Geert Wilders: Islam’s War Against the Free West

Below are the video and transcript to Geert Wilders’ speech at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s 20th Anniversary Restoration Weekend. The event took place Nov. 13th-16th at the Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Florida. 

 

It is always a pleasure to be in the United States. And it is an honor to be at Restoration Weekend again. Especially at this moment when a new Congress and a new majority in the Senate are preparing to lead this great country and change it for the better.

I am a politician from Europe. I am a member of the House of Representatives in the Netherlands and the leader of the Party for Freedom, the leading party in the Dutch opinion polls today.

Before I continue, let me tell you something about my life as a European politician.

I am not a President, nor a Governor, nor even a member of Cabinet, just a member of Congress. For over ten years now, I have been living under 24/7 police protection. I lived with my wife in army barracks, prison cells and safe houses until this very day, just to be safe.

Wherever I go, armed policemen accompany me to protect me against Islamic jihadis. Al Qaida, the Taliban, ISIS and many others threatened to kill me because I tell the truth about Islam and speak out against the Islamization of our free Western societies.

In Europe we have made a terrible mistake. During the past decades, our politicians foolishly allowed millions of Islamic immigrants to settle within our borders. Everywhere the Islamic culture was welcomed as an enrichment. Nowhere was the demand made that the immigrants assimilate.

Not a single European leader had the guts to state the obvious and tell the truth: Our Western culture based on Christianity, Judaism and Humanism, is far superior to the Islamic culture and immigrants have to adopt our values.

And now, we in Europe are paying the price for this folly. Islam is eating away our Judeo-Christian and humanist civilization and replacing it with intolerance, hatred and violence. And our so-called leaders allow it.

25 years ago, the Berlin Wall fell and the Iron Curtain was dismantled. Thanks to President Ronald Reagan, America’s greatest and best President ever, the totalitarian ideology of Communism was defeated in Europe and my continent was liberated. But now another totalitarianism has nestled itself in the heart of Europe.

Last Summer, my home town, The Hague, witnessed scenes which brought back memories of the darkest period in our history, the Nazi era. Sympathizers of the Islamic State paraded in our streets. They carried swastikas, they carried the black flags of the Islamic State. They shouted “Death to the Jews” and “Oh Jews, the army of Mohammed is coming for you”. In the streets of The Hague in broad daylight. And instead of rounding up these hatemongers, the Dutch authorities did nothing.

When we in Europa warn against Islam, the authorities call it hate speech and bring us to court. But when the grim forces of hatred march down our streets, the police look on and do not interfere. It is a disgrace. It is a scandal. It is intolerable.

Islam is waging war against the free West. Only fools can deny it. The Islamic State has declared war on us. We have already had our share of beheadings in Europe. And it has started here, too.

America and its allies are currently bombing the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. Excellent. My party supports this offensive. I am glad that Dutch and American F16s participate in it and that our two nations stand shoulder to shoulder in this endeavor. We should liquidate Abu Bakr Al-Bagdadi and the other criminals who are leading the Islamic State.

But we have to do more than that. Far more important than fighting Islamic State abroad, is the fight to preserve our own security in our own countries. In the Netherlands, in America, in Canada, in Australia, in all the other European and Western countries. It is our homes that we must protect first and foremost. And we are not doing that.

Recently, the Dutch authorities prevented over 50 jihadis to leave our country, when they attempted to go to Syria to fight for the Islamic State. Their passports were seized. But they were sent home instead of jailed. Can you believe it? These criminals now freely walk our streets and make them unsafe.

The jihadis who last month murdered soldiers in Canada were also people whom the authorities had previously prevented to leave for Syria. What I suggest is that we either detain every jihadi or let them leave and never return. Once you’re out, you’re out!

My friends, let us be brave. That is what we must do. That is our duty.

Let me ask you: Do our leaders tell us the truth? Unfortunately not. They even lie to us.

Everyday, we hear them repeat the sickening mantra that Islam is a religion of peace. Whenever an atrocity is committed in the name of Islam, whenever someone is beheaded in Syria or Iraq, Barack Obama, David Cameron, my own Dutch Prime Minister and many of their colleagues rush to the television cameras to tell the world that it has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. How stupid do they think we are?!

The Koran is full of verses such as sura 47 verse 4: “When ye meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks and cause a bloodbath among them.” How much more Islamic do you want it, Mr. Obama?

With every new terrorist crime, with every new attack, with every new beheading, it becomes clear to ever more people what the true nature of Islam is. With every Islamic assault on our values, more and more people realize that Islam wants to conquer the world, that it is prepared to terrorize, kill or enslave anyone who refuses to submit. And that it is ready to commit the biggest atrocities to achieve this goal.

Of course – I repeat it wherever I go – of course, there are many moderate Muslims. I believe in moderate people, but I do not believe in a moderate Islam. There is only one Islam – the Islam of the Koran, the Hadith and the life of Muhammad, who was a terrorist and a warlord. But even though there are many moderate Muslims, it is wrong to think that the moderates are a majority. They are not.

This week, a terrifying poll was published in my country. We already knew that three quarters of all the Muslims in The Netherlands say that Dutch Muslims who go and fight in Syria are heroes. Can you believe it? Heroes!

But now it appears that 80% of our Turkish youths do not consider it wrong to use violence against non-believers. And they also support the armed combat of Hamas against our ally Israel – the only democracy in the Middle East. My friends, we cannot tolerate within our borders extremists who not only want to destroy our nations but also the Jewish homeland.

We stand with Israel. We defend Israel. Israel is one of us. We are Israel. If Israel falls, the West falls.

A few years ago, I called on Muslims to liberate themselves from the yoke of Islam, to choose for freedom. I wholeheartedly support Muslims who love freedom. So, I told them “Free yourselves. Leave Islam.” And I still stand by this appeal. But this does not blind me to the terrible reality that we are facing today.

The day before yesterday, there was a quarrel in our parliament in The Netherlands. That is nothing remarkable of course. As you know, Congressmen quarrel all the time. They do it here, they do it even in my country. They do it everywhere. But this time something extraordinary happened.

We had one Dutch Congressman, a Turk, threatening another – a Morrocan – shouting “May Allah punish you!” And that is not all. They also demanded special washing rooms for Muslims in Parliament and they do not accept being contradicted by female members of Congress.

That is the parliament of the Kingdom of the Netherlands today. Politicians invoking Allah, threatening each other with Islamic curses, demanding special washing rooms, and treating women as inferior beings. Meanwhile the Dutch public prosecutor is going after me again.

You may have heard that three years ago, I was taken to court on hate crime charges. A court case that lasted almost 2 years. Fortunately, I was acquitted on all charges. But now, they want to bring me to court again. They do not see Islam or jihadis as a problem; they see me as the problem.

They try to silence the messenger. But they will never succeed. Because I will always speak out and tell the truth about Islam. We will never be silent or silenced.

Because we love our country. Because we love our freedom. Because we believe that without liberty, life is not worth living.

We celebrate life; jihadis celebrate death.

My friends, when politicians become appeasers of evil, the people must speak. This is why I have established the International Freedom Alliance IFA. It is an international organization to fight for freedom and oppose Islam. Here in America, in Europe, in Israel, in Canada, in Australia, everywhere in the free world. IFA aims to be a network of resistance in all the countries threatened by Islam.

Our mission is to stop all immigration from Islamic countries, to stimulate voluntary remigration of Islamic people, and to expel criminals and jihadis. Our mission is to preserve and save our Judeo-Christian civilization and values.

Because there is nothing more precious than liberty and freedom. There is a path we will never choose, and that is the path of submission. We are neither prepared to collaborate with evil, nor to appease it. We must shout this so loud that even President Obama and political leaders all over the West will hear it.

Let us cry a river for every innocent victim of the Islamic State, for every poor girl abducted by Boko Haram in Nigeria, for every Jew, Christian, Yezidi persecuted in the Islamic world. But let us make sure that no-one will ever have to cry for our children. No-one. Never!

My friends, we have a duty. We are the torchbearers for freedom. We are the torchbearers for a civilization that is far superior to any other civilization on earth. We are the torchbearers for a better future – a future without Islamic intolerance and violence. As you sing so proudly in your beautiful national anthem, your country, the great America, it is “the land of the free, the home of the brave.” So, be brave, America, and keep your land free!

Avoid all the mistakes Europe made. Protect America against Islam. Stop the immigration from Islamic countries. Go forth with courage. Keep the light of liberty shining. Save freedom! Save America.

Thank you.

    Thank you Mr Wilders for your guidance and encouragement .

    Finally a succinct but comprehensive definition of islamophobe:

    Islamophobe (noun):
    A derogatory term for a non-Muslim who has a clue about Islam and Jihad.

  • KingHasNoClothes

    The only politician I am aware of that actually speaks the plain truth.

    • JacksonPearson

      Gotta love Geert Wilders, to call it like is, not only for the present, but has been going on for a very long time. Wilders voice is a light, in a very dark world. Yes, contrary to the lies from our politicians, and MSM, the West has been at war with Islam, and unless totally crushed to dust, won’t ever end PERIOD

      • Space Cowboy

        The sole fundamental purpose of mainstream orthodox Islam (the only kind) is to convert all infidels to Islam or to otherwise kill or subjugate them via jihad and the eventual imposition of Sharia to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme throughout the world.

        • JacksonPearson

          Islam has been killing humanity for a very long time, and aren’t about to be deterred now their ultimate goal of world

        • Edward E

          Plan for White geNOcide that “anti-racists” implement:

          1) Flood EVERY & ONLY White countries with MILLIONS of non-Whites

          2) Force integrate these immigrants into White communities. This is done with the aid of Federal Laws

          3) Push interracial relationships night and day in the media & newspaper

          advertisements, in ONLY White countries

          4) Anyone that objects is called the r-word!

          5) Then, inform the Whites of their inevitable brown future

          Anti-Racist is a code for anti-White

    • knowshistory

      wilders is not a politician. he is a freedom fighter. a politician holds his finger to the wind, and is in favor of any stupidity that will get him reelected. staying in power is the one and only consideration for a politician. saving his country, or his family, or his kind, or his population from destruction is not a consideration for a politician. getting and keeping power is the one and only thing that matters to a politician. wilders is not a politician.

    • Space Cowboy

      Geert Wilders has more courage in the palm of his hands than the entire Republican Party combined.

      Mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage is really stealth jihad waged intentionally non-violently by design and on purpose for the strategic purposes of mass Muslim infiltration of our governments, Islamization of our societies, and for eventual demographic conquest. Thus, common sense as opposed to political correctness dictates that mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage be banned and reversed ASAP.

      By the way, the so-called moderate Muslims Wilders speaks about are not considered to be Muslims by all mainstream orthodox Muslims. Instead, they are considered to be apostates and blasphemers that must be executed according to the dictates of Islam.

      Jihad is not terrorism. As terrorism only involves a small minority of radicals and extremists. Jihad, on the other hand, is a so-called holy war waged by all Muslims in the world by any and all means both violently and non-violently against all infidels in the world to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme throughout the world. It’s both a civilizational war and a world war, and world war is far more profound relative to only terrorism.

      Mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage is the Islamic totalitarian world’s version of the Cold War.

        Democrats are more guilty than Republicans- who’s in charge of immigration policy? Oh yes, Hussein Obama…

    “For over ten years now, I have been living under 24/7 police protection. I lived with my wife in army barracks, prison cells and safe houses until this very day, just to be safe” – Geert Wliders.

    It’s not just you Mr Wilders. The entire West is becoming increasingly unsafe
    because of Jihadists plotting to kill we infidels.
    We are gradually loosing our liberties because of Islam’s incursion into the
    West and other parts of the non-Muslim world. Not only is free speech threatened, security agencies like NSA now eavesdrop on our communications. Because of Muslims we have to endure intrusive searches at airports.

    “Recently, the Dutch authorities prevented over 50 jihadis to leave our country, when they attempted to go to Syria to fight for the Islamic State. Their passports were seized” – Geert Wilders.

    They should have been allowed to leave but never allowed to return. As Canada
    recently found out the hard way, keeping wannabe ISIS Jihadists in the West is
    dangerous. If they can’t go join ISIS, they can perpetrate mayhem in the West.

    “This week, a terrifying poll was published in my country… three quarters of all the Muslims in The Netherlands say that Dutch Muslims who go and fight in Syria are heroes” – Geert Wilders.

    Then they should all go and join ISIS. It would be much easier to wipe them all
    out with one massive strike if they all aggregate in the Caliphate… nuke ‘em.

  • L.S.

    Love this man.
    So true!! In the US we don’t have a politician like Geert who will speak the truth about Islam and what the Muslims are doing to our freedom.

  • jiacomino uk

    Things will change,provided Mr Wilders becomes the prime minister of Holland with full powers,and the rest of all of us follow his actions and get rid of the Islamic plague.Vive la liberte

    America is not part of the Free West anymore.

    • knowshistory

      who is?

  • Texas Patriot

    No one since the Founding Fathers in America has anyone spoken so eloquently and so well about the insidious threat of Tyranny to Western Civilization. Even the great Winston Churchill would tip his hat to Geert Wilders. The truth is that Tyranny never sleeps and never rests, and always assumes new forms and new disguises to trick the sleeping freedom lovers of the West. As Thomas Jefferson said, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Geert Wilders it seems, has never been asleep, but rather has been wide awake even as the rest of us slept. We owe him a debt of gratitude that we may never be able to repay.

  • Texas Patriot

    Instead of allowing Muslims to call Westerners “Islamophobes”, Westerners should point out the obvious phobia that Muslims have for the truth about their own religion. Why pretend? It drives Muslims completely crazy to have to face the historical facts about the teachings and life example of Muhammad and his followers. Does that make Muslims “Truthophobes”? Of course it does. But telling them that will only make them even more phobic. The reality is that if Muslims want to remain in total denial about the historical facts surrounding the teachings and life example of Muhammad and his followers, they should go someplace where no one will ever interfere with their fantasies.

    • Bamaguje

      Real Muslims don’t really believe any of the “Islam is peace” crap.
      Their so-called denial is just for Western/non-Muslim consumption… Taqiyya (deception) to hoodwink we infidels into letting down our guard, and not take crucial defensive measures against Jihad.

      • Pete

        “It is also disturbing how few to nonexistent have been the public demonstrations of anger in the Arab and Muslims worlds over the crimes being perpetrated in Iraq — notwithstanding the clear condemnation by many Arab and Islamic governments,” Mr. Al Hussein said.

  • Dan Nowotarski

    Geert Wilders is a Global Freedom Fighter who has to live under constant guard, whereas President Obama and his administration have been supporting some of the very Muslim Terrorist groups who wish to do Geert Wilders harm. Many of our elected leaders have no conviction to the founding principles on what this country was found, and are willing to allow the President to reign supreme. Their only concern is their own political careers, they wake up each morning waiting for the weather report just to see which way the wind is blowing so they know what to stand for. Geert Wilders was never bothered by popular opinion, I believe Geert Wilders resonates the same Character strength as our Founding Fathers who gave of themselves as so many after them have, Geert Wilders has given up much in given so much of himself in sounding the alarm about the true threat of Islam. We have become a rich nation, and too many get involved in politics to get what they feel is their piece of the pie, and now these useless, weak, manipulating takers are supporting the downward spiral of this country. We need less of them and more Geert Wilders in this world.

    • Bamaguje

      I totally agree.
      Anti-Jihadis like Wilders, Robert Spencer, Ibn Warraq, Pamela Geller, Ali Sina… should get the next Nobel peace prize.
      They are far more valuable to humanity than the politically correct Jihad deniers – Obama, Cameron etc

  • Mo86

    Dear Santa,

    For Christmas, I would like a debate between Geert Wilders and Barack Obama on Islam, especially where it concerns immigration.

    (I can dream. It’s Christmas, after all!)

  • joe kulak

    I don’t care if every last Islamist must be driven from our shores, no American should ever have to live under guard as this man has. Let us nip in the bud this insurrection of our liberty, this evil.

  • Geppetto

    Mr, Wilders and his IFA movement need professional help. Entering IFA as a Google search term returns nothing about the International Freedom Alliance in the 1st 3 pages. For what should be a major international effort that’s bewildering. Entering the full title as the Google search term returns a page with the 1st item a Wikipedia entry regarding the IFA as being a 2010 proposal by Mr. Wilders. Entering the URL from the 2nd Google entry, http://www.libertiesalliance.org/2010/07/16/geert-wilders-international-freedom-alliance/ returns a notice of a holding page for the IFA, http://geertwildersinternationalfreedomalliance.com/.
    Clicking on that returns a Goggle like search page listing references to articles, etc. re the IFA. Another URL, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=143988035616607
    linking to an IFA facebook page returns “Sorry, this page isn’t available.”

    Geert Wilders is an important voice in this struggle against the Jihad. Either some nefarious entity is successfully restricting access to his IFA or the latter needs some professional help so that it can get IFA’s message out to the internet community.

      wow. what an image. that would be so wonderful. the scary thing: isis would kill her as soon as any of the rest of us. isis is very nondiscriminatory. they kill westerners, be they patriots, or scoundrels, or muslim sympathizers, Israel haters, converted muslims, or other useful idiots. they just kill.

    Bravo Mr Wilders.

  • knowshistory

    I wonder what would be the result if someone in America with no political record ran for office on the basis that he is an implacable enemy of foreign invasion, both muslim and other, and would work tirelessly to end foreign invasion, muslim and otherwise. I think the professional traitors (politicians) would be surprised.

  • RMThoughts

    The US has supported Al Qaeda and its affiliated organizations for almost half a century since the heyday of the Soviet Afghan war.

    NATO and the Turkish High Command were responsible for the recruitment of ISIL and Al Nusrah mercenaries from the outset of the Syrian insurgency in March 2011. According to Israeli intelligence sources, this initiative consisted in: “a campaign to enlist thousands of Muslim volunteers in Middle East countries and the Muslim world to fight alongside the Syrian rebels. The Turkish army would house these volunteers, train them and secure their passage into Syria. (DEBKAfile, NATO to give rebels anti-tank weapons, August 14, 2011.)

    Jihadist fighters have met Israeli IDF officers as well as Prime Minister Netanyahu. The IDF top brass tacitly acknowledges that“global jihad elements inside Syria” [ISIL and Al Nusrah] are supported by Israel.

    We in America still have the right to bear arms. All we ever hear about is those murderers who make the news. MILLIONS of us target shoot, hunt or just shoot tin cans down a country road. When the time comes, America, because of it’s Second Amendment will be the epicenter of the push back and at some point when they becomne openly violent we will kill them.

    Not true- Britain has had West Indian, Pakistani, Indian and many other cultures integrated successfully- what doesn’t work is MUSLIM immigration and we need to be clear about it!!
