Dutch leader
Geert Wilders at GOP convention backing Trump, He’s ‘fighting for his own people, and that is what we are
lacking in Europe’, by Art Moore, 7/21/16
CLEVELAND — Traveling
with the permanent security detail provided by the Dutch government because of
threats due to his stance on Islamic immigration, Dutch politician Geert
Wilders showed up at the Republican Convention advocating the election of
Donald Trump.
“Mr. Trump is a
politician, whether the Europeans like him or not, who has one interest, and
that is the interest of the American people,” Wilders said in an interview at
Quicken Loans Arena.
Europe is notably
lacking such leaders, said Wilders, who wears a bullet-proof vest, lives in a
safe house and is escorted to his office at The Hague in an armored vehicle
each work day.
“We have hundreds of
Obamas in the European Union and, in a political way, we have to get rid of
them,” he said. Wilders said Trump is
“fighting for his own people, and that is what we are lacking in Europe, when
it comes to trade, when it comes to immigration, when it comes to jobs, when it
comes to so many issues.”
Europe, he said, suffers
from the “disease of cultural relativism” which has led to an open-border
policy that makes “no demands for assimilation for people who come to our
societies.”
Wilders, who distances
himself from European anti-immigration extremists such as Marine Le Pen of
France and Joerg Haider of Austria, insists he does not hate Muslims but is
convinced that Islam itself is the problem. He concludes that since the
Netherlands has banned Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” it also should ban the Quran,
because it’s the source of an ongoing, 14-century effort to bring the entire
world under the rule of Islamic law. The “Islamization” of Europe, he contends,
is threatening Judeo-Christian culture, which he maintains, to the
consternation of a multicultural establishment, is superior to the culture of
Islamic nations.
