A Dutch conservative lawmaker said Wednesday he is making a film to highlight what he describes as "fascist" passages in the Quran, his latest high profile criticism of Islam. Wilders plans to depict parts of the Quran he says are used as inspiration "by bad people to do bad things." Less than 10 minutes long, the film is expected to air in late January. It will show "the intolerant and fascist character of the Quran," said Wilders, whose anti-Islam campaign helped his Freedom Party win nine seats in parliament in last year's election. In the past, Wilders has said that half the Quran should be torn up and compared it with Adolf Hitler's book "Mein Kampf." He has claimed the Netherlands is being swamped by a "tsunami" of Islamic immigrants. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007...lands-Anti-Quran-Film.php?WT.mc_id=rssap_news
Are the Dutch religious? And if conservative Dutch are anti-Islam, why do they take in Muslim immigrants?
Where are they coming from and why do they leave? Well, their not bad people. But can we put a cap on producing humans? Come on already.
The same reason there are Mexicans and Central Americans living in the USA---there is work, some symbolance of social infrastructure, and a better standard of living.
The difference is, inasmuch as I understand it, the immigration to Netherlands from North Africa (mainly?) is regulated by the government, so these people are Dutch citizens.
I'm so sick of everyone tip-toeing around these hyper-sensitive Muslim extremists, it's good to see someone right up in their face. This guy has balls, especially considering what happened to Van Gogh.
Yeah, this would really show the extremists. Bet everyone will follow the moderates now. All these immigrants coming from Sudan, Afghanistan will react very favorably. Lots of natives to go around. Why not ban immigration from Muslim countries?
Ofcourse there are religious people in the Netherlands, but as in any western country atheism is on the rise. You just can't say the Dutch are religious or not. Not every conservative is anti-Islam at all, you can't generalize it. Most Dutch people are very nuanced in their ways. LOL Yeah right, what do you think will happen then ? I have nothing against Muslims. But I do think it's time to close the borders to any immigrant except for the really needy. And they need to be dispersed throughout Europe in stead of coming all to the Netherlands. We are a small country.
I think they should just ban immigration from Muslim countries or of Muslims instead of fomenting hatred.
It will be a more honest expression of their anti-Islam or anti-Muslim stand. Its not like they want Muslims in the country, so why be PC about it? Just don't take them in.
From the attitude of the government of course. Would there be similar freedom of speech for Holocaust deniers?
As per the article above, they obviously consider all Muslims as fair game, since there is no attempt to separate the extremists, but target all Muslims under "freedom of speech" All this does is fuel extremism while making the moderates irrelevant.
People stuck in the middle of these ancient superstitions are getting sick and fucking tired. No matter if it is creationism being taught in the schools or having to pussyfoot around Islamic customs in our own non-islamic countries. We are getting sick of this bullshit.
