An old ‘friend’ is back:

Dutch MP stirs anger in anti-Islam’pepper spray’ rally

The Hague (AFP) - Tensions over Europe’s migrant crisis bubbled over in a Dutch town Saturday as far-right politician Geert Wilders handed out fake pepper spray, saying women must defend themselves against Muslim men.

Wilders, whose Freedom Party (PVV) only holds 12 seats currently in the 150-seat Dutch lower house, has seen his popularity soar on the back of the bitter refugee debate fuelling his desire of becoming the next prime minister.

On Saturday following in the wake of the sexual attacks on women on New Year’s Eve in Cologne, Wilders used a rally in the western Dutch town of Spijkenisse to again push his blunt message against what he calls an “Islamic invasion.”

“We must close the borders,” Wilders said handing out fake pepper spray — which is illegal in the Netherlands — filled instead with red paint.

Women should be allowed to carry pepper spray, he said, to protect themselves against what he termed “Islamic testosterone bombs.”

How long till the Wilders-Trump meet-up?
