How to Confront the Islamic State

islamic-stateBelow is a speech delivered by Geert Wilders in the Dutch Parliament during the recent parliamentary debate about the military mission to fight ISIS in Iraq:

Madam Speaker,

The Islamic State is an Islamic cancer. It is a poisonous snake based on the Quran and the life of Muhammad, a criminal who 14 centuries ago went, murdering and decapitating, from Medina to Mecca. His self-appointed successor Caliph Baghdadi is now at the gates of Baghdad and Damascus. He has followers all over the world, including in our country, our cities and streets. Again,people are beheaded according to the Koranic commands such as Sura 47 verse 4: “When ye meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks and when ye have caused a bloodbath among them bind a bond firmly on them.” Even moderate Muslims cannot escape violence because, according to the Koran and the Sharia, they are apostates.

All the gullible minds who say that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam are committing a serious politically-correct error, whether they are Obama, Cameron, Rutte or Samsom.

We are at war. War has been declared against the free West. Our freedom, our culture, the future of our country and our children are at stake. We must strike back hard,  in the Netherlands, in the rest of the West and also in Iraq and Syria. Hence, my party supports the Government’s decision to deploy Dutch F16s against the Islamic state. We say: Let us bomb them.

But we have no understanding for the fact that we are only going to bomb in Iraq and not in Syria. Is it OK for the Government that people are beheaded, women raped and genocide committed in Syria because a mandate under international law is missing? What a cowardice. The government says it understands the United States when they bomb the Islamic State in Syria, but it does not participate itself. Understanding, but no participation, What a cowardly halfheartedness.

Even more important than fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is fighting Islamic terrorism in the Netherlands. The security of the Netherlands should be priority number 1. Our citizens have to be safe on the train, in the streets, when walking their children to school and shopping. That is what truly matters.  In its letter to Parliament, the Government only devotes two paragraphs to national security. There is even more attention for issues of gender and the position of women in the Arab world. That is a travesty.

Madam Speaker, we must protect the Netherlands. That is why we were elected. To protect our citizens. Not only the citizens of Iraq and Syria, but also and especially our own people here in the Netherlands. Why is the army not deployed to protect our railways stations? And in their uniforms and heavily armed, of course.

And why do we try to stop jihadists when they want to leave our country? Last Sunday, the Minister of Security and Justice proudly said that the passports of 41 jihadists had been canceled so they could not leave to Syria or Iraq. What a stupid act. Now they walk around here, in our streets. People who want to wage jihad elsewhere, decapitate, commit attacks, walk our streets because of the decision of the Minister.

I have been saying it for ten years and I will repeat it once again:

Close the borders to immigrants from Islamic countries. Enough is enough. The Islamic culture of hatred does not belong in the Netherlands. 65 per cent of the Dutch agree with this.

Let jihadists leave the country, but let them never come back. Reintroduce border controls.

Evict everyone who expresses sympathy for the Islamic State, deprive them of their Dutch passports. Let everyone with a passport from an Islamic country to sign an anti-Sharia declaration.

Wake up, I say to the Government. Protect not only the Iraqi people against the Islamic State, protect the Dutch against the Islamic terrorist threat in our own country. That is your job, that is your responsibility. Take that responsibility. Do your duty.

    Sounds about right.

  • John Adams

    ISIS is simply a metastasizing malignant cancer and needs to be surgically removed or treated with a sudden burst of intense radiation !!!

    • Gee

      Islam is a ‘metastasizing malignant cancer and needs to be surgically removed or treated with a sudden burst of intense radiation !!!’

    • CapitalistPig

      I move for the “sudden burst of radiation” option.

  • Texas Patriot

    Gert Wilders was the first major political leader in the West to recognize the dangers of islamic extremism and terrorism, and he’s been saying the same thing for the last several years. Now even the moderate and friendly nations of the Middle East are recognizing the danger and joining together to combat it. All that remains is for all of the rest of the major political figures of the world to wake up and join the fight. When the political leaders of America, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany stand together in common cause to confront and defeat this menace whenever and wherever it is found, then and only then will the civilized world begin to make progress toward its own survival. What is amazing about it all is that it is taking everyone so long to wake up, open their eyes, and see the handwriting on the wall.

    • Bamaguje

      “What is truly amazing about it though is that it has taken everyone so long to wake up, open their eyes and see the danger for what it is” – Texas Patriot.

      Obama, Kerry, Cameron and the rest of the “nothing to do with Islam” crowd haven’t woken up.

      • Texas Patriot

        I disagree. Obama is now calling it a cancerous extremism , and Cameron now calling it a poisonous ideology. I’d say that is a significant step in the right direction. As long as moderate and friendly Muslim nations are now willing to denounce Islamic extremism and terrorism and commit substantially to the war effort, we’re better off than we’ve been before.

        • Gee

          But they also claim with the exact same statement that those extremists have nothing to do with Islam.

          They want it both ways at the same time.

          • Texas Patriot

            I think it is fair to say that the views of both Obama and Cameron are evolving.

          • 8ball

            It’s fair to say Obama’s lying.

          • Bamaguje

            They cannot deny the obvious evil, but also cannot bring themselves to condemn Islam.

  • cheechakos

    How soon can we elect him president of the US? : )

  • http://libertyandculture.blogspot.com/ Jason P

    Now that the world can see what Islam is really like, given the successful rise of the Islamic State and new Caliphate, perhaps even Geert’s brother Paul will even admit that Islam is a problem. How about it Paul?

  • mtnhikerdude

    How will American citizens react to an ISIS attack that will pale 9-11 ?

    • 1Indioviejo1

      With outrage! It will last about a week, give or take..

    • gamer2012

      By building more mosques.

      • Bamaguje

        More leftist appeasement of Muslims

  • Rosasolis

    I first heard Geert’s speech in Dutch, which he delivered during the opening
    of our parliament. These are the main points of what he had read just over
    2 weeks ago. I am glad he has translated this article for FrontPage magazine,
    And I hope that many reactions will now follow from Americans and others who are worried about The Islamic Threat to our entire Western Civilization.
    Our Netherlands government is one of the first in the world to pass new laws to
    to keep the growth of Islamic terrorism under control. And many others are
    now being prepared, and will also soon follow.
    This country has one of the oldest Constitutions in Europe. According to this
    constitution we are a Christian country, which provides help and gives humanitary aid to all people in need…
    But the Islamic communities, for whom we have
    provided shelter, care, and employment during the past 25 – 30 years have
    taken advantage of all this, and have mis-used all the help we had provided!
    Instead of showing some kind of gratitude to this country, and to the
    benefits that they have received, they have turned upon the people of Netherlands!, who had once given them hope of a better life than they had
    in the Middle-east countries which they had fled from.
    But enough is enough! Our people in cities as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht,
    and The Hague, are now very worried, and especially the poor communities
    (which have also a large, growing Islamic population) are frightened because
    of the recent Islamic Jihad riots.
    Our military has sent out several F-16 fighter planes which are now joining in
    the fight against IS groups in Iraq. Our marine and land troups are also joinijng
    in with other European and American groups. We must now take action…
    if our Western Civilization is to survive! Any government which has doubts
    about how serious the situation has become should be forced to resign!

    HOW TO DEAL WITH ISIS? NUKE EVERY ONE OF THE AREAS I N EVERY COUNTRY WHERE THEY CONTROL LAND. KILL THEM ALL. THAT IS HOW YOU DEAL WITH AN ENEMY.

  • http://www.hubpages.com/profiles/maven101 LarryConners

    Geert sees the world as it really is, not as some would like it to be…Political correctness has blinded the Western world to the reality of Islamic terrorism, its ultimate goals, and the perversity of its teachings…, The CIA, with Obama’s blessing, created ISIS in Syria, an Islamic terror gang funded by the Saudis and given billions in US military equipment and training…Obama’s tepid response to the ISIS incursion into Iraq, the politically charged RoE, and the equally tepid support of our overly-cautious allies, all encourage further outrage and aggressive action by this so-called “Junior Varsity” Islamic organization…
    Mr. Wilders exhortations, while founded on cold facts and logical reasoning, is a voice crying in the wilderness, a politically correct wilderness where reason and critical thinking are absent…

  • gtmancan

    The Mohammedan only understands the sword. Send in the entire military forces of the free world, destroy the evil and impose a pro western leader.

  • Ganesha_akbar

    We are at war. War has been declared against the free West. Our freedom, our culture, the future of our country and our children are at stake. We must strike back hard…Let us bomb them.

    Meanwhile in an alternate universe, the Greatest Generation whined about “workplace violence” while Shinto-fascists were beheading Americans.

    Shinto-fascist beheaders were pacified the hard way by Democrat Harry Truman.
    Give 72 hours notice to evacuate, then glass the Kaba’a.
    No more hajj. No more Tawaf. No more Islam. Game over.

    • NSNZ

      Give precisely zero hours notice. Yeah!

      • Ganesha_akbar

        Nope. They get one (1) hour per raisin.

        Devout necromongers need some target-rich time to kiss Allah’s vah-jay-jay goodbye.

  • ratonis

    Moral clarity! How novel.

  • Hellosnackbar

    Geert Wilders has been delivering common sense for many years!
    He’s accused of being a right wing extremist by left wing worms who embrace Islamofascism!

  • Barbarossa Rotbart

    According to German state TV News

    TURKEY IS ACTIVELY SUPPORTING ISIS

    Turkey is a NATO member state.

    Nobody seems to take notice

    What the heck is going on?

    • gamer2012

      Do you really not understand? You cannot wake someone up who is pretending to be asleep.

    • http://www.facebook.com/aemoreira81 aemoreira81

      Turkey has a reason for supporting the Islamic State—because IS is seeking to overthrow Assad. The ultimate benefit of that will be that Turkey gets to be the deliverer of Saudi natural gas to western Europe, to be priced below the rates Gazprom charges. However, Assad is a block to a pipeline.

  • gamer2012

    Geert is a Western hero. God Bless Him.

    End Muslim immigration.

  • Ganesha_akbar

    No great irony at all. For those who wish to explore the subject of Leftist-fascism in further depth, a useful resource would be a book by an expert on Italian Fascism: “The Faces of Janus: Marxism and Fascism in the 20th Century”, by A. James Gregor.

    Gregor exhaustively demonstrates that Fascism and Nazism modelled their methods on the atheistic Marxism of Lenin and Stalin; and that the Fascist idea of adding nationalism to socialism was later taken up by Stalin and Mao— so that (in the end) Fascism and Communism were merely twin atheistic Marxist sects. Thus, during the era of their big confrontation, Soviet Russia and Maoist China were perfectly correct in accusing one-another of being “fascists.” 100s of millions of innocent corpses don’t lie.

    Fascists and Islamists were allies during WWII and are again now. Fascism is Leftist.

  • bill reitzes

    What we are seeing, is Islam taking full advantage of our PC observance of human rights.
    It’s a perfect storm.
    When it comes to security, security must supersede rights.
    There can NOT be human rights without security in place to enforce rights observance.

  • veritaseequitas

    Gee, can we get him here in the US?

  • PatnTrucks

    I’ll vote for this man anytime! What bravery! Be sure to read his book, “Marked for Death”. Find it on amazon.com and his biography. A brave man.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    Even moderate Muslims cannot escape violence because, according to the Koran and the Sharia, they are apostates.

    Damn…he stole that from me. He must be reading my posts here on FPM.

    Close the borders to immigrants from Islamic countries. Enough is enough. The Islamic culture of hatred does not belong in the Netherlands. 65 per cent of the Dutch agree with this.

    Not only in the Netherlands, but also in America and, indeed, throughout the infidel world as well. Also outlaw Islam, close the mosques, and ban the Koran.

    Let everyone with a passport from an Islamic country to sign an anti-Sharia declaration.

    A Muslim can’t be a Muslim and at the same time be anti-Sharia, as Sharia is the “will of Allah. Indeed, the first and foremost requirement of Islam is the total, complete, and unconditional “submission” to the “will of Allah”, i.e., Sharia, under the penalties of death for apostasy and death for blasphemy.

  • knowshistory

    better to require them all to go fight for ISIS. then don’t let any of them return.

  • bigjulie

    Geert Wilders has long spoken out about the philosophical dangers of Islam and the threat they pose to what we know as “Western” civilization. Their
    “holy book” (the Qu’ran) is replete with examples of how the “Religion of Peace”
    plans its continued “peaceful” existence. There is one, and only one, way and that is the conversion of the entire planet to Islam and the slaughter or enslavement of the rest! This is not wild speculation…this is demonstrable and written FACT in their own spiritual guides, the Qu’ran and the Hadiths. Those Muslims who are bidden to participate in the Islamisation of the planet but are not currently involved, are technically “slackers” and can themselves be subject to Islamic Law punishments themselves.
    So why do the millions of “moderate” Muslims, (you know…the “peaceful” ones) who are not currently taking the actions they are bidden to take by the tenets of their faith, not protesting and/or organizing against such elements such as ISIS or ISIL? Simple! They already know what will happen to them if they do!
    The portions of Islamic leadership promoting the actions of Boko Haram, ISIS and ISIL and the others directly concerned with their usual 7th century “persuasive” brutality know they have no fear of being contradicted by “peaceful” Muslims, or interfered-with while they continue to commit the rapes, beheadings, murders, honor killings, female sexual mutilations, ect. all in accordance with the Word of Allah and His Prophet, Mohammed!
    Geert Wilders is absolutely correct! There is no “co-existing” possible with Islam. There is absolutely no place for such a “religion” or its “philosophy” in a civilized world. Those who are “politically correct” and continue to exist believing that there is plenty of room for “all” religions in Western Civilization should be called by their alternative name…”Muslims in Training”!

  • UniteAgainstIslamism

    Sensible solutions by Wilders that will enable us to reassert western civilization cultural stablity. But it takes real leadership to do it and that is something we simply don’t have…

  • USARetired

    America must wake up and figure out how to deport 9 million Muslims from this nation! A devout Muslim cannot also be a law abiding citizen, Not possible in America!
