Dutch legislator Geert Wilders, a man that has stood up to Islam in the Netherlands and was an attendee at this past weekend's Muslim Art show where two jihadists were gunned down for trying to attack the event, has decided to respond to that jihad. He's forming his own Muhammad expo! That's right, he's not running. He's standing.
The UK Telegraph reports: Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders said on Wednesday he wanted to stage a parliamentary exhibition of the cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed that sparked a deadly shooting in Texas that left two dead. "I am going to request parliament to exhibit the same cartoons as those that were displayed in Garland," Mr Wilders told AFP on Wednesday, referring to the Dallas suburb where the shooting took place on Sunday.
Instead of going into hiding and cowering in fear because cowardly jihadists make threats, Wilders wants to put on the same event in his home country.
Wilders, 51, said, "I want to send a message that if you use violence to suppress free speech the only effect is that we'll do it even more. We must show we'll not be intimidated." "I don't want to provoke, but at the same time we must show that we're standing for freedom of speech," he added. Since coming to office in 2006, Wilders has been a lightning rod of controversy (but that's a good thing!). Just last September, following the Islamic State's advance through the Middle East at the funding of the US government, Wilders told ISIS supporters in the Netherlands, "If you are waving an ISIS flag, you are waving an exit ticket. Leave!" Wilders has also likened the Quran to Hitler's Mein Kampf and labeled it a "fascist" book. While many have run from Pamela Geller in the wake of the jihad attack this past Sunday, including professed conservatives, Wilders realizes that unless America does something to stop the spread of the disease known as Islam, it will engulf the US as it has Europe.
"I always said that what has happened in Europe will also happen in America if you don't stop Islam," Wilders said in a Fox News interview on Tuesday. He predicted there would be more terrorist actions like the Garland attack on U.S. soil: "I fear you haven't seen anything yet."
He also added that giving even more publicity to the cartoons – which many in the Muslim community deem offensive – is the best way to stand up to the terror threat. Wilders has been targeted by Muslim Congressmen Andre Carson and Keith Ellison as they have requested that Barack Obama ban him from the US. While Wilders encourages Americans not to stand down against the attack on freedom of speech in America and submit to the Shariah, he is currently facing prosecution in the Netherlands for simply vowing to ensure that fewer Moroccans were allowed in the Netherlands. He asked those of his party in The Hague is they wanted fewer or more Moroccans in their city and in the Netherlands. Backing him, the crowd shouted that they wanted fewer. "We're going to organize that," he told them. There is no doubt that cowardly Islamic jihadists will issue their fatwas for Mr. Wilders in the same depraved manner they did for Pamela Geller, and they will be backed openly by Islamic imams like Anjem Choudary. What is it going to take for people to wake up to what Islam is and what its goals are? Must the people of America have their heads sawed off like those throughout the Middle East? Must they have their wives and children taken as slaves for the followers of Muhammad? Must we endure the Shariah here in the same manner that the UK is facing it? Time will tell, but as for Mr. Wilders, I wish him well in his endeavors and hope he is successful. UPDATE: Word is that an event in Florida scheduled for August, which was to host Geert Wilders, has been canceled because the hosts were more cowardly than Islamic jihadists.
Brave guy. He’s putting the only life he gets on the line to save the west.
Uh, 9/11 happened in America and should have been enough reason to deport all mozlems and prohibit immigration from all mozlem countries.
Instead we elected a mozlem as POTUS twice and are bringing in record numbers of mozlems.
Those responsible for this treason must be held to account and are responsible for any additional attacks by these subhuman animals that occur on US soil.
“I don’t want to provoke, but at the same time we must show that we’re standing for freedom of speech,”
More than that, Freedom of Speech means having the right to say things people find distasteful or blasphemous AND that those offended people do not have a right, implied or explicit, to resort to violence as a response.
Meaning, when Christians get upset at “Piss Christ they are not allowed to blow up the art exhibit and when Muskims get upset at “Draw Muhammed Day” thy are not allowed to blow that up either.
It can’t be “Christians have to take it but well, We expect violence out of Muslims so that’s ok”. Or the really condescending “Well, they shouldn’t resort to violence but what did you expect?” Tacit Acceptance

I actually like "W" but he was wrong that time.
Now islam has imbedded itself in American liberals.
We recognize the enemy and must define it clearly this time.
Pamela Geller and Geert and doing this for us and we must respond with our full support.
May the Lord bless and keep safe Geert Wilders.
Please continue to speak out, Mr. Wilders. So many of our leaders have already passed into dhimmitude for all practical purposes.
muslims around the world celebrated 911, praising allah, dancing in the streets and passing out candy.
You can bet our moderate muslims did the same thing behind closed doors.
Islamists are a lot of things, but they are not cowards.
They die for what they believe...and that isn't cowardice.
It is very important that we know our enemy.
Can I ask a perhaps stupid question? Why do Moroccans go to Netherlands? Morocco’s colonial relationships were with France and Spain.
Why Netherlands, which had nothing at all to do with Morocco?
Sorry, but in the 7th and 8th centuries that’s pretty much how all armies behaved. Muslim armies advanced because they were better fighters, better motivated, etc. Not because they were more brutal.
Today, of course, things are somewhat different.
I live in FL. FWIW I'm willing to show up and provide free armed security for such an event.
Thanks. I’ve had a lot of arguments about this issue.
We consider courage a virtue, so we’re unwilling to recognize they have any virtues at all.
But I’m with you. Anyone willing to blow himself up for a cause may be many things, but he is most certainly not a coward.
This probably arises out of the idiotic notion that bullies are always cowards. They often are, but by no means always. For instance, the Waffen SS has been accused of many things, usually accurately, but never of cowardice.
The world would be a much safer place if bullies really were always cowards.
I have stated here on FR that every mosque is an enemy fortress and those who congregate there are, therefore, enemy combatants and should be treated as such. When courage returns to America, all of those mosques can be re-purposed as detention centers to rid the Republic of this cancer.
It is nice and convenient to believe that bullies are cowards, but sometimes they are just sadists.
They can be backed down but only strategically (particularly in the case of islam).
I am still studying the situation (as we all are) but I am leaning to the idea that islam must be exposed to the Truth to be eradicated.
Islam is demonic and nothing short of an exorcism is going to work. IMHO.
The event was cancelled. It was at some country club.
When they don’t back down, they can, conveniently, be killed.
Pamela Geller and Geert Wilders can help with that.
We bait them with cartoons and then shoot them when they appear.
Unfortunately, we will eventually have to deal with the "religion" itself.
It won't just disappear on its on.
