This is an important thread and discussion. If the mainstream European political parties are unable to address the threat of radical islam, then other leaders and parties will come forward. I have listened to Wilders presentations. The the part about banning the Koran (and, by extension, Islam) sounds foolish and I expect he will abandon this theme over time and take a more rational position. Which position would be that there is moderate islam and radical islam and the adherents of radical islam ideology must be confronted and deported from western countries. My working definition of radical islamist is those muslims want to institute sharia law for the host countries muslims or who adocate violent jihad as a way to settle international disputes.
