He was once refused entry to Britain. He has called for the Qur'an to be banned and has proposed a tax on wearing headscarves. And he is also the first politician ever to stand trial on charges of 'incitement to hatred'. Geert Wilders, instantly recognisable for his quiff of platinum blond hair, is one of Holland's most controversial and well-known politicians and, some argue, Europe's most dangerous man.
Bafta-winning filmmakers Mags Gavan and Joost van der Valk follow Wilders on his campaign trail during the recent Dutch elections, meet members of the international anti-Islamic network who support him, and find out about a conspiracy theory promoting the belief that Europe is being taken over by Islam.
With anti-Islamic, anti-immigration parties on the rise all over the European continent, why has Wilders, on the brink of real power in the Netherlands, become the poster boy for the far right?

"I have only just caught up with the BBC1 documentary on the Dutch politician Geert Wilders that was transmitted on Tuesday evening. Did I say documentary? ‘Europe’s Most Dangerous Man' was a vicious hatchet job that was a disgrace to journalism. More than that, it could be argued that by presenting Wilders as a latter-day Nazi who was likely to foment war in Europe between Muslims and non-Muslims, it was in effect inciting violence or the murder of a politician who is already under armed guard 24/7."
I have carefully watched the 4 videos, and so far, I found the Muslim speakers are the most reasonable, most intellectual. And they really understand what is going around them; what is being concocted.
ReplyDeleteI bet you all what I have that that Wilders does not no jackshit about Islam and has not even read one single page of the Qur'an. What puzzles me is most of people I've seen or talked to so far and who are anti-Muslims Never read a single page of the Qur'an. They are just recycling attitudes and parroting.
During the Fatimid time in Egypt, the country was ruled by Al-Hakim who prevented the Egyptians from doing certain things like eating scaleless fish (ex. cat fish) which is not KOSHER in the Jewish diet. No wonder the ruler's mother was a Jewess.
Why does it always have to be a Jew or a partial Jew?
I may sound anti-Semitic, but I am not, because what I mentioned is all historical facts.
TruthSeeker, you are aware of the backgrounds of the two 'most reasonable, most intellectual' speakers I assume? One of them was filmed by a Channel 4 documentary advocating the killing of Jews, adulterers, homosexuals and apostates and the other person is involved with an organisation that is classed as a terrorist group in many countries.
