http://action.afa.net/Blogs/BlogPost.aspx?id=2147491189If you want to see where the U.S. is headed if we continue to indulge in dangerous and tyrannical political correctness, and indulge in the multicultural folly that Islam is the moral equivalent of Christianity, look no further than Europe.
And if you question whether Islam is a religion of peace, you will get an answer in the same place.
Politically correct goons in the Netherlands want to put parliamentarian Geert Wilders in jail on a "hate speech" conviction for having the temerity to speak the truth that Islam represents a clear and present danger to Western civilization.
He was temporarily banned from Britain for producing a short movie - "Fitna" - which did nothing more than put on screen verses from the Koran calling for Muslims to commit violence against infidels and juxtapose them with images of, well, Muslims committing violence against infidels.
Islam is a religion of violence and war, and proof positive can be found in that Wilders has been living under 24-hour police protection since producing the film. He has been the target of numerous death threats, and Al Qaeda is calling for his head (literally, as the Prophet of Allah commands them to do).
Contrast this with the response of a Christian nation, followers of the Prince of Peace, to the writings of Richard Dawkins, who frequently and loudly condemns Christianity and the Bible as nothing more than a collection of superstitions and myths. He travels and speaks freely, with nothing to fear. Why? Because Christianity is a religion of peace and Islam is not.
Wilders has called for a stop to Muslim immigration into the Netherlands and for the deportation of jihadists, in an effort to preserve what is left of Western values and culture in his native land. He is also calling for a ban on the Koran, just as the Netherlands bans Mein Kampf, and for the same reasons: it is a dangerous and subversive book.
While I have not advocated for a ban on the publishing of the Koran - in fact, I call for Americans to read it to see for themselves just how dangerous it is - I have called for a cessation of Muslim immigration into the U.S., a ban on Muslims serving in the U.S. military, and aggressive profiling of Muslim males who want to fly to or in the United States.
Will I be the next to be prosecuted for committing a "hate crime?"
As blogger Diana West has observed, as reported in WorldNetDaily, his trial "is about more than the future of freedom of speech. The trial of Geert Wilders is about the future of freedom."
