Hello Robert,

On Tuesday May 22 2012 07:42, you wrote to Joe Delahaye:

 JD>> Wilders is an idiot.

 RB> No, only the logical result of several developments that have taken

 RB> - Murder of Theo van Gogh

One can not blame an entire group od people for the acts of one extremist. The
killer of Theo van Gogh was arrested, tried and convicted. Can you say the same
about the killer of J.F. Kennedy?

 RB> - Murder threats and finally emigration of Ayaan Hirsi Ali after the
 RB> Dutch government refused to continue protection

You have the facts reversed. She did not immigrate /after/ her protection was
discontinued. Hirsji Ali /choose/ to leave the The Netherlands. Had she stayed,
she could have enjoyed protection as long as she wanted or needed. But she
/choose/ to live in the US, rather than here. So the Dutch government refused
to pay for her protection in the US. And rightly so. It was her own free choice
to leave The Netherlands, It was her own free choise to go to a country that I
won't buy grapefruits from, for similar reasons that I would not buy Outspan
oranges in the 60ties. From my perspective she is a coward and a turncoat. So
why would I - as a Dutch tax payer - continue to pay for her protection?

 RB>  - Realization that islamic extremists are not rare (Mohammed
 RB> cartoons) or non-violent -

Extremist are everywhere. Islamic extremists are no exception, but thet are no
more promeninent that others.

Wilders tries to make us believe otherwise by scare tactic, but the statistisc
do not support it.

 RB> Increased muslim immigration to western Europe, particularly Germany
 RB> and the Netherlands

As far as The Netherlands is conecerned, the facts do not support that. Wilders
tries to make us believe otherwise by scare tactis, but the statistics do not
support it.

 RB> In Belgium and France, public wearing of a burkah with face veil is
 RB> meanwhile illegal.

If Wilders had his way, it would have been illegal in The Netherlands as well.
Fortunately Wilders has made himself politically irrelevant, so he won't get
his way.

 RB> People in the countries mentioned above are starting to think that
 RB> foreigners who want to live in _their_ country should behave
 RB> accourding to _their_ rules

The vast majority of Muslim immigrants DO behave according to our rules. But of
course there are always exception and they are not limited to Muslims. Orthodox
Jews and Christains have similar probems...

 RB> People don't like the idea of "honor murders" or death threats or even
 RB> murders of "unbelievers" who dare to "critisize" muslims, Mohammed or
 RB> the Koran.

Just as they don't like Jewish extermists who try to prevent my town mayor from
walking past the graves of some German soldiers during a memorial. Or Christian
extremists who tell me I can't mowe my lawn on Sunday.

 RB>  They increasingly think that people who think like that should be put
 RB> on the next plane back home, where such attitudes are acceptable.

 RB> No, Wilders isn't an idiot. He's a sign of the times.

Wilders may not be an idiot, but he is an opportunist that tries to get votes
by scare tactics and hate speeches. I find him utterly detestable.

Fortunately he has made himself politically irrelevant. My prediction is that
he will soon disappear from the political arena, never to be heard of again.
Like Hirsji Ali. Good riddance.


Cheers, Michiel
