I hate Wilders because he hates me - simple.
He would have me and my kind driven out of western society. He labels my personal beliefs and lifestyle (which I practice peacefully and affects no one but me) as "not a religion but a dangerous ideology".
He hates my religion, and he hates me and all other muslims - and he promotes that hate through his public office. I'm not sure what else you would think would fit the definition of "hate monger". Its the incitement and hatred espoused by him and his ilk that contributes to such acts as the massacre of innocent students by Anders Breivik.
But thats not what this episode is about: this is about you people having double standards about what constitutes democracy. Protesting outside a venue where political ideas are being espoused, is a democratic right - regardless of how embarassed or uneasy that makes the people inside feel. You people would strip away this democratic right and call it "real democracy". For you people, democracy is a one way street - you get to express your views, but everyone else is silenced.
You, like every other Muslim, simply want to silence criticism of Islam. That's why Muslims kill people over cartoons, youtube vids, books.
Muslims need to do this a few times only to get everyone scared about making critical remarks about Islam in public
or private.Here's what Mark Stey said about Lars Hegedaraard whom Muslims tried to kill recently, in Denmark, for something he said in private in his own flat:
I received a couple of emails from prominent persons saying wasn't I a bit worried that some of the people here are a bit controversial and it might not be a good idea to be seen in the same room as them. And that's a fair point. Obviously, it would be far safer for one's reputation to appear in the same room as less controversial figures such as the chaps appearing last weekend at the Muslim Council of Calgary's big event in Alberta. Their keynote speaker was the Saudi-educated imam Dr Bilal Phillips, who's on record as saying that every male homosexual should be executed. He later clarified his position: He only wants all male homosexuals in Muslim countries executed. "The media tends to take my words out of context," he said.
Also on the bill was the moderate Muslim Shaykh Hatem Alhaj, who supports the introduction of female genital mutilation to North America. But he's a "moderate" Muslim because he only believes in nicking the clitoris rather than slicing the thing right off. So the head of the Calgary Police Diversity Unit and multiple representatives of the Canadian state had no problem whatsoever being in the same room as Messrs Alhaj and Phillips.
There is literally nothing a prominent Muslim can say – about gays, about Jews, about women – that would render him persona non grata. That's the world we live in: sharing a stage with a man calling for compulsory execution for homosexuals isn't controversial; sharing a stage with Lars Hedegaard is."He could have said it about Wilders.
