Poppycock from The Times in the Best Neville Chamberlain Tradition! Blond bombshell Geert Wilders Returns to Britain, Looking for a Fight

My oh my, Geert Wilders really does seem to have got you rattled, Mr Macintyre.

But let’s get some facts straight. Geert Wilders is not “far-right” just because he states truths that you, Mr Macintyre, don’t want to hear. This is clearly a case of shooting the messenger, and one of trying to shoot him down with ad hominem attacks. Geert Wilders is merely pointing out the dangers of the growth of Islam in his country. The Channel 4 documentary, Dispatches, entitled 'Britain's Islamic Republic', testifies to the validity of what Mr Wilders says.

In a free society, we should be allowed to hear and say things which may not be popular. It’s called ‘free speech’, remember? It’s what our ancestors died for.

So if Muslims don’t want to hear what Mr Wilders has to say, then it’s just too bad. We so-called infidels don’t want to hear half the nonsense and abuse that Muslims come out with either, but nobody has the courage to shut them up. By the way, Mr Macintyre, it’s Muslims who are trying to kill us, not the other way round. Your logic seems to be warped and twisted. – © Mark

TIMES ONLINE: Boyish, topped with a bouffant mane of bleached blond hair, cheerful and cherubic, Geert Wilders is the unlikely new face of the far Right in Europe. But appearances are deceptive. The leader of the Dutch anti-immigration Freedom Party has emerged as one of the most divisive politicians in Europe, the purveyor of a virulent brand of anti-Islamic rhetoric that calls for a tax on Islamic headscarves and a ban on the Koran, which he likens to Mein Kampf.

Mr Wilders is facing trial in a Dutch court for “inciting hatred”. Last year he was banned from Britain and turned away at Heathrow when he arrived here planning to show his short film, an incendiary anti-Islamic diatribe that the Dutch Prime Minister described as serving “no purpose other than to offend”.

On Friday, after successfully appealing against the Home Office ban, Mr Wilders will return to Britain at the invitation of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) to show his controversial film to an invited audience at the House of Lords. The English Defence League is expected to demonstrate in his support and Muslim groups are all but certain to mount protests.

To his enemies, the 46-year-old Dutchman is an old-fashioned racist demagogue in a new suit; a bottle-blond bigot. To his growing ranks of supporters he is a champion of free speech, a bulwark against what he calls “the Islamic invasion of Holland”. He may be dismissed by some as a crank but he is an increasingly powerful and popular one. On February 20 the Dutch centrist coalition Government collapsed, deeply divided over keeping troops in Afghanistan, paving the way for a general election in June in which the Freedom Party is expected to do extremely well. Polls suggest that the party will triple its tally of seats, becoming at least the second-biggest parliamentary party and quite possibly the overall winner. Mr Wilders is likely to be a key player in any coalition, with a profound impact on the political agenda. >>> Ben Macintyre | Wednesday, March 03, 2010

Taleban Fighters to Be 'Bought Off' with $500m
How ridiculous! How naïve! This is not, and never has been, about money. This is about the destruction of the West. What part of ‘destruction of Judeo-Christian civilization’ don’t these so-called experts understand? How much more taxpayers’ money are they going to squander before they eventually get it? Indeed, will they ever get it? – © Mark

TIMES ONLINE: Britain is ready to contribute millions of pounds to a fund to buy off Taleban gunmen who are fighting British troops in southern Afghanistan.

More than 60 delegations, from Colombia to Australia, will gather in Lancaster House this morning to draw up an exit strategy from Afghanistan. Much of it is based on reintegrating the Taleban rank and file, wooing the Taleban leadership and gradually handing security to the Afghan Army and police.

The conference is expected to agree a $500 million (£310 million), five-year fund for President Karzai to “buy off” insurgents who are not ideologically committed to destroying the West.

Downing Street confirmed that Britain will make a contribution of a “few million”. Germany has agreed to $70 million over five years and the bulk of the money will come from the Japanese aid budget to Afghanistan, diplomats suggested.

In return, the Afghan leader will have to agree to international monitors to strengthen an anti-corruption campaign in his Government.

President Karzai, Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State and Ban Ki Moon, the UN Secretary-General, flew in yesterday for the talks, which will be chaired by David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary. >>> Sam Coates, Chief Political Correspondent, and James Bone in New York | Thursday, January 28, 2010

Hedonists, Muslims, Masters and Slaves
It should be obvious to all thinking men and women that the West is in a battle for survival. Unfortunately, there are far too few people around who understand the problem. There are even fewer people around willing to do anything about it. This is the sadness of our time.

There is so much glib talk about the West being democratic. As the years go by, there is increasing evidence that the West is losing its democracy, since important decisions are being made, without the least consultation with the people, without the least consultation with the voters who have put the politicians in power. In fact, it seems to me that most politicians are abusing the powers that they have been given. And let’s not forget this: They have been given power to safeguard our freedoms. Yet each and every day we can read of this being banned and that being outlawed.

To heap coals on the fire, many Westerners have become hedonists. So many people today care far more about the pleasures of life, the second home, the second or third car, the multiple foreign holidays per annum, but pay scant regard for what is going on politically in their countries. The representative who gets their vote is often the representative who is the most handsome, or the one who will give them the best tax break. They want more of everything; yet they are willing to give up nothing.

But it is a fact of life that there are times when, in the interests of survival, people have to sacrifice. The Second World War was a case in point. Without sacrifice, that war would never have been won, and the ideology of National Socialism would never have been beaten.

At present, we have another ideology trying to destroy our civilization. Its name is Islam. Yet the best that our leaders can do is kow-tow to Muslims, the best thing they can do is give in to their every wish and demand. It’s easier that way. It involves far less courage, and in the short-term, it involves far less sacrifice. But don’t be fooled, ladies and gentleman. The sacrifice will come, as sure as night follows day. We will have to sacrifice our culture, for in the long-term, our civilization will be subsumed by an Islamic ‘civilization.’

One of the problems is this: Westerners have become far too hedonistic, whereas Muslims are willing and able and ready to fight for their cause. And what is that cause? To turn Dar ul harb’, the ‘House of War’, into Dar ul Islam, or the ‘House of Islam.’ They are determined to achieve their goals; we should be equally as determined to thwart their efforts. But we seem not to be. We are busy giving in to their demands, for it must be said that our leaders show every sign of being jelly-bellied in the face of Islam. They lack courage, lack insight and lack any basic understanding of the nature of the problem, and they certainly lack the determination to stop the rot.

In many ways, Muslims are cleverer than we are. They will not give in. They are also far, far more committed to their religion than Westerners are to Christianity. Theirs is a supremacist ideology; our current ideology if we can grace it with such a name is self-deprecating. We make excuses for ourselves at each and every turn.

No war was ever won that way!

President Bush has a lot to answer for, as does the erstwhile prime minister of Great Britain, Tony Blair. Both have shown themselves to be pussies rather than lions, both have shown themselves to be inept.

How, for example, could a war in Iraq be justified when most of the 9/11 attackers came from Saudi Arabia? Did it make any sense to invade Iraq rather than Saudi Arabia? Did it make any sense to make the Iraqis suffer for the wrongdoing of the Saudis?

But the invasion of Saudi Arabia was never a realistic option for President Bush and Prime Minister Blair, since the US and the UK have a master-slave relationship with the desert kingdom. We are the slaves, and they are the masters!

The latest comments by the US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia show just how weak President Bush and his administration truly are. It is disgraceful that Bush can fawn over the Saudis and Muslims as he does, when it was they who have wreaked havoc with freedom ever since 9/11, it is they who have brought a pall over life in the West ever since that fateful, egregious day, and it is they who fund the spread of Wahhabism in the West.

President Bush ought to feel ashamed of himself. He tried to bring democracy to Iraq, to a part of the world where it was not wanted, in the naïve belief that all people want the same thing, yet all the while our freedoms and liberties have been eroded here at home, both in the US and in the rest of the West by our leaders' craven behaviour.

History will not be kind either to Bush or Blair or any other politicians who fail to recognize the dangers we face, and who fail to take the necessary measures to safeguard our liberties and our civilization. For it has been under their watch that Islam has grown so strong in the midst of our Judeo-Christian civilization, not under anybody else’s.

Soft thinkers are inclined to think that all will be well, and that nothing can happen to our beloved democracies. They would do well to remember just how easily the Soviet Union was toppled. What happened there can also happen here.

When President Bush retires in 2008, he will have plenty of time to ruminate on his mistakes. If he has any conscience at all, the best he can hope for is loss of sleep. I feel sure that Blair already is losing his!

Hedonists, slavish acceptance and adherence to mythical concepts such as Islam being a religion of peace, something which Bush is apt to state over and over, will do nothing to safeguard our civilization. Merely stating something over and over, ad nauseam, does not make it true.

President Bush is well on the way to making slaves of us all! Dear readers, wake up from those reveries! Hedonism and weakness never won any war. This is a war to the death. It behoves us not to forget the story of the fall of Rome.
