Geert Wilders: 'No Racist Organizations Allowed'

World | Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 1:31:09 pm PDT

There’s at least one anti-jihad politician in Europe who refuses to join forces with fascists and white nationalists: Geert Wilders.

(IsraelNN.com) Dutch legislator Geert Wilders, producer of the movie Fitna exposing the Koran’s incitement to violence, announced that a “Facing Jihad Conference” will take place in Jerusalem in December. “We are organizing this event in Israel to emphasize the fact that we are all in the same boat together,” he said in a speech in New York.
 
Wilders’ 15-minute film earlier this year set off violent protests in Muslim countries because of the description of the Muslim prophet Mohammed as a murderer. He is teaming up with Knesset Member Prof. Aryeh Eldad (National Union) for the Jerusalem convention, where he vowed “no racist organizations will be allowed.”

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.

29 Sharmuta  10/03/08 1:43:23 pm reply quote
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.

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. What will they have left? Not much. Logic and reasoning plays no part in this. I understand where he's coming from, but you are correct - Banning books is really not a good idea.

The anti Semitcism goes all the way back to Khalid the Mercant who morphed into Mohammad the wild & crazy Prophet.
He was shunned by a camp of Jews who wisely thought that he was bad company. Worse, they refused to convert.
Muslims today hate Jews & many are not exactly sure why. Just lots of talking points.

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. One can only hope that the preponderance of evidence and exposure to the real world will eventually convince the adherents that their 7th Century founder was a charlatan at some point without untold millions having to die.

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.

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.

re: #93 Ben Hur

We should be translating the greatest works of Western Lit and philosophy into Arabic (since the great legion of un-educated religious leaders forbid doing so) and air drop them all over the Middle East.

I thought we might be able to paralyze their entire society with about a billion video iPods loaded with with porn, but your idea works better from an educational standpoint.

I know this is OT, but I just got an interesting email from someone whom I trust, although I've never met him other than on another blog. He sent me this question: Who is Joey Stanko - Biden’s “Average American” Gas-Pump Buddy?

Anybody? A google reveals something vewy, vewy interesting...

Do tell, enquiring minds want to know!

I believe you are correct , and they also have an interest in convincing people that things are about as bad as they could get. The glass is always more than half empty to these types.

We don't need to ban it.

Just print it on softer paper and the Koran will be of more use to infidels.

Two-ply, quilted, softer paper.

Please don't squeeze the Charmin Koran.

re: #81 HoosierHoops

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.

There is a lobbyist by the name of Joseph Stanko, but it's hard to tell is he is the Joey Stanko that Biden was speaking of.

Yes, go see it this weekend (opening weekend). It needs to have good numbers, to convince investors to fund more conservative films.

I'm going.

Here in Boulder, no mention of the movie in the "Friday" entertainment section of the newspaper. It isn't even showing anywhere in Boulder. I have to travel to nearby Louisville or Broomfield to see it. No matter, I'm going. If any CO lizard wants to join me. I'm going.

The name was Joey Danco, not Stanko. Several blogs have pulled posts and posted retractions already.

BEWARE!

The story has been disproven and has been retracted:
