In a published statement he said he would never personally stop his campaign against Islam but the risk to innocents, and of attacks on the Netherlands, stemming from the proposed contest were too great.

“My point about the intolerant nature of Islam has been proved again by this,” he said.

Earlier this week, Dutch police arrested a 26-year-old man suspected of threatening to attack Wilders over his plan.

In 2005, Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published cartoons of Prophet Mohammad that sparked a wave of protest across the Muslim world and several attempts to kill either its editor or cartoonist Kurt Westergaard.

Ten years later, a pair of Islamists stormed the offices of magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, known for publishing satirical cartoons of the Prophet, and killed 12 people.

Dear prime minister:

Here’s a novel idea to solve your 7th century barbarian muzzie problem:

Round them up - all of them - and deport them out of your country back to the middle east. Doesn’t matter where, any sh*thole will do.

Problem solved.

If another 911 happens you do just that. Make the crazies come out of their mosques in one place. Then we’ll know what to do.

The best sign I ever saw:

“Everything I Needed to Know About Islam I learned on 9-11-2001”

That sentiment hasn’t changed in the intervening years since they murdered 3000+ of my fellow Countrymen.

Is al reuters mythmaking the war of 12 cartoons again? It wasn’t a contest that got islamists bent out of shape, it was a fake pamphlet some radical clerics were spreading that included things like a photo from a hog calling contest.

‘since they murdered 3000+ of my fellow Countrymen.’

Elizabeth Warren would say she is sorry for the 3000 but we need to concentrate on the more important parts of immigration.

Fauxahontas Warren can shove her head up her own ass and whistle Dixie.

Those Americans murdered on the September day were my brothers and sisters. OUR brothers and sisters.

She can go to Hell.

While I agree with that sentiment, check that list of "Countrymen" again.

Although some people are still dying from 9/11, about 12% of fatalities were foreigners (Wikipedia). Undisclosed were how many (NY) Illegals.

They were Americans.

Whatever disagreements I/We may have had with them, it was OUR place to settle those differences, not to watch them be murdered by 7th century savages that have proved over and over over the centuries that they cannot get along with ANY other culture.

When I remember people leaping out of those windows to certain death, rather than be burned alive... well, those were Americans, and they were my brothers and sisters.

The scum that did that to us - AND the scum here at home in a certain political party that ALLOWED them into our Country and enabled it - are the enemy.
