Dutch, trouble causing MP

I am pleased that the British Government turned this man back. He was told he was persona non grata and decided to defy our Government and come anyway.

I am glad the British Government stood their ground.

The argument of free speech is very tenuous. Mr Wilders is free to post his opinions on the World Wide Web but not to come to our country and attempt to cause trouble.

 

LOL

<font size="2">The opening scenes show a copy of the Koran, followed by footage of the attacks on the US on 11 September 2001. </font></p>

<font size="2">The 17-minute film was posted on video-sharing website LiveLeak. </font></p>

<font size="2"><font color="#ff0000">Its planned release had sparked angry protests in Muslim countries. Dutch PM Jan Peter Balkenende said the film wrongly equated Islam with violence.</font> </font></p>

<font size="2">&quot;We believe it serves no purpose other than to offend,&quot; he said in a statement. </font></p>

<font size="2">&quot;But feeling offended must never be used as an excuse for aggression and threats.&quot; </font></p>

<font size="2">The film is called &quot;Fitna&quot;, a Koranic term sometimes translated as &quot;strife&quot;. </font></p>

<font color="#ff0000" size="2">Dutch broadcasters have declined to show the production by 44-year-old Freedom Party (PVV) leader Mr Wilders, who lives under police protection because of earlier death threats. </font></p>

<font size="2">The film ends with someone turning pages of a Koran, followed by a tearing sound. </font></p>

<font size="2">A text that appears on the screen says: &quot;The sound you heard was from a page (being torn from a) phone book. </font></p>

<font size="2">&quot;It is not up to me, but up to the Muslims themselves to tear the spiteful verses from the Koran.&quot; </font></p>

<font size="2">The film concludes: &quot;Stop Islamisation. Defend our freedom.&quot; </font></p>

<font size="2">Two years ago the publication in Denmark of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad sparked protests across the Muslim world. </font></p>

<font size="2">But Brahim Bourzik, a spokesman for a Dutch Moroccan group, told Reuters news agency he did not believe Mr Wilders' film would spark fury from Muslims in Holland. </font></p>

<font size="2">&quot;It is not a film, it is propaganda,&quot; he said. &quot;All the elements have been seen before, there is nothing new in it.&quot; </font></p>

<font size="2">The UK-based website which allowed the film to be posted online defended its decision on Thursday. </font></p>

&quot;<font size="2">LiveLeak.com has a strict stance on remaining unbiased and allowing freedom of speech so far as the law and our rules allow,&quot; it said in a statement posted online.</font> </p>

Anyone that exposes religious fundamentalism (particularly Islam) is ok by me

I'm an atheist and proud of it.

 

As pointed out on Question Time last night, hardly anyone had heard of him or his film before yesterday, now he gets loads of publicity and apparently the film is on Youtube, so sounds like job done!

 

mmm if only they were that quick to respond to someone like Abu Hamza and the multitude of islam extremists they've allowed to come in and say what they like.

The Dutch guy is clearly a ****, but I can make my own judgement on that, I don't need Jackie Smith to protect me from the likes of him.

 

Who's to protect us against Jacqui Smith ? </p>

Whatever you do, don't mention the Koran.
</p>

 

Thunder Cats?

 

Mmmm Cheetara

I'm all for the guy coming over here.

He's telling what appear to be truths about Islam, better to start a debate than shove it under the carpet.

If Muslims have nothing to hide then what is their problem.

Same goes for any religion, especially Scientology.

My main problem is the guys hair. It appears to be made from Mr Whippy ice cream, is that allowed?

 

Definitely needs to sort his hair out, maybe move towards a hitler style comb over.

excellent article.

 

For the last two weeks

I've been trying to remember what them bloody cats were called on that cartoon show. Thank you.

 

Happy to help, sorry I left it for so long.

 

If anything else is ever bothering me

Be sure to read my mind and post it on here won't you.

 

will do.

By the way, it's a cherbunkin.

 

although I think you really mean shubunkin, the spelling mistake in your head was probably getting in the way of the answer.

 

I think he really meant blumpkin.

 

I've got this image now, of you

Hiding behind Jackie Smiths skirt tails, peeping out from within her flowing gown to see if its safe to come out yet.
Followed by the realisation that actually its alright in here, so you have a good look round and then have a wnak

 

RE: I've got this image now, of you

I bet nowt's ever good enough for Jacqui - holidays, presents, doing the hoovering, she's never happy. And I bet she's mawngy in feather.

 

I was at Uni with Johann Hari

Bright lad. Extremely gay. Always on Big Brother programmes.

 

"extremely" gay? Did he condone stoning heterosexuals and that?
