Controversial Dutch politician lands in Britain despite ban (Extra)

Feb 12, 2009, 13:32 GMT

London - Controversial Dutch politician Geert Wilders arrived in Britain Thursday despite an entry ban imposed by the British government which says that his virulent anti-Islamic views pose a threat to public order.

Wilders, leader of the liberal-rightist Freedom Party PVV, touched down at London's Heathrow airport on a flight from Amsterdam. It was expected that immigration officials would stop him at passport control.

He had been invited by Malcolm Pearson, a member of the House of Lords, to show his controversial political film Fitna, which warns of the spread of radical Islam and calls the Koran a 'fascist book.'

The British Home Office said Thursday it would 'stop those who want to spread extremism in all its forms,' applying a 2006 law banning the incitement of racial and religious hatred.

A Sad Day For BritainFeb 12th, 2009 - 13:59:46

Lord Malcolm Pearson is correct - to challenge the politically correct - status quo !!

Lord Ahmed is threatened by freedom of speech - and the exposure of - Islam's attempt to carry out Koran's intentions - he's embarrassed by his own book !

This is exactly what the phenomenon of 'creeping sharia' is all about - it only took one Islamist from within the UK govt to ban a free-speech advocate, yet that same Islamist govt official invites Al Qaeda members to the House of Lords...insanity Geert Wilders speech to America

The film can be seen on the British National Party website.
Critics claim that this Dutch MP has made a film about hatred towards Islam but the only thing shown is the very real hatred that islam has for the rest of the world.
I am ashamed of the British government and by it's actions has helped destroy democracy.
Brown and his government are a bunch of cowards.

Denying the Holocaust - Free speach?Feb 12th, 2009 - 18:27:36

Imagine a Muslim Imam cherry picking anti Gentile verses from the Talmud and the Old Testament, captioning these verses on top of pictures from the Gaza massacres, or even making an anti Jewish film. Would people of the so called free world shout 'let the Imam in the UK, he is entitled to freedom of speech?

I don't think so, he will be accused of inciting hatred. We have seen Imams being denied entry to Britain based on so much less - so here you have a group of people who have their diseased minds exposed. This form of hypocrisy is the devils work.

According to Geert Wilders the Quran is facist and should be banned - well how about the Bible?

The Bible is more anti Semetic then the protocals of the elders of Zion or the Quran.

So why doesn't Wilders call for the banning of the Bible?

My second point, you have people who question the holocaust, they are not deniers, but Questioners. If you even dare to question the holocaust you get put in prison in many European countries - and what's wrong in denying the holocaust, is it not free speach?

What happened to freedom of speech in the so called free world?

Where is Wilders fighting for freedom of speech for the people who want to search for the truth about the number of dead during the holocaust?

You see the double standards, some hearts and mind are so diseased its incurable. You can deny the slave trade and you will not be punished, but if you deny the holocaust, you get thrown in prison.

P.S. Some of Hitlers best men in the German SS were Jews.

A sad day for the UK. If our government refused entry to this man, then surely they it should also ban - deport the hate filled Muslim imams who preach violence against this country. The governmet has got its priority completerly wrong.

Milliband tells us that the film is anti-islamic and the maker of this film must not enter the country.
He has incidentally not seen the film but how does he know the film is anti-islamic ? Perhaps Keith Vas or Lord Ahmed told him?

There are many letters and opinions in todays UK press and the vast majority condemn the government. Freedom of speech will live again in the UK but not before we rid ourselfs of this hideous government and their muslim paymasters.

We have to tackle this problem at the very source.

The Jews who run the PC Brigade need to be held account.

I feel the same, those coniving Jews who run the PC Brigade, we need to get rid of them first, their loyalty lies with Israel, not with the UK.

Those Jews like David Miliband masquerade as good decent Christians who have the best interest of the UK at heart (did any of you know that David Miliband was a Jew?) LOL. But the truth is these Jews take away our freedom of speech. What the hell are we doing with Jews in powerfull positions anyway?

Imagine a Government without Jews, we will have our freedom of speech back, just like the old days.

MilibandFeb 13th, 2009 - 16:43:43

I didn't know Milliband was a Jew, seems you are correct.

Miliband told us that the film is anti-islamic and the maker of this film must not enter the country.

I understand now, you are very right, it is the Jews who are really taking away our freedom of speech.

To MilibandFeb 13th, 2009 - 16:52:14

LOL, you can't even ask for the truth in reference to the Holocaust.

Labled as a Nazi, Anti-Semetic, Holocaust denier etc...

The problem we as a nation face is that the Jews control both sides of the debate.

They the Jews tell us what we can say and what we can't say.

Frankly atrocious if you ask me.

Free speechFeb 14th, 2009 - 17:54:21

'Mohammed was a liar' is not a quote that you will come across very often. In an islamic country that will certainly get you killed and in many western countries it will get you arrested for inciting hatred and violance but the hatred and violance will only come from muslims who would consider that it would be an insult to their prophet.
Fortunately there are a few very good websites that tell the truth about muhammed and I urge everybody to seek them out and make a ballanced decision about this self-styled prophet.
Islam seeks to destroy free speech because free speech is their greatest enemy, believe and never question is there philosophy and if allowed to flourish will end in death, destruction and unhappiness for the world.

Some commentators are missing the point. In a truly open and democratic country the right of free speech should be paramount, non-negotiable and unlimited. That goes for Holocaust-Deniers, Anti-semites, Islamists, Zionists, Racists, Fascists, Marxists, Christians, Atheists et al. Once any viewpoint is proscribed, or any term of speech outlawed, however repugnant or offensive it may seem to others, then free expression is no longer absolute, and we enter the realms of statist manipulation and the 'Thought Police.'

It is to this sorry condition, thanks to the nauseating sanctimonious tenets of 'Political Correctness' and the connivance of spineless, self-serving politicians, that my country has been reduced. Nor is it anything other than disingenuous to reply that some 'terminological' limitations are necessary to protect minority communities and prevent 'Hate-Crime.' The UK has a proud heritage of the rule of law going back to Magna Carta and beyond. Statutes defining offences like 'Incitement to Murder' remain in force and are sufficient protection for ALL citizens; but no one has an automatic right to never be offended by others views.

To illustrate this point, dear Islamist preachers, by all means feel free to call me a Feringhee or a pig: But be careful about adding that i should therefore be butchered. I will be quite straightforward about ridiculing your mediaeval mindset in return. And if you don't like living in an open society, then by all means feel free to slither back to somewhere where the government will give a person fify lashes for drinking a can of beer!

Jews are anti-ChristFeb 15th, 2009 - 17:06:14

Jews are anti-Christ, that is a fact.

If you support the Jew then it's the same as selling your soul to the Devil, once you sell your soul to the anti-Christ Jew there is no redeeming yourself.

Look what Jesus said about the coniving Jews:

John 8:44 (King James Version)

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
