Millions of Muslims cause problems: Wilders

Monday 15 June 2009

All Muslims who cause problems in Europe should be stripped of their European nationality and deported, Dutch MP Geert Wilders said on Danish tv at the weekend.

'An enormous number of Muslims want a different society to the democracy we now have,' Wilders, leader of the anti-immigration party PVV, was quoted as saying. 'They are still a minority but as soon as they get stronger, they will change their tune and it will be too late to fight back.'

Muslims are responsible for most crime in both Denmark and the Netherlands, Wilders said. While law-abiding Muslims were welcome, 'if you commit a crime, if you start thinking about jihad or sharia, then it’s very clear, we will send you away, we will send you packing, we will strip you of the Dutch or Danish nationality,' he said. 'It is a red line. Abide by the rules, you are welcome to stay, and if you don’t we will send you away the same day.'

Asked how many Muslims Wilders thought were responsible for causing problems, Wilders said: 'Millions, tens of millions.'

Wilders wants a ban on all new Muslim immigration to Europe.

Generalisations

On Saturday, integration minister Eberhard van der Laan launched a strong attack on Wilders in the Parool, urging him to take part in a face to face debate. 'I have never been able to have a debate with him,' Van der Laan said. 'Sometimes I think 'come on sir, where are you?''

Van de Laan said he was still undecided about calls to back registering the ethnic origin of young offenders.

'The PVV wants to keep registering children's dual nationality, even those from totally integrated parents because you can take away someone's Dutch nationality if he has another,' the minister said.

'Then I realised, do I need to help set up an electronic databank which could be misused at a later date? I don't know about that,' he said.

Wilders, could you please take a lesson from Obama, just a little please? It is a good thing to be against extremist, be it muslim or christian or jew or whatever, but it is dead wrong to be against muslim as a whole.
actually wilders is a pathethic guy who bases his career with creating controversy.

Wilders is anything but pathetic - his intentions are nothing less than "evil", he is an example of a radical that has gone too far, akin to selling his soul.

What should be noticed in this article though is his hypocracy that is so easy to identify (and why he does not debate).

He has publically stated that he is not against Muslims but against the Qur'an which he conciders evil. Of course the Qur'an and Muslims are the one in the same, it is like saying Christians are fine but the Bible is not.... it does not work.

Thus when he says Muslims are welcome, if they behave themselves - but of course no more should come, which thus means 'not welcome'.

A third example of this hypocracy is that he refuses to discuss the subject of holocaust denial. Now why would he avoid it? That is simple, he has stated that "freedom of speech not matter what" is a core belief of his, thus he should support the right to denial of the holocaust, just as he says it is his right to defame, slander and misinterpretation of the Qur'an in his Fitna fiction. So why does he not say so? It is because he avoids that inevitable confrontation with the very friends and country that he pubically admires - Isreal. The land that he has visited over 14 times (official records) and has stayed in a Kabbutz and said that it is his second best prefered place of residence after Holland.

This is only three examples of the hypocrit Wilders is, an extremist leading a personality cult - not a real political movement, and with almost no agenda to give to the people except complain, twist facts, confuse and divide Dutch society.

Time for that trial Wilders, the loss of the right to be in parliament or politics and thus get your audience is the best punishment you could face - obscurity!

If Wilders is in favor of deporting Muslim citizens, who have not broken any Dutch laws, then you are no different than Her Hitler who deported and gassed millions of Jewish people because they were Jewish. If you support deporting terrorist, non-Dutch citizens, for crimes against the Dutch nation, then you are right. The Dutch, all of it's citizens, should live under one set of laws. When you start talking about deporting Dutch citizens, because of their religion, race, etc, you you become a terrorist and are no different. Mr. Wilders, you need to focus on making laws which keeps the Netherlands safe from extremists Muslims. You don't support the fight against terrorism by terrorising Dutch citizens of deportation. You punish the terrorists and those actively support them in their agenda. Clarify yourself before you lose focus and reality.

@ Solkhar I agree with you! So the dutch " grondwet art.1" excludes one religion hm interesting??? Has to be changed moslems are excluded terrible !

If all the moslims leave Holland the hole economie will collapse this people do pay there tax don't forget!
The country is getting mad!

There is no difference between a political doctrine & a religious doctrine. Because a religion claims god told them to flog adulterers, cut off thieves hands and slay pagans does not give then any more rights than rightwingers of the 'flog 'em and hang 'em' brigade. The Koran is just as evil as Mein Kampf in its persecution of women and religious minorities.
Providing Wilders is not a racist then he is right to denounce a homophobic misogynistic imperialistic religion.
Islam is no different from how christianity behaved in the middle agues. It's about time islam moved into the 21st century.

Firstly Wilders doesn't want to deport people who have committed no crimes -

But like France - if a Muslim immigrant thinks that one day they are going to bring the French legal and judicial system under Shari'a - then their application for citizenship will be revoked and they will be deported.

Shari'a law gives more rights to Muslims than non-Muslims (there is no nice way of putting it) and more rights to men than women.

Obama can't change that - and Europe can't sleepwalk into the same mess most of the Islamic world finds itself in.

Freedom of religion and rights for all - is a must - Shari'a would oppose this.
