This guy won’t live long, but I respect his courage. By the way, he is being attacked as a member of the “Right,” a “Christian” and a supporter of Israel.

His actions, the Dutch government is warning, have put countless lives at risk. Plans are being drawn up to evacuate Dutch embassies around the world, riot police are on standby in Amsterdam and ordinary citizens are cancelling foreign holidays as they prepare for trouble.

There are already protests on the streets and by the goverments of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia.

Wilders, you see, has spoken out against the Muslim faith. He’s attacked the “tsunami of Islamisation” that he says is engulfing traditional Dutch society. He’s attacked the prophet Mohammed, saying that were he alive today he should be “tarred and feathered” and deported as an extremist.

He’s attacked the culture of political correctness that has seen immigrants given housing and benefits without even having to try to assimilate into Western culture. And he’s attacked the Koran, a book he likens to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, describing it as the cornerstone of a “fascist ideology” that aims to destroy all who oppose it.

Wilders has also made a 15-minute movie. Called Fitna (Arabic for “strife"), it was broadcast on the internet for the first time on Thursday afternoon, prompting fears of a backlash against Dutch citizens of unprecedented proportions. Wilders remains unrepentant. Over the past few years the Right-wing MP has received many death threats and knows his life is in danger.

Even so, he says: “If I were to moderate my voice, if I stop saying what I think, then the people who use undemocratic arguments like death threats would have won.
