Wilders: Balkenende Must be Terribly Embarrassed
NIS News ^ | March 28 2008

THE HAGUE, 29/03/08 - Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders considers that Premier Jan Peter Balkenende "must be terribly embarrassed" about everything he has said in the past about his anti-Koran film Fitna.

Balkenende repeatedly stressed in recent weeks that the film could lead to attacks and deaths. When the media asked him if he was not exaggerating, the premier even replied last week that the word 'crisis' could turn out to be a euphemism.

The reactions from the Muslim world so far appear to be moderate. "Muslims are acting much more responsibly than the premier," according to Wilders. "He should offer his apologies in front of the camera with a red face of shame. Actually, he should resign, but this will not happen," he added.

TV programme EenVandaag held a poll Friday among its permanent opinion panel of 10,000. A large majority (82 percent) consider that there has been "a great fuss about nothing." Only 20 percent now expect riots over the film, compared with 52 percent recently.

Some 44 percent agree - and as many disagree - with Wilders' statement that "Islam is out for the destruction of Western civilisation." Some 49 percent say the film is (very) good and 42 percent say it is (very) bad.

So this proves the Jihadi Muslim has been tamed?

Why, oh why, is our day so attendent with such undiluted nonsense?

Who did he think was going to do the attacking, and who did he think would do the dying? No need to answer, the question answers itself.

Balkenende could use a shot of testosterone.

“Muslims are acting much more responsibly than the premier”.

It’s true! Muslims are going to do whatever it is they do regardless of what we do. The real threat to us is the capitulation of our non-Muslim leaders.

The pwned factor of muslism and liberal politicians by this film has been unmeasurable.
The muslims are all silent because they know what the film says is true.

Muslims in Holland ARE trying to get Geert Wilders nailed on "hate speech" charges. This one ought to be fun, because almost all of "Fitna" is quotations from the Koran and video clips of Muslims screeching for Jihad and death to the infidels.

So, where is the hate speech here? It lies in what Muslims are saying, what the Koran says.
