Bits of news like this show me we have yet a long long way to go ahead of us before anything like peace, understanding and mutual respect is reached…
A Dutch member of parliament has called for the Quran to be banned in the Netherlands, describing it as a “fascist book” which calls on people to kill non-believers and rape women.
Geert Wilders, leader of the far-right Freedom Party, called for the ban in a letter published in De Volkskrant newspaper.

“I am fed up with Islam in the Netherlands: no more Muslim immigrants allowed. I am fed up with the worship of Allah and Muhammad in the Netherlands: no more mosques,” his letter concluded.

With fools like this guy in governments and high places from both sides of the divide, the madness will just go on and on, making things worse and worse for us all.
stupidity has no limit
I follow this case since some time, very sad this guy can always gain attention in the media with radical ideas like this one. That’s what makes him dangerous. If he hadn’t this platform – may it report positive or negative about him – he wouldn’t scare me more than a mice. But as a loud demagogue he can hurt too much people’s feelings. What can happen in situations like this you could see in the Ayaan Hirsi Ali / Theo van Gogh case.
Interestingly, in that way he works for the same goal like Al Qaida: The clash of civilizations.
Mice? I think I meant mouse – or midge? I don’t know… forget about it.
I also agree with the Dutch MP this radicalism has gotten way out of control. If western style governments dont stand up to this who will.We will ignore this at our own peril.I would like to know how much tolerance these radicals would have for Christians behaving in this manner on their turf.
I think Larry’s our old friend Craig, MMM, whom you may recall I suspected of being a thirty-ish French-educated neo-Marxist with a superb mastery of colloquial English and a penchant for demagoguery? Their typos are the same. (I later dropped my colorful characterization of Craig as the transexual manager of a Parisian night club catering to midget transvestites–this after a wave of hate mail form midget transvestites. Really, I had no idea and meant no offense.)
As to the Koran (why do you spell it wrong? 🙂 ), seemingly the same number of people who haven’t read it condemn it as quote it out of context to their own ends.
When last I heard, we had four carrier battle groups lumbering about off the coast of Iran. Perhaps the long-awaited festivities will soon begin? We have been hearing much public anguish of late about IED’s of alleged Iranian manufacture. “They’re killing our boys!” is historically the prelude to lots more killing. (Got that one from an interview with Hermann Goering as he was awaiting exeuction at Nuremberg. I commend the interview to your attention–it’s obscure but chilling.)
A blessing of healing on your cellphone network.

I think Janissary is a promoter of people who would rather strap bombs to their children and blow up innocent people in a marketplace,then hide in womans clothing like yhe cowards that they are.
PS not Craig,not thirty,not French,nor a Marxist. Wrong on all counts.
Yeah, it’s Craig.
As always, MMM, I apologize for the wretched syntax and spelling of the more doltish of our craven, armchair warriors. Universal education never had much of chance in the U.S., swamped as it was by our early deadly embrace of Lockean liberalism.
I think we’ve got this down to a system, though, sir: fueled by copious amounts of Bud [you don’t want to know] they come to [virtually] savage a Muslim; but get you with your Zen-like calm and some guy from Harvard.
You know there’s a theory that the Crusader states might have survived much longer–contain your grief 🙂 )–had they not always had to bend to their bellicose cousins from Europe who periodically came thundering in with impossible military demands fueled by hereditary arrogance, stupidity and cultural ignorance. Typically the barons of Outremer made accommodations in the interest of trade and a tenuous peace, as did their Muslim neighbors.
My, we’ve come a long way, haven’t we?
Adam still periodically rewiring Eman’s laptop? 🙂
Best to all.

I think people love to talk about things they have no idea of.Do u really think a religion would allow blowing up people? Its terrorism not religion.
Apart from this, the Koran clearly condemns violence. Even war does not allow children and women to be killed and this is not even war!
Terrorism was probably created in the minds of muslims due to a confused meaning of the word jihad. It is a word meaning “to struggle” and is far from violence. This confusion was probably created by polititians and other leaders for their own benfit. What is a better way to get buh-millions of money than to get it out of people with no brains. This is not the case only with muslims but is a modern repition of many other such cases.It not only targets religions but also “Cults”.
The terrorists who claim to be following Islam target mulsims in their own countries and other ones. Just shows how ignorant they are of their own faith.
I belive the war must continue against terrorists but not any religion.
Anees
pure ignorance!
Go out there and search the truth for yourself! Islam promotes peace and tolerance. Why can
