Muslim fit over ‘Fitna’
For an American politician to address the subject of the national identity and the future of liberal institutions under the current immigration laissez faire is to risk being labeled The Worst Person in the World by MSNBC Doberman, Keith Olbermann.
Prosecution may well follow persecution. As part of his platform, Barack Hussein Obama has also promised to expand the so-called hate crimes statutes, which could result in the criminalization of speech and the prosecution of people for naturally licit actions – for speaking their minds.
Across the pond, in the Netherlands, the sizeable Muslim population (6 percent and growing) has forced the national question to the forefront. The champion of freedom of speech, who regularly storms the ramparts of a decaying, liberal, political establishment, is lawmaker Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom.
…
The Dutch want to hear Wilders’ message. According to Dutch pollster Maurice de Hond, Wilders “has the most loyal following of all political parties in the Lower House.” The Party for Freedom is the fifth-largest party in the Dutch Parliament, and the third-largest opposition party.
As Wilders knows too well, one of the defining issues of our times is speaking and publishing under the threat of death – death by Muslim migrants. A vexation the West has invited. Those who’ve been following the latest installment in the saga know that Wilders released a film: “Fitna.”
“Fitna” is unremarkable; it’s your basic primer to Islam. The Quran commands the faithful to kill the kafir. Wilders excerpts these Quranic commandments, and shows Muslim believers articulating and acting on them.
Wilders could have easily been neutralized had Muslims across the West, and their puppy-dog proxies, allowed the screening of “Fitna,” and adopted a Western, live-and-let-live stance toward this tradition of benign protest.
But no: Predictably, at least from a cursory reading of the Quran, Muslims went berserk. By so doing, they proved Wilders right: Islam and its fervent adherents are a danger to men and women yearning to breathe free.
Read the rest.

Geert Wilders is dead to me…..
Security upped at anti-Jihad conference following alert
It’s all over folks. The counter-Jihad movement is gone.
Killgore you were never part of it.
re: #299 Occasional Reader
It’s a bummer but I suspect it was bound to happen. Maybe this is just the inevitable conclusion. I wish things had gone differently but it seems that the counter-Jihad movement has devolved into racism. It’s a real shame but there’s not much that can be done about it.
Being against Islam make you racist in Killgore’s view.
re: #310Killgore Trout
Let us be honest- they are not counter-jihad. They are anti-islam.
So Islam is good thing, Sharmuta?
For those of you who missed it I noticed this comment about the conference in Jerusalem at Jihad Watch earlier this morning……
It’s done.
LGF has done damage by silencing those who really oppose Islam and not the Bushbot/Leftist view of Islam.
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. Europe never did grasp the concepts we have here in America that allows our immigrants to assimilate. They just didn’t have the historical background America did in the matter. Quite easy for them to slip into their centuries old blood and soil.
We in America never had an aristocracy or nobility like europe’s. Anyone can come here and become an American. They just don’t have the background needed to understand the beautiful simplicity of an ideology based on individual rights.
They want their tiered societies with aristocrats and plebes. They had to find new plebes- they just didn’t realize what the drawbacks would be. Now they’re finding out the hard way. They’ll never get it.
I bet if it was Hispanics immigrating to Europe, they wouldn’t have these issues. Sharmuta believes Islam can be assimilated. She’s naive and like Killgore an ally of Islamo-Fascism.
I am just completely disgusted. If it were not for Charles and LGF, it’s unlikely I would have learned about islam at all- yet these assholes who either are racists or want to give racists a pass are denigrating him after all the help and support he gave them throughout the years. They should be ASHAMED!
Charles has done more good than those people could ever dream of doing themselves.
Delusions of Grandeur!
(Update)
Sharmuta throws down a challenge!
re: #438MandyManners
You realize I will be called a butt kisser for that comment. I hope the lurking haters know it’s a badge of pride to be called names by the likes of them.
Bring it assholes! Call me names, tell me I’m the problem. Rant everyday about Killgore and Walter and Nana. We’re not going to shut up. We’re going to keep exposing you and your vile friends.
We are scared Sharmuta!
