Wilders stands up against a symbol of Islamic supremacism and subjugation of women. Read the comments at the Dutch News site, comparing him to Hitler — and then remember that it is the coreligionists of the headscarf wearers who are breathing threats and murder against others, boasting about how they are going to take over, threatening bomb attacks (and carrying some of them out), etc. The world is upside down when a man who is determined to stop the advance of all that in the name of freedom and democracy is smeared as a Nazi by those who are enabling it to happen.
We will prevail, the truth will prevail, the human spirit will prevail, but it will be a long hard fight. Eye of the tiger, baby.
“Wilders goes for headscarf ban in the Hague,” from Dutch News, February 26 (thanks to Twostellas):
A ban on headscarves for city council workers and in all institutions and clubs which get local authority money will be the most important point in the PVV´s negotiations to join governing coalitions in Almere and the Hague, says party leader Geert Wilders.
Speaking to RTL news, Wilders said the ban would be central to talks to form new local authority executives in the only two cities where the party is contesting the March 3 local elections.
The ban will apply to ‘all council offices and all other institutions and clubs which get even one cent of council money,’ he said.
The PVV is tipped to emerge as the biggest party in Almere and second biggest in the Hague.
Speech
Wilders brought up the ban again in a speech to supporters in Almere, where he entered the room to the Rocky theme tune Eye of the Tiger.
The ban will not apply to other religious items such as Christian crosses and Jewish skull caps because these are symbols of our own Dutch culture, Wilders said in his speech, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd.
The speech began with a ‘lengthy tirade’ against the ‘arrogant Labour party’, according to the Volkskrant report of the meeting. ‘If you translate the PvdA’s Arabic language election brochures they say ‘bring your family here. You get benefits, we pay for everything’, the Volkskrant quoted the PVV leader as saying.
‘Almere must become the safest city in the Netherlands,’ he said. ‘There will be an end to subsidies for Turkish macramé and Arabic finger painting. Not just the Netherlands but all of Europe will look to Almere.’…
