Banned from UK
So once more our anti-Muslim friends are busy blogging (or rather pasting news articles into their posts) about the ban on Geert Wilders entering the UK. It’s just one more example of the move towards dhimitude, they say. How outrageous, they complain. This is a sop to the Muslims who are taking over this country and creating an Islamic republic in our midst.
But just a minute. Geert Wilders isn’t the first person to have been banned from entering the UK. Mr Farrakhan has been banned from entering since 1986 because of his racist and anti-Semitic views. Indeed the Jamaican musician, Siccatune Alcock (aka Jah Cure) is banned as well after serving 8 years in prison for rape. It isn’t as if Geert Wilders has been singled out and given unique discriminatory treatment.
But let’s not let this distract us. The anti-Muslims must flog stories like this in order to convince us of our demise. Another case of the abuse of freedom of speech, they say, although they didn’t seem to think much of that when they heard what Rowan Williams had to say about parts of sharia a year or so ago. Blah, blah, blah.

As-Salaamu ‘alaikum,
Even Martha Stewart has been banned from visiting the UK, because she has a criminal conviction. This country has a history of keeping out undesirable rabble-rousers and Geert Wilders should be no exception – a politician who bases his career on open bigotry is a dangerous prospect, especially when we are falling into a recession that might be worse than the 1930s. Insha Allah I have a post coming up about this moron, who doesn’t even have the sense to find another way into the UK besides Heathrow.

More pertinent to this matter is why did a member of the House of Lords invite him? And to show his film in of all places, the House of Lords? More dangerous than this anti-Islam Dutch are Lords sharing his views that should be a concern for UK Muslims.
If this Dutch is sincere in ‘exposing’ the links between terrorism and Al Quran, then his next project should be the “Bible and pornography/debauchery”.
