“Wilders is not Holland”
March 9th, 2008

Wilders is not Holland is a website that gives the opportunity to the Dutch people to “show the world that Geert Wilders does not speak on behalf of Holland, but on behalf of himself.”

The webbased petition starts with the following intro:

Dear people of the international community,
We, the Dutch, find it important to show the world that Geert Wilders and his forthcoming film ‘Fitna’ are not expressing the views of the people of Holland.

The initiators continue to motivate this collective action as following:

(..) “We want to believe in talking with each other, listening to each other and respecting each other. Freedom of speech is a great good. But living together in peace is too”

On March 21 a total of 8092 people signed the petition, and the Telegraaf picked it up.

wilders is gek!
volgens mij vergeet hij dat er nog 1600 nederlandse mannen en vrouwen daar zijn.
iedereen heeft een mening en mag die ook hebben maar niet op deze manier!!

“We, the Dutch,……..”
it says, but when I go to their website I see that ONLY 2505 people have signed the petition.
(out of 16.5 million Dutch!)

if we live in a true democracy (and I think the Netherlands is) freedom of speech is a right.
parties to the extreme right OR left might have their “15 min of fame”, but voters can deal with them at the next election.

but beside that, pls. name ONE islamic state that has a democratic government!

the “west” wants to separate state and church.
Islam is a state INSIDE a mosque!

even before we have seen just one second of this “movie” there are already death treads and protests. (by Muslim MEN)
WHY! is there something we are not allowed to see?

Wilders, I won’t shake your hand, but you are entiteled to say your say!

“We, the Dutch”, have the arrogance to think that they can speak in the name of ALL Dutch! Unbelievable!

We, the Dutch, are not islamic.
We, the Dutch, believe in DEMOCRACY.
We, the Dutch, hate sharia and suppression of women, gay people, and Jews.

That’s something they have forgotten. So get lost with this left side arrogance!

Jan, thanks for having your say. Maybe you overlooked that the petition also states: “Freedom of speech is a great good. Living together in peace and respecting each other are too”
