The leading Dutch counter-jihad politician wants to send a message after two Muslim terrorists attacked a Texas event where he and others were standing for freedom of speech. Geert Wilders said today that he wants to stage a parliamentary exhibition of the cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed that sparked a deadly shooting in Texas that left two dead.
UK Telegraph “I am going to request parliament to exhibit the same cartoons as those that were displayed in Garland,” Mr Wilders told AFP on Wednesday, referring to the Dallas suburb where the shooting took place on Sunday.
Police said the two gunmen drove up to the conference centre in Garland, where the American Freedom Defence Initiative was organising a controversial Prophet Mohammed cartoon contest, and opened fire with assault rifles, hitting a security guard in the ankle. A Garland police officer then shot and killed both gunmen with his service pistol.
Mr Wilders, 51, had left the conference centre, where he made a speech criticizing Islam, shortly before the incident. “I want to send a message that if you use violence to suppress free speech the only effect is that we’ll do it even more,” Mr Wilders said, adding “we must show we’ll not be intimidated.”
The platinum-haired Mr Wilders, whose Freedom Party (PVV) gained popularity in the Netherlands on an anti-Islam ticket, denied that a cartoon exhibition would be provocative. “I don’t want to provoke, but at the same time we must show that we’re standing for freedom of speech,” Mr Wilders said.
Ever since forming his own party in 2006, the firebrand politician has been a divisive figure in the Netherlands, which prides itself on its long but fading tradition of multi-cultural tolerance. Mr Wilders himself has no hesitation in branding the Koran as a “fascist” book and have before likened it to Hitler’s Mein Kampf.
But the politician is facing prosecution in the Netherlands after a controversial statement last year during local government elections in which he vowed to ensure fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands.
Public prosecutors received more than 6,000 complaints of discrimination after television footage in March last year showed Mr Wilders asking party faithful in The Hague whether they wanted “fewer or more Moroccans in your city and in the Netherlands?”
“Fewer, fewer!” the crowd shouted with a smiling Mr Wilders saying: “We’re going to organise that.”
The ISIS claim marks the first time that the extremist group, which has captured swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq using brutal methods, is alleged to have carried out an attack in the United States.

Respect all race and religion, but islam is not a religion it is cult whose goal is to destroy the world
Bacon Head says
LONG LIVE GEERT WILDERS!!
LONG LIVE CRITICS OF EVIL ISLAM!!
Sam Micthell says
I want to see a how many korans you can destroy in an hour competition.
BareNakedIslam says
Why would you want to burn them? You should distribute them to everyone you know so they can see for themselves how violent Islam really is.
S says
I think we should have a “draw anjem choudary” competition
Huck Folder says
hang, draw and quarter.

I WAS in a POW camp in Iran. I’ve written a book about the so called PEACEFUL religion of ISLAM! Here is the link. http://www.amazon.com/Loris-Song-Story-American-Captive/dp/1432738291/ref=tmm_pap_title_0
Lilith says
So glad he will try to repeat the event!!! And We all should pray for his safety as well as the safety of all the crusaders in the name of Freedom. These crusaders are slowing the Creeping Islamization and promoting the truth about Islam. I hope that someday I will be able to attend the dedication of statues of all those who are risking their lives to pubicly speak out aboutvthe truth of Islam and who are daily fighting for our Freedoms.

the dutch are getting dhimmified. i’m worried he may not get enough security detail for the even…assuming they’ll even let him do it.
BareNakedIslam says
I hear he never sleeps in the same place two nights in a row.
wanderleigracie says
Let’spray for the safety of Geert Wilders
john Daniel. says
Oh Goody !!!
More Chalk Lines of the islamoamourers and islams !!!
Neeraj says
Wish there were more in politics the world over. It seems that in a world of hypocrites, Geert is one of a kind.
cathari5 says
i`m betting thousands of patriots are putting their hands up for security detail , just for the chance to put a bullet in the face of some wannabe jihadist
BareNakedIslam says
I don’t think patriots are allowed to be armed in the Netherlands.
blackknight says
That’s right Bonni. Unlike France though, at least the Police are armed.
Mars says
Good Luck Mr. Geert, you are going to need a huge security force. Is the free world not descending to civil war. And why? Islamists. They do this to every country they can. Weak governments are on the top of the list. But who would ever think western type countries were weak. Civilized jihad, financial jihad. China leaders believe religion is poison. They care none for human rights. Western ideals believe all have the right to practice religion freely and also human rights for all. Something needs to be done soon. Goodbye Britain. Eff you Britainistan.
Guy Ice says
I wish I could of been there. What a great event!!
Pray Hard says
Geert’s the man.
Jade says
Anjem Choudary is on Fox News saying Pamela Geller should get the death penalty for the cartoon contest.
BareNakedIslam says
What was Fox’s response?
Jade says
He was on Hannity, along with Geller. Hannity called him a disgusting pig, or words to that effect. Of course Choudary promised that one day all of U.K. will live under Sharia, like he always does. Pamela held her own as usual.
BareNakedIslam says
Jade, I’ve heard him on Hannity several times and I don’t like that Sean always asks him the same questions and makes the same remarks instead of pulling new stories of atrocities from the headlines and comparing them to quotes from the quran. If I hear him say, “Take not Jews or Christians for friends,” one more time, I’m gonna gag. There are hundreds of quotes he could use. He’s just lazy.
Nimrod says
Awesome. This is a win-win situation. If he is able to exhibit the drawings that will be a win, and if he is prevented from doing so then that will be a win as well as the cowardly islamopanderers will have to go on record for preventing it. That will force them to show who their masters truly are.

“I want to send a message that if you use violence to suppress free speech the only effect is that we’ll do it even more,” Mr Wilders said, adding “we must show we’ll not be intimidated.” Well said Geert, well said.
Bonni, a friend and I attended the event so we could hear the speakers. It was nerve wracking when we heard that the shots were fired. However, everyone was calm. I thought that was pretty amazing. Too bad these young men wasted their lives by choosing to be in the death cult.
I am tired of hearing that it was an offensive event. SURE it was offensive, but I, and millions of other Christians, are offended by the beheadings of our fellow Christians that seem to occur on a regular basis by Muslim savages. A cartoon is not reason to brutally murder someone.
We Christians were also highly offended by the lady who was beheaded in Oklahoma by the Muslim. I seem to remember that he tried to convert her and she refused. I suppose she refused to pay the jizya too. Do you remember any news media griping and moaning about this Muslim beheading being offensive to Christians? Nope. It was A-OK for him to saw this poor woman’s head off. If it had been someone other than a Muslim the media would have seen red meat (no pun intended). People do not understand that if there had not been a Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Brigitte Gabriel, BNI, etc., that we would have already been well on our way to being a Muslim hell hole. Thank you, Bonni, for being a brave patriot!
Rush Limbaugh was defending Pamela Geller on his program today. You might want to check it out.
The media, liberals, Obama, Eric Holder, et al are all arseholes.
BTW, seeing Geert in person was fantastic.
BareNakedIslam says
I heard Rush and Michael Savage, both of whom did a great job of defending Pamela and free speech.

i just hope the Netherland officers are crack shots

Make sure you have security that is armed with more than ‘batons”

BRAVO BRAVISSIMO GEERT WILDERS FOR REPEATING THE EVENT, AND THANK YOU BNI FOR REPEATING HIS BEAUTIFUL SPEECH!!! :o)
williamharvey457 says
EXCELLENT !
Go for it Geert Wilders and Pamela Geller.
Do NOT give in to the Muslim Islamist Blood Thirsty Murdering Butchers of the “Grand Deception” misnamed the “Religion of Peace”.
A Lie and NOT a Religion, much less of “Peace”, Islam has an appetite for territorial expansion and military conquest, through Taqiyya and Kitman – Islamic Lying and Deception, by gaining the trust of non-believers – “Infidels” in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
However IF Muslim Lying and Deception doesn’t work, THEN the Muslims WILL FORCE it through Bloody “Jihad” Butchery.

Comparing Muhammad to Jesus …. is like comparing Arafat …. to Mother Teresa !
