Hello Robert,

On Tuesday May 10 2011 09:59, you wrote to me:

It is not an "inconvenient truth", it is a convenient lie. Yes, there is the
Sharia. But Christians and Jews also includes codes of law. No meat on Friday
for the catholics, no pig meat for the Jews. No sex during the monthly periods.
Male circumcison for the Jews. Absolute rest on Sunday for the Xians and on
Saturday for the Jews.

But like the Jews and the Christians only a small fraction of fundamentalist
Muslims takes these codes to the letter. The rest happily ignores them when
they find it convenient.

Plus that Wilders cheats with the statistics. He claims the Netherlands is
overrun by Muslim immigrants who on top of it reproduce like rabbits. Both
claims are not supported by the figures.

Wilders is a demagogue.

Ah yes, mixed up two letters again...

Who was never popular except in a very small circle and who is almoist
forgotten by now.

You are totally wrong there. It is NOT the mainstream politicians that are
trying to silence Wilders. It was just a small group of people with long toes
that forced this trial to go on. I said forced, because the district attorney
did not want to. They got a judge to rule that Wilders MUST be prosectuted and
so the DA had no choice but to go ahead. It may still be ruled a mistrial.


Cheers, Michiel
