“Speak the truth” Geert Wilders repeated, “Speak the truth”

My dear friend Marinka Peschmann was fortunate enough to catch Geert Wilders in Canada:

_{Geert Wilders and Ezra Levant}

Geert Wilders Goes to Toronto, Canada

“Speak the truth” Wilders repeated, “Speak the truth.”

Wilders warned the audience about the loss of freedom of speech and the growing influence of the United Nations Organization of the Islamic Conference. He suggested that Canada and Europe include an American-styled freedom of speech amendment to their laws.

He offered facts and statistics of Islamism’s increasing role in Europe. He discussed recent parliamentary successes he achieved in the Netherlands; including immigration reforms, and stripping criminals with dual citizenship of their Dutch citizenship and deporting them.

Wilder’s reminded how 65 years ago Canadians were sent to battle to defeat Nazism to free Europe, to free the Netherlands. “And it would be an enormous insult to them if we Europeans would give up the precious freedom for another totalitarian ideology…” he said.

Previously the Dutch parliamentarian traveled widely throughout the Middle East. That changed in 2004 when his life was threatened by Muslim extremists. In 2008 he made and released a short documentary entitled Fitna which Wilders says shows how verses from the Koran are being used to incite modern Muslims to behave violently and anti-democratically. For the last seven years he lives under 24-hour police protection. He moves shadowed by bodyguards. He cannot sleep in the same place for two consecutive nights, yet there is no anger or bitterness in his voice, rather there is an thoughtfullness when he speaks, a desire to perhaps educate and inform. It is not only the West and Europe who Wilders wants to remain free but he wants to free the Muslims too. Wilders received a standing ovation.

pamela geller:

a wonderful post, for many reasons, but mainly it is good to see the clarity of wilders's message and presentation.

few politicians are as candid and forthcoming as wilders, and damned few so motivated to speak truth as he sees it, and to back that perception with hard facts and analysis.

Long live Mr. Geert Wilders! I love this man! He speaks with such clarity and dignity. He is truly of brave character and an enlightening speaker - a real "hero" in my eyes for always standing his ground. I am reluctant to mention (them) in the same breathe - but I will do so - I wish that more of our politicians had just a fraction of Geert Wilder's integrity and backbone! Imagine how great this country could be again if there were more like Mr. Geert Wilders in places where it counts. (i.e., a replacement for that despicable, pathetic excuse of a NYC mayor all the way up to the Whitehouse) Maybe, just maybe then things would start to turn around for the better in this country.

[Basic Saint]

Realitycheck: in the Netherlands he is considered a right-wing extremist and a nutcase. But then again, so is Pamela Geller.

[Leigh Patrick Sullivan]

First we elect a majority Conservative government led by the most pro-Israeli Western leader, now Geert Wilders finally comes to Canada with his important message and meets with very little protest. How is it that Canada, with our reputation of European-style leftwing socialism, has become more sensible than our American neighbors?

[Wonderin1]

OUCH! Point well taken, Leigh Patrick Sullivan.

Indeed! USA has stumbled. However, we pray that we're not yet fallen. Time will tell.

Meanwhile, PLEASE give your full support to pro-Israeli policies while maintaining that wonderful Canadian-ness of yours that we cherish over on our side of our border.

Love and Respect from USA for our treasured Northern neighbors! Oh, Canada! May we be forever bound together in freedom!

KAFIR AND PROUD!!

[cornell]

Thanks to your blog, Pamela, I was made aware of Geert's speech in Toronto and was able to attend and to meet him. What a hero! It was a momentous event.

[Morty62]

I'm very disappointed that the United States has yet to produce and support a man of Wilders' courage, honesty, and erudition. People here speak truth, but they are demonized for it rather than lionized. Even though Mr. Wilders walks in the shadow of potential violence at least he has strong support from a large swath of the Dutch population. Thank you Pamela for bringing this brave man to our shores at your rally in NYC.

Zip introduces us to Sheikh Abdelbari Zamzami who just made necrophilia halal.


Zemzami justifies his ruling by means of analogy: Since a good Muslim couple will meet again in Heaven, and since death does not alter the marital contract (in his opinion) it is not a hindrance to the husband’s desire to have sexual intercourse with the corpse of his (freshly) deceased wife"

Don't you wish you lived under Sharia law? (answer: NO)

Some comments:
"bet she enjoyed it as much as when she was alive"
"gives new meaning to term frigid"
"whaddya expect from a bunch of friggin inbreeds?"
"truly the cult of sexual deviancy and death"

Wilders is the world's Paul Revere of the 21st Century. Those who love freedom would do well to listen closely to this man's words.

[Mackie]

Why are there not others in Europe like Geert Wilders who speak so profoundly about the ever growing threat of Islamic supremacism in the EU? What we see are so-called leaders who are cowering in fear of the Islamists, failing to confront them, failing to make it clear that Islamization does not belong in our Western countries,failing to recognize that Islam is hell bent on taking over the EU Countries from within as well as any other Western Nations such as America,Canada,and Australia.

Today we see ignorant(dhimmis),weak and meak so called leaders bending to these Islamists who do only a couple of things that make them tremble with fear-- Muslims speak loud, and they threaten all that are non Muslims. It appears that Europeans don't relish their freedoms that millions died to preserve including American and Canadian soldiers whose massive cemeteries are to be found all through France and Britain. Apparently they will only recognize the loss of their once proud countries after it is to late, they will say; why did we let this happen? Why did we not defend and preserve our cultures? Why did our leaders not enforce the laws of our lands against this invading totalitarian ideology? Why did we forsake our fathers and our grandfathers who fought preserve our countries from threats within and from outside?

And like the left in America as well as the EU countries they are somehow sadly turning on their own countries and have decided they were not worth saving and allowed themselves to be subdued by an ideology and culture that will suppress all their freedoms of expression,it will treat women as less than 2nd class citizens and no longer will they even be able to reflect the freedoms afforded that allowed them to hate their own countries, they will have bought themselves; A TICKET TO HELL!!!

Morty62, Alan Keyes speaks the truth. Col. Allen West does too, although he has disappointed me with not thinking O's ineligibility was an issue and he said we should quit wasting time on trying to get rid of the health care bill piece by piece.

Alan Keyes has never waivered on the issues. Including no mosque at Ground Zero.

Heck, I say no more mosques in this country period!

And yes, I LOVE Geert Wilders!! Was near the front for the 9-11 rally and got to hear him speak. GREAT speaker!

[Kufar Dawg]

Yes and the corrupt politicos and dhimmidiot left embrace Islamofascism -- because it's easier that way. It's really too bad they all can't embrace Islamofascism in an Islamic state and live together in the perfect peace, harmony and tolerance that Islam provides -- NOT.

[Kufar Dawg]

Didn't Canadian authorities charge, arrest and prosecute fellow Canadian Mark Steyn w/some sort of hate crime for writing a book critical of Islam?

[Morty62]

I like Rep. West very much also. He's from my state too. I saw a video clip of him dismantling some shill from CAIR. His constituents gave him a huge ovation. I guess what I meant was that I wish we had a national figure making as big an impact here as Wilders is making in the Netherlands. He is attacked but is able to weather it because he doesn't have the kind of personal baggage that lessons the effectiveness of some of our politicians here like Palin and Gingrich. Wilders comes across as calm, passionate and very statesmanlike, a very winning constellation of qualities. If we do manage to propel a candidate into the national spotlight who is adamant about being against Islamification it's almost better if he--like Rep. West-- stays away from divisive issues like that of Obama's eligibility. It's such an important issue that you want to bring as many voters in as you can. Let others take the heat for potential wedge issues.

[Leigh Patrick Sullivan]

Not exactly. We have a 'Human Rights Commission', set up both federally and in each province, which is nothing more than a kangaroo court. The plaintiff does not incur costs - the defendant does, and there is no actual 'judge' at the investigation. (Ezra Levant's case is very well known here. He had to spend over $100,000 of his own money to defend himself against baseless accusations. He won, but will never see that money again.) It is a section of the HRA - Section 13, to be exact - that the citizens are speaking out against. Interesting that, to date, no white person has had their 'complaint' heard against a visible minority, yet the HRC has become a tool (weapon) by minorities against the 'majority' whites in Canada.

As I've stated, Canada still suffers from the residue of past leftwing, politically correct mistakes. But, as recent examples show, we are, finally, shedding the shackles of our past. Now, if our American friends can shed themselves from the mistake of electing Obama, our two nations can lead the way to the land of common sense and real fairness.

[Green Infidel]

LOL, by whom? 1960s-era wannabe hippies who still think the whole world can hold hands and sing Kumbaya?

As I recall, just under 50% of Dutch hold favourable views of Geert Wilders, and just over 50% don't... But as the Netherlands becomes more "culturaly enriched", and all the pot smoked in Amsterdam wears off, surely the first number can only become higher, and the second one diminish, until it includes only the most-extreme self-hating far-left nuts?

[Robin Shadowes]

Pislam gets more and more repulsive for every day that's go by. And they have the nerve to claim we are morally corrupt decadent! They have the nerve to call western women whores just because they don't dress in tents while the male arselifters on the other hand have sex with everything from pre-pubescent boys & girls, same gender-sex, sex with animals and now even corpses. Howdare they say we are obsessed with sex when everything in pislam has to do with sex, even their afterlife is nothing than a heavenly brothel it seems.

[Robin Shadowes]

And who in their sane mind wants to take in refugees seeking asylum fleeing from our ex-nations? Who wants to take in people who betrayed their own and gave away their own country to barbarians? As you can't see which of us who were once cultural-marxists before they escaped the chaos of their own making. They have perfected the art of turn-coating. So I can only recommend to reject all asylum-seekers from Europe. As they will try again to infiltrate all institutions even in their new adopted country as well.

[Prophet]

Thank you Pamela for that info. and video !

Every time I hear Mr. Wilders speak, my spirits are lifted at least a little. That is because it is so darned depressing that the world has become so intimidated by Islamics and those who we are supposed to look up to, cower in a corner , hiding behind political correctness. The journalists and politicians have become so suckered by the Muslim lies, it's discouraging . Then I see Geert and I know his message is spreading, and there is some hope in my heart .

I love the way he speaks so bluntly and plainly ; his words hit like a hammer, and it does, indeed, bother a lot of people, including some writers who worry all the time about Muslims being victims . I think the unvarnished truth can make a person feared and hated, however. It was that way with Winston Churchill too- many called him a fearmonger .

BASIC SAINT : yes, what you say about the Netherlands being so negative about Wilders seems to be true. "A man is not without honor except in his own country " That is a shame. One of the main reasons this is the way it is there is because the Dutch, and even European media ,are so darned negative about him ! Look at those "specials on him earlier this year - they compared him to a Nazi and also said he was "a Jewish spy " .( I don't know if you have noticed it, but a wave of anti-semitism is sweeping Europe now .) They take every little crumb that is possiblely questionable and turn it into a big, bad deal. It's a wonder he's "still in business" so to speak . I fear he will do very badly in the next election .

As a speaker, while he cam be riveting, I notice he has a little trouble talking English fluently. but still the context of his words overpowers any awkwardness of style. He speaks Dutch very eloquently, and was even given the title of "best debater" a few times in Holland .

Whatever his faults may be, I do not care-; he is an unusual and courageous man , an inspiration to others whose souls are crying to be free of the harsh judgement of those who dare to speak out and tell the truth. He risks his life every time he steps out of his house, and indures the slings and arrows of belittlement and ridicule something awful. God, give us more men who are their own person and escape the confines of " socially acceptable " talk !

He will be in Nashville tomorrow, and I wonder if there will be any protests ? There were some protesters in Toronto, but about 20 only - the usual bunch of bleeding-heart loons bawling about "racism" etc.

Pamela- too bad you don't meet with him while is is in the states - what a double whammy- you both are such dynamos . Come on--why don't you have dinner with him ??

[Basic Saint]

Erm, I wonder where you read just under 50%? It's simply not true. It is true he's somehow involved in the current rightwing government that has about 51% of the votes. (The only reason he's in it is that other parties in that government think his appeal will wear off once he has to take on responsability.)
At the moment he has about 16% of the votes cast during last election. And really, his views are being frowned upon even by our right wing parties.

As for the pot smoking, please don't believe everything Fox tells you. Here in Holland we think the Foxrants on Amsterdam are extremely funny at best. They appear now and then in the humorous section of our news-broadcasts.

[Kufar Dawg]

Europeons deserve Islamofascism.

[Kufar Dawg]

On reading up on Ezra Levant the HRC really makes Canada sound worse than the US then. I believe Mark Steyn now lives in the US.

[fawegfawerfwe]

Is it really that difficult to understand the difference between islam and islamism? Wilders implies in his statements that all muslims are exponents of islamism, therefore they are all to blame for the deeds of very few. Aint that the same way antisemitism became common in the 30s in Germany?

[Green Infidel]

So he's universally considered a nutcase? That must be the reason for his many awards...

"On 15 December 2007, Wilders was declared "Politician of the Year" by NOS-radio, a mainstream Dutch radio station."

"In December 2009, Wilders came in second in two polls in the Netherlands for Politician of the Year. A panel of Dutch television viewers praised him as "the second best" politician this year"

I don't watch Fox News myself - mainly because it's not on TV where I am in Europe... Glad you find it entertaining though. As for Dutch people and pot-smoking, that image more comes from various places in Europe, and Holland itself. (a European who doesn't see Wilders as a right-wing extremist? Impossible eh?!)

[samuel]

god bless geert wilders. i come from the middle east and what's happening in the western countrys is deja vu, slowly slowly they WILL take over if no action is taken NOW.

[Temeroso]

Hello America and Canada,

Please don't be fooled by this man, he is smart and knows his stuff! Most of all he knows what to say to move everybody watch to him wenn he talks.
Mr. Wilders is a frequent visitor of the israelian ambassy in The Hague, he visited Isreal over 40 times in the last 20 years and he is beleived to have double nationallity, Dutch and Israelian. (noticed I did not say jewish?)
Mr. Wilders is a Demagoge and knows to play the crowd, Please try to translate to following statements of former collegues of him in de VVD. This might open your eyes...

http://misdaadjournalist.web-log.nl/files/wilders-verklaring-nw.pdf

Anyway, what is about this new union of USA, Canada and Mexico that Bush Jr. created? I gues once UNASUR is a fact like the European Common Market, you all can join and enjoy the Amero?

Sorry Guys, WAKE UP before it is to late ( if we did not pass that point allready.....)
