Friday, March 5, 2010 INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING House of Lords, London, Friday, March 5 Thank you.  It is great to be back in London.  And it is great that this time, I got to see more of this wonderful city than just the detention centre at Heathrow Airport.  Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for your invitation and showing my film ‘Fitna’.  Thank you my friends for inviting me.  Also In This Edition I first have great news.  Last Wednesday city council elections were held in the Netherlands.  And for the first time my party, the Freedom Party, took part in these local elections.  We participated in two cities.  In Almere, one of the largest Dutch cities.  And in The Hague, the third largest city; home of the government, the parliament and the queen.  And, we did great!  In one fell swoop my party became the largest party in Almere and the second largest party in The Hague.  Great news for the Freedom Party and even better news for the people of these two beautiful cities.  And I have more good news.  Two weeks ago the Dutch government collapsed.  In June we will have parliamentary elections.  And the future for the Freedom Party looks great.  According to some polls we will become the largest party in the Netherlands.  I want to be modest, but who knows, I might even be Prime Minister in a few months time!  Ladies and gentlemen, not far from here stands a statue of the greatest Prime Minister your country ever had.  And I would like to quote him here today: “Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.  No stronger retrograde force exists in the World.  It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step (…) the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”  These words are from none other than Winston Churchill wrote this in his book ‘The River War’ from 1899.  Churchill was right.  Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t have a problem and my party does not have a problem with Muslims as such.  There are many moderate Muslims.  The majority of Muslims are law-abiding citizens and want to live a peaceful life as you and I do.  I know that.  That is why I always make a clear distinction between the people, the Muslims, and the ideology, between Islam and Muslims.  There are many moderate Muslims, but there is no such thing as a moderate Islam.  Islam strives for world domination.  The Quran commands Muslims to exercise jihad.  The Quran commands Muslims to establish shariah law.  The Quran commands Muslims to impose Islam on the entire world.  As former Turkish Prime Minister Erbakan said: “The whole of Europe will become Islamic.  We will conquer Rome”.  End of quote.  Libyan dictator Gaddafi said: “There are tens of millions of Muslims in the European continent today and their number is on the increase.  This is the clear indication that the European continent will be converted into Islam.  Europe will one day soon be a Muslim continent”.  End of quote.  Indeed, for once in his life, Gaddafi was telling the truth.  Because, remember: mass immigration and demographics is destiny!  Islam is merely not a religion, it is mainly a totalitarian ideology.  Islam wants to dominate all aspects of life, from the cradle to the grave.  Shariah law is a law that controls every detail of life in a Islamic society.  From civic- and family law to criminal law.  It determines how one should eat, dress and even use the toilet.  Oppression of women is good, drinking alcohol is bad.  I believe that Islam is not compatible with our Western way of life.  Islam is a threat to Western values.  The equality of men and women, the equality of homosexuals and heterosexuals, the separation of church and state, freedom of speech, they are all under pressure because of islamization.  Ladies and gentlemen: Islam and freedom, Islam and democracy are not compatible.  It are opposite values.  No wonder that Winston Churchill called Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ “the new Quran of faith and war, turgid, verbose, shapeless, bur pregnant with its message”.  As you know, Churchill made this comparison, between the Koran and Mein Kampf, in his book ‘The Second World War’, a master piece, for which, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature.  Churchill’s comparison of the Quran and ‘Mein Kampf’ is absolutely spot on.  The core of the Quran is the call to jihad.  Jihad means a lot of things and is Arabic for battle.  Kampf is German for battle.  Jihad and kampf mean exactly the same.  Islam means submission, there cannot be any mistake about its goal.  That’s a given.  The question is whether we in Europe and you in Britain, with your glorious past, will submit or stand firm for your heritage.  We see Islam taking off in the West at an incredible pace.  Europe is Islamizing rapidly.  A lot of European cities have enormous Islamic concentrations.  Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Berlin are just a few examples.  In some parts of these cities, Islamic regulations are already being enforced.  Women’s rights are being destroyed.  Burqa’s, headscarves, polygamy, female genital mutilation, honour-killings.  Women have to go to separate swimming-classes, don’t get a handshake.  In many European cities there is already apartheid.  Jews, in an increasing number, are leaving Europe.  As you undoubtedly all know, better then I do, also in your country the mass immigration and islamization has rapidly increased.  This has put an enormous pressure on your British society.  Look what is happening in for example Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford and here in London.  British politicians who have forgotten about Winston Churchill have now taken the path of least resistance.  They have given up.  They have given in.  Last year, my party has requested the Dutch government to make a cost-benefit analysis of the mass immigration.  But the government refused to give us an answer.  Why?  Because it is afraid of the truth.  The signs are not good.  A Dutch weekly magazine – Elsevier – calculated costs to exceed 200 billion Euros.  Last year alone, they came with an amount of 13 billion Euros.  More calculations have been made in Europe: According to the Danish national bank, every Danish immigrant from an Islamic country is costing the Danish state more than 300 thousand Euros.  You see the same in Norway and France.  The conclusion that can be drawn from this: Europe is getting more impoverished by the day.  More impoverished thanks to mass immigration.  More impoverished thanks to demographics.  And the leftists are thrilled.  I don’t know whether it is true, but in several British newspapers I read that Labour opened the door to mass immigration in a deliberate policy to change the social structures of the UK.  Andrew Neather, a former government advisor and speech writer for Tony Blair and Jack Straw, said the aim of Labour’s immigration strategy was, and I quote, to “rub the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date”.  If this is true, this is symptomatic of the Left.  Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake: The Left is facilitating Islamization.  Leftists, liberals, are cheering for every new shariah bank being created, for every new shariah mortgage, for every new islamic school, for every new shariah court.  Leftists consider Islam as being equal to our own culture.  Shariah law or democracy?  Islam or freedom?  It doesn’t really matter to them.  But it does matter to us.  The entire leftist elite is guilty of practising cultural relativism.  Universities, churches, trade unions, the media, politicians.  They are all betraying our hard-won liberties.  Why I ask myself, why have the Leftists and liberals stopped to fight for them?  Once the Leftists stood on the barricades for women’s rights.  But where are they today?  Where are they in 2010?  They are looking the other way.  Because they are addicted to cultural relativism and dependent on the Muslim vote.  They are dependent on mass-immigration.  Thank heavens Jacqui Smith isn’t in office anymore.  It was a victory for free speech that a UK judge brushed aside her decision to refuse me entry to your country last year.  I hope that the judges in my home country are at least as wise and will acquit me of all charges, later this year in the Netherlands.  Unfortunately, so far they have not done so well.  For they do not want to hear the truth about Islam, nor are they interested to hear the opinion of top class legal experts in the field of freedom of expression.  Last month in a preliminary session the Court refused fifteen of the eighteen expert-witnesses I had requested to be summoned.  Only three expert witnesses are allowed to be heard.  Fortunately, my dear friend and heroic American psychiatrist dr.  Wafa Sultan is one of them.  But their testimony will be heard behind closed doors.  Apparently the truth about Islam must not be told in public, the truth about Islam must remain secret.  Ladies and gentlemen, I’m being prosecuted for my political beliefs.  We know political prosecution to exist in countries in the Middle East, like Iran and Saudi-Arabia, but never in Europe, never in the Netherlands.  I’m being prosecuted for comparing the Quran to ‘Mein Kampf’.  Ridiculous.  I wonder if Britain will ever put the beliefs of Winston Churchill on trial… Ladies and gentlemen, the political trial that is held against me has to stop.  But it is not all about me, not about Geert Wilders.  Free speech is under attack.  Let me give you a few other examples.  As you perhaps know, one of my heroes, the Italian author Oriana Fallaci had to live in fear of extradition to Switzerland because of her anti-Islam book ‘The Rage and the Pride’.  The Dutch cartoonist Nekschot was arrested in his home in Amsterdam by 10 police men because of his anti-Islam drawings.  Here in Britain, the American author Rachel Ehrenfeld was sued by a Saudi businessman for defamation.  In the Netherlands Ayaan Hirsi Ali and in Australia two Christian pastors were sued.  I could go on and on.  Ladies and gentlemen, all throughout the West freedom loving people are facing this ongoing ‘legal jihad’.  This is Islamic ‘lawfare’.  And, ladies and gentlemen, not long ago the Danish cartoonist Westergaard was almost assassinated for his cartoons.  Ladies and gentlemen, we should defend the right to freedom of speech.  With all our strength.  With all our might.  Free speech is the most important of our many liberties.  Free speech is the cornerstone of our modern societies.  Freedom of speech is the breath of our democracy, without freedom of speech our way of life our freedom will be gone.  I believe it is our obligation to preserve the inheritance of the brave young soldiers that stormed the beaches of Normandy.  That liberated Europe from tyranny.  These heroes cannot have died for nothing.  It is our obligation to defend freedom of speech.  As George Orwell said: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear”.  Ladies and gentlemen, I believe in another policy, it is time for change.  We must make haste.  We can’t wait any longer.  Time is running out.  If I may quote one of my favourite American presidents: Ronald Reagan once said: “We need to act today, to preserve tomorrow”.  That is why I propose the following measures, I only mention a few, in order to preserve our freedom: First, we will have to defend freedom of speech.  It is the most important of our liberties.  In Europe and certainly in the Netherlands, we need something like the American First Amendment.  Second, we will have to end and get rid of cultural relativism.  To the cultural relativists, the shariah socialists, I proudly say: Our Western culture is far superior to the Islamic culture.  Don’t be affraid to say it.  You are not a racist when you say that our own culture is better.  Third, we will have to stop mass immigration from Islamic countries.  Because more Islam means less freedom.  Fourth, we will have to expel criminal immigrants and, following denaturalisation, we will have to expel criminals with a dual nationality.  And there are many of them in my country.  Fifth, we will have to forbid the construction of new mosques.  There is enough Islam in Europe.  Especially since Christians in Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia are mistreated, there should be a mosque building-stop in the West.  And last but not least, we will have to get rid of all those so-called leaders.  I said it before: Fewer Chamberlains, more Churchills.  Let’s elect real leaders.  Ladies and gentlemen.  To the previous generation, that of my parents, the word ‘London’ is synonymous with hope and freedom.  When my country was occupied by the national-socialists the BBC offered a daily glimpse of hope in my country, in the darkness of Nazi tyranny.  Millions of my fellow country men listened to it, underground.  The words ‘This is London’ were a symbol for a better world coming soon.  What will be broadcasted forty years from now?  Will it still be “This is London”?  Or will it be “This is Londonistan”?  Will it bring us hope?  Or will it signal the values of Mecca and Medina?  Will Britain offer submission or perseverance?  Freedom or slavery?  The choice is yours.  And in the Netherlands the choice is ours.  Ladies and gentlemen, we will never apologize for being free.  We will and should never give in.  And, indeed, as one of your former leaders said: We will never surrender.  Freedom must prevail, and freedom will prevail.  Thank you very much.  COMMENT LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Comments The Left doesn't understand consequences. They think if it sounds good it must be right.  They can write, and read, but they cannot think.  They graduated from prestigious universities by simply spitting back what their professors told them.  They will destroy civilization for our descendants and for this reason they must be stopped.  Brenda Tannenbaum 9:56 p.m. / Monday, March 15, 2010 Mr. Wilders stance vs. Islamo-fascism, echoes Winston Churchill's own against National Socialism, a full decade before WWII made the painful reality evident.  His visionary warnings where dismissed then, just as Mr. Wilders' are attacked today.  Just as then, there will be hell to pay.  Indioviejo 11:02 a.m. / Tuesday, March 9, 2010 What an inspiring speech to read.  I wish I had been there to witness this historical event.  The problem we have is with the traditional media leftist bias which pushes moral equivalence when in fact our western culture is superior to this retrograde totalitarian religion.  When the Swiss had their referendum on the mineret ban their media just like all the traditional politically correct told us that the measure did not have a chance.  Gert is speaking for the silent majority of us who are mad that we are not being heard and he gives me hope that Europe will not go silently into the night and that this repressive third attempt by Islam will fail again.  Peter G 10:53 p.m. / Monday, March 8, 2010 Finally a real leader in Europe with guts, and a brave heart.  Thank you and I hope more will follow your example.  I don’t want America to be alone as detailed in Mark Steyn’s book.  Godspeed my friend.  Jeff Swanson, California USA 8:42 p.m. / Monday, March 8, 2010 Incredible.  A man still left in Europe.  The comparison of Jihad and Kampf was insightful and brilliant.  I heartily applaud him, standing. [ do not publish my email address] Fred B. Georgia, USA 5:06 p.m. / Monday, March 8, 2010 Down with radical Islam!  Long live Freedom!  David 4:50 p.m. / Monday, March 8, 2010 It's not fair to say that all the left have supported the Islamists.  Groups like the left-leaning Hands Off the People of Iran, for instance ,have done a lot of work in exposing the mullah regime in Iran - often making very similar points to Geert Wilders.  If Europe is to stand up to the real threats to freedom that Mr Wilders addresses so eloquently , we must surely unite left and right on this issue .  Remember that during WW11 Churchill made alliances with the left to defeat the Nazi common enemy.  Mike Brown 12:11 p.m. / Monday, March 8, 2010 Finally a man who doesnt bow to this political correctness garbage.  If the world does not stand up to the barbarian muslims we will all be praying to the east!  don 2:31 a.m. / Monday, March 8, 2010 Unlike our current USA president, Mr. Wilders succinctly addresses the threat of Islam to freedom-loving souls throughout the world.  Geert has a residence, of refuge, if need be...here in Bay Point, CA.  Gary Callihan 12:58 a.m. / Monday, March 8, 2010 "Tolerance of the intolerant is suicide" And as Wilders points out, that is what we are doing.  Allowing Islam to dictate to western culture.  Our culture is superior and most of all it is ours.  James Coyne, Columbia Mo. USA 11:28 p.m. / Sunday, March 7, 2010 Clearly the far Left uses Islam to triangulate against a societal/political paradigm.  How is it that most everything supposedly deeply cherished by the left is quickly forgotten in most every way to appease Sharia law, a throwback mentality that is completely anathema to Western Liberal values?  This isn't about humanitarianism.  This is about disrupting society to gain more political power.  Such a strategy reveals the pernicious and subversive nature of the radical left.  Chris 10:37 p.m. / Sunday, March 7, 2010 From America, we hear you Geert!  Good luck to you and please come over here to help spread the word.....we are waking up!  doc li 9:05 p.m. / Sunday, March 7, 2010 Thank you Mr. Geert Wilders.  I love Europe and have been worried for many years that Europe would never wake up and see the danger that faces their freedoms and liberties.  Thank you for standing up and seeing with clear eyes and reporting what you have seen.  David Brown, USA 7:26 p.m. / Sunday, March 7, 2010 Mr. Wilders is astute in identifying Islam as the problem not the majority of Muslims.  In the USA there are some Muslims that plot to harm us.  We need to be aware of the problem and not be politically correct.  lh 7:21 p.m. / Sunday, March 7, 2010 We are at war with radical Islam and we better face it.
