Geert Wilders and European democracy
by Isi Leibler https://www.legal-project.org/658/geert-wilders-and-european-democracy Excerpt: The outcome of the current trial of Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders on charges of "incitement to hatred" will represent a watershed in Europe's response to the challenge of Islamic fundamentalism. Wilders, nicknamed Mozart because of his blond hair, is somewhat of a maverick. Voted politician of the year in 2007 by the Dutch media, he is a charismatic and popular politician who displays refreshing contempt for the hypocritical political correctnessrelating to Islam that has enveloped Europe. Some polls suggest that in an election now, his Freedom Party could become Holland's largest parliamentary party. Wilders opposes what he regards as the craven appeasement of the Netherlands and most European nations to intimidation and threats of violence from Islamic fundamentalists. Against the background of the massive influx of Muslim immigrants, he fears that having embraced post-modernism and cultural relativism, most Europeans lack the stamina to maintain their core values and are capitulating to Muslims determined to impose Shari'a law in Europe.
