Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders, in a text message, tells the Associated Press he will be returning to Holland within the hour after arrest.
"I am in a detention centre at Heathrow ... I am detained. They took my passport. I will not be allowed to enter the country. They will send me back within a few hours.” "I am in a detention centre at Heathrow ... I am detained. They took my passport. I will not be allowed to enter the country. They will send me back within a few hours.”
Bye bye England -- they are done. They should be kissing his ring for his bravery and courage in doing what they don't have the spine to do.
The Home Secretary Jacqui Smith who barred Wilders entry (see letter) has renamed Islamic terrorism 'anti-Islamic activity,' and has welcomed the most violent Islamic radicals while simultaneously banned Jews. (Video of Jacqui Smith)
What is even more hypocritical is that we watched in horror as hordes of Muslims and leftists rallied in the streets of London calling for Jewish genocide, calling for the destruction of Israel, and that was OK. Scenes depicting a Jewish blood libel of Jews eating babies. That was ok. The Brit police actually escorted the would be annihilationists to the Israel embassy while being assaulted, insulted and under seige.
The plea of a free man:
One of my comments on FB, "Britannia has sunk beneath the waves of history. Nelson, Benbow, Churchill must all be spinning in their graves. The great in Great Britain is no more."
Churchill is weeping ............ as the UK limps to extinction.
Wilders calls Gordon Brown the number one coward in Europe.
This is a fatal blow to free speech.
UPDATE: Mark Steyn writes at NRO : (hat tip Sounder)
"....they have no problem admitting to the United Kingdom the likes of Dr Ijaz Mian, who preached as follows at the Ahl-e-Hadith mosque in Derby: You cannot accept the rule of the kaffir. We have to rule ourselves and we have to rule the others... King, Queen, House of Commons: if you accept it, you are a part of it. If you don't accept it, you have to dismantle it. So you being a Muslim, you have to fix a target. From that White House to this Black House, we know we have to dismantle it. Muslims must grow in strength, then take over... You are in a situation in which you have to live like a state-within-a-state - until you take over. And so it goes: Multiculti England will tolerate any intolerance, except the guy who points out the intolerance. We can't tolerate that."
There are no borders on this. It's willful suicide for all of us.
UPDATE: I can't help but notice how the media that is covering it - there has been a media blackout on this story in the US) - refer to Wilders as "ultra right" or "far right". When did freedom of speech become a far right issue? Is this how these leftard journalists self medicate themselves while they aid and abet their own suicide? From the Times Online:
”It is easy to invite people you agree with, it is more difficult to invite people you disagree with and this is the proof of the pudding," he said.
"I am going to Great Britain because I was invited by another politician (Lord Pearson of Rannoch). I am a democrat, I am serving freedom of speech. They are not only being nasty to me they are being nasty to freedom of speech.
He added: "They (the British government) are more Chamberlain than Churchill."
At 2.20pm, Mr Wilders was escorted through UK immigration by two plain-clothed officers and into the offices of the UK border agency.
At one stage, during the long walk from the plane to immigration, one of Mr Wilders’ bodyguards asked border agency guards to relax their grip on the MP.
The guards kept a tight hold on both Mr Wilders’s arms as they walked him through the airport followed by a gaggle of journalists and cameramen.
As he approached passport control, Mr Wilders was asked if he was nervous. He replied: “I’m not nervous. I’m just anxious to find out what will happen to me. Is this how Great Britain welcomes a democrat?”
In the House of Lords today, Lord Pearson, the peer who invited Mr Wilders to Britain, mounted a staunch defence of Wilders' right to show Fitna.
Lord Pearson said he disagreed with some of Mr Wilders’ views but believed he should be allowed to express them.
He asked Home Office minister Lord West of Spithead: “Do you think this situation would occur if Mr Wilders had said ban the Bible. If it would not have occurred, why would it not have occurred?”
“Surely the violence and the disturbance that may arise from showing this film in this country is not caused by the film which attempts to show merely how the violent Islamist uses the Koran to perpetrate his terrible acts.
“The violence is coming from the Jihadist, the violent Islamist, and surely the Government in doing what it has done is therefore guilty of appeasement.”
Lord West replied: “I certainly don’t think we are guilty of appeasement in any way whatsoever. I don’t want to go down the route of discussing a hypothetical case of what if he talked about this, what if he talked about that.”
He told peers: “Under European law a member state of the European Economic Area may refuse entry to a national of another EEA state if they constitute a threat to public policy, public security or public health.”










Oh, this is great. Here is a guy who is under 24/7/365 fear of his life from muslim wack jobs, just look at the signs in the post, and the uk sees Wilders as the threat. The Brits really have their tail between their legs ...... it is going to be a long winter for Western Civilization.

Freedom of speech in Britain is gone, perhaps forever. Sad to see a country jettison its spiritual foundation, the Magna Carta and Protestant Christian heritage and descend into this, but the outcome is predictable, for human rights do not come from man, and when a government rejects this fact, the spiritual foundation of law, loss of freedom surely results. It will be very difficult if not impossible to regain freedom, but good people must try.
The saddest part of all is that so many British people don't yet realize that their freedom is now gone, like an autumn leaf falling to the ground in the dead of the night. I hope citizens of other nations will recognize what is happening and begin to move to keep their G-d given rights.

Its been happening for a long time now and the deportation of Geert Wilders from the UK is just the latest episode in the West's surrender to Islamic radicalism. As Mark Steyn has noted, in today's multi-cultural societies that have less and less to hold their disparate parts to hold them together, the first government response to social tension is often censorship.
But its one-way street. The enemies of the Open Society can undermine the West and its liberal values but their critics who point that subversion and who defend those values are being muzzled and some cases jailed.
So what happened to Wilders should concern all of us. His plight is just part of a larger picture and in the battle against Islam and jihad we're losing and the lights of freedom are going out all over the West.

You're right, Pam, this is "Bye bye England." England has now officially chosen Sharia Law over Democracy, Appeasement of Savages over Freedom of Speech. If they embrace the enemy we must now regard them as the enemy.

Britain, like most of Europe, has been dying a slow death for years. It's been dying culturally, intellectually, philosophically and the worst, spiritually. Without the Judaeo-Christian spirituality that has kept Europe going as an economic and colonial powerhouse for centuries, right or wrong, it's kept Europe going. Now, Europe has lost its spiritual roots, making Europe fertile ground for a takeover.
How, you ask? Very simple. Europe has no spiritual and intellectual BACKBONE to fight for its collective cultural identity and in my lifetime Europe will be subsumed to Sharia. I fear that it's possible that even the Catholic Church's Roman Curia may have to move from Rome if Italy falls to Sharia. It's happened before.
In 1964, because of constant harassment from Muslims and the government, the Patriarchate of the Assyrian Church of the East, which was in Baghdad, moved to the USA. The Assyrian Church is one of the most ancient churches, started in the 1st Century A.D. (Anno Domine, "Year of Our Lord," not CE, "Common Era"). The Assyrian Church has been almost obliterated by Islam. Even so, in 1968, Saddam Hussein managed to get the Assyrian Patriarch assassinated in the US.
Pope Benedict XVI is very aware, as is Bartholomew I, Patriarch of Constantinople (even more so) of the threat that Islam presents to Christianity. Any sober student of history would be aware.
Britain's almost completely dead, as is Europe.

To the British reading this comment:
I remember the pride I felt in seeing documentaries of the blitz. The spitfires symbolized defiance courage and strength in Western Civilizations darkest hour - UNTIL NOW.
Goodbye Churchill,
Goodbye Nelson,
Goodbye Sir Francis Drake
Goodbye Henry V
Goodbye Richard the Lionheart
Ordinary Englishmen summoned extrodinary strength and courage when called to defend their country.
The greatness of England is their legacy, its demise is yours - hang your heads in shame!

Free Speech had a tactical defeat. It has not yet lost the war, but more important this tactical defeat will be seen as a strategic victory one day. It has shown all of us how much danger we are in. We needed this, to be shown this, in order to arouse us from slumber. Not all defeats are bad, as long as you have not lost the war.
It is a learning experience...we have crossed the Rubicon...

I have seen the hatred in the eyes of the English Islamists on Edgeware street near Hyde park. The English are in for a rough time if and when they decide to rid themselves of this menace.
I cant imagine the football loving, beer drinking, middle Englishman going down without a fight.
They just need to get with it!

Nothing, absolutely nothing, in the MSM, nothing at all, about any of this. Is it that they are scared, they simply don't see it, they see it, but think it not important? Whether it be by, omission or commission, they are advancing the cause of these lunatics. When will the West wake up, when will it wake up to the sheer terror of these miscreants. Or will it never wake up? We truly do live in a time that was foretold by several of the Old Testament prophets, a day where, "evil is good, and good, evil. Amassing, absolutely amassing!!

I agree Europe is gone. If they ever pull their heads out of their collective "as..s" they will have a bloody war within their country that they may or may not win. We have training camps here in the good ole USA so where is our FBI, where is the news media. The media has been bought by Soros et al and they will report whatever he wants them to. Obama is a Muslim. No christian would ever say as he did, "we don't celebrate Christmas". What, he doesn't celebrate the birth of Christ. The judges and politicians who brought this upon us should be jailed or executed, either is fine by me. The Supreme Court has failed to enforce the constitution. The liberals have for decades taught their own beliefs and twisted history to our young. Our young people are not capable of making the right decision or seeing the writing on the wall and that is why they voted for Obama. Anything against the establishment is great. Mistakes were made in the Bush years which gave the liberals the needed ammo to pull this off. I bet the run on our banks which would have toppled us if not stopped was orchestrated by none other than the Muslims. After all we have saturated them with oil money for so long. Remember when the World Bank reported that its computers had been hacked into twice within the last two years. It was all a script and played to perfection. Now we have bill HR 45 to take away our guns. Those training camps already all over our great country(see the book Stealth Jihad) are producing Obama's Civilian Police Force. No matter how much we complain we are being shut out by the mass news media. None of the things including the dems move to control the census is being reported. Can we do anything? What? Geert Wilders is a hero. Soon they will pass the fairy doctrine and all freedom of speech will be curtailed. I am at a total loss to figure out how to organize against this takeover of our great nation. We are the last on the list and it is happening here. I don't want to end up like Britain.

Even Fox News uses these headlines <<<< >>>>>:
WHOAH - their frontpage headline WAS "Unwelcome Mat for Anti-Islam Pol" and a few other unbecomming comments - now WASHED AWAY from their main page, and they've changed comments under his photo that were very biased in the link below which includes:
An <<<<<<<>>>>>>> Dutch politician vows to fly to Great Britain on Thursday despite a government ban on his entering the country, and he's daring the "weak and cowardly" British government to arrest him when he gets there.
"I'll see what happens at the border," Geert Wilders told Radio Netherlands on Wednesday. "Let them put me in handcuffs."
<<<<<<>>>> lawmaker was invited by a member of Parliament to show his anti-Islam movie "Fitna," which calls the Koran a "fascist" book and accuses Islam of being a violent religion. He was told by the British Embassy in a letter Tuesday that he could not set foot in the country.

His is much worse than just being refused entry to the UK. The denial could be the basis for automatic denial in many other countries.

Every day something else!
How can those FOOLS in Britain Deny Wilders entrance when every day they're ADMITTING DANGEROUS JIHADIS?
Perhaps GEERT should have tried to enter the UK as A Political Asylum Seeker, considering he is BEING PERSECUTED in HOLLAND.
THAT WOULD HAVE REALLY PUT THOSE "BLOODY" BRITISH ON THE SPOT.

As a British subject, I would like to apologise for the goverment that 'represents' me. Lord Achmed is a killer (google him, he hit someone when he was driving his car, because he was texting on his phone), and a nut job. It seems the mother of all parliaments has just whored its self to the person who shouts the loudest. Again, my sincerest apologies.

I despise NuLabour with every fibre of my being.
This latest outrage is further exposing their agenda, the one and its consequences that they have tried so hard to hide from the public (with too much help from the MSM)
I hope that it will wake up the people who haven't been paying attention.
NuLabour are starting to come apart at the seams. They are traitors to our country, guilty of High Treason and the Ethnic cleansing of the English.
May they rot.
