Radical Dutch anti-immigrant party has US ties

The Freedom Party of Dutch anti-immigration radical Geert Wilders won a major victory in that nation’s voting for the European parliament on Thursday, taking 15% of the vote and four out of a total of 25 seats.

According to the Guardian, this represented a major gain over the 6% that Wilders’ party scored three years ago and brought them into second place, ahead of the Labour Party but still behind the Christian Democrats.

Wilders is well known in Europe for his radical positions. He has called for banning the Koran, deporting immigrants from the Netherlands, abolishing the European parliament, and kicking Romania and Bulgaria out of the European Union. In the United States, however, he has been warmly welcomed by conservative groups, who see him as a champion of free speech.

2. hmmm..... what if we discovered religion was a side effect of medical problems.. link>> maybe the
the guy knows something .. like this for instance.

http://users.skynet.be/sky50779/mohammed.htm
"A better scientific examination of the sources has made clear that all symptoms of acromegaly are present with some psychopathological paranoid traits. Acromegaly is caused by a small tumour of the hypophysis, ..snip"


"snip...According to the hadith Muhammad suffered from a long-lasting disease, which he treated by means of bleeding. He walked as somebody who comes down from a hill. His skin-colour was peculiar, not white, not too tanned, somewhat rosy. His eyebrows were conspicuous. He was sweating heavily, especially when he was receiving revelations. He heard the noise of bells and voices. He had a great appetite and suffered from hunger. ..snip"

perhaps these guys are just observant of their neighbors problems, which they wish to avoid... Islam is a personality cult, that person was obviously organically ill and suffered paranoia, which appears to be woven into the religion. granted there are some fine Muslims.. in spite of the religion problems, probably not because of it, just good people to begin with.. Islam is a good example of the "Iron Law of Oligarchy" people with a vested interest in manipulating a situation took over and turned it into something else for profit/power..

i realty am not just picking on Islam, i pick on all religion, Islam is a rare case, most religions seem to be a product of Schizophrenia.. Islam buds from a more benign disease.. but can be more destructive in some ways
