Far-right anti-Islam party set to double seats in Dutch election
The far-right Party for Freedom, which has campaigned on a ticket of ending the "Islamic invasion", is expected to double its representation in the Dutch parliament, giving it enough seats to become a potential ruling coalition candidate.

Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders makes strong showing in local polls
The party is predicted to win 18 seats in the forthcoming elections. It currently holds nine.
Led by anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders, the party claims that 40 per cent of social security payments go to non-Western immigrants and that people of Moroccan origin are suspected of committing crime five times more often than the indigenous Dutch.
"The sluice gates are wide open", Mr Wilders said in a campaign video that showed planes landing in Holland as women in headscarves outnumber natives in shopping street scenes.
"Every day we are confronted with mass immigration: headscarves, burqas, minarets, social security dependence, crime ... it never ends," he laments as dramatic music plays in the background of the clip released ahead of June 9 parliamentary elections.
"Whole neighbourhoods are being Islamised."
Mr Wilders' bold move onto the shaky ground of multi-cultural tolerance, for long a matter of Dutch pride, "has prompted other parties to adopt a stricter approach to security and the integration of Muslims", said political analyst Martin Rosema of Twente University.

Even the sometimes slow thinking are getting it...
How come the leftist so called MSM never labels anything lefty “Far Left” or “Hard left”?
You never see those labels in the press.
I’m pretty sure we’ll never see “treasonous hard left” or “anti-American left” or “racist hard left” or “anti-Semitic hard left” in the so called MSM.
Hope that they are in time.
Further, note that they love to tie in “far right” with “anti-”. Of course, you’re racist for being anti-Islam, and thus a “right” person is racist.
When will the U.S. WAKE UP?
You noticed! Fifty "Do Bee" buttons for you!
Of course, it's because to them "Left" is normal, and anything else is "extreme" something-or-other. But they aren't biased, oh, no, not at all.
“...You never see those labels in the press...”
As M. Stanton Evans noted in a great article when El Salvador was in the heart of its guerrilla war, “The question for today is Can there be such a thing as a Leftwing Death Squad?” He cited article after article from the NY Times where anyone on the Left that met a violent end was perhaps the victim of “rightwing death squads” while anyone assasinated on the right was perhaps in the way of “the military wing of the FMLN”.
Only in the view of a far-left, anti-freedom newsrag.
Thanks.
I think the leftwing bias in the media is one of our and/or world’s biggest problems right now.
Double their seats - they should be the majority party. At least they do not elect Muslims to run their country.
I know what you mean. I’m a Christian who believes in good and evil, individual liberty, and respect for life and law. That apparently makes me a far, far right extremist.
The statist nihilists on the left would probably call me a fascist, but that’s only because they’re ignorant. The political spectrum runs from statism on the left to anarchy on the right. I’m actually center right (along with most Americans).
If you are Dutch, you have two choices, immigrate or take back your country. The Dutch answer so far is not clear.
I bet Wilders will still get slammed by Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly. They have turned on him in recent months.
The Liberal Dutch are getting it....yet we have some on the right in this country that will trash Wilders and his party
Excellent!
That line of thinking has multiple problems with it. Islam is not a race. Is Christian a race?
The biggest problem with islam is that it is not compatible with civilization. If you want to have a civilized society, you can't do it with muslims.
“That line of thinking has multiple problems with it. Islam is not a race.”
Take it up with the hypersensitives.
Basically, they like to link it in as religion -> culture -> race, i.e., Islam -> Middle Eastern -> Arab.
So, if you’re against Islam, you’re anti-Arab. If Islam was predominantly a “white” religion, I guarantee the leftist liberals here would be condemning it.
