Take a walk down the street and see where this is going. You no longer feel like you are living in your own country. There is a battle going on and we have to defend ourselves. Before you know it there will be more mosques than churches!

Geert Wilders

The Koran is an inspiration for intolerance, murder and terror.

Geert Wilders

If the Jews are denied the right to live in freedom and peace, soon we will all be denied this right. If the light of Israel is extinguished, we will all face darkness. If Israel falls, the West falls.

Geert Wilders

We must never give a free hand to those who want to subjugate us, draw this line so that New York will never become New Mecca.

Geert Wilders

There is no equality between our culture and the retarded Islamic culture. Look at their views on homosexuality or women.

Geert Wilders

I don't hate Muslims. I hate Islam.

Geert Wilders

Wilders: Do you want more or fewer Moroccans in this city and in the Netherlands? Public: Fewer! Fewer! Fewer! Wilders: We'll take care of that.

I do not pretend to be a man who knows no fear, but when I heard about van Gogh's murder I can honestly say I felt anger, not fear. I defiantly proclaimed to the journalists that I would not allow anyone to intimidate me into silence. I was angry at the assassin and his accomplices, I was angry at Islam-this doctrine that has people murdered for their opinions-and I was angry at the naive politicians, journalists, and so-called intellectuals in the West who refuse to admit how dangerous Islam is and how fundamentally incompatible it is with our Western values and ideals.

Geert Wilders

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighbourhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, ... Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

Geert Wilders

I've had enough of the Quran in The Netherlands: ban that fascist book.

Geert Wilders

The Dutch example shows that when people overcome their fear, David can defeat Goliath. For decades, the multicultural elite suppressed dissent by denouncing as racists anyone who questioned their pro-Islam, pro-mass immigration dogma. But finally, after silently watching for years the immense damage done to our nation by the elite's policies, the Dutch people had enough. In the face of all the threats and intimidation levelled against my supporters, enough people had the courage to vote for the PW that we fundamentally altered our country's politics. All it takes is courage.

Geert Wilders

Moderate Islam? That's a contradiction.

Geert Wilders

The historical Muhammad was the savage leader of a gang of robbers from Medina. Without scruples they looted, raped and murdered. The sources describe orgies of savagery where hundreds of people's throats were cut, hands and feet chopped off, eyes cut out, entire tribes massacred. An example is the extinction of the jewish Kurayza tribe in Medina in 627. One of those who chopped off their heads was Muhammad. The women and children were sold as slaves. Confronted with the lunacy of Islamic terrorists today, it is not hard to find out where the lunacy comes from.

Geert Wilders

The Koran on the table before you, is a handbook for terrorists. Blood drips from its pages. It calls for perpetual war against non-believers. That Koran before you is the hunting permit for millions of Muslims. A license to kill.

Geert Wilders

I have nothing against the people. I don't hate Muslims. But Islam is a totalitarian ideology. It rules every aspect of life - economics, family law, whatever. It has religious symbols, it has a God, it has a book - but it's not a religion. It can be compared with totalitarian ideologies like Communism or fascism. There is no country where Islam is dominant where you have a real democracy, a real separation between church and state.

Geert Wilders

The truth is: Islam does not belong to us. It brings violence and danger everywhere. We need to deislamize and close our borders.

Geert Wilders

Islam is not just a religion, as many Americans believe, but primarily a political ideology in the guise of a religion.

Geert Wilders

Islam and freedom are not compatible. You see it in almost every country where it dominates. There is a total lack of freedom, civil society, rule of law, middle class; journalists, gays, apostates - they are all in trouble in those places. And we import it.

Geert Wilders

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means "submission". Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Geert Wilders

It is not only the privilege, but also the duty of free people – to speak out against any ideology that threatens freedom. Hence it is a right and a duty ... to speak the truth about the evil ideology that is called Islam.

Geert Wilders

If we continue being naive we will lose everything.

Geert Wilders

We should ... stop the political indoctrination of our children and begin proudly teaching them the real history of the West instead of multiculturalist lies designed to instill shame in our own heritage. We must also prepare the coming generation for the difficult times ahead.
