Members FreestyleIntruder Posted February 19, 2009 Members Posted February 19, 2009 ...yeah I know this is old news (well, a week old anyway), but I'm surprised there doesn't seem to have been a thread about this. Anyway for those who haven't been following, Mr Wilders is a Dutch MP who made a controversial film about Islam and terrorism. He was invited to show his film to the House of Lords but last week was denied entry by the Home Office on the grounds that his presence could incite public disorder. My thoughts on this subject are coterminous with those expressed by Majid Nawaz in this video: [YOUTUBE]VlpmjjJ8Aeo[/YOUTUBE] ( warning - video may contain Communist BBC propaganda :eek: ) What are all y'alls thoughts on this?
Members Goofball Jones Posted February 19, 2009 Members Posted February 19, 2009 My first thought would be "who is Geert Wilders" and my second thought would be that I'm kind of hungry and looking to get some French Fries or something. My third thought would be what does "coterminous" mean and I must go look that up sometime. Final thought would be that this is all free publicity for this film and it will make everyone want to see it.
Members Rippin' Robin Posted February 19, 2009 Members Posted February 19, 2009 This article from the Times pretty much sums up my thoughts about this. My signature comes from this article, by the way.

Members walkerci Posted February 20, 2009 Members Posted February 20, 2009 I'll have to agree with Robin. Apparently much of Europe has already been lost. It's quite acceptable for Islamists to deny the existence of the Holocaust, call for the destruction of Israel and it's people, sanction honor killings, for "holy men" to call for murders of "infidels", etc, etc. That's just freedom of speech, right? But don't dare question anything THEY do. Even a little cartoon is enough to drive them to riots and murder. I guess cultural/religious "sensitivity" is a one way street. Preaches to choir... Here is the deal people. When you decide to live in another country, it is YOUR responsibility to learn the language and conform to that land's customs, culture, and laws. Period. You do not have the right to demand that everyone else that is already there change to suit your preferences. If you don't like the way things are there, then shut up and go home.
Members Armchair Bronco Posted February 20, 2009 Members Posted February 20, 2009 I'll have to agree with Robin. Apparently much of Europe has already been lost. Sadly, this is also my opinion. If we really do enter a Global Depression, I predict a resurgence of extremist Right Wing / Fascist groups in the UK and in France. There will be a knee jerk reaction, but even extremist groups can't fight against the rip tide of history. The Europeans have no balls and have already surrendered to the non-indigenous, non-integrated citizens in their midst. In another generation, indigenous Europeans will be minorities in their own countries. Either that or they'll be an utterly silent and compliant majority (as they are today) that capitulates to the Islamists in their midst. Farewell Olde Europe, it was nice knowin' ya!
Members FreestyleIntruder Posted February 20, 2009 Author Members Posted February 20, 2009 The Europeans have no balls: That's not what your mother said after I'd emptied the contents of mine onto her face last night
Members Armchair Bronco Posted February 20, 2009 Members Posted February 20, 2009 Is there an emoticon for a one-finger salute?
Members BeëlzeM Posted February 20, 2009 Members Posted February 20, 2009 People in the UK are actually talking about that tool? Geert Wilders... sigh.
Members Flâneur Posted February 20, 2009 Members Posted February 20, 2009 Foot. Gun. Trigger. I hate to say it, but maybe we need a written constitution while people like Jackie Smith have any power.

Wrong, only last year Yusaf al Qardawi was denied entry to the UK after encouraging suicide bombing. Oh, and here's another good video: JW6PRABq4HM

Out of interest, where exactly do you get your information about Europe from? Already surrendered? Indigenous Europeans becoming minorities in a generation? Utterly silent and compliant? Are we even on the same planet?
