Dear Mayor of Monschau

I would like to add a short preface to what Diana has to say here. Geert Wilders would have been considered a commie by many in the US during the 1960s, but his voice would not have been an unusual one. His fierce defence of homosexual rights, Jewish people’s rights and minority and mostly individual rights in general are the signs of classical liberalism and one of the main ideologies being trumped by the rebelious youth of that time.

To see him branded and demonized as ‘far right wing’ by the majority of the mass media and the totality of state run media in Europe and elsewhere, shows how far left the broadcast media has moved since then. Left and dhimmified. That views which would have been considered subversively leftist for its calls for individual rights regardless of sexual orientation or race or religious belief like Wilders would be called right wing, merely because he opposes fascist ideologies like Islam.

Dear Mayor Margareta Ritter (ma**************@st***.de),

CDU-Bürgermeisterin  Margareta Ritter: 'Wilders ist in Monschau  nicht willkommen!'

I have had the pleasure of visiting your exquisitely beautiful German town, the second member of my family to do so. The first was my dad, who, as a member of the 102nd Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron in Gen. Bradley’s Army, had, with time out to recuperate from wounds incurred at the Battle of St Lo, fought across nothern Europe from D-Day plus 2 until reaching Monschau by the end of 1944.

I only bring this up because I read this morning that you have declared Geert Wilders, who recently weekended in your town, “not welcome” in Monschau. “People who, just like Mr Wilders, encumber the Dutch integration debate with right-wing populism and who want to ban the Qur’an, comparing it to Mein Kampf, are not welcome in Monschau,” you are quoted as having said.

I protest. First of all, it is not “right-wing populism” with which Wilders “encumbers” the integration debate. It is with facts about sharia (Islamic law), a totalitarian and supremacist legal and religious system. He takes these facts to the public arena, a place where fears of Islamic retribution have to date silenced this essential, civilizational conversation. Another fact he brings, however discomforting to multicultists such as you appear to be, is the similarity between Mein Kampf and the Koran. You may declare Wilders — and all of his thousands of Dutch supporters — persona non grata in Monschau; that won’t make sharia or those Koran-Kampf similarities go away.

But maybe you don’t care. Maybe you have now found a new totalitarianism to submit to. But I protest your decision to make Monschau off limits to Wilders, a defender of liberty against totalitarianism — the same liberty my dad was in and around Monschau to defend long ago against a similarly supremacist totalitarianism. I have a strong hunch he would say that, so long as you are in office, liberation wasn’t worth the effort.

Sincerely,

Diana West, USA

  1. Wilders’ attitude can be easily explained because most of us here have exactly the same attitude even though we may not know it.

    For those who oppose pislam, we have to hate what arselifters love and vice versa.

    Arselifters hate gays, so I do not.
    Arselifters disrespect others, so I do not.
    Arselifters hate freedom, so I do not.
    Arselifters treat women like animals, so I do not.
    Arselifters abuse young children, so I do not.

    Its a matter of adopting an anti-arselifter attitude. Its as simple as that.

  2. If Wilders is a fascist, then so were the founders of the United States who drafted one of the wisest documents of the Englightenment, a document that hundreds of millions of people still look up to: the Declaration of Independence.

    If Wilders is a fascist, then advocating freedom and exposing hatred is also fascist.

    If Wilders is anything, he is representative of what western leaders should be, principled people who understand what it means to live in a free society that has boundaries of what is right and what is wrong. Crossing those lines in the name of mis-guided multiculturalism or under the cloak of freedom of religion and/or speech is absolutley wrong.

    If Wilders is anything, he is the west’s best hope for gaining the upper hand in a very old war that was declared by Mohammed over 1,300 years ago which continues to this day wherever Muslims congregate.

    May we have more people like him in the years to come.

    Stop Islam now, for tomorrow they will come for you.
