Meeting Geert Wilders in Manhattan
GEERT AND AYAAN HIRSI ALI...
Geert Wilders created the counter-jihad movie Fitna taking on Europe’s appeasement of Islamic infiltration, as well as confronting jihad itself. He is an amazing man and a role- model for us all. Geert is carrying an enormous burden as he fights for his and our freedom- of speech, helping to decide the fate of the free world for yourself and your grandchildren: The New Churchill.
We must NOT be Silent!!
Stop The Madness!

Geert Wilders Faces Jail Time for His Stance on Islam
**
I saw Geert Wilders speak again this evening to a gathering of about 25 people in an East Side Manhattan apartment.
I can’t imagine what it’s like living one’s whole life surrounded by a security detail, as Wilders has done since 2004. Yet, while he indicated he doesn’t like living this way, as well as not liking being under indictment for the crime of hate speech which could put him in jail for two years, it doesn’t seem to faze him. As he had in his speech at the Four Seasons Restaurant on Monday, he struck me as a calm, sincere, genuine person, not at all puffed up with himself as many politicians are. Part of the strangeness of the Wilders phenomenon is that he is the farthest thing from a demagogue or stirrer up of emotions—let alone a stirrer up of hatred—that one could imagine. He speaks about the Islam threat in simple, direct language, without dramatization beyond the factual truth of his message, in an almost regretful tone of, “Here is something that exists, it is rapidly gaining power, and if we don’t do something about it, and soon, everything we have, our freedom, our civilization, is going to be lost.” And yet, because he speaks the truth about Islam, the world sees him as … well, you can check out the despicable Newsweek article about him to see the usual adjectives.
Also, I want to repeat my admiration for Fitna, which was shown again at the gathering, on a wide TV screen. It’s hard to think of how a 17 minute movie about the Islam threat could possibly have been better than this. The selection of material, the way the film weaves together the words of the Koran with the spoken words of contemporary Islamic leaders and with footage of acts of Islamic violence, all add up to a clear, moving portrayal of Islam’s own expression of itself. The movie is not about Wilders. It’s not about Wilders’s “hate” of Islam. It’s about the truth of Islam. But, as I always say, under liberalism, the worse the truth about some minority or non-Western group, the more racist we are for speaking it. Meaning, the worse the truth about some minority or non-Western group, the more the truth about that group is prohibited.
When the movie ended, Canadian businessman Bjorn Larsen, who had introduced Wilders to the group and was serving as MC, said, “For this, two years in jail.” MORE…

The meaning of Wilders’s reply to me (Lawrence Auster, View From The Right)
A reader informs us that fifty-five minutes of Geert Wilders’s talk at a Manhattan apartment Tuesday night is on You Tube, and that my comment begins at 35:46 of the video. I haven’t seen it yet, but my exchange with Wilders is worth commenting on, because his reply helps us understand a key difference between Europe and America vis a vis the problem of Islamization.

Geert was accompanied by Barry Madliner, who is also a member of the Dutch Parliament and Bjorn Larsen, Geert’s contact person and coordinator, as well as the treasurer of the International Free Press Society, http://www.internationalfreepresssociety.org//.
There is a great article to be found at IFPS explaining the economic links between Communism and Islamic infiltration http://www.internationalfreepresssociety.org/2009/02/once-again-its-the-economy-stupid/. It was written by Lars Hedgaard, the president of the IFPS and another one of the distinguished visitors at this meeting.
Following the showing of Fitna was a short speech by Geert and then a Q & A. Since it’s dinner time, our hostess provided a buffet meal for us , Geert and his associates, who graciously socialized with us all . Geert spoke of the growing threat of Islamisim to the Western world and even though accompanied by 6 or 7 bodyguards, or possibly because he was, Geert was calm but firmly clear as he stressed that NOW is the time for those of us in the US to go on the offensive. We must EDUCATE ! Ignorance is what has allowed the Islamists to swarm across Europe. The US is now staring at a similar fate . A video of the entire event is posted below ( as well as a link to more pictures) that includes Geert’s presentation and the Q and A.
