Dutch politician criticizes the Koran

[Erasmus]

AMSTERDAM – If Muslims want to stay in the Netherlands, they should tear out half the Koran and throw it away. And they shouldn’t listen to the imam. Faction leader of the Freedom Party (PVV) Geert Wilders said this in an interview with daily newspaper De Pers on Tuesday.
He said the holy book of Islam contains “plenty of terrible things.” Wilders said once again that Islam is a violent religion. “If Mohammed lived here today, I would propose he be tarred and feathered as an extremist and driven out of the country,” he said.
The politician wants to impress on people that Islam is “the greatest danger threatening us.” He says that other political parties avoid topics like this. “Everything we are proud of, we are selling to the devil. Former head of the Mossad Efraim Halevy says that World War III has begun. I would not use those words, but it’s true,” said Wilders, who in the past has voiced his fear of a “tsunami of Islamisation in the Netherlands.”

Wilders: “Take a walk down the street and see where this is going. You no longer feel like you are living in your own country. There is a battle going on and we have to defend ourselves. Before you know it there will be more mosques than churches!”

I hope for a similar criticism to the Talmud but, you know...

A triple Hurrah for Gert Wilders. He is our man.

I am not sure though, if a simple Koran-bashing contributes significantly to the preservation of Europe.

The core issue should be addressed and it is the whole mentality of the "modern West." Mass-immigration (Muslim and not) is only a symptom of a disease, not its cause.

As Christian I don't believe in the truthfulness of Koran, I find it just a work of fiction, a product of the Arabic poetry. I am pretty indifferent to it.

As a work of fiction, is not very good.
I mean, on the literary side, it is far less good than great European masteworks (just few names: Dante, Goethe, Shakespeare). I have read part of it and I found it very dispersive and without a coherent form.

It contributes nothing, if coming from some politicians. His message is assimilationist. Chances to revert the effects of assimilationism are far thinner than chances to revert the effects of multiculturalism.
