Under heavy pressure by the Dutch left, national government, and the
North African immigrants themselves for a rallying cry where Wilders asked a campaign-stop crowd in The Hague if they wanted 'more Moroccans or 'less Morrocans' in Holland (followed by predictably raucous cheers for the latter), the Dutch politician is fighting back and -per usual- speaking his mind...
North African immigrants themselves for a rallying cry where Wilders asked a campaign-stop crowd in The Hague if they wanted 'more Moroccans or 'less Morrocans' in Holland (followed by predictably raucous cheers for the latter), the Dutch politician is fighting back and -per usual- speaking his mind...
But of course, as a man of deep thought and clear logic, he says things for a reason- Wilders had no trouble explaining himself, and even issued a public statement. As is his manner, the Dutch Freedom Party leader didn't back down a millimeter... while offering an eloquent defense of his position.
- I name the problems that I see.... That is my duty. That is why I have been elected. I rely on objective facts and figures....
Because they are the truth.
- I do not intend to hurt or offend people, either
- In my fight for freedom and against the Islamization of the Netherlands, I will never let anyone silence me. No matter the cost, no matter by whom, whatever the consequences may be.
- (quotes MLK): "...there is nothing greater in all the world than freedom. It's worth going to jail for. It's worth losing a job for. It's worth dying for."
- Our freedom is being threatened. Threatened by a violent totalitarian ideology – Islam – that brings with it death and devastation. Threatened by a politically correct elite that does not tolerate criticism of Islam and mass immigration, and that nurtures cultural relativism.
- I rise up against this
- I am fighting for a better Netherlands. To preserve our own culture. Our own identity. Our safety. Our freedom.
- I do not discriminate. I do not spread hatred, nor do I incite to it... However, I do not mince my words when I defend our established freedoms and name the dangers to our society.
- I dedicate my life to the fight against this evil ideology and the defense of our liberties. Every day, I pay the price for this fight. Already for over ten years, I have lost my personal freedom.
- For 10 years now, I have drawn attention to the Moroccan problem which we have here in the Netherlands. These include serious problems with integration, crime and welfare dependency.
- The majority of the jihadis traveling from the Netherlands to Syria is Moroccan.
- If we had had the same problem in the Netherlands with Canadians, I would have named them.
- For the reasons above, while on campaign in The Hague, I argued that there need to be fewer Moroccans.
- Indeed, I want fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands for the reasons and context that I have previously expressed in this statement...
- I have yet to meet the Dutchman who wants more Moroccans in the Netherlands. Asking for fewer Moroccans is something totally different than if I were to want all Moroccans to leave the Netherlands or than if I were to object to every Moroccan.
- Like me, 43% of all the Dutch and 95% of my supporters want fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands. I have said what millions of Dutchmen think.
- I also want less Islam in the Netherlands.And like me, 65% of all the Dutch and 100% of my supporters think that the Islamic culture does not belong to the Netherlands.
So if Holland is a democracy with actual freedom-of-speech (as enshrined in their Constitution as well)... what's the problem with anything Geert's saying or doing?
I sure got no issue with any of it... what sane, non-Muslim would.
