What Wilders and his supporters are confronted with is a choice between evils and there is no resolution to this problem that will not be messy. Islam is Islam and the leftist nutcase multiculties are leftist nutcase multiculties. The Leftists and the Islamists are in bed together and the Leftists seem oblivious to the fact that they are going to be the ones who get f##ked in the end.

I too have problems with several of Wilders’ choices in this matter, but I will not condemn him for those choices. I am several thousand miles and a cultural gap away from his situation. I cannot possibly know what specific factors influenced those choices. I do, however, recognize that Europe is in danger and that the voices that are speaking out against that danger are under attack to the extent that they require constant protection.

We live a blessed, almost charmed, life in America. We are protected by two oceans. We have (at least for now) the greatest system of government in the history of human civilization and yet only an idiot could not recognize that all that we hold dear is under assault. Europe has been and will continue to be a major staging ground for that assault. We have to do something. We have to support someone.

This is going to be a long and dirty conflict and no one will emerge from it with clean hands. I hate it. I really hate it, but the only way out of it is through it.
