Dutch court rejects Wilders push to remove biased judge in Stalinist show trial

By

The railroading of Wilders proceeds apace. An update on this story. “Dutch Court Rejects Wilders Push to Change Judges at Muslim-Insult Trial,” by Jurjen van de Pol for Bloomberg, October 5 (thanks to all who sent this in): The Amsterdam district court rejected a request by Freedom Party Leader Geert Wilders, who is on trial […]

Spencer: Truth On Trial

By

In FrontPage today I discuss the Wilders trial: How imperiled is the freedom of speech? Take this passage from Slate magazine: “In 2004, filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered after making anti-Muslim remarks, as was the anti-immigrant politician Pim Fortuyn in 2002. Why is there so much anti-Muslim rhetoric in the Netherlands?” If Slate flipped […]

U.K.’s Telegraph: “Geert Wilders’ trial suspended after he attacks judge!” Wait… what?

By

The Telegraph is usually better than this, and does a great deal of useful reporting on stories related to the Islamization of Britain. But the choice of words to describe Wilders’ demand that a biased judge be replaced is so very ironic here, considering that his own life is in danger over words and a […]

Muslim cleric misunderstands Islam, calls for beheading of Wilders

By

Watch for the cascade of statements from moderate Muslim leaders denouncing Feiz Muhammad and declaring that while they might not like what Wilders says, they will defend to the death his right to say it. Honest Ibe? Brave Ahmed? Mr. Al-Marayati? Mr. Ahmed? Ms. Mattson? Ms. Lekovic? Anyone? Anyone? “Muslim cleric calls for beheading of […]

Dutch government helping pay for Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero — with Dutch taxpayer money

By

Yes, you read that right. And Wilders, only Wilders, is standing up to this breathtaking short-sighted idiocy: “‘Netherlands Subsidising Mosque by Ground Zero,’” from NIS News, July 21 (thanks to Fjordman): AMSTERDAM, 21/07/10 – The Party for Freedom (PVV) is demanding clarification by the Dutch government regarding reports that the Netherlands is co-financing the construction […]

Why is Geert Wilders “anti-Islam,” and what is his message to the Muslims?

By

Freedom fighter Geert Wilders makes an important and illuminating statement at MuslimsDebate.com: “Muslims Debate asked Mr. Geert Wilders why he became anti-Islam and what is his message to the Muslims?” I first visited an Islamic country in 1982. I was 18 years old and had traveled with a Dutch friend from Eilat in Israel to […]

We must no longer treat journalists as if they were objective reporters when they are ideologues and propagandists

By

You know who I mean: Dave Weigel, Michael Kruse, Meredith Heagney, S.I. Rosenbaum — the list goes on and on and on. Over at FrontPage I’m in a Symposium, “The Fear that Wilders is Right.” Here’s an excerpt: Spencer: It is indeed, as Roger Simon, a global psy-war, and it is by no means over. […]

Anti-free speech proceedings against Geert Wilders to resume in October

By

These are indeed criminal proceedings, but the criminals are those who are putting Wilders on trial. From the excellent Wilders On Trial site: Criminal proceedings to resume in October 2010 The criminal proceedings against Geert Wilders will continue in October of this year. The dates of absence of the people involved in the proceedings prevent […]

Geller: “Was Beck saying that standing up to defend the ‘equality of men and women, the equality of homosexuals and heterosexuals, the separation of church and state’ and ‘freedom of speech’ is fascist?”

By

In “Glenn Beck, Think Before You Preach” in Human Events today, Pamela Geller calls out Glenn Beck for smearing Geert Wilders: Something very disturbing happened last Monday on FOX. Glenn Beck, who has, for the most part, steered clear of jihad, sharia and Islamic supremacism, put his toe in the water, and for the first […]

Fitzgerald: Geert Wilders Takes On The High and Mighty Dutch Lords (Den Hooge Ende Moogende Heeren) Of Misrule

By

Isn’t it amusing how the press will cover a story, and so often, when it comes to anything having to do with “Islam, Responses To,” fail to grasp the most important thing. The papers have been full, the last weeks, of various stories. In Afghanistan, it has been about the war in Marja, the war […]

Jihad enablers scuffle with police outside Wilders address at House of Lords

By

Who is the racist? Who is the fascist? Who is trying to shut down debate and dissent by force — attacking police and pro-Wilders demonstrators, and prosecuting Wilders in his own country — and who is standing for free speech and human rights? “Dutch anti-Islam politician creates stir in UK,” by Raphael G. Satter and […]
