Wilders detained, barred from entering Britain

He will be remembered also

The British government sank to the depths of dhimmitude when it refused Geert Wilders entry to the country to screen Fitna for the Parliament. Such craven cowardice has rarely been seen in the history of civilization.

Geert deserves all credit for making himself a lightning rod to the Global Jihad in order to bring the threat of Islamic Jihad to the attention of Western society. The Western world should thank Wilders for the sacrifice of his personal life to fight the Global Islamic Jihad.

Wilders detained, barred from entering Britain: "It is a very sad day, not only for me, but for freedom of speech"


The dhimmis turned Wilders away at Heathrow. "Dutch anti-Islam politician turned away from Britain,"

LONDON (Reuters)

Right-wing Dutch legislator Geert Wilders, who is being prosecuted at home for anti-Islam remarks, said he was barred from entering Britain on Thursday after he landed in defiance of a government ban.
Wilders wanted to show his film "Fitna," which argues that the Koran incites violence, in the British parliament. But he was told by British authorities on Tuesday that he was being excluded. Despite that, he took a flight to London.

"I am in a detention centre at Heathrow ... I will not be allowed to enter the country. They will send me back within a few hours," Wilders told Reuters from the airport.
"It is a very sad day, not only for me, but for freedom of speech," he said.
The Home Office said he would not be allowed entry into the country, but gave no other details....
Wilders' exclusion caused a diplomatic spat between the Netherlands and Britain.
"It is highly regrettable that a Dutch MP (member of parliament) should be denied entry to another EU country," Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen said in a statement on the Dutch Embassy's British web site.

It said Verhagen had telephoned David Miliband to "express his displeasure" that a Dutch member of parliament had been excluded.
Miliband defended the decision. "A hate-filled film designed to stir up religious and racial hatred in this country is contrary to our laws," he told the BBC....
Oh, yeah, Miliband? Not that there are any Islamic jihadists in the UK are trying to stir up religious hatred, eh wot? Oh no, only Wilders is doing that!

Of course, then there is this from Mark Steyn at The Corner
(thanks to Pamela):

As to the judgment of the British Home Office, they have no problem admitting to the United Kingdom the likes of Dr Ijaz Mian, who preached as follows at the Ahl-e-Hadith mosque in Derby:
You cannot accept the rule of the kaffir. We have to rule ourselves and we have to rule the others... King, Queen, House of Commons: if you accept it, you are a part of it. If you don't accept it, you have to dismantle it. So you being a Muslim, you have to fix a target. From that White House to this Black House, we know we have to dismantle it. Muslims must grow in strength, then take over... You are in a situation in which you have to live like a state-within-a-state - until you take over.
And so it goes: Multiculti England will tolerate any intolerance, except the guy who points out the intolerance. We can't tolerate that.
