And he will be attacked from all sides for it. The Islamists will claim he's just hiding it; the VB crowd will attack him for not doing more to protect Europe against the Islamists. He's fighting the good fight.

Preach it, Geert!

He said that "Israel is our first line of defense [but] the war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming."

Damn straight.

He views the Muslim religion as a base for extremism. "The Koran calls for hatred, violence, submission, murder, and terrorism," he said in his speech at the Four Seasons Hotel. "Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a hereafter, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology…. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies… Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world' and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Koran."

Exactly right, Mr. Wilders. Those who would ally with fascists to defeat islamism have it exactly backwards. We do not defeat totalitarianism by replacing it with more of the same.

re: #8 Charles

That ain't the half of it. You got some folks (mohammedans against sharia comes to mind immediately) who want to take a BoxCutter blade to the koran and excise all the offending passages.

The anti Semitcism goes all the way back to Khalid the Mercant who morphed into Mohammad the wild & crazy Prophet.

I wanted to quote this again because I think Mr. Wilders is exactly right. To me, this is not so much a religious war as it is a war of ideologies. You simply cannot separate islam from politics. It's a fascist movement in the disguise of a religion. We cannot defeat a fascist movement by fighting it with a fascist movement. The only way to counter it is to defend and promote individual rights.

Islam is so obviously phony, with "Allah" miraculously always pronouncing that the decisions Mohammed made were "Allah"'s will.

Unfortunately, telling somebody their religion is wrong will not cause a false death cult to cease to be.

re: #69 Shay4l

That's right. It's a mindset and mindsets can change. We can't allow our societies to become self-perpetuating Sharia courts or there will be nothing left to help them to change their minds.

I just think it's funny that the whole thing was cribbed from the Jews. It's a half-assed amalgamation of barely understood Judaism with self-serving desert tribal warrior nonsense. It's like a Jewish guy hanging out with Mohammed one night tried to explain Judiasm to him, except Mohammed was drunk at the time, got a bunch of stuff wrong, and then the next morning (after the hangover wore off), figured he could make money doing his own thing a la L. Ron Hubbard. The epilepsy didn't hurt.

In my Saudi-funded high school class "Cultural Geography", there was absolutely no mention made of the connection between Judaism and Islam. None. Not even a hint. Only later do I read from genuine scholars that Islam and Christianity can both be considered offshoots of Judaism. That's obvious about Christianity, but they really bury that fact about Islam.

Hmm... I wonder why

Pessimists are horrible for morale. Ask any veteran. One of the things people really like about Sarah Palin is her irrepressible optimism and cheerfulness. I don't ever recall Hirsi Ali being a sniveller either, she has a steely nerved assessment of the situation without descending into despair.

And he's free to be the racist he wants to be. I, for one, am glad he's openly admitting it that we might all see just exactly what he is and what his blog is for.

But I disagree with him. Perhaps it's because I've known immigrants to be hard working contributors to my society, perhaps it's because I've worked with people of all sorts of backgrounds and ethnicities and found them to be not so very different than I. Perhaps it's because he see skin color as an issue and I see character as being the important factor. He fails to see this as an ideological battle, and that's why he'll remain fringe while those of us who want nothing to do with his ilk we carry on and make a difference.

Well said, Shar.

I couldn't agree more. I grew up with people whose families were from various different countries. I've had friends from all over the place and so have my husband and daughter. One of the main reasons my husband and I chose to raise our daughter in Toronto was because it is so multi-racial and multicultural (I know that's a bad word to some but it can be a good thing, too). We wanted her to grow up judging people by their characters and not by their physical appearance, clothing, accent, etc.

Years ago, a co-worker who was originally from another country told me she liked me because I treated everyone the same. I've never forgotten it, not because it was a compliment but because I was so shocked that not everyone was the same way.

re: #101 Josephine

UnAmerican is the mildest epithet that comes to mind. [self-censored]

I have never, in my life, thought or felt that way. It disgusts me.

It's like the way the BNP supporters categorize who is and isn't ethnically British. My Jewish cousins, whose families have lived in England for 200+ years, don't qualify but I do, even though my great-grandparents left 100 years ago.

People can control their actions. Skin, hair and eye colour and ethnicity or race are irrelevant to a person's character.

The way I see it, if you don't mind me jumping in here, is that you can't be ethnically British.

You can be ethnically English.

Brits of Pakistani descent are 100% British, but they are not English, they are Pakistani.

If I lived in Pakistan for 100 years, I still wouldn't be Pakistani, though I might have Pakistani citizenship.

That is the wonder of the US and Israel (Canada, too).

The day you get your citizenship you are American, Israeli or Canadian, regardless of your birthplace.

It all depends on how far back you go and whether you're also looking at genetics (if people want to get picky-picky). I think many people would be surprised at how non-pure-laine they are. (I have family members who "hate the French" but we're part French.)

"Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a hereafter, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology…. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies… Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world' and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Koran."

Yep, it's the politics and the ideologies embedded in the religion. The two must be separated like yolk from egg white if there is ever to be a modern reformation of Islam. It's going to be messy, take a hundred years, and eggs will be cracked...

The thing about Islam that the enablers do not accept, is that it is founded on the delusions of a psychopathic , pedophile.
In its present form , it can't be shoe horned into a modern society.
Islam will olnly try to destroy the host & convert what remains to their creed.

re: #160 Thanos

Several years ago doing some research, on the various Islamic websites was a very concise "marketing" plan to promote Islam and it was identical to that used by cults!

The only difference from a cult was they did not have a "living leader" though at the time --Al Qaeda sufficed as their hero.

Analysis: Stable Iraq could influence Mideast

Gee, d'ya think?

BAGHDAD - As violence in Iraq recedes, neighboring states are pondering how to deal with an unwieldy country that could re-emerge as a key player along with Saudi Arabia and Iran in one of the world's most strategic regions.

Still, countries of the Middle East cannot ignore the potential role of a resurgent Iraq, a nation of 28 million people, bordering Iran to the east, Syria and Jordan to the west and sitting on one of the world's major pools of oil.

For those reasons, the United States cannot afford to lose focus on Iraq, which will remain a strategic and important country even after the last of the 140,000 American soldiers have gone home.

Iraq is likely to play a significant role in America's Middle East policy for decades — even as the Pentagon scales down military operations here and ramps them up in Afghanistan.

Wow. Break out your very best flying pig folks... AP has just endorsed the cornerstone of the Bush administration foreign policy!

re: #65 Josephine

Interesting. The last time I visited their disreputable site, a year ago, the Baron swore he was in no way racist, that his followers were organizing against the jihad and that's why they were anti-foreigner. I pointed out the contradiction: not all jihadis are foreigners and not all foreigners are jihadists. As a citizen of Toronto, I know this from my daily life. As a man with 8 nationalities and 3 races in my family history I know it personally. I do not define "my kind" of person, as Baron does, in racial or ethnic or religious terms. I define "my kind" as anyone who shares my convictions as a citizen of a free and democratic society. They were not interested in debating those points and I knew from then they were nothing more than racists attempting to co-opt the anti-jihad movement to advance their sick ideology. Charles is right and courageous to take the firm stand he has.

France is a founding member but spent 50 years making us sorry she was. DeGaulle withdrew from the unified command structure, but not from the treaty and its obligations to respond, and kicked Nato HQ and troops off French soil. Sarkozy is moving to reintegrate with Nato military. Partly that is to turn Nato into the EU defense force with an American guarantee but Europeans calling the shots.

And no, Wilders should definitely not temper his rhetoric. His suggestion to ban the Koran was only intended to equate it to Mein Kampf, which is also banned.

Banning books never works. It's the old "forbidden fruit" principle at work. Partisans of the book's philosophy will simply say, "See, it's such powerful stuff that they banned it."

Banning possession of the koran would be like banning handguns; totally useless, since there's a zillion of 'em out there, anyway. But what we could do is outlaw the misuse of korans in preaching, just as the misuse of firearms to commit assault or murder is outlawed.

In other words: monitor the mosques, and if an imam is preaching the hateful passages from the koran without stressing that they are hateful and should be disregarded, then swoop down upon them and throw their sorry asses in jail.

Golly, yoch, I love you, man, but your writing style is just a tad telegraphic. AFAIK, Charles doesn't charge for caps or punctuation marks. :>)

Damn! That is sad news. My condolences to you and your family. The loss of a beloved pet is always a heart-breaker.

Again? Or is it the incident from a few days ago?

You'd have to have agents in the mosques too to prevent them from hosting the jihadi groups in private venues.

Good evening, Lizards.

I need some good thoughts.

Our dog was not herself yesterday, so I took her to the vet this morning. X-ray showed two inoperable masses.

My mom, boys, and I said goodbye at 4:30, and the boys stayed with her as she slipped away.

As you know, I'm a "cat person," but she was a terrific dog. Losing her is also closing a door on the memories of the past 10 years, and it's so hard.

((Goddess)) My most sincere condolences goddess. I had a pit-bull that lived 17 years (yes 17 people years). She was a very intelligent and loving dog. A genuine member of our family. I couldn't believe how much it broke my heart when she finally passed away. I wish I could say something to comfort you.
