Vi må ikke komme bag ud med Sappho – det går da virkelig ikke:
Islam tvang ham ind i politik
18. juni 2012 – Interview af Sapphos udsendte
Selvom England er et af de europæiske lande, der er mest præget af masseindvandring, har landet først for nylig fået et islamkritisk parti. Sappho har mødt lederen af det nystiftede British Freedom Party, Paul Weston.
Bury Park er islams land, siger EDL-leder Tommy Robinson. Han tager Sapphos udsendte med på en køretur i en engelsk by præget af moskeer, burkaer og mænd i kjortler.
Tiderne er skiftet: Når den røde regering følger samme udvisningspolitik som den borgerlige, kan “de gode” pludselig ikke bruge de stakkels asylansøgere til noget.
Efter at den langelandske sognepræst Helle Frimann Hansen i Sappho offentliggjorde sit åbne brev om muslimers behandling af kristne konvertitter på et lokalt asylcenter, forsøger kommunen at få hende til at klappe i. [...]
Professor Bent Jensens med spænding ventede værk om Danmark under Den Kolde Krig er på trapperne, men forfatteren har fået forbud mod at bringe mange af de mest interessante oplysninger, bl.a. om Danmarks måske farligste Sovjet-spion.
Efter at Gud er erklæret død, er vi ikke blevet irreligiøse. Vi er bare begyndt at tro på andre religioner båret af dogmer, der er langt mere tyranniske end Bibelens Gud, skriver Melanie Phillips.
Mere HER i Sappho. Hele artiklen kan læses i Standpoint Magazine:
Apologists for Islamic persecution of Christians regularly argue that the animosity is not driven by religion, but rather a “sectarian” divide, by any number of “indigenous” factors—poverty, intertribal conflicts, political machinations, etc.

Muslimer nedslagter konvertitter til kristendommen i Tunesien
04. juni 2012 – Internationalt af Raymond Ibrahim
Liberal talk show host Tawfiq Okasha recently appeared on “Egypt Today” airing a video of Muslims slicing a young man’s head off for the crime of apostasy, in this case, the crime of converting to Christianity and refusing to renounce it. The video—be warned, it is immensely graphic—is below (the actual execution appears from minute 1:13-4:00). For those who prefer not to view it, a summary follows:
Ostensibly dealing with a building, a recent report demonstrates how Turkey’s populace—once deemed the most secular and liberal in the Muslim world—is reverting to its Islamic heritage, complete with animosity for the infidel West and dreams of Islam’s glory days of jihad and conquest.

På disse videoer kan man se, hvorfor halalhippier i Vesten er nødt til at holde det konservative segment nede. Risikoen er jo nemlig, at borgelige kunne finde på at kritisere muslimer for halalslagtning af kristne eller ligefrem standse dem. Og hvor er vi så ikke henne? Nej, venstrefløjen og islam må ikke kritiseres – fra 7. juni 2012:
muslim convert to Christianity beheaded in Tunisia – Michael Coren
muslim convert to Christianity beheaded in Tunisia
This is why islam, the sniveling paranoid mutant of world religions, can never triumph. It requires men to descend to the level of animals, to throw off intellect and live as a barbarian.
Most word religions have a concept of evil, but islam is evil incarnate.

Graphic Video: Muslims Slaughter Convert to Christianity in Tunisia
by Raymond Ibrahim – June 4, 2012
Liberal talk show host Tawfiq Okasha recently appeared on “Egypt Today” airing a video of Muslims slicing a young man’s head off for the crime of apostasy, in this case, the crime of converting to Christianity and refusing to renounce it. The video—be warned, it is immensely graphic—is embedded here (the actual execution appears from minute 1:13-4:00). For those who prefer not to view it, a summary follows:
A young man appears held down by masked men. His head is pulled back, with a knife to his throat. He does not struggle and appears resigned to his fate. Speaking in Arabic, the background speaker, or “narrator,” chants a number of Muslim prayers and supplications, mostly condemning Christianity, which, because of the Trinity, is referred to as a polytheistic faith: “Let Allah be avenged on the polytheist apostate”; “Allah empower your religion, make it victorious against the polytheists”; “Allah, defeat the infidels at the hands of the Muslims”; “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.”

More on the Slaughtered Convert to Christianity
by Raymond Ibrahim – June 5, 2012
I just received an email from the editor of a large website, who posted my story from yesterday about the slaughtered apostate. He writes:
The story generated a huge number of commentaries from readers, some of them originating from Muslim Countries. They harshly dispute and deny the veracity of the facts you mention in your paper. Some argue that this abomination did not take place in Tunisia—and I do believe so—but somewhere in Iraq, that the young man is not a Christian but a Shiite, that he was not slaughtered for apostasy but for being a spy of the Americans, and so on… It’s true that the facts are not properly documented : we don’t know even the date of this event, the place, the name of this unfortunate young man… Do you have any additional details and data to help answering ? Many thanks for your kind and urgent attention.
The new Ennahda Islamist rulers are keeping Ben Ali’s autocratic laws to persecute not only political opponents, but also those who deviate from the required path of religion.
After two Tunisian citizens were condemned to a seven-year prison term for publishing writings perceived as offensive to Islam on March 28, Tunisian journalist Najoua Jo wrote, “In today’s Tunisia, has anyone the right to be an atheist and to publicly avow it? The answer is clear: it is no.” It was published by the Tunisian media outlet, Webdo.tn.
Islam er misforstået, hører vi. Igen og igen. Det er så imamsk det hele. Fra Aramaic Broadcasting Network 4. juni 2012:

Egypt’s Nightmare: Islamists or the Military?
By Nonie Darwish – June 6, 2012
The laws of nature are uncovering Egypt’s nightmare after the revolution when Egyptians are suddenly facing the limitations and suppression Islam has created in their political institutions over decades and even centuries. The political drama keeps unfolding exposing only two deeply rooted forces who are the winners in the recent elections, namely the Islamists represented in the Muslim Brotherhood, or Askar, Arabic for military.
When the Egyptians where given the chance to vote in their president for the first time in their over five thousand year long history, they found themselves instinctively electing Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood and Ahmed Shafiq, a no nonsense military leader and former Prime Minister. One of two men will win soon in the general election. The first represents a Sharia based Theocracy, while the second who is the lesser of two evils, represents the military. Traditionally the Muslim world has resorted to brute military force as the only way to restrain and contain the Islamists. But either choice has never accomplished a democracy based on freedom of citizens. Thus either choice for Egyptians will bring them back to square one; back to tyranny under either system, a destiny no Muslim state has succeeded to avoid.
Guest: Geert Wilders, author of, “Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me.”
Sandheden om hvad der udløste det hollandske valg den 15. september 2012, er omsider kommet frem. Statsminister, Mark Rutte, angreb Geert Wilders på det groveste - midt under budgetforhandlingerne - og sagde, at han ville ødelægge Frihedspartiet, som Wilders er formand for. Derfor udvandrede Wilders fra forhandlingerne og opsagde aftalerne om at fungere som støtteparti. Wilders’ modstand imod alt for drastiske besparelser på statens budgetter har ellers hidtil fået hele skylden. Nis News skrev den 15. maj 2012:
Premier Mark Rutte’s reputation as the good-humoured gentleman has been dented now that it has emerged that he made a fierce attack behind the scenes on Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders.
Rutte was confronted on TV programme Pauw&Witteman last Friday evening with a rumour that he threatened to “decimate” the PVV if Wilders did not sign up to an accord for 14 billion euros in budget cutbacks for 2013. Rutte confirmed that he “may have said something like this”.
Wilders said Saturday evening on TV programme EenVandaag that Rutte’s words had been even stronger. According to the PVV leader, the premier told him “I will break that little party of yours down to the last seat.”
“I cannot explain to anyone that these parties signed a blank cheque of 40 billion euros for Greece and perhaps for Spain, Italy and other countries while we demand 12 billion euros from the Dutch citizens,” Wilders told TV station RTL 7.
Og der er mere uenighed:
Hvis Holland skal tilslutte sig EUs stabilitetspagt, European Stability Mechanism, ESM, skal vælgerne spørges først. Det siger Geert Wilders, der nu anlægger sag ved de hollandske domstole. Den afgående regering har ikke handlet lovligt ved at underskrive aftalen, som i følge Wilders er suverænitetsafgivelse. Det skriver flere kilder, blandt andre Expatica.
Opdatering 5. juni 2012: Wilders tabte retssagen, skriver flere kilder blandt andre The Irish Times og Expatica. Wilders overvejer at anke sagen, skriver Reuters.
Jeg har lavet et lille overblik over noget af Wilders rolle i hollandsk politik det sidste halve år:
Bill Gates, Desmond Tutu og Bob Geldof følte sig kaldet til at blande sig i den politiske debat i april. De synes ikke om Wilders Frihedspartis (PVV) forslag om at skære i bistandshjælpen til udviklingslande. Det er som bekendt EU, der har krævet voldsomme stramninger i det offentliges udgifter. Tutu og Geldof har haft læserbreve i hollandske aviser og Bill Gates har ringet til en tv-kanal, skriver Radio Netherlands Worldwide. Avisen Volkskrant modtog også en opringning, fortæller DutchNews. Gates har desuden inviteret Wilders på besøg i Afrika for at se på udviklingsprojekter, fortæller The Irish Times.
I april 2012 viste en Klout-undersøgelse, at Geert Wilders ligger på top 10 over de mest indflydelsesrige hollændere på Twitter.
Wilders protesterede over den tyrkiske islamist og præsident Abdullah Güls tre dage lange besøg i Holland. Af en eller anden urimelig grund har hollænderne valgt at markere 400 året for diplomatiske forbindelser mellem de to lande. Fra Expatica den 18. april 2012:
“The Turkish president described Mr Wilders as an Islamophobe in an interview with popular daily De Telegraaf. He said the Freedom Party leader expressed extremist views that fostered radicalism.”
Og Wilders svarede via Twitter – fra armenske Panorama:
“Islamist Gul, who persecutes the Christians, attacks the Kurds and is in friendly relations with Hamas, complaint of intolerance. Typical Turkish humor.”
“Turkey has a number of shortcomings – imprisonment of journalists covering criticism, denial of Armenian Genocide, pressure against national minorities. However, due to Kemal Ataturk’s advanced visions Turkey managed to become a strategic ally of the West and shared military and diplomatic cooperation with Israel for so long.”
Holland bør droppe euroen og reintroducere hollandske gylden, synes Wilders, der i marts måned plæderede for en folkeafstemning, fremgår det af Bloomberg. En analyse lavet af det britiske Lombard Street Research viser, at den hollandske økonomi er alvorligt hæmmet af euro-medlemsskabet, fortæller The Independent.
Wilders Frihedsparti har oprettet en hjemmeside og en hotline, hvor hollændere kan indrapportere de problemer, de oplever med østarbejdere, skriver Deutsche Welle. Hjemmesiden hedder “Meldpunt Midden en Oost Europeanen“. EU, Polen, Bulgarien, Rumænien, Ungarn, Tjekkiet, Slovakiet, Slovenien, Estland, Letland, Lithauen, - har klaget over denne “hadetale”. Tilsidst blev den hollandske regering presset til også at lægge afstand til initiativet. Som man kan regne ud, handler det først og fremmest om østeuropæernes ofte meget kriminelle adfærd. Wilders vil heller ikke have Bulgarien og Rumænien med i Schengen. Midt i februar havde PVVs site mere end 40.000 kommentarer. Da havde det kun været åbent i en uge. Wilders har da også svaret kritikerne med et “Mind your own business”, skriver The Global Post. EU-Kommissionens danske cheftalskvinde, Pia Ahrenkilde-Hansen, udtalte i følge NYDailyNews, at hjemmesiden muligvis kunne være et brud på EUs hade-tale-love. Jojo.
I januar foreslog Wilders, at den hollandske regering undskylde deportationen af landets jøder under anden verdenskrig. Mere end 100.000 jøder blev deporteret til dødslejre i Tyskland og Polen. Den hollandske stat solgte de ejendomme, de myrdede jøder var tvunget til at forlade, skriver World of Judaica. I dag bor der kun 30.000 jøder i Holland. Mark Ruttes regering har svaret, at de vil overveje forslaget. Der er til dato ikke kommet noget svar på Wilders anmodning.
Den hollandske regering bør arbejde på at få Tyrkiet ud af Nato, mener Wilders’ Frihedsparti i følge The Jerusalem Post, som skrev om det allerede i december 2011.
Den egyptiske regering protesterede allerede i november 2011 over Geert Wilders nye bog, skriver Wilders på sin blog. Egypterne anklagede Wilders for at bagvaske islam og den hollandske ambassadør i Egypten blev kaldt i samråd i det Egyptiske udenrigsministerium. Ingen kan imidlertid have læst sig til den antagelse, – bogen er som bekendt først udkommet for få uger siden.
Der ligger et ret godt interview med Geert Wilders hos The Daily Caller. Jeg har linket til det en gang før og nu gør jeg det igen:
Apparently Christopher Dickey, who for many years had a photograph of Yasir Arafat hanging on his Newsweek office wall in Paris, thinks that “someone could get hurt” if Geert Wilders continues to say what, for the well-informed, is obvious: that what is in Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira, if taken to heart, makes every Believer a menace, in posse and, whenever the spirit moves him, in esse, to all non-Muslims. Apparently Christopher Dickey has not noticed the 2.5 million black African Christians killed in the southern Sudan by northern Muslims, never noticed what happened to the Igbo and other Christians before, during, and after the Biafra War, has not noticed what has been happening to Christians in Iraq and in Pakistan and in Indonesia [...]

Fra Heritage Foundation den 24. maj 2012 – PowerPoint-præsentation i pdf kan ses her. Vi får en teoretisk gennemgang af holdningsændringer i officielle udmeldinger om terror og islam. Ordforbud for eksempel. “Islamisk terror” er et eksempel på en formulering, man ikke længere anvender. Becky Norton Dunlop indleder:
Fighting the Ideological War: Lessons from the United Kingdom and the United States
The Obama Administration has had a longstanding policy of trying to remove all reference to Islam and Islamic ideology from discussions about terrorism. Widespread changes have been instituted in counterterrorism training with the result that many U.S. experts on radical Islam have now been sidelined and are restricted in what they may or may not teach about Islamic ideology.
For some time the British government pursued a similar policy. However, seeing its shortcomings, they recently changed course. Recognizing the centrality of Islamist ideology to domestic radicalization, the United Kingdom re-launched the “Prevent” strategy. This strategy not only examines Islamist ideology but also directly confronts it. As the UK government’s June 2011 framework document states, “The Prevent program we inherited from the last Government was flawed… It failed to confront the extremist ideology at the heart of the threat we face.” So as the British government is moving deeper into the study and confrontation of Islamist ideology, the United States is moving in the very opposite direction.
Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo has worked closely with the United Kingdom’s police force as well as with U.S. law enforcement and military authorities. Join us as he discusses this critical component of U.S. counter-terrorism strategy and shares his insights into these two different strategies.
Vi snupper lige endnu et indslag fra Wilders besøg i USA. Fox News sendte klippet den 17. maj 2012:
Compare the Koran to Mein Kampf and get charged with a crime.
Geert Wilders, author of the book “Marked For Death” talks with Stossel about “free speech” and how it’s fine for everyone just as long as no one disagrees. Unfortunately for Geert Wilders he lives in the european socilist state where such things as speaking the truth can get you thrown in jail or in his case you’ll get a bounty on your head as well as charged with a crime. This is the sort of thing that liberals want for America, it’s already the case that people like Al Sharpton can call whites ANYTHING he feels like but for a white person to do the same to blacks would be met with charges of racisim and worse.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: A Secular Spring or an Islamist Winter? – April 14, 2012
This is a brilliant speech: Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a human rights activist especially for the rights of women under Islam. She is utterly fearless in her condemnation of repressive regimes and religions where the rights of dissidents, male or female are oppressed.
She was born in Somalia, the daughter of a political opponent of the ruling dictator. Raised as a Muslim, she attempted to be a devout believer but fled an arranged marriage to what initially was a sanctuary in Holland. She became a Dutch citizen and was elected to parliament from 2003 to 2006.
She left the Netherlands after the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh who was making a film about the treatment of women under Islam. Ayaan had scripted the film and she was targeted as being the next to die.
Ayaan now lives and works in Washington DC and her current work is researching the relationship between Islam and the West. She is very interesting and critical about the failure of Western liberals to defend free speech and the rights of women under Islam.
She speaks here at the 2012 Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne in a talk entitled “The Arab protests of 2011: A secular Spring or an Islamist Winter?”
Videoen kan også ses her eller her hos australske ABC. Og en prisoverrækkelse – der tales tysk i starten. Leon de Winter taler efter godt 3 minutter – på engelsk. Hirsi Ali taler efter ca. 19 minutter. Vi hører blandt andet om tragedien i Norge:

Ayaan Hirsi Ali on Protecting Women From Militant Islam
Even in democratic nations, mothers and daughters are held back from basic freedoms
By Kathleen Burke – May 15, 2012
In the United States, author and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali continues her work on behalf of Muslim women and girls with her eponymous Ayaan Hirsi Ali Foundation. She spoke with Smithsonian about the Foundation’s mission and its ongoing efforts to protect Muslim women in this country from oppression and violence.
Could you discuss the work of the AHA Foundation, the essence of your goal and what your future plans are?
The foundation’s mission is to protect women from violence justified in the name of culture and religion. By religion, first and foremost I mean militant Islam. The violence that these women encounter is the result of their desire to be free. The freedom they seek is to pursue education; freedom to work, and most importantly, freedom to own their own bodies. To be mistresses of their own bodies, they want to choose their own mate, to choose how many children they have. In some Muslim households, this is not possible.
Den dødbringende fortælling om Det Arabiske Forår spiller på den vestlige kulturs gode ønsker for alle. Det forekommer langt mere anstændigt at håbe, at folk, der så længe har været undertrykt, omsider vil kunne ånde frit, end at erkende, at de simpelthen er blevet trætte af den gamle kalif og vil have en ny.

Klumme af Kit Louise Strand – 11. maj 2012
Efter årtiers politisk korrekte udmeldinger er der bevægelse i Institut for Menneskerettigheder, men direktøren har stadig ikke forstået, hvad menneskerettigheder går ud på.
Man skal ikke tillade, at forskellige meninger kommer frem. Kun ens egen mening skal være tilladt. Ellers kan man jo heller ikke demonstrere hvor tolerant, man dog er. Vel? Dette begavede venstrefløjsfænomen dyrker man også på University of New Mexico. Men en del bedsteforældre med slaw i, syntes ikke, at halalhippier skulle ødelægge Darwishs forelæsning og gennede brøleaberne ud. Det skrev National Review Online om allerede tilbage i februar. Dengang gad jeg ikke at blogge om bataljen og det gider jeg sådan set stadig ikke. Så: det kan ikke blive til ret meget mere end video.

University of New Mexico Occupiers’ War on Free Speech
by Nonie Darwish on Feb 27th, 2012
In response to the resurgence of anti-Israel activities by the Arab Student Association and their left-wing anti-Israel “un-Occupy” backers, I was asked to speak at the University of New Mexico on February 23rd by the Israel Alliance group. The title of my speech was “The Dark Side Of Revolutions In The Middle East and The Implications For Israel,” which is the subtitle of my new book, “Devil We Don’t Know.”
Even though the Arab students were having an “apartheid wall” and a stop Islamophobia event on March 2nd, together with the local mosque, they urged the Israel Alliance group to dis-invite me because, as they put it, I am an Islam hater and Islamophobe. They presented them with a video of myself that was highly edited in which I spoke in a rally on the honor-killing of a woman in Florida, and I dared to blame Islamic law for the horrific murder of thousands of women annually. They did not succeed in dis-inviting me.

End the Shariah War on Women
Og den meget lange følgetekst – Clare Lopez dukkede aldrig op:
This Thursday, May 10th, at 10:00 a.m. in the Bloomberg Room of the National Press Club, the Center for Security Policy launches a national public education campaign to ask America’s leaders to end the real ‘war on women’ — the Shariah War On Women. (http://www.theshariahwaronwomen.org)
Shariah law oppresses women’s liberties and human rights, denying them their unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness:
* Life: Shariah destroys women’s lives through honor killings, physical abuse, female genital mutilation, and rape. This occurs not only to Muslim women but also to Christian and secular women through acts of kidnapping, imprisonment and murder.
* Liberty: Shariah crushes women’s liberty through censoring free speech, freedom of religion and freedom of association.
* Pursuit of Happiness: Shariah punishes women’s pursuit of happiness by denying equal rights and freedom in marriage, divorce, child custody, education and employment
A panel discussion, moderated by Center President Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. and featuring several prominent civil liberties and human rights activists, will launch the national campaign to end the Shariah War On Women. Panelists will include:

Geert Wilders & Kathleen Walter – Islam: Culture of Barbarism – 04 May 2012
From Newsmax.TV: Wilders is a critic of Islam, campaigning against what he sees as the “Islamisation of the Netherlands.” He has compared the Quran to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and has called for the book to be banned. He also advocates ending immigration from Muslim countries.
There is only one Islam; this is the Islam of the holy book the Quran and the Islam of the prophet Mohammed. It’s not so much a religion, it’s an ideology, Wilders said.

Resisting threat of fanatical Islam
West must not surrender permanent liberty for temporary tolerance
By Geert Wilders – May 4, 2012
As I write these lines, there are police bodyguards at the door. No visitor can enter my office without passing through several security checks and metal detectors. I have been marked for death. I am forced to live in a heavily protected safe house. Every morning, I am driven to my office in the Dutch Parliament building in an armored car with sirens and flashing blue lights. When I go out, I am surrounded, as I have been for the past seven years, by plainclothes police officers. When I speak in public, I wear a bulletproof jacket.
Who am I? I am neither a king nor a president, nor even a government minister; I am just a simple politician in the Netherlands. But because I speak out against expanding Islamic influence in Europe, I have been marked for death. If you criticize Islam, this is the risk you run. That is why so few politicians dare to tell the truth about the greatest threat to our liberties today. The Islamic threat to the West is worse than the communist threat ever was. Think of it this way: Politicians who warned against the Soviet threat weren’t forced into hiding, as we who speak out against Islam are.

I am happy to be in New York again, even though in my country today it is Queen’s day, a national celebration. This is why I am wearing my orange tie.
Thank you, Nina, for organizing this event and giving me the opportunity to address all of you. It is always good to be among friends. It is an honor to be here in the presence of so many people who care for the preservation of freedom in our civilization.
It is great to be in America, the beacon of liberty, the land of the free, the land where people are still allowed to speak freely. I know what I am talking about. I was acquitted after a legal ordeal that lasted almost 3 years. I had been brought to court for criticizing Islam.

Muslims upset as Wilders promotes new book
03/05/2012
According to the largest cooperation group of Muslim countries, Geert Wilder’s new book is nothing but a repetition of his previous hate campaign against Islam, which is actually an abusive use of freedom of expression.
A spokesperson for the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation OIC expressed dismay at the publication of Wilders’ new book, “Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me.” According to the OIC’s website, “the new book is nothing but a repetition of Mr. Wilders campaign of hate mongering against Islam in abusing of his right of freedom of expression. Suffice it to say that his activities have been denounced and disavowed by the Dutch Government, Dutch Parliament, the European Parliament as well as the Council of Europe.”

Geert Wilders: ‘Marked for Death: Islam’s War against the West and Me’
By Soeren Kern – April 30th, 2012
Islam is waging an aggressive war against the West; nothing less than the future of individual liberty is at stake.
The conflict is civilizational in scope and is being fought on two primary fronts: Europe and America.
The Islamization of the West is being aided and abetted by multiculturalists in Europe and America who are enforcing politically correct curbs on free speech designed to silence all criticism of Islam.

On GBTV Geert Wilders Sits down w/ Glenn Beck and Talks Europe, Islam, Terrorism, & America
On May 3rd Dutch Parliament member Geert Wilders sat down with Glenn Beck and talked about the state of Europe, America and the impact Radical Islam and Terrorism are having upon the world.
Marked for Death
Fanatics, terrorists, and appeasers have tried everything to silence Geert Wilders, Europe’s most controversial Member of Parliament—from putting him on trial to putting a price on his head. But Wilders refuses to be silenced—and one result is the book you have in your hands.
For years, from his native Netherlands, Wilders has sounded the alarm about the relentless spread of Islam in the West. And he has paid a steep personal price, enduring countless death threats and being forced into a permanent state of hiding.
Now, for the first time, Wilders offers a full account of his long battle against the zealots who have already slaughtered his countryman Theo van Gogh—whose killer also threatened to murder Wilders himself.
In Marked for Death, Wilders reveals: How—and why—liberal politicians, including Barack Obama, downplay the Islamic threat The systematic suppression of free speech through lawsuits, prosecutions, threats, and violence meted out against Islam’s critics The untold story: how Islamic groups are redefining human rights to suppress non-Muslims everywhere The true, bloody history of Islam’s spread throughout the world How the West can defend itself against an existential enemy determined to conquer the globe
Expelled from Britain, banned from Indonesia, denounced by the UN Secretary General, prosecuted in court for his beliefs, forced into government safe houses, and constantly threatened with death, Geert Wilders is unbowed and unapologetic. Marked for Death is a stark warning about a growing threat to our liberties written by a man who has lost his freedom—and would not see the rest of us suffer the same fate.

“If someone comes in our house and kicks in our door, and you hear a bunch of noise, I want you to hide. And if you hear me screaming – if you hear me screaming and crying, stay hiding because I’m more worried about you than I am about myself.”

Et klart mønster tegner sig. Konservative medier får etiketten ‘højreorienteret’, hvorimod venstreorienterede får ‘uafhængig’, ‘velanset’ eller ‘troværdig’.
