soon as I pulled over to park, there were guys coming up to my car asking me if I wanted hash. I said no, but noticed there were quite a few of them standing about right in the midle of town (in the dark) calling out and signaling to passing cars. They were all of a north African or Turkish looking origin.
As small time drug dealers often are, they looked pretty untrustworthy and shifty. I wonder if resentment towards them from local people boosted support for Wilders&#039; party.

It&#039;s only a small place and because of its location, sufferd badly during the war. 
According to this wikipedia entry, they delt with the drugs tourist problem (as most of the buyers were Germans), by putting the coffee shops out on the edge of the city closer to the German border. A very Dutch solution.

		<description>is that what &quot;fucked up&quot; dutch society?  or actually that they have more in common with these &#039;immigrant&#039; counterparts in terms of being quite conservative in their view of &quot;their&quot; &#039;own&#039; culture.   I suppose that&#039;s what happens when so many &#039;my culture&#039; people find themselves in one state. 

they ought to try and become more cosmopolitan. 

&quot;jewish-christian&quot; culture - yeah same thing that underpins Islamic culture..so fat lot of difference. 

yes this man makes the BNP look cosmpolitan.  

he clearly needs to partake of some lovely green stuff at a cafe..where is the love?!</description>

		<description>Oh, and apparently there&#039;s a very real chance that Wilders could end up as  Prime Minister.

The Netherlands was once the most tolerant place on earth. But mass  immigration has really f*cked-up Dutch society.</description>

		<description>Wilders is a very brave man. The fact that he must live at secret addresses, under 24 hour protection vindicares his concerns about the growth of Islam in the West.

I agree, to some extent, with everything on his 10-point-plan except for &quot;the right to religious freedom should not apply to Islam.&quot;

Freedom of thought should apply to everything. But Islam should not be appeased or treated with &#039;respect&#039; just because it is a &#039;religion&#039;.</description>

		<description>I totally agree and support Mr. Wilders. Freedom of speech should be allowed up to a point. When people start to challenge democracy and support a religion which is both violent and opposed to democracy (don&#039;t give me all that coblers about islam being peaceful religion, the facts speak louder than words, the seeds have been sewn in more than the cases of terrorism) in a democratic country, a line needs to be set. Otherwise, freedom of speech and democracy could be easily removed by &#039;beating the system&#039; so-to-speak. Now I know that there is no way in hell that Europe would simply go &#039;silently into the night&#039; and get taken over by Islam (contary to recent opinions of scaremongers). It would give one heck of a fight, and is much more wealthier than it&#039;s opponents third world areas (with the exception of oil, which is rapidly running out) thus giving added help and protection to europe. Personally, I am not surprised by Mr Wilders growing support, it was only a matter of time before Europeans started getting fed up and frustrated. Look at the successes of the right-wing recently. Instead of actually working towards a solution in slowing the right wing growth, rapidly decreasing Liberal politics think that by simply calling people racist, the problem will go away (how on earth criticising a religion can be classed as racism is beyond me and a growing number of europeans (I also must point out that the majority of opposition and mockery made at Mr Wilders seems to come from muslims, whilst non muslim opposition appears to be declining)). More and more people are failing to be silenced by accusations of racism which bear no realistic grounds and is causing the word to be used so often, that in many cases it is no longer taken seriously (another example would be people throwing the word &#039;love&#039; around; the meaning has changed from say 50 years ago). Please don&#039;t think I am denying racism - it is out there, and it is a problem within todays society. Also, added support for Mr Wilders comes from the fact that over the past 15 years (since the Islamic terrorist Hijack of a french plane in 1994) a worrying number of atrocities and terrorism has occured in the name of islam. Why, if muslims claim they are so peacefull, has there not been a sizeable muslim outrage or clear opposition to what these so-called &#039;minority numbers&#039; of Islamic extremists are doing? Why? They have all had ample opportunity but you never do anything. Ok, there are small cases of clear outraged muslims which should not go un-noticed, but these are usually very small numbers of people, who are later reported to have suffered abuse and even threats for their opinions at the hands of other muslims. After all, when politicians such as Mr. Wilders dare to speak out against Islam, Muslims are outraged and expect non-muslim society to also be outraged (by saying they will riot, playing and milking the victim card, and denouncing supporters). Unfortunately, European muslims as a community have shown exactly what they think of western values and culture by constantly criticising it (do you think I could go to Saudi Arabia and criticise sharia law and islam...and get away with it?). Hence, why I sadly feel that the age of Liberal and tolerant Europe is rapidly coming to an end after only a short period of time (perhaps because multiculturalism happened too quickly?). This is more than evident by the rise of right wing politics (both extreme and non-extreme) and the growth of anti-islamic sentiment along with rising support for anti-islamic politicains. Added to the present economic downturn, the perfect environment has again been created for nationalism and right wing governments. Just how far Europe will lean right is currently un-predictable, however, time will tell. I sincerely hope history doesn&#039;t repeat itself.</description>
