The flamboyant and openly gay Mr Fortuyn also criticised Muslim attitudes to women and homosexuals.
There will be a war in the Netherlands. And the Dutch will lose. Sad.

So will there be a headline asking how so many Dutch can be so stupid?

Fortuyn outranks William of Orange?!
This proves that they are *very* mad over there, I think.
We just had Dutch visitors who were touring America for four weeks return home to Venlo just two days ago. They were riveted to the news about the murder and burnings of mosques, and were wondering what they were going home to.

Fortyn died before his time, and he was the first Dutch politician to say what most Dutch were really thinking about all the Muslim immigrants. The issue resonated deeply with Dutch voters then, and now it's now it's even stronger.

Did Mr. Fortuyn's murderer have any Muslim ties that you know of?
Also,are ties between animal rights groups and Islamists noticeable in your Country?

The Dutch are almost as bad at their own history as we are at ours! Pim Fortuyn shouldn't even make the top 50! And Johan Cruyff?
Where is William the Silent and his son, Maurice of Nassau? Where is Martin Tromp?
At least they remembered de Ruyter and William of Orange!

Damn. When the Dutch 'swing to the right' the go all the way.

In 10 years, they will be the only country left in Europe that isn't under Sharia law.

The Dutch are a series people. They will go to the wall for the their rights to FREEDOM. I think they have now come to grips with the repercusions of unbrideled freedom in a multicultural world. ERGO Fortuyn's realtime status over Rembrandnt and Erasmus. Polder me this?
