Bill O’Reilly Provides Affirmation And Validation For Dutch Islamophobe

Geert Wilders is a member of a far right Dutch political party which advocates that Judeo Christian values be enshrined in the Dutch constitution, immigration from non Western countries be stopped, the construction of mosques and preaching in languages other than Dutch be banned, and that education standards be restored with an emphasis on the family. He told the British Guardian that Islam "is not a religion, it's the ideology of a retarded culture". The German Der Speigel has referred to his anti Islamic commentary as “hate filled tirades.” He is being prosecuted by the Dutch government for hate crimes and was recently banned from the United Kingdom for his extremism. His “tour de force” is a short movie on Islam that is considered, even by the Jewish community in the Netherlands, to be viruntly Islamophobic as it portrays Islam as a terrorist religion. So it was no surprise to see Mr. Wilders being given a platfrom for his views from Fox News Bill O’Reilly, whose views on religion and culture would seem to dovetail nicely with Wilders.....
