Over on Your Freedom and Ours a thoughtful piece on the March 5 presentation of Fitna and subsequent press conference by Geert Wilders, Lord Pearson of Rannoch and Baroness Cox.
Particularly interesting (to foreign readers, but perhaps also to Dutch readers) is the section on Wilders' intended policies, of which we hear far too little, as Helen notes as well:
Elsewhere, some prominent US conservatives have decided that Europe's re-emerging self-esteem is somehow a prelude to a Europe-wide take-over by fascists. Glenn Beck is the most notable. But, as GoV points out, Charles Krauthammer and Bill Kristol have also joined this mad dash into little green insanity.
Or is there something more sinister going on? Several commenters made the observation that Fox is owned, in part, by Prince bin Talal of Saudi Arabia. This may have something to do with Fox actively fighting (and mis-labelling) criticism of islam and muslims. As remembered by Walid Shoebat:
[UPDATE001] Mark Steyn has his take on the situation here.

- Geert Wilders: 'our Culture ... Is Better Than The Retarded Islamic Culture'
He is so right. Of course, the dumbass PC/moral equivalence crowd will object, asking who are we to judge, telling us we are arrogant, and showing off the new suit of clothes the tailor made especially for them, but really, should we care? Would they...
- Muslim Public Affairs Council Of The Uk Is A Bit Perturbed At Geert Wilders Ascendency
Ha! Dutch Disgrace, Geert Wilders Aims for Power The extreme right-wing, anti-Muslim Dutch party, Party for Freedom, made shocking gains in this week’s Holland general elections. This fascist party, headed by the notorious Geert Wilders, has openly...
- Geert Wilders: "the Europeans Are Dhimmis... They Are Big Fat Cowards"
This video is great, not just because Wilder's message is important, but also because of the comedy that arises out of the subject matter, which is that Britain will not allow Wilders to speak. O'Reilly notes this with disgust, and then goes on...

Hat tip Jihad Watch.Here's the press release: AN EVENING WITH GEERT WILDERS Geert Wilders, chairman of the Freedom Party in The Netherlands (PVV), maker of the film Fitna, and brave fighter for Western values, will speak in Washington, DC, this...
- Saudi Ambassador: Wilders Must Apologize

Balanced over here, unhinged over there
Over on Your Freedom and Ours a thoughtful piece on the March 5 presentation of Fitna and subsequent press conference by Geert Wilders, Lord Pearson of Rannoch and Baroness Cox.
Particularly interesting (to foreign readers, but perhaps also to Dutch readers) is the section on Wilders' intended policies, of which we hear far too little, as Helen notes as well:
What are Mr Wilders’s policies? It’s worth asking that question since you will never find out the answer from the main-stream media whose denizens consider the state of Mr Wilders’s hair far more important.All in all, of you want a short concise introduction to the political views of Geert Wilders, or a proper report on the press conference, head on over.
Elsewhere, some prominent US conservatives have decided that Europe's re-emerging self-esteem is somehow a prelude to a Europe-wide take-over by fascists. Glenn Beck is the most notable. But, as GoV points out, Charles Krauthammer and Bill Kristol have also joined this mad dash into little green insanity.
Or is there something more sinister going on? Several commenters made the observation that Fox is owned, in part, by Prince bin Talal of Saudi Arabia. This may have something to do with Fox actively fighting (and mis-labelling) criticism of islam and muslims. As remembered by Walid Shoebat:
He himself (Prince bin Talal) said, ‘I just had to make a phone call to [tell them to] stop using the word Muslim’ regarding the rioting in France,” Mr. Shoebad notes. “Bill O’Reilly says to Ibrahim Hooper, the head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), that he is an upstanding citizen. Since when was the head of CAIR an upstanding citizen?Beck's interview with Geert Wilders has been taken down. But what were these Mr. Beck? Just empty words? Or are you selling out your friends and comrades in arms for a few measly pieces of silver? What are you, Mr. Beck?

Wilders does not need to be lectured condescendingly about distinctions within Islam, because he lives with them every day.Ouch! So true, but... Ouch!
