The House of Lords Speech: What Wilders Would Have Said If the UK Allowed Free Speech
Editor’s note: Below is the text of the address that Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders was invited to deliver at the House of Lords on Thursday, February 12, 2009. Instead of making this address and showing his film Fitna, he was detained by UK immigration officials on his arrival at London Heathrow airport and sent back to the Netherlands as a risk to “public security.”
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.
Thank you for inviting me. Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for showing Fitna, and for your gracious invitation. While others look away, you seem to understand the true tradition of your country, and a flag that still stands for freedom.
This is no ordinary place. This is not just one of England’s tourist attractions. This is a sacred place. This is the mother of all Parliaments, and I am deeply humbled to speak before you.
The Houses of Parliament is where Winston Churchill stood firm, and warned – all throughout the 1930s – for the dangers looming. Most of the time he stood alone. . . .

Wilders’ ban is in Britain’s best interests (says the fox to the hen)
His film encourages violence from both extremist Muslims and far-right groups: despite abuse and threats, I stand by my actions
When I found out that Geert Wilders was planning to come to Britain and that Baroness Cox and Lord Pearson wanted to show his film, I wrote to the Home Office, the leader of the House of Lords and Black Rod to say that his presence would lead to the incitement of religious and racial hatred, which constitutes a public order offence.
I pointed out that Wilders is already facing a serious charge in his home country for inciting racial hatred. Furthermore, Cox and Pearson could hardly use an argument for free speech to justify giving him this platform because Wilders himself is calling for the banning of the Qur’an.
Wilders’ film, Fitna, takes a lot of Qur’anic verses out of context [apparently, this is a man who hasn’t ever read the Qur’an; everything is out of context] and relates them to some terrible terrorist events, connecting them as though such acts are a religious teaching. I thought this would lead to extremist groups from both sides – far-right organisations like the BNP and extremist Muslims – rallying behind him.
No, you thought people have the brains to connect the dots and see the picture Wilders makes. —DOB

Geert Wilders to sue Jacqui Smith over decision to deport controversial film-maker
Dutch MP Geert Wilders is “seriously considering” taking steps to sue Jacqui Smith over her decision to ban the controversial film-maker from the UK.
The legal action would have the backing of the Dutch Government, in a move which could aggravate the diplomatic row over the ban between London and Amsterdam.
Mr Wilders said he was looking to take legal action against the Home Secretary for “blatant discrimination” in the High Court or International Court in the Hague.

Preserving ‘Harmony’ for Islamic Radicals
A friend, Stephanie, sent this bit of email correspondence with a friend of hers in Britain to me:
Dorrie:
It’s worse than you think. I sent a link of Andy McCarthy’s piece to my friend in the UK and here is what she wrote me:
Whilst I may not agree with Wilders, he has a right to voice his opinion and I would be interested in hearing his ideas. But we no longer have free speech in the true sense here.
Brown is weak and a terrible unelected PM – if you remember he took Tony Blair’s role when T.B. stepped down. The man crumbles regularly in front of our very eyes every time he is on tv. Disaster has a habit of following him around.
I would also add, Ken Livingstone our former Mayor of London entertained an extreme Muslim group a few years ago (can’t remember their name right now) who amongst other things were violently anti-gay. For some reason, that was okay.
As from a few nights ago, all emails and telephone calls and texts are being saved and logged in this country. So even our most private thoughts are being monitored. —Love, A.

Afghan diplomat Mohammed Fagirad charged in all-day wife beating
An Afghan diplomat was charged Friday with beating his wife “like a dog” for more than 15 hours in their Queens home, prosecutors said.
Mohammed Fagirad, 30, a vice consul at the Afghanistan Consulate, brutalized his wife inside their Flushing home from about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday until nearly midnight, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.
During the attack, Fagirad bit, slapped, choked and beat the 22-year-old woman with a belt, pushed her down a flight of stairs and sat on her chest, prosecutors said.
At one point, prosecutors said, Fagirad threw his wife up against a wall, held her there by the neck and then let her drop to the floor, where he beat her with a belt.
Fagirad told police his “wife was a dog and he was going to treat her like a dog,” prosecutors said.
When Fagirad left the home, his wife fled and went to the 109th Precinct stationhouse, where she filed a domestic violence report, prosecutors said. She then returned home.
When Fagirad returned, he demanded his wife’s cell phone and called police to file a counterclaim, [I suspect that was: “I didn’t do it”] prosecutors said.

Calif. polygamist gets life term for family abuses

Jilted man jailed for fire attack
A Pakistani man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a French court for setting fire to an ex-girlfriend who had refused to marry him.
Amer Mushtaq Butt doused the woman with petrol and set her alight as she was leaving her home in a Paris suburb.
Chahrazad Belayni, a 21-year-old Moroccan-born woman, suffered third-degree burns to 60% of her body.
The case has highlighted violence against women in poor urban communities with large Muslim populations.
No, it should be highlighting the fact that it’s okay for Muslim men to kill and/or beat the living daylights out of their females and see nothing wrong with it, in whatever economic state they’re in, .—DOB
