Wilders reveals his true colors

[Marco]

Disgusting....certainly it is understandable to ban the burka....and even banning the headscarf along with Christian and Jewish religious symbols in schools like France has done.

But to single out the simple headscarf and leave in place other religious symbols......awful.

Wilders goes for headscarf ban in the Hague

Friday 26 February 2010

A ban on headscarves for city council workers and in all institutions and clubs which get local authority money will be the most important point in the PVV´s negotiations to join governing coalitions in Almere and the Hague, says party leader Geert Wilders.

Speaking to RTL news, Wilders said the ban would be central to talks to form new local authority executives in the only two cities where the party is contesting the March 3 local elections.

The ban will apply to 'all council offices and all other institutions and clubs which get even one cent of council money,' he said.

The PVV is tipped to emerge as the biggest party in Almere and second biggest in the Hague.

Speech

Wilders brought up the ban again in a speech to supporters in Almere, where he entered the room to the Rocky theme tune Eye of the Tiger.

The ban will not apply to other religious items such as Christian crosses and Jewish skull caps because these are symbols of our own Dutch culture, Wilders said in his speech, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd.

The speech began with a 'lengthy tirade' against the 'arrogant Labour party', according to the Volkskrant report of the meeting. 'If you translate the PvdA's Arabic language election brochures they say 'bring your family here. You get benefits, we pay for everything', the Volkskrant quoted the PVV leader as saying.

'Almere must become the safest city in the Netherlands,' he said. 'There will be an end to subsidies for Turkish macramé and Arabic finger painting. Not just the Netherlands but all of Europe will look to Almere.'

Discrimination

Wilders is currently facing charges of discrimination and inciting hatred against non western immigrants and Muslims. He always maintains he is opposed to Islam, not Muslims themselves.

Earlier this week, Wilders told the Telegraaf the PVV´s commitment to maintaining the current retirement age of 65 would be crucial in negotiations to form a new national government, following the collapse of the CDA, Labour and ChristenUnie alliance last weekend.

Most parties have already ruled out forming a coalition with Wilders. Only the Christian Democrats and right wing Liberals VVD have not done so.

Opinion polls make it likely that four parties will be needed to form a new government after the June 9 vote.

Anyone can see that islam is a damaging religion.

With the exception of the loony left wing liberal types, of which there are many on this board.

To my friends on ACD, the best thing we can do with a troll like this is to simply ignore him.

I agree. However, you must admit there are a lot of left-wingers on here (and I ain't talking hockey)!

I must be the only proud conservative on this forum!

Well, I appreciate the kind words. Thank you. I guess I never really thought about weed being divided along party lines...lol.

There's no such thing as a proud conservative, only frustrated progressives.

I think conservative has become a taboo word amongst some groups. Plus, im not left wing, i dont really have a huge interest in Economics. I'm a progressive liberal.

Yeah, STRANGE that.....on a site about, among other things, personal freedoms.

I think that the terms "left-wing", "conservative", etc., are relative to one's own reference points. If you live in a very conservative country then many views would likely seem leftist. (I refer to myself as moderately leftist, but that is relative to the Canadian/European political spectrum. In the US, I would be considered VERY left wing.)

Too bad for you them, isn't pride one of the 7 deadly sins?
(I can hear "the churchlady" chastising you as in "sounds like SATAN"...... )

LOL but this is a sort of key to understand. For a lot of people just the inebriation is something shamefull, something evil and a subhuman habit.
For this persons we are a trouble for ourselves and for the human species.
What kind of dialogue you could have with this ideological point of view?

I knew you were left back.

In the changing rooms?
