Geert Wilders' speech in New York on February 23:
Thank you very much for inviting me. And – to the immigration authorities – thank you for letting me into this country. It is always a pleasure to cross a border without being sent back on the first plane.
Today, the dearest of our many freedoms is under attack all throughout Europe. Free speech is no longer a given. What we once considered a natural element of our existence, our birth right, is now something we once again have to battle for.
As you might know, I will be prosecuted, because of my film Fitna, my remarks regarding Islam, and my view concerning what some call a ‘religion of peace’. A few years from now, I might be a criminal.
Whether or not I end up in jail is not the most pressing issue; I gave up my freedom four years ago. I am under full-time police protection ever since. The real question is: will free speech be put behind bars? And the larger question for the West is: will we leave Europe’s children the values of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem, or the values of Mecca, Teheran and Gaza?
This is what video blogger Pat Condell said in one of his latest you tube appearances. He says: “If I talked about Muslims the way their holy book talks about me, I’d be arrested for hate speech.” Now, Mr Condell is a stand-up comedian, but in the video he is dead serious and the joke is on us. Hate speech will always be used against the people defending the West – in order to please and appease Muslims. They can say whatever they want: throw gays from apartment buildings, kill the Jews, slaughter the infidel, destroy Israel, jihad against the West...

He gave up his freedom long before any of us will.
bttt
Amen!
But our friends on the Left will.
Why should a foreigner have to remind us about keeping our freedoms? Why have we allowed the marxist left to redefine “freedom” as something that the govt gives you, instead of being a natural right of freemen?
Europe is doomed? Can America be far behind?
“Europe is doomed? Can America be far behind?”
America isn’t far behind IMO as long as we call those on the Left “Our Friends”. ;)

He gave up his freedom....
... so that we wouldn’t lose ours. A brave and good man standing up for what is right.
Ping/Film Fitna
Fitna should be seen by as many people as possible..
God bless you, Geert Wilders.
This happened in Europe because they did not speak up while they still had freedom to do so.
Let not Americans make the same mistake.
“Today, I come before you to warn of a great threat. It is called Islam. It poses as a religion, but its goals are very worldly: world domination, holy war, sharia law, the end of the separation of church and state, slavery of women, the end of democracy. It is NOT a religion, it is an political ideology. It demands your respect, but has no respect for you.
There might be moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam...”
