A Battle Under Way: Contacts in the Army
From the desk of The Brussels Journal on Wed, 2007-02-14 17:26
A quote from Expatica, 14 February 2007:
[Dutch] MP Geert Wilders was threatened with a suicide attack last week. Two young men reportedly planned to shoot the politician down and detonate a van full of explosives next to the politician. “Many innocent people were to die in the chaos.” [...] The initial, very concrete warning spoke about an attack planned for early February. Wilders would first be shot, and then a man would drive a white delivery van into the victim and detonate the 500 to 600 kilos of explosives in the vehicle.
The perpetrators reportedly got the explosives from a contact in the military. […] The person who called the hotline said that the perpetrators were not fundamentalists, but “just wanted revenge.”
A quote from NIS News, 14 February 2007:
If the Prophet Mohammed were living in the Netherlands today, he would have to be deported from the country. And if Muslims want to stay in the Netherlands, they must tear up and throw away half the Koran, says Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders. [...] Wilders concurs that he is “mad about Israel.” The only criticism he has of the country is that “I find Israel sometimes listens to Europe too much. It should have intervened in Lebanon much earlier. I am more inclined to consider that Israel does not go far enough than that it goes too far.”
A quote from Reuters, 13 February 2007:
Wilders, who is seen as an heir to murdered populist Pim Fortuyn and whose new party won nine seats out of the 150 in parliament in November elections, has warned of a “tsunami of Islamisation” in a country home to 1 million Muslims. [...] “You no longer feel that you’re living in your own country. There is a battle under way and we must defend ourselves. There will soon be more mosques than churches here.”
[...] Nasr Joemann, secretary for the Contact Organisation for Muslims and Government, said he planned to raise the demonisation of Islam with the new Dutch cabinet, expected to be finalised in the next week after months of coalition talks. “I don’t think this sort of comment from a member of parliament is good for integration or for relations between Muslims and non-Muslims but we don’t want to react to the content because we cannot take it seriously,” he said.
Pig against pork

According to Islam in Europe, http://islamineurope.blogspot.com/2007/02/netherlands-more-terror-planned.html, Wilders is not exactly popular with a female poster on a Marokko.nl site,
" ...that deformed, backward idiots like Wilder can now make demands. He deserves to be KILLED!! You may kill for your rights and your RELIGION!! I will dance in the street when this oaf is silenced!! They kicked off his throne a great man like Saddam but leave a pork-eater like Wilders still standing."
It is wonderful that the laid back views in the Netherlands have been so transposable to poor immigrant populations, then again maybe she is native Dutch.
The Military as a Political Actor

Western militaries will soon need to adopt an interventionist stance and act as the guardians of their respective societies, as is the case in Turkiye. If political power is not to be had from the people, as their electoral decisions carry little weight in Brussels or even their own capitals, political power, to use Mao's phrase, must come from the "barrel of a gun."
Armed resistance

Here in Britain the opportunities for radical Islamists to infiltrate our Armed Forces have recently increased due to the Labour government's high profile campaign to get more Muslims to join up.
For the time being, at least, it seems to have failed but the intention remains.
The British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force are seen by the liberal elite as the last bastions of conservatism in modern Britain. As such, they are constantly under the threat of being deconstructed by the Left's favourite weapons of political correctness and multiculturalism.
They need our support like never before in their battle with the Leftist forces that now confront them.
Too bad Wilders is such a

Too bad Wilders is such a moron he has pretty solid ideas but Reagan he is not. If he had the charisma of Pim Fortuyn he would be Prime Minister right now.
