The Freeing Of Geert Wilders
IBD Editorials ^ | June 23, 2011 | Staff

Political Correctness: The acquittal, on hate-speech charges, of the Dutch politician who spoke the truth about Islamofascism is a victory for freedom and free speech. The truth may yet keep us free.

Somewhere Voltaire is smiling, for he would have defended to the death the Dutch politician's right to speak his mind about militant Islam and immigration and the threats he felt both posed to his country and democracy at large.

Geert Wilders is a leader in the Dutch Freedom Party who has been a thorn in the side of politically correct Europeans cowered by their increasing Muslim populations into accepting the creeping Islamization of Europe, or Eurabia, as some, including ourselves, have dubbed it.

In March 2008, Wilders posted a film about the Koran, "Fitna," on the Internet. It equated Islam with violence and the Koran with Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf," at least in the sense of the advocacy of obscene violence against humanity and as a blueprint of things to come.

The opening scenes of "Fitna," a Koranic term sometimes translated as "strife," shows a copy of the Koran followed by footage of the attacks on the U.S. on 9/11, followed by London in July 2005 and Madrid in March 2004. Subtle he is not. But neither is he a criminal.

It did not help that Wilders included in the film a scene showing Muslim protesters holding signs reading "God Bless Hitler" that would tend to lend credence to Wilders' thesis. Mention of Hitler and Nazism in any context is a touchy subject in Europe to this day, as is criticism of anything Muslim.

The connection of the jihadists to the Nazis is lontstanding well documented, going back to the Grand Mufti of Jeruselem who spent most of WWII as a guest of Hitler in Berlin, then went back to Palestine to incite the Arabs to exterminate the Jews.

This is a good day - and long in coming.

We need more Geert Wilders in this world.

May God keep His protective angels around him.
