Good to read that they still enjoy free speech in the Netherlands, as well as a politician who is not afraid to speak out against the spread of Islam into his country.

/// Mr Wilders, said he was "defending the character, the identity, the culture and the freedom of The Netherlands." ///

Is there anyone who would defend the character, the identity, the culture and the freedom of Britain?

[pa___ul3]

so you're equating Islam to Nazism!?!

[pa___ul3]

and my point was going to be... if he's worried about people being convinced to turn to Islam, how is he defending their freedom? Surely freedom means people can make their own decision to turn to Islam or not.

paul, if aog wanted your opinion he'd give it to you

[pa___ul3]

haha nice shout!

[emmie]

whether people agree with it or not, there are problems with cultural and religious differences, not just in the capital, whilst Christianity is taking something of a backseat, Islam is coming to the fore, not just in Britain, but across the globe. And some of those views put forward don't sit well in a modern society, head scarves, burkhas, arranged marriages, female circumcision, abuse, dislike or hatred for homosexuals, don't see that as particularly forward thinking.

yep, them christians love the gays

[pa___ul3]

I wouldn't consider 'being afraid of a religion' as being particularly forward thinking either.

Why is it ok to criticise and ridicule Christianity, yet if anyone dares to criticise Islam in anyway certain ABers go to pieces?

Couldn't be because they belong to that particular intolerant religion could it?

I'm happy to criticise all religions without fear or favour, AOG......where would you like to get started?
