Geert Wilders speaks in LA

The text of his speech:

Ladies and gentlemen.

It is really great to be here in California. It is very kind of you to give me the opportunity to escape from the wind, cold and rain in my own beautiful country, the Netherlands. I thank the David Horowitz Freedom Center for inviting me. Ladies and gentlemen, free speech is no longer a given in Europe. What we once considered a natural element of our existence, our birth right, is now something we once again have to battle for. To exercise free speech has become a dangerous activity.

As you may know, I will be prosecuted in the Netherlands, because of my short documentary Fitna and my view concerning what some call ‘a religion of peace’. On top of that, also France and Jordan are considering to prosecute me for my view on Islam and the United Kingdom government did not allow me to enter their country. And the President of Indonesia declared that I will never be allowed to enter Indonesia as long as I live.
So a special thanks to the United States border police for letting me enter this country. It feels good to be allowed entering a country once in a while.

But ladies and gentlemen, before I talk about freedom of speech, I will say a few things about Islam and Sharia law first.

Allow me to give you a brief introduction to Islam, an Islam 101. The first thing everyone needs to know about Islam is the importance of the Koran. As you probably know the Koran calls for submission, hatred, violence, murder, terrorism and war. The Koran calls upon Muslims to kill non-Muslims. The Koran describes Jews as monkeys and pigs. The biggest problem is that the Koran is to be considered as Allah’s personal word, with orders that need to be fulfilled regardless of place or time. That’s the reason why the Koran is not open to discussion or interpretation. It is valid for every Muslim and for all times. Therefore, there is no such thing as moderate Islam. Sure, there are a lot of moderate Muslims, but a moderate Islam does not exist. As the Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan once said: “There is no moderate Islam, Islam is Islam”. For once I have to agree with this islamist Turkish Prime Minister.

And let it be clear to anyone: I have no problem with muslims, my fight is not against any person or group of persons. However, I have enormous problems with the dangerous and violent islamic ideology.

The second thing everyone needs to know about Islam is the importance of the prophet Muhammad. His behaviour is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Well let me tell you the truth about this so called prophet anyway. Muhammad was a warlord, a conqueror, a pedophile and a mass murderer. Islamic tradition tells us how he married and consumed the young girl Aisha long before she was ten years of age and how he fought in battles, how he murdered his enemies, how he slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. For millions of Muslims the Koran and the life of Muhammad are not ancient history but an inspiration. And if you critisize either the Koran or the Prophet or Islam as such, you better be prepared to face the consequences. You will receive death threats from all over the world and will be taken to court all over the world. Your national flag will be burned and your embassies might be set on fire, your country could face economical boycots and the political leaders of your own home country will not support you but appease muslims and muslim governments, join them in their political correct outrage and label you as a radical or xenofobe. When critisism becomes unpleasent freedom of speech has to take another lane.

About Islam. Let no one fool you about Islam being just a religion. Sure, it has its God – Allah – a holy book - the Koran -, temples - mosques - and even a here-after. If you murder enough Jews you might even get 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology and a totalitarian ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every man and woman. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life and society and prohibits individual, political and religious rights and freedoms. Islam is not compatible with our Western civilization or democracy, nor will it ever be, because Islam doesn’t want to coexist, it wants to submit and set the entire agenda. Islam means submission from muslims over non-muslims - kafirs - like you and me, so there cannot be any mistake about its goal. Islam’s end goal, for all time, is to dominate, to dominate and once again dominate and establish a world ruled by Islam.

That, ladies and gentlemen, that is why Winston Churchill compared the Koran to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf as the famous Italian writer Orianna Fallaci did and why the brave Californian psychiatrist dr. Wafa Sultan rightfully said about the clash between the West and Islam that it is a clash between civilization and backwardness, between the civilized and the primitive, between rationality and barbarity.

As you know, the current Islamization of Europe is not an invasion like those we have seen in the past. This time it is not a military invasion with swords, this time we have to deal with a stealth invasion. Nowadays, the armies are replaced by cultural relativism and mass-immigration. It is this dangerous cocktail that is the main cause of the Islamization and is responsible for the introduction of Sharia law in Europe.

As you know, Sharia is Islamic law, effective in barbaric countries such as Saudi-Arabia and Iran. Beheadings, hangings, chopping off hands and feet, stoning to death, lashings, it all happens because Sharia law prescribes it. Now, radical Muslims want to implement Sharia law into our Western societies. And they are very successful in doing so, helped by the Western cultural relativists – the ‘useful idiots’, as former Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin described the unknowingly who helped his cause. In my favourite country Britain, Sharia courts are now officially part of the legal system. Very few people over here are aware of that. They have been empowered to adjudicate on financial disputes, divorces and domestic violence. And there are much more examples of the rising of Sharia in Europe: Halal food is served in many schools and universities, more women every day are forces to wear the burqa or niqaab, Islamic banks are mushrooming and polygamy, female genital mutilation, honor killings and Muslim men who refuse to shake women hands are all part of 2009-Europe.

A few weeks ago a British Muslim leader told of his vision of Britain under Sharia law. According to the British Evening Standard Anjem Choudary wants a pure Islamic state with Sharia law in Britain, ‘the flag of Allah’ flying over Downing Street. Ladies and gentlemen, this would mean the end of our precious liberties even though with Gordon Brown in office one might not easily see the difference.

Sharia means the end of our hard won freedom, for Sharia law denies the equality of men and women and Muslims and non-Muslims, it does not allow Muslims to leave Islam, renegades, apostates must be killed according to Islam as you know. Sharia advocates slavery and does not recognize democracy. As a matter of fact sharia is exactly the opposite of democracy.

Unfortunately, among European Muslims the support for this creeping Sharia law is substantial. Last year the British Center for Social Cohesion released a survey held under British Muslim students. Some outcomes were horrifying: 32 percent said killing in the name of religion can be justified and 40 percent supported the introduction of Sharia law into British law.

But please be aware, also the USA is in the process of Islamization. There are numerous examples. For instance: Muslim cab drivers who refuse to transport passengers possessing alcohol or guide dogs. Muslim students demanding separate housing on campus, and separate hours for Muslim women in gyms and swimming pools. USA journalist who self-censor themselves afraid of being sewed and taken to court.

As I said, these Muslims are aided by present-day ‘useful idiots’. A classic example is the former Dutch Attorney General, Mr. Donner. After Dutch film maker and Islam criticaster Theo van Gogh was murdered by a Jihadist in the streets of Amsterdam, he was of the opinion that blasphemy should no longer be a dead letter, and a few years later he even said the Netherlands should introduce Sharia law if a two third majority would support it.

Fortunately some politicians are not giving in. Former Republican US Congressman Tom Tancredo is one of those heroes. Last year he introduced his counter-Sharia ‘Jihad Prevention Act’. This bill would bar the entry of people who advocate Sharia law. This is exactly what the West needs: Brave leaders who have the courage to do something against the growing Islamization.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have to stop the Islamization of the West. Because if we don’t, we will roll back centuries, it will mean the end of our civilization. If we don’t act now, we will betray our Western values, we will lose our culture, we will lose our democracy and we will lose the dearest of our many liberties: the right to speak our mind.

The biggest disease of Europe today is cultural relativism. The fault concept of political correct liberals that all cultures are equal. Well let me tell you: they are not. Our Western culture based on christianity, judaism and humanism is far better than the barbaric islamic culture,

Let me also tell you that Israel is one of us. The jihad against Israel is a jihad against the entire West. Its not a territorial dispute and the Islamic jihad will not stop after territorial concessions. We all should support Israel, the only democracy in the entire Middle East.

Unfortunately, as I stated in the beginning of my short lecture, free speech already is no longer a given in Europe.

Last February, I tried to visit Britain, a fellow EU country. I was invited to give a speech in the House of Lords. However, upon arrival at Heathrow airport, I was refused entry into the UK, and sent back to the Netherlands. I would have liked to be able to remind the audience of a great man who once spoke in the British House of Commons. In 1982 President Ronald Reagan – former Governor of this great state, California – gave a speech that very few Europeans appreciated. Reagan called upon the West to reject communism and defend freedom. He introduced a new phrase: ‘evil empire’. Reagan’s speech stands out as a clarion call to preserve our liberties. I quote: “If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly”. What Reagan meant is that you cannot run away from history, you cannot escape the dangers of ideologies that are out to destroy you. Denial is not an option.

Just like the British ban, the decision of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals to prosecute me for Fitna and my views on Islam, is a major blow dealt to freedom of speech in Europe. They are full-fledged attacks on freedom of speech in order to appease Muslims. Both are major victories for Islam and for all who hate freedom of speech.

Whether or not I end up in jail is not the most important issue. I gave up my freedom more than 4 years ago. I am under full-time police protection ever since, because of death threats from Muslims and terrorist groups linked to Al Qaeda. In the last few years, I lived in different safe houses, army barracks and yes, even in prison cells in order to be safe. But it’s not about me, it is not about Geert Wilders. The real question is: Will free speech be put behind bars?

We have to defend freedom of speech. I propose the withdrawal of all hate speech legislation in Europe. I propose a European First Amendment. In Europe we should defend freedom of speech like you Americans do. Recently I showed Fitna in the heart of your great democracy, in the US Senate at the invitation of Senator Kyle, while the European Parliament banned my film twice both in Strasbourg and Brussels. Europe should take America as a model. In Europe, freedom of speech should be extended, instead of restricted.

Besides a European First Amendment, I propose a boycott of the UN Human Rights Council. And not just because the worst violaters of human rights are member of this council. Recently this terrifying Council – even Saudi-Arabia has a seat – adopted a resolution that attempts to kill free speech and the concept of human rights. The resolution on ‘Combating defamation of religions’ does not protect individuals, but shields Islam from criticism. It calls upon UN member states to provide legal protection against defamation of religions. Of course this resolution initiated by the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) is about islam. The true goal of this resolution is to silence people who criticize Islam. Let there be no mistake about it: The UN Human Rights Council is a threat to free speech in the Western world.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is a few minutes to 12. In 2009-Europe, Islam is calling for our destruction and free speech is already on trial. If we go on like this, we are heading for the end of European civilization.

Fortunately, many people think like you and me about freedom and liberty. Millions know that liberty is the most precious of gifts. Freedom loving people have not yet forgotten to whom we owe our liberties. These were not offered to us on a silver platter, but were bitterly fought for. American soldiers fought, bled and died for the freedom of Europe. We owe something to these men and women. Their legacy cannot be squandered and given away. American soldiers did not die for an Islamized Europe. They died for a free Europe.

Ladies and gentlemen, if we want to defend our freedom, if we truly want to withstand the evil forces of Islam, if we want to survive, we need less cowards and more heroes. We need to prevail and therefore we have to elect new leaders, brave leaders. Leaders who will protect our values, our culture, leaders who will defend our freedom, leaders who will stop cultural relativism and mass immigration from islamic countries, leaders who will defy Islam. Leaders who are fighters like Churchill, Thatcher or Reagan instead of appeasers like Chamberlain and Gordon Brown. We have too many Chamberlains and Browns in world politics today. To many politicians who are giving in and giving up and bargaining our freedom away for political or economical benefit.

But let me end with some good news. The good news is that normal people in Europe like in my own country The Netherlands are increasingly fed up with politicians ignoring our fight for freedom. A growing amount of people want to stop the islamization of our societies. A growing amount of people want to fight for the freedom of speech and want to preserve our precious free societies, rule of law and democracy for our children and their children. The old political elite is losing support. New political parties who fight for freedom are gaining strength in many European countries. Like my own party - the Freedom Party - we started as a new party and took part in the national Dutch elections for the first time two and a half years ago. Then we became the fifth party in our ten party parliament with 9 seats out of the 150-seats our parliament has. But in the polls today we are the number 1 party of the Netherlands with not 9 but 32 parliamentary seats. An enormous increase of support. Many politicians of the old ruling parties in my country almost get a nervous breakdown by the idea that I might be the next Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

There is panic indeed in and between the old ruling political parties who thought they would never be challenged. Who thought that they would always be in power.
Well let me tell you they should be in panic. Because it will only get worse for them. Because we will not stop anymore. Not today, not tomorrow, old times are gone. The public want new politics and new vision and what they will get.

And we will never stop fighting for freedom. As a matter of fact, the more they threaten us with death threats, fatwas or their legal jihad, the more determined we become to continue.

My message to those who oppose our fight for freedom is as follows.
We will never compromise on freedom.
We will never compromise on liberty.
We will never appease to Islam.
We will never give in, never give up, never submit to totalitarianism again.

Ladies and gentleman we should all make a difference.
Because every individual has a responsibility to make a difference when our freedom is at stake.

And we can make a difference, we have the privilege to live in a democracy, and we should never take that for granted. We are responsible to preserve our freedom and we have to take that responsibility at whatever price it may cost.

For losing our freedom in no alternative.

Freedom is the most precious gift we can and must give to generations to come.

Ladies and gentleman thank you so much for kind attention.
It was a privilege for me to speak to you.

Thank you so much.

I like that part where he says he'd confront European imams with Mein Qurampf in his hands at a trial. Just like Pim Fortuyn did with a homophobic imam on a televised debate:

"One of Fortuyn's fears was of pervasive intolerance in the Muslim community. In a televised debate in 2002, "Fortuyn baited the Muslim cleric by flaunting his homosexuality. Finally the imam exploded, denouncing Fortuyn in strongly anti-homosexual terms. Fortuyn calmly turned to the camera and, addressing viewers directly, told them that this is the kind of Trojan horse of intolerance the Dutch are inviting into their society in the name of multiculturalism."

Should Wilders ever truly have to undergo such an unfair ordeal on obviously baseless charges, in order to appease mahoundians in the Netherlands, someone ought to make sure that his words in defense of the West and exposing Mein Qurampf and islam for what they are will be heard all over Europe.

My heart sank when Wilders used the term "radical Islam," which acknowledges the existence of some other kind of Islam, presumably a kinder, softer, Islam.

*** 33:21 ***

Naming is the basis of human language. Bad naming is the root of confusion of language, even the devolution of it.

I'd expect a pompous news entertainer like Bill O'Reilly to talk of moderate Moslems, but Wilders talking of radical Islam is disappointing.

Perhaps you are pointing to use of the term "radical Islam" somewhere other than the printed text of the speech. I have not had time to view the videos (due to slow dialup).
In the text Wilders refers to "radical Muslims" not "radical Islam."

As the Turkish P.M. said, "Islam is Islam" so, in that sense, "radical Islam" would be a sloppy and inappropriate use of the term, as you have suggested.

Even the term "radical Muslims" is misapplied as it suggests that those like bin Ladin are espousing an unusually extreme interpretation of Islamic beliefs.

It might be more appropriate to call people like bin Ladin "strict fundamentalist Muslims" and those who don't share his violent supremist views as "lax liberal Muslims."

I would have liked to have been present for this speech.

The following would have brought me to my feet:

"The old political elite is losing support. New political parties who fight for freedom are gaining strength in many European countries.

"And let it be clear to anyone: I have no problem with muslims, my fight is not against any person or group of persons. However, I have enormous problems with the dangerous and violent islamic ideology."

Ironically, this is a very condescending, paternalistic attitude to take to Muslims, as though they were animals or children who have no ethical volitional responsibility or even cognition when perpetrating the horrible, grotesque, ghoulish, intolerant, hateful, and ultra-violent acts that they do -- compounded by the massive co-dependent enabling going on among the majority of the rest of Muslims which is also behavior for which they should be accounted as human beings.

An evil book can't hurt you until a human being reads it and is motivated by it to do some evil act. Islam is the blueprint; the Muslim is the architect and builder of the deformed house. Islam is the gun; the Muslim is the shooter. Islam is the cookbook; the Muslim is the cook serving up poisoned food to innocent people.

To have "no problem" with Muslims who are the only reason why Islam is a problem, and to restrict the problem to an abstract Islam is, frankly, an asinine formulation. Can't we stop walking on fucking eggshells in timorous anxiety of what the PC MC people might think of us?

Yeah, as I've noted previously, this 'disclaimer' of his is a major problem. If there were no Muslims in the Netherland and all of Rotterdam was filled with Qur'ans, the Netherlands wouldn't have a problem of Islamization, Shariah or Jihad. But if the Netherlands had, say 10% of its population as Muslim, and there was a paucity of Qur'ans, it'd still have a problem.

The other thing is that towards the end of his Q&A session, he stated what he knows about the concept of taquiyya. Yet, elsewhere in the Q&A session, when discussing what to do about the problem of Muslims, he states that while he'd instantly deport anyone found to support Shariah, he'd welcome and help Muslims who don't support Shariah assimilate. Given what even he knows about taquiyya as evident at the end, how does he square these two stands of his? In other words, he's going to help Muslims who tell him that they don't support Shariah assimilate, even though he knows that they may be lying, and will only throw them out when he discovers that they are lying. Must say it's quite bright of him.

The other issue was his 'Islam is not a religion'. While we've discussed this to some length recently, why not just concede that it is a religion, but qualify that it's an evil religion, and therefore is a religion in the same way that Communism and Nazism are religions, rather than Christianity and Judaism?

If Islam in the US retains its status as a religion, it retains its tax free status...it also retains its status among those who think all religions are basically the same.

I would prefer to see it lose both...

For this, a constitutional amendment would be needed that explicitly excludes Islam from the definition of religion used to determine government benefits, such as a tax free status.

And we all know how easy those are, even for supposedly popular positions like gay marriage.

But re-defining Islam as 'not a religion' is next to impossible, given its meeting all the traditional definitions of religions - god, angels, demons (djinns), eschatology, and rituals. There is also the small problem that Islam has been recognized as a religion by the West throughout Western history - dating back from the crusades.

If one thinks that demonstrating that Islam isn't a religion of peace is tough enough, then just wait until one tries to demonstrate that Islam ain't a religion.

duh swami, you wrote: "If Islam in the US retains its status as a religion, it retains its tax free status...it also retains its status among those who think all religions are basically the same.....I would prefer to see it lose both..."

The problem I have with this line of reasoning is the same as I have with welfare cheats taking unlawful advantage of the taxpayer's generosity. The problem is both with welfare cheats and the system but more importantly it is the failure of the government welfare system generally. Government is the worst possible entity to dispense charity. Maybe it is also the worst possible entity to define the validity or the morality of a religion.

The government does not do that...In the US, you don't need anyone's permission to start a religion, anyone can do it and you can give yourself any title you want, Reverend, Deacon, Priest, etc. Where the government gets involved, is when you want to accept 'donations', and need a tax exempt status for your Church/religion...Even then, the requirements are superficial...You need to have a board of directors of at least five people, but three will work, you must recruit, have meetings, and publish literature.
The government does not care what you think, or who your god is...but if your paper work is in order, your request will be granted...Once the tax exemption is granted, the Church.
/Religious organization, can operate almost as if the IRS didn't exist.
This is because of the first amendment to the Constitution...Freedom of religion...
I don't think the founding fathers realized this could/would be turned into a weapon to be used against us...Even if Islam were reclassified into a 'political entity', it could still retain a tax exempt status, but the rules are tighter for non profits than religions, so Islam the political entity would have to be more accountable...
But in order to do this 'reclassification', the government would have to get into theology...With Rasool Obama scheming on the Constitution, that may be possible in the future, and we already knows who he favors...

You both make valid points. And I agree with InfidelPride, according to a "loose" definition of religion, Islam is a religion every much as Ba'al and Molech worship were loosely, religions. The fact that a belief system is a religion, does not make it necessarily benign. moral or just.

By far this was Geert Wilders best speech. If only America had more politicians, or a President with such a vision that recognizes the ever encroaching threat that is Islamic supremacy. A threat that is deadly to appease, to ignore,and to practice the warped perversion of multiculturalism on. Islam sees and knows what is really our achilles tendon and they are taking full adavantage of it.

I will be sending this speech out to to all my friends and highly recommending it as an important read.

Even our best anti-Dhimmi spokespersons take an essentially defensive posture towards Islam, and this includes Wilders, in addition to virtually all other anti-Dhimmi leaders. That's too bad, cuz leaving the root of the weed doesn't stop the weed. Hell, we're not even mowing the weed, we're merely decrying the stench and rash it causes.

This is the very definition of intellectual cowardice. Nothing against Wilders, but while he's shown physical courage he's not shown the other, more important, kind of courage.

*** 33:21 ***

Q: What's wrong with openly opposing a belief system in and of itself? We were ok doing that in against communism and fascism, so why not against Islam?

A: Its status as a religion.

I said it yesterday and was criticized on this forum by one member. I will say it again. Our biggest enemy is the political right here in America, due to disbelief, apathy or outright moral cowardice. Why do I say the right? Because the right should know better! You call in on any number of conservative talk radio stations - as I have - both local and national and try to say what Mr. Wilders is saying. Try to say anything remotely similar to what he is saying and you WILL be shut down. You will be lectured that you are "generalizing," or worse you will be called a racist. THIS is why we have B. Hussein in the White House. The left did not win. The right lost because of moral cowardice and political correctness. I have had it with rightist cowards.

In terms of the power structure, left and right have reached historic lows in ability, proficiency, even common sense...Every one of these people know that there is a question about Rasools eligibility and they all know he is hiding something...Hillary knows, Joe knows, Rahm knows, the White House Press Corps know, the MSM knows, they all know...Yet not one of them dares ask in public...or probably even in private...'What is the deal with your birth certificate Mr President"? Why don't you just produce it?...Not one...The Republican Kyl said the issue was settled because Snopes said so...They are all in complicity to a coup because they refuse to question it...Not one person in any level of US government can absolutely guarantee that we have an authentic person as President, not one, except the President, and we don't question him do we??

But here's my problem. As a life-long (38 year registered) conservative Republican, I hold my side to a higher moral and ethical standard. I have come to expect lies, fantasy and deception from the left. I do not expect it from the right. Conservatives do not embrace Utopian schemes of the left like spreading democracy amongst savages in the Middle East.

Let's take Winston Churchill for instance. Despite all his failings (and there were many) he was a conservative in the sense that he understood reality, history and thus the Nazi enemy; unlike the left in Great Britain. Conservatives should have a love of history and historical truth. Consequently, I was puzzled and later shocked that conservatives, conservative activists and Republican leaders like Rush Limbaugh, Sean, Hannity, etc., carried water for George W. Bush as he lied about our enemy and betrayed our only ally in the Middle East, Israel. Bush sold Israel out as conservatives looked on. I cannot take this sort of evil from my camp. Only today is Limbaugh criticizing Obama's fatuous statements about Islam in Turkey. Limbaugh hardly ever talks about Islam and then only in the context of our "war against terrorism," another big lie. Limbaugh supported Bush on the Dubai ports buy-out! There is plenty evil, lies and deception on the right. There is no excuse for this. I expect this from the left. Not from the right.

I was a call-in on the GGordon Liddy show yesterday morning (Apr 6) and got to say that Muslim immigrants want to bring Sharia with them. That Islamic Sharia Law condemns freedom of speech, religion, conscience and forbids equality between males and females and between believers and non-believers - Muslims and non-Muslims. And that since the essence of Sharia is a violation of human rights, we must REJECT it. I said I was OUTRAGED at the Administration for its behavior (re Islam/sharia, foreign affairs and its weakening the US) and was seeking ways to let the Administration know its behavior was imperiling our freedom and security. I was courteous, but did not hesitate. He said that people within the Administration listen to the program. By the end of the call I could tell Gman was probably uncomfortable with this, but can only guess if he is getting direct pressure to not openly dicuss it. I have talked with Joseph Farah, also, he knows the score and is very willing to talk specifics.

A moving speech from an excellent speaker.

Is Wilders speaking in New York State anytime soon? I am on exchange to an upstate college here, and would love to see if I could arrange something - either persuading Mr. Wilders to speak to a body of students here, or travelling to where he is to hear him.

We need more Geert Wilders in this world. Bravo, Geert! I was honoured to contribute to his defense fund and I would urge all freedom lovers to do the same. As we say in Sanskrit "Satyameva jayate" (Truth wins/prevails). Truth about Islam is the best weapon to destroy it.

A Thank You to the David Horowitz Freedom Center and to Geert Wilders. Let his voice ring clear and loud, never to be muzzled. If this canary dies, so may all freedom-loving people. A Leader, A Hero.
