Dutch politician Geert Wilders outdoes the BNP

[JimmyJazz]

1. Stop cultural relativism. We need an article in our constitutions that lays down that we have a Jewish-Christian and humanism culture.
2. Stop pretending that Islam is a religion. Islam is a totalitarian ideology. In other words, the right to religious freedom should not apply to Islam.
3. Stop mass immigration by people from Muslim countries. We have to end Al-Hijra.
4. Encourage voluntary repatriation.
5. Expel criminal foreigners and criminals with dual nationality, after denationalization, and send them back to their Arab countries. Likewise, expel all those who incite to a ‘violent jihad’.
6. We need an European First Amendment to strengthen free speech.
7. Have every member of a non-Western minority sign a legally binding contract of assimilation.
8. We need a binding pledge of allegiance in all Western countries.
9. Stop the building of new mosques. As long as no churches or synagogues are allowed to be build in countries like Saudi-Arabia we will not allow one more new mosque in our western countries. Close all mosques where incitement to violence is taking place. Close all Islamic schools, for they are fascist institutions and young children should not be educated an ideology of hate and violence.
10. Get rid of the current weak leaders. We have the privilege of living in a democracy. Let’s use that privilege and exchange cowards for heroes. We need more Churchills and less Chamberlains.

I wish he HAD got into the country. Would've loved to go to one of his seminars and smack him right in the face. Then in his balls. Then face again.

What does he mean by Humanism. I was speaking to this guy the other day and I thought he was just some hippy guy but then he spoke some more about keeping different cultures apart to minimise conflict and this shit. Is that what Humanism is about?

His myth of a "Judeo-Christian-Humanist culture" in the Netherlands is just that - a myth. I don't have much knowledge of humanism in general, but I think that most people calling themselves such would not want to be associated with Wilders.

It is true that this sonuva***** matches, or even outdoes, many of the traditional fascist parties in many respects. Yet there are also differences. For one, he doesn't come from a fascist tradition, but from a highly conservative faction in the liberal/conservative VVD party, which he has split off from. He also doesn't attack the Jews as many fascists have done, he is in fact a well-received guest at the Israeli embassy.

And unlike the fascists, he doesn't try to build a mass movement of disenchanted middle class and lumpen shock troops. In fact, it's not even possible to be a member of the party. You can only donate and vote. If you want to stand for them in an election, you'll have to be approved by the big boss, and that's about all the influence you'll have. He apparently just lets the money, the votes and the media do the job for him.

Some people will easily call him a fascist, while others shy away from this. But he is, in any case, a new kind of threat that has not been fought efficiently so far.

That sounds a lot like the strategy used by Gerhard Frey and the DVU in Germany from 1987-2008, he used vast amounts of his money for propaganda and occasionally managed to get his followers elected into state parliaments, but they usually lost all their seats in the next election due to internal conflict, their openly displayed stupidity or a combination of both.
However Wilders seems to be more successful, and I guess if one of those "new right" leaders ever got into power there'd be more than enough of his voters ready to turn into willing henchmen even without a previously built mass movement.

Good grief. I had to read this twice because the first time this Wilders guy caught me offguard. One thing definatly to spot is that he's a damn good speaker. I do think this guy could make a crowd believe that they should be wearing tin foil hats - literaly. It's only when you really examine closely what he says you see the holes in it. I'd say that he's a worrying guy, not so much because of his views (which are awful), but more because of the power he'll undoubtibly hold over normaly rational people. He's a darkly charismatic bastard and I'm sure he will have a cult following somewhere or other because of it.

i gladly would have paid your lawyer and youd have been garanteed to have unlimited sleeping places an free of charge bartaps whenever you would have come to the netherlands.

Wilders is a highly dangerous fascist maniac, who has to be stopped whatever the costs.

[STJ]

What a fascist piece of crap.
