Europe has picked on the rare devout Christian within the borders of the European Union; however it is few that have the name recognition of Geert Wilders.
If you are a typical Leftie you have probably bought the line that Wilders is a fringe Right Winger that is a bigot. Actually I know little of Wilders’ politics (except he definitely is not a Leftie) or his faith or if he is a practioners of anything theologically Christian. For all I know Wilders may buy into the Secular Humanist values system (which I guess would tarnish his Right Wing standing).
The one thing that Wilders does stand for is the protection of the Western Cultural paradigm that has coalesced over the centuries from Judaism, Christianity, Greek Thought, Roman Thought, Renaissance Thought, and Enlightenment Thought and so on leading to a society of civil rights that is a little constrained in Europe but nearly wide open in America.
I used the word “protection.” The political spectrum from Left to Right should be asking, “Protection from what?”
I am yelling from the rafters of Liberty telling you, “Western Culture needs proactive protection from Islam which is trying to assimilate the West rather than be assimilated by the various nations of the West!”
Admittedly in Europe the faith of Christianity has become an afterthought as a practicing religion of most Europeans. Western evolvement in Europe has been the egalitarian form of Liberty in which every human is entitled to free speech, thought, religion (if so chosen) and ideology as long as said Liberty does not offend or incite violence against individuals or groups of ideologues or people of religion. Being an America I find that sort of Liberty is diluted Liberty when considerations of incitement is above the act of violence. Diluted Liberty is saying the populace cannot be trusted to peacefully write or give a speech to contradict another’s outlook. Diluted Liberty is saying the populace will indulge in uncivilized acts of rage and carnage. Diluted Liberty is saying the government will prevent real freedom of speech because it fears to enforce civilized protections from an uncivilized raging populace.
This diluted Liberty is the very thing that European and International Muslim/Mohammedan organizations are using to shut Wilders’ mouth. For If Wilders’ mouth is not shut, the evidence that Islam/Mohammedanism is a violent religion according to their own writings would enlighten people to the contradiction that is Islam. AND if the West discovers this collectively it will be understood that Islam is doing the inciting against Western Culture whether it be secularist or Christian or Judaic or any other faith or ideology counter to Islam/Mohammedanism.
The point of Wilders could be that Islamic writings – Quran, Hadith, Sunna and Sira – have incited Wilders to educate all that will listen that Islam/Mohammedanism’s very existence is an incitement to submit to Islam or else.
Or else what? Dear God in Heaven look at an honest history book that is absent of politically correct egalitarian freedom and discover how from Mohammed’s conquest of Jewish and Christian Arab tribes in Arabian Medina through conquest of Mecca and beyond, Islam has been a harsh imperialistic Theo-Political movement of conquest, slavery and intolerance. The losers to Islam conquest were either brutally murdered and their women and children turned to slaves (oft times sex slaves) or turned into a sub-human class that exists to pay a humiliating tax for protection from the violence of Islam.
Courtesy of Andrew Bostom, he has posted a very erudite essay from Bat Ye’or as to why the Western World should be standing up for Geert Wilders.
Truly you need to READ IT.

I am a huge supporter of Israel. I am one of the guys that have accused pro-Arab American and European politicians of anti-Semitism. Because of this I have began to receive comments on various social blogs telling me they are incredulous that I would make such an accusation.
The incredulity is based on a very valid thought: How can criticism of Israel be racist or anti-Semitic?
Of course a legitimate disagreement with Israel is not anti-Semitic; however when one agrees with anti-Semitic (to the extreme) murdering Islamic terrorists, it is anti-Semitic at the very least by extension. Remember both Hamas and the PA teaches hatred of Jews to Arabs called Palestinians from primary school to graduation. The heritage of the Islamic Arab created as Palestinians is a 2nd and 3rd generation in racist education toward Jews. It is ingrained in their brutal culture.
Also I have been accused as being a bigot because I am a determined anti-Islamic writer. I know it sounds lame when I profess that I am not an Arab race hater or a hater of those that practice Islam nonetheless it is a true axiom.
The way in which Islam/Mohammedanism is developed as a Theo-political ideology makes the cult/religion in essence a racist-violent-supremacist way of living.
That sounds harsh and contradictory does it not?
Here is the thing as Bill Warner explains in a December 24 post at Political Islam, if a Muslim follows the dictates of the Quran, Hadith, Sunna and Sira and whatever else tradition that emulates Mohammed, then that Muslim is practicing their faith as a true Muslim. That practice according to all those developed documents is a compendium of violence against non-Muslims (kafirs) and toward Muslims who abandon Islam/Mohammedanism. Those Muslims (which are sensible) that practice the portions of the Quran and traditions which are indeed peaceful, drawing near to their Allah or introspective are NOT following the letter of what most Muslims consider the pure divine will of Allah.
My endeavor toward Islam/Mohammedanism is to find information on the true nature of the Theo-political cult and expose it to the light of scrutiny. Unfortunately Muslims (the exact practitioners and the deluded inexact practitioners) find what I write to be offensive; thus the accusation of racism toward me.
On that December 24 post by Bill Warner he writes about the huge lack of understanding by America’s own so-called experts that are Muslim apologists because they base their expertise on what they are told or on who they know. It is an excellent post and you need to read it!

Okay, I am a confirmed Islamophobe.
Being an Islamophobe does not mean I have a fear of Islam. It does not mean I have a racist hatred of the practitioners of Islam/Mohammedanism.
It DOES mean that I believe Mohammedanism is an inherently violent theo-political death-cult according to the example of its founder Mohammed and Mohammedanism subsequent writings considered holy by Mohammedans.
As a Christian, the Lord Jesus Christ tells me to walk in the God-kind of Love with my fellow Believers and as much as is possible walk in the God-kind of Love with non-Believers as well. I tell you that it is often a tough path to walk with Mohammedans that honor the Wahhabi Sunni path or the Shi’ite Twelver path. Those guys are wildly intolerant. Even the less violent schools of Mohammedan thought outside of the Hanbali tradition still follow the inherent violence of what Christians would call Mohammedan scriptures. Still I have to remind myself it is the Will of God that all humanity be Saved and come into the knowledge of the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Now that I have justified my version of Islamophobia, you need to read a blog post by Bill Warner of PoliticalIslam.com. It is entitled “The Doctrine of Ignorance.”
Warner writes of the danger of judging Mohammedanism by that nice co-worker or neighbor Ahmed. Ahmed may be sincerely nice; however if he is a true follower of the Mohammed and the following doctrines developed around Mohammed, Ahmed’s faith is dangerous.
It is kind of like the followers of David Koresh or Jim Jones: they called themselves Christians however they were consumed with death outside the realm of the teaching of the Son of God. A nice follower of Koresh or Jones did not practice a nice faith.

The essence of Islam is evil with the framework of Western standards. It is especially evil compared to Christian ethics; however it is evil also in the face of Western secular ethics.
It is doubtful an egalitarian secular humanist would agree that secular Western ethics would find Islam evil. The fact the Secular Humanism believes all humanity are equal regardless of race, creed, religion (or lack of religion), sexual persuasion et al; forces a view that disparaging the religion of Islam as abhorrent.
And thus I am frequently called a “hater,” “hatemonger,” “bigot” and whatever disparaging epithet because I learning to understand Islam (or Mohammedanism after the theo-political cult’s founder) and to share the information on blogs.
I am indebted to websites such as Jihad Watch, Dhimmi Watch, CAIR Watch, Anti-CAIR, Apostates of Islam, Answering Islam, TheReligionOfPeace.com, Sharia Finance Watch, Faith Freedom International, Counterterrorism Blog, Gates of Vienna, MEMRI and I could name more.
These website give a stark portrayal of Islam in action (so-called moderate and Islamist).
The website that has been beneficial lately is Political Islam. Bill Warner has provided an understanding as to why Muslims can say Islam is peaceful and yet be guilty of such reprehensible acts of violence.
The latest post I have from Bill Warner is “The Doctrine of Deceit.” Here Warner explains how a duality system of ethics allows a Muslim to lie with a sense of guiltlessness or that the concept of “Greater Jihad” (Murdering Kafir) and “Lesser Jihad” (the so-called inner struggle) are equally valid concepts to a Muslim and are non-contradictory.
You should really Read “The Doctrine of Deceit.”
