Geert Wilders

[Aractus]

Why is Wilders so controversial? As far as I can tell he is just a right-wing politician who is anti-Islam, I do not understand why people think he's a monster? He wants the Quran banned and Muslim immigration halted.

I'm interested to hear what he has to say. We have more reason to be afraid of Islam than we do to be afraid of any other political or religious force that there is today. I wish there were more people who are willing to stand up against Islam - even if we don't agree with everything they say.

For the record I would very much like to see both Islam and Scientology banned in Australia. I don't hold the most "extreme" views that Wilders has, but I do believe that the appropriate response to an extreme problem is an extreme solution.

There is an animation in the footer of my blog, this is what it reads:

• "Scientology is evil; its techniques evil; its practice a serious threat to the community, medically, morally and socially; and its adherents are sadly deluded and often mentally ill.... [Scientology is] the world's largest organization of unqualified persons engaged in the practice of dangerous techniques which masquerade as mental therapy."
  -- Justice Andersen, Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia

I changed the religion from Islam to Judaism now feel with me;

1 We need to get rid of the palaces of hate, those horrible synagoues!!!
2 In Israel there's only room for Muslims. All Jews must leave Israel, including those in Tel Aviv.
3 There's a tsunami of jews in Europe.
4 Let's put a tax on those awful Kippahs.
5 Let's claim the streets back from the jews!
6 Netanyahu, the head of Jewish Apes.

Bring it on Aractus and I'll piss all your arguments away. Geert Wilders is horrible, emptyheaded, idiot.

Oh yeah. Remember, he's proposing this shit in our national Parliament.

He is not just anti islam, he is liked to idiots like the EDL , BNP, NF in the UK so has linked to known Far Right parties. The should be enough

[Something completely different]

Right wing parties in Europe always have one thing in common. They have a leaderfigure without whom the party falls into stagnation and the movement loses momentum for a very long period of time. Without Wilders, his party will collapse.

I do not understand why people think he's a monster? He wants the Quran banned and Muslim immigration halted.

IMO, those two things are enough to classify him as a "monster".

Wants a book banned? (Denial of freedom of speech / expression). Check.
Wants immigration filtered by religion? (Denial of freedom of religion). Check.

If not a monster, a complete asshole.

[Dee Dee Ramone]

He even dares to claim he fights for the freedom of speech but wants to forbid parts of a book. What a fucking idiot, please don't give him an exit-visa down-under.

[Aractus]

I didn't say I agree with him, but he has every right to speak his mind against Islam.

[Dee Dee Ramone]

he has every right to speak his mind against Islam.

Ofcourse.

Yet he is speaking against a subversive theology that would kill you for merely questioning its beliefs.

So is it wrong to be intolerant of the murderously intolerant?

Geert Wilders wants all Palestines to move to Jordan, including those in Gaza and Westbank. Now that sort of intolerance is a call for ethnic cleansing and a very subversive ideology in my opinion. He's no way a freedom fighter.
