At a certain level, the trial of Geert Wilders for the crime of
“group insult” of Islam is déjà vu all over again. For as the
spokesperson for the Openbaar Ministerie put it, “It is irrelevant
whether Wilders’s witnesses might prove Wilders’s observations to be
correct. What’s relevant is that his observations are illegal.”
Ah, yes, in the Netherlands, as in Canada, the truth is no defence.
My Dutch is a little rusty but I believe the “Openbaar Ministerie”
translates in English to the Ministry for Openly Barring People.
Whoops, my mistake. It’s the prosecution service of the Dutch Ministry
of Justice. But it shares with Canada’s “human rights” commissions an
institutional contempt for the truth.
As for “Wilders’s witnesses,” he submitted a list of 18, and the
Amsterdam court rejected no fewer than 15 of them. As with Commissar
MacNaughton and her troika of pseudo-judges presiding over the
Maclean’s trial in British Columbia, it’s easier to make the rules up
as you go along.
It’s remarkable how speedily “the most tolerant country in Europe,”
in a peculiarly repellent strain of coercive appeasement, has adopted
“shoot the messenger” as an all-purpose cure-all for “Islamophobia.” To
some of us, the Netherlands means tulips, clogs, windmills, fingers in
the dike. To others, it means marijuana cafés, long-haired soldiers,
legalized hookers, fingers in the dike. But the contemporary reality is
an increasingly incoherent polity where gays are bashed, uncovered
women get jeered at, and you can’t do The Diary of Anne Frank as your
school play lest the Gestapo walk-ons are greeted by audience cries of
“She’s in the attic!” Speaking as a bona fide far-right nutcase,
It’s not “ironic” that the most liberal country in western Europe
should be the most advanced in its descent into a profoundly illiberal
hell. It was entirely foreseeable. Geert Wilders is stating the
obvious: a society that becomes more Muslim will have fewer gays. Last
year, the Rainbow Palace, formerly Amsterdam’s most popular homo-hotel
(relax, that’s the Dutch word for it), announced it was renaming itself
the Sharm and reorienting itself to Islamic tourism. Or as the website
allah.eu put it: “Gay Hotel Turns Muslim.”
Yet, despite its significance, the trial has received relatively
little coverage in the Western media, in part because, for those of a
multiculti bent, there’s no easy way to blur the reality—that this is a
political prosecution by a thought police so stupid they don’t realize
they’re delegitimizing the very institutions of the state. Still, the
BBC gave it their best shot, concluding their report thus:
“Correspondents say his Freedom Party (PVV), which has nine MPs in the
lower house of parliament, has built its popularity largely by tapping
into the fear and resentment of Muslim immigrants.”
Gotcha. This democracy business is all very well, but let’s face it,
the people are saps, gullible boobs, racist morons, knuckle-dragging
f–kwits.
