Geert Wilders
February 8, 2011
[Editor's note: the following is a speech by Geert Wilders' delivered at the resumption of his trial on February 7th, 2011. Wilders is charged with inciting hatred and discrimination by speaking the truth about Islam.]
The lights are going out all over Europe. All over the continent where our culture flourished and where man created freedom, prosperity and civilization. Everywhere the foundation of the West is under attack.
All over Europe the elites are acting as the protectors of an ideology that has been bent on destroying us since the fourteenth century. An ideology that has sprung from the desert and that can produce only deserts because it does not give people freedom. The Islamic Mozart, the Islamic Gerard Reve [a Dutch author], the Islamic Bill Gates; they do not exist because without freedom there is no creativity. The ideology of Islam is especially noted for killing and oppression and can only produce societies that are backward and impoverished. Surprisingly, the elites do not want to hear any criticism of this ideology.
My trial is not an isolated incident. Only fools believe it is. All over Europe multicultural elites are waging total war against their populations. Their goal is to continue the strategy of mass-immigration, which will ultimately result in an islamic Europe a Europe without freedom: Eurabia.
The lights are going out all over Europe. Anyone who thinks or speaks individually is at risk. Freedom loving citizens who criticize islam, or even merely suggest that there is a relationship between islam and crime or honour killing, must suffer and are threatened or criminalized. Those who speak the truth are in danger.
The lights are going out allover Europe. Everywhere the Orwellian thought police are at work, on the lookout for thought crimes everywhere, casting the populace back within the confines where it is allowed to think.
This trial is not about me. It is about something much greater. Freedom of speech is not the property of those who happen to belong to the elites of a country. It is an inalienable right, the birthright of our people. For centuries battles have been fought for it, and now it is being sacrificed to please a totalitarian ideology.
Future generations will look back at this trial and wonder who was right. Who defended freedom and who wanted to get rid of it.
The lights are going out all over Europe. Our freedom is being restricted everywhere, so I repeat what I said here last year:
It is not only the privilege, but also the duty of free people and hence also my duty as a member of the Dutch Parliament to speak out against any ideology that threatens freedom. Hence it is a right and a duty to speak the truth about the evil ideology that is called islam. I hope that freedom of speech will emerge triumphant from this trial. I hope not only that I shall be acquitted, but especially that freedom of speech will continue to exist in the Netherlands and in Europe.

The Islamic Mozart, the Islamic Gerard Reve [a Dutch author], the Islamic Bill Gates; they do not exist - because without freedom there is no creativity.
The ideology of Islam is especially noted for killing and oppression and can only produce societies that are backward and impoverished. Surprisingly, the elites do not want to hear any criticism of this ideology.
. . . . Disturbing, bone-chilling article. : (
Thanks, Fred Nerks.
Radical Islam is real Islam.
Moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse.
Once the low intensity guerrilla war gets going in Europe, Europe will take a hard turn and start deporting large segments of the Muslim population. Think about the movie V for Vendetta. Thats what will most likely happen.
Thanks Ernest! Geert Wilders ping.
If the leaders don’t take action, the people, i.e. your futbol hooligans, will, just wait and see!
If you don't hate liberal elites yet, you're NOT paying attention...
Thanks for a great post, smoothsailing.
Sending this around immediately! Wish it was on video, even if it were dubbed with English subtitles. Truth has no agenda, but the lies and deceits from Hell spewed in protection of the demonic religion of Islam are putrifacted with agenda. Satan wants all to bow to his rule ... and that will mean worshipping the father of lies a murderer from the start, just the sort of god Islam has, come to think of it!
I think we just might have/
If you remember this man's story, you ‘ll know he stands his ground, regardless of personal risk.
If you like the parliamentarian’s clip = you'll like these/
Enjoy. (At least, we have ONE man in DC who knows who the enemy is.

Below is my favorite West clip - it went viral on YouTube and now people know who he is...thank God he's in WAshington now...we need him in the pipeline to the WH.
While you watch this, think of this: he was not scheduled to speak this night but someone didn't show and they asked him if he would fill in = AND - NO teleprompters ;o)
I think the Brits are too accustomed to following the Left. They think the Left is for the people so if the left says riot, they riot. If the left says shut up and take it, they shut up and take it. The Left is working with the Muslims to enslave the Brits.
“At the same time, I think Wilders was stupid to claim that the ruling elite are “waging total war.” It’s a lazy claim — intended more to incite than to inform — and it’s probably not true.”
Actually, Wilders understands his target audience, who are the average Dutch, European, and American who are on the slumber and who are just now, beginning to awake.
His claims aren’t lazy at all, they are important clarion calls, yes, to wake up the citizenry to the evils of Radical Islam. It’s too late for the Radical Muslims are coming. They are among us. Rouse them...incite them...whatever the hell it takes...Wilders is on the money.
Please put me on the Geert Wilders ping list.
Thank you.
Not so. It's an incitement against an entirely different group: the "multicultural elites."
Wilders is fighting a different battle than you think he is -- he's really fighting against his political rivals. "Radical Islam" appears to be the club he's using to attack his political rivals.
And, as such battles usually go, it will most likely turn into a battle of personalities and therefore go nowhere.
Agree with your analysis.
“Wilders is fighting a different battle than you think he is — he’s really fighting against his political rivals. “Wilders is fighting a different battle than you think he is — he’s really fighting against his political rivals. Radical Islam” appears to be the club he’s using to attack his political rivals.”
To say he is not in a fight against Radical Islam is to deny reality.
Several Islamist groups have vowed to kill him for his verbal jousts with Radical Islam and Islam. People have actually been caught planning to kill him with grenades.
Your theory, while partially true, is also partially false.
Nope. To ignore what Wilders actually said, and the context in which he said it, is to deny reality.
I'm quite aware of Wilders' battle against Radical Islam. But this trial is not actually part of it.
